Age of Our Innocence
(verse 1)
age of our innocence
together we
venture into adulthood
a mature mood
 
leaving behind our home towns
for a better future all around
breaking expectations and barriers
surpassing limits and superiors
 
let’s break away
spread wings and fly
we love our nests
but they know the reason why
I’ve got to make my own name
because they did the same
 
(chorus)
I believe in my love
and my life
suddenly it’s become my time
I believe in my love
pressure goes
and gets caught in my headspace
(end chorus)
 
(verse 2)
age of our innocence
my wish only
dissolves with the others
trying to stand out at this shaky age
working hard for too little wage
I’m a person not a machine
 
being the change
the world desperately needs
realizing at this age
it’s time to plant the seeds
the time in the spotlight is short
I’ll pass it on in the form of a note
 
(chorus)
I believe in my love
fully lean
into that ever-fleeing dream
I believe in my love
giving chase
it may not work out but it’s a chance
I believe in my love
(end chorus)
 
(bridge)
knowledge is a vehicle
not something that takes all my nickels
you try to keep us poor
but we crave more
 
wanting what’s best
for us and the rest
putting others first
and not being the worst
the kind of adult I wish to be
is learning from the mistakes of old
and setting us free
 
(chorus)
I believe in my love
and my life
suddenly it’s become my time
I believe in my love
pressure goes
and gets caught in my headspace
I believe in my love
fully lean
into that ever-fleeing dream
I believe in my love
giving chase
it may not work out but it’s a chance
I believe in my love
I believe in my love
I believe in my love
I believe in my love
(end chorus)

AVALON

(verse 1)

I'm ready to go to the land where Excalibur was made

I'm still young, but I'm leaving Camelot

I promise to return someday

you'll fill my Holy Grail with red wine of the finest

I'm still king of the knights

dye me all of life's colors

(chorus)

ride into battle

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I partook in black magic

but I'm still holy through all of it

I lost the battle, but I won the war

and returned to where you are

I spread my wings and found the flower of time

the door opened, and I climbed

(chorus)

my rite of passage

I have to pass this test

for the village that raised me

thank you, papa, mama

(end chorus)

(bridge)

was this predestined?

was it fate where I walked?

(verse 3)

we broke bread and danced merrily

me and my faithful army

we bonded over shared troubles

and took on each other's struggles

you lost your life for the sake of me

I'll be grateful for eternity

the door opens

we run through

(chorus)

Avalon

take me to that land

where there's milk and honey

let the conflict end

the dust is settling

my rite of passage

I have to pass this test

for the village that raised me

thank you, papa, mama

ride into battle

take me to that land

where there's milk and honey

let the conflict end

the dust is settling

(end chorus)

 
 

 
Ocean Blue
(verse 1)
they say money cannot buy pure happiness
but we worked hard and we finally got our sweet slice

of the high society pie

 
the lonely highway

is never travelled alone

they all know our names wherever we choose to go

in every social circle is someone we know

this summer on holiday

leave the world behind and privately jet away

I just need my little black Gucci dress

my packed Louis luggage, my Maserati, and no stress

 
(chorus)
come gaze upon the ocean blue
lounge around the world's horizon
capture this pretty moment on video
live in luxury with me and never let it go
(end chorus)

(verse 2)

enjoying life's little golden treasures

the one-percenter couple with nothing but love's pleasures

if it comes in a Tiffany box, I'll give it to you

the white, sparkling hotel glass

clinks just as well in sand as on green turf grass

the sun always shines on me and you

"pink champagne or Bacardi, doll?"

it's always nice to have many choices

ah, the world voices as we ride out in our Rolls-Royces

(chorus)

am I beautiful in the silver moon?

standing on our mansion's balcony

we're living our desired reality

you are the only number one for me

(end chorus)

(chorus)
come gaze upon the ocean blue
lounge around the world's horizon
capture this pretty moment on video
live in luxury with me and never let it go

am I beautiful in the silver moon?

standing on our mansion's balcony

we're living our desired reality

you are the only number one for me

come gaze upon the ocean blue
lounge around the world's horizon
capture this pretty moment on video
live in luxury with me and never let it go

