Cellophane Dreams What does it mean to me? We’ll see Holding my tongue Whispers on the run There’s those who do and those who mean to Well I just wanna reach out and touch you But it’s hard to rewind, keep it in time, yeah All of this time What have I done with my life? What’s inside? Well I just wanna reach out and touch you Well it’s hard to rewind, keep it in time, yeah Don’t wanna give up, reach out and touch me It’s hard to rewind, keep it in time, yeah Cellophane Dreams

Alright 03:28
Do you feel Do you feel that its alright? When its not right and its not wrong? Do you think Do you think about it all night? When our love goes where the times gone? Fell in love fall in love like I love ya In the same bed, in the same frame Wanna feel Wanna feel like its alright Is that alright? Its alright We’re alright Lets ride Everyones right in their own way Who’s to say? Who’s to blame? Fall in love once again It’s the same rules, its the same game Do you feel Do you feel that its alright? When its not right and its not wrong? Do you think Do you think about it all night? Where our love goes when the times gone? Its alright We’re alright Lets ride

Tuesday 02:50
Hope, faith Is what I need today Watched you walk away Tuesday without you Rainy day all around Black walnuts on the ground You left without a sound Tuesday without you Empty feeling inside of me Watch the day turn to night slowly It’s not the same when you’re gone It’s not as funny as when you are home Please don’t you be long Tuesday without you Two days gone, two days too long And somehow life just keeps moving one Were you ever here at all? Tuesday without you
4.
Take A Walk 02:35
For a little while You begin to smile I say something foolish like a child Take a walk with me 68 degrees Isn’t it so beautiful to see? Oh yeah Walk with me We stroll slowly You’re the only the thing that’s real Oh, I know how hard it is you try Oh yeah Yeah, sometimes we hide Hide away inside Burning out our minds Trying to survive
5.
Saw you in the kitchen Apricot jam Cleaning up the dishes Light in your hair Breeze from the window Sweet summer air Laying in bed wishing Hand in hand I know it’s true New days and full moons Lilac in bloom Starting life with you Now you’re in the backseat Staring out at god Holding onto sun and love and yearning Holding onto it all Beauty in the highlands Ladybug on the glass Everything and nothing Futures and pasts I know it’s true New days and full moons Lilac in bloom Living life with you
6.
Leave gently You’re all that I can see Hope in reach Can’t seem to keep Heating grates Distant passing plane Dog days Juvenile haze Hope and pray That you will come back someday If it’s late, don’t worry, I’m awake Hope and pray (I couldn’t tell you but I know it’s true) That you will come back someday (I heard your voice out of the blue) If it’s late (I wanna get there but I don’t know how) Don’t worry, I’m awake (Can almost smell the blankets now)

Wasted Oath 03:06
Falling into something Holding onto nothing Keeping in a feeling Rolling with the whole thing Wasted oath Dead and gone Waiting for Times past told Hoping for an opening Coping without noticing Wasted oath Dead and gone Waiting for Time’s past told Holding on Something forlorn Time lost Memories holding strong
8.
Lost in That 03:32
I don’t know what to do but follow you Sometimes I haven’t a clue, but I know you do And if i try and i’m wrong, well you know that song It’s overwhelming, it’s long, it makes your hear beat strong But i’ve been lost in that It’s hard to recognize myself at all It’s just that one little thing that’ll make you sink Like how it was all okay, now you’re hoodiwnked Like how you couldn’t believe, it was too good to be true It had you down on your knees, you beg and you plead But i’ve been lost in that And I recognize myself at all I’ve been falling fast Holding on for something else to come I don’t want to be the one who looks around with nothing else to say I just want to be someone who takes it all and makes it all ok I’ve been lost in that It’s hard to recognize myself at all I’ve been falling fast holding on for something else to come I don’t know what to do So I follow you
9.
Marks on the mirror from another time Only can see them in the right light But you, I can see you here Cloudy or clear Mostly forgotten pictures on the wall Catch my attention hardly ever at all But you, you stay in my mind Couldn’t forget you if I tried
10.
Jane 03:14
Look at you for a while Light and easy inside Oh you’re drifting through time But it’s true all the while Dust will settle, truths will lie Oh Jane, oh Jane Everything changes after all But does it need changing? Hazy light, soft air Look away, I can’t You hold me in your hands Take flight to the sky Guess I’ll see you, goodbye Oh Jane, oh Jane Everything changes after all But does it need changing?
11.
Chlorine 03:08
I find you crushed up in the city, listless We ate tomatoes and the bread Went limp at the stoplight I nearly touched your lips I nearly touched your lips but missed Chlorine on my skin again I don’t wanna lose a memory Drain this place of every black and blue I see I can’t communicate But then again neither can you You swallow me whole I steal your heat Want the hair beneath your jeans Chlorine on my skin again I don’t wanna lose a memory Chlorine on my skin again I wish I could see you as you see me
12.
Wish I could bring you there Something in the air Like when you want to leave on the first day Then they can’t pry you away And it’s strange Feels like yesterday What do you say? Let’s just stay awake Keep my head down It all feels so small to me now I don’t know how I sound Here with the lost and found We all know People come and go Is this home? Home is what you know Home is what you know Home is what you know
13.
Changed 03:43
I know it’s been hard to deal with The feeling that you can’t just push away Dancing shadows on the ceiling Before you know it night turns into day It’s you I see When I fall asleep It’s you I need Hold me once again Hear the rain fall on the pavement At night it feels the world will fall apart And how can you expect to face it When you lose someone who made you what you are? It’s you I see When I fall asleep It’s true, I need To hold you once again
14.
Passerine 04:01
Was always you You brought me through The way you view The world makes me feel brand new You You make me feel brand new You make me feel like I do Back to back You’ve got mine, I know that White throated sparrow Sings us to sleep and back You You make me feel brand new You make me feel like I do
