💛 Song meaning: This song shares the internal conflict of trying to live alone. It doesn't take long to realize you simply cannot do it. Life is meant to be shared - joy and pain - so share it.

🎶 Lyrics: 
How far can I go
Before you catch me
Before you catch me low
How long can I run
Before you stop me
Before you stop me 

I’ve been running a long long time
I can’t run no more
Run no more
I’ve been losing my own damn mind
I can’t think no more
Think no more

How long can I hold
Everything in place
Everything in place
How far can it be
Where we wanna go
Where you wanna go

I’ve been running a long long time
I can’t run no more
Can’t hardly breathe no more
I’ve been losing my own damn mind
I can’t think no more
Can’t hardly speak no more

Now if you hold it in your hands
Why’s this world feel so on edge
And when it all comes crashing in
Where will you be in the end

How far will you go
Just to show me
Just to tell me so
How long till I see
You were always there
You’re always there

💛 Song meaning: ""friends"" is for those late-night thinkers, scrolling through old photos and wondering about the people who've drifted away. It's that moment when you're driving alone, caught between nostalgia and the present.

🎶 Lyrics: 
long way until returning home
big smile reflected off your face
every little scar reminds me of the metal I kissed
back then
drying on my lips
did you even see two grown ups in the rear view mirror
that's me, inside
hiding in a tree
pack your bags
and turn your head back home
run as fast as your legs will go
run
run
run
run
long way until I taste again
a mixture of ice and blood inside my veins
backboard to goof'
I miss the smiling faces of my friends
I guess
I'm hiding in my tree
pack your bags and turn your head back home
run as fast as your legs will
run
run
run
run
run
run
run
run
run
run
backboard to goof'
I miss the smiling faces of my friends
I guess
I'm hiding in my tree

💛 Song meaning: This song is about hope.
It was written after Covid, when someone had to go back home as the pandemic was spreading.
With the warm afterglow of summer “fire” became the dream to see them again and feel that connection, that love once again.

🎶 Lyrics: 
I lay 
in between your arms and what I see
Is sunshine pouring from your eyes
Getting the best of you, the best of me

And time 
has been lost in the ocean of your sheets
Alone
Sinking in the breath of your summer dreams

Where do we go now
Where do we go

Hold my hand
I have gone through time and space to find
Someone like you 
So let me see the light that I’ve been craving all my life
And I’ll come, come, just to see you there

And I’ll come when the fire starts
And I’ll come, come, just to see that I 
I am yours
Just to see that I’m, I’m yours
Just to see that I’m, I’m home
