adamenvelope There are so many catchy songs in here, but I somehow found myself liking "Stay" the best. It wouldn't usually be my kinda genre, but Garrison just nails the track. Favorite track: Stay (2018).

unrighteousvoid So much variety in genres and sounds. From the catchy pop of 'Love' and 'Not Much to Miss' to the pure beauty and vocals of 'A Sound I'll Never Know' and 'Don't Run Away'. There's something for every mood. Favorite track: A Sound I'll Never Know.

fluttersaurus There are many genres explored in this album, and no matter which song I'm listening to it feels comforting. Like a warm blanket of lyric-y goodness I just want to curl up in. Definitely recommend! Favorite track: House of Glass (2018).

1.
(v1) I can't believe that I thought it'd be easy Well I guess that no one's perfect I was deceived by a thing we call dreamin' 'Cause I thought I couldn't hurt it Now look at me, it's so easy to see Something's hidin' what I asked for It's been years now And I'm still seekin' it out, oh (chorus) Maybe I'm only stuck On my own cloud above Maybe it's okay Or maybe I'm insane Maybe it's meant to be so tough Ohhhhh, or maybe all I need is love (v2) Once again, I can feel myself fadin' But I see a new life being colored in I can tell that my heart is done achin' But I wonder if I've gained another skin I can't stop this transformation An odd sensation's takin' me for a ride All the way back through my mind
2.
(v1) Don't really know if she saw me I wonder if I'll ever learn Oh yes, I know I'll be sorry If I don't make it clear to her The lady's got a knack for excellence Clearly not an accident Elegant perfection she is Yeah, she's the girl who's got everything But emptiness (chorus) But (So) will you ever share with me? My little fashionista can't get a break Too many things to do And there's no escaping your gravity I guess it's obvious that others are drawn The way I am to you And how could I blame them? (v2) Will she see me when surely I'm invisible? Will she hear me if I don't make a sound at all? Why am I fighting a losing battle? And why from the lower ground? Well, they told me my heart would carry me around (repeat chorus)
3.
(v1) Something tells me my life is about to change Like I'm never going back And I feel as if nothing will be the same As if everything goes black Call me out if it seems like I'm paranoid Well, it extends beyond the eye There's so much fear inside (chorus) (what are the odds) What are the odds that I would find myself where I began? (what are the odds) How high is the chance of running 'round in circles now and then? (what are the odds) Maybe it's all in my mind, but it's about time I read the signs Oh, it's about time! It's about time! (v2) What if all that I do is insignificant? What if nothing matters now? I would take back the time wasted if I could But I don't even know how All my worries have lead me to emptiness But at least I've been around At least it's over now (repeat chorus) (what are the odds) What are the odds that I would find myself where I began? (what are the odds) How high is the chance of running 'round in circles now and then? (what are the odds) Maybe it's all in my mind, but it's about time I read the signs Oh, it's about time! It's about time!
4.
(v1) Would you say it now? Wouldn't you stil say yes if I asked nicely enough? Or would you go and just make the same mistake? I tried listening, but all I got were excuses and a silence from you I hope you know you won't get another take Why'd you bother coming back if you knew I'd say (chorus 1) I don't need you now Don't even think about it You couldn't get me back if you tried Don't give me that Already had your chance No reason to wonder why Once upon a time, I was in love with a boy who didn't miss me enough I guess I'm not much to miss (v2) What did you expect? What'd you hope to find when you went off and changed your mind Though I know you won't tell me anyway If you look around, you can clearly see that hearts are no to be toyed with And that's why they call it playing games Thought you got an extra life, but it's game over (chorus 2) I don't need you now Don't even think about it You couldn't get me back if you tried Don't give me that Already had your chance No reason to wonder why Once upon a time, I was in love with a boy who didn't miss me enough I guess you're not missing much I guess I'm not much to miss (bridge) She's a lucky find, I hope you treat her right Maybe with some time you'll forget me (repeat chorus 2)
5.
(v1) My my, I guess you choose who you choose Nice try, you always win or you lose Sometimes I feel it's not worth helping I know I may be one of kind It's strange to think she'd give me a try But it's still a little underwhelming (chorus) I'll never know the feeling of being loved And I'll never feel the warmth of the sun above My heart is cold, and soul is growing old But I'll still be waiting for the day when she'll say The day when she'll say hello The day when she'll say hello (v2) So hard to see her all of the time Outside turning all other eyes Feels like another hopeless story I've dreamt of one day catching her eye With her attention only mine But it's still a little too much for me (Repeat chorus) But I'll still be waiting for the day when she'll say The day when she'll say hello
6.
(v1) Day to another, All with each other One by the other, Always together somehow Without a reason, Change in the season Killing the feeling, Burning and bleeding out Sudden disconnection here And it just goes around No-oh! (chorus) Give me back my destiny Tell me who I'm supposed to be Even if I'm sound asleep I'll be waiting patiently Put me in place Color me in Fill in the blanks Let me begin again Or I'm a silhouette (v2) We were gonna be the heroes of the world But we were caught up in the tangles and the curls of life Someone tell me that it's all a little lie I can see it but I don't know what I did this time Now I have to find a way to make it all okay No-oh! (repeat chorus) (bridge) It'll never be the same Like in all the good old days But without you I feel incomplete Never gonna settle down Not until your safe and sound You're all exactly what I need (repeat half chorus) (repeat chorus) Or I'm a silhouette
