SUNSET CRUISE: *Instrumental* FOURTH OF JULY: It’s the Fourth of July And I’m feeling alive It’s killing outside It’s killing outside It’s the reason we cry The final goodbyes It’s killing outside it’s killing outside It’s the fourth of July And I'm drunk and alive Keep Reaching out, reaching out Reaching toward the fire It’s the end of the night And I'm missing my flight Until next time... SERENE DREAM: Summer is better than winter I pick winter every single time Neon, lakes of neon Covering the city Yeah it’s fine, I’m doing alright... RERUN: Where are we going now? My life feels like a rerun Some mediocre made for T.V. Rom-Com The same plots and story arcs Sometimes I think my thoughts are trademarked Seasons change, yet I repeat My dumb mistakes and tragedies We’re just new leaves stemmed from dead trees... MIDNIGHT DRIVE: And there she was... In amber we were bugs Encased in carbonite Dimensions of twilight A midnight drive in her eyes I'm lost in the moonlight And now you're here In my... You’re the girl of my dreams Plot twists don’t exist like this on T.V...

PARK SONG: There’s nothing i’d rather do Then dance around the park As we skip school Chemistry is really elementary When I’m with you I’ll be the Darko to your Donnie Be the Bonnie to my Clyde Lets get Mary Shelly Be the Bride of Frankenstein I’ll be the world to you Solve any Rubick's Cube That's left in the room Cuz I’m cool, i’ve got moves, I’m so smooth Hell, what’s to lose? You are so much more than I would ever need But the greed is real We’ll spend the day in Coney Island Then get lost in Southern France King Kong the Eiffel tower Then skydive back down to land Stargaze in California sands Okay, I’m getting carried away Well at least it takes some guts to admit my mistakes You never wanna be the one you leave It’s just like Jesus Christ! I’m finding God for the third time tonight And I swear it’s true You place first over Buddha and Zeus Omnipotent being Will you be my date tonight...? PROM SONG: Hold on Put your hands on my shoulders It's 2am And tonight we'll be still So look into my eyes Tell me that you’re mine... INNER WISHING: Castle Builder A dog, a house, a new T.V. I want to give you everything Home made movies on the screen The American dream Once upon a star I’m in the back seat of your car... BACK SEAT OF YOUR CAR: And i’m left wondering Where do your parents think we are? As we’re sitting in the backseat of your car Midnight feels like years ago And your drunk philosophy Keeps returning to the backseat of Your car, your car Yeah I never want to leave this fucking car Oh, this car Yeah I wonder if we're gonna see the stars Oh the stars, yeah the stars Oh no... TIDAL WAVE: Tidal wave I think it’s time we make our great escape The beach is waiting for our feet to hit the sand I want to surf the depths of you Until the nightmares stop Do human hearts sink or float? We’re gonna need a bigger boat Tensions great It’s like a prison on an evening stay A violent tease It’s open water in the deepest bloody sea It’s Sexual, it’s telephone This charades is killing me I’m suffocating in the heat C'mon and pass the damn sunscreen... FEEL YOU TO FEEL YOU: I would like to feel you, feel you Baby, is there something in the way? Listen to my heartbeat cuz I would love to feel you, feel you Baby, I don’t want to be alone Listen to your heartbeat flow...

COOLIO: Well it feels like it’s drugs But the drugs don't feel this good We don’t care about time What can time do for us now? I won’t let you be scared Even if I'm not there I’m doing things twice Just to make sure that I treat you right I can’t believe how Tonight will be the night I won’t let you be scared Even if I'm not there Nah nah nah nah nah And I won't let you be scared Even if you play fair... LEAVING SECRETS: *Interlude* MY FRIENDS: My friends My friends don't Care about or think about you And you said Two words and I laughed Maybe I’m the enemy of you Maybe I'm the enemy too Maybe I'm the enemy too... FORGET THE WORLD: Well forget the world It's not so simple To pretend And I know you want me But that's not easy Well honestly, I can't believe I'm breathing When you hold my hand Nah nah nah nah nah Old enough to see this... I'M ON YOUR SIDE: Hold on, run as fast as you can Cuz, i’m on your side, i’m on your side I’m not like him, i’m not like him Feel right, tied up in your own head I’m on your side, feed me tonight We’ll be better off together Hold on, run as fast as you can I’m on your side, I'm on your side I’m not like him, I’m not like him...

SURFS UP!: Flood This tide is dangerous I feel it when you cry in your sleep all the time If I broke down Would you stand right up? Give me time, give me space One day it may rain Radio systems, Water's in the well I'm not here, I'm above Floating in the... OVER THE MOUNTAINS: Over, over the mountains I am afraid Over, over Over the mountains where I sail... SUMMER: And I sail, make my life over again Honeymoon masks and plastic sheets I don’t know how to be friends Make my life over again Summer, summer, summer, summer Summer till the end Lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers Lovers till the end Summer Lovers... FALLING IN LOVE: Well love was in the air Even the ether could feel the affair Well if it feels like you’re falling in love That’s because the chemicals are good at their jobs Cupid’s baby ass is getting laid off If the top 1% have it all Then I’m a fat cat I’m a pig in a suit Mr. Money Bags Call me Daddy Warbucks A true tycoon I’ll exploit my workers Abuse every tax loop hole And i’ll invest it all On you Well if it feels like you're falling... STOP MOVING TOO FAST: You're lipsticks missing Taxis on it's way And your destination's Oh so far away Well I miss you And I need you And I wish that I could Stop moving too fast I mean c'mon lets get a job I've made up my mind That you could never do me wrong It’s all for money, It's all for money Would you please stop fooling around I’m serious this time It's not like I've said this a thousand times And your daredevil smile Is slowly going out of style It’s all for money, It's all for money Would you please stop fooling around...?

And there she was... I’m not wasting your time And they say it should get easier With a lover’s mind Shortly breakfast I realized the passing time Lonely is the mind Desperate for a sign That you are only mine Lonelist in mind And it's the subtlest of crimes Leaving... But time moves faster slowly And days end faster quickly The ones we love are fleeting And i can’t move much faster And i can’t move much faster And i can’t move much faster I'm not wasting your time...

I remember my first love was easy So easy Pass the ruby slippers, I’m uneasy Things aren’t easy With kitten eyes Your trapeze smile Would dance the walls In flight, sun flickers down...
