LYRICS

Dreamin’ In California

We're no strangers
To the cold and damp
So many years
Fumbling for a lamp
For longer than
We care to think 'bout
It seemed like
There was no way out

Then I saw you
And you saw me there
Started thinking
We might go somewhere
Warm and bright
Bathed in the sunlight
Asking you
To never leave my sight

How did we end up
Dreamin' in California
I never thought
That we'd be here
Being with me
Ought to come with a warning
But you washed away my fears
We fought through the pain
And we left all the rain
It doesn't get better than this
Dreamin' in California
Dreamin' in California

We both have baggage
But we packed it
Took a while to move on
Fact is
Felt like the grey
Was never-ending
We made it through
By just pretending

Imagining a better someday
Helping each other
Find a better way
Now we're laying
Under palm trees
Everything is better
When it's just you and me

Falling asleep
With you right next to me
Wondering how lucky
Can one man be

Please Forgive Me

It was supposed to be
You and me against the world
Thinking I'd be your man
And that you would be my girl
So baby how could we be
So many miles apart
Standing in the kitchen
Mmm…bloodshot eyes and broken hearts
When I hear what I said
Coming off of your pretty lips
I can see I've got something
That I know I need to fix
But baby I was stupid
I don't know what I was thinking
You deserve better than me
And my heart is sinking

And I say I'm sorry
But I don't know if you know why
Please forgive me
For all the tears in both our eyes
Please forgive me
I know I've let you down
Please forgive me
I know I've hurt you now
Yeah, sorry's not enough
And living with me can be tough
But please forgive me
Please forgive me

I want to be the one you trust
With your feelings and your pain
But when I'm the one who caused it
Will you ever love me again
Fighting the urge to walk away
Yeah, I know that I need to stay
I'm just a guy and I make mistakes
But I want you for the rest of my days

Please forgive me
I know I've let you down
I know, I know
Please forgive me
I know I've hurt you now
Yeah, sorry's not enough
And living with me can be tough
But please forgive me
Please forgive me

You are the air I need
And right now I can't breathe

So…please forgive me
I know I've let you down
I know, I know, I know
Please forgive me
I know I've hurt you now
Oh yeah, sorry's not enough
And living with me can be tough
But please forgive me
Please forgive me
Please

Superhuman

I think I just hit
A wall in the sky
Can't see if I'm hurt
Won't open my eyes
Ignoring the wounds that
Might slow me down
Doing it all to
Keep you safe and sound

I make more than
My share of mistakes
And when I fall down
I feel the earth shake
I'm flesh and I'm bone
I'm flaws and I'm pain
But I will do it all over again

I ain't no hero
But I'm trying to be
Everything you needed from me
No I'm not bulletproof
You've seen me bleed
When push comes to shove
I struggle to breathe
It's not even you
That expects it from me
Might just be me
That wants me to be

Superhuman
Superhuman
Only human
I wanna be
Superhuman

Fifty two shades
Of ordinary
Fighting to keep
My secrets buried
Seeing the terrors
Behind every wall
Hoping to catch you
Whenever you fall

I ain't no hero
But I'm trying to be

Superhuman
Superhuman
Only human
I wanna be
Superhuman

I fly away
To save the day
When all you want
Is me to stay

I ain't no hero
But I'm trying to be

Superhuman
Superhuman
Only human
I wanna be
Superhuman
Superhuman
Superhuman

Gotta Keep Movin’

Gotta get out of my head
Gotta get out of my bed
Feeling all sorry for me
Ain't how it's supposed to be
Stop this layin' around
Dance to the beat that I found

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Pick myself off the floor
Cause that ain't me anymore

Gotta keep moving, moving
Bass is booming, booming
New day, resume improving
Moving, moving
Done with the doom and glooming
Moving, moving
Gotta keep moving
Gotta keep moving
Moving
moving

Sure, things ain't going my way
But that was so yesterday
Got my phone wallet keys
Rocking my new favorite tee
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I put my head down and go
And I'll just follow the flow

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Get my feet on the floor
Slide myself out the door

Gotta keep moving, moving
Bass is booming, booming
New day, resume improving
Moving, moving
Done with the doom and glooming
Moving, moving
Gotta keep moving
Gotta keep moving
Moving, moving

All this anxiety
Won't get the best of me
There ain't no stopping me now
Embrace the fact that maybe
We're all a little crazy

Gotta keep moving, moving
Bass is booming, booming
New day, resume improving
Moving, moving
Done with the doom and glooming
Moving, moving
Gotta keep moving
Gotta keep moving
Moving, moving

Gotta keep moving

I Will Be There

Seeing you now
Lot of life letdowns
It's a rough way to live
So many creeps to forgive
I know that you worry
That's the end of your story
But I can see you
And your heart beats true
So here I am
I will be there for you

When you're stuck in the mud
I will pull you free
If you're so deep in the trees
That you just can't see
When you need a hand
You can just take mine
Hang on for dear life
Til the sun can shine

