\"Whatnot<\/p>\n

Whatnot<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

From the album “Whatnot<\/a>“<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatnot<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nCoffee cup rings on the table
\nHalf a thought hanging our fable
\nKeys on the table, shoes by the door
\nSomething I meant to say before<\/p>\n

Old guitar leaning by the wall
\nPictures crooked in the hall
\nA hundred little pieces in the light
\nAll the random things that make it right<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nBits and pieces, scraps and dreams
\nNothing\u2019s ever what it seems
\nBroken plans and tangled knots
\nLife is made of whatnots<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSay what?
\n(This is whatnot)
\nOh that\u2026
\n(Almost forgot)
\nWhatnot
\nLittle things we never got
\n(Whatnot)
\nEverything and all the rest
\n(Whatnot)
\nThe mess we somehow love the best<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nTicket stubs and old receipts
\nDusty books and tangled sheets
\nWords we said and words we lost
\nWondering what they might have cost<\/p>\n

Rusty bike out in the rain
\nA melody stuck in my brain
\nPieces of a life half done
\nStill shining in the afternoon sun<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nOdds and ends and afterthoughts
\nAll the things that can\u2019t be bought
\nEvery crack and every spot
\nThat\u2019s the beauty of whatnot<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSay what?
\n(This is whatnot)
\nOh that\u2026
\n(Almost forgot)
\nWhatnot
\nAll the little maybes caught
\n(Whatnot)
\nEverything we left to rot
\n(Whatnot)
\nStill matters more than what we thought<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nMaybe life\u2019s not meant to fit
\nNeatly in a box somewhere
\nMaybe all the scattered bits
\nAre the reason that we care<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nSay what?
\n(This is whatnot)
\nOh that\u2026
\n(Almost forgot)
\nWhatnot
\nTiny pieces tied in knots
\n(Whatnot)
\nAll the little things we\u2019re not
\n(Whatnot)
\nEverything we have and haven\u2019t got<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSay what?
\n(This is whatnot)
\nOh that\u2026
\n(Almost forgot)
\nWhatnot
\n(Whatnot)<\/p>\n

Do the Other Things<\/h2>\n

[Spoken Intro]
\n\u201cWe choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things,
\nnot because they are easy,
\nbut because they are hard\u201d
\n[Low Drone, Heartbeat Percussion]
\n[Build: Synth Arpeggio Rising]<\/p>\n

September sky
\nTo the moon\u2026 gonna try
\nThough success is unsure
\nLooking toward the future<\/p>\n

We know\u2026
\nTo choose to go
\nNot because it\u2019s easy
\nNot because it\u2019s safe
\nBut because it\u2019s hard<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSmoke in the air from the launchpad flame
\nEvery generation wants to leave its name
\nDreamers and engineers working through the night
\nTrying to turn the dark into light<\/p>\n

Blueprints scattered across the floor
\nLooking for a world we\u2019ve never seen before
\nSteel and fire, sweat and wings
\nAll because of impossible things<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery step begins with doubt
\nEvery whisper turns into a shout
\nEvery road is rough before it sings
\nThat\u2019s why we do the other things<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLet\u2019s go to the moon
\n(And do the other things)
\nOur time must be coming soon\u2026
\n(See what tomorrow brings)
\nLet\u2019s climb higher than we\u2019ve ever been
\n(Open the sky and let the future in)
\nLet\u2019s go to the moon
\n(And do the other things)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nKids in the backyard staring at the stars
\nDreaming beyond the fences and the cars
\nOne day they\u2019ll build what we can\u2019t yet see
\nA bridge from the earth to eternity<\/p>\n

New machines and satellites
\nSignals in the endless night
\nScience moving mountain chains
\nThrough all the losses and the gains<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery answer starts unknown
\nEvery empire starts with stone
\nEvery bell before it rings
\nHas to do the other things<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLet\u2019s go to the moon
\n(And do the other things)
\nOur time must be coming soon\u2026
\n(See what tomorrow brings)
\nLet\u2019s chase the edge of what can be
\nTurn our fears into discovery
\nLet\u2019s go to the moon
\n(And do the other things)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot because it\u2019s easy
\nNot because it\u2019s near
\nBut because the hardest roads
\nAre the reason we are here<\/p>\n

To build
\nTo learn
\nTo rise
\nTo reach
\nTo teach<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nLet\u2019s go to the moon
\n(And do the other things)
\nOur time must be coming soon\u2026
\n(See what tomorrow brings)
\nLet\u2019s leave the shadows far behind
\n(Put one more dream into mankind)
\nLet\u2019s go to the moon
\n(And do the other things)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nDo the hard things
\nDo the brave things
\nDo the other things
\nSee what adventure brings<\/p>\n

About the Song
\nThe quote, \u201cWe choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard,\u201d was delivered by President John F. Kennedy at Rice University on September 12, 1962. It aimed to inspire the nation to lead in space exploration, technology, and science.<\/p>\n

Junk Drawer<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nYou call this the junk drawer?
\nAre you sure?
\n(There\u2019s so much more)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nOld keys to a door that\u2019s gone
\nAn expired credit card
\nSoft taffy that\u2019s gone hard
\nMatchbook cover that\u2019s hand-drawn<\/p>\n

Rubber bands and loose guitar picks
\nTiny screws and candle sticks
\nBroken watch and mystery wire
\nJust takes a while to admire<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nYou see clutter
\nI see what\u2019s better
\nEvery little thing\u2019s got something at heart
\nIf you know where to start<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nYou call this junk?
\nAre you sure?
\n(I call it treasure)<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s funk
\nFusion to explore
\n(\u2026 and so much more)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nTicket stubs from years ago
\nTiny lock with nowhere to go
\nPicture frame without the glass
\nOld notes from driver\u2019s class<\/p>\n

Pocket knife that lost a blade
\nBirthday card that someone made
\nHalf a map and copper wire
\nLots of things that spark a fire<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\nSome of this
\nKnow what it is
\n(Some of that)
\nWhat?<\/p>\n

Some old dreams
\nSome old parts
\nHalf of belong to broken hearts<\/p>\n

Some of this
\nMight still shine
\nIf you give it just a little time<\/p>\n

[Instrumental \u2013 Extended Jam]
\n[Synth Lead Duel with Guitar]
\n[Drums Double-Time, Organ Glide]<\/p>\n

[Verse 3]
\nBottle caps and mystery coins
\nTiny gears and tangled joins
\nPostcard from a distant place
\nOld blue ribbon, worn shoelace<\/p>\n

Dusty things you threw away
\nStill got something left to say
\nEvery drawer and every shelf
\nHolds a little piece of self<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nYou call this junk?
\nAre you sure?
\n(I call it treasure)<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s funk
\nFusion to explore
\n(\u2026 and so much more)<\/p>\n

You call this junk?
\nNo, no way
\n(It only gets better)<\/p>\n

Maybe one day
\nYou\u2019ll see it my way
\n(\u2026 and keep it forever)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nYou call this junk?
\nAre you sure?
\n(\u2026 but there\u2019s so much more)<\/p>\n

Spare Parts for Broken Hearts<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nDo you have any\u2026
\nSpare parts for broken hearts?<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nI kept the pieces in a box
\nUnder old letters and lost key locks
\nA photograph, a wedding ring
\nAll the traces of everything<\/p>\n

The engine stopped, the lights went dark
\nSilence settled through the spark
\nI searched the floor and every shelf
\nTrying to put back part of myself<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nThere must be something left to save
\nSomething hiding in the wreckage and the waves<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhat once was whole
\n(Now has a hole)
\nNow once beat sound
\n(Can not be found)<\/p>\n

Pieces gone cold
\n(Stories untold)
\nHands reaching out
\n(But filled with doubt)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nEvery memory leaves a scar
\nEvery goodbye leaves you where you are
\nSome nights feel like rust and rain
\nSome wounds never lose their pain<\/p>\n

But maybe somewhere deep inside
\nA little fire still survives
\nWaiting for the hands that care
\nTo find the missing pieces there<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nThere must be more than shattered glass
\nMore than ghosts and shadows from the past<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWhat once was whole
\n(Now has a hole)
\nNow once beat sound
\n(Can not be found)<\/p>\n

Pieces gone cold
\n(Stories untold)
\nHands reaching out
\n(But filled with doubt)<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\nDo you have any\u2026
\nSpare parts for broken hearts?<\/p>\n

Some tiny spring
\nSome missing gear
\nSomething to make the feeling reappear<\/p>\n

Do you have any\u2026
\nSpare parts for broken hearts?<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWhat once was whole
\n(Now has a hole)
\nNow once beat sound
\n(Can not be found)<\/p>\n

But somewhere still
\n(Beyond the dark)
\nA broken machine
\n(Can still restart)<\/p>\n

What once was whole
\n(Can still be whole)
\nA fading spark
\n(Can still ignite)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n[Heartbeat Percussion, Fading Guitar, Electric Piano Chords]
\nDo you have any\u2026
\nSpare parts for broken hearts?<\/p>\n

Twisting in the Wind<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nSomething broke in the space between
\nWords we said and what they mean
\nNow the air feels sharp and thin
\nLike a storm that\u2019s closing in<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nPromises hang like tangled lines
\nPulled too tight too many times
\nEvery step we used to know
\nSlips away and moves too slow<\/p>\n

