Oh the days pass by
Twenty years by this September
I don't mind, I don't mind
Just as long as I remember
Back in grade three
It was me who sat behind you
And fell in love with your mushroom haircut
Everyday since then
I'd try and be just like you
But old classroom portraits do not lie
I kept your hairstyle til '99
The joy of being young
Is your heart can't tell the difference
From the way you smile
Oh the way you smile
And the joys of playing Zelda
Hold on to love
Or what it used to feel like
When it's gone
When it's gone
All that's left is just the memory
Of a time when we were free
From just how broken we can be
We carry on, we carry on
Then again I was a huge nerd
And you were smarter than the others
That's what caught my eye
I can still beat you at Age of Empires
For once I'd be your best friend
Those days wouldn't be so lonely
We'd master the art of laser tag
I'd make you a mixed tape on cassette
I'd learn to hide away
Deep in Final Fantasy 7
So for a time I could forget
How much I really liked you
Some say it's hard to fall in love
When the world's so unforgiving
Don't let it hold you back
Hold you back
Chorus x2

Northern Skies

My heart lies in paradise
Under the northern skies
Your glow my sweet aurora
It warms this heart of mine
I wake up to the footsteps
In a white and endless sea
As hoarfrost creeps up gently
On forests as they sleep
From groves of Western Cedars
Through Rockies and fields of gold.
To Great Lakes and Toronto
Heading East to Peggy's Cove
From the Okanagan Valley
And rugged West Coast Trail
We'll find our way to solace
On the peak of Hudson Bay
I know the Northern wind
Will carry me
Across land, sky and sea
To where my heart will be
The sweet smell of aspen
Waking in the spring
From Lake Louise to Jasper
The beauty takes us in
I hear the loons call softly
As eagles soar on high
From St John's to Vancouver
All the places on my mind
I know the Northern Wind will carry me.
Across land, sky and sea
To where my heart will be
In Canada my heart will be

From City To Sea
03:27
|

|
Swallowed by the sea
The cold is where I need to be
Darkness in waves crash over me
As I sleep beneath these hallowed reams
Places and faces are gone
All that's left is the ghost in this song
Give me air and let me breath
To die and not live in between
Burning from the inside out
Falling from the one I used to know
Hanging from a cliff side
Waiting for the moment to let go
To let go
Tides are changing
But I'm still the one lost at sea
No one knows I'm drowning
In the shadow of who I used to be
Burning from the inside out
Falling from the one I used to know
Hanging from a cliff side
Waiting for the moment to let go
Is there anybody out there
To keep my heart beating on its own?
Buried deep in hope
From loving all the ones I need to know
Change is coming feel it glow
To dream and finally be home

Wellington Love Song

It's funny how the heart seems to think
To fall in love is easier than Jedi mind tricks
I don't mind how hard it is to tell you
All the things I like about you
So random facts it is
That night we walked along the harbour
Winds kept getting stronger
I dont mind it kept us close
At the bar I tried to make a move
But all I got was drunk
You being sober was the proof
Oh I'll sail across the sea to take you hand
I will climb to the highest peak to see your smile
I will sing around the world to win your heart
Cause I've found love, love, love
All I need is love, love, love
I should jump up on a chair just like Tom Cruise
Or busk on Courtenay place
So the drunks can be my muse
Head down to midnight espresso
See hipster girls in leggings
Make stories 'bout the rest
I'll ride on my single fixed gear bike
To see you at the Roxy
Those hills make me think twice
That moment I looked into your eyes
I knew that I was hooked
I was in love for the first time
The first time
Oh, oh, oh
Oh I'll sail across the sea to take your hand
I will climb to the highest peak to see your smile
I will sing around the world to win your heart
Cause I've found love, love, love
All we need is love, love, love, love.

Coloured Glass

We fight through the modern age
With nothing but a piece of glass
Colours of our broken skin
Are fading, fading fast
Took the fall to realize
We are here so give us reason
To free ourselves
From falling back in time
Never know unless we try
Don't you ever look back
See how beautiful we are with strength and love
This fate
Leave it alone
Get by on wings of hope
Be the ones we know
Take flight
Let go
Truth in war is bravery
So put yourself further up the line
Wounds still deep in memory
Won't give us back
The youth we had in kind
Take this chance, bring it home
Show how you're far behind
You think you've won but never count us out
To journey on a different path
Is something like a remedy
Feel joy of living life in harmony
How sweet it is to be
Holding on gracefully
To dream, oh to dream
In love we need
This fate
Gotta leave it alone
Gert by
On wings of hope
Be the ones we know
Take flight
Let go

Our Little Blue Hearts
03:53
|

|
The silence we
Hold so deeply
Tears us
From the fight
Feel suffering
So needlessly
To die so young
Is a crime
It breaks my heart to see
How our youth can live so empty
Forget hate and start to believe
There's a life to save in mourning
So love your sisters
and your brothers
Embrace your sons and all of your daugthers
Hold enemies closer than lovers
And ones you've lost forever
From your silent grave
I still hear you sing
Your voice is soft
My soul trembling
I still see your eyes
Know you're not alone
Take my hand you are home
Love your sisters and your brothers
Embrace your sons
And all of your daugthers
Hold enemies closer than lovers
And ones you've lost forever (x2)
