Lyrics

You And Me

If the day comes in heavy if the street turns cold
I will still feel rich with your hand in mine to hold
No map no plan no perfect sky as long as it is you and me I'm fine
We do not need a big parade we do not need a sign

Just a small corner table and a little borrowed time
Let the outside keep on rushing let it blur and disagree
In here the world turns simple when it is you with me
I used to chase the sparkle like it owed me something back

but you show up so steady and I get my breathing back
Even when the room is crowded even when the lights are loud
you make a quiet shelter like sunshine in a crowd
Let the clock keep talking let the city do its thing

I do not need a louder promise I just need what you bring
As long as it is you and me I'm good I'm good
Every little broken day turns bright like it should
As long as it is you and me stay close stay close

All I need is right here that is all I know
You and me you and me stay close stay close
Ooh ooh ooh
We can miss the perfect timing take the long way instead

Find a window share a joke let the day fall on our heads
If tomorrow wants an answer we can give it when it calls
Tonight is just a slow dance with the music in the walls
Let the clock keep talking let the city do its thing

I do not need a louder promise I just need what you bring
As long as it is you and me I'm good I'm good
Every little broken day turns bright like it should
As long as it is you and me stay close stay close

All I need is right here that is all I know
You and me you and me stay close stay close
I do not need a bigger moment I do not need a louder room
When your smile is my direction every season finds its bloom

As long as it is you and me I'm good I'm good
Every little broken day turns bright like it should
As long as it is you and me stay close stay close
All I need is right here that is all I know

You and me stay close
Stay close

Fast Lane Slow Down

My days come pre-packed, tied up in little knots
I open one, another one is waiting on this path
I keep my voice unbusy, I keep my smile in place
But somewhere under all of that, I am losing pace

The room is full of talking, but my mind is on a track
I do the thing I promised, then I circle right back
I am good at being ready, I am great at being strong
Just not so good at noticing when the moment is gone

I do not need a louder night, I need a better kind of time
So tell me, tell me honestly
How do I hold the now and let the hurry fly
Fast lane, slow down, slow down

Easy when you are around
Breathe in, look up, stay
Let the rush drift away
Fast lane, slow down, slow down

I want this right now
We share a plate of street heat, sweet spice on our lips
We watch the city flicker like a deck of moving ships
You two march into silence, you laugh and I exhale

And all the little shirts in me begin to look so pale
I do not need a perfect scene, I need a pocket in the beat
So tell me, tell me honestly
Can we make enough feel like everything

Fast lane, slow down, slow down
Easy when you are around
Breathe in, look up, stay
Let the rush drift away

Fast lane, slow down, slow down
I want this right now
If I keep running, I will run past you
Past the small good things I don't need to hold on to

So meet me in the simple, meet me in the sun
Put your hand on my heartbeat and slow the whole world down
Fast lane, slow down, slow down
Easy when you are around

Breathe in, look up, stay
Let the rush drift away
Fast lane, slow down, slow down
I want this right now

Slow down, slow down
Right now
Right now

I Know What I Want

I used to change my mind like the weather
Say yes then no, just to hold it together
Asking everybody what they thought was right
Till I lost my colors in the black and white
I know one quiet night when I couldn't sleep
I heard a little voice from a place down deep
You know what you feel, you don't have to hide
You can choose your own road, you can pick your side

I was scared to say this is who I am
Living like my life was a second-hand plan
But if my heart says go, I will take that chance
Let the whole room watch while I start my dance
I know what I want now, I can feel it in the way my heartbeat moves
I know what I want now, I'm done stepping back when I came here to groove
If I fall, I'll fall on my own two feet Thank myself for getting up out of my seat
I know what I want now, and I'm not backing down

I won't wait around for someone else to choose
Got a life on the line, I don't wanna lose
If my joy feels real and my love feels true
That's the green light saying this is you

I know what I want now, I can feel it in the way my heartbeat moves
I know what I want now, I'm done stepping back when I came here to groove

If I fall, I'll fall on my own two feet
Thank myself for getting up out of my seat
I know what I want now, and I'm not backing down

If I fall, I'll fall on my own two feet
Thank myself for getting up out of my seat
I know what I want now, and I'm not backing down

