I have been surrounded by people who have had my best intentions in mind
Looking out in every direction but I can't help but look behind
Where you've been that's where you're coming from
Think of all of the things that you've done
Think of everyone you've already met
Think of everyone you haven't yet
You drove us home from shows late at night and it was so far out of your way
You gave me my first tattoo and now I get to think of you every day
I wanted to make you angry so I stole fifteen dollars from the band fund
You stuck around after I went crazy all the things I said and moving away
Where you've been that's where you're coming from
Think of all of the things that you've done
Think of everyone you've already met
Think of everyone you haven't yet
I'm not saying things were perfect
It's hard to learn and it hurts to grow
I'm just saying I feel lucky
Growing up with you around

Take a picture to remember who they were
Draw the contour of their face inside a sketchbook that you'll keep
And some day you'll look back on it and remember how it felt
To see their face
To mark it down
Sometimes it's light
Sometimes it heavy
Sometimes you're right
About how it would turn out
Sometimes you're wrong
You can't imagine just how wrong you might be
Sometimes you're wrong
Sometimes you're wrong
Take a picture to remember where you went
Send a postcard to a friend and maybe they'll remember too
Leave a trail of little pebbles so you always can go back
Back to where you felt at home
And sometimes it's light
Sometimes it heavy
Sometimes the path is cluttered and dark
But sometimes it's light
And there's something beautiful about
How you can be right
You can be right
I'll remember what you told me even if you don't
Please remember what I told you even if I don't
Even if I don't remember please tell me you will
I will promise to remember, I remember still

I remember walking home from high school
You would let me sleep on your floor
We were neighbours but you never asked me
What for, what for, what for
I used to run, run away
I never got very far
I used to leave, leave my body behind
I ran away in my mind
I remember writing you a letter
I never imagined you wouldn't respond
I remember kicking down your doorway
How long, how long, how long
I kept a secret for us
How many years did it last
In my mind every day was the same
I spent a lifetime not saying your name
This is the part that's too hard to explain
This is what I haven't got to yet
This is the part that's too hard to explain
I haven't always been at home, I haven't always been at home

(okay)
I wanted to go home
And what feels more at home than being in love
Like a hand fits in a glove
I fit right in being in love
Like a cheerleader on a football field
I fit right in when I start to feel
Like I'm in love
I'm like a dove
Delivering a letter to you
Something borrowed, something blue
And what is written on the note?
"I love you" is all I wrote
(put me in coach I'm ready to play!
I'm telling you kid you're just not ready for the big leagues
I belong on the field!)
I wanted to go out
And who would I want to meet more than you?
You're like a superstar
And so am I when you're in my car
Like a basketball and hoop
A feature film and a blooper reel
I'm like a dove
I'm soaring high above
Like I'm in love with the sky
A bird at home only when I fly
You give me wings so I can go where I am going
What feels more at home than being in love?
What feels more at home than being in love!

Maybe just a moment in time
Maybe this is all that we get
Maybe it's enough that this moment isn't over yet
I'm not looking for an answer
I just want to ask
I'm not trying to see the future
I just want to know what's in the past
I'm forever looking away
It's not always easy to see,
There is something happening right in front of me
I spend so much time in my life
Waiting at the Skytrain station
It's not easy knowing what is real and what's imagination
I am just starting to believe in you

(For good or for worse we see the rocks begin to move)
When I wrote this song
I was stretched so thin
I had dug the hole
I was sitting in
And I knew I could see the sky
I could see all the clouds way up high
Tell myself this is all that I need to get by
(For good or for worse we see the rocks begin to move)
I start thinking that I might need to compromise
I start remembering there might be a chance for something nice
(Open your eyes, it's paradise, it's paradise)
(For good or for worse we see the rocks begin to move)
And I have learned that I can be
Two different people in the same body
And I will hold inside my head
The chance for failure or to triumph instead

I Just Noticed

I just noticed how I'm feeling
There's no time
I just noticed
There's no time, there's no time
People wear things on the outside
Hold on to them for too long
You can't change a thing about yourself
If you don't know it's there

My Bright Fantasy
03:20
|

|
It's not clear to me where I'm headed but I've got an idea
Devil's in the details but I've never paid attention to minutiae
Trip and stumble on a root on the forest floor
When you wake up you're in the same place you were before
But it's later and the stars are out
My bright fantasy!
Who are you and what are you doing in this cold dark place?
Did you really think that you would make it out unscathed?
Are you just passing through or is this a place where you belong?
Are you just passing through or is this where you've been all along?
And didn't notice til the lights went out?
My bright fantasy!
Maybe you're not who you thought you were
Maybe you're not the main character
Maybe you're not who you thought you were
But maybe you still have a role to play
My bright fantasy!

Real life, in real life, in real life, it's real life
I never knew that this could be happening
Could I ever know the way that you feel the same
And I've never known the kind of escapism that we escape, we go into another world and
I never knew that this could be happening
Could I ever know the way that you feel the same
And I've never known the kind of escapism that we escape, we go into another world and
On us, it's on us, be honest, be honest
I never knew that this could be happening
Could I ever know the way that you feel the same
And I've never known the way that it wraps around us, something permanent holding us both together
I never knew that this could be happening
Could I ever know the way that you feel the same
And I've never known the way that it wraps around us, something permanent holding us both together
(Real life, in real life)
I never knew that this could be happening
Could I ever know the way that you feel the same
And I've never known the way that it wraps around us, something permanent holding us both together
(In real life, it's real life)

All These Tiny Things
01:47

Build a castle made of sand and live inside the tower
Make a flower bed and lie down in a bed of flowers
Soft and small imaginary
Let's ignore the ordinary
Leaking through the window particles and waves of light
Cup your hands and carry it and save it for tonight
Soft and small imaginary
Let's ignore the ordinary
Looking at the world through a pocket mirror
All these tiny things, I can see how close we are

Pomegranate Seeds

A gift that no one wants at all
A pomegranate seed
That turns the summer into fall
A gift that no one needs
I'd rather be pulling weeds than raking leaves
I don't think I have the appetite for this
That doesn't mean that I'm not hungry
Things get simple when you're deep in the abyss
It's something that can fill my belly
And I don't want to cry right now
I don't have time to do it
Mark the path with crumbs and stones
Someday I'll go back through it, back through it
The moon will wax until it wanes
The tide comes in, goes out
The pomegranate seed, it stains
My fingers and my mouth
And I don't want to cry right now
I don't have time to do it
Mark the path with crumbs and stones
Someday I'll go back through it, back through it
And maybe someday I'll write a song
And maybe people will sing along
About Halloween 2022
Watching the fireworks from your hospital room with you

It's About Time
03:07

It's not about the lines on your face
It's not about the bad knee
It's not about wishing that you were any younger
Or had something that young people have
It's about time
And it's about the notes that you choose
And it's about time
And it's about the way that you fill someone else's shoes
And it's about time
And it's about space
And it's about time you looked it in the face
You're getting older now
You're getting older now
It's not about the drugs that you did
It's not about the drinking
It's not about the mistakes and the accidents that happened
Or the friends that you lost along the way
It's about the people that stay
And the people who could still come back
Cause it's about time
And anything will happen if you wait long enough
It's about time
And it's about space
And it's about time
And it's about space
And it's about time
And it's about the notes that you choose
And it's about time
And it's about the way that you fill someone else's shoes
And it's about time
And it's about space
And it's about time that you looked it in the face
You're getting older now
We're getting older now