I will be there
Not going nowhere
I ain't like them guys before
When you're hurting
When you're down
Feels like no one else is around
I will be there
Yeah, for you
I will be there
Just for you
Be there for you

You've been told
And you've been sold
A story 'bout you
That just wasn't true
I see you try your best
To keep a heart in your chest
Ain't broke all the way
So, you let me stay
I will be there
Every damn day

When you're stuck in the mud
I will pull you free
If you're so deep in the trees
That you just can't see
When you need a hand
You can just take mine
Hang on for dear life
Til the sun can shine

Sometimes you push me away
Just to see if I'll stay
But baby, it's alright
We can make up tonight

I will be there for you

Shiny

Woke up feeling hopeful today
I might have found a better way
Don't feel the way I usually do
Maybe it's all because of you

Lying in the light you give
This is how I want to live
All the love that you reflected
Feels like I am resurrected

You're so shiny
Can't believe that you would even want me
Yeah I can barely look at you
But all of me feels like brand new
Might end me down upon my knee
You're so shiny
So shiny
You're so shiny
You're so shiny

To tell the truth before we met
Did some things that I regret
I thought the thrill was in the chase
Man in the mirror hard to face

When you gave me your heart of gold
I felt unworthy truth be told
But you saw something deep in me
You chased the shadows you set me free

The fire in you the love you give
You fill the place the darkness lived
I put my heart inside your hands
To guide me to the promised land
My demons say this isn't real
Can I really trust the way I feel

Choose Love

What do you mean that
He treats you that way
Can't believe what I hear
I have so much to say
A girl like you can
Do much better than that
You should see what I see
So much here to unpack

Let me show you the ways
I would love you better
You should feel like a queen
Not a desperate beggar
Getting the scraps of
What love used to be
I would give you the world
Standing right next to me

Choose love
That treats you like a star
Choose love
That loves you the way you are
Not wanting to change you
Or trying to blame you
You deserve better than him by far
Choose love
Choose love
My love

There's reasons you're
Hanging with me
See the light in your eyes
Feel you finally breathe
Stay here beside me
Don't run back to him
Let our first kiss
Your new life begin

Choose love
That treats you like a star
Choose love
That loves you the way you are
Not wanting to change you
Or trying to blame you
You deserve better than him by far
Choose love
Choose love
My love

Oh oh ooo
Ooo ooo oh
My love
Oh ooo
Choose love
My love
Choose love

Choose love
That lifts you like the sun
Choose love
That knows you are the one
Not wanting to change you
Or trying to blame you
Cut from the past and just let it run
Choose love
Choose love
My love

Ooo ooo oh
Ooo ooo oh
My love

Happens To Me

Some days when it feels like you'll never win
Stuck on the outside trying to look in
Like nobody knows what it means to be you
Holding your breath, wait for the other shoe
Friends who act like they don't know you at all
Sorta feels like they might want you to fall
Even if it seems like no one gets you
You've been there for me, I am here for you

You and I are forever intertwined
Everything to me, you're always on my mind
Holding it together even when we're apart
Feel your ache in my soul and your pain in my heart
What happens to you, happens to me
Some things in this life just happen to be
More than you can handle on your own
Never forget that you're never alone
When it feels like the wounds won't ever heal
You'll always have someone who knows how it feels
What happens to you, happens to me
Happens to you, happens to me

Watching you cry feels like I'm gonna die
Feel the tears on your cheeks falling out of my eyes
Your silent whispers will always be heard
Be your someone to talk to without saying a word

Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
That's how I know you are never alone
Touching your face as I look in the mirror
Nothing I've seen could I see any clearer

What happens to you, happens to me
Some things in this life just happen to be
More than you can handle on your own
Never forget that you're never alone
When it feels like the wounds won't ever heal
You'll always have someone who knows how it feels
What happens to you, happens to me
Happens to you, happens to me

Hard Times

The weight of this feeling has been pulling you down
Made you the queen, gave you a rusty crown
Living is bleeding, but what else can you do
When even your heart has turned its back on you

Let down by the ones who promised to love you
Body and bones feel like wearing cement shoes
Asleep on the floor, waking up on the sea
But that ship hasn't sailed. Find your way back to me

Stay in the boat, don't you give up now
Screaming inside that you don't know how

Hard times don't last forever
They come and go just like the weather
Peek through the pain and keep up the dreaming
Feeling the love, embracing the meaning
Keep on fighting into the twilight
Face down the storm so you can steal the sunlight
Hard times don't last forever
Don't last forever
Won't last forever

The holes in your heart are leaving you hollow
The things you have seen are so hard to swallow
Asking "Who am I?" to look for something more
When it takes all you have to make it out the front door

Stay in the boat, don't you give up now
Screaming inside that you don't know how

Not trying to hide your face
Just trying to find your place
Need to feel like you're more
Than just taking up space