I reach out but nothing stays
\nJust echoes of the better days
\nAnd every path I try to take
\nFeels like one more thing I break<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nWe built it up, then watched it fall
\nStill pretending we felt it all
\nBut silence speaks the loudest truth
\nIn the ruins of our youth<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nInsisting on twisting?
\nStill resisting, still insisting<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAfter all we\u2019ve been
\n(I\u2019m left to twist in the wind)
\nPlease can\u2019t you see
\n(All that we can be)<\/p>\n

After all we\u2019ve lost and won
\n(The damage that we\u2019ve become)
\nStill I wait where you begin
\n(Just twisting in the wind)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nEvery memory cuts a thread
\nOf things we never really said
\nNow the distance feels so wide
\nLike a tide we can\u2019t divide<\/p>\n

You and I, a fractured line
\nRunning out of borrowed time
\nEvery word we didn\u2019t choose
\nLeft us both\u2026 with nothing to lose
\n(Lose\u2026 lose\u2026.)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nNo more shelter from the rain
\nNo more hiding from the pain
\nOnly fragments in the air
\nOf a love we used to share<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAfter all we\u2019ve been
\n(I\u2019m left to twist in the wind)
\nPlease can\u2019t you see
\n(All that we can be)<\/p>\n

After all that\u2019s come undone
\n(We\u2019re still orbiting the sun)
\nLost between what might have been
\n(Still twisting in the wind)<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\nInsisting on twisting?
\nStill existing in this distance<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nAfter all we\u2019ve been
\n(I\u2019m left to twist in the wind)
\nPlease can\u2019t you see
\n(All that we can be)<\/p>\n

After all we\u2019ve lost and found
\n(Still spinning \u2019round and \u2019round)
\nNothing left to recommend
\n(Just twisting in the wind)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nInsisting on twisting\u2026
\nStill existing\u2026
\nTwisting\u2026 in the wind\u2026
\n(Been\u2026 wind\u2026 been in the wind)<\/p>\n

Nevertheless<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nEverybody says they know
\n(Yet every which way they go)
\nEverybody says they\u2019re sure
\n(All about our future)
\nEverybody talks in circles
\n(In a distorted mess)
\nNevertheless\u2026<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nPeople read a headline fast
\nTurn a rumor into fact
\nNever stop to ask a question
\nNever check what they lack<\/p>\n

Truth gets buried under noise
\nShouting louder than the rest
\nConfidence without the knowledge
\nStill gets treated like the best<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nFacts are sitting in plain sight
\nStill ignored day after day
\nEverybody sees the warning
\nBut they always look away<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThe reality is easy to see
\n(Nevertheless)
\nSociety universally
\n(Remains clueless)<\/p>\n

The answers stand in front of us all
\n(Nevertheless)
\nWe keep pretending we are ten feet tall
\n(And so foolish)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSome believe what they want most
\nSome repeat what they were told
\nSome mistake a loud opinion
\nFor a truth they can hold<\/p>\n

The science sits there on the page
\nThe numbers line up in a row
\nStill they act surprised tomorrow
\nBy the things they should already know<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery problem leaves a trail
\nEvery warning leaves a sign
\nBut excuses keep on growing
\nWhile we run out of time<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThe reality is easy to see
\n(Nevertheless)
\nSociety universally
\n(Remains clueless)<\/p>\n

The evidence is all around
\n(Nevertheless)
\nStill we keep our heads down
\n(So useless)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWake up to rationality
\n(Come on\u2026 really)<\/p>\n

Wake up to cause and effect
\n(Before we regret it)<\/p>\n

Wake up to what is true
\n(And what we already knew)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nThe reality is easy to see
\n(Nevertheless)
\nSociety universally
\n(Remains clueless)<\/p>\n

The clock is ticking endlessly
\n(Nevertheless)
\nStill we drift collectively
\n(Through the madness)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nEverybody says they know
\n(Yet don\u2019t know the word no)
\nEverybody says they\u2019re sure
\n(All about our future)
\nEverybody talks in circles
\n(Compounding the world\u2019s stress)
\nNevertheless\u2026
\n(Less, less, less)<\/p>\n

Non-Nonsense<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nListen close, pay attention
\nNo filler, no distraction
\nOh, know no\u2026
\n(Non-nonsense)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nEvery word counts, every step measured
\nNo room for lies, no thoughtless pleasure
\nTruth cuts through like a razor blade
\nClear your mind, don\u2019t be swayed<\/p>\n

Facts stacked high, logic intact
\nKeep your focus, don\u2019t react
\nNoise surrounds, but you stand firm
\nLessons learned from every turn<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nSee the world without disguise
\n(No hype. No lies.)
\nRead between the empty lines
\n(Not their cries and whines)
\nNothing wasted, nothing fake
\n(Not no give\u2026 just take, take, take)
\nKnow your stance before you break<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, know no
\n(Non-nonsense)
\nYou\u2019ve gotta know
\n(The circumstance)<\/p>\n

Clear the clutter, cut the fluff
\n(Non-nonsense)
\nDon\u2019t get lost when times get rough
\n(The circumstance)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nNo more guessing, no more haze
\nMake your moves, set your pace
\nEvery detail matters, every clue
\nStep with purpose in what you do<\/p>\n

Question everything, trust your eyes
\nFilter truth from all the lies
\nNothing wasted, everything aligned
\nKeep it simple, keep it refined<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nSee the world without disguise
\n(No hype. No lies.)
\nRead between the empty lines
\n(Not their cries and whines)
\nNothing wasted, nothing fake
\n(Not no give\u2026 just take, take, take)
\nKnow your stance before you break<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, know no
\n(Non-nonsense)
\nYou\u2019ve gotta know
\n(The circumstance)<\/p>\n

Clear the clutter, cut the fluff
\n(Non-nonsense)
\nDon\u2019t get lost when times get rough
\n(The circumstance)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNo illusions, no delay
\nKeep your head, find your way
\nCut the noise, see the truth
\nNon-nonsense is the proof<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nOh, know no
\n(Non-nonsense)
\nYou\u2019ve gotta know
\n(The circumstance)<\/p>\n

Clear the clutter, cut the fluff
\n(Non-nonsense)
\nStand your ground when times get rough
\n(The circumstance)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nListen close, pay attention
\n(Make an attempt at retention)
\nOh, know no\u2026
\n(Non-nonsense)
\nKnow<\/p>\n

The Rabbit Hole<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nStep by step
\nOne path bends into another
\nGoing down\u2026
\n(The rabbit hole)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nShadows flicker on the wall
\nEvery turn reveals it all
\nMirrors twisting, floors collide
\nReality\u2019s edge is hard to hide<\/p>\n

Questions echo in the dark
\nWhispers leave a tiny mark
\nEvery answer spawns two more
\nPulling deeper than before<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nGoing down, down, down
\n(The rabbit hole)
\nGoing down, down, down
\n(Seeking whole)
\nGoing down<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSpinning thoughts, a tangled maze
\nTime dissolves in endless haze
\nFaces blur, the colors blend
\nEvery path has no clear end<\/p>\n

Curiosity, the only guide
\nThrough the chaos we can\u2019t hide
\nEvery secret, every lie
\nDraws you further, asking why<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nStep inside and lose your grip
\nReality begins to slip
\nEvery layer, every role
\nLeads you further down the hole<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nGoing down, down, down
\n(The rabbit hole)
\nGoing down, down, down
\n(Seeking whole)
\nGoing down<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\nTwist and turn, can\u2019t look back
\nEvery corner is a trap
\nWhat you find may not be kind
\nBut still you follow, still you mind<\/p>\n

[Verse 3]
\nNothing\u2019s what it seems to be
\nEvery truth has a degree
\nEvery choice creates a thread
\nLeading further where you dread<\/p>\n

Yet the thrill keeps pulling near
\nThe unknown both tempts and sears
\nEvery step is a story told
\nGoing deeper than the cold<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nGoing down, down, down
\n(The rabbit hole)
\nGoing down, down, down
\n(Seeking whole)
\nGoing down<\/p>\n

Going down, down, down
\n(Through the unknown)
\nGoing down, down, down
\n(Into your own)
\nGoing down<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nStep by step, the path unfolds
\nInto the depths of the rabbit hole<\/p>\n

Dark Side of the Moon<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nOrbit drifting, signal fades
\nHalf-lit Earth in bluish haze
\nTurning slow through silent skies
\nReflections in astronaut eyes<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWe left the ground in burning light
\nCut through the blue into the night
\nEvery heartbeat counting time
\nQuasi-vacuum so divine<\/p>\n

Earth below like fragile glass
\nAll our futures, all our pasts
\nFloating weightless, side by side
\nIn the dark where secrets hide<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Rising Synth, Snare Build, Organ Layer]
\nEvery mile removes the noise
\nEvery silence steals our voice
\nStill we reach through endless sea
\nFor what we are and what could be<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCan we fit all of us
\n(On this Artemis?)
\nYou, you, and you
\n(On the Artemis 2, too)
\n\u2026 me and you?<\/p>\n

Can we stretch the human line
\n(Beyond the edge of space and time)
\nHold the dream and make it true
\n(On Artemis, me and you)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSee you soon\u2026
\n(On the dark side of the moon)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nStations hum in orbit\u2019s glow
\nWhere does \u201chome\u201d begin to go?
\nEvery face behind a visor glass
\nWondering how long we last<\/p>\n

We carry oceans in our chest
\nAll the hopes we never rest
\nWeightless bodies, grounded minds
\nSearching for the ties that bind<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery orbit shifts our view
\nRedefines the old and new
\nStill the question stays with me
\nHow many souls can space set free?<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCan we fit all of us
\n(On this Artemis?)
\nYou, you, and you
\n(On the Artemis 2, too)
\n\u2026 me and you?<\/p>\n

