My Love & the Ocean
03:54

i must admit i don’t swim too well
there were a few who tried to teach me
and i don’t like when it goes over my head
i like to stay where ground can reach me
but then i met a country boy who flipped it all around
then i met a country boy who flipped it all around
oh i'm gonna move to California and i'll be with my love
the east coast raised me well
the city made me tough
oh, i'm gonna move to California and i'll be with my love
my love and the ocean
my love and the sun
my love and the ocean
i must admit i don't float too well
i always end up wide eyed, holding my breath
i found that hope can bring out the life in us
and i've found that hope can be quite dangerous
but then i met a country boy who flipped it all around
then i met a country boy who flipped it all around
CHORUS
no more late night calling
no more letters 'cross the globe
when I wake each morning, there you go
no more late night calling
no more letters 'cross the globe
when I wake each morning, there you go

Austria

i want to live in austria
i want to be in the places you love
and we'll go, oh we'll go
i want to ride on trains with you
open my eyes, see the world like you do
and i'll know, oh i'll know
when i've taken my chances, i've jumped both feet in
i've run with you, hung with you, you've been a friend
there's no fear in love so i'm ready to go
your heart's my goal
hold me like i'm new
fragile things will bruise
lean in like i'm yours, whispering words, sweetly and sure
i want to know where we belong
silence this restless heart with a song, oh
i want to forget the things i know
don't wanna be safe, i wanna be bold
i'm sold, oh i'm sold

Danger
03:55
|

|
yea i walked by the riverside
swapping tales with my blind tour guide
when he said ‘just down that road five miles is danger’
then he was gone, i was all alone
turned down boots and a dead cell phone
dark red sky, and the biting cold
i walked on to danger
the air in town is nice and sweet
the river path it ain’t the life for me
i wanna go where the life is found
even if i'm danger bound
the air in town is nice and sweet
the river path it ain’t the life for me
i wanna find what the people found
even if i’m danger bound
what i found was a run-down town
glass walled homes and a big round slab
everyone brought meat to share
everyone left burdens there

Sandpaper & Heartbreak
03:11
|
|||
|
why am i still awake? it's 4am
lying here in my bed remembering words you said
i can't sleep, i don't want to dream
you got a voice like sandpaper and heartbreak
you got the heart of an angel in good faith
you smile like a baby but you walk like a king
you got me, you got me
REPEAT
think i like everything you've ever said to me
so right now i'm scrambling, finding room to hold these things
i can't sleep, i don't want to dream

Speechless Scientist
03:35
|

|
teach me the weight, teach me the weight
of your arm draped around the nape of my chills
and please render me now a speechless scientist
teach me the shape
teach me the shape and the scope of your hand, sweet tender hand
on the small of my trust, small of my trusting you
and i find myself enraptured, cause it's just so hard to capture
the unfolding physicality of this unseen actuality
i'm warmed by your eyes, the moons to my tide
pulling me in with palpable power
and i am a wave, destined to converge on your shore
teach me the notes, teach me the notes
and the song of your voice, as it echoes amens
down the halls of my heart, long winding halls in my soul
teach me the bold, teach me the bold
of the feet of your heart, they've carried you far
and the power that you are, is matched by the power of the call
and i find myself enraptured, cause it's just so hard to capture
the unfolding physicality of this unseen actuality
CHORUS
teach me the weight, teach me the weight
of your arm draped around the nape of my chills
and please render me now a speechless scientist
