Five Years 03:35
You play your favourite song again Roll down the window so the world can hear you sing along You look at me and I pretend That my heart’s not pounding, my mind’s not racing, and I’m not thinking about the night when you Held onto me, that summer night on your front porch We made believe that the whole world stopped outside your door You wrapped your arms around me so tight I struggled to breathe Looked up and told me you were never letting go The memories come flooding back I just wanna know if you remember them like I do Some light nausea and a heart attack Every time our eyes meet, I wonder if your smile means you remember when you Held onto me, that summer night on your front porch We made believe that the whole world stopped outside your door You wrapped your arms around me so tight I struggled to breathe Looked up and told me you were never letting go Don’t say you don’t think about this too Don’t say you don’t think about this too So let’s drive around where we used to hang out Point out the places that haven’t changed in these five years So hold onto me, like that summer night on your front porch We’ll make believe that the whole world stops outside your door Just wrap your arms around me so tight I struggle to breathe Look up and tell me that you’re never letting go Hold onto me, like that summer night out on your porch We’ll make believe that our history means so much more Just wrap your arms around me - hold tight, it hurts when I leave Look up and tell me that you’re never letting go

On The Line 04:01
There’s nothing that I’d rather do than live these nights all over again Replay them like my favourite movie The sun goes down and we come out and act just like we own this town Yeah we’d laugh and scream ‘til our throats burn But the days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting colder And I don’t know what happens after this So let’s go crazy one last time ‘cause tonight I’m invincible And these summer nights won’t last forever I need to break away again before life comes creeping in So let’s put it all on the line together I could stay forever on these playground swings and wooden park benches It all looks so warm in the glow of sodium streetlights We’ll dream of get-rich-quick schemes, how easy life would then be if we were truly free Yeah if we were truly free You’ll say that the future doesn’t scare you like it should And I’ll agree, but we both know the truth So let’s go crazy one last time ‘cause tonight I’m invincible And these summer nights won’t last forever I need to break away again before life comes creeping in So let’s put it all on the line together You looked at me You said “can’t you see? This is all I’ve been waiting for” So let’s live tonight like we might die ‘Cause there’s so much to do before we say goodbye So let’s go crazy one last time ‘cause tonight I’m invincible And these summer nights won’t last forever I need to break away again before life comes creeping in So let’s put it all on the line together

Magnolia 04:00 video
The day we leave feels just like the day we met Two strangers on the corner of Never and Meant Two stories that seem intertwined from the start for so long you forget they were written apart And the first time they don’t match - well, nothing is perfect Chalk it up to different histories Never thinking that your plans aren’t the same for me It’s time to go, outside our lives are waiting Fear takes hold, what’s this mistake we’re making? But we both know that some stories have to close So take good care and we’ll stay in touch The day we leave is exactly the way it should feel Heavy and bright, humid and far too still A silence that desperately aches for reprieve, but everything’s stagnant: the air and the leaves We’re making decisions we both know we need, and maybe you’ve got the same questions as me But it’s time to go, outside our lives are waiting Fear takes hold, what’s this mistake we’re making? But we both know that some stories have to close So take good care and we’ll stay in touch All of our boxes in the hall It’s a miracle we could split it all Four rooms with sixteen empty walls Someone else’s life by nightfall So lock the door, and we’ll walk away together Turn once more, look back at where we planed forever We both know that our story’s about to close And just because it’s good, it doesn’t mean it’s right It’s time to go, outside our lives are waiting Fear takes hold, what’s this mistake we’re making? And we both know that our story’s about to close So take good care and we’ll stay in touch Oceans The corners of your mouth have this funny way of Telling if your smile is real or if it’s hiding something else It’s so easy to talk about the things we might become Before one of us goes out to make it happen We stop and start again, talking bit by bit A gradual crescendo ‘til it gets too much to handle These desperate attempts to write new stories on old pages Where the ink from before completes the words we’re saying now And I can’t let you go

