Let's kick-off the summer together. This song is about finding solace in a tropical paradise, where the beauty of nature becomes a balm for my wounded heart. The lyrics are a sensory journey, painting a picture of the sights, sounds, and feelings of being in a place that's both calming and wild. For me, it's about escaping the pain and chaos of reality and finding a sense of peace and freedom in the natural world. The song is a reflection on the healing power of nature, and how it can lift your spirits and soothe your soul. It's a dreamy, ethereal escape, where the colors are bright, and the heart can begin to heal.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Sunrise whispers in the palm trees
Warm breeze tangled in my hair
Footprints fading in the wet sand
Silent echoes fill the air 

[Verse 2]
Shells and driftwood sing their secrets
Coconut trees swaying wild
Moonlit waves that dance forever
Lost but here like a dreaming child 

[Chorus]
In this paradise I'm drifting
Colors bright I can't deny
Every shade my wounded heart lifts
Beneath the vast tropical sky 

[Verse 3]
Thunder calls from distant mountains
Storms that kiss the endless sea
Nature’s wrath yet oh so tender
Holding whispers meant for me 

[Chorus]
In this paradise I'm drifting
Colors bright I can't deny
Every shade my wounded heart lifts
Beneath the vast tropical sky 

[Outro]
Nightfall with a thousand stories
Stars that sing my quiet dreams
In the shadows whispers beckon
Nothing’s ever what it seems

LYRICS

Cold and angry
You thought you had me
Kinda blew it
Knew you could do it

Well we will wait and see
What can you do for me
It's looking kinda bleak
Oh it's been quite a week

It's like I never even knew you
It's like I've never even seen you
At this point what can we do
I've had enough

Kinda lonely
You thought you sold me
On the idea
Of this new media

But you have got it wrong
Now you don't look as strong
Don't take it personally
But this is certain you see 

It's like I never even knew you
It's like I've never even seen you
At this point what can we do
I've had enough

It's like I never even knew you
It's like I've never even seen you
At this point what can we do
I've had enough

I didn't know you were so impossible
I always thought you were very predictable
No one I fear will I allow to come near
I didn't know but I've learned that's just how it goes

Cold and angry
You thought you had me
Kinda blew it
Knew you could do it

Well we will wait and see
What can you do for me
It's looking kinda bleak
Oh it's been quite a week

It's like I never even knew you
It's like I've never even seen you
At this point what can we do
I've had enough

It's like I never even knew you
It's like I've never even seen you
At this point what can we do
I've had enough

Never Even Knew You

WAITING TO LIVE
If only you could get good grades
Get a car, maybe get laid
If only you could get a good job
If only you believed in God
Bleeding quietly inside
Dyin’ to enjoy the ride
Taken for a sad-sucker
More downers than there’s uppers

CHORUS
Waiting, waiting to live
Given it all you got to give
Your ship is long overdue
This world by design devours you

The truth, can’t make heads or tails
No wind enters your sails
Empty bed for an easy-chair
And the weather is never fair
Bleeding quietly inside
Wishin’ to step off the ride
Taken for a sad-sucker
Singin’ for so little supper

CHORUS
Waiting, waiting to live
Given it all you got to give
Your ship is long overdue
This world by design devours you

Whoa-whoa, Whoa-whoa

Golden years is a mockery
Sweat on your brow a travesty
Your own face you don’t recognize
Your heart and soul pulverized
Bleeding quietly inside
Ridin’, you’re just ridin’ the tide
Taken for a sad-sucker
Can’t blame it on your dead mother

CHORUS
Waiting, waiting to live
Given it all you got to give
Your ship is long overdue
This world by design devours you

Whoa-whoa, Whoa-whoa

If only you could get good grades
Get a car, maybe get laid
If only you could get a good job
If only you believed in God
Bleeding quietly inside
Dyin’ to enjoy the ride
So says the sad trucker
This life is a, a mother-f*cker

CHORUS
Waiting, waiting to live
Given it all you got to give
Your ship is long overdue
But this world by design devours you…devours you, whoa
