Some people
Travel the same road
In the same direction
Split up
When the road splits
Any intersection
You and I
Two separate lines converging
I see our two worlds merging
You and I
Some people
Travel so close
They're prone to misdirection
Some people
Pull back the line
Defined by course correction
You and I
Two separate lines converging
I see our two worlds merging
You and I
Where we're going, going
Only we know
I don't care where
They say we're meant to go
We make our own path
We pave our own road
You and I
You and I

"Born In the Clouds"
Born in the clouds
Not coming down
But you make lovely sounds
For us on the ground
Make it loud
Topple over and pour out
Why restrain when you could rain
Down
Soft, white, pillows surround
High in the heavens, your flowers abound
Bloom now, bloom
The colors I've found
Head in the clouds
I can finally see you now
In a sea of endless white
I don't want to come back down
Born in the clouds
Don't come down, don't come down
Born in the clouds
Don't come down, rain down
Not coming down
But you make lovely sounds
For us on the ground
Make it loud
Topple over and pour out
Why restrain when you could rain
Down
Soft, white, pillows surround
High in the heavens, your flowers abound
Bloom now, bloom
The colors I've found
Head in the clouds
I can finally see you now
In a sea of endless white
I don't want to come back down
Born in the clouds
Don't come down, don't come down
Born in the clouds
Don't come down, rain down
"Enough"
I'm not lonely enough to cling to
The first group of people I find
Just lonely enough for the lack of connection
To eat me alive
I'm not lonely enough to want you so badly
I'd tell you a lie
Just lonely enough to wish
That I tried
I'm holding on
A hand in either court
My feet in either pond
Is it ever enough to be
The valley or the peak
If insincerity reigns strong
I'm not lonely enough to sit up
Regretting the days that have gone
Just lonely enough to fall asleep
To the sound of my music on
A voice in the silence
In the cold dark void
Is all I need
It's what I need
I'm holding on
A hand in either camp
My feet in either pond
Is it ever enough
To reach high or sink below
If you lose yourself in tow
Just to feel like you belong
The first group of people I find
Just lonely enough for the lack of connection
To eat me alive
I'm not lonely enough to want you so badly
I'd tell you a lie
Just lonely enough to wish
That I tried
I'm holding on
A hand in either court
My feet in either pond
Is it ever enough to be
The valley or the peak
If insincerity reigns strong
I'm not lonely enough to sit up
Regretting the days that have gone
Just lonely enough to fall asleep
To the sound of my music on
A voice in the silence
In the cold dark void
Is all I need
It's what I need
I'm holding on
A hand in either camp
My feet in either pond
Is it ever enough
To reach high or sink below
If you lose yourself in tow
Just to feel like you belong

"Paper Back"
You're like a book
You're full of stories
And I haven't read in ages
I'm hanging on
To your every word
Don't want to stop turning the pages
Cause you're a fantasy adventure
All the way
I want to see this through
To the ending
Beauty, keep speaking
Keep repeating your life
Out loud in vocal sound
And don't slow down
You're an open book
No mysteries to keep
Yeah, only to be revealed
The journey now to start
Your words pressed on my heart
Behind my lips they're sealed
Beauty, keep speaking
Keep repeating your life
Out loud in vocal sound
And don't slow down
My eyes fixed on this action, rising
Your hands enfolded in mine
I want to touch your cream skin, paper back
It's all connected at the spine
You're full of stories
And I haven't read in ages
I'm hanging on
To your every word
Don't want to stop turning the pages
Cause you're a fantasy adventure
All the way
I want to see this through
To the ending
Beauty, keep speaking
Keep repeating your life
Out loud in vocal sound
And don't slow down
You're an open book
No mysteries to keep
Yeah, only to be revealed
The journey now to start
Your words pressed on my heart
Behind my lips they're sealed
Beauty, keep speaking
Keep repeating your life
Out loud in vocal sound
And don't slow down
My eyes fixed on this action, rising
Your hands enfolded in mine
I want to touch your cream skin, paper back
It's all connected at the spine

"Too"
Have I come too far
Have I one too many scars
Too numb and jaded, jarred
Is it too far to reach
Are we allotted each
Am I too old to teach
And I feel
That the road I'm on is right
Learned not to hold to anything too tight
And I feel
That the love I have is real
Is it strong enough to mend, enough to heal
Have I burnt it down
The only bridge back into town
With families and singing sounds
Is it too hard
To hold your deck of cards
Without the house falling apart
And I feel
That the road I'm on is right
Learned not to hold to anything too tight
And I feel
That the love I have is real
Is it strong enough to mend, enough to heal
Have I one too many scars
Too numb and jaded, jarred
Is it too far to reach
Are we allotted each
Am I too old to teach
And I feel
That the road I'm on is right
Learned not to hold to anything too tight
And I feel
That the love I have is real
Is it strong enough to mend, enough to heal
Have I burnt it down
The only bridge back into town
With families and singing sounds
Is it too hard
To hold your deck of cards
Without the house falling apart
And I feel
That the road I'm on is right
Learned not to hold to anything too tight
And I feel
That the love I have is real
Is it strong enough to mend, enough to heal
"I Found Someone Else"
Only so long
You can hold on
Waiting around for someone to find you
It's a long drive
And a long night
So much harder without someone beside you
And I've waited
You said, "patient"
But you waited
A little too long
Where's the promise
That your promises aren't vacant
I've often debated
But you weren't there to help
So I found someone else
We are human
There's only doing
It can't all be in our heads
All those chances
Lonely dances
In words you never said
And I've waited
You said "patience, love"
But you waited
A little too long
Where's the promise
That your promises aren't vacant, love
I've often debated
But you weren't there to help
To help me see outside myself
So I found someone else
You can hold on
Waiting around for someone to find you
It's a long drive
And a long night
So much harder without someone beside you
And I've waited
You said, "patient"
But you waited
A little too long
Where's the promise
That your promises aren't vacant
I've often debated
But you weren't there to help
So I found someone else
We are human
There's only doing
It can't all be in our heads
All those chances
Lonely dances
In words you never said
And I've waited
You said "patience, love"
But you waited
A little too long
Where's the promise
That your promises aren't vacant, love
I've often debated
But you weren't there to help
To help me see outside myself
So I found someone else
"Filler"
Ever since
Ever since her
Everyone
Everyone was just filler
Ever since
Ever since her
Everything
That was sweet became bitter
But you, oh you
You're like the deepest breath
You, oh you
Like I haven't used my lungs yet
And I, oh I
I want to fill my heart with you
Ever since
Ever since you
Everyone
Everyone is see-through
I'm so perplexed by the mystery in front of me
That you were here, but you were never here beside me
I get a glimpse of you, a little bit blinding
But I'd rather not see than have that light not shining
And you, oh you
You're like the deepest breath
You, oh you
Like I haven't used my lungs yet
And I, oh I
I want to fill my heart with you
No, the filler just won't do
Ever since her
Everyone
Everyone was just filler
Ever since
Ever since her
Everything
That was sweet became bitter
But you, oh you
You're like the deepest breath
You, oh you
Like I haven't used my lungs yet
And I, oh I
I want to fill my heart with you
Ever since
Ever since you
Everyone
Everyone is see-through
I'm so perplexed by the mystery in front of me
That you were here, but you were never here beside me
I get a glimpse of you, a little bit blinding
But I'd rather not see than have that light not shining
And you, oh you
You're like the deepest breath
You, oh you
Like I haven't used my lungs yet
And I, oh I
I want to fill my heart with you
No, the filler just won't do
