VERSE 1
Got a full tank of gas
But I don’t know where to go,
Anywhere will do just as long as its not –
Home’s the place where I can’t get any rest,
It seems funny, but it’s true.
Let’s take the car,
Let’s take it very, very far,
We’ll go driving through the night.
You take the wheel and drive as fast as you can deal,
Wing’s spread, taking flight.
CHORUS
Aye-oh, aye-aye-oh, aye-aye-oh,
Aye-oh, aye-aye-oh, aye-aye-oh.
VERSE 2
Past all the places
Where I made my memories,
We’ll leave them all behind.
What good’s a memory if it only brings you pain?
We’re stumbling through the night.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The road, it winds ahead,
All these twists and turns and bends,
Will test all our decisions.
We’ll put the car in gear,
Wipe away all our fear,
This journey’s just beginning.
CHORUS
OUTRO
We’ll go driving on and on,
See the places that we’ve gone,
Aye-oh, aye-oh.
The wind wipes away regret,
There are things we should forget,
Aye-oh, aye-oh.
We can weather any storm,
Moving forward will keep us warm,
Aye-oh, aye-oh.
There’s no need to turn around,
If we get lost, we will be found,
Aye-oh, aye-oh,
Aye-oh, aye-oh.

Winter

VERSE 1
I watched you from afar that year,
The snow fell heavy, but the air was clear.
Over mountains and winding hills,
I followed you through winter’s chill.
CHORUS
But you’ve done this all before, oh-oh.
And I don’t want to be one more, oh-oh.
I can’t tell you how I feel, ee-eel.
Cause only a stupid little girl
Would think that this could be real.
VERSE 2
We talked for hours, til the early dawn,
The sky turned pink and then you were gone.
Alcohol creates a friendship illusion,
And all that night I thought you were my resolution.
CHORUS
Oh-oh. Repeat
BRIDGE
I sat on your bed
And watched her name on your phone,
It was after midnight
And I should have been at home,
In the springtime,
It was her you would call,
I wish I could say
That I didn’t mind at all.
OUTRO CHORUS
But you’d done that all before, oh-oh.
And I was just one more, oh-oh.
You will do it all again, eh-en.
And leave them frozen at winter’s end, eh-end.
OUTRO
Eh-end. Repeat
Stupid little girls.

The Flood

VERSE 1
The water crept in through the door, mmh.
In silence, swept across the floor, mmh.
Your bleeding heart awoke once more, mmh.
Atop the roof, ‘twas help you called for, mmh.
CHORUS
The flood that filled your house that day,
It took your whole damn life away,
You sent a prayer out for a sign,
But it didn’t reach you in time.
VERSE 2
The people passed in clouds of fear, mmh.
The sky it cried its great big tears, mmh.
Hands, they reached, but failed to grasp, you let them sail on past,
The water rose and it rose fast, mmh.
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE
You took a step with aching feet,
Fell to despair upon your knees,
Bent at the waist, you prayed for peace,
Your shoulders hunched against the breeze,
You turned your head and looked at me,
Then the water dragged you to the deep.
Then the water dragged you to the deep,
To the deep, to the deep.
CHORUS

Sofia

VERSE 1
It’s autumn and the leaves are dancing,
To the busker’s trumpet across the square,
The wind is cold but this coffee keeps me warm,
It’s getting harder to bare.
VERSE 2
It’s been a while since I saw your face,
We said goodbye in this foreign land,
I feel so alone without your comforting embrace,
I’m just a lonely nomad.
CHORUS
Sofia, I’m coming home,
And where this path is overgrown,
I’ll find a way, I’m not the person I once was,
Oh, Sofia, I’m coming home.
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE 3
It feels like there’s a war inside of me,
Should I stay or should I go?
If happiness is a choice, then why can’t I choose to be free?
That’s the path that I’ll follow.
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
CHORUS
VERSE 4
I’ll never forget that chilly morning,
Sitting on the bench under the snow,
The memory on my skin to remind me,
I am stronger than I know.

(Watch Out) Boy

VERSE 1
The autumn leaves are falling
And it’s dark inside my heart,
It’s been almost a year since you left.
I have counted all the days
And nights we’ve spent apart,
Oh, and almost every hour that I wept.
VERSE 2
It’s been a lonely summer
That I’ve spent without you here,
Praying to the gods to send you back.
My clarity is fading,
And with it goes my fear,
Something deep inside of me has cracked.
CHORUS
Watch out boy, I’m coming for you,
And I’m gonna make you mine,
Watch out boy, I’m gonna find you,
You can run, but you can’t hide.
VERSE 3
The thought of you consumes me,
And I can’t get no sleep,
Staring at your picture on my wall.
The sun has lost its warmth,
And I’m wading in too deep,
And everywhere I look there is no shore.
VERSE 4
I’m lost inside my mind,
Oh, and this insanity,
Has become my dearest little friend.
And I feel some remorse for your
Friends and family,
Oh, but there is only one way this can end.
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
‘SOFT’ CHORUS
CHORUS
OUTRO CHORUS
You can run but you can’t,
Boy don’t you know that you can’t,
You can run but you can’t, na na hide.
You can run but you can’t,
You can’t hide.