Can we hold the human thread
\nWithout the fear of what lies ahead
\nIn the void where dreams come through
\nOn Artemis, me and you<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSee you soon\u2026
\n(On the dark side of the moon)
\nSolar eclipse
\n(Can\u2019t miss this)
\n\u2026 on the Artemis\u2026.<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nDark side calling, no reply
\nJust the turning of the sky
\nWe are small but we are loud
\nLost inside a cosmic cloud<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nCan we fit all of us
\n(On this Artemis?)
\nYou, you, and you
\n(On the Artemis 2, too)
\n\u2026 me and you?<\/p>\n

If we can, then let it be
\nA shared humanity in the sea
\nOf endless night and breaking blue
\nOn Artemis, me and you<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSee you soon\u2026
\n(On the dark side of the moon)
\nLike a howling loon
\n(There is no dark side of the moon)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nDark side drifting out of view
\nStill wondering if we\u2019ll make it through
\nMe and you\u2026
\nMe and you\u2026
\nSee you soon\u2026
\n(On the dark side of the moon)<\/p>\n

Like a howling loon
\n(There is no dark side of the moon)
\nAs a matter of fact
\n(It\u2019s all dark\u2026 and stark)
\nBut you can see the Earth-shine
\n(And, it\u2019s oh so fine)<\/p>\n

Something Else<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nFor a while I stayed the same
\nLiving underneath a name
\nBut something shifted in the air
\nLike I finally noticed I was there<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nI wore the shape they gave to me
\nBent around what I should be
\nEvery mirror, every sign
\nTold me not to cross the line<\/p>\n

But little cracks began to show
\nPlaces I was scared to go
\nEvery doubt, every scar
\nPointed me to who we are<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nI was drifting in a shell
\nTrying not to feel too much
\nThen the walls around me fell
\nWhen I finally lost my crutch<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFinally I can see
\n(Something else)
\nFinally I can be
\n(Something else)<\/p>\n

More than what they wanted from me
\n(More than what they tried to sell)
\nWell\u2026 finally I can breathe
\n(Something else does relieve)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nAll the roads I never took
\nEvery rule I overlooked
\nEvery dream I hid away
\nComes alive another day<\/p>\n

Now the colors feel more bright
\nNow the shadows feel more light
\nEvery step I thought I\u2019d fear
\nFeels a bit better here<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nI was living underground
\nHalf asleep and half unknown
\nNow I hear a different sound
\nLike I\u2019m finally coming home<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFinally I can see
\n(Something else)
\nFinally I can be
\n(Something else)<\/p>\n

More than what they thought I\u2019d be
\n(More than what they thought as well)
\nFinally we can live freely
\n(Something else)
\nFeel as the cold hearts melt<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nMaybe we are not one thing
\nMaybe we are meant to change
\nMaybe every ending brings
\nSomething beautiful and strange<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nFinally I can see
\n(Something else)
\nFinally I can be
\n(Something else)<\/p>\n

More than what they wanted from me
\n(More than what they tried to sell)
\nFinally I believe
\n(Something else)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nFinally I can see\u2026
\nSomething else
\nFinally I can be\u2026
\nSomething else<\/p>\n

Spring-Summer<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSunlight stretching through the trees
\nSoft warm air and a gentle breeze
\nWindows open, music loud
\nShaking off that winter cloud
\n(Sing it out loud!)<\/p>\n

Sidewalk cracks with dandelions
\nKids outside just riding on
\nEvery color coming through
\nLike the world feels something new
\n(Find the love you knew)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLong nights finally fade away
\nCold gray skies turn into day
\nEvery little thing feels right
\nStepping back into the light<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s that time of season
\n(Don\u2019t need a reason)
\nGot over the winter blues
\n(Happy to hear the good news)
\nInto spring-summer
\n(No, no longer a bummer)
\nFeel it in everything we do
\n(All brand new)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nPorch lights glowing after dusk
\nFireflies and that summer musk
\nOld songs playing down the street
\nBarefoot dancing in the heat
\n(Dancing to the beat)<\/p>\n

Ice cream dripping, laughing loud
\nNo more hiding in a crowd
\nEvery moment feels like gold
\nSimple stories being told
\n(Feeling young not growing old)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTime slows down but moves so fast
\nTrying hard to make it last
\nEvery second sings a tune
\nUnderneath a rising moon<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s that time of season
\n(Don\u2019t need a reason)
\nGot over the winter blues
\n(Happy to hear the good news)
\nInto spring-summer
\n(No, no longer a bummer)
\nEvery sky a brighter blue
\n(Nothing to lose)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nMaybe it\u2019s the way we change
\nOr maybe nothing stays the same
\nBut after every frozen night
\nComes a flood of warmth and light<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s that time of season
\n(Don\u2019t need a reason)
\nGot over the winter blues
\n(Happy to hear the good news)
\nInto spring-summer
\n(No, no longer a bummer)
\nHold on to the feeling too
\n(It\u2019s me and you)<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

Into spring-summer
\nNo, no longer a bummer
\nInto spring-summer
\nFeels like coming back to life
\n(And arrive alive)<\/p>\n

Miscellaneous<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nEverything that doesn\u2019t fit
\n(Slightly off\u2026 just a bit)
\nEverything they can\u2019t explain
\n(Or can\u2019t quite seem to name)
\nThrown into another pile
\n(Or turned into a smile?)
\nMaybe that\u2019s where the magic came
\n(Not all being just the same)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nOld ideas and crooked lines
\nDifferent thoughts and stranger minds
\nEvery person, every face
\nLooking for their little place<\/p>\n

Some stand out and some blend in
\nSome wear joy beneath their skin
\nSome are quiet, some are loud
\nTrying to rise above the crowd<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nAll the things they call too strange
\nAre the things that make us change
\nEvery color, every doubt
\nIs what being alive\u2019s about<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nMaybe each of us
\n(Is miscellaneous)
\nA bit different in and out
\n(Find it\u2026 and shout about)<\/p>\n

Maybe every little flaw
\n(Is what makes us fabulous)
\nEvery hidden part inside
\n(Is mysterious to us)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nBoxes never fit us right
\nLabels fade in different light
\nEvery story bends and turns
\nEvery heart still twists and burns<\/p>\n

You can spend your life pretending
\nOr embrace the strange beginning
\nAll the parts you hide away
\nMight be what saves the day<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nWhat they call unusual
\nMight be what is beautiful
\nEvery crack and every seam
\nCould become a bigger dream<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nMaybe each of us
\n(Is miscellaneous)
\nA bit different in and out
\n(Find it\u2026 and shout about)<\/p>\n

Maybe every little flaw
\n(Is what makes us fabulous)
\nEvery hidden part inside
\n(Is mysterious to us)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot broken
\nNot less
\nNot something to suppress<\/p>\n

Different rhythms
\nDifferent routes
\nDifferent voices breaking out<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nMaybe each of us
\n(Is miscellaneous)
\nA bit different in and out
\n(Find it\u2026 and shout about)<\/p>\n

Maybe being who we are
\n(Is the whole point of all of this)
\nEvery strange and shining part
\n(Is miraculous)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nEverything that doesn\u2019t fit
\n(Might be where the magic is)
\nDon\u2019t give up\u2026 never quit
\n(Miscellaneous and miraculous)<\/p>\n

Beyond Diddly<\/h2>\n

[Intro, Spoken Word]
\nOh, no, not whatnot
\n(Take a listen to what we got)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStarted with a whisper and a joke gone wrong
\nLittle bit of nothing but it tagged along
\nPeople kept saying \u201cthat\u2019s all you got?\u201d
\nBut we kept cooking in a bigger pot<\/p>\n

From a spark to a flame to a neon glow
\nTook a hard left turn from the same old road
\nThey tried to box it in, tried to make it small
\nBut it broke right through every single wall<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nCall it this, call it that
\nBut it\u2019s more than a label you\u2019re looking at
\nEvery step, every twist
\nTurned a maybe into this<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBeyond diddly
\n(No not squat)
\nOh, no, no, no
\n(This ain\u2019t Bo)
\nIt\u2019s so much more
\n(Than came before)
\nClearly\u2026
\n(Beyond diddly)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThey said keep it simple, keep it tight and neat
\nBut it spilled right over into something sweet
\nEvery odd little piece found a place to land
\nNow it\u2019s bigger than we ever planned<\/p>\n

From the back of a napkin to a grand design
\nEvery crooked little note fell into line
\nIt\u2019s the chaos, the color, the beautiful mess
\nThat turns \u201cjust okay\u201d into \u201cnothing less\u201d<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nStretch it out, let it breathe
\nMore than what you thought you\u2019d need
\nEvery doubt that you forgot
\nTurned into a stronger plot<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBeyond diddly
\n(No not squat)
\nOh, no, no, no
\n(This ain\u2019t Bo)
\nIt\u2019s so much more
\n(Than came before)
\nClearly\u2026
\n(Beyond diddly)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot just bits and broken parts
\nNot just noise and restless hearts
\nIt\u2019s the leap, it\u2019s the climb
\nIt\u2019s the rhythm out of time<\/p>\n

Take the small and let it grow
\nWay past anything you know
\nWhat began as just a thought
\nNow it\u2019s everything it\u2019s not<\/p>\n