Nothing Is Better Than Love

I woke up with the sunshine in my chest, too, babe
Didn't need a reason, didn't need it explained
Poured myself a coffee, smiled into the steam
Said, girl, you made it this far, that's already a dream

You know the world keeps talking down what we should be
But they don't feel the rhythm that is under my feet
I got a heart still open and a soul still young
And everything inside me is a love song, son

Some days I'm my own hero in a half-bad film
Tripping over worries till they reach the brim
But I take a little breath, put a record on
Tell myself, you're doing fine, keep rolling on

Nobody else can feel my joy like I do
No one else can dance inside my shoes
When I choose to love this moment that I'm living in
I can feel the whole wide world start to swing

So I raise my glass to the love I found
And the people that hold me and the strength I've crowned
If my heart is talking, I'll turn it up above
Cause every little whisper says, nothing beats love

Nothing is better than love, love, love
Nothing feels sweeter than love, love, love
When I'm kind to myself, I can get so much more
Open up my arms like a wide open door

Nothing is better than love, love, love
Nothing is better than love

I used to wait for someone else to set me free
To tell me I was worthy, put the light on me
Now I look in the mirror and I say first
Baby, you're not even at your worst
Then I thank my heart for beating through the noise
I can share that love like a simple choice
If we all start glowing from the joy we keep
We can turn this little club into a galaxy

Nothing is better than love, love, love
Nothing feels sweeter than love, love, love
When I'm kind to myself, I can get so much more
Open up my arms like a wide open door
Nothing is better than love, love, love
Nothing is better than love, love, love
Nothing is better than love, love, love
Nothing lifts higher than love, love, love
If your heart feels tired, let it dance tonight
Let the music hose it in a sad plum light

Nothing is better than love, love, love
Nothing is better than love

Set The Clock Back

Sometimes I want to turn it back
Rewind the little scenes
Back when we had time to waste
Back when we could breathe

I miss the way the laughter fell
Like coins into a jar
Small days that felt like oceans
Not a race to get too far

I keep a thousand photographs
But they cannot hold the sound
That moment when you said my name
And everything slowed down
Nostalgia is a sugar hit
It melts before I know
I take one sip, I smile a bit
Then let the record go

I do not want to live behind me
But I do not want to lose me
So meet me at the edge of time
Where yesterday can shine
And tomorrow still moves
Set the clock back just a minute Just a minute

Let me feel it, let me keep it While it is still in it
Then I step right forward, forward, forward
Do not lose track Move forward, forward

Set the clock back then I let it run
I take the memory And I take the sun

We dance between the headlights
Between the birds and blink
I like the way tonight it tastes
Like cinnamon and ink
Your head is on the future
Your eyes are on my face
You make a hurry heartless
You give the moment space

I do not need to stop the world
I just need to stop and feel it
So meet me at the edge of time
Where yesterday can shine
And tomorrow still moves

Set the clock back just a minute Just a minute
Let me feel it, let me keep it While it is still in it
Then I step right forward, forward, forward
Do not lose track Move forward, forward

Set the clock back then I let it run
I take the memory And I take the sun

I used to chase the moment Boy, I let it come to me
Hold it like a candle flame Bright and temporary

If I miss what I have got
I will never get it back
So I kiss the past goodnight
And I stay on my own track

Set the clock back just a minute Just a minute
Let me feel it, let me keep it While it is still in it
Then I step right forward, forward, forward
Do not lose track Move forward, forward
Set the clock back then I let it run
I take the memory And I take the sun

Let it run, let it run
Move forward, forward

Let Me Hold This Day

Just a simple little feeling that I'm good to go
I've spent too many days running past my joy
Like I didn't have the right to just enjoy
But today I'm gonna slow down, let my shoulders fall

Say thank you to the sunshine on this peeling wall
If my heart feels light in this everyday
I wanna hold it close and hear it say
Don't rush, don't run, don't throw this away

You don't get a second of this exact day
If the universe is giving you this sweet small time
Wrap it up in your arms like a favorite line
Let me hold this day

Like a picture in my pocket that I won't misplace
Let me hold this day
Every breath, every laugh, every sunlit face
I don't know what tomorrow's gonna send my way

But right now, right here, I'm okay
Let me hold this day
Let me hold this day
Someday I'll look back when the skies are gray