Oceans 03:59
The corners of your mouth have this funny way of Telling if your smile is real or if it’s hiding something else It’s so easy to talk about the things we might become Before one of us goes out to make it happen We stop and start again, talking bit by bit A gradual crescendo ‘til it gets too much to handle These desperate attempts to write new stories on old pages Where the ink from before completes the words we’re saying now And I can’t let you go And you can’t let me go And I know I’ll be okay, but it’s hard to keep my Head above these waves, we’re drowning in the Ocean that we made, to keep us apart To keep us apart But I’ve got this funny feeling pulling at my brain Every time my phone lights up and I can see your name The way that we keep talking when the world has gone to sleep Or the way that smile stays on your lips when you look back at me I know I’ll be okay, but it’s hard to keep my Head above these waves, we’re drowning in the Ocean that we made, to keep us apart To keep us apart We just want the best for each other So why can’t we let go? And where do we go from here? Yeah where do we go from here? I know I’ll be okay, but it’s hard to keep my Head above these waves, we’re drowning in the Ocean that we made, to keep us apart Yeah it keeps us apart

I’ve never felt this tired in my life I’m working hard but I just can’t get it right With bloodshot eyes and ragged breath I stumble through the day Forcing myself to forge ahead but feeling stuck in place We all have our highs and lows When we feel like we’re on our own But don’t let the darkness take you These are the times that’ll make or break you I’m battered and I’m bruised tonight But when they’re closing in to steal my light I’ll put my back against the wall and fight Yeah I think I’m gonna make it Sometimes I feel like giving up The pressure pushing down is just too much And every time I fall behind I think about tapping out But I’ll grit my teeth ‘til they grind away Yeah I might fall back but I’ll never back down I’m battered and I’m bruised tonight But when they’re closing in to steal my light I’ll put my back against the wall and fight Yeah I think I’m gonna make it And your light’s gonna dim from time to time But don’t let it burn out and you might find Just a little bit of strength to help survive Through the days when their words might cut and sting And the nights when they laugh and the pain it brings But they don’t know you, they don’t know a thing And when you get up, you’re gonna come up swinging I’m battered and I’m bruised tonight But when they’re closing in to steal my light I’ll put my back against the wall and fight Yeah I think I’m gonna make it I feel like shit, I’m filled with doubt But when I sing these songs I’ll think about How I might be down but I’m still not out Yeah I think I’m gonna make it

Keep the curtains drawn, I just can’t stand the light I was up all night, terrified of things I can’t describe Keep me in this bed, I just can’t make it through I know I’m paralyzed just in my mind but it’s still so hard to move And I know these days take all you’ve got, but Don’t let go, when the world puts its weight upon you Don’t let go, when you feel there’s no hope or rescue Time will show, bit by bit, a way out of the darkness Don’t let go, don’t let go, tonight Call in sick again, another day in bed But what’s the point when all it does is build the guilt inside my head? Call me out again, say I don’t look myself Maybe someday I won’t feel like I’ve turned into someone else And I know these days take all you’ve got, but Don’t let go, when the world puts its weight upon you Don’t let go, when you feel there’s no hope or rescue Time will show, bit by bit, a way out of the darkness Don’t let go, don’t let go, tonight Hold your head up one more time to see you’re not alone Get back up and live to fight another day It doesn’t mean I’ve found a cure or that I’ll always be okay But when the daylight fails and dark clouds start to form I know there’s no shame in asking for a life line in the storm So hold on tight - because this life is worth it Don’t let go, when the world puts its weight upon you Don’t let go, when you feel there’s no hope or rescue Time will show, bit by bit, a way out of the darkness Don’t let go, don’t let go, tonight

