Nothing’s certain, that’s for sure
That’s why I’m out searching for more
Running around like I’m out of time
Hoping I won’t wish that I could rewind
Going through life like I’m hiding and blind
It’s all connected, that’s for sure
But I don’t know which way to go
I don’t want any other man
But maybe a one-way ticket to Japan
A girl in my arm and a wine in my hand
It’s something I’ve felt since I was young Allie
But finally clear here at twenty-three
What a relief, I can finally breathe
Just give me a push cause I’m ready
Life is scary, that’s for sure
But it’s also full of fervor
And as bittersweet as it may be
I want to use, use the key
To figure out my identity
I said nothing’s certain, that’s for sure
That’s why I’m out searching for more
Running around like I’m out of time
Hoping I won’t wish that I could rewind
Going through life like
It’s something I’ve felt since I was younger me
But finally clear here at twenty-three
What a relief, I can finally breath
Just open the door cause I’m ready
It’s unraveling, dazzling, mesmerizing

When I think about the future
I think about the past
I’m just an alien on a long winding path
But I always feel out of place
That’s why I want to float away
In the air, on the lake
Into outer space
Thinking ‘bout what I should have said
My words not making any sense instead
That’s all I want to do
Just sit and talk with you
But I always feel out of place
That’s why I want to float away
In the air, on the lake
Into outer space
It doesn’t matter where I am
It’s all the same, it’s all the same
Tokyo or here
We’re all on the same plane
Aquarian, Allie-en

Connection
02:09
|
|||
|
When I really need it
It looks like waves
With the sun’s reflection on the face
Always making some sort of connection
Because the right time and place holds true
And I love you like this
Cause it’s materialistic
But I love you like this
Because it’s meant to be
When I really need it
It looks like waves
With the sun’s reflection on the face
Always daydreaming up a situation
Because the right time and place holds true
And I love you like this
Cause it’s materialistic
But I love you like this
Because it’s meant to be

Still Around
02:13
|
|||
|
You’re still around
I’m glad you’re still around
Even if we lost touch
I’m never far enough away
For you to mean less to me
Than how you did those days
You’re still around
I’m glad you’re still around
There are people that I knew and loved
That aren’t still around
But I’ll never stop picking you up
Off the ground
It pains me every day
That I couldn’t help them stay
But I will get you stay
And I will get you to say…hey
You’re still around
I’m glad you’re still around

You Taught Me
02:10
|
|||
|
Sometimes I wish you would
Have stayed small
So, I wouldn’t have as many
Worries is all
You taught me love
You taught me patience
Whether or not
You’d be more calm
I’d be able to
Pick you up in my arms
You taught me love
You taught me patience
Sometimes
I feel like I failed in you
But I know
That can’t be true
Because you taught me
You taught me

Getting There
03:14
|
|||
|
Getting there, getting where?
Focus here, focus there
Sleeping in, missing out
The future’s hard to think about
I want these feelings to expand
Into reality through my hands
Getting there, getting where?
Focus here, focus there
Getting there, I feel the pressure
Like finding maps to buried treasure
But what I discover along the way
Is as exciting as the next day
Getting there, getting where?
Focus here, focus there

Use Your Voice
02:40
|
|||
|
I could put it into words but I’m not gonna
Even those these times make me wanna
Tryna use my voice as something worth while
Like a testimony in life’s trial
Something’s gotta give
Things have got to change
We must not let
The ones already lost die in vain
I could put it into words but I’m not gonna
Even those these times make me wanna
Tryna use my voice as something worth while
Like a testimony in life’s trial
For some of you who can relate
Your voices carry other ways
How is that you have
No sympathy being quite the same?
We must fight back
And we must take control
Dismantle what is evil
And build a better world as a whole
I could put it into words
And maybe I oughta
These times surely
Make me wanna

Keeping Me Up
02:08
|
|||
|
Keeping me up, taking a toll
So much on my mind, I feel I’m losing control
Thinking about the future
Is harder than ever
Much more to worry about
Than tomorrow’s weather
Take me away to that dream state
Going for a ride to drive out the hate
Keeping me up, taking a toll
Numb the pain of shame, I feel I’m going insane
Is it my brain or is it the smoke?
Trying to uncover and discover
Some kind of hope
Take me away to that dream state
Going for a ride to drive out the hate
I wait

Magical Melody
01:57
|
|||
|
It stopped my heart, turned my body warm
And for a second the world seems okay
I want this feeling to stay
Always trying to compare
Sometimes I just wanna put it all out there
Like when you said you wish you wrote my song
Well, I wish I wrote your whole catalog
A magical…melody
I hope someone finds it
I hope it’ll last
I hope it doesn’t get
Lost in the past
Always trying to compare
Sometimes I just wanna put it all out there
I want that kind of melody
The magical one that you…
Breathe, breed, bleed

Drown
02:30
|

From where I am I can see the stars
But can you see them from where you are?
They’re way out there, pretty far
But they’re calling our names
Are we dreaming the same?
It makes me sad that you might not care
It makes me sad that you’re so unaware
And I can’t help but stare
And think of all the adventures we could share
I know it’s hard to look ahead
When everything’s black
But you’ll fade fast if you’re not on the track
I want it all to play out just like in my head
But I’m stuck here writing this song instead
It makes me sad that you might not care
It makes me sad that you’re so unaware
And I can’t help but stare
And think of all the adventures we will share
I’m not ready to settle down
And if I start to, I know I’ll drown

Pressure
02:16
|
|||
|
Just keep writing, just keep moving
It’s not enough, I just keep on losing
I’m feeling it build up bit by bit but
Please don’t add pressure, please don’t rush it
Open your eyes before time flies
Because this life won’t be fair
Until we get all the way there
I want it to play out like in my head but
Just like the day, it starts in bed
Just keep writing, just keep moving
It’s never enough, I’m sick of this feeling
Open your eyes before time flies
Because this life won’t be fair
Until we get all the way there
All the way there
Oh, I can see us there

Repeat
02:53
|

|
Give me caffeine to clear my head
Doesn’t put your tired body to bed
Same old news ring through my ears
But notice the sky, it’s starting to clear
Each day I feel closer and closer
Like sensing my water boiling over
So, I’ll just keep repeating myself
Until you hear these words out of my mouth
Re-repeat
Re-release
Re- re
Help me, will you please?
What’s still stopping me?
I’ve never felt more free
Is it still all about timing?
Every little sign I’m grasping
Give me canna to clear my head
Doesn’t put your tired body to bed
Same old news ring through my ears
But notice the sky, it’s starting to clear
Each day I feel closer and closer
Like sensing my water boiling over
So, I’ll just keep repeating myself
Until you hear these words out of my mouth
Re-repeat
Re-release
Re-re
Help me, will you please?
What’s still stopping me?
I’ve never felt more free
Is it still all about timing?
Every little sign I’m grasping
Repeat this day after day, don’t let it slip away
These feelings have got to stay
Release what I wanna say
Every little sign I’m grasping
Re-repeat
Re-release
Re-re
Ringing alone, stardust melody