(end chorus)

Happy Hour

(verse 1)

calm down, my darling

take a breath, if you need

we're in this turbulent time in our lives

let's go to the land of high fives

and have a drink on me

there we can think

about just me and you

these days I think Americana

romance me in your native Italiano

so I can just think about sunset days

no college deadlines, just Capri

I want to drown in cigars and old fashioneds

(chorus)

ahh, what a beautiful view

never-ending mimosas and strawberry martinis

I want to get drunk on my man

and contemplate my life over brandy

my heart says all my problems

can be solved with a few drinks

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I swear they just said it was happy hour

now they're hollering it's final call

pick yourself up, you lightweight

am I the only one that can hold her liquor?

(chorus)

we became quite the sight

but intoxication feels just right

I'm sure we'll regret in the morning

a hangover that feels like month old leftovers

but I had fun on this outing

(end chorus)

(chorus)

ahh, what a beautiful view

never-ending mimosas and strawberry martinis

I want to get drunk on my man

and contemplate my life over brandy

ahh, what a beautiful view

never-ending mimosas and strawberry martinis

I want to get drunk on my man

and contemplate my life over brandy

my heart says all my problems

can be solved with a few drinks

(end chorus)

Homework

(verse 1)

shoo bi, shoo bi, shoo bi, you love it

shoo bi, shoo bi, shoo bi, you love it

shoo bi, shoo bi, shoo bi, you love it

shoo bi, shoo bi, shoo bi, you love it

don't act like you think I did not know the facts

it's printed all over your face, it shows

all my friends and even some of your best buddies

said you noticed me on campus

head over heels for a girl that came to Cambridge from Kansas

oh woah

you act surprised that I've been keeping tabs

(chorus)

I do my homework

chemistry, biology, I know about boys

homework, top of the class, breaking the ceiling's glass

love is like homework

I'll let you take me out if you're not a jerk

homework

you're my top scholar, and I'm your best professor

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

you told your friend at your fraternity's party

word traveled fast to my sorority

saying you didn't think you could graduate

if I rejected your idea of a date

we girls have secrets that are confidential

oh woah

you're looking at me like I kiss and tell

(chorus)

I do my homework

chemistry, biology, I know about boys

homework, running in the higher institution of learning

love is like homework

everyone knows that I won't shirk

homework

you better study because I'll test you when you're ready

(end chorus)

(bridge)

shoo bi, shoo bi, shoo bi, you love it

shoo bi, shoo bi, shoo bi, you love it

shoo bi, shoo bi, shoo bi, you love it

shoo bi, shoo bi, shoo bi, you love it

(chorus)

I do my homework

chemistry, biology, I know about boys

homework, top of the class, breaking the ceiling's glass

love is like homework

I'll let you take me out if you're not a jerk

homework

you're my top scholar, and I'm your best professor

I do my homework

(end chorus)

Morning & Afternoon

(chorus)

good morning, afternoon

the sun says "I'll be there"

(don't run away

stay on the golden highway)

good morning, afternoon

we can go anywhere

as long as we have the key

you're where I want to be

let's live in these modern times

and go together like lemons and limes

afternoon

(end chorus)

(verse 1)

(I don't want to be just friends

I want to be the target where the dart lands)

so I enter the room lazily

I catch your eye and act cheerfully

be jealous of me

and how I'm moving

ooh, and even then I can't ignore it

you've always been like a strong magnet

it's a fact that I can play coy

but you'll always be my favorite toy

(chorus)

good morning, afternoon

the sun says "I'll be there"

and I'll always be here

in our house or by the pool

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

(perhaps I was a little too rough

but your attitude is so tough

rumors swirl around and turn into lies)

someday I will regret it

but for now I'll smoke a cigarette

and reminisce in the brunch's bliss

mmm, from morning to night it's all about you and I

getting clean, running me dry, but I can't even try

it's unlike you to be so uncool that you're a fool

but it can't be helped, I've got you whipped

(chorus)

good morning, afternoon

the sun says "I'll be there"

