For You
02:08

I'll write you a song
So simple and sweet
So each time you hear it
You might think of me
I'll make it sound old
Even though it is new
New as the sunrise
On fresh morning dew
Oh, will you sing it with me?
For the stars in the sky
For the moon and the sea
Oh, we could make it all true
We'll sing it for all
But I wrote it for you
If ever you're lonely
And you can't go on
You're tired and wondering
Why good things are gone
Just hum this refrain
And I'll come to your side
Forever I'll wander
But not far behind
Oh, will you sing it with me?
For the stars in the sky
For the moon and the sea
Oh, we could make it all true
We'll sing it for all
But I wrote it for you

Empty Cup
02:27

Everybody and their daughter
Wears exhaustion like a badge of honor
And we don't know why
What's the prize?
Gotta be the most productive
So we can buy everything we've ever wanted
And we don't know why
We feel like crying
Running on caffeine
And four hours of sleep
Gotta feed our addition
To be the most efficient
Oh, you can't pour from an empty cup no
You can't pour from an empty cup no
Oh, you can't pour from an empty cup no
You can't pour from an empty cup, no
We all grew up believing
Taking time to slow down is a sign of weakness
So we subscribe to the daily grind
What if it's a lie?
Running on caffeine
And four hours of sleep
Gotta feed our addition
To be the most efficient
Oh, you can't pour from an empty cup no
You can't pour from an empty cup no
Oh, you can't pour from an empty cup no
You can't pour from an empty cup, no

Laughter & Disaster
02:51
|
|||
We went skinny dipping after your funeral
I was nervous but I knew you'd want me to
Water in my eyes and not a cloud in the sky
I'd forgotten how it felt to be alive
There was laughter and disaster holding hands
There was grief asking joy "Can I have this dance?"
There was present asking future
"Do you have any plans?"
There was laughter and disaster holding hands
Crumpled clothes like paragraphs thrown onto the floor
Could've sworn we all wrote down a different ending
Held my breath, dipped under, I could hear so much more
You were singing us a song from the shore
There was laughter and disaster holding hands
There was grief asking joy "Can I have this dance?"
There was present asking future
"Do you have any plans?"
There was laughter and disaster holding hands
There was laughter and disaster holding hands

Doppler Effect
02:42
|
|||
Your love hit me like a freight train
I saw it from a distance
And I felt its low refrain
Your light traveling at great speeds
Have you been waiting for me
This whole time?
We can't control the wave
So let's ride it anyway
Higher on approach and then it slows down
So hold me now
Your heart is part of the equation
Part of what I'm waiting for
Can we shift these blues tonight?
We can't control the wave
So let's ride it anyway
Higher on approach and then it slows down
Far beyond reproach of what I know
We've got an accurate assessment of the flow
So hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now

Honeymoon
03:11
|
|||
I thought my heart was full as a glass of water
Filled to the top so close to spilling over
Then you loved me like a river
Rushing to the sea
Honey Moon is rising in the sky tonight
Honey Moon, reflected in your eyes tonight
I thought it was impossible
Seems the rumors must be true
I love you more with each and every day
I thank my lucky stars each night
That they led me to you
The honey moon is more than just a phase
I thought my love was taller than Sequoias
With roots down deep and reaching for the sun
Then you loved me like mountain
I knew you were the one
Honey Moon is rising in the sky tonight
Honey Moon , reflected in your eyes tonight
I thought it was impossible
Seems the rumors must be true
I love you more with each and every day
I thank my lucky stars each night
That they led me to you
The honey moon is more than just a phase
I love you more with each and every day

Raining in Los Angeles
02:56
|
|||
There's a certain kind of quiet
Waking up in California
The mountains kiss the sky and say good morning
Oh you look a little thirsty
We all could use a drink
And it's raining in Los Angeles today
There's a sound of sweet relief
Water waltzing with the palm trees
The mountains donned their caps at last for winter
River's on her morning run now
First time out of bed in ages
And it's raining in Los Angeles today
Hallelujah, hallelujah
It's nice to sing our favorite hymn again
And it's raining in Los Angeles today

Heal My Heart
03:45
|
|||
December comes every year about this time
I wish I could remember what any of them felt like
I believe in something more than what I'm seeing
I may not have proof but I know that the truth is I'm breathing
Heal my heart
Heal my heart
I don't know how but it's a start
To say it out loud
Heal my heart
Heal my heart
I don't know who's listening
I just hope they hear me
And heal my heart
I trust in something that doesn't make sense yet
It runs through my veins just like it knows the way so I chase it
I love you every day that I get to
And when we are older we'll look back at all that we went through
Heal my heart
Heal my heart
I don't know how but it's a start
To say it out loud
Heal my heart
Heal my heart
I don't know who's listening
I know someone will hear me
And heal my heart
