https://circlejourney.bandcamp.com/track/seastorm Lyrics: |- Life goes on, days fleet by Yeah, they’re gone, with no goodbye With every run that I survive I turn to the sun to know I’m alive Frame up every loss, a memento of how I fought Yesterday's a day I can cross off of the page So when I go out tomorrow, just for the day I'm gonna drown my sorrow, dance it away And if you decide to follow, tell me you'll stay Even if our sky begin to grey And everything turns forever, moves to the rhythm Of the heart, love is our axis and axiom Everything's now or never, this is our anthem Yeah you know, we'll love and love again The sparkle of the blue untouched by me and you We'll sail the skies and say we left all our battles behind Now the tears of yesterday a thousand miles away We'll sail the skies all day Never knowing which nameless sea we'll find Years ago (Gotta go, gotta be at the start line Gotta know, want the sea and the sunshine) I was lost (Make it so, sailing off at the shoreline Let it go when I know what is mine, oh) Did I know (Gotta go, gotta be at the start line Gotta know, want the sea and the sunshine) How much it cost (Make it so, sailing off at the shoreline Let it go when I know what is mine, oh) I shrug off the chains (Gotta go, gotta be at the start line Gotta know, want the sea and the sunshine) That guarded my heart (Make it so, sailing off at the shoreline Let it go when I know what is mine, oh) A new age begins (Gotta go, gotta be at the start line Gotta know, want the sea and the sunshine) It's time to restart (Make it so, sailing off at the shoreline Let it go when I know) So when I go out tomorrow, just for the day I'm gonna drown my sorrow, dance it away And if you decide to follow, tell me you'll stay Even if our sky begin to grey So won't you come out and join me, dance to the thunder Let the rain fall like we fell for each other I know it's temporary, but till it's over Promise that we'll go it hand in hand The sparkle of the blue untouched by me and you We'll sail the skies and say we left all our battles behind Now the tears of yesterday a thousand miles away We'll sail the skies all day Never knowing which nameless sea we'll find Every sea and sky and every song and sigh I write the names that I still recall tonight --- Track: Shallow Shores Duration: '02:10' URLs: - https://circlejourney.bandcamp.com/track/shallow-shores Lyrics: |- Wade in the waves when the tide is low You hear them lapping at your door Here, it's deceptively clear but you don't know Just what you're lookin' for There's always more than what meets the eye So dive in deep beyond the shore And, let the sand keep you high and dry But watch out as breakers roar, yeah Things always lie closer than they appear There's grand secrets lost on ocean floors Beware every ripple, as they draw near The riptides of my shallow shores I stay low, though I'm sure we could go I'll wait for her call to know, mustn't pull her under No, always submerged in her glow She holds back, she's afraid of flying I change tack, guess it's worth trying Lightning crack, am I still denying My hull breakin' on her Hundreds of things you don't see Constellate as the history of me There's always more than what meets the eye So dive in deep beyond the shore and, let the sand keep you high and dry but watch out as breakers roar, yeah (Go with the flow) Things always lie closer than they appear There's grands secrets lost on ocean floors beware every ripple, as they draw near the riptides of my shallow shores --- Track: Tell You My Story Duration: '03:44' URLs: - https://circlejourney.bandcamp.com/track/tell-you-my-story Lyrics: |- I used to watch for passing ships As if I might see the same one twice And I waited with breath bated on my lips As if someday I might hear his voice All the seeking and the drawn out sighs Couldn't prepare me for that night When he said move on, he'd been ready to fly And like a star in the sky he was gone Someday maybe I'll tell you my story There's a whole library of regret for the things I'll never do Oh, I've tried to close that book of rue But if you're down to try, I'd reopen those pages with you There's a corner in my heart for plans we didn't start The time we spent apart didn't fade his words away And ever since that day, I've let his shadow stay A haunting in the places I don't look at anymore But when the sunset pours in I can't keep my eyes open It's like outside me, everything has moved forward While I'm rereading foreword, hopin' Whoa-o-o-oh Someday maybe I'll tell you my story There's a whole library of regret for the things I'll never do Oh, I've tried to close that book of rue But if you're down to try, I'd reopen those pages, yeah Someday maybe I'll let myself weigh heavy There's an inventory of the things from my past that stay with me Even if you don't know what to do, if you're still not afraid There's a world I would trade in for you Telling the truth is half the fight Bring every secret to the light Unfinished manuscripts with half written promises Every surrender and strife Every love lost in my life Fight my fear, lay it out Where would I be without you Tell me how to begin 'cause Someday baby I'll tell you my story There's a whole library of regret for the things I'll never do Oh, I've tried to close that book of rue But if you're down to try, I'd reopen those pages with you Someday baby I'll let myself weigh heavy There's an inventory of the things from my past that stay with me Even if you don't know what to do, if you're still not afraid There's a world I would trade in for you --- Track: The First to Leave Duration: '04:46' URLs: - https://circlejourney.bandcamp.com/track/the-first-to-leave Lyrics: |- We knew it wouldn't last Your eyes were hollow An omen of sorrow This is the bed we made A slow burn explosion A crash in slow motion And I took the pains, I drew my crosses I took my gains, I cut my losses I braced myself for when it hit I braced myself to let go I watched it fall, the sky and all I saw it coming but it just hit harder Burned my wings and broke my strings I fell and fell into the rolling thunder Let you make your play, I thought you'd say you want to stay despite it all but it went as written and all was blown away Weeks, a blur of fears I've lived a minute for years and years Climbing through the ruins I've wasted centuries rebuilding towers from my tears Tried to fit each piece into the other I broke myself to match another You fought for me, I fought for you But nothing seemed to stay I watched it fall, the sky and all I saw it coming but it just hit harder Burned my wings and broke my strings I fell and fell into the rolling thunder Let you make your play, I thought you'd say you want to stay despite it all but it went as written and all was blown away The first to leave, the last to let go The last to let go, the last to get better The last to grieve, the last to move on The last to move on, the last to remember The first to leave, the last to let go The last to let go, the last to get better The last to grieve, the last to move on The last to move on, the last to remember I watched it fall, the sky and all (The first to leave, the last to let go) I saw it coming but it just hit harder (The last to let go, the last to get better) Burned my wings and broke my strings (The last to grieve, the last to move on) I fell and fell into the rolling thunder (The last to move on, the last to remember) Gone, the city sights, the spurs and lights (The first to leave, the last to let go) It hit and hit again but harder (The last to let go, the last to get better) Burned my wings and broke my strings (The last to grieve, the last to move on) I fell and fell into the darkness under (The last to move on, the last to remember) Let you make your play, I thought you'd say (The first to leave, the last to let go) you want to stay despite it all (The last to let go, the last to get better) but it went as written (The last to grieve, the last to move on) (The last to move on) The last to get better --- Track: Vanish Directory: vanish-the-sky-beyond-our-bay Always Reference By Directory: true Duration: '03:41' URLs: -
