Lyrics:

In the Pacific sky
the jet planes seem to fly in the formation
of a compass that only points to you
No matter what the distance
hours don't mean coincidence
they're just reminders
that love doesn't always fit between the lines

With no hesitation
pack your bags and see the places
that were only pinpoints on a map yesterday
take time and recognize
the wonder that surrounds you
there's fragments of eternity
in everything you see

The time is now
we're not getting any younger
just a little closer to the ground
If gravity releases, then here's what we'll do
we'll take an adventure to the moon

So for now I leave with you
my humblest of goodbyes
pretend like it's a flower
in the color of your eyes
Take care and don't forget me
I'll try my best to write you every day
maybe when Spring comes again, I'll meet you halfway.

Between The Lines

Lyrics:

Step into the firefight
where all the lines in the sand are washed away
(washed away)
the greatest weapon that you have here
is penitence of words
(if you only heard)

Tighten up the hatches now
there's no time to be afraid
all the worries that you have
they belong to yesterday
inhibitions make the white seem a little grey
sometimes the best thing to do it look the other way

There's a war being fought for your piece of mind
all the armies of the enemy see your heart as the prize
but they know you control the battle field
so all that they're waiting for
is for you to pick a side

The casualties are growing steadily
you might have to retreat
someone has to lose it all
and accept defeat
(accept defeat)

Firefight

Lyrics:

Sometimes we seem to be blown away
catching the breeze in the wrong direction
but no matter the destination
we're glad to be free
here in our hot air balloon

Grab a handful of the sunburst in the clouds
photograph this beauty surrounding us
that goes on and on and on
it's heaven in our midst
here in our hot air balloon

Settle down in the moment
let all your dreams for the future resurface
how many chances have to make it
before you can afford it
celebrate life in the boldest of ways
celebrate life in the boldest of ways

Seasons change
but the journey remains
sky blue to the end
although Summer looks the best on you
with the wind in your hair
here in our hot air balloon

Some people think we're crazy
and maybe they're right
but where's the use in living gently
when we all end up looking to the sky
eventually

Now that we've touched down
and our time's come to an end
hold tight to the memories
and never forget
it's almost like a dream
oh, so sweet
there in our hot air balloon
there in our hot air balloon
there in our hot air balloon...

Hot Air Balloons

Lyrics:

What would you say
what would you do
if wasting time
could reignite
something you'd lost
to hold it again
a love to create
what's not been done

Colorful musings
were always your thing
countless arrangements
of all that was interesting
intricate lines in the world intersect
you're bound to find art in the obvious

How many puzzle pieces
go missing before completion
is there room for mistake
if the chalk dust on the stars
seem to call out your name
the how could you do anything else
than create

Actively take
the road with no signs
plot your own course
leave worry behind
marvel at mystery
question yourself
is this truly all that's left

Look for the beauty
in the sunset
remember the moments
you often forget
live for the light
it's not to late
let go of yourself
and don't be afraid

Art in the Obvious

Lyrics:

Is anybody out there
anyone at all
darkness surrounds me
and the only light I have is a memory
time tells by the seconds
and it never seems to stop
but if I only have this moment

I don't wanna be anything less than human
all this time and space has gone to my head
loneliness has spoken
and it's words are like the sun
it's a solar reminder that life isn't meant to be lived alone

Was any of it my fault
could it have been stopped
if only we could have seen the signs
then maybe I could have a chance
to reconcile my wrongs
everybody's got their secrets
but mine are safe with the moon
and if I only have this moment

Only ashes remain to tell the story
atmospheric tombstones glow in the night
hold the sunrise in your mind
don't lose sight of daylight

Human

Lyrics:

Hey there how are you doing
I like the dress you wear
it reminds me of a summer suit that I once had
the polkadots fit you nicely
they almost seem to say
carry on, I hope you have a wonderful day

If the world turned a little slower
then would you take a chance on me
c'mon now

Oh, my darlin', oh, my dear
even in darkness it has never been so clear
I just wanna be with you
even for a day

How is the weather where you're from
does sunshine come your way
I bet it follows you around wherever you go
what color flower's your favorite
re, purple, pink, or blue
no matter whatcha say
mine's that one too

Oh, My Darlin'

Lyrics:

If all the diamonds in the world lost their shine
would any girls still wear them on their fingers?
if all the polar ice caps melted
would penguins enjoy their bigger pools?
I bet they would

If old Benjamin Franklin were alive today
would he have an Android or an iPhone?
If politics were like a trading card game
would the world have a little more fun?

Some people insist on crashing parties
they're stuck in their ways
but if they came together
in a room with some helium
I'll try not to laugh when I hear them say

"Young man, you're rather silly
you've got your life ahead of you
pick yourself a university
and get yourself a PhD
instead of writing songs and poetry
move along and find a girl
or die alone
just get the hell outta here"

If machine guns shot bananas
would monkey soldiers go to war?
If motorcycles sounded like toy cars
would biker gangs still be a thing?

If you wore an anaconda as a scarf
would you be a lunatic or the cover of GQ?
If the world's supply of gummy bears took over
would you be an assassin or a cannibal?
If tranquilizer darts were filled with caffeine
would espresso shots be a bit too punny?
If procrastination ceased to exist
would I still be late and have to hurry?