[Breakdown Chorus]
\nBeyond diddly\u2026
\n(Feel it grow)
\nNot just echoes\u2026
\n(Let it show)
\nEvery limit we outran
\nWas just part of a bigger plan<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nBeyond diddly
\n(No not squat)
\nOh, no, no, no
\n(This ain\u2019t Bo)
\nIt\u2019s so much more
\n(Than came before)
\nClearly\u2026
\n(Beyond diddly)<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

Beyond\u2026 beyond\u2026
\nNot what you thought
\nBeyond\u2026 beyond\u2026
\nEverything you forgot<\/p>\n

(Beyond diddly)
\nBeyond\u2026
\n(On and on and on)<\/p>\n

Gangbusters<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nKicked the door with a thunder sound
\nFeet hit fire, never backing down
\nLights flash bright, hear the engines roar
\nWe came for one, but we wanted more<\/p>\n

Clock strikes loud, feel the pressure rise
\nNo second guess, no compromise
\nHeat in the air, sparks in the wires
\nRunning this thing like it\u2019s all on fire<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nFeel the rush, don\u2019t hesitate
\nHit the gas, accelerate
\nAll or nothing, take your shot
\nGive it everything you got<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nGoing, going, going
\n(Gone)
\nKnowing the song
\n(Sing along:)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nGang! (Busters)
\nYou rang?
\n(Gang!) Busters
\n(You sang)
\nGang! (Busters)
\nTurn it up, let\u2019s bring the thunder
\n(Gang!) Busters
\nTake it over, tear it asunder<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nCrowd jumps in, now the floor\u2019s alive
\nEnergy hits like a high-voltage drive
\nHands in the air, voices collide
\nNo place left where we can hide<\/p>\n

Neon nights and electric days
\nCaught in a wild, unstoppable blaze
\nEvery move like a lightning strike
\nRiding the edge of what we like<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nPush it past the breaking line
\nEvery second, every time
\nNo regrets, no looking back
\nFull-speed living on the track<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nGoing, going, going
\n(Gone)
\nKnowing the song
\n(Sing along:)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nGang! (Busters)
\nYou rang?
\n(Gang!) Busters
\n(You sang)
\nGang! (Busters)
\nFeel the rhythm pulling tighter
\n(Gang!) Busters
\nBurn it brighter, higher, higher<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\n(Clap\u2014Clap\u2014Stomp)
\nFeel it build, don\u2019t let it drop
\n(Clap\u2014Clap\u2014Stomp)
\nTake it straight up to the top<\/p>\n

Call and response, side to side
\nLet the whole world hear our cry<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Extended]
\nGoing, going, going
\n(Gone)
\nKnowing the song
\n(Sing along:)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nGang! (Busters)
\nYou rang?
\n(Gang!) Busters
\n(You sang)
\nGang! (Busters)
\nShout it loud, no going under
\n(Gang!) Busters
\nWe\u2019re the storm, we\u2019re the thunder<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

Gang! (Busters)
\nGang! (Busters)
\nGang! (Busters)<\/p>\n

(Gone)<\/p>\n

Lost and Found<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nEmpty pockets, crowded mind
\nSearching for what\u2019s hard to find
\nNames and faces fade away
\nLike they never meant to stay<\/p>\n

Footsteps echo down the hall
\nAnswering no one when I call
\nEvery turn I take feels wrong
\nLike I\u2019ve been drifting far too long<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nBut somewhere in the static air
\nA signal hums, I swear it\u2019s there
\nA fragile thread I almost missed
\nPulling me back into this<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLost (a chord)
\nLost (accord)
\nLost (all around)
\nLost (and found)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nBroken maps and faded ink
\nStanding right there on the brink
\nEvery exit looks the same
\nEvery door forgets my name<\/p>\n

But in the quiet I can hear
\nA rhythm cutting through the fear
\nSomething steady, something real
\nA truth I almost didn\u2019t feel<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLike a spark beneath the snow
\nLike a place I used to know
\nEvery fragment starts to mend
\nTelling me I\u2019ll find the end<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLost (a chord)
\nLost (accord)
\nLost (all around)
\nLost (and found)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nFound (the sound)
\nBound (to rebound)
\nComing (back along)
\nComing (back strong)<\/p>\n

[Verse 3]
\nPieces lift off from the ground
\nSpinning into something found
\nEvery scar begins to glow
\nIn the places pain once showed<\/p>\n

What was gone is not erased
\nOnly waiting in its place
\nEvery wrong turns into right
\nIn the turning of the night<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nLost (a chord)
\nLost (accord)
\nLost (all around)
\nLost (and found)<\/p>\n

Found (the sound)
\nFound (the ground)
\nLost no more
\n(Unlike before)
\nLost no more<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

Lost\u2026 and found\u2026
\nLost\u2026 and found\u2026
\nEverything comes back around
\n(Around and found)<\/p>\n

Wadda Ya Wanna Do?<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nWhat do you want to do?
\n(I don\u2019t know. What do you want to do?)
\nI don\u2019t know\u2026 that\u2019s why I\u2019m asking you<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nMidnight ticking on the wall
\nNo real plan, no plan at all
\nShoes half on, keys in hand
\nLaughing like we understand<\/p>\n

Every option left unmade
\nEvery choice begins to fade
\nBut it doesn\u2019t matter where we go
\nAs long as we don\u2019t say no<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nFlip a coin or roll the dice
\nEvery wrong will still feel right
\nStanding on the edge of \u201cwho knew?\u201d
\nWaiting on a move from you<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWadda ya wanna do?
\n(Don\u2019t care\u2026 as long as it\u2019s with you)
\nWadda ya wanna do?
\n(Time share\u2026 right along side of you)<\/p>\n

Wadda ya wanna say?
\n(Anything\u2026 I\u2019ll go your way)
\nWadda ya wanna be?
\n(Doesn\u2019t matter\u2026 long as you\u2019re with me)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nDrive until the road runs thin
\nTurn around, do it again
\nRadio plays a random song
\nSomehow we both sing along<\/p>\n

Every turn a different scene
\nLiving in the in-between
\nNo destination, no excuse
\nJust two hearts cut loose<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery second feels brand new
\nEvery maybe turning true
\nDoesn\u2019t matter where it leads
\nOnly thing we really need<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nWadda ya wanna do?
\n(Don\u2019t care\u2026 as long as it\u2019s with you)
\nWadda ya wanna do?
\n(Time share\u2026 right along side of you)<\/p>\n

Wadda ya wanna chase?
\n(Any dream\u2026 any place)
\nWadda ya wanna find?
\n(Anything\u2026 you are divine)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nMaybe we don\u2019t need a plan
\n(Maybe that\u2019s the better hand)
\nLet it drift, let it ride
\n(No more reasons left to hide)<\/p>\n

Take the long way, take it slow
\n(Or hit the gas and let it go)
\nEvery question fades away
\n(When we\u2019re living day to day)<\/p>\n

What do you want to do?
\n(I still don\u2019t know\u2026)
\nYeah\u2026 me neither\u2026
\n(But I\u2019m done with this breather)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nWadda ya wanna do?
\n(Don\u2019t care\u2026 as long as it\u2019s with you)
\nWadda ya wanna do?
\n(Time share\u2026 right along side of you)<\/p>\n

Wadda ya wanna try?
\n(Anything\u2026 let\u2019s just drive)
\nWadda ya wanna prove?
\n(Nothing at all\u2026 we\u2019ve got nothing to lose)<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

Wadda ya wanna do\u2026
\n(All with you\u2026)
\nWadda ya wanna do\u2026
\n(Share the love with you)<\/p>\n

[Final Shout]
\nLet\u2019s just\u2026 go\u2026
\n(Go! Go! Go!)<\/p>\n

Going Out<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nKeys in hand, engines hum
\nNight is young, here we come
\nNeon flickers down the street
\nFeel the rhythm in our feet<\/p>\n

No more walls, no more doubt
\nTonight\u2019s the night we\u2019re breaking out
\nEvery worry left behind
\nOnly freedom on our mind<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nHeartbeat racing, lights collide
\nNo more reason left to hide
\nEvery step a spark ignites
\nWe\u2019re alive in city lights<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWe\u2019re about
\n(To go out)
\nOut in the wild
\n(Disturbed and riled)<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going out
\n(Shout, shout, shout)
\nWe\u2019re going out<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nVoices echo down the block
\nLaughing loud past midnight clock
\nEvery stranger feels like kin
\nLet the chaos pull us in<\/p>\n

Windows down, the music screams
\nChasing down electric dreams
\nNothing planned and nothing staged
\nLet it loose, find amazed<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nFeel the pulse, don\u2019t slow it down
\nOver every inch of town
\nEvery second burning bright
\nWe won\u2019t waste a single night<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nWe\u2019re about
\n(To go out)
\nOut in the wild
\n(Disturbed and riled)<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going out
\n(Shout, shout, shout)
\nWe\u2019re going out<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNo direction, no control
\nJust the fire in our soul
\nEvery wrong turns into right
\nWhen we\u2019re running through the night<\/p>\n

Lose ourselves to find the sound
\nLift it up and shake the ground
\nWhat we are and what we\u2019ve been
\nMeets the moment crashing in<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\n(Clap\u2014Clap\u2014Stomp)
\nTurn it up and don\u2019t stop now
\n(Clap\u2014Clap\u2014Stomp)
\nLet it out, don\u2019t ask how<\/p>\n

