Got my life in your hands
Don't mess it up friend
Put the wheel to your chest
Suck it up, take a deep breath and begin
Take the long trip home
A little numb and broke
But I've got your love
Just kickin' it back and runnin' with it

Indebted, indebted, indebted
Indebted, indebted to you

Missed the sun go down
As the band plays to the house
Woke up early and found
Broken bottles in the bathroom

Meant to stay with her
But he didn't like that much
So we cozied up on the floor
True friends don't get so possessive

Wouldn't want to be like that
Though I know she's got my back
These things don't always last
Washing the rosy off my glasses

But I couldn't find them there
Left them on the street somewhere
Good thing you got your pair
Now we don't have to die in collision

Indebted, indebted, indebted
Indebted, indebted to you

(Indebted) Got my life in your hands
(Indebted) Don't mess it up friend
(Indebted) Put the wheel to your chest
Suck it up, take a deep breath and begin
(Indebted) Take the long trip home
(Indebted) A little numb and broke
(Indebted) But I got your love
Just kickin' it back and runnin' with it

In Debt

Take time 
Don’t want to fight
But the words you said
Somewhat unfair 
And I don’t know how
You and me, my friend
Can start again
Can start again

Or that’s how
It always seemed
When the blood spilled out
One moment, the next
It would all cool down
You and me, my friend
Seemed always better
With than without

Drains fast
Rushing like water
Through your hands
Threatening to rip us off
From the banks
Where nothing grows
And all your faith
Is all that floats

Oh well
Nothing could stop us
From spilling out
All of our guts 
Into something now
You and me, my friend
We’ve had our go
You know?

And that’s alright
And that’s alright
And always was
And always was
And always was
And always was
And always was
And always was
And always was
And always was

And that’s alright
And that’s alright
And always was
And that’s alright
And that’s alright
And always was
And that’s alright

All Cools Down

I saw it clear as I'd hoped
After all these years
You'd say photographs
Leave nothing to talk about
Why stay holding on
If it's all been kept?

Oh, I remember it
So much better now
That I've got nothing to prove
I was there
I was there

You always could
Pull faces right out of the rocks
You'd fill up your phone
With ordinary empty coast
Never needed to show
That you were there

How you'd erase yourself
And I remember it better now
'Cause we had nothing to prove
We were there

I Was There

Tried to get away from there
Late enough the coast was clear
We'll go on living
We'll go on living

Can't escape the latest trend
Or friends who find a second wind
They'll go on living
They'll go on living

Take your time (as if I saw)
What's the rush? (it cross your mind)
Make our exit

Come to me so comfortably
Ex-extravert social fatigue
We'll go on living
Quietly quitting

Take your time (as if I saw)
What's the rush? (it cross your mind)
Like before (we're past the point to)
Make our exit

Morning Air

We were turning into old
Versions of ourselves
If it were only up to me
I’d get used to no one else
We were walking out on ice
Anybody’s guess
Shot the coast in black and white
Know I said I meant to

Change the film
Nothing to show for
How you felt
Sun off your shoulder

Feeling like we’re seventeen
Back where we grew up
So imperfect, in between
Probably my fault
There are days that throw us off
Haven’t read all year
Hard to finish what we start
Been too close to see it clear

And I know what you would say
And I know what you would say

Change the film
Nothing to show for
How you felt
Sun off your shoulder

And I know what you would say
And I know what you would say

Lyrics

Hold me like you want to and you need it
Then I’ll feel right at home
Come on closer
It’s fucking freezing
Cause the doors aren’t all closed
It’s the season for that feeling
So please put down your phone

Hold me like you need it and you want to
Go on throw me a bone
There’s no reason for concealing
All your thoughts big or small
I’m here and I’m not leaving
So try tear down those walls
I’m here
There’s that feeling

Bathing in the sunlight when it’s colder
Than the worst day of June
Is the healing is that I’m seeking
And I’m long overdue
Do you see it
There’s that feeling
It’s all you need to know
Do you feel it
You’re my heating

