We Were Here
03:37
|
|||
VERSE 1:
Let’s take a ride down the coastal highway
Find ourselves an abandoned little hideaway
Write our names in the leaves of an aloe plant
What’s wrong with that?
Or take a chance on a dance club road trip
LA to SoHo picking up glowsticks
Spell it out with big purple words in the air
Everywhere
CHORUS:
We were here
We were here, yeah
Life’s too short to live it on the down low
I want the whole wide world to know
We were here
VERSE 2:
I got the urge to cruise out to Malibu
I’m so there for a double dare tattoo
A souvenir of the crazy thoughts we had
Or maybe we’ll look back on a
Real good time just hanging out
Play our guitars in the next random town
Sing some songs to make all the people smile
They’ll remember the night
CHORUS
Yeah
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
CHORUS 2:
We were here
We were here, yeah
Life’s too short to live it on the down low
I want the whole wide world to know
Life’s too short to live it on the down low
I want the whole wide world to know
We were here
We were here, yeah

Something In the Blood
03:13
|
|||
VERSE 1:
I’m made a little different but I’m not broken
Nineteen years in and I’m still learning
This road may be rough but I know where I’m going
CHORUS:
Something in the blood
Running inside me
Keeps me pushing through
Something in the blood
That’s what drives me
Keeps me fighting just like you
A little bit of spark, a whole lotta fire
It’s there in everyone
Something in the blood
VERSE 2:
“Why’d this happen to me?” that’s not the question
“What can I do?” is the one that I’m asking
I’m chasing my dreams, it’s just who I am
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Sometimes I wanna quit
Somedays it gets ugly
Somehow I rise above it
CHORUS
Something in the blood
Something in the blood
I’m made a little different but I’m not broken

Wild Rose
03:40
|
|||
VERSE 1:
She’s a bundle of tangled up mixed emotions
Unsteady as a full moon on the ocean
Never knows if she’s gonna sink or swim this time
On the outside you would never know
That on the inside she feels all alone
Like the winter cold, she’s waiting on the sun to shine
CHORUS:
She’s a wild rose
Sweet and beautiful, oh whoa
She’ll fake a smile when,
All the while she,
Just need someone there to hold her close
She’s a wild, wild rose
VERSE 2:
She’s an “I don’t want to tell you what I’m about”
Boxed up in her room screaming, “Let me out!”
But at the same time she does want to let you in
She’s a “leave me alone, but come back soon”
Kind of woman with a little girl attitude
Afraid that her own thorns will break her skin
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Makes you want to tell her
This won’t last forever
Just hold your head up high
And know...
CHORUS
Wild, wild rose
Wild, wild rose

Endless Summer
03:09
|
|||
VERSE 1:
There’s a trusty old, rusted out wood paneled wagon
Sitting in the Californian mud
Time is a tide pool that never stops turning
And somewhere the surf’s always up
CHORUS 1:
When the palm trees shiver
The dolphins remember
The Harleys that rumbled like thunder
The tourists leave town
The shops all shut down
At the end of the endless summer
VERSE 2:
Nobody lives in that ramshackle kingdom
Of cottages down on the beach
21 ghosts built from boards of old shipwrecks
A man with no name sold their dreams
CHORUS 2:
When the palm trees shiver
The dolphins remember
The long lonely song of winter
The locals leave town
With nothing but the sound
Of the end of the endless summer
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
CHORUS 3:
The ferris wheel sits up high on the pier
The last standing small town wonder
The truth is reflected in the house of mirrors
It’s the end of the endless summer
The end of the endless summer
OUTRO:
Time is a tide pool that never stops turning
And somewhere the surf’s always up
