Indie Pop Rock 


[Verse 1]
Ohio whispers in my ear so slow
A landlocked dream where rivers glow
Cornfields stretch like time on repeat
Every step feels like a backward beat

[Prechorus]
Is this a map or a magic trick
Are we lost or just homesick

[Chorus]
Ohio oh why oh why
Do the skies twist like tie-dye
Ohio oh why oh why
You’re the riddle I can’t untie

[Verse 2]
Gas station coffee tastes like regret
A thousand miles and I’m not there yet
The wind hums tunes from 1982
Backward guitar plays a déjà vu

[Prechorus]
Are these roads or endless loops
Is it freedom or a tethered truth

[Chorus]
Ohio oh why oh why
Do your highways sigh and sigh
Ohio oh why oh why
Your horizon’s a crooked lullaby

Ohio

Oh you're always so patient with me
Every single time
I know I get carried away so easily
So anxious and wound up 
Stress myself out all the time
So full of resentment for things so far out of my life

And now I know love
That I've been taking you for granted
I'll never leave ya
Now it's you who's needing me instead
And now I know love
That I've been taking you for granted
I'll never leave ya
Now it's you who's needing me instead

You like a ship on the sea
Moving so fast
Not getting any closer to me
I know it gets heavy
Saving me all of the time 
Now the waves at your shoulders
I wanna be with you this time

And now I know love
That I've been taking you for granted
I'll never leave ya
Now it's you who's needing me instead
And now I know love
That I've been taking you for granted
I'll never leave ya
Now it's you who's needing me instead
Instead

Needing me instead

And now I know love
That I've been taking you for granted
I'll never leave ya
Now it's you who's needing me instead
Yeah now I know love
That I've been taking you for granted
I'll never leave ya
Now it's you who's needing me instead

For Granted

Time To Weigh In

Prove It

show me where the future lies
barely undone or buried alive
we’re playing with a loaded die
further to run or further to rise

sing me to sleep
like a lullabye
pull me like a wave like a wave
down into the night
send me down to the deep
send me into time
spun into a dream, in a dream
till i'm hypnotized

long for the days
back when we were wild
while we dig a grave, for the ways
that we left behind
you said you are who you are
tell me who am i
can we find a way, find a way
to peace of mind 

show me where the future lies
barely undone or buried alive
we’re playing with a loaded die
further to run or further to rise

stay with me now
take me by the hand
tell me there’s a way, there’s a way
we can live again
i'm falling into the past
come and fall with me
i can’t look ahead, to the end
of our history 

long for the days
back when we were wild
while we dig a grave, for the ones
that we left behind
you said you are who you are
tell me who am i
can we find a way, find a way
to peace of mind 

show me where the future lies
barely undone or buried alive
we’re playing with a loaded die
further to run or further to rise

if it comes to pass
will you cover my eyes and take my hand
if the world ends 
will you cover my eyes and take my hand

show me where the future lies
barely undone or buried alive
we’re playing with a loaded die
further to run or further to rise

Buried Alive

California sun
(R. Jacques, J. Holiday)

You and I 
On a nowhere drive
Close your eyes
Let it take us there
Through the songs we know
To the great unknown

Take a dive
Through the open sky
Ocean size
I feel it in my bones 
Leave the past behind
Leave everything we know

When the California sun
Gets in your eyes
It makes you (wanna cry/feel alive)
When it reminds you 
Of the place you wanna go
(That) You've never really known
Wouldn't it be nice 

Where you're from
You gotta leave it there
We're Always young
A certain savoir faire
We're old enough to know
We don't know what we know

Made a joke
"It's all a laugh" you said
We're never here
We're always in our beds
Sleeping peacefully
While the world spins on

Ooh
Let the world spin on

California Sun
