Lyrics:
Come on and breathe with me 
Come on and dance with me
I’ll give you what you think you need 
It's all you've got now
Come try your luck with me
There's no sense in believing
There's no sense in what you can't see 
But it's all you've got now

It doesn't matter if it's obvious why I’m on my knees
It doesn't stop it from killing and taking over me
I'm right where you are 
Right where you are 
Right where you are 
Waiting to call 
I'm right where you are now

Come hide away with me
Stop you from feeling a thing 
But it won't help you find true meaning 
In where you are now 

Come on and breathe with me
Come try your luck with me
Come hide away with me

Right Where You Are

Lyrics:
You found it so attractive
How I shook nervously 
And I didn't know what to do 
You could see right through me
I guess I'll stop pretending 
I said “this is my first time”
She said “boy don't you worry I will take it from here”

And I saw her standing in the street
Under the moonlight in her bare feet 
She wore a sun dress
With butterscotch breathe
How could I forget, forget that kiss

You never thought I noticed
How you curled your hair
Around your finger and your thumb 
When you feel a little scared
You know they'll eat right through you
Those butterflies
So sit back relax and close your eyes

And I saw her standing in the street
Under the moonlight in her bare feet 
She wore a sun dress
With butterscotch breathe
How could I forget, forget that kiss
And I held her so very close
I felt her heart beat rattle my bones
I took the next step with butterscotch lips 
How could I forget, forget that kiss

We were little bit scared 
Just a little bit scared 
So watch our heart beat 
We were little bit scared 
Just a little bit scared 
So watch our heart beat

Butterscotch

Lyrics:
Ask yourself
What is the point if you fool yourself?
If you believe you have no one else
Stuck on the outside
It's such a shame
You gotta leave when no one knows your name
You're moving backwards but you can't complain
This never felt right

Well nothing compares
Nothing is fair
Does anyone care, if you’re still there?
Would you think twice?
Would this feel right?
In the daylight

It's a waste of time
To write this down when there's no peace of mind
You can't escape so you fake the line
On to the outside

Well nothing compares
Nothing is fair
Does anyone care, if you’re still there?
Would you think twice?
Would this feel right?
In the daylight

In the daylight

Daylight

Lyrics:
Have you ever tried just to listen as the day goes by
Now I’m not asking you to change your life
No you’re not alone

You can take back today
But you gotta live and let learn
Baby I know
Ya baby I know
You’re not alone

You’re doing fine 
It don’t come easy so you take your time
Don’t let them know you ain’t got a dime
Ya you’re not alone
Hold up your hand
Maybe they’ll notice once you take a stand
It don’t get better so do what you can
Ya you’re not alone

You can take back today
But you gotta live and let learn
Baby I know
Ya baby I know
That it’s all just a little too much
To make that turn
Baby I know 
Ya baby I know
You’re not alone

Don’t let your heart beat out
Don’t let your feelings known
Don’t let it get you down
You’re not alone

Not Alone

Lyrics:
The distances we've gone
The promises and pain
We've been apart too long 
But I'll wait everyday
There's two heart beats beside us now
We keep marching but I don't know how

Honestly I
Honestly I 
Honestly I don't see myself 
With anyone else
But you 

Honestly

Lyrics:
It makes you smile out every time
You see the lit up street sign
Remember where you were that night 
When you found it
Ya you found it
So if you choose to walk away you better run
‘Cause if you don't it will drag you in 

Are you sure?
Are you sure?
That you want this…

You come alive with the heavy sound
They sing it back and you heart pounds
You feel your soul drop to the ground
And you want it 
Ya you want it 
So if you choose to walk away you better run
-Cuz if you don't it will drag you in 

Are you sure?
Are you sure?
That you want this…

It makes you cry out every night
And twist and turn with your insides
You don't want to know what it feels like 
Are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure?
Are you sure?
That you want this…

Sure

Lyrics:
Come back to me darling 
Come back to me your heart
Come back to me love 
With the look with the smile with the way you are 
Come back to me good times
Come back to me long laugh 
Come back to me now 
I will let you in ‘cause you know you are mine
We’ve been tossed around
We’ve been upside down

I want you, I want you now
I want you, I want you now

Come back to me romance 
Come back to me slow dance 
Come back to me now
All I need all I want all I see is you 
Come back to me dark hair
Come back to me your stare 
Come back to me now 
All I need all I want all I see is you 
We've been out of touch 
And I missed you so much 

I want you, I want you now
I want you, I want you now
I lost you once I won't ever let go 
Drag myself out of this sorrow 
Get up get out of this town I 
I want you now 
I want you 

We've been tossed around
We've been upside down
We've been out of touch 
And I missed you so much


Come Back To Me

The Lights, The Sound, Salt Lake City band Frame & Canvas’ debut album (2011), displays a masterful combination of soaring guitar riffs, soulful vocals and catchy choruses. Drawing influence from bands like Jimmy Eat World, Coldplay and The Fray, Frame & Canvas has created their own brand of contemporary pop rock that’s sure to gain a devoted following. With a diverse collection of infectious pop singles such as  “Butterscotch” and “Sure” to emotional, brooding rock songs like “The Lights, The Sound” and “Daylight,” this album has something for everyone.

“Frame & Canvas offers emo-rock... [And] they do it very well. Their [live] set was full of solid song writing and smooth progressions. If they keep it up I expect they will again have songs on X96 and other like-minded stations....” Tom Bennett, Slug Magazine, said after recognizing the group as former members of local bands Mesa Drive and Paxtin.

What started as a side project for lead singer and guitarist, Chad Hansen, quickly turned into an official thing as he began collaborating at the Lounge Studio with brother and guitarist Marc Hansen, drummer RK Topper and engineer/producer Trevor Price. “We really had no control over ourselves,” Chad Hansen said. “It was going to happen whether we liked it or not.” The album’s title track “The Lights, The Sound” really explains it best. Chad Hansen croons “I am not myself” with such passion, referring to the intrinsic need each band member felt to be writing, recording and performing music again. 

Frame & Canvas puts everything they’ve got into their performance and it shows. “We are all playing for the song,” said Topper, a drummer known around Utah for his impeccable timing. “Not to show off how talented we are, but to show how amazing the song is.” The band strives to make sure their music is something everyone can enjoy. “The music that we write should be for everyone no matter where they come from…,” Chad Hansen said. “Hopefully they find meaning and connection with the music and the lyrics of our songs.”

The band’s name, Frame & Canvas, finds its origins on the 1998 Braid album of the same name. “We didn’t set out to sound like Braid in any way,” Marc Hansen said. “We just wanted to show respect to one of the most influential albums of our youth. As we thought about Frame & Canvas we attached our own meaning to it--discussing how life is always in motion and how an album is really just a snapshot describing where you are.” 

During the album writing process, Marc Hansen said they kept their live show and their musical roots in mind. Working with Price, they were given a tremendous amount of freedom to experiment and figure out what they liked best. “For me it was amazing to just be able to really sit down and experiment with different tones, ideas,” Topper said, “and then really make each part count.” Chad Hansen described the process as “liberating,” saying “nothing was off limits... we had all the creative power.” The result: an introductory album with mass appeal or “top 40 with a splash of indie-rock and two parts soulful vocals,” as Topper put it.
