Just Right (free) 03:40
This time I’m done / I’m done for good / impossible to care less about the way you looked at her / I can't believe I’m saying this / I don't want it to be true / but every time I close my eyes all I can see is you / and they all say that I should just move on / and I can honestly say that I’ve tried, I’ve tried / but this one loved his money / and that one was too wild / the other one didn't love me, he loved love / and that one wasn't staying / the other one didn't smile enough / but baby, o baby you're just right / this song's the last you'll ever get / impossible to give more than I already have / I can't believe I’m saying this / I don't want it to be true / but every time I close my eyes all I can see is you / and they all say that I should just move on / and I can honestly say that I’ve tried, I’ve tried / but this one loved his money / and that one was too wild / the other one didn't love me, he loved love / and that one wasn't staying / the other one didn't smile enough / but baby, o baby you're just right / I’m missing you (3x) / they all say that I should just move on / and I can honestly say that I’ve tried, I’ve tried / but this one loved his money / and that one was too wild / and the other one didn't love me, he loved love / that one wasn't staying / the other one didn't smile enough / but baby, o baby you're just right (3x)

I've met strangers, that felt nearer baby than you / empty phrases, on blank pages mean more than we do now / I've read make-believe, that felt more real baby than this / you were here, and you wrote all over me (2x) / there's no outlaw, that's more wanted baby than you / there's no reason, for me feeling the way that I do right now / when I think about, all the mayhem you put me through / you were here, and you wrote all over me (2x) / there's no outlaw, that's more wanted baby than you / there's no reason, for me feeling the way that I do right now / when I think about, all the mayhem you put me through / you were here, and you wrote all over me (2x) / on my arms with your warm / on my heart with your cold / on my brain with your words / from my mouth flow these songs / on my now with our then / on my sleeve with your soul / you were here, and you wrote all over me (2x)

Scattered 04:15
One's in the city, feeding the poor / one went to Hong Kong, to find some work / just like the thick air of summer days / isolation starts to weigh / one bought a ticket, he'll take the train / one's watching children, the rich will pay / and on the way, they're counting days and sweat-drenched months / if who I am is something like a piece of each of you, you've scattered me, all across the world (2x) / so I'll spread out a blanket across my heart / look in the mirror, and start to smile / cook favorite dinners and sip tea slow / we'll be back before you know / not good with calling, it's just my way / so I'll just sit here, and strum for days / but I'll get nowhere, except the notes that sound like you / if who I am is something like a piece of each of you, you've scattered me, all across the world (4x)
4.
I imagine you and me / breaking loose and fancy free / running barefoot through the streets / all the people stop to see / we're swallowed up by great big life / a shuffle playlist / that sounds right / got no idea what's coming next / just hold my hand / we'll make the best of it / no matter what / just hold my hand / we'll make the best / we'll make the best of it, it / oh, oh, oh / I imagine summer nights / out in a field no city lights / we say cliché things about stars / you show me all your battle scars / you say I get three wishes now / don't wish for money, wish for power / the power to give and give and give / and never feel you've reached the end of it / the end of it / and never feel you've reached the end / you've reached the end, of it, it /oh, oh, oh / imagine life lived by a constitution / written in the sand / with bare toes and hands / this is the way we live / relentless like the ocean waves / and this is the way we love / relentless like the ocean waves / and this is the way we love / and this is the way we love / relentless like the ocean waves / the waves / oh, oh, oh

Boy I love you like a Thursday night / like a clock loves time / you embrace all of my ticks / boy I love you like my favorite book / when I see that look / I could read you all over again / and we'll learn boy, what it means to be here / and we'll live the answer to our Why / boy I love you like (2x) / boy I love you like this / boy I love you like (2x) / boy I love you like this / boy I love you like a scarf loves necks / I'll be Posh, you're Becks, lets leave London / boy I love you like an awkward pause / I don’t mind I'm lost in the silence / and we'll learn boy, what it means to be here / and we'll live the answer to our Why / boy I love you like (2x) / boy I love you like this / boy I love you like (2x) / boy I love you like this / I love you like a day / I love you like the time / I love you like a book / I love you like you're mine / I love you like a scarf, most likely loves a neck / I love you like I'm sure, Posh loves her Beckbeckbeckbeckbeckbeckbeckbeck / boy I love you like (2x) / boy I love you like this / boy I love you like (2x) / boy I love you like this / boy I love you like / boy I love you like this

