about

A song about two beautiful people who make each other very happy.

lyrics

More than anything you wish you had a jar where you could put your favourite shades of blue
So I take you out to find one ‘cause I’d like nothing more than to see your wish come true
You swim reckless through the ocean even though you know that all your days are numbered
You say that all you’ve ever really wanted is to be remembered
You run out in the rain until everybody knows you’re not afraid
And I say that you don’t need to prove it and you tell me that your day’s been made

Chorus:
It would be so nice to come back around here
If it weren’t so easy to fall, no
The trip was shorter for us, dear
Since we never left at all

Like a bird locked in a cage with all your hopes and dreams and thoughts laid all around
You’re far above the Earth, and the key lies out of reach upon the ground
You walk lost along the sand even though the waters are in disharmony
You never close your eyes ‘cause that would block out all that you’d ever want to see
You run out in the rain hoping only to get lost along the way
I say you’ve found the road and all you need to do is follow me today

You float upon the water watching the sun go down and down to paint the skies
You smile and find all you have been looking for in the colours of their eyes

about

1921 Ontario

We're just two friends making music because that's what we want to do...when we have time for it. Usually it's music that fits in to a thematic or conceptual album. Because that stuff is super cool!
