Santa Cruz 04:25
lyrics

From San Francisco Bay down to Monterey Livin’ up my daze in an ocean-side haze I never came to play, but when I tried to slip away They gave me four hundred twenty reasons to stay Out here on my own My baby’s back at home Though I’d like to stay I need someone to pull me away ‘Cause I sure don’t wanna lose Myself in Santa Cruz The beating of the drum echoes with the hums Stollin’ down Pacific in the shining sun The surfers and the bums, the buskers who strum Everyone just came here to have some fun Out here on my own My baby’s back at home Though I’d like to stay I need someone to pull me away ‘Cause I sure don’t wanna lose Myself in Santa Cruz Even in the hills spirits fly as they will Passing things around that make time stand still Vibing with the chill, Cali dreams are fulfilled It’s been easy wasting time I’ve had my West Coast fill Out here on my own My baby’s back at home Though I’d like to stay I need someone to pull me away ‘Cause I sure don’t wanna lose Myself in Santa Cruz I’ve been spending every night Wishing you would hold me tight Oh the sheets are so cold with no one to hold me close Hold me close, please hold me close Out here on my own My baby’s back at home Though I’d like to stay I need someone to pull me away ‘Cause I sure don’t wanna lose Myself in Santa Cruz

Cya Later 03:08

Trying to connect the dots between our thoughts Twisting, winding, seeking, finding squat You know what you’re trying to prove I’ll just leave that up to you Talk to you soon, see you later I never liked complainers When your heart and your mind are on the same side, You can never break your stride You can never break stride. Never, no never Looking forwards, slipping backwards through the cracks Look over your shoulder, better watch your back Paranoia’s gripping you, What else have you got to lose? Talk to you soon , see you later I never liked complainers When your heart and your mind are on the same side, You can never break your stride You can never break stride. Never, no never Sometimes you hit a wall Most times, I don’t think to call 'Cause all times, all you do is bring me down, bring me down, bring me down So I’ll talk to you soon , see you later I never liked complainers When your heart and your mind are on the same side, You can never break your stride, Never break stride. Never, no never When your heart and your mind are on the same side, you can never break

Window Watching 04:02

Window watching Will never grow old Under blankets, tangled We will never grow cold But in the summer snow Is when I miss you most Hazy spaces Open between you and me Communication’s saying “Say what you need mean” Mean what you say, say what you mean Do as you please I pulled your picture off my wall Forbid your name across my tongue Thought I had it all figured out But I, I can’t let you go Your face is a painting On my the walls of my mind Wish I could save you from fate Wish I could turn back time Erase the pain, see you again I would never, never, never leave your side I pulled your picture off my wall Forbid your name across my tongue Thought I had it all figured out But I, I can’t let you go I pulled your picture off my wall Forbid your name across my tongue Thought I had it all figured out But I, I can’t let you go No I, I can’t let you go Oh I let you go

Wait On You 04:57
lyrics

Waking up slow, bumping elbows As the sun streams through the holes of the blinds Eyes smiling, closed And open arms colliding as we roll Read in my eyes Believe it in my smile There’s no need to hypnotize me I ain’t gonna spend a dime on you Save your pennies Time is all that I need When you walk with me, when you talk with me Giddy children giggling at every pretty thing we see Feel the easy breeze, see the trees Reflections of a world we see beneath our feet Read in my eyes Believe it in my smile There’s no need to hypnotize me I ain’t gonna spend a dime on you Save your pennies Time is all that I need Heart and soul, my heart and soul, my heart and soul In the age of the telephone You meet the people you never would’ve known The sands of the hourglass run sideways You meet the people you never would’ve known The sands of the hourglass run sideways as we roll Read in my eyes Believe it in my smile There’s no need to hypnotize me I ain’t gonna spend a dime on you Save your pennies Time is all that I need