Call it reckless, call it loud
\nWe\u2019re just living in the crowd<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nWe\u2019re about
\n(To go out)
\nOut in the wild
\n(Disturbed and riled)<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going out
\n(Shout, shout, shout)
\nWe\u2019re going out<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going out\u2026
\nNo turning back\u2026
\nWe\u2019re going out\u2026
\nRight off the track\u2026<\/p>\n

(Shout!)
\nOut! (Out, out\u2026 out\u2026.)<\/p>\n

Head West?<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nMap spread out across the dash
\nDreams drawn in a restless flash
\nLines that point to open skies
\nEndless roads and bigger lies<\/p>\n

You say there\u2019s something out that way
\nGolden light at end of day
\nBut I\u2019ve seen sunsets just as bright
\nRight here in this neon night<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery road\u2019s a question mark
\nEvery mile leaves its mark
\nWhat we\u2019re chasing, what we\u2019ve guessed
\nDoes it lie out west?<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nHead West?
\n(You think that\u2019s best)
\nAt the very least\u2026
\n(Rather be back East)<\/p>\n

Head West?
\n(Or just a test)
\nI confess\u2026
\n(I\u2019d stay East)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nOcean air and city sounds
\nFamiliar streets that spin around
\nEvery corner holds a name
\nEvery memory stays the same<\/p>\n

You see mountains calling loud
\nI see faces in a crowd
\nYou want space to disappear
\nI find meaning staying here<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nDifferent stars, same sky above
\nDifferent roads, same kind of love
\nWhat we need is not a guess
\nNot just east or west<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nHead West?
\n(You think that\u2019s best)
\nAt the very least\u2026
\n(Rather be back East)<\/p>\n

Head West?
\n(Or second guess)
\nNo contest\u2026
\n(I need East)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThe East Coast
\n(For the most)
\nFeels like home
\n(Where we\u2019ve grown)<\/p>\n

The West calls
\n(Through it all)
\nBut I know
\n(Where I belong)
\nSing along:<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nMaybe it\u2019s not black and white
\nMaybe both sides hold the light
\nMaybe roads don\u2019t have to choose
\nMaybe we\u2019ve got nothing to lose<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nHead West?
\n(You think that\u2019s best)
\nAt the very least\u2026
\n(Rather be in the East)<\/p>\n

Head West?
\n(Or just a test)
\nNo regrets\u2026
\n(We\u2019ll find peace)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nEast or west\u2026
\nIt\u2019s not the place\u2026
\nIt\u2019s who\u2019s along for the race\u2026
\nIn the space\u2026<\/p>\n

Stars<\/h2>\n

[Intro]
\nLights down\u2026 sky wide\u2026
\nFeel it building\u2026 deep inside\u2026<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nCity fades into the night
\nDark explodes with shards of light
\nEvery spark a distant fire
\nPulling us a little higher<\/p>\n

Breathing in the endless view
\nSomething old but feeling new
\nEvery question, every scar
\nLeads us right back to our star<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nHaving fun
\n(Turning round the sun)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nFeel the rush, the great unknown
\nLike we\u2019re not out here alone
\nEvery pulse, every beat
\nFinds a rhythm underneath<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDo you wonder how far
\n(How far we are)
\nDo you wish upon a star
\n(Aware we\u2019re where)
\n\u2026 where we are\u2026.<\/p>\n

Do you feel the spark
\n(In the dark)
\nLike we\u2019ve always known
\n(We\u2019ve shone)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nAncient light across the years
\nBreaking through our doubts and fears
\nWhat we see is long gone by
\nStill it reaches through the sky<\/p>\n

Every second burning bright
\nIn the middle of the night
\nWe\u2019re not lost, we\u2019re just a part
\nOf the beating cosmic heart<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIt\u2019s a must\u2026
\n(\u2019cause we\u2019re stardust)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLet it in, let it go
\nFeel the energy below
\nEvery breath takes us far
\nCloser to our star
\n(Run, run, run)
\n\u2019round the sun\u2026.<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDo you wonder how far
\n(How far we are)
\nDo you wish upon a star
\n(Aware we\u2019re where)
\n\u2026 where we are\u2026.<\/p>\n

Do you feel the pull
\n(Near and far)
\nLike a spinning mass
\n(As stars pass)<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown \u2013 Spoken | Beat strips to bass pulse]
\nWell, there they are
\n(Star after star)
\nEndless light above
\n(No matter where you are)<\/p>\n

Every dream we\u2019ve ever known
\nEvery place we\u2019ve ever shone
\nWritten out across the dark\u2026
\n(Light it up\u2026 be a spark)<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 Big]
\nDo you wonder how far
\n(How far we are)
\nDo you wish upon a star
\n(Aware we\u2019re where)
\n\u2026 where we are\u2026.<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown \u2013 Spoken | sudden drop]
\nWell, here we are
\n(Star after star)
\nRight here now
\n(Exactly where we are)<\/p>\n

[Refrain \u2013 Anthem, crowd vocals]
\nLet us shine
\n(Shine, shine, shine)
\nShine so fine
\n(Shine, shine, shine)<\/p>\n

Let us rise
\n(Shine, shine, shine)
\nLight the sky
\n(Shine, shine, shine)<\/p>\n

Star after star\u2026
\nWe are\u2026 we are\u2026
\nShine\u2026 shine\u2026 shine\u2026
\n(Shine throughout time)
\nShine\u2026 shine\u2026 shine\u2026<\/p>\n

In Arrears<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nTicking lines and broken sums
\nRunning fast but nowhere comes
\nNumbers crash and spill and slide
\nTruth we tried to hide inside<\/p>\n

Every promise overdrawn
\nEvery balance moving on
\nWe were chasing just to chase
\nLosing track of time and place<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nFeel it break, feel it spin
\nLet the reckoning begin
\nNo more hiding in the blur
\nLet the signal reoccur<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nFound to be in arrears
\n(Caught up in the gears)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBeyond our fears
\n(The air clears)
\nBecoming aware
\n(Our love\u2019s right there)<\/p>\n

\u2026 yes becoming clear
\n(Our loves right here)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nBurning paper, fading ink
\nToo fast now to even think
\nAll the debt we thought we owned
\nTurns to dust and overthrown<\/p>\n

Every ledger, every lie
\nDrifts away and asks us why
\nWe were counting what we lost
\nNever seeing what it cost<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nNow the rhythm pulls us through
\n(Every wrong turns into new)
\nSomething louder than before
\n(Knocking down the accounting door)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nFound to be in arrears
\n(Caught up in the gears)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nBeyond our fears
\n(The air clears)
\nBecoming aware
\n(Our love\u2019s right there)<\/p>\n

\u2026 yes becoming clear
\n(Our loves right here)<\/p>\n

[Verse 3]
\nSpeeding lines of afterglow
\nEverything we didn\u2019t know
\nFalling backward into sight
\nTurning wrongs into the light<\/p>\n

No more balance, no more blame
\nEverything becomes the same
\nAll the noise begins to fade
\nInto something unafraid<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLet it crash, let it fall
\n(Hear the truth inside it all)
\nEvery error disappears
\n(As we move beyond arrears)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nBeyond our fears
\n(The air clears)
\nBecoming aware
\n(Our love\u2019s right there)<\/p>\n

No more years
\n(No more years)
\nNo more arrears
\n(Just you here)<\/p>\n

\u2026 yes becoming clear
\n(Our loves right here)<\/p>\n

[Outro: Fast Fade, Repeating Hook]
\nWas in arrears\u2026
\n(Yet, we\u2019re still here\u2026)
\nNo, not in arrears\u2026
\n(All debt clears\u2026)
\n\u2026 yes becoming clear
\n(Our loves right here)<\/p>\n

Cat N’ Tongue<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWords on the tip but they slip away
\nLike they\u2019ve got their own place to stay
\nI open my mouth, nothing comes through
\nLike there\u2019s a traffic jam in the truth<\/p>\n

I rehearse it all in my head
\nBut it gets tangled up instead
\nEvery sentence turns to air
\nWhen I need it, it\u2019s never there<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nSomething stuck, something tight
\nLocks it up every time I try
\nFunny how it comes undone
\nWhen I\u2019m alone, when no one\u2019s won<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nYou would hear me say
\n(Cat got my tongue)
\nBut, I\u2019m in this way
\n(This bird\u2019s song can\u2019t be sung)<\/p>\n

You\u2019d think I\u2019d speak
\n(But I just hum)
\nEvery time I reach
\n(I come up numb)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nGot a story I wanna tell
\nBut it hides inside its shell
\nEvery thought that tries to leave
\nGets caught up in what I believe<\/p>\n

People ask me what I mean
\nI just smile, keep it clean
\nBut behind my quiet grin
\nThere\u2019s a storm I\u2019m trapped within<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s not fear, it\u2019s not doubt
\nJust a signal breaking out
\nLike a radio half on
\nTrying hard to find a song<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nYou would hear me say
\n(Cat got my tongue)
\nBut, I\u2019m in this way
\n(This bird\u2019s song can\u2019t be sung)<\/p>\n

I reach for sound
\n(It slips and runs)
\nAll my words
\n(Become undone)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nMaybe silence has its voice
\nMaybe silence has a choice
\nMaybe everything I feel
\nDoesn\u2019t need to be revealed<\/p>\n

Still I try, still I strain
\nBreaking through the quiet chain
\nEvery word I almost say
\nGets carried far away<\/p>\n