(don't run away

stay on the golden highway)

good morning, afternoon

we can go anywhere

as long as we have the key

you're where I want to be

let's live in these modern times

and go together like lemons and limes

afternoon

(end chorus)

Havana

(verse 1)

I've never known such freedom

I've never been so dumb

people who know me

know I'm not so carefree

the first time we met

at that cocktail party

I'd live dangerously, if you'd let me

(chorus)

I don't want love

I just crave lust

but if we must

let's not be crestfallen

and not walled in

just unapologetically wild, ah

like a flower growing on a seaside cliff

like a Motown piano riff

dripped in sweat like we're in Havana

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

grab a glass and pour me

you're favorite drink, a banana daiquiri

embrace the evening

show me how you want to be

and as I lose myself

to us being ourselves

like jungle animals, ahh

(chorus)

it's so sexy

when you smirk devilishly

like I'm a macaron delight

you have a taste of my body in Havana

(end chorus)

(bridge)

but then tomorrow

it's just who you are

acting like you don't know romance

never giving us another chance

it's our last dance

velvet blue

smudged, kissed rouge

always attempting

to get a rise out of me

(chorus)

I don't want love

I just crave lust

but if we must

let's not be crestfallen

and not walled in

just unapologetically wild, ah

like a flower growing on a seaside cliff

like a Motown piano riff

dripped in sweat like we're in Havana

it's so sexy

when you smirk devilishly

like I'm a macaron delight

you have a taste of my body in Havana

(end chorus)

Choco-Language

(verse 1)

if it's a little bitter

I'll savor it later

wearing my rose sunglasses

the flavor I crave

to which I'm a slave

it goes good on ice cream

don't speak, don't speak, don't speak

I like it, like it too, like it too

(chorus)

choco-language the language of love

the way to talk to get into my locked heart

take a piece, take a part, it's my idol I adore

it always leaves me wanting more

make me go "yay, yay""

when I take a big bite

make me go "woah, woah"

when I melt in the heat

make me go "yay, yay"

what I seek all week

so if you want to speak

use the chocolate language

talk to me, talk to me, talk to me

it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

chocolate leftover on my cheek

kiss it off like you're sleek

I think you just want a taste of my love

because it's divine, like from up above

it's all lies, it's all lies, it's all lies, no truth

you're wrong, it's rumors, it's rumors, ruthless

(chorus)

choco-language the language of love

the way to talk to get into my locked heart

take a piece, take a part, it's my idol I adore

it always leaves me wanting more

make me go "yay, yay"

when I take a big bite

make me go "woah, woah"

when I melt in the heat

make me go "yay, yay"

my favorite at any age

sends the perfect message

don't speak, don't speak, don't speak

I like it, like it too, like it too

(end chorus)

(bridge)

you like me, you like me, I like you

probably, maybe, maybe

(chorus)

choco-language the language of love

the way to talk to get into my locked heart

take a piece, take a part, it's my idol I adore

it always leaves me wanting more

make me go "yay, yay""

when I take a big bite

make me go "woah, woah"

when I melt in the heat

make me go "yay, yay"

what I seek all week

so if you want to speak

use the chocolate language

talk to me, talk to me, talk to me

it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

you like me, you like me, I like you

probably, maybe, maybe

don't speak, don't speak, don't speak

I like it, like it too, like it too

talk to me, talk to me, talk to me

it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

you like me, you like me, I like you

probably, maybe, maybe

don't speak, don't speak, don't speak

I like it, like it too, like it too

(end chorus)

Tropic of Capricorn

(verse 1)

decisive and slightly kinda cold

throwing me away when you think I've gotten old

isn't that just so typical?