First of all / this song's not about you / it's about somebody else / and another thing / I’m thriving without you / oh yes / you're so uncomplicated / it really makes me crazy / see I’m a tangled mess of wire / and you're a simple straight blue line / and I just can't move along now / cause I know you're my tomorrow / and I just can't stand here either / hoping you'll turn on the light / and I just can't wait here either / hating you for being bright, bright / I un-reversed your minute ago / it's too late to pack / you called it the Door of No Return / well I’m back! / you're so uncomplicated / it really makes me crazy / see I’m a tangled mess of wire / and you're a simple straight blue line / and I just can't move along now / cause I know you're my tomorrow / and I just can't stand here either / hoping you'll turn on the light / and I just can't wait here either / hating you for being bright, bright / you're so uncomplicated / it really makes me crazy / see I’m a tangled mess of wire / and you're a simple straight blue line / and I just can't move along now / cause I know you're my tomorrow / and I just can't stand here either / hoping you'll turn on the light / and I just can't wait here either / hating you for being bright, bright
7.
You're a flower pressed between / pages, pages that they forgot all about / pressure brings longevity, they said right to your face / but now you're so dry you could scream / how does it feel to be right in the middle? / you planted the seed and all you see is dirt / we've been in this horse for days / hiding, waiting tonight we'll bust through the gates / let the reinforcements in / our hearts beat the countdown / tonight the battle begins / how does it feel to be right in the middle? / you planted the seed and all you see is dirt / wait (repeat) / waiting (repeat) / how does it feel to be right in the middle? / you planted the seed and all you see is dirt (2x)

The leaves aren't the only things that change / we all stand in constant transition / my knees aren't the only things that shake / we all fake like we're stable on our own / a heart's not the only thing that loves / use your smile, use your coat and use your food / so we stand and wait for the only thing to come / while a million other beautiful things have come and gone / and we kneel and pray for the only thing to last / while a million other beautiful things have come to pass (2x) / a wing's not the only thing that flies / so does time, but only after you've used it / a voice is not the only thing to hear / hear the eyes firmly fixed down on the ground / a song's not the only thing you sing / sing your steps, sing your work and sing your peace / so we stand and wait for the only thing to come / while a million other beautiful things have come and gone / and we kneel and pray for the only thing to last / while a million other beautiful things have come to pass (2x)
9.
I had a dream / we had a family / we had a house / we both had cars / and we had jobs / and we had treasure / measured wealth with intangible rods / I had a pen / you were a story / that I could write / the world would read / and it would fix you / and it would lift you back to glory and out of the streets / I had a pen / you were a story / that I could write / the world would read / and it would fix you / and it would lift you back to glory and out of the
10.
Running and searching, to find the one / where do you meet for the journey to come? / the time's ticking down now, you're reading the signs / grab all your baggage / get ready to fly / and you lose all your defenses / trying to find all of the signs / and you wrestle with contentment / struggle to wait, and pretend that you're fine / driving back home now with all of your things / see when you got there, you were watching it leave / your heart drops to your knees now / how could this go down!? / you missed your connection and are stuck on the ground / and you lose all your defenses / trying to find all of the signs / and you wrestle with contentment / struggle to wait, and pretend that you're fine / although it's over / that ship's already sailed / you can't help but wonder / ask 'why didn't they care?' / your heart drops to your knees now / how could this go down!? / you missed your connection and are stuck on the ground / and you lose all your defenses / trying to find all of the signs / and you wrestle with contentment / struggle to wait, and pretend that you're fine.

Watch Us Go 04:09
Painted house / fragile people / cut in shapes that we've seen before / painted house / fragile people / cut in shapes that we've seen before / what do you mean by reality? / and what do you mean by show? / this comedy feels like a tragedy / wind us up / box us in / watch us go / watch us go / pack your bags / leave real life / to find your fame, find your money, find true love / pack your bags / leave real life / to find your fame, find your money, find true love / what do we mean by reality? / what do we mean by show? / this comedy feels like a tragedy / wind us up / box us in / watch us go