It’s the season
I’m not leaving
This time

Give me a moment to cherish with all that I am
And a little bit more
And I’ll give you a lifetime of moments with all that I can
It’s all I ask for

It’s the season
I’m not leaving
It’s season
I’m not leaving
This time

Like you want to
Go on throw me a bone
It’s the season
So please put down your phone
Like you want to
Then I’ll feel right at home
Then I’ll seek right at home

All At Once

Altai - Like You Need It

Lyrics

幸せから目を逸らさないで 
「またね」ってgood bye 鈍色のメッセージ 
ほどけ始めた糸は何処へゆく 
はぐれぐもみたいだ あぁ

失ってまた出会うこの感情 
不器用なまま つま先で立ってる
風を受け靡く帆を上げてゆく 
暗闇飾るようなstar

I still don’t know how  
Wonderful tomorrow will be now

Is anyone there? Hey hello 
Are you there? Sorrow  
Am I all alone? Shadow 
Can you hear this song

東の空始まりを待ってる
たぶん今日も無数のハッピーバースデー
朝焼けに抱かれながら溶けてゆく
昨日までの僕らが あぁ

Is anyone there? Hey hello 
Are you there? Sorrow  
Am I all alone? Shadow 
Can you hear this song

I am here you know? Hello 
Always by your side
You are not alone you know? 
I can hear your song 

僕らにそっと光る朝を
特別な今日の日を

Is anyone there? Hey hello 
Are you there? Sorrow  
Am I all alone? Shadow 
Can you hear this song
I am here you know? Hello 
Always by your side
You are not alone you know? 
I can hear your song

birthday

Lyrics

You cared for me
You made me feel special
When a soft wind blows through you 
Know that it’s me

So please wipe away your tears
映画のように
May everything go well
記憶の輝きは 
ここにあるよ
I love you forever 
カタチはなくても  
I'll be there for you  
With love

あなたがくれたもの 
夕映えに染まる鼓動
So please wipe away your tears 
眩しいほど 
May everything go well 
笑っていてほしい  
ただあなたに 
I'll be there for you  
その心の中にいるから

There's more to the story, just like in that movie  
This is not the end for your story 
悲しみの雨が虹に変わる頃
ハレルヤ ハレルヤ La la la
ハレルヤ ハレルヤ La la la
瞳の奥花は芽吹くよ 
燦々とYour Life

LUCA

Lyrics

Hey
Where are you 
I heard a voice

Flowers swaying in the dry air fills this room 
I'm not afraid anything anymore
Cause I'm holding hand
With you inside of me

You see
I think about me
I promise
I will answer the voice of my heart I Finally realized
You were always by my side
But I’m sorry for ignoring you

Lyrics

There’s a time you’ll be alone  
My love, it’ll be alright                               
You find your needing home 
Sometimes                                                                                                                                     
And you’re trying to hold your own
My love, It’ll be alright                                                                   
There’s a kindness in the air, tonight                    
The summers been and gone                                 
It’ll be alright                                                                         
There’s a warm breeze coming round 

In time  
It’ll be alright 

This is what it feels like 
To fall apart 
Remember what it looks like 
To loose your heart 
This is what it feel like 
To fall apart 
Remember the words and let them sway 
Today 

Look at round and everyone is out of sight 
It’ll be alright 
Inhale the stillness of the night 
And you’re tired of grieving your old life 
It’ll be alright 
The signs of healing will take flight 

Tryna find the silver lining 
Is as hard as it may feel 
Every time you loose your mind 

This is what it feels like 
To fall apart 
Remember what it looks like 
To loose your heart 
This is what it feel like 
To fall apart 
Remember the words and let them sway 
Today

Altai - On Your Own

Lyrics

Girl do you remember
Time spent together
Do you recall
The way it felt to fall

So I’ll take my time
I’ll find the rocks that we would climb
And I should’ve known better
Yeah I should’ve known better

Oh sooner or later
You’re gonna find out
What you came for
When the time’s right

So I’ll take my time
I’ll find the rocks that we would climb
And I should’ve known better
Yeah I should’ve known better