Cat got my tongue\u2026
\nYeah, I know\u2026
\nBut I still feel it\u2026
\nEven so\u2026<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nYou would hear me say
\n(Cat got my tongue)
\nBut, I\u2019m in this way
\n(This bird\u2019s song can\u2019t be sung)<\/p>\n

Still I try
\n(To hum along)
\nEven silence
\n(Sings my song)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nCat n\u2019 tongue\u2026
\nStill unsung\u2026
\nCat n\u2019 tongue\u2026
\nBut I\u2019m not done\u2026
\n(One last one?)<\/p>\n

Dog Gone<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nBackyard gate\u2019s swingin\u2019 in the breeze
\nMud prints lead through the apple trees
\nBowl still sittin\u2019 by the porch step line
\nLeash on the hook, but the hook ain\u2019t mine<\/p>\n

Hollered her name \u2018cross the afternoon
\nJust got echoes and a slanted moon
\nTail like a memory, quick and free
\nGone like she was never meant to be<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nChasing shadows down the lane
\nCalling out in sun and rain
\nEvery whistle, every call
\nFalls back into nothing at all<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSing along:
\n(Now where could that dog have gone)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nDag-nab-it
\n(Dog gone)
\nTry n\u2019 grab quick
\nBefore she gets away
\n(Oh, please come home today)
\nOh, what went wrong\u2026
\nDog gone
\n(Dog gone)
\n\u2026 long, long gone<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nNeighbors said they saw her run
\nLike she was chasing down the sun
\nPast the creek and over stone
\nLike she\u2019d never call this place home<\/p>\n

Every path looks just the same
\nEvery call just says her name
\nBut the wind keeps stealing sound
\nAnd she\u2019s nowhere to be found<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery trail turns into dust
\nEvery promise turns to rust
\nStill I wander, still I pray
\nMaybe she just lost her way<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nSing along:
\n(Now where could that dog have gone)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nDag-nab-it
\n(Dog gone)
\nRunning wild
\nOut beyond the line
\n(Still I hope she\u2019s fine)
\nOh, what went wrong\u2026
\nDog gone
\n(Dog gone)
\nGone, gone on<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\nQuiet night, porch light low
\nListening for a bark I know
\nEvery star above the yard
\nFeels a little less so hard<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nDog gone
\n(Dog gone)
\nCome on home
\nWhere you belong
\n(Don\u2019t stay gone too long)
\nDog gone
\n(Dog gone)
\nBut I\u2019ll wait on<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWind through the trees\u2026
\nEmpty leash\u2026
\n(Oh please)<\/p>\n

Dog gone\u2026
\nBut not gone in me\u2026
\n(No, not completely)<\/p>\n

Hillbilly Heaven<\/h2>\n

[Intro, Acapella Harmony Vocals]
\nMusta died\u2026
\nOr maybe just livin\u2019 right\u2026
\n(Shine on \u2013 the light)
\nShine on and on (Delight)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSun came up on a gravel road
\nCoffee strong in a chipped-up bowl
\nScreen door slam and a rooster crow
\nSame old rhythm we always know<\/p>\n

But today there\u2019s a sweeter air
\nSomething lighter everywhere
\nLike the world just slowed its spin
\nAnd let a little heaven in<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nLaughter drifting through the trees
\nBiscuits baking, summer breeze
\nEvery worry left behind
\nPeace you don\u2019t have to find<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nMusta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nEyes pied
\n(From before seven)<\/p>\n

Musta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nDusted, fried
\n(Before eleven)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nFront porch swing and a mason jar
\nPickup parked by the old tin barn
\nNeighbors waving as they pass by
\nNo one\u2019s in too much of a try<\/p>\n

Radio plays a country tune
\nUnderneath that afternoon
\nTime just melts into the day
\nNothing pulling you away<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery smile, every call
\nFeels like you belong to it all
\nSimple things that make it right
\nMorning into night<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nMusta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nSweet tea poured
\n(Cold by eleven)<\/p>\n

Musta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nLaughing loud
\n(Like forever seven)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nAin\u2019t no rush, ain\u2019t no race
\nJust a slow and steady place
\nWhere the sky feels close enough
\nAnd living easy is enough<\/p>\n

Hey! Hey!
\nLet it roll, let it stay
\nHey! Hey!
\nNever gonna fade away
\n(Not fade away, away\u2026 away\u2026.)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nMusta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nSunset gold
\n(Past half-past seven)<\/p>\n

Musta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nHearts wide
\n(Open and given)<\/p>\n

[Outro]<\/p>\n

Musta died\u2026
\nOr maybe just livin\u2019 right\u2026
\n(Shine on \u2013 the light)
\nShine on and on (Delight)<\/p>\n

In the Outcome (Peas in the Poop)<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSomething\u2019s off, you smell it first
\nCould\u2019ve been better, could\u2019ve been worse
\nTried to stir it, tried to spin
\nBut you know what you\u2019re standing in<\/p>\n

Half-baked plans and leftovers
\nGoing back just makes it worse
\nYou can laugh or you can pout
\nBut you know what it\u2019s about<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nYou can dress it up, disguise the truth
\nBut it\u2019s still the same from every view
\nSecond chances, same old loop
\nRunning circles in the soup<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nJust take a look
\n(It\u2019s up to you)
\nDo you wanna re-cook
\n(Or pursue anew?)<\/p>\n

Read the signs
\n(They\u2019re in plain view)
\nKeep refrying
\n(Or break on through?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nTried to fix it, tried to save
\nEvery move just dug the grave
\nSpinning wheels in the same old lane
\nDifferent story, same old stain<\/p>\n

You can scrape it off the top
\nBut you know it doesn\u2019t stop
\nEvery shortcut, every dodge
\nStill leaves you in the same fa\u00e7ade<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTruth is simple, hard to face
\nYou can\u2019t clean up every place
\nIf the root is off the loop
\nYou\u2019ll keep finding peas in the\u2026<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWhen there\u2019s peas in the poop
\n(Do you wanna scoop?)
\nKeep digging in
\n(Or change the group?)<\/p>\n

Laugh it off
\n(Or face the truth?)
\nStay stuck inside
\n(Or cut it loose?)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown: Minimal Beat, Spoken Tone]
\nYou already know\u2026
\nYou saw it coming\u2026
\nSo what are you gonna do?<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nJust take a look
\n(It\u2019s up to you)
\nDo you wanna re-cook
\n(Or pursue anew?)<\/p>\n

Draw the line
\n(Choose what\u2019s true)
\nStay in the mess
\n(Or make it new?)<\/p>\n

[Outro: Funk Groove Fades, Playful Ad-libs]
\nPeas in the\u2026
\nYeah, you knew\u2026
\nPeas in the\u2026
\nWhat you gonna do?<\/p>\n

[Final Hit]
\n(Up to you)<\/p>\n

Outta Here<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nPacked my thoughts in a paper bag
\nTried to stay, but the signal lagged
\nWords got tangled, ties got tight
\nSomething said it wasn\u2019t right<\/p>\n

Doors been creakin\u2019, windows wide
\nSomething shifted deep inside
\nNo more waiting on the line
\nNo more \u201cmaybe next time\u201d<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s not anger, it\u2019s not spite
\nJust a turning of the night
\nClear as neon, loud and near
\nTime to disappear<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, you know\u2026.
\n(I gotta go)
\nJust to be clear
\n(I\u2019m outta here)<\/p>\n

Oh, no doubt\u2026.
\n(It\u2019s figured out)
\nNo more fear
\n(I\u2019m outta here)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nLeft a note on the kitchen wall
\nSaid I tried, but that was all
\nEvery road I ever knew
\nLeads me somewhere past the view<\/p>\n

No more circles, no more stall
\nNo more waiting for a call
\nSomething better pulls ahead
\nEven if it\u2019s never said<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s a line I\u2019ve got to cross
\nEven if it means a loss
\nEvery ending crystal clear
\nWhispers in my ear<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, you know\u2026.
\n(I gotta go)
\nJust to be clear
\n(I\u2019m outta here)<\/p>\n

Oh, it shows\u2026.
\n(The feeling grows)
\nNothing to fear
\n(I\u2019m outta here)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot running away
\nJust running true
\nNot leaving you
\nJust leaving the view<\/p>\n

Every step I take feels right
\nCutting through the fading light
\nNothing left to hold me near
\nExcept this final tear<\/p>\n

Oh, you know\u2026
\n(It\u2019s time to go\u2026)
\nYeah\u2026 I know\u2026<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nOh, you know\u2026.
\n(I gotta go)
\nJust to be clear
\n(I\u2019m outta here)<\/p>\n

Oh, it\u2019s done\u2026.
\n(The line is gone)
\nNothing here
\n(I\u2019m outta here)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nBye-bye
\n(See ya later?)
\nMaybe\u2026
\n(Bye-bye)<\/p>\n

No more delay\u2026
\nNo more maybe\u2026
\nJust goodbye\u2026<\/p>\n

[Final Hit: Hard Stop]
\n(Outta here)<\/p>\n

Clocks With Hands<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nNumbers glow but they don\u2019t feel time
\nDigits flash in a perfect line
\nNo slow sweep, no second glance
\nJust instant answers, no romance<\/p>\n

We used to watch the minutes move
\nTiny steps in a steady groove
\nNow it\u2019s gone in a blinking span
\nTime reduced to what we can<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery second cut too clean
\nNothing in between the screen
\nLosing track of where we are
\nIn the future\u2026 just how far?<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDo you remember clocks with hands
\n(In these times no one understands)
\nThe pressure of today\u2019s demands
\n(Turning all the bands bland)<\/p>\n