And I'll meet a little memory to light my way
So I'm writing this moving and a secret song
To remind myself I've been this strong
Let me hold this day

Like a picture in my pocket that I won't misplace
Let me hold this day
Every breath, every laugh, every sunlit face
I don't know what tomorrow's gonna send my way

But right now, right here, I'm okay
Let me hold this day
Let me hold this day
Let me hold this day

Not Giving Up Tonight

I've been standing in the doorway of my own life
Watching chances come and go like trains at night
Telling myself, next one, I'll be brave enough
Then I lock up my heart when the road gets rough

I've been writing little dreams on the back of bills
Folding them away when I feel the chill
But somewhere in the noise of the city's hum
There's a voice in my chest saying, your time will come

I've been tired, I've been low, I've been losing sleep
But I'm not ready yet to quit on what I keep
If the night gets heavy and the climb feels high
I'll still lift my head to the club rooms, yeah

I'm not giving up tonight
I've come too far to leave my heart behind
I'm not giving up tonight
I'll keep on walking till the stars align

Even when the doubts are loud and tight
I'll be dancing with my shadows in the smoky light
I'm not giving up, not giving up tonight
Sometimes courage is a whisper, not a hurricane

Just a tiny step forward through the same old rain
But every time I choose to try one more time
I can feel a little fire in this heart of mine
I've been scared, I've been hurt, I've been told sit down

But I won't trade my hope for a safer crown
If the road is long, I'll still sing my song
Cause a broken hearted dreamer can still be strong
I'm not giving up tonight

I've come too far to leave my heart behind
I'm not giving up tonight
I'm not giving up tonight
I'll keep on walking till the stars align

Even when the doubts are loud and tight
I'll be dancing with my shadows in the smoky light
I'm not giving up, not giving up tonight
I'm not giving up tonight

I'll shout out what my soul can't hide
I'm not giving up tonight
Every step I take puts the fear aside
If I fall, I'll rise back into this light

With the band behind my back and my eyes up bright
I'm not giving up, not giving up tonight
I'm not giving up tonight
I'll shout out what my soul can't hide

I'm not giving up tonight
I'll shout out what my soul can't hide
I'm not giving up tonight
I'm not giving up tonight

What a Perfect Day

Sun came through my window like a kind old friend
Coffee in my cup didn't spill it for once
Then a stranger on the corner with a silly grin
We both started laughing and the day began

Got my work done early, took the long way home
Waved at all the neighbors on their phones
Every little moment had a golden frame
Like the world was whispering my secret name

I know life's not always shining like today
Some days feel heavy and some dreams stray
But when the light shows up in a simple way
I wanna stop and hear my own heart say

What a perfect day, I'm gonna hold it
Keep this little sunshine in my mind
What a perfect day, I'm gonna fold it
Like a letter that I read on dark nights

Life goes up and down, I know that's the way
But right here, right now, I can honestly say
What a perfect day, what a perfect day
When tomorrow comes and it's not as bright

When the sky turns gray in the middle of the night
I close my eyes and I press replay
On the way I felt on this perfect day
What a perfect day, I'm gonna hold it

Keep this little sunshine in my mind
What a perfect day, I'm gonna fold it
Like a letter that I read on dark nights
Life goes up and down, I know that's the way

But right here, right now, I can honestly say
What a perfect day, what a perfect day
What a perfect day, what a perfect day

Back to My Hometown

I took the train back to my hometown street
Same old station, same cracked concrete
Little cafe on the corner, still spelling my name
Thought nothing here has really changed
Ran into you by the record store You said, wow, you look better than before
My heart skipped once like the old school days For a minute I was lost in the teenage haze

We walked those roads like we used to do
Talking about the us we thought we knew
But under every joke and every smile
I felt how far I'd gone in all this time

I went back to my hometown
And I saw who I used to be with you
I went back to my hometown
I went back to my hometown
And the picture didn't shine like it used to
For a moment it was sweet, then the feeling passed through
Cause I know I got it better than I ever did with you
I went back to my hometown
But my heart lives in the life I'm walking now

You told the stories like a greatest hits show
Same old punchlines from years ago
But I've been living in a different zone
Where the nights are kinder and the days feel strong
You asked, do you miss it? Could you come back here?
I smiled and said, I'm happy where I am, I give
The past is pretty and I saw a spotlight But it never held me like my future, my
I'm grateful for the memories that brought me here
But I'm not gonna live inside that year
I can love who I was and still move on
Cause the best of me is in the road I'm on

