Swell Suburbia

Rebel With A Home

The Collegiate Life

The dawn it tastes like a bitter-hate,
No light shining through drowning maze

I've had enough of this crooked world, 
Gun or a knife to another world, 
I rise above. 

It's all awaiting, a waiting game, 
A refugee in this parade,  
I've had enough of this crooked world, 
The blood on the knife to another world, 
I rise above

The light will shine, 
Through darkness it germinates with time,
Until that I'll shine on, on, on,
Shine on, it'll break you in two.

Shine, shine on bright, 
I'm shy to the light, 
Love, love the light, 
Shine on, it'll break you, 
Shine on, it'll take you, 
Love on, and true love will prove.

The Reel Life

Giving Love a Try

"Shine"

Baby, hear me,
I got something to say, 
I'm with you when you're alone 
Making love, then getting stoned.

If we, hurry,
We'll catch that morning train, 
We'll have that time to repose, 
The coffee-shop ain't close to closed

It's been a long time, denying all love,
Giving love a try, giving love a try
It may be a long time, but I'm not giving up, 
Giving love a try, giving love a try, giving love a try.

First thing, kiss me, 
Yeah you'll be gone for days, 
I'm with you when you're alone, 
You simply got to pick up the phone 

Baby, just breathe, 
That's just the smoke from the train, 
I'll be back before you know it, you know, 
I'll make you dinner while we kiss by the stove 

It's been a long time, denying all love,  
Giving love a try, giving love a try 
It may be a long time, but I'm not giving up, 
Giving love a try, giving love a try...giving love a try?

...... lies, lies, lies, LIES.