I think I've seen it all

there's really men out there like you

on a safari in the wild

you know me well, I'll be fine without you

southern raised and northern sensibility

we could be nobility

but it's not in your ability

to treat someone nice

I'm not psychic

I can't teleport

I'm not a telepath

you're not perfect

you're a mess

who causes stress

we all live a thing called life

and it's filled with things called strife

I can't make it anymore clear

(chorus)

tropic of Capricorn

hiding there with scorn

and when it rains

it's cause I caused disdain

tropic of Capricorn

all because of me

so passionately

you ruined everything

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

blooming like a fragrant red rose

petals fell off one by one

why should I take the blame?

when you're the only one playing a game

hoping I'll sacrifice

and satisfy

I'm only one

I'm not seven

in disguise

you're demanding

and you're not a director

just a dictator

who removed my clothes

when I went with your flows

ah, it wasn't hot

it was cold

not even tepid

ah, it was fast 

wasn't slow

we went rapid

I don't even want to see your face

you're ugly and it interferes with my space

stop talking and just shut up please

(chorus)

tropic of Capricorn

hiding there with scorn

and when it rains

it's cause I caused disdain

tropic of Capricorn

all because of me

so passionately

you ruined everything

tropic of Capricorn

hiding there with scorn

and when it rains

it's cause I caused disdain

tropic of Capricorn

all because of me

so passionately

you ruined everything

(end chorus)

110°F

(verse 1)

it's so humid

I wonder if you had heard

about how I am

my anxiety is as high as the temperature

but I'll be sure

to not mess this up somehow

da ba da ba do ba da

da ba da ba do ba da

da ba da ba do ba da

no one taught me how to fail

all I do is win

but time will weave a different tale

 da ba da ba do ba da

pineapple and coconuts will be provided

in my tropical paradise

the place I escape to

when I don't meet the goal

and I feel empty not whole

(chorus)

somewhere far away

a different location than the grey

it may be 110 degrees

but everything is free

why didn't anyone tell me youth would hurt?

they pat me on the back and tell me it's a growth spurt

growing pains leave permanent stains

that adulthood can't wash out for good

(end chorus)

 

(verse 2)

Fahrenheit not Celsius

plain sight not suspicious

I wonder what they all think of me

with I act idiotically

the truth is I can't remember their names now

but I'm sure they remember how

don't look for me in my bed

I'm in my head

at my wits end in the living room

take me away

for a straight jacket hotel stay

the men in white will be here soon

da ba da ba do ba da

da ba da ba do ba da

life's sneaking up from behind

the calendar's there to remind

that I'll be old and will descend

(chorus)

somewhere far away

a different location than the grey

it may be 110 degrees

but everything is free

why didn't anyone tell me youth would hurt?

they pat me on the back and tell me it's a growth spurt

growing pains leave permanent stains

that adulthood can't wash out for good

sa ba da ba da ba da ba da

da ba da ba do ba da

(end chorus)

Midnight Run

(verse 1)

I'm running away from

the things that keep me up continuously at night

I'm not a kid, yet I'm not an adult

but I'm left alone with my hurt

I don't like violent confrontation

but in this perilous situation

I'm making a final stand

making fists out of my two hands

always looking out for others

but no one ever has to look out for me

the smoke of the past cinders smothers

but outside the night air is clean

I could really use a friend

but this looks like the end

my child self grabs my present hand

woah, woah, woah

(chorus)

Mom, Dad, I'm doing everything I can

everyone I promise that I'll win

and be stronger as a result

(midnight run)

the scary monsters hidden underneath my bed

the skeletons in the closet in my head

scare me no more

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

sunflowers are the harbinger of the season

it's summer, thank God

books on tape and religious chants are the reason

it's all that I had

I'm walking barefoot on black rose thorns

my weapon is self-love instead of scorn

sadness dies and blooms happiness

woah, woah, woah

(chorus)

big brother and little sister

depression's a person and I can't resist her

she hugs and won't let go

(midnight run)

there are a couple things that I've come to know

I'll keep sprinting on this yellow-bricked road

midnight run

(end chorus)

(chorus)

midnight run

Mom, Dad, I'm doing everything I can

Acacia

(verse 1)

a cold rain drop

fell on my head

I didn't know it was supposed to rain today

so we share your striped umbrella for two

hey, do you think

that I could grab your hand

and you not shirk away

I just want to gaze at the tiger lilies with you

small talk about the acacia in Africa

then I ask "do you love me?"

