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

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

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

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

Lyrics: |-
And it's always on these dusky days
That all these years you were gone
Still vanish in the rays
And the sun can lie but the moon will show
That after all this time I can't let go
Someone tell me how to live this endless life
When each flower I give is answered by a knife
So the days go on and the world will turn
And every season still finds new ways to burn
And it's always on these dusky days
That all these years you were gone
Still vanish in the rays
And the sun can lie but the moon will show
That after all this time I can't let go
Someone tell me how to live this endless life
When each flower I give is answered by a knife
So the days go on and the world will turn
And every season still finds new ways to burn
And it's always on these dusky days
That all these years you were gone
Still vanish in the rays
And the sun can lie but the moon will show
That after all this time I can't let go
Someone tell me how to live this endless life
When each flower I give is answered by a knife
So the days go on and the world will turn
And every season still finds new ways to burn

Lyrics: |-
Take my hand, we'll float away, in search of the sun
And then they, on land, can't say a thing when we've run
Fly, we'll see there's so much sky beyond our bay
Keep your eye on me, and I'll show you the way
I'm tired of moving nowhere
They all say don't go there
All my dreams are threadbare
Head hung low
But since the day I met you
I just can't forget you
Baby can I let you know
I want to go see the world together, forever,
Whatever the weather, we'll keep our course, so
Rained upon, snow or sun, when we've begun
We'll make a run for far-off places whose names we don't know
Oh, won't you go, come along, my summer song, the wind is strong
Can't go wrong, we're sailing on where they won't know we're
Soaring high, sinking low, anywhere that you may go
I'll come cause I love you so
I'm tired of moving nowhere
They all say don't go there
All my dreams are threadbare
Head hung low
But since the day I met you
I just can't forget you
Baby can I let you know
I want to go see the world together, forever,
Whatever the weather, we'll keep our course so
Rained upon, snow or sun, when we've begun
We'll make a run for far-off places whose names we don't know
Oh, won't you go, come along, my summer song, the wind is strong
Won't be long, we're sailing on where they won't know we're
Soaring high, sinking down, we'll make right what was wrong
I can cause I love you so
In places that we don't know

Lyrics: |-
Kimi ga ano sora wo atashi ni okutta koto
Itsumademo zenzen wasurenai yo
Zensekai wa zutto henkashiteiru kedo
Aozora ga eien no
So I carried my heavy heart beyond the shore
There I sank in the waves, just couldn't take anymore
Then I heard you call out and your smile broke the clouds
And I saw like I hadn't before
Now from the day you turned to me
And said the sky was mine to pursue
I knew everything would be alright if I was with you
Time will change the whole world anew
Nothing will remain as we knew
But our sky will forever be blue
