Summer Lovers 03:43
lyrics
Summer's here The radio's on And everybody's dancing To the latest song Then you appear You spin me around We start laughing and chasing each other All over town, just like Summer lovers Singing with the summer bands Summer lovers Racing ‘round in the sand Summer lovers Dancin’ the nights away Summer lovers Lovin’ every day Chemistry Swirlin’ in my brain And in your green eyes I see you feel the same ‘Cause when we're flying high The world seems so small And when you’re next to me I'm not afraid to fall, now that We're summer lovers Singin’ with the summer bands Summer lovers Hangin’ out with our friends Summer lovers Dancin’ the night away Summer lovers Loving every day This feeling only lasts so long And I wish it would go on and on When change comes around the bend Is this summer song going to end? We’re summer lovers

Queen of My Collection 03:40
lyrics
I scroll through the photos Five girls in kimonos I'm racing home from school With a girl up in my room I like to think she’s having fun That she thinks I’m the one That won’t need all those Protective measures She is the one I love She is hot as the sun She’ll make my life complete The queen of my collection See her in history She’s on bended knees Raising a hand That’s full of questions I hear her calling out my name Sounds of pleasure and pain The kind that brings me Back in seconds She is the one I love She is hot as the sun She’ll make my life complete The queen of my collection (Solo) She is the one I love She is hot as the sun She’ll make my life complete The queen of my collection But she’s just a teenage dream That satisfies my needs To feel a real human connection And when I’m drifting out to sea She comes and rescues me Pulling me back in her direction She is the one I love She’s hot as the sun She makes my life complete The queen of my collection She is the one I love She is hot as the sun She makes my life complete The queen of my collection She is the one I love She is hot as the sun She makes my life complete The queen of my collection

Stay Tonight 03:48
lyrics
I don’t want to go where you’ll be tonight There’s just too many things we left unsaid But I still want to ask you What it was I did? Cause I don’t wanna dream about you tonight Feel your phantom hands sliding down my chest But I still wanna touch you And watch you undress We just need a quiet place To mess around somewhere It only takes a few words To get us there Stay tonight We’ll make it right Just give it time We’ll work it out Let your defenses down And stay tonight ‘Cause I don’t gonna wait for you to message me tonight There’s a chemical that’s rushing through my veins And I feel I have to see you Before it’s too late Step-by-step I fight my way to yours tonight Winter howling through the curtains of your room And I see you a light in your window Calling me to you We don’t need to referee Some game of hard-to-get It only takes a few words And we’re right back Stay tonight We’ll make it right Just give it time We’ll work it out Let your defenses down And stay tonight ‘Cause I couldn’t stand another man Running his fingers through your hair Or spend another night alone If you’re not there Stay tonight We’ll make it right Just give it time We’ll work it out Let your defenses down And stay tonight I don’t want to go where you’ll be tonight There’s just too many things we left unsaid But I still want to ask you Who’s in your bed?

Moonshine 03:54
lyrics
I’m gonna make you mine Drink you up Like moonshine Get half cut Keep you up All night Down by the lake Before day breaks When it’s so quiet Let’s make a move There’s no time to lose Tonight Tonight Sun’s coming up Don’t wanna stop Take your time Moonshine You leave your friends And take my hand By the fireside Moving free Like a summer breeze In the twilight Dancing slow The hills start to glow The birds take flight But will this spark Fade out with the dark When we see that light I see the Sun’s coming up Don’t wanna stop Take your time Moonshine Sun’s coming up Don’t wanna stop Take your time Moonshine The night time drifts away You turn and say Goodnight But in the corner of my eye I see you looking back In the sunlight The sunlight Sun’s coming up Don’t wanna stop Take your time moonshine Sun’s coming up (Sun’s coming up) Don’t wanna stop (Don’t stop) Take your time moonshine Sun’s coming up (Sun’s coming up) Don’t wanna stop (Don’t stop) Take your time moonshine

Keep Running 04:11
lyrics
Pale as a ghost Puking up the shit I drank last night Rolling up my sleeves Like Daddy told me Sour as a tangerine Sweating out the nicotine Demons on my back And when it came to fight I didn't know how to do it right So I ran I ran away Terrified of what might happen if I stayed Yes I ran I ran away Into the dark Into the fear And out of the frame I was fast like a cheetah Running on the balls of my feet I couldn't even sit still Until the day I met you You kept my feet glued But the muscles in my head Wouldn't let me get to bed Tore the heart off of my sleeve And ripped the shirt off my back But you know I still felt trapped So I ran I ran away Terrified of what might Happen if you stayed Yes I ran I ran away Into the dark Into the fear And out of the frame Coach said to me when I was 21 Boy you're fast as hell Mum said to me you're your father's son When things get rough you always gotta run So I ran I ran away And when I turned around You were there waiting there for me So I ran Ran to you Into your arms Into the truth You said I wasn't here to hold you back Or take your name You don't gotta be your father's son And when things get rough Together we can run So keep running Keep running Keep running Keep running Keep running Keep running Keep running Keep running Keep running Keep running Keep running Keep running Keep running (No matter where you're running to) Keep running (I'll be running next to you) Keep running (And no matter where you go) Keep running

