Let's Talk 04:29

Dreaming of the ocean, the sun, and the breeze Trying to find my legs to climb this mountain between Maybe the icy air awakens something in me Carries me elsewhere till I find my feet Drifting in circles, lost in my head Can't run away from the dumb shit I said I just want a future to fix what I did I can live in the present when I'm not on the edge Talk to me baby Don't wait until there's no chance at all I want to get better, I'm working real hard Let's work this together, your flaws are my flaws Don't give up forever, just give me a call Tell me we'll talk Searching for pieces Telling the story back to myself I understand your reasons, I just needed help This feelings not fleeing, it's just on the shelf What you are seeking, it's still in our cards Call me, let's talk Slashing and burning in hopes I'll forget I don't think I deserve to be this upset Our state wasn't typical or permanent Why don't you want to see what the new normal is I made my mistakes now can I find my truce If feelings can change then why can't I too And I want to change for you Talk to me baby Don't wait till there's just no chance at all I'm trying to get better, I rise and I fall Let's fall down together, your flaws are my flaws Don't give up forever, just give me a call Tell me we'll talk Searching for pieces Telling the story back to myself I understand your reasons, I just needed help This feelings not fleeing, it's just on the shelf We need some healing, but it's still in our cards Call me, let's talk

Waves 03:37
lyrics

Drained, creatively Age, outpacing me Cracked, missing a piece Days after the peak Wait, it's a future you can control Just trust the ebbs follow with flows No, race, and run yourself into the ground Where there's always room to go down No one has got to believe me I'll sink down under the sea And watch the stars on the surface At heights that I'll never reach Nothing changes, nothing's new There's nothing to discover Nothing to do I'm living underwater with the unknown The only place where I feel I can grow So what's the point of trying something new When the future's written over by history's news To be continued To be continued To be continued To be continued Wait, it's a future you can control Just trust the ebbs follow with flows No, race, and run yourself into the ground Where there's always room to go down

Everglades (Voice Memo) 01:39
lyrics
buy track
Down in the swamps of Florida Floating around like a speck of dust Don't quite know how I wound up here Frozen in time like a startled deer I pushed, and I pushed, and I pushed too far Had no breaks like a tampered car I broke, and I broke, and I broke real bad Broke the best things I ever had Damn it I should know where I should go from here But I'm frozen in time wish I could disappear Falling behind while I wonder if This life has any wonder left Oh just give me a breath A space in my chest A chance for what's next A hopefulness Pass me on this patch in the sea of grass Certified swamp boy, American trash Some day I'll find my way back to start Back from the Everglades, Florida

Is It Okay to Feel Good 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Gonna get up this morning Heard a rumor the sun still shined Got that funny ol' feeling Gonna ride it like it's the last time Got a bounce to my step One step in the right direction Feeling lighter than air Is this real or just a vision Feeling better than I should Is it okay to feel good Didn't know if I still could Cuz it's been a while Can I steal your smile It's all the talking heads and liars All the toxic air and fires But when I look into your eyes It all melts away You make it all okay Not asking for much I just want it to level out I don't even need up I just want it to stop going down How's the world still turning When you still got me stuck in space Gonna get up this morning And make my way right back to your place Feeling better than I should Is it okay to feel good Didn't know if I still could Cuz it's been a while Did I steal your smile From all the toxic air and fires From all the broken dreams I'm tired But when I look into your eyes It all melts away You make it all okay It all melts away You make it all okay All okay

Brand New 04:27
lyrics

Time's taking the winding way home Love's making a fool of us both I tried taking the shortcut back to Earth But love don't come when the last one still hurts I want to feel brand new I don't want the past I'm used to What do I have to prove To prove I'm not the person you knew Where do the mountains end And the clouds begin In the middle of the night It's all the treacherous sky And in that cold, cold night The ghosts come to life How do you fight back When the dreams and the memories start to attack Oh I, I want to feel brand new And if this sky can turn blue Maybe I can too And when you think you've had enough And watch the door slam shut Don't take life for a rut Don't take life for a rut And when the fire turns you to dust And when the dreams go bust Don't ever give up Don't ever give up I know, one day, something good can happen And I'm gonna wait for it Have I paid my dues Have I learned what I needed to Does life have redos Does life still have you I know, one day, something good can happen And I'm gonna stay for it
