This Time Tomorrow 03:51
lyrics

This Time Tomorrow Like an asteroid you crashed into my atmosphere In a heartbeat turned my whole world into dust When our eyes lock we both stopped and turned around On a day I wasn’t looking for love Let’s take a trip to the rooftop look over Manhattan In the beautiful moonlight anything could happen Let’s make the most of this moment cause we won’t ever get it back Got a plane to catch early in the morning No time to waste let’s stop the stalling And make the most of this moment cause we won’t ever get it We are here now, we could be gone this time tomorrow Gone this time tomorrow You introduced me to your friends they thought my accent was cute But we left them dancing in the bar We were walking hand in hand and playing hide and seek And the Brooklyn street was filled with our laughter Let’s take a trip to the rooftop look over Manhattan In the beautiful moonlight anything could happen Let’s make the most of this moment cause we won’t ever get it back Got a plane to catch early in the morning No time to waste let’s stop the stalling And make the most of this moment cause we won’t ever get it We are here now, we could be gone this time tomorrow Gone this time tomorrow I feel your energy change cause you know I’m going away But stay in the space baby stay in the time Don’t let your energy change cause although I’m going away When everything fades, we still have this night Chorus

First Move 03:09
lyrics

First Move Just a little wave will do, maybe a wink or two Open up the door for me to come sit next to you Cause i know if I get that far, baby I will win your heart Just a little wave will do I don’t wanna interrupt your conversation no Come in cold like a winters day I don;t wanna be rejected, no I couldn’t take it So pretty lady, please initiate Just a little wave will do Oh baby won’t you please make this first move When you see staring at you from across the room Cause I ain’t got no game I don’t know what to say or do But I’m dying to connect So baby won’t you please make this first move An hour is all I need for you to fall for me I will open up a door to where you’ve never been before Baby I will hold you tight, yeah I will treat you right Just a little wave will do Oh I know I will make you laugh and I will make you cry I will hold your hand through the hardest times So pretty lady, please initiate Just a little wave will do Oh baby won’t you please make this first move When you see staring at you from across the room Cause I ain’t got no game I don’t know what to say or do But I’m dying to connect So baby won’t you please make this first move For now I’ll just sit alone and write this little song And hold on tight to hope that it won’t be too long Until a pretty lady will initiate Just a little wave will do Chorus

In the Flow 03:57
lyrics

In The Flow Although I’m on my own again I don’t feel alone A couple of my closest friends is all I need to cope With all of the pressures and stresses of life All of the scoundrels and mountains to climb I’m feeling so easy So long to all my worries, anxiety and doubt Goodbye to the shame, evaporate into clouds See you never insecurity and shifting the hurt Sayonara to internal words that no longer serve The water is warm and the current is strong Now I don’t know where I’m going too And I don’t even care to know Cause I’m in the flow, In the flow Yeah I’m in the flow, In the flow As I travel down these rapids happy as the waters splash my soul Hello to smiling people with their feet upon the ground Let’s go to wild places where only magic is found I’m open to love and all the wonder it brings Now i’m listening to my intuition learning to sing The water is warm and the current is strong Now I don’t know where I’m going too And I don’t even care to know Cause I’m in the flow, In the flow Yeah I’m in the flow, In the flow As I travel down these rapids happy as the waters splash my soul I’m letting go of all that’s holding me down x4 Pre Chorus Chorus

Bed of the Lake 04:05
lyrics

Bed Of The Lake His bedrooms a mess, there’s dirty clothes everywhere And there’s dishes in the kitchen like the empire state building Oh he ain’t taken out the rubbish in a couple of months now But when she comes around there won’t be a speckle of dust to be found His soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea and you can swim in it for as month or so But when the summer sun bakes all the water evaporates and the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake His family is broken, nobody has spoken in God knows how long Though there’s an elephant in the room, nobody knows what to do So they sit there silently sippin' their wine But when the neighbors drop by they all get along just fine His home looks like a pretty deep blue sea and you can swim in it for as month or so But when the summer sun bakes all the water evaporates and the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake No one or nothing is perfect, I know I am certainly not When you scrape below the surface and you gaze behind the curtain What you find is just a person His smile is wide and his eyes shine bright and everybody falls in love with his charm Though his laugh is the loudest and everybody says how proud they are When the people take their leave, like a baby he cries herself to sleep His soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea and you can swim in it for as month or so But when the summer sun bakes all the water evaporates and the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake x2
