Lyrics:

Sitting back and drinking wine
I'm not the one who's getting by
While you fall in love with your equal
It's like thunder when you're around
Our legs swinging from the boardwalk looking down

Starting to love her, but I need to stop
We hear the thunder from the boardwalk

I hope for change but nothing yet
Cause I'd up and move out west
If you could save me from this evil

I'd brush your hair and paint your nails
And whatever love entails
Will you just let me know when it's time to go?

Baby, when you're not around
I only feel the storm raining down

Don't let that thunder stop you now
Those clouds last only for a while

Wasting time all our lives
Cause I'm only getting by
Time to love each other equal
I'd brush your hair and paint your nails
And whatever love entails
We're like thunder now
I follow your sound

I follow you

Your Sunshine

Like Thunder

Lyrics:

I've tried this before but can't speak the language
But I slip up sometimes, try to explain it
Oh, when you try to catch me by surprise
Then turn your hair pink to leave me enamored 

Oh, you're so close by I can't reach you
Lead me back to when daydreaming is all we could do

Give me some more flack for that "she's greater"
Keep on buying books to laugh about later
Wiping your eyes, acrylic getting dry
Waterfall stopping when I go home soon

Slip Up

Lyrics:

Name your price and I'll follow you
Fleeting seconds but we make it last
Acting like we never noticed
The nervous rushes from the past

Shining page for validation
Your greatest hits that I don't see
But you still know the foreign language
My heart can translate when you're next to me

Well I don't want to wait around
But you don't have to mention it
Light shines through on our perfect day
Which I'm not done ruining

Never wanted to be free from you
Summoning my biggest fears
Now the truth comes in our direction
I'll finally catch you sometime this year

Well you don't have to stop me now
I notice every time you seek
Attention comes from where you give it
Our eyes will meet when you love me

Ruining

Lyrics: 
Every chance you get, you'd show me up
Fantasize to be a kid when we grow old
Getting out of this town might bring you hope
I'll write your name in the snow when it's done

Does anybody want your sunshine more than I do?

Bostonian, I don't wanna be cheesier than you
The grass ain't always greener when you're running from our truth
Bostonian, don't blame me for what you're going through
The timing is wrong but you owe me a call
When you're leaving Fenway Park
And I miss you

Travel points that you inhale and puff
Empty breakfast in the vignette of a bottomless town
A future date and time when you find out
All my blue relief is on the cross

Lyrics:

I get a good feeling when you walk in the room 
You know I didn’t have a lot to ask of you
A little something that I know
I don't wanna let you go

But I’m a little alone right now 
So I can wait

Did you wait a while or did it just now come to you?
I’d faster try another beach if it wasn’t a day just too windy 
Do you have it in you to ask me what else should we do? 
I hope I didn’t misjudge you

You get a good feeling when I walk in the room 
You know I didn’t throw this get together for you 
The trip’s up and we both know 
You came through

But I’m a little alone right now 
So I can wait

Take a step back, I’m not so eager to jump in 
Can we kid ourselves for maybe just another minute or two? 
Do you have it in you to ask me what else should we do? 
I hope I get to misjudge you

Did you wait a while or did your notepad not have me 
Off my balcony jump-shouting, “Hey, Earth to Wendy!” 
Call in the Tebow jump pass and I’ll throw myself at you 
I hope you get to misjudge me, too

Earth To Wendy

Lyrics:

I got somebody lately to watch Star Wars with
Every time I think of you nothing gets in the way
It takes a special someone to take the heat off the waves
A blue lit bedroom I could sleep in to save some space

Your cocoa won't stay warm too long

We must be alright if I make a call for two
Derry's cold and Knowhere knows they got nothin' on you
Now you're in my sight
And I've always been in your mind 
While our faces change it proves
I need you

Do you feel safer seeing me in your phone?
You ain't gonna find me watching sitcoms 'til you're back home
I think I already got you
You and your runny nose
Sometimes I miss your crooked haircut in the cold

I could have raced your makeup runs, but it won't stop nothin'
I met you back in Hershey, we were only half alive
I knew your blonde hair from a mile away
Now we get to cut down the distance

Call For Two

Lyrics:

Take me back to your beach again
Show me how to swim, and then
I'll tell you secrets no one knows about me
Skip the time when we were friends
It will crash and burn in the end
I promise you can be the mend within me

If I don't speak your language will you tell me how you feel?
Looking back, I know about every time we both thought that this was real
How long have I longed for you to fall in love with me? 

It doesn't make it right or wrong
You're the one that I always call
But somewhere deep inside, we both knew it all along
Skip a beat, skip my heartbeat
The ride home is so bittersweet
Let's beat the traffic on the 79 tonight

Skip a beat, skip my heartbeat
The ride home is so bittersweet
Let's leave this town tonight

Back To Your Beach

Written by NMJP.

Lyrics:

It doesn't help with a face like that to see
Is it killing me the way I think I make it seem?
Pull the block away and now my heart will crumble
She got back to me
Simple phrasing

Find me sitting poolside
(making things up)
I'll catch up at the end
(saying this could never happen again)
A million years I think I've dreamed of
(our situation)
You even speak to me
(when you say nothing)

Nobody made you step like that towards me
It's all too much for me, it always will be
Jack the price of gas and we'll drive to Austin
Won't you call me please? I'm not quite dreaming

Poolside

Lyrics:

I never knew what you said to me
That made me want it all to last
Just a little bit longer
I thought I swore this off

But every time I check my phone
I see that you’re alone 
All summer, baby, I would wait
Be happy when I’m gone

Are you all I’ve wanted? 
Do you keep it all inside?
Do you need someone to save you? 
I think I do

So we wait a little while
To see what you meant
A silly face that tells me
I agree with what you said

I spent longer than a couple days
To ask the waves for help 
Couldn’t tell you why it took so long
For both of us to tell

Take a minute then
Watch me wait and look for you 
You don’t like the movies that I do
How do you live with yourself? (Baby, how do you?)

Something in the way she laughed at all that nothing
I won't be alone
Smile and fade away, this time
So now who’s the one that’s just too shy to say hello?

Are you all I’ve wanted?
Do you tremble when you think about me?
The way I do about you?

Tremble

Lyrics:

Nowhere's home, just a drink too foamy 
To feel alone, we had a bad meal at the bay
Look was in your eyes, didn't know if I should smile

If you go that way, I'll follow

To the bone, but I just keep forgetting
You're "Conner Strong", and did you lose that deck of cards?
Let's go for a ride, gonna find me in Sea Isle

Drink Too Foamy
