dip dip sounding like a lit trip talking like you
aint seen nothin before.
i'm gonna kiss this just a little bit bit
i'm gonna sit sit and slide on the floor
this is the sound of the hay day 
we're gonna 
stay til we can't anymore
we're gonna 
live to the love of the real days
until we don't look like us any more. 
and we stay 
up all night
til the sun shines starting a new day
up all night
and we both say this alright babe.

this this looking like a fit fit
doesn't seem to feel like it felt like before
another shift sits cept it's not the same lift 
lifting up the dark empty side of your core 
this is the sound of the hay day 
we're gonna 
stay til we can't anymore
we're gonna 
live to the love of the real days
until we don't look like us any more. 
and we stay 
up all night
til the sun shines starting a new day
up all night
and we both say this alright babe.

Up All Night - Jacques Cortelyou

Up All Night

come get my lovin' all my love
come get my love until your all the way
all the way

Come Get My Lovin'

i heard you call my name 
it was in anger
you said to me 
how did we get here
we left that day
and saw the best things
that came our way
and we sang

l-o-v-e

and the sound is in my head 
and it ways me down
and the sign that looks so red
another story says

l-o-v-e

make this another day 
to be my best friend
instead of sayin
that you love me
and then i think it's like he hates me
until we say it's the end

L-O-V-E

when i hold ya 
in your place
call me crazy, call me all the things you always say
when i told you
on the floor
i said it's never just the things that we can love that day

i hold my head inside my eyes when i recognize the pain i called it
inside that mind, that sunnny side, it's not the way you said you even saw it. 
 
alone when you wake up in the morning cuz its cold
alone when i look and see you left me hours ago
and i recognize you think it's is just a joke 
alone 
ahhhhh
alone and you finally found a sucker with a soul
alone and its sounding like a story that we know
and it;s looking like a dreamy tv show
alone 
ahhh

when i saw you 
and i stayed
then i said it couldn't ever be the same old thing
when i tried to 
be your babe
it doesn't ever need another thing that we can't be

i hold my head inside my eyes when i recognize the pain, i called it
inside that mind, that sunnny side, it's not the way you said you even saw it

Recognize

Synth Guitar Performed By Jacques Cortelyou on Yamaha MX 88 Keyboard.  

to get back all you know 
only finding there's no time to fly 
and only line by line to go 
to try and save this noisy mind 
it's like 
guessing all the questions
instead of chasing all the signs
i said it's guessing all the questions
a noisy time to try 
find my time to try 

to miniminze my own mind takes time
to find my whole life i try
to minimize my own mind
to minimize my own mind

it's a crazy time to show
all the things you never found inside
taping up the holes
its kinda like a story left behind 
it's like
asking for attention
but saying that your fine
i never wanted that attention
i said i will be fine 
i will be fine this time

Minimize Your Mind (Synth Whammy Guitar Edit)

Minimize My Own Mind (Synth Whammy Guitar Edit)

on sunday morning thought i was 
flyin higher than the sky i saw
found a lover so it seemed 
but it was only my heart just a dream i saw
my body risin off the ground
im floating through clouds but how
movin faster so it seems then i turn my head and i just scream i said

dream yeah we're gonna dream
dream yeah we're gonna dream

i'm finding nothing seems the same
tried riding on a beam of sand
that starlight said to me  
how to find myself inside this dream it said
try harder jump to fly you can
fly higher then the other man
look down it doesn't mean
that you can say this is just a dream it said


Dream

gone away 
to the stars
hold my love 
in my arms
take my hand 
we're gonna live this together

going alone
going far
with my own
beating heart
in the end
we're gonna live this forever

gone 
to get
to love
to hold my breathing 
start
to find
to feel 
to look like i had lost
the deal 
of life that 
found this love so far
to see 
to start 
to live like that so hard


Gone Away To The Stars

tell me your life and i'll call you my friend 
tell me your life and i'll give you my soul
tell me your life and i'll call you my friend
from anywhere

i finally found the path i saw
our life 
so long 
i finally found it almost all

Featuring Synth & Synth Electric Guitar Performed By Jacques Cortelyou

my side on time to get a ride 
gonna fly high on fire to make you mine
and i send my old life i say goodbye
and i look like i never saw a diamond
and i rust and i'm fighting lately 
and i rust and im trying maybe 
and i rust and im flying soaring
and i rust and im blind but then i'm gonna see it

and i say my right side is not the right
and i look like i never found a story
and i rust and i'm fighting lately 
and i rust and im trying maybe 
and i rust and im flying soaring
and i rust and im blind but then i'm gonna see it

when you're found 
and you lived 
to be loved 
and you sing 
sunset wild 
sunset wild
 

Sunset Wild

gonna find my only friend i go and say i found the only friend i know
and i couldn't find the path i know instead i walked another life i owe
and all the fear i said i saw i'd never live i never said i'd go
to another place i saw the love i went to save the stars that night i know

and i found love  
on my side 
and i never let it go
and it came time
to light the light 
and it came from you
and im tryin
to find it

so i stop and see the light this time and i look and see my thoughts they start to flow
and i shouldn't watch things line by line and i should of did this years not months ago
and i can hear the peace that sound is like the only one i said id show
to live and see this other world and love the days that i could never know.

and there it goes another side another line that says that ill be free
and i wouldn't try another life and i wouldn't like another side of me
so i can see this love i thought id never find it in a scary dream
and then i watched it come alive and said i think its supposed to look like me 



Tryin To Find It

gotta go find my own way,
i gotta go find a way out
gotta go get a new morning - get out of here
got the world spinning round on a plate
got the world spinning out of control here
got the world looking backwards spittin out of my ears

and it feels like
it feels like i'm calling an angel
on a lifeline 
a line i can finally hear
call me back 
call me back

started to start a new day
i started to find a way down 
started to look at the moment not just the year
found a world lookin out at the day
found a world lookin out at my soul here
found a world spinnin idle and i try - not to hear




Calling An Angel

i never lived to say i wanted more
i never found what i started for
i never saw the bright side light 
i never walked through the fire fight

i never laughed so hard 
laughed so hard
i never laughed so alone
i never laughed so hard 
laughed so hard
i never laughed so hard its my soul

cuz there we are we can't find love when were waitin
and there we are we cant stop someone from sayin
cuz we are

and there i go it's like i never know
until i lost i tried to fight for you
its like the love its like the other show
and now i know it's not the same old you