Ghosts 04:24
lyrics
I see clouds coming Over the hills I know They’ve been away so long Last time the rain came down It washed my love away And left a ghost in this town I see a man walking Over the hills I know He’s been away so long Dragging chains along the ground But I don’t know him anymore He is a ghost to me now Don’t make a sound, don’t make a sound Don’t make a sound, don’t make a sound See the storm up in the sky Kick the door open wide And watch those clouds pass you by I see clouds coming Over the hills I know Pouring down, flooding Thunder crashing all around But I can see the light of day Watch it flash and fade away Don’t make a sound, don’t make a sound Don’t make a sound, don’t make a sound See the storm up in the sky Kick the door open wide Watch those clouds pass you by Don’t make a sound, don’t make a sound Don’t make a sound, don’t make a sound See the storm wash away All the ghosts in this town Don’t make a sound, don’t make a sound (Over the hills I know) Don’t make a sound, don’t make a sound (But they’re coming back around) See the storm wash away All the ghosts in this town

River 03:03
lyrics
I'm going down to the river I'm gonna lay by the fire With you With you Gonna lay there til the sun's dawning Sit up watch the water turn blue to gold Hands through your hair We sit up watch the sunrise Not a sound anywhere Waiting for that first breath We make our way from the river To that house of timber And flyspecked stone Oh yeah We watch the seasons change from our window And listen like children for the sound of first snow Whispering on the rock We sit up watch the sunrise Clouds everywhere Waiting for that last breath (solo) We sit up watch the sunrise Clouds everywhere Waiting for that last breath I'm going down to the river I'm gonna lay by the fire With you With you With you With you

Last Train 03:14
lyrics
Waiting on the last train They say that it is running late And everybody's gotta wait If they wanna get home 'Cause this could be the last time For you and I to feel alive And I wish that you would just stay ‘Cause I don’t wanna go home So roll me a smoke Tell me a joke You know I got all night We’re all getting old And nobody knows When it’s going to arrive I’m talking 'bout that last train The one that takes you the place Where everybody knows your name And it all feels like home So roll me a smoke Tell me a joke You know I got all night We’re all getting old And nobody knows When it’s going to arrive Talking 'bout that last train The one that takes you to that place Everybody knows your name And it all feels like home

Assistant Editor Song 02:49
lyrics
Got a job in the film industry All my friends are jealous They say I'm living the dream "Hey, what you do again? Tell us!" I work all day In a tiny darkened room I think syncing sound Is pretty fucking cool I'm an A.E. You don't know me I work behind the scenes And stay outta sight Syncing all the footage They shot last night A.E. I’m an A.E. I'm the editing tech support line You can gimme a call anytime you like When you get an error on your screen I say, "Not a problem, babe, just restart the machine" I know that doing this job won't make me rich But I just love being the editor's bitch 'Cause I'm an A.E. You know don't me Creating documents nobody reads Updating bins and assembling scenes A.E. I'm an A.E. Nobody listens to me at all Camera guys drive me up the wall Still life doesn't get any better Than being an assistant editor An A.E. You don't know me I do a lot more than sound effects The position gets pretty complex For an A.E. An A.E., like iPhone, Go-Pro Nothing has timecode No grade No slate Time we all appreciate the A.E. You don't know me The director doesn't even know my name But I'm saving the movie all the same A.E. I'm an A.E. If I hear him say, “We’ll fix it in post” I’m gonna punch him right in his fucking throat A.E. I'm an A.E. Let’s all put our hands together For the motherfuckin' assistant editors A.E. I'm an A.E. A.E. I'm an A.E. "Hey Mark, when you've got some time can you look that shot I'm too lazy to find?" "Sure!"

Just One Night 03:20
lyrics
Riding in the same boat Cruising on a date Heading nowhere And we're moving fast Neither of us care We don't hate each other yet So we might as well Give it a blast There's not a single spark But that's alright It's just one night It's just one night We'll get the motor running And soon we'll be comin' To the end of this lazy ride I can see you start to fidget Don't worry about my digits We'll end this thing before midnight It's not metaphysical It's pure and simple It's just one night It's just one night Well I can see it your face You're reaching for the mace You're not ready for a one night stand Why don't you come upstairs Let down your hair You're a woman and I'm a man We'll rub our stuff together It won't take forever Just one night Not even a whole night Alright! (Solo) We're getting set Ready to go You're no Juliette I'm no Romeo Love can seem so finite We don't have to get married tonight It's just one night It's just one night (Don't you know) It's just one night (Don't you know) It's just one night (Don't you know) It's just one night (Don't you know) It's just one night We don't have a connection But I've got an erection For just one night

100 Years 03:24
lyrics
Since five years old I've been told To keep my hands inside the car Wave it around You'll likely lose your arm Now I'm stuck In a job that sucks And it don't matter That I'm mostly intact If I had it over again I'd do every drug I can And ask every girl to dance Say what you want Be stupid if you must You know, a hundred years We'll all just be dust I met a girl in Portland We walked the Gibbs Street bridge And she told me all about the life she lived My attention span was thin Too much truth for a kid to take in But I listened And now I understand She said If I had it over again I'd do every drug I can And ask every boy to dance Say what you want Screw who you must You know, a hundred years We'll all just be dust (solo) One day you're five years young The next you've got a son And you're trying to pass on what you know When it's time to make your run Don't forget the journey's fun And that it comes as quick as it goes If I had it over again I'd do every drug I can And ask every girl to dance Say what you mean Do what you must You know, a hundred years We'll all just be dust A hundred years We'll all just be dust In a hundred years We'll all just be dust