(chorus)

then suddenly I'm taken back

to when I would think

a future with just us two

is a signpost to the future

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

silver flowers bloom up on the hill

that the green breeze pushes us up to

you're surprised at how I can turn any phrase

someday maybe we'll return

with a family that can run

to the place where we said

those words and you kissed my forehead

"hey, I think that I'm quite fond of you"

and I blush "do you love me?"

(chorus)

a nostalgic memory

rides the wind quickly

and the one thing that I know

is that love can grow

(end chorus)

(bridge)

small talk about the acacia in Africa

Tuxedo Rain

(verse 1)

dressed in our fine clothes

with nowhere important to go

our silver bed sheets could wrap us up

but it'd wrinkle my dress and your tuxedo

let's do something spontaneous

open the doors and run into the storm

barefoot into the rain we will dance

(chorus)

kiss me bold even though you're cold

show me the passion of our fashion

let's be free, that's how I want us to be

until we're shaking and blue

even if our skin looks like a prune

the tuxedo rain in our kingdom 

washes away our boredom

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

when we're in the dry

look out our second story window

still riding the high

of a summer rain shower

don't you feel refreshed?

like you're seen by the world

I wish you'd do it again, say that you would

(chorus)

even if it's the dead of the night

I swear it'll be alright

let it wash away and cleanse us of our sins

do not be afraid

if it's what you crave

we'll take the dive to feel alive

(end chorus)

(chorus)

even if it's the dead of the night

I swear it'll be alright

let it wash away and cleanse us of our sins

do not be afraid

if it's what you crave

we'll take the dive to feel alive

kiss me bold even though you're cold

show me the passion of our fashion

let's be free, that's how I want us to be

until we're shaking and blue

even if our skin looks like a prune

the tuxedo rain in our kingdom 

washes away our boredom

(end chorus)

Summer Junction

(verse 1)

it's so hot outside

let's stay in and unwind

are we just friends or something more, I wonder?

I'd like for us to become closer

but it's hard to talk about

rejection is so scary and funny

if you laughed I'd hit the highway

I don't think you'd be like that

but what if you're that way?

I don't know you and you don't know me

but what I do know is that you're so lovely

even in the heat

(chorus)

even now, I have regrets

even though I'm over it

are we truly in love

or can't we say what this shape is of

at this summer junction

I want one condition

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I'm too young to be this single

if you came over we would be a double

triple the feelings, the confusion, and risk

I put your favorite songs on a compact disc

can we beat the heat in these dog days?

if I counted, I'd have tried all the ways

to get closer

(chorus)

how many times have you ignored?

how's that I accepted

that you can't take an oath

and I can't see what's worse

if it's a miracle or a curse

even now, I have regrets

even though I'm over it

are we truly in love

or can't we say what this shape is of

at this summer junction

I want one condition

(end chorus)

Holiday in Acapulco

(verse 1)

we didn't go anywhere for spring break

we barely made the dean's list, let's escape the hate

perhaps somewhere we can practice our Spanish

dive into the emerald sea, explore the city, like Acapulco

(chorus)

the white veil of my sun hat tickles my neck, fufufu

the delicious smell in the air takes me, fufufu

Maria guides us to the rhythm, while we're here let's be like them

the light of the sun through my fingers, fufufu

these sweet feelings of summer lingers, fufufu

I'm just happy to be with you on this route

a holiday away in Acapulco

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

we arrived on Saturday and didn't want to leave on Friday

but real life's not a honeymoon

I pretend I'm a princess of the city

and from my boredom you rescue me

(chorus)

the blue sea and the wind captured in a photo, fufufu

the boats sail by but where do they go, fufufu

no matter where we are, I'm never far from my baby

we scrimped and saved from our part time jobs, fufufu

we made it to the goal and beat the odds, fufufu

we're young and want to have fun

we wanted to go, so we came to Acapulco

(end chorus)