Do you recall the patient spin
\n(Where the moment would begin)
\nNow it\u2019s rush and reprimand
\n(No one\u2019s got a second hand)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSchedules stacked in endless rows
\nDeadlines no one really knows
\nAlways running, never still
\nChasing something we can\u2019t fulfill<\/p>\n

Used to pause and let it breathe
\nNow there\u2019s nothing left to leave
\nEvery hour pre-defined
\nNo space left inside the mind<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nTime was once a living thing
\nNow it\u2019s just a tightening ring
\nEvery tick we can\u2019t withstand
\nFalling faster than we planned<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDo you remember clocks with hands
\n(In these times no one understands)
\nThe pressure of today\u2019s demands
\n(Turning all the bands bland)<\/p>\n

Do you miss the drifting pace
\n(Time you didn\u2019t have to chase)
\nNow it slips right through your grasp
\n(Nothing really seems to last)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRound and round but never rushed
\n(Moments lived instead of crushed)
\nEvery turn a gentle guide
\n(Now it\u2019s numbers we can\u2019t hide)<\/p>\n

Maybe time is still the same
\n(Only we have changed the game)
\nLost the rhythm, lost command
\n(Guess it\u2019s time we make a stand)<\/p>\n

Tick\u2026 (Tock, tick)
\nTick\u2026 (Tock, tick)
\nDo you feel it\u2026
\nOr just see it\u2026<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nDo you remember clocks with hands
\n(In these times no one understands)
\nThe pressure of today\u2019s demands
\n(Turning all the bands bland)<\/p>\n

Bring it back, the slower stand
\n(Time we used to understand)
\nLet it breathe, let it expand
\n(Give us back those ticking hands)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nClocks with hands\u2026
\n(Slipping sands\u2026)
\nClocks with hands\u2026
\n(Where do we stand\u2026?)<\/p>\n

Spit and Polish<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nScuffed up shoes on a worn-out floor
\nSeen this mess a hundred times before
\nDust in corners, cracks in the wall
\nBut there\u2019s still something worth it all<\/p>\n

Rough around every edge we know
\nBut there\u2019s a spark underneath the show
\nLittle work, little bit of care
\nTurn it into something rare<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nDon\u2019t need perfect, don\u2019t need new
\nJust a little follow-through
\nWhat looks lost can realign
\nGiven just a little time<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCan we make it shine
\n(Spit and polish)
\nWith a shine so fine
\n(We all relish)<\/p>\n

Take what\u2019s worn
\n(And make it bright)
\nBring it back
\n(Into the light)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nOld guitar with a faded sound
\nStill got music when it\u2019s passed around
\nEvery mark tells where it\u2019s been
\nEvery flaw lets the soul shine in<\/p>\n

Hands get dirty, that\u2019s the cost
\nFinding treasure in what was lost
\nEvery scratch, every stain
\nCan be turned to gold again<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s not magic, it\u2019s the grind
\nCare and patience, state of mind
\nWhat you give is what will show
\nLet it breathe and let it glow<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nCan we make it shine
\n(Spit and polish)
\nWith a shine so fine
\n(We all relish)<\/p>\n

Take the dull
\n(Make it gleam)
\nTurn it up
\n(Live the dream)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nLittle by little, stroke by stroke
\nEvery effort, every hope
\nWhat was hidden starts to rise
\nRight before your very eyes<\/p>\n

No shortcuts, no disguise
\nJust the will to realize
\nEvery surface, every line
\nHolds a chance to truly shine<\/p>\n

Rub it down, don\u2019t let go
\nFeel the rhythm start to grow
\nShine it up, take it slow
\nWatch it steal the show<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nCan we make it shine
\n(Spit and polish)
\nWith a shine so fine
\n(We all relish)<\/p>\n

Let it show
\n(Like new again)
\nLet it glow
\n(From deep within)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSpit and polish\u2026
\n(Done this time\u2026)
\nSpit and finish\u2026
\n(Let it shine\u2026)<\/p>\n

Wrapped Up<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nMorning light across your face
\nQuiet moments we don\u2019t chase
\nCoffee cools, we let it be
\nTime slows down for you and me<\/p>\n

Every glance, a hidden spark
\nLittle fires in the dark
\nNothing loud, nothing new
\nJust the way I fall for you<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s the simple things you do
\nThat pull me closer into you
\nNo big words, no grand display
\nJust a feeling that won\u2019t fade<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nI\u2019m wrapped up in you
\n(The little things you do)
\nWearing your love cloak
\n(Hearing every word spoke)<\/p>\n

Caught in your thread
\n(Every word you said)
\nPulled in so tight
\n(It just feels right)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nLate night talks that drift and bend
\nLike they never have to end
\nEvery laugh, every pause
\nPulls me deeper just because<\/p>\n

No need trying to explain
\nHow it settles in my veins
\nEvery step, every move
\nFeels like something I can\u2019t lose<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s not something I can fake
\nEvery breath, every take
\nAll the little in-between
\nMeans more than it seems<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nI\u2019m wrapped up in you
\n(The little things you do)
\nWearing your love cloak
\n(Hearing every word spoke)<\/p>\n

Every glance
\n(Pulls me through)
\nEvery chance
\n(Leads to you)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNot a moment wasted here
\nEverything feels crystal clear
\nAll the noise just fades away
\nWhen you\u2019re close, I wanna stay<\/p>\n

Call it fate or call it chance
\nAll I know is this romance
\nBuilt from whispers on what\u2019s true
\nEvery piece just leads to you<\/p>\n

Wrapped up\u2026
\nSo caught up\u2026
\nDon\u2019t wake up\u2026
\nFrom this love\u2026
\n(The love of\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nI\u2019m wrapped up in you
\n(The little things you do)
\nWearing your love cloak
\n(Hearing you spoke of woke)<\/p>\n

Hold me close
\n(Don\u2019t let go)
\nLet it flow
\n(We both know)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWrapped up in you\u2026
\nThrough and through\u2026
\nWrapped up in you\u2026
\nLove\u2019s come due\u2026<\/p>\n

Alphabetical<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nLetters scattered on the floor
\nSpilling out from every drawer
\nMeaning hiding in disguise
\nRight before our very eyes<\/p>\n

Every word we try to say
\nFinds a different kind of way
\nAlphabet in disarray
\nTill it learns to move and play<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s a code we all can read
\nPlanting every thought and seed
\nSimple marks that come alive
\nHelping everything survive<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nStarting to see
\nA to Z
\n(And a 2, B, to be)
\nNaturally<\/p>\n

Start (from the heart)
\nAnd in the end
\n(The message you send)
\nLives eternally<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nEvery sentence builds a road
\nCarrying a heavy load
\nFrom confusion into light
\nTurning wrongs into right<\/p>\n

Vowels stretch and consonants bend
\nTill they find a way to blend
\nEvery phrase a new design
\nDrawn in rhythm, line by line<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEven silence has a tone
\nWhen it\u2019s written, it\u2019s not alone
\nEvery symbol has a role
\nIn the language of the soul<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nStarting to see
\nA to Z
\n(And a 2, B, to be)
\nNaturally<\/p>\n

Start (from the heart)
\nAnd in the end
\n(The message you send)
\nLives eternally<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nEvery alphabetic trace
\nFinds its rhythm, finds its place
\nNot just letters in a row
\nBut a way for truth to grow<\/p>\n

From beginning to the last
\nEvery future and the past
\nWritten in a single line
\nSimple, yet divine<\/p>\n

[Breakdown: Minimal Beat, Spoken Rhythm]
\nA\u2026 B\u2026 C\u2026
\nWhat will it be?
\nWords become reality\u2026<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nStarting to see
\nA to Z
\n(And a 2, B, to be)
\nNaturally<\/p>\n

Start (from the heart)
\nAnd in the end
\n(The message you send)
\nLives eternally<\/p>\n

A\u2026 Z\u2026
\nIt\u2019s all we need\u2026
\nA\u2026 Z\u2026
\nPlant the seed\u2026<\/p>\n

[Bridge to jam]
\nStart\u2026 from the heart\u2026
\nLives eternally\u2026
\n(Set your love free)
\nFree, free, free<\/p>\n

[Groove Establishes]
\nEverything becomes circular\u2014no beginning, no end<\/p>\n

[Saxophone Enters \u2013 Soft, exploratory]
\n[Percussion Build]
\n[Guitar Phase Shift]
\n[Saxophone Solo \u2013 First Movement: \u201cAlphabet Drift\u201d]<\/p>\n

[Full Jam Climax]
\nStart\u2026 from the heart\u2026
\nLove\u2019s eternity\u2026
\n(Set your love free)
\nFree, free, free<\/p>\n

Shifting<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nFootprints fade where we once stood
\nTrying hard to feel understood
\nEverything we thought was still
\nTurns and bends against our will<\/p>\n

Time moves like a restless tide
\nPulling everything inside
\nWhat was solid slips away
\nInto shapes that rearrange the day<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nNothing stays the same for long
\nEven silence turns to song
\nEvery ending starts to send
\nUs toward a different end<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nShifting (sands)
\nHope everyone (understands)
\nShifting (gears)
\nDrifting (past years of fears)
\nRising above
\n(To a higher love)
\nHigher love
\n(Love, love, love)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWalls we built begin to sway
\nSlowly breaking day by day
\nWhat we held so close and tight
\nOpens up into the light<\/p>\n

