Lyrics:

Drivin' down a desolate town with the sunlight in your head
Sure don't mind that you're still around to get me out of bed
I'm taking the time to leave it behind
The road is long but it's easy to find for you

Packed the bags and back to the place where it's gonna stay
Far from the tide, the bridge and the smile of the San Francisco Bay
I don't mind the wind, the heat or the snow
As long as we're two and there's somewhere to go with you


Chorus:
Flying high but never going too slow
Drifting by the vain and the hollow
Wave goodbye for now and the morrow
For you and I just ain't the ones to follow

Looking in through all the dim grey smoke within your eyes
Don't get mad, it's not too bad at least for a few tries
Bound to crash, to dash or to blow
But it's only a flash to come before we go

Foud the spot where all is crossed, the grin beneath the smile
Stopped and stared for all I cared, just a little while
It might not be just what you thought
The love that you took was the one that I got to show

Chorus



The Ones To Follow

A Walk

Lyrics:

She said I need some motion
I gotta free myself from all that I feel inside
My heart is an ocean babe
Don't mess around with me if you can't face the tide

I said why the commotion
You know I try so hard to face the fear and let it slide
But you better take caution
For if you go to sea, you'll leave your love behind

Chorus:
Motion, you gotta give it to me
Ain't no magic potion to start a fire
Just a simple notion, you gotta listen to me now

Pay some attention now
To all the many waves that make our spirits float
What a connection babe
I'd like to think the same but it's a lonely boat

So without hesitation, we flew into the clouds where dirty thoughts run wild
No conversation oh, it's hard to keep track when my hands are tied

Chorus

Motion

Lyrics:

You know we have the best time when
We drop it all and stay inside cause
Inside the mind can breathe
And all the feels they come to me and I
Debrief on a long ass day
As the smoke takes me away and I
Let go of the things they said
For you are here and we’re in bed

Where the world just fades away
Death and pain, they evaporate and
You and I can truly be
Still together as billions bleed
Too far from the eye to see unless it
Starts to pop up on a screen and
You feel concern, you think it’s wrong
But life’s gotta keep moving on

Chorus:
And it’s too bad that you’re not impressed
Even though I tried my best
Guess I’m not deserving of you
This game is in my best interest
Gotta scan me until I pass the test
Come down from the condescending view

And I really like your company
Wish that I brought my CV
But life is sometimes so fast-paced
You can’t seem to find the time or place to
Sit there eye to eye
Get to know you for a while
Tell me about what you love
Is there a light that shines above

Chorus

Got a scared look on my face
And I don’t feel at ease
Get me the hell out of here
But you don’t seem to mind
The blood that’s dripping from my ear
Keep me on file for next year