I went back to my hometown
And I saw who I used to be with you
I went back to my hometown
I went back to my hometown
And the picture didn't shine like it used to
For a moment it was sweet, then the feeling passed through
Cause I know I got it better than I ever did with you
I went back to my hometown
But my heart lives in the life I'm walking now

So here's to what we were and it let me fade
To every wrong turn that still got me here today

I'll raise a glass to the past and then set it down
Walk out of that space, love, and then back into my time

I went back to my hometown
Just to see if my heart would run to you
I went back to my hometown
But the truth in my chest felt something new
I got smile at what we had but I'm glad we had through
Cause I know I got it better than I ever did with you

I went back to my hometown
But my future is the place I'm headed now

I went back to my hometown
Now I know I was right to muddy go
I went back to my hometown
I went back to my hometown
Promise you'll be what I needed most to know
That the best of all my days are the ones together with you
And I wouldn't say my word now for another run with you

I went back to my hometown But the rest of my story's starting now

The Sun Brings Back the Day

Winter had me counting all the sleepless nights
Waiting for a sunrise, I'd forgot the lights
Streetlamps peering over time along my way
I almost lost the meaning of a brighter day
Wrapped up in a coat that never felt too warm
Breaths like little clouds in a quiet storm
But somewhere in the distance on a frozen street
I felt a little change in the air I breathe
When the sky gets heavy and the colors fade
You start to think the light has lost its way
But even in the longest, darkest blue
There's a promise that keeps coming back to you

The sun brings back the day
Turns the longest winds of night to gold
The sun brings back the day
Warms the little corners of my soul
And I thought the light was gone for good
It was hiding just behind the neighborhood
The sun brings back the day
And I come back to life again

Now I see the windows waking up in gold
People on the sidewalk walking like they're bold
Coffee in my fingers, music in my head
Sunlight painting colors where the shadows spread

Every little ray feels like a brand new song
Telling all my tired bones they still belong
I lift my face and let the breakers sing
Feel a brand new chapter starting on my skin
When the sky gets heavy and the colors fade
You start to think the light has lost its way
But even in the longest, darkest blue
There's a promise that keeps coming back to you

The sun brings back the day
Turns the longest winds of night to gold
The sun brings back the day
Warms the little corners of my soul
And I thought the light was gone for good
It was hiding just behind the neighborhood
The sun brings back the day
And I come back to life again

Oh, I'm standing in the dark and I can't see through
Wondering if the morning still remembers you
Just hold on tight, let your heartbeat stay
It's only past the skyline, there's a brighter day

The sun brings back the day
Turns the longest winds of night to gold
The sun brings back the day
Warms the little corners of my soul
And I thought the light was gone for good
It was hiding just behind the neighborhood
The sun brings back the day
And I come back to life again

The sun brings back the day
Turns the longest winds of night to gold
Puts a little fire in my feet It brings back the day
It's a colder city, feels so sweet
And every time a moment finds my face
I will never lose hope in this place
The sun brings back the day
And I come back to life again

Another Day Tomorrow

Sayin' breathe my love, you're not alone
People like to tell you, you should always be fine
Smile a little bigger, stay inside the line
But love's got storms and it's okay to feel
You can cry in the dark and still be real
So I shake off the water and I lift my chin
Till my tired heart will dry again

Every sunset fallin' and a tired sky
Is makin' room for another sunrise
So when the night feels longer than it ought to be
I put a little faith in what I cannot see
If today was heavy and a little too long
I'll whisper to myself this simple song

There's another day tomorrow
The sun will find its way back through the grey
There's another day tomorrow
And I'll still be here, I'll be okay
When the world feels rough and my hope feels
low I remind my heart of what I know

There's another day tomorrow
Another day tomorrow
Some days I stumble, some days
I try But every day counts on this little high
If I can hang on through the rise and fall
Tomorrow is a promise whispering
You can have it all
There's another day tomorrow

The sun will find its way back through the grey
There's another day tomorrow
And I'll still be here, I'll be okay
When the world feels rough and my hope feels low
I remind my heart of what I know
There's another day tomorrow
Another day tomorrow
