These Days
03:55

One of these day we’ll buy a ship and sail away endlessly.
Talk about life over morning coffee, one of these days maybe we’ll see.
One of these days we’ll buy an elephant and roam the land taking it in.
Wake up the day and kiss good-bye, one of these days we’ll give it a try.
Chorus:
No one will love you better than I will, I will.
Take a moment, close your eyes and be still, be still.
I’ll give my love to you all that I am
Can’t you see it with me honey?
One of these days we’ll build a house at the edge of the world a river below
Call up the sun to the unknown one of these days we’ll call it home
One of these days…..
One of these days…..
Chorus:
No one will love you better than I will, I will
Take a moment close your eyes and be still, be still.
I’ll give my love to you all that I am
Can’t you see it with me honey?
No one will love you better than I will, I will.

Timebomb

Ticking, ticking, timebomb.
Who knows how long?
Ticking, ticking, ticking away,
like a record skipping, waiting to play.
Ringing, ringing, in my ears,
timing is everything.
Take back the reason. Make it your season.
No one can stop you now.
Chorus:
It’s a matter of time, before it comes down to this.
They’ll lie their way out of all their secrets.
Get back your sanity. Take in the moment.
They dare call you helpless.
Medicate humanity, can you believe it?
Are they serious?
Clear out the cobwebs. Throw out your old shit.
Make it a clearing out, walk away now.
Chorus:
It’s a matter of time, before it comes down to this.
They’ll lie their way out of all their secrets.
You’ll be left alone, to make your way and move on.
They’ll still be wondering, after you’re gone.
Ticking, ticking, timebomb.
Ticking, ticking, timebomb.

Like Never Before
03:40
|

|
I feel empty today. What can I say?
The despair that I’m feeling won’t go away.
Heaven is here, coming down, all around, but we deny it still.
Chorus:
Gotta ask for it if you really want it.
Gotta think like you’ve already taken it home.
Gotta love it like you’ve already had it alone.
Oh, you’ve gotta hold it like you never have before.
Feel quiet today, don’t wanna watch the news.
Don’t wanna see anybody, especially not you.
Heaven is here, got my tricks and my trade and
Nobody’s gonna take that away.
Chorus:
Gotta ask for it if you really want it.
Gotta think like you’ve already taken it home.
Gotta love it like you’ve already had it alone.
Oh, you’ve gotta hold it like you never have before.
Oh, you’ve gotta hold it like you never have before.
Repeat Chorus

Music
03:58
|

|
It is everywhere, in the house next door.
Drifting thru the windows, coming up from the floor.
Heard overhead, brung from below.
Hear the sound on echo and then fade back into black.
Chorus:
It’s all been said before.
Now we know so much more.
And it can’t be done alone.
We need each other now more than ever.
It is selling you, it is telling you.
Making moments in movies and memories that stay.
Changing and moving, begging you to play.
Hear the sound on echo and then fade back into black.
Chorus:
It’s all been said before.
Now we know so much more.
And it can’t be done alone.
We need each other now more than ever.

Battling the Sun

Battling the Sun, I waste time.
This dream is not only mine.
Just once, lay it down.
Risk everything for the lucky.
Chorus:
With eyes, see the truth.
With heart, feel the love.
With mind, know no fear.
With my time, I am finally here.
Battling the Sun, I waste time.
This dream is not only mine.
Let it go, watch it fly.
Say a word, wave good-bye.
Chorus:
With eyes, see the truth.
With heart feel the love.
With mind, know no fear.
With my time, I am finally here.
