Take me somewhere
take me somewhere, take me somewhere
our fears won’t reach us
take me somewhere, take me somewhere
our fears won’t reach us
we’re not getting older just yet
you dont have to be in your prime yet
you don’t have to be anything you don’t have to be anything you don’t have to be anything yet
take me somewhere, take me somewhere
to throw away all your worries along with mine
tune into the rhythm of my breath
and let us linger here
listen to my whispers, save them
for when you can’t be with me
you don’t have to be anything you don’t have to be anything you don’t have to be anything at all
take me somewhere take me somewhere
we don’t have to be anything you don’t have to be anything
take me somewhere take me somewhere

Moon
do I have to be your moon
do I have to make the tides move
do I have to be your moon would you rather wait
for a divine intervention
‘cause I’m not sure if I would give that responsibility to the sun
I am waiting while holding the line too scared to claim you as mine
your eyes pull me in yet the time passes
the air in-between us is heavy
are you just waiting for me to give in while I try not to swallow my pride
I am waiting while holding the line too scared to claim you as mine
we’re both solitary souls sailing in separate boats but we’re on the same sea
we’re on the deep waters, babe swimming is tough but as least it would make us less lonely
do I have to be your moon
do I

Retrograde
we drive so fast
in our brand new cars admiring the landscapes only from afar
whatever is new will soon be old
oh, how I truly despise
this speed we’re constantly increasing
keep your pace if you must
but retrograde
this won’t last
and i don’t really want to come but oh, you subconsciously know that some change would be freeing
whatever is new will soon be old
oh, how I truly despise
this speed we’re constantly increasing
keep your pace if you must
but retrograde

Woodlands
(inspired by The Song of Hiawatha by H.W Longfellow)
the sun shines on your golden hair your cheek is glowing fresh and fair with flaunting feathers,
we refuse to come down
so I follow you
through the woodlands and the meadows
your eyes are the color of both the sky and trees a mixture of air and wood
I see the sun in your eyes
but I’m not blinded I’m not blinded
do you like the starlight better than the firelight
or do you like the firelight better than the starlight keep telling me tales of wonders
and about the day that never ended

Tonight we’ll dream the same dream
you kiss my cheek and say goodnight a foreshadowing of some other night
I close my eyes to only sense and only think in present tense
tonight I think that we might dream the same dream tonight i think that we might dream the same dream
independent as I am I surrender
to the only company
I like better than my own
tonight I think that we might dream the same dream tonight I think that we might dream the same dream
sometimes we exist in different frequencies of mind but for now I think we should leave it all behind you’ll wake to a safe and familiar view
tomorrow I promise I won’t stray too far from you
tonight I think that we might dream the same dream tonight I think that we might dream the same dream
