California 02:41
I wanna go to California, I wanna go where it's green. I wanna go to California, where everyone's a little bit less mean. I wish I was in California, far away from all that's botherin' me. I wish I was in California, no one else; just you and me. I wanna go to California, I wanna go where it's green. I wanna go to California, where everyone's a little bit less mean. I wish I was in California, far away from all that's botherin' me. I wish I was in California, no one else; just you and me

Golden Light 03:16
Soft golden light fills the curtains in my bedroom. I hold you tight as I wander through my daydreams. I don't know why, but I need to hold you closer. Don't need to try, but my love for you still grows, yeah. I brush the hair across your cheek. I hope I mean as much to you as you mean to me. Warm golden dust dances in the window. Small fairy lights are twinkling to this song. Your hands on mine are as warm as they are soft, yeah. I just can't find a reason to get up. I brush the hair across your cheek. I hope I mean as much to you as you mean to me.

Roadtrippy 05:24
Nine to five don't work for me, I don't blame society. I quit my job and I got in my car; no place to go, I just wanna go far. Rubber tires on the road take me out right to the coast. It's been so long since I've had time, but now this freedom, it smells like mine. I spent my last ten bucks on gas. I'm driving slow 'cause I don't have to go fast. I got nowhere to go so I'll follow the road. I didn't even wait to pack. I'm never ever ever goin' back. The radio turned up to high, the music's happy and so am I. You should come along with me, see all the things that I see. The window's down, my hair's let out. Right now, I have no doubt. I slept beneath the stars last night. I've never ever ever ever slept so tight. I got nowhere to go so I'll follow the road.

You told me I would see you next june, I said "I miss you so much". I miss you so much You told me I would see you soon, I love you so much. I love you so much. And I said "I love you". You said you love me. I said we should build a treefort, you said "yeah". So I got my hammer and my nails. You said we should go to a restaurant, I said "yeah! I got my wallet and keys". And you said you love me, And I said "I love you". You told me you would always love me, yes you do. I went home and I thought of you, I miss you so much. I miss you so much. I lay in bed thinking of you in my head; I don't want you to go. I love you, yeah you know. I love you, oh you know.

There's nobody in my way. No one sees my pretty face. All I wanted was for you to walk a mile in my shoes. But there's nobody anymore; they all walked straight out the door. And now the winter's all but gone. Now I have one month of warm... Flower fly and birds they grow. Baby please, why did you go? It was cold it was no fun, but now it's warm and you are gone. Winter's long and winter's hard; nine feet of snow in our backyard. "It gets better" so they say, but I'm alone here anyway... Sometimes I think I still hear you. If I could go I'd be there too, but I can't do any more harm so I'll enjoy one month of warm...

There's nothing in my bed, there's no one in my head and everything I had before doesn't matter anymore. It's not applicable today and even though I'd like to stay my brain is still in pieces and I can't really find a way to keep it all together forever and for never, have to feel like I do all the time now I'm fine now I haven't come to terms with the person that I think I am. I can't remember ever feeling quite this way before. It kinda almost feels as though my brain was taken out and sewn, but not back into anything; it's floating out in space. Can't stop filling lungs with smoke, I'm not okay unless I toke, but even so it doesn't help; anxiety will choke me out. I wanna follow where she led, deeper out inside my head, but if I try I won't come back; I'll have a new manic attack... Not sure which one of these minds is mine anymore than before, when I knew who I was and what I was even doing. This is the longest I've been happy and I owe it all to you, but you're dangerous, explain to us exactly what you do in my head 'cause when you're through with me I'll wind up being dead and I can't follow you, can't use you as my med, instead I'll have to face the demons you drove away and led me to a place where every- thing was black and blue and only time will tell the Keeper's hands who's face was shown on the telly head...

I need somebody to come here, and pull me outta this mud that I've fallen into. It's not the best thing I could do, but I'm so lost in you. Come pull me, pull me outta here. Pull me outta here, 'cause I'm lost in where I've gone with you. Somebody, someone. Somebody, anyone.

Little rain boots, in the mud, listen, my little dear, to the raindrops as they fall, they are all so glad to see you here. Little rain boots, in the grass, don't go get caught up in the past; your rubber soul, it will bounce back... Little rain boots, on the sand, hold your head up high and take my hand. Little rain boots, you've grown so tall, you've been loved and you've been laughed at, burned and all. Little rain boots don't be sad; nobody told you that life would be this bad. Little rain boots, just hold on; when life gets muddy, just put your rain boots on.

Victoria 02:42
Victoria, Victoria! You are so far away from home. Victoria, Victoria! you don't have to be alone. When I see you face, I am not lonely. One day I'll be there with you, my only. Victoria, Victoria! Why did you leave me on the moon. Victoria, Victoria! I hope to be there one day soon. But today, I fade away, because Victoria don't know my name.
