2000 Miles Apart 03:39
lyrics
buy track
The steel bird flies into Sky Harbor Carrying hopes and dreams, tears and fears We just sit here thinking About how soon it will take you away Wait for my words to reach you But meet my eyes without a second glance We can't pursue what's not there But who's to say you're not always on my mind We're two-thousand miles apart Only millimeters at heart We share our longing as we share each breath Sing with me this chorus We're two-thousand miles apart Only millimeters at heart We share our longing as we share each breath Sing with me this chorus Sing until our final breath I'm so alone without you here, love Knowing our sunrise isn't the same I see the clouds out the window They tell me you're doing okay I'd rather see for myself, anyway We're two-thousand miles apart Only millimeters at heart We share our longing as we share each breath Sing with me this chorus We're two-thousand miles apart Only millimeters at heart We share our longing as we share each breath Sing with me this chorus Sing until our final breath

Ghost of Elysium Past 04:28

Brown-haired and brazen I try not to stare but I'm terrified The sky, emblazoned The angel rays go with her eyes But she's not one to fall And I'm not one to forfeit it all Just say when and I'll go Don't pretend it's not cold Now I'm just part of the hole Now I'm just part of the whole That night - perfection A piece of paradise in whispered dreams Hold tight, life begins This will suffice with hearts on our sleeves To that moment, I'll hold fast Ghost of Elysium Past Just say when and I'll go Don't pretend it's not cold Now I'm just part of the hole Now I'm just part of the whole Just say when and I'll go Don't pretend it's not cold Now I'm just part of the hole Now I'm just part of the whole

Young Love 03:40

Recall a starlit night Recall the glisten in her eyes Recall the first time You said "I love you" And oh, look how you've grown Together, forever Recall a church of smiles Recall it all draped in white Recall the first time You said "I do" And oh, look how you've grown Together, forever Young love is beautiful But what you have is forever Young love is beautiful But what you have is forever, forever Recall the first big fight Recall lying awake that night Recall the first time You said "I forgive you" And oh, look how you've grown Together, forever Young love is beautiful But what you have is forever Young love is beautiful But what you have is forever, forever People sing about silly things Like silly young love in Silly Love Songs But there's something more in a wife Pursued and sought and cared for right It starts with All My Life Recall this morning Waking up next to her again Getting the privilege and chance To say "I love you" again And oh, look how you've grown Together, forever Young love is beautiful But what you have is forever Young love is beautiful But what you have is forever, forever

Paper Cranes 05:14
lyrics

You made me promise not to wait I swear I kept my promise Today But rainy days And skies of gray Keep you cooped up in my head I hoped you'd stay I whisper in undertones I never wanted you to go But deep down, I know I hear your name when the wind blows Paper cranes fly away Rain, rain, come today Make my Love stay I promised you I'd fight I swear I'll keep my promise Tonight But a cool breeze Under a cloudy sky Makes me feel I'm not alone And sends a chill down my spine I sing out as my hear groans I never wanted you to go Still, deep down, I know Your heart goes where solar winds blow Falling stars Light up the dark Together, lonely hearts Strike up a spark Two-thousand things I could say I almost made the mixtape But the lesson I learned that summer Was the crowd goes wild for another bummer Paper cranes Come my way Rain, rain, come today My Love will find a way