No more fixed or carved in stone
\nEverything we\u2019ve ever known
\nLearns to breathe and learns to bend
\nTill beginnings start again<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery moment rearranged
\nEverything is being changed
\nNothing left to hold too fast
\nOnly echoes of the past<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nShifting (sands)
\nHope everyone (understands)
\nShifting (gears)
\nDrifting (past years of fears)
\nRising above
\n(To a higher love)
\nHigher love
\n(Love, love, love)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWe are not what we were before
\nSomething opens every door
\nEven broken things can move
\nToward a brighter groove<\/p>\n

Let it go, let it spin
\nLet the new world settle in
\nAll we lose is all we gain
\nRising through the change again<\/p>\n

[Breakdown: Minimal Pulse, Vocal Echoes]
\nShifting\u2026
\nDon\u2019t resist\u2026
\nShifting\u2026
\nCan\u2019t dismiss\u2026<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nShifting (sands)
\nHope everyone (understands)
\nShifting (gears)
\nNo more years of fears<\/p>\n

Rising above
\n(To a higher love)
\nHigher love
\n(Love, love, love)<\/p>\n

[Outro: Ambient Fade, Soft Synth Rise]
\nShifting\u2026
\nRising\u2026
\nHigher love\u2026
\nLove, love, love\u2026<\/p>\n

Wrong Exit<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nBlinking sign I almost missed
\nSplit-second call, I took the risk
\nLines diverge without a sound
\nNow I\u2019m somewhere I\u2019m not found<\/p>\n

Map keeps spinning in my head
\nEvery route a thread misread
\nThought I knew just where to go
\nNow I\u2019m deeper in the unknown<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery mile asks me why
\nEvery turn a blurred reply
\nNo rewind, no reset
\nJust the road and my regret<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis could be
\n(The wrong exit)
\nGuess we\u2019ll see<\/p>\n

Mighta made a wrong turn
\n\u2026 will I ever learn\u2026
\n(Or will it end ironically)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nStreetlights flicker, numbers fade
\nEvery choice a gamble played
\nPassing signs I don\u2019t recall
\nDid I miss them after all?<\/p>\n

Voices echo in my mind
\n\u201cAll roads lead somewhere in time\u201d
\nBut somewhere doesn\u2019t feel like right
\nJust another endless night<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery doubt accelerates
\nEvery second hesitates
\nStill I push the engine on
\nHoping I\u2019m not too far gone<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nThis could be
\n(The wrong exit)
\nGuess we\u2019ll see<\/p>\n

Mighta made a wrong turn
\n\u2026 will I ever learn\u2026
\n(Or will it end ironically)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nMaybe wrong is just a view
\nMaybe lost is something new
\nEvery detour, every bend
\nMight be more than just an end<\/p>\n

Or maybe I\u2019ve been here before
\nCircling the same old door
\nEvery lesson left unread
\nLooping lines inside my head<\/p>\n

[Breakdown: Minimal Beat, Echo Guitar]
\nWrong exit\u2026
\nOr just different\u2026
\nWrong turn\u2026
\nOr just distance\u2026<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nThis could be
\n(The wrong exit)
\nGuess we\u2019ll see<\/p>\n

Mighta made a wrong turn
\n\u2026 will I ever learn\u2026
\n(Or will it end ironically)<\/p>\n

[Outro: Fading Engine Sound, Distant Guitar Echo]
\nSignal lost\u2026
\n(At what cost)
\nRoad goes on\u2026
\n(And on and on)
\nWrong exit\u2026
\n(Perplex\u2026 yet\u2026)
\nStill not gone\u2026<\/p>\n

Not Over Yet<\/h2>\n

[Intro \u2013 driving toms, pulsing bass, muted guitar chugs, rising synth]
\nSoon to discover (over, over)
\nIt ain\u2019t over\u2026 (over, over\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1 \u2013 tight groove, punchy kick\/snare, palm-muted guitar]
\nStarted in the dark with a flicker of a flame
\nEvery step forward felt a little like pain
\nThey said \u201cturn around,\u201d said \u201cyou\u2019ve gone too far\u201d
\nBut I kept on chasing that distant star<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus \u2013 build intensity, open hi-hats, rising bassline]
\nBruised but breathing, still in the fight
\nEvery wrong turn got me closer to right<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 full throttle, big drums, distorted guitars, stacked vocals]
\nIt ain\u2019t over
\n(\u2019till it\u2019s over)
\nAnd, you can bet
\n(It ain\u2019t over, yet)
\nWhen the dust settles, (I\u2019ll still be standing)
\nHolding the line with these two bare hands and
\nIf you think I\u2019m done, (you don\u2019t know me yet)
\nNo, it ain\u2019t over yet<\/p>\n

You can bet\u2026.
\n(ain\u2019t over! ain\u2019t over!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2 \u2013 add lead guitar riffs, stronger bass drive]
\nEchoes of doubt try to fill my head
\nBut I turned that noise into fuel instead
\nEvery closed door just sharpened my will
\nEvery uphill climb made me stronger still<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus \u2013 tom-heavy build, rising vocal tension]
\nScars tell stories I won\u2019t forget
\nEvery fall just adds to the debt<\/p>\n

[Chorus \u2013 bigger, double kick accents, crowd-style backing vocals]
\nIt ain\u2019t over
\n(\u2019till it\u2019s over)
\nAnd, you can bet
\n(It ain\u2019t over, yet)
\nThrough the fire, (through the weather)
\nPiece by piece I pull it together
\nYou can count me out, (I\u2019ll raise that bet)
\nNo, it ain\u2019t over yet<\/p>\n

[Bridge \u2013 breakdown then explosive rebuild]
\nWhen the night gets long and the road gets rough
\nI remind myself I\u2019m more than enough
\nNo surrender, no regret
\nI haven\u2019t reached the ending yet<\/p>\n

[Build \u2013 rapid snare rolls, rising guitars, tension climbing]
\nNo regret!
\n(not\u2026 over\u2026 yet\u2026)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown \u2013 stop-time hits, vocal punches]
\n(Still rising!) [hit]
\n(Still fighting!) [hit]
\n(Still holding on!) [hit]
\n(Still writing!) [hit]<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nIt ain\u2019t over
\n(\u2019till it\u2019s over)
\nAnd, you can bet
\n(It ain\u2019t over, yet)
\nFrom the ashes, (from the wreckage)
\nI\u2019ll rebuild what they expected
\nEvery promise, (every threat)
\nNo, it ain\u2019t over yet<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nSo let \u2018em talk, let \u2018em place their bet
\nI\u2019m not done\u2014not even close yet
\nHear me now, don\u2019t you forget\u2026<\/p>\n

[Final hit \u2013 full band stop]
\nIt ain\u2019t over yet!
\n(Go! Go get!)<\/p>\n

Been Nice<\/h2>\n

[Verse 1]
\nPacked it up in a cardboard box
\nLabeled dreams and ticking clocks
\nLaughs we had, the things we said
\nStill echo softly in my head<\/p>\n

No hard feelings, no regret
\nJust a path we haven\u2019t met
\nEvery step now pulls away
\nFrom what we were to yesterday<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nIt\u2019s not goodbye, not quite the end
\nJust a bend we couldn\u2019t mend
\nEvery story has to flow
\nSomewhere else we have to go<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIt\u2019s been nice
\nKnowin\u2019 ya
\n(\u2026 gotta go)<\/p>\n

So\u2026
\nLet\u2019s give \u2018er heave
\nAnd a ho!
\n(Ho! Ho!)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been nice
\nKnowin\u2019 ya
\n(Maybe we\u2019ll meet up again)
\nYa never know
\n(Oh, no, no, no)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nDifferent roads and different skies
\nDifferent truths and different lies
\nWhat we were won\u2019t fade away
\nIt just won\u2019t walk with us today<\/p>\n

Every ending leaves a trace
\nTime won\u2019t ever quite erase
\nBut it softens what we knew
\nAnd makes a little room for new<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nShake it off and let it ride
\nNo more reasons left to hide
\nEvery turn\u2019s a chance to grow
\nEven when it\u2019s time to go<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIt\u2019s been nice
\nKnowin\u2019 ya
\n(\u2026 gotta go)<\/p>\n

So\u2026
\nLet\u2019s give \u2018er heave
\nAnd a ho!
\n(Ho! Ho!)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been nice
\nKnowin\u2019 ya
\n(Maybe we\u2019ll meet up again)
\nYa never know
\n(Oh, no, no, no)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRaise a glass to what we had
\nEven good can turn to past
\nNo need holding on too tight
\nLet it drift into the night<\/p>\n

If our paths should cross once more
\nSomewhere down another shore
\nWe\u2019ll just smile and let it show
\nWe already know<\/p>\n

[Breakdown: Handclaps, Group Chant]
\nHeave!
\n(Ho!)
\nHeave!
\n(Ho!)<\/p>\n

Let it go\u2026
\nLet it flow\u2026<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nIt\u2019s been nice
\nKnowin\u2019 ya
\n(\u2026 gotta go)<\/p>\n

So\u2026
\nLet\u2019s give \u2018er heave
\nAnd a ho!
\n(Ho! Ho!)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been nice
\nKnowin\u2019 ya
\n(Maybe we\u2019ll meet up again)
\nYa never know
\n(Oh, no, no, no)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nBeen nice\u2026
\nKnowin\u2019 ya\u2026
\nHeave\u2026
