Moonglade 04:34
Let the sun go around Just a few more times While we figure out the habitat Of heart and divine Ten thousand miles we rode While the rhythm of this river Runs faster than we’ve ever known And so we roam (roam roam roam) And I’ve got a place in mind That can’t be seen in any city It’s like nothing we’ve found Where I picture you by my side At a moonglade on the lake Well ‘til then we’ll roam Roam roam roam You are you are my salvation You are pulling me forward Betcha never really thought Betcha never really thought The path would us here (You’re no longer) Betcha never really thought Betcha never really thought We’d end up this far north You’re no longer You’re no longer home You no longer roam
2.
Mood 04:37
Craggy coastlines in my head Pull me out of the cityscape This passage of time Skips over my mind Bet you’ve known this placid state Nearby long grass and calm lakes Have you kept out the plastic waste Has transience found a new pace? It’s been about, oh, a minute now Thanks for your precious time And as life swells by Please remain calm Do a little dance Add some ooh la la Keep it coming now Just don’t let us touch the ground La la la La la la La la la Head tilted back to the sky Underneath a canopy of fractured sunlight When I’m out there I’m thinking of how I’ll be desk bound Seeking to capture this sound Void of here and now Savings depleted, don’t love this feeling Shake the money off my mind for a sec Yeah I’ll look back one day And we’ll say “those were the best days with my mates around” For now we’re the new kids in town La la la La la la Cool cool London Yeah you’ve been right For this time in my life And you’ve shown me how to go And shake up the grooves Do a little dance Add some ooh la la Keep it coming now Just don’t let us touch the ground La la la La la la La la la La la la You’ll be right We’ll be right You’ll be right We’ll be right La la la We’ll be right La la la You’ll be right Do a little dance Add some ooh la la Keep it coming now Just don’t let us touch the ground

Rubicon 03:33
Looking like We’ll play a new hand Walk the line Like a jazz dance Oh keep me up now Keep me up now So much light On a new path The call of urban echoes On a new star Keep me up now Keep each other up now Are you ready and focussed Or feeling rather uncertain? Now I know You gotta learn to love To be loved To be beloved And soon enough You’ll have enough Don’t you see You’ve got nothing to lose Just lay it all out You’ll wanna stick around Every night I think of our southern stars Our country life was so advanced Keep it up now Keep me up now Keep each other up now Keep me up now
4.
Silver Star 05:36
I’ve never seen heart like yours Like yours that I’ve seen here Doubles down in it’s care You keep us rolling on And I just wanna ride with you I know we can hold our own Mustangs don’t roam alone Unbridled and so am I There’s a silver star that glows Keeps us riding along A road less known Yeah we keep hearing the call of the wind Heard it in the city we found Lets not forget to lose ourselves From time to time Go on, stay wide eyed in your wild stride And I promised we’d always get you home Mustangs don’t roam alone And shit works out in the end There’s a silver star that glows Keeps us riding along And for every minor setback We’ll bring a major comeback Oh hold on for a moment And another, and another You don’t come this far along Just to come this far along The road less known We’ll walk down the streets and smile And like Van said “when the healing has begun” And I know you’re an unknown legend in your own right Just wait til they find out The worlds gonna know your grace You were born with a smile on your face Turn up the dials Midnight oil to burn Stretch the frequencies of this world And let it be in style There’s a silver star that glows On the road less known There’s a silver star that glows For the road less known Like I said… Mustangs don’t roam alone Mustangs don’t roam alone Mustangs don’t roam alone On the road less known There’s a star that shines and glows For you and I we follow Mustangs don’t roam alone On the road less known Didn’t come this far along (just to come) Just to come this far along Mustangs don’t roam alone On the road less known

Keep drifting away Like a tide high to low Keep me at bay With your lighthouse on We won’t stray Even with an undertow Just keep up your glow And your silvertone We’ll make this house Our home Try to relate With a snow-covered field And two fox In their little hole No need To go outside We’re so warm Just be like a li-lo We’ll make this house Our home Whether we’re right or wrong Lately I feel at home Lately I feel at home Home, home, home, home
6.
What are we searching for And can you tell me more about it? Does it all hang on this? I don’t know what we’ll find But I need you to help me fly It’s you the runaway you know how Eyeing other ways to see out You see the other ways to fly Oh how you find Teach me your way to fly Oh runner boy And can you tell me more about it? What happened to your wings We’ve flown so far I need you to help me find Running through the clouds There’s no reason to hide You can’t stop here There’s no reason to hide You can’t stop it There’s no reason to hide You can’t stop here There’s no reason to hide
7.
The evening starts now And all of a sudden All the city’s alive Be back when morning arrives It all makes sense now We’re back to where we found Our day-to-day overtones Go ahead take the long way home Welcome back to the glow Intoxicating Texture lines A distorted mask And “not too much but all at once” I was once told Life goes on Laughter’s warm So well worn Still human after all And as time marches on Will being young ever get old? Welcome back to the glow This evenings ritual Kiss routine goodbye Retrace orbit at sunlight Haiku hotline Kiss routine goodbye Retrace orbit at sunlight We’ll go all night Welcome back to the glow Welcome back to the glow In little old London Town This evening’s ritual

My Light 03:50
We see in sound And hear in colour grades That looks like its loud Let’s move in cliche Words running wild Spoken in a daze Reality high Can’t you feel the weight? But you are my shining light When I’m dark you stay bright I’ve felt some insights And observed new tastes A chord rings out A true deep fake Every room in town Has begun to break It’s hard to unwind In this blue age But you are my shining light When I’m dark you stay bright
9.
Where we lay Nursing our fires I saw you looking out in the distance And knew what you had on your mind Take us again To where ignite Where we can dance in the distance And lose track of time Give me a shake Show me to move Give my head a break From the noise that it makes Coming back in view On and on Past the scream of a ghost Dreaming about us as Holly Hill lovers I know we’ll get there sometime We chase the thrills We’ll call it innate Show me what embodies the feeling Of what it is to be alive (Break Through Where are we Going) Give me a shake Show me to move Give my head a break From the noise that it makes I’m coming back in view Where we lay Holding fire I saw you looking out in the distance And knew what you had on your mind This is the echo chamber Suns hitting Where we’re running farther Running far We seek a golden place Where the lovers go Oh another place Oh another goal For the lovers The lovers The love.
10.
There’s no rush right now Take your time til you find out It’s in the waves It’s in the chords It’s in our veins It’s on the walls Where the summer nights Breath open air A warm breeze Cool glare And I’ll wait right here So much can cloud us dear It’s our life, our song Wouldn’t change nothing at all And who am I but to be all for you There’s no rush right now Take your time You’ll figure it out
11.
A reason to drive A reason to fight A reason to go out there And face the light of day A reason in mind Created from drive A reason to go out And face the light of day Yeah this is a love The kind that erupts The kind that you don’t go Out and replace At least when it does No comes and goes You want it all Now it’s gone to come again (Chicka) Wounded in love More reason to crush No wonder you’ve gone out And turned the light of day But when you’re low And with wanes in blush There ain’t no other way But to face up to your daze It isn’t enough Just to want this life To want it all and expect Your problems to go away You cant have enough You cant have it all But you want it all You don’t learn It’s just life Calling you back again From your past You know who you are Even through storm and calm Life can be hard after all But even through the faults Don’t you love it?
