Don’t look back
Don’t regret the past
If on this you dwell
No, your ship won’t sail
And if you look ahead
You may fill with dread
Quit peering over the fence
And embrace the present tense
Drowning in a sea of information
Frowning on an endless vacation
Bedrock and paradox
No the desert heat it don’t stop
Till the nightfall
Sitting in silence
I’m less prone to violence
Focus your trip
And disregard the mileage
Listen to the words
The words of the birds
They speak a universal language
That in time can be understood
Drowning in a sea of information
Frowning on an endless vacation
Bedrock and paradox
No the desert heat it don’t stop
Till the nightfall
Drowning
Frowning
Bedrock and paradox
No the desert heat it don’t stop
Till the nightfall

Rise, up and on your way
Just another day, they say
Still, cannot help but feel
There’s something yet
To be revealed
Everybody needs
To take a little time
From everything we do
To satisfy our mind
Ease up on yourself
Relax into the night
Don’t worry about a thing
Let it go
Give it room to grow
We’re alright
Really can’t complain
Downtown in the rain
Don’t matter
Between hate and love
We choose the latter
Tonight
We will spend it right
Don’t care if I dance till the light
Of the Sun
Memories made
That will stay with us
All of our days
I can’t wait
Celebrate
Friends are here
It’s all clear
Why?

It’s funny how we go on just as believers
When this crazy old thing called love goes and leaves us
I’ve been waiting on a golden dream to make me feel better
But it just seems like there is no way to recover
Its funny how we pick our minds just to make reason
Because the unexplained must be contained lest it defeat us
And I’m sick of wasting time on painful memories
We want to move on but can we forget what we’ve seen
Leftover to wonder, where’d you go
I’m infatuated with the hope that it all will return
Feeling lost at these crossroads, for answers I yearn
A blink in time, confusion, sublime
A loss so sudden it scared our mind
Leaving us all alone
Waiting to unfold
Though I don’t know where you are, I wish you well
My corrected perception shines through this cloak and veil
Can’t seem to ease or appease my mind, truth un-forgot
And all we have left on earth is what we’ve been taught
It’s funny how we go on just as believers
When the mirror falls and cracks how will we perceive us
I’m sick of tormenting myself with all this pain
Deep down there is no return simple and plain
Leftover to wander, where to go

Once upon a time, in a little town by the ocean
I watched reflections of the stars dance off the waves
As I sat alone, my mind unhitched
Was such a sight, had me transfixed
That I almost missed the greatest thing to ever step right into my life
But none of this is news to you
You’ve all heard this before
No chance to regret
Drifting from that shore
The are things I can’t forget no matter how hard I try
I cast my insecurities adrift into the night
Don’t you underestimate the weight of a single lie
Left to contemplate the view, alone and tired eyed
You took me by the hand and sowed our secrets to the land
If I had know what I know now I’d surely laugh out loud
A fool indeed was me, I drowned amidst your company
Swiftly sinking setting sun, why must we always run from love?
What I would give to see you face once more
To sit aside the sea with whom I adore
What I would give to see you face once more
To sit aside the sea with whom I adore
How did I come to be an adversary
How did I come to be an adversary
I don’t want to believe that we had it all
I don’t want to believe that we had it all
We had it all
We had it all
Never in my life have I witnessed such a sight
Took me by surprise obscuring wrong from right
Looked into the light, blinded by spite
If only I could get a second try

Cherish

Breathe and unfold
Past the point of needing to hold
Tight to the wings of distancing dreams
Clarity brings new life it seems
To reflections of old
So release hold, release the soul
Take heart in knowing that which was whole
Captured like photographs
Memories always last
No matter what you hear
Keep one thing clear
You cherish the moment
Before its gone
Plot the ink
To the face of this scripture
Emotion easily held
In the borders of a picture
Connections to another
Holding to a lover
For a grain in time
Though we’re far past the cover
Of ever reversing our minds
And now it’s gone
Still we move on
Appreciative of what never felt wrong
Loosen the strings that held me so long
No matter what you hear
Keep one thing clear
You cherish the moment
Before its gone
Cause there was a time
When I called you mine
I cherish the moment
Before its gone
I cherish the moment
Forever on
So who says we’re guaranteed
To lives of simplicity
Things always change
But these memories remain
Cause who says we’re guaranteed
To pain above everything
Things always change
But love stays the same