Baywatch 01:10
Hey bro - I’m calling you on my Porsche’s Bluetooth Hey bro - you wanna grab a couple brewskis after work? Hey bro - hang on, I gotta cut a few people off real quick here Don’t honk at me bro - don’t you know who I am? I work on Bay Street - I spit on every passing bike ‘cause I work on Bay Street - and my crew likes to strut five across down the sidewalk, yeah I work on Bay Street - you peasants best not scratch my car ‘cause I work on Bay Street - and I’ll cross the road any time I goddamn please Days Like These Sitting in the living room all by herself, staring at his picture on the shelf Something in the way his smile cracked makes her think that he’s not coming back And that picture is a token of a past life lived, giving someone all she had to give But if this is how she comes out on the other side, then maybe love’s not worth the ride And there must be more than falling in and out of love Just waiting for her heart to break again I’m not prepared for days like these, a heartache keeping me from breathing I need someone who still believes in me It’s always been so easy to romanticize the past and forget that some things just can’t last He always feels the pull of old habits in his mind - maybe they could try this one more time His father used to say “Love is like a seed you sow - tend to it and help it grow” But no one ever told him about the roots that stick around, pushing back up through the barren ground And there must be more than falling in and out of love Just waiting for his heart to break again I’m not prepared for days like these, a heartache keeping me from breathing I need someone who still believes in me And there must be more than falling in and out of love Just waiting for my heart to break again I’m not prepared for days like these, a heartache keeping me from breathing Are you the one who still believes in me?

We didn't talk for a long time after we called it quits because It’s way too hard to keep a clear head when you’re just a kid But now it’s five years on and things seem fine, we get together from time to time And I can’t help but wonder Another “see you soon,” another “please don’t go” Another bus ride back to this temporary home If we’re nothing more than friends, if we only come and go Then why are we up all night alone? The 401 is slow tonight, I’m looking out the window At a river of cars that flows to skyline lights, and my mind is spinning ‘cause You’ve got her and he’s got me, but somehow their presence here feels weak So we’ll leave this station and walk these streets, side by side where our hands might meet You stand so close to me Another “see you soon,” another “please don’t go” Another bus ride back to this temporary home If we’re nothing more than friends, if we only come and go Then why are we up all night alone? If we’re nothing more than friends, if we only come and go Then why’s it so hard to say goodbye? Your embrace so tight, your lips inches from mine? Another “see you soon,” another “please don’t go” Another bus ride back to this temporary home If we’re nothing more than friends, if we only come and go Then why are we up all night alone?

Greyhound 03:25
What’re you gonna do when they turn their backs on you When every day this world subjects you to a violent game that’s rigged to lose? What’re you gonna say, when they spit back in your face And when the space you take is wasted, no remorse beneath their hatred? It’s hard to make a difference in a world not meant for you When you’re ignored, not represented, when your space is only rented You fight for visibility, but end up vilified And every time you stand your ground they find a way to bring you down We stop and stare, but do we ever truly care? What’re you gonna do when they turn their backs on you When every day this world subjects you to a violent game that’s rigged to lose? What’re you gonna say, when they spit back in your face And when the space you take is wasted, no remorse beneath their hatred? What is left to say in place of action or disdain? I’ve sought in vain the perfect phrase in many a case and come up short Is it worst to thwart the hopes and belief of what another being has seen Or what they’ve deemed the righteous course? I’ve sailed the vast sea of remorse Waved hello to the winds of wallow and woe Suffered in silence to quiet the riot my mind has awoke Truth is told in the untold tales. Only time can weigh Measures are better remembered in the steps that we take Words wash away just as fast as they came What is left to do when we take actions that fall through? I’ve struggled and strove for the perfect approach Lost all hope, and still bespoke I’ve made mistakes in many a case Missed the mark, still fought my cause My mind was wrought until it wasted away Bare bottomed bottles scattered the space I’ve drowned in the river of murky mistakes Couldn’t be saved slinging proverbial phrase Spluttered and choked until my throat closed its gates Self pity is a taste I’ve sought to savour Now I rinse out my mouth and spit without waver We’ve all had our share of our own misbehaviour We stop and stare, but do we ever truly care? What’re you gonna do? ‘Cause this story isn’t new It’s just another chance to feign our shock When we can’t be bothered to do more than talk What’re you gonna do when they set their sights on you? When every day we walk past living proof That claims of progress are far from true? When are we going to change and act like victims aren’t on stage? How many lives should we see wasted before we confront our own hatred?

