Ski Mantra 04:28
Girl, I was hoping this could be something Girl, I was holding your hands full of gold rings People keep changing, but let’s not change anything Girl, let’s not change anything I know I move slowly When you ask me what it means baby I don’t understand me Just wrap yourself around me Saved the words just for you, more than words could ever do I’ll do anything for you, baby I promise to try Say the words they were true, more than words could ever do I’ll do anything for you, promise I will try People keep changing, but let’s not change anything Girl, let’s not change anything I know I move slowly When you ask me what it means baby I don’t understand me Just wrap your arms around me In recovery at least some of me feels like I’m never there Was it lack of sleep why I never dream? Baby I promise to try Saved the words just for you, more than words could ever do I’ll do anything for you, baby I promise to try Say the words they were true, more than words could ever do I’ll do, I’ll do anything for you, promise I will try Say the words just for you, but more than words could ever do I’ll do anything for you, I promise I will try Saved the words just for you, more than words could ever do I’ll do anything for you, baby I promise to try Say the words they were true, more than words could ever do I’ll do anything for you, I promise I will try Saved the words just for you, more than words could ever do I’ll do, I’ll do anything for you, promise I will try

We Go Faster 03:57
We don’t need a reason Calling all your best friends Tell me what you’re thinking now I can keep a secret Well I don’t know this for much And I’m trying not to think too much But it feels like I could fall And you hold me up with the right words I saw you walking past I sensed it in the dark I’m nervous and I’m wound up tightly Bridge lit your silhouette Lace dress and flower hair Is it too much if I wave goodbye We don’t need a reason Calling all your best friends Tell me what you’re thinking now I can keep a secret Two glasses in my hand Too hard to understand Can we hold it up in the light please? Two cars parked at the dock Hearts and fingers crossed Now I’m sliding back in the car seat Oh I saw you walking past I sensed it in the dark I’m nervous and I’m wound up tightly Bridge lit your silhouette Lace dress and flower hair Is it too much if I wave goodbye We don’t need a reason Calling all your best friends Tell me what you’re thinking now I can keep a secret Pack up your tears Forget the taste of salt in your mouth I heard what you said But you need to shout With both windows down We go faster We don’t need a reason A car pulls up you’re the first to arrive. Tell me what you’re thinking I can keep a secret We don’t need a reason Calling all your best friends Tell me why tell me why I can keep a secret

Winter 03:39
Drove my car into the night Picking songs we’re quite alike Smoke it starts to sting our eyes You took a step, kicked the wine The moon is crooked on the side Lantern ripped we built a fire Our arms are at our sides But I think your hand might fit in mine My heart it races When I think about her My heart it races It races when I think about her It races and this is good It races when I think about her It races, it races Nobody, nobody here besides us Nobody The cold it seeps in through our shoes The time I have goes fast with you Kick the cinders to the stream I lost the winter in a dream And we could stay out until the summer finds us And we could stay out nobody here besides us My heart it races When I think about her My heart it races It races when I think about her I get the feeling that this is good It races when I think about her I get the feeling, I get the feeling It races when I think about her It races and this is good It races when I think about her It races, it races We could stay out until the summer finds us, we could stay out We could stay out until the summer finds us, nobody here besides us We could stay out until the summer finds us, we could stay out we could stay out We could stay out until the summer finds us, nobody here besides us

Don't Forget 04:17
I tell myself that you were thinking just the same as us No one like to be on their own for all the time at once So tell me now what you were thinking no one ever does I don’t like to be on my own Oh, it’s so secret has no one ever seen this place I don’t think I’d know if I’m dreaming Everything would look the same You go tearing off and yet we feel so close We could not have known As time goes it’ll be forever on my mind so We won’t let it go We won’t be alone Two days in airplanes thinking of the two of us I don’t like to be on my own, no one ever does I always remember you your mother’s quiet home Too afraid to use the words I learned I should have though Oh, it’s so secret has no one ever felt this way I don’t think I’d know if I’m dreaming You go tearing off and yet we feel so close We could not have known As time goes it’ll be forever on my mind so We won’t let it go You go tearing off ahead and then we follow We could not have known As time goes it’ll be forever on my mind so We won’t let it go Oh there you go only two days And you see things in a new way

Weekend 03:53
I want it to be real love I could be all you need, you tell me You tell me how you feel love Why don’t you call me, Why don’t you Oh will this week end Been working while we can Working all we can Oh can I see you I reason that I can That it can be I do all I do Cos I just want a real love I do I do I just want to feel love Tell me is it real love I want you to be real love This could be all I need, so you tell me You tell me if you feel this love Why did you call me, Why did you Well it’s the week end Been talking while we can Talking while we can Is it so easy? I reason that it can and that it can be I do all I do Cos I just want a real love I do I do I just want to feel love Tell me is it real love You were right You were right about us You were right You were right about everything you said I should have listened Instead there was that voice in my head I couldn’t quite pronounce things the way you did I should have called you to check Oh you were right about everything You were right about everything I do all I do Cos I just want a real love I do I do I just want to feel love Tell me is it real love