(bridge)

don't hand the door key in

let's stay and tan our skin

it'll be hard to give up and return

you and I can still yearn

(chorus)

the white veil of my sun hat tickles my neck, fufufu

the delicious smell in the air takes me, fufufu

Maria guides us to the rhythm, while we're here let's be like them

the light of the sun through my fingers, fufufu

these sweet feelings of summer lingers, fufufu

I'm just happy to be with you on this route

a holiday away in Acapulco

(end chorus)

Blue Planet

(chorus)

riding on your big wave

this foiled world we will surely save

we want the forever blue planet

to be our home we inhabit

(end chorus)

(verse 1)

they're trying to take it from us

but we got suspicious

we're going to fight for the green

we're going to stand between

people who are selfish and greedy

but just like this and that

we'll hold steady

soon before long

there will be too much damage

but it's up to us

to try and salvage

and make it like heaven

keep it paradise

with lots of ice

(chorus)

looking for my sunshine

it's there, but not on time

knock, knocking on ideas

to see if they want to appear

we have to save before it disappears

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

no matter what it warrants

we still want green forests

so why still chop down trees?

corporations should give up an leave

soon before long

there will be too much damage

but it's up to us

to try and salvage

and make it like heaven

keep it paradise

with lots of ice

(bridge)

a blue planet

we will save it

if we work together

it'll belong to us forever

soon before long

there will be too much damage

but it's up to us

to try and salvage

and make it like heaven

keep it paradise

with lots of ice

(chorus)

looking for my sunshine

it's there, but not on time

knock, knocking on ideas

to see if they want to appear

we have to save before it disappears

a blue planet

we will save it

if we work together

it'll belong to us forever

(end chorus)

Sadness on Route 16

(verse 1)

he drove me all the way out here

to find that love wasn't there

we were on two separate pages

I wanted jokes and the night changes

I wanted love, but he wants a collection

then he saw my reaction

and it was the last time

(chorus)

there's so much to unpack here, sadness on route 16

I want to want him but then again I don't know, don't know where he has been

some more, some more tell me what you've seen

I swear still, it's too late

changed my mind, no second date

I was foolishly, hoping there was happiness on route 16

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

he turned off the radio

opened the back car door

told me get in

I don't live in sin

I want commitment

he wants the opposite

if I could I'd bike back

but I have to bite it

(chorus)

if I had known I would have gone to route 16

his intentions were hidden and then, and then my innocence

some more, some more left me washed up

it's not my fault, you're not on my side

don't be like that, a jerk on the outside

let me breathe, I just want to live away from route 16

(end chorus)

(bridge)

I've cried lots of tears in your passenger seat

you sigh like you're tired and beat

I put on a front and look out the window glass

I'd like some fresh air, but I'll have to pass

(chorus)

there's so much to unpack here, sadness on route 16

I want to want him but then again I don't know, don't know where he has been

some more, some more tell me what you've seen

I swear still, it's too late

changed my mind, no second date

I was foolishly, hoping there was happiness on route 16

it's not my fault, you're not on my side

don't be like that, a jerk on the outside

let me breathe, I just want to live away from route 16

I swear still, it's too late

changed my mind, no second date

I was foolishly, hoping there was happiness on route 16

Typhoon

(verse 1)

we rode the wind to escape the winter

we came here to escape another

day of the light not reaching us

but have we run out of things to say

has boredom gotten in our way?

it's almost too hot it's insufferable

it's coming soon, I fear

the typhoon is strong, I hear

it's humid in my mind

and misty in my heart

(chorus)

I don't think I can take anymore

you're already standing close to the door

let the wind blow you out with a boom

and leave with the typhoon

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

we wished for an eternal summer

but our relationship will be cold forever

I'm worried, I'm worried, I'm worried

not necessarily about us

I think I miscounted my calories

if that's the most of my worries

I don't care about you in the rain

who are we kidding?

we're some numb we can't even feel pain

the outside is storming

it's the event of the century

(bridge)

we wished for an eternal summer

but our relationship will be cold forever

I'm worried, I'm worried, I'm worried

(chorus)

I don't think I can take anymore

you're already standing close to the door

let the wind blow you out with a boom

and leave with the typhoon

it'll be something dramatic

you holding onto my arm

I'm floating away in the updraft

but we're safe here in shelter

away from the typhoon

(end chorus)

