Deep Down 03:52
see you in their company but there's no room for me may as well leave it be do you even think of me? you probably wouldn't mention it who cares what they say about you cause i'm always wishing some of the things said could end of being lies cause deep down i'm so obsessed over who when and why there is a light at the edge of the world there is a night to rest assured now it's been a few years things are still unclear what was it all about? do you even know me now that we've lost touch now that i've lost so much and i had a flashback to being face to face four blue eyes and snowflakes to taste i wanna live to feel my best cause if you're always down then you're days are a waste there is a light at the edge of the world there is a night to rest assured
2.
i still think about you wondering if you're still unhappy with me too i don't wanna bring up our painful past i just wanna know how long this feeling will last cause i wanna be the light that you need when the sea and sky are dark i wanna show you where to go never want you to feel alone feel alone, feel alone, feel alone and i know we don't live forever it's why i'm so attached for ever after and i wanna see you gaze out in the fog on the avalon and find a lighthouse at night where we can stay for long and watch the sea go back and fourth all day and never die i wanna tell you so much none of it is a lie is a lie, is a lie, is a lie i don't want you to lose faith and trust in me cause there is a mountain of gold inside me or else i wouldn't let you love me love me, love me, you're so good with me love me, love me, you're so good for me and please don't ever give up on me i know it's been a long journey but we're lucky i know you're here on my time but we won't forget pacific wind will guide you back again pacific wind will love you till the end

Splinter 04:15
the smell of wood smoke on your clothes and throat brings back memories of you and me and all the colors of the sea in midwinter you're sad missing the sun you had missing a city so big and bright so many emotions bring out the night there was a splinter underneath heading halfway beneath it is buried so deep just another bad feeling to beat and when the wind howls in through the whole house give me shivers from head to toe while she's dreaming of places unknown there was a splinter underneath heading halfway beneath it is buried so deep just another bad feeling to beat i don't ever want to lose you someday my only thoughts i hope you always stay i already made a big fool out of myself i didn't ever want to lose you that way i don't ever want to lose you someday my only thoughts i hope you always stay i already made a big fool out of myself i didn't ever want to lose you that way
4.
tell myself the things i wanna hear like i'll finally change this year like you'll always be near in the darkest part of the year don't go back to those fears of you and me in love but both of us unhappy wash away the way you feel don't overthink it and make it real you deserve more than you know free yourself and then you'll grow don't wait here in this town on people who aren't around and only bring you down feel the frost on my face winter's same familiar taste lingers longer than our love like the clouds way up above you have everything you need in this bed tonight in your arms so tight
5.
Juniper 03:14
i like the way our love grows like rosebuds lavender and juniper but you're so far from desert sand mountain lions and beautiful plants i like the way you look tonight a tall sunflower under soft light with tie dye clouds surrounding you in warm ocean air and the last thing i wanna see is for us to grow apart far apart, far apart i'd fall apart if we were far apart and the last thing i wanna see is you being unhappy unhappy, unhappy cause you mean to the world to me

Open Water 03:23
it's been a while since i've seen fireworks in your eyes for me and now i miss things that i never thought i would i know you feel lost here sometimes like you're in open water just trying to keep yourself surfacing and now you miss things that you never thought you would like how well she really always understood and now i miss things that i never thought i would and the firestarter is no good if there is no spark but i'll wait for you by my favorite landmark and now you miss things that you never thought you would like how well she really always understood and now i miss things that i never thought i would keep my heart open in case i misunderstood and now you miss things that you never thought you would like feeling reassured with just one look and how she stood by you the best she could
7.
i saw you far in the distance and it made me question my own existence cause our ship is an illusion on the horizon drifting apart and on the furthest point where the earth and sky meet our slow burning goodbye will be bittersweet cause our ship is an illusion on the horizon a phantom island of delusion an ever-changing mirage
8.
Gemini 04:04
it would be ok with me if we settled down and stuck around and if we had a little small life doesn't that sound so nice and you bring magic to my days when you look at me in those ways i want you all to myself couldn't think of anyone else who possesses as much beauty as on this earth and under the sea am i hurting myself by thinking about people who don't try i know all the stars talk to you when you're home and lonely looking to connect with someone new who will just listen to the thoughts in your head you might forget before bed just the thoughts of us and the ways that are hard to trust i see flowers in your eyes dozens of rows of paradise to explore by myself hope you give me more of yourself i'll watch the snow melt on your face you bring beauty to this place let's stay by the sea and watch the ice freeze our memories overnight i know all the stars talk to you when you're home and lonely looking to connect with someone new who will just listen to the thoughts in your head you might forget before bed just the thoughts of us and the ways that are hard to trust and when the night comes to an end i love starting mornings with you again let's wait for winter to pass us by said my favorite gemini before we decide what to do just promise you'll know that i love you
