Highs and Lows
06:05

Dusk alone we sit
Just like no one else exists
Seeing stars unveil their quiet faces one by one
A firelight licks the air
And I feel we’re unaware
Of lives meandering beside us universally
And I’ve felt this way before
I’d I’ll feel it all again so gladly
Wide open is my door
‘Cos it all keeps us from thinking madly
About the highs and lows
Just like the nears and fars
They come and go with you, and you, and you
Oh the highs and lows
Just like the soft and slows
They give and take from you.
I thought of you this evening
And I wondered how you are
And if you think of all those times beneath the crumbling ceiling
Thoughts and secrets stowed
And the laughter was so real
We watched some stupid T.V. shows
And played our songs like cards
And I’ve felt this way before
But I want it all again so badly
Wide open is my door
‘Cos it all keeps us from thinking madly
About the highs and lows
Just like the nears and fars
They come and go with you, and you, and you
Oh the highs and lows
Just like the soft and slows
They give and take from you.
New friends replace old ones
Unbridled by bags and
Umbrellas to keep the
Rain of our hearts want to
Stay lightly treading
With steps beside those
Mindfully breaking the
Rules we know/ nobody goes unnoticed
Nobody goes unnoticed…

Leave it all Behind
03:30

Little shoots growing
Between the footpath showing
The city hums in the distance
My poor lungs are resisting
Peering over the fence where
Paradise is an armchair
The evening rain is painting
Brushing away my pain
Still I find
I would leave it all behind
For a little peace of mind
Sneak out in the dead of night
For a little peace and quiet
People stacked in these buildings
Listening through the ceilings
I imagine that out of my window
The hills are moving as wind blows
Looking out from my backyard
Happiness is a postcard
Im startled from my reverie
By a siren passing me
Still I find
I would leave it all behind
For a little peace of mind
Sneak out in the dead of night
For a little peace and quiet

Quiet Life
04:39
|

|
Silent district the doors are all closed
Nothing to do nowhere to go
Time and distance a change of the heart
Waiting around to find a different path
Slow and steady a walking pace
Worlds on the move take it day by day
Anchor gently the waves wash away
Anxious to go, willing to stay
Found a memory in my pocket
Thought I’d let it go
I’m not ready for the quiet life
I still wanna feel the heat
I’m ready for the bright lights
But I wanna go to sleep at night
Night time highway the lights fly past
Life in the fast lane it lit the spark
Euphoric places now sleep’s round the bend
Wake in the morning and do it all again
Mind is racing keep up with the speed
Songs on repeat and I forget to breath
Greasy riders the salt and the gin
Tasting the limelight it pulls you in
Found a memory in my pocket
Thought I’d let it go
I’m not ready for the quiet life
I still wanna feel the heat
I’m ready for the bright lights
But still wanna go to sleep
I’m not ready for the quiet life
But I’m already counting sheep
I feel heady from the bright lights
And I wanna go to sleep at night

Small

Highlight of mine
New, quite untouched
Soft taste on my tongue
Landing, quiet salt air
Somehow
Somewhere, Near
How far?
Maybe it's time
Simple and Small
Hurtling outdoors
I hide in your eyes
Tears in autumn dust
But thoughts in me
are new, now
How far?
Maybe it's time

Sarah

I get caught in your eyes
And like a rip they pull me under
Yeah it fills me with a certain kind of terror
Sarah
Why’d you do it to me
I don’t know where we stand anymore
And My feet can’t seem to hold my body upright
Starlight
Creeping through the shutters
Dust and litter caught in my teeth
I hear it every time I open my lips to speak
But where do we go from here?
I saw love in your eyes
Til they started changing colour
And I don’t think that I see you like I used to
Are we through?
Cos I’m talking to the pavement
Are you even here anymore
Or are we fading like the old family photos
Our rose tinted lives
When did we become old news
I know I’ll never really know you
But where do we go from here?

Hugging You
02:15
|

This song's for going nowhere and seeing no one with a great uncertainty,
About the timeline and when we'll arrive to this new reality,
My eyes are tired from the screen time and it's almost spring,
I smile at the wattle bloom and taste the memory
Of hugging you,
This song's for going somewhere and seeing someone still with great uncertainty,
About the timeline and have we arrived to this new reality,
My hands are tied by the guidelines, summer's almost here,
I smile at my heirlooms,
they're growing up like hot air balloons,
I stare to the same sky,
Hoping that I'll see you soon.

Horizon

Walking on these
Rough and tumble weeds
Birds are singing
I’m fortified and
Battle hardened yet cracks are
letting the light in
Growing forward
Setting sun at my back
Autumns falling
Wheels in motion
Overwhelming but i’ll
Make it somehow
I was heading in a straight line
Drawing shapes that didn’t fit right
Dreaming patterns in a past life
Waking up is a bright new day
Rumbling over
Ancient fossils I
Think they hear us
Talking over
One another again and
Letting the fight win
Wayward beings
This path is weathered in
Never ending
Horizons watching
Waiting patiently a
Friend in the distance
I was heading in a straight line
Drawing shapes that didn’t fit right
Dreaming patterns in a past life
Waking up is a bright new day
Will the future
Look back like we do

Perfume
04:16

Who are you - when the things you did before are now all gone?
Momentum sustained you - now suspended feet can’t touch the ground
But here in the air,
Wait a while to see it clearly
Tasting a breeze,
There’s a different perfume to this place
I think I’d like to stay.
Where are you - when the world you travelled freely has closed down?
Friends entertained you - and held you close when they could come around,
But here in the dark,
It takes a while to see it clearly,
Glowing so bright,
There’s a different perfume to this place,
I think I’d like to stay.
How do you - learn to slow right down and take things in?
When big worlds impressed you - now the tiny moments give you wings.
Here in the clouds,
The sky has energetic charges,
Breathing in deep,
There’s a different perfume to this place,
And I think I’d like to stay.

Sue and Steve

Majestic mountains rise from the misty morn
Ships that could ride them like the sea
Adorning every corner like creatures
Steeped in a growing memory
And with a view like this I could sit here for hours
Waxing and waning all my days
While Sue and Steve keep coming and going
And open their hearts to those who stay
Open their hearts to those who stay
With quiet wisdom and breakfast of tea and eggs
He paddles his surfboard out to sea
Life in tandem, she gives you the kindest stare
And tells you just where you need to be
And with a view like this I could sit here for hours
Waxing and waning all my days
While Sue and Steve keep coming and going
And open their hearts to those who stay
Open their hearts to those who stay