Apple of Universal Gravity
(verse 1)
I came here on the search of universal knowledge
I found fun and a whimsical paradise
the drinks poured with endless ice
 
no matter how hard I tried
faced with so many impossible lies
I got disheartened and lost the vision
it was blurry and that was their mission
 
in my quest for only the truth
I became crippled
I dived in like a private sleuth
and found nothing but debt and the truth rippled
 
(verse 2)
the phantom never made it to the opera
a scary movie, I was chased wearing only my bra
I said I won’t go back and I meant never
 
to be the queen, you had to be the jack
to learn the trade, you had to drink the Kool-aid
to be the best, you had to pick up the slack
and not complain
 
(chorus)
where does that leave me?
the race is on to get out of the bottom
where it’s solemn
no matter how hard I tried to be
the top is high so their roots were forgotten
(end chorus)
 
(bridge)
when I was young I had a glint of hope in my eye
they rung me out until I was dry
 
(chorus)
where does that leave me?
the race is on to get out of the bottom
where it’s solemn
no matter how hard I tried to be
the top is high so their roots were forgotten
(end chorus)
 
(verse 3)
I came here on the search of universal knowledge
I found fun and a whimsical paradise
the drinks poured with endless ice
 
no matter how hard I tried
faced with so many impossible lies
I got disheartened and lost the vision
it was blurry and that was their mission
 
in my quest for only the truth
I became crippled
I dived in like a private sleuth
and found nothing but debt and the truth rippled

BABYLON

(verse 1)

the embers survived the rain

the winds revived the flame

we fell apart and then came back together

let these flames turn into fireworks

we cried and no one saw us

we told secrets

let this thing we found

only belong to us

don't climb out of bed

hide under the cotton sheets

(chorus)

someday, we'll find our secret garden

lay me down under the sunshine

you and your words that are foreign

will lead us to Babylon

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

all the gold and treasures for our eyes

we'll never be poor, we'll always be rich

the drums of our heart beat

flare with out youthful heat

we don't have to understand

we just have to go with it

this garden in the sky

is our own land

the first thing that is ours

 

(chorus)

someday, we'll find our secret garden

lay me down under the sunshine

you and your words that are foreign

will lead us to Babylon

(end chorus)

(chorus)

someday, we'll find our secret garden

lay me down under the sunshine

you and your words that are foreign

will lead us to Babylon

you and your words that are foreign

will lead us to Babylon

you and I are legendary

our clothes are gold and silvery

you and your words that are foreign

will lead us to Babylon

someday, we'll find our secret garden

lay me down under the sunshine

you and your words that are foreign

will lead us to Babylon

Babylon

Dance Like We're Embracing

(verse 1)

you and I haven't yet taken our last chance

hand in hand we can firmly grasp

because our love as a couple can outlast

who knew a waltz could taste bittersweet?

the place we always meet at night

is the location we call home

ah, even after all the years that have passed

nothing's changed, not even the way we dress

(chorus)

dance like we're embracing

never let go of me

pinching pennies and roaring twenties

made smoke but didn't burn in the flames

we made graves for fireflies

and settled down in our fifties

it's you all these days, forever, and for always

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

a legacy passed down through children

all of the hearts we are in

tell the tales of places we've been

when we're gone photographs will remain

but you'll still be my man

stay by my side even then

ahh, a romance that became daily dance

we're the same, and that's our stance

(chorus)

dance like we're embracing

from morning to evening

at every meal and even still

even though we've aged

because of good grace nothing's changed

all these days, forever, and for always

(end chorus)

(bridge)

the wind carries the scent of you

to me and into the grand blue

always existing in my heart

knowing we'll never part

my precious treasure

(chorus)

dance like we're embracing

from morning to evening

at every meal and even  still

even though we've aged

because of good grace nothing's changed

all these days, forever, and for always

dance like we're embracing

never let go of me

pinching pennies and roaring twenties

made smoke but didn't burn in the flames

we made graves for fireflies

and settled down in our fifties

it's you all these days, forever, and for always

(end chorus)