Manifesto 04:00
Rise up, rise up - our message is clear Dismantle this culture of rancor and fear Open the borders and tear down the walls And cheer as the hateful start to crumble and fall Rise up, rise up - our time is now Take to the streets and we’ll all stand our ground They might bring the torches but we’ll bring the fire To burn through their drivel and their ugly desires They’ll try and they’ll try but they can’t take us down They’ll try and they’ll try but they can’t take us down Their anger is loud but we’ll drown out the sound They’ll try and they’ll try but they can’t take us down Rise up, rise up – we’ve got to open our eyes To the lies and deceptions that seek to divide Fear is their weapon, with poisonous words And ignoring the symptoms can’t bring us a cure So rise up, rise up – there’s no time to waste When apathy breeds unawareness and hate We’ll tear down the echo chamber, cut through the noise And unmask the truth behind their fraudulent poise They’ll try and they’ll try but they can’t take us down They’ll try and they’ll try but they can’t take us down They can’t walk all over and push us around Yeah they’ll try and they’ll try but they can’t take us down Hey! Hey! We are the resistance Hey! Hey! With voices all around, screaming Hey! Hey! We’re gonna keep on fighting And we won’t back down, no we’ll never back down So let’s welcome this world with arms open wide And celebrate our differences with honour and pride Break down the barriers, throw open the doors And hear the voices that were silenced now too loud to ignore Hey! Hey! We are the resistance Hey! Hey! With voices all around, screaming Hey! Hey! We’re gonna keep on fighting And we won’t back down, no we’ll never back down So try your best to do your worst But we’ll keep fighting until you’ve cursed Our names so much your throat feels tight Yeah we’re gonna fight, you know we’re gonna fight

No I don’t blame you for taking time away When I thought I could do this on my own And I don’t blame you for needing your own space But lately my world’s stuck in monochrome Just a slip up here and there, just when I’m stressed out A bad first impression or a party I need to get out The years progress, thought I was having some success But only so much can be suppressed before your mind becomes a mess And I don’t blame you for taking time away When I thought I could do this on my own And I don’t blame you for needing your own space But lately my world’s stuck in monochrome Finding help is not as easy as it should be A constant crush of questions - is this real or is it just me? But you just need to breathe, emotional serenity Feel your pulse maintain its beat while I get the help I need And I don’t blame you for taking time away When I thought I could do this on my own And I don’t blame you for needing your own space But lately my world’s stuck in monochrome So take the time you need, and we’ll be alright And I don’t blame you for taking time away When I thought I could do this on my own And I don’t blame you for needing your own space But lately my world’s stuck in monochrome No I don’t blame you for packing up tonight I know I’ve made this hard to feel like home So take your time and I know we’ll be alright And someday we won’t live in monochrome

Highrise 03:31
So when the leaves turn to gold And when these mornings grow cold I guess I’ll see you around Drive up the hill and see the colours changing It feels like years since I’ve spent time in this town I watch leaves fall on ground still stiff with frost ‘cause This autumn sun won’t warm up anything So when the leaves turn to gold, and when these mornings grow cold I guess I’ll see you around Zip up my jacket again, this summer’s come to an end And I guess I’ll see you around We used to spend our time avoiding getting older / But that lease is up and the apartment’s getting taken down / A shiny highrise to replace memories of our life / But at least they kept the tree we never climbed So when the leaves turn to gold, and when these mornings grow cold I guess I’ll see you around Zip up my jacket again, this summer’s come to an end And I guess I’ll see you around It gets dark early in the evening But these memories light up my mind Like the night we climbed the carpark just to see the city lights When the cops came out of nowhere, we had to run all through the night And when we got back home we talked until the city came back to life But the apartment’s gone now - I just visit this town So when the leaves turn to gold, and when these mornings grow cold I guess I’ll see you around Zip up my jacket again, this summer’s come to an end And I guess I’ll see you around Yeah I guess I’ll see you around
