Hard to Find

too long and hard to find
i lose you every time x2
i like knowing someone who enjoys the finer things
and it feels like the years stay the same
but that's ok
and i like knowing someone that makes my heart race
in a good way
and i hope this song makes you feel the same thing

Dream Spot
03:00
|

|
i just wish I knew
how to leave this time behind
trouble comes before the storm
i'm left with pieces from my life
forgot my baggage my stairs
i don't feel so good tonight
i'll just try to fall asleep
and dream that i'll be alright
i dreamt i was alone\
is there something i should know?
when i turn my back on you
i find it's easier to love
last year i spent my time awry
tried so hard to close my eyes
my life felt wrapped by broken ties
i bound my house with fragile twine
i'm falling back into the place
i spent my days just looking out
and every time i'd see your face
i'd think if i could greet you now

did i catch you at a bad time
i've been sensing something wrong
and i don't know why
i'm in and out of touch
you're always in a rush
to embrace then leave
i am trying to be brief
but i can barely speak
how do i bring this up
i hate when we say that we're just friends
and there's nothing left
we both know
those words are meaningless
what's the point
we keep each other
at an arms length away
because we're both afraid
and why do we never learn from the past
we're just the choir preaching to an atheist
and we never learned how to digest
just a choir preaching to an atheist

Lake Washington
03:29
|
|||
|
i miss feeling the pacific wind
i left my friends at the shore of lake washington
i swear you could hear the sirens hymn
singing they can't stand but that they could swim
my legs turn to fins as i jump in
the water felt so warm on my amphibian skin
the surface reflects on the creatures within
the depths of the tide turned me back to a man
every cautionary tale
every reflex test i've failed
i love that we're all dust
we're all a piece of nothing
i'm just trying to force my self
to happy and through this life
i seem to hide
every problem that i face

Closer
03:43
|
|||
|
it's getting closer
almost had it
it's getting closer
aeromatic
how many times am i gonna do this
i always crumble when things go right
i've been hitting rewind for a long time
life's been taking swipes at my fragile confidence
i'm here sitting firmly on the line

Printed in Ontario

|

|
the sun is out to take the pain away
but i retain the space to hibernate
we don't choose to leave what we reclaim
the feeling that we had we recreate
i'm back to how i felt on those days
return to what the world can't take away
i love you
the field i used to hold my brother on
the toronto streets my dad would drive us down
we used to dream of swimming in the lake
(ontario! lake ontario! lake ontario! lake ontario! lakeeeee)
my mississauga family i want to thank
i'm back to how i felt on those days
return to what the world can't take away
i love you

Quality
02:23
|
|||
|
i'm at a coffee shop in the district
it's barely 7:30am
i was up late last night drinking
and i was listening to miracle mile again
i wake up at my parent's house
it's barely 7:30am
we were up late last night drinking
now you gotta leave before my parents find out you were here
i hate this lack of quality
that's what happens when faith is all you bring
i'm doing handstands on the street
i'm just trying to get a bite to eat!

Airport Anxiety
02:53
|
|||
|
a journey through the air
a half-lit cigarette
a gameboy in my hand
my parent's looking stressed
this mid-2000s trip
on christmas day we left
the sky it looked so dim
the cold december wind was blowing
a metal bird, a foreign land
we're doing this *beat* again
is this the trend, we touch, confess
because we're not friends, we're something else
you jumped in before you knew how to swim
i left home before i knew how to live

Cascades
03:00
|
|||
|
i stopped looking when i stopped trying
have you got the time when you're looking down
lost my grip when i saw the skyline
disappear into the background
the cascades feel cold from miles up
they sweep the landscape with distrust
the ice melts and condenses on my foam cup
the flight attendant refills my coke and rum
a rebel has the face and name
of a ghost who's past is filled with displacement
and lives so far away don't carry the same weight
a sparrow does a figure eight
and alaska's fate is still undecided
a man who had an illness disturbingly
fades away
because i'm half dressed, all alone
running through this bloody town
no one looks at me now
i've been gone too long
mistimed gestures via mobile phone
all the days i stumbled over my tongue
half step around, i won't ever make a sound
i just wanna say, more of me grow everyday
watching you fade into that opaque haze
was the best and worst of all my days

Heart Attack
02:44
|
|||
|
you and yourself by your lonesome
me and myself stuck with the gun
my tears retract, fears stay intact
tear me apart my heart attack
here is my line keep me in touch
lord knows i want to feel loved
time and space, wasted
you were impatient, we waited
"i missed you," he said, just say it
let's just repeat the same thing
the water's getting higher by the day now
and we might all be fine
jump in deep and with the tide now
i might take the day swim across miami bay
i don't want a dinner date with Poseidon
gaining inches every year
losing time the end is near