7.
(v1) There's an echo out in the outside world There's a whispering in the breeze If you're listening though the falling leaves There's a dream for everything (pre-chorus) All I've ever wanted is a friend Someone who understands me and doesn't just pretend (chorus) I know they're out there somewhere Just waiting to say hello And I hear their voices calling But with this fear of eyes It's a sound I'll never know (v2) It's another day with the same blue sky And the same sunrise of yesterday I'm a distance out from the city lights And I know I shouldn't stay (repeat pre-chorus) All I've ever wanted is a friend Someone who understands me and doesn't just pretend (repeat chorus) I know they're out there somewhere Just waiting to say hello And I hear their voices calling But with this fear of eyes It's a sound I'll never know (bridge) One would think I’d learn After the first time Loneliness just hurts After a lifetime (repeat chorus) I know there's someone out there Just waiting to say hello And I hear their voices calling me But with this fear of eyes It's a sound I'll never know Never know…
8.
(v1) With an ever-caring soul and soft blue eyes And a kindness from your heart, you've stolen mine Let me borrow you a moment Can you see where this is goin'? Don't be afraid, I'm always right behind 'Cause you make my heart flutter You make my heart flutter (chorus) It's a thought in my mind It's a feeling inside You make my heart flutter You make my heart flutter I can see it's a sign But you make me so blind You make my heart flutter You make my heart flutter (v2) All the judging eyes, clouding up your day And the harmful words, everything they say But no matter what the weather You're as beautiful as ever Come along with me, there's nothing in our way 'Cause you make my heart flutter You make my heart flutter (repeat chorus) It's a thought in my mind It's a feeling inside You make my heart flutter You make my heart flutter I can see it's a sign But you make me so blind You make my heart flutter You make my heart flutter (guitar solo) (repeat chorus) It's a thought in my mind It's a feeling inside You make my heart flutter You make my heart flutter I can see it's a sign But you make me so blind You make my heart flutter You make my heart flutter
9.
(v1A) I've seen enough here, to feel I don't belong My imagination, again has lead me on This stubborn aching, has a mind of its own I've left, but I won't tell you where I've gone (v1B) I've never known that, the world could be so mean I'll never go back, to who I used to be A steady runway, is all that I would need To reason with myself behind the scenes (chorus) (Is it me) Is it me, or can you see through my walls As if they'd never shown? (Could it be) Could it be, all because of my lies I've broken my own bones (No more throwing stones) (v2A) I could have sworn I, I had a life before My short attention, had wanted something more I can't erase it, I know I won't forget But at least I learned my lesson in the end (v2B) Oh, winter breezes, were never gone so fast It's straight ahead now, and no more looking back Like separation, letting go of the past And trying to rebuild my house of glass (repeat chorus x2)
10.
(v1) My little home This little town They don't need me My simple life This simple grin They betray me Their lying eyes My cracking shell Their phony smiles My low morale Emotional warfare Has got the best of me (chorus) When you're without me It'll be easy to share And if you need me You can pretend I'm there You'll never see me We'll never meet again 'Cause even without me You have your other friends (v2) I wonder how They'd think of me If I left them They wouldn't care They wouldn't mind And I wouldn't let them No serenade No lullaby No metaphor Can change my mind 'Cause somewhere out there Is my "Once upon a time" (repeat chorus) When you're without me It'll be easy to share And if you need me You can pretend I'm there You'll never see me We'll never meet again 'Cause even without me You have your other friends
11.
Stay (2018) 04:01
(v1) I always wished that my eyes were playing tricks on me Whenever I'd see your names Engraved upon stones cut out just for you At least they're not the same (pre-chorus) I'm reminded every day that your gone But could you show a little mercy for once? (chorus) And won't you stay in my dreams? And don't you ever leave Don't make me miss you any more than I do So won't you stay in my dreams? (v2) I'd never go as far as pleading for a miracle Cause time has its own mind But you should know that I've locked up all those memories 'Cause you were my best find (Repeat pre-chorus) (short chorus) So, won't you stay in my dreams? And don't you ever leave Don't make me miss you any more than I do So won't you stay (Bridge) In my dreams? I took your friendship for granted Ooooohhh But I should be grateful I had it And look what happened (repeat short chorus) (repeat short chorus)
12.
(v1) I saved a row even though I know it won't be taken I thought at first you'd never go I was so mistaken I was told Life won't last forever But I've gone beyond the marker (chorus) What's one to do How's one to feel Where's one to go When their heart won't open? So far away Yet so nearby Feels as if someone's still watching over me So here's to hoping (v2) Now-a-days I pick and choose My circumstances I don't believe fate is up For givin' second chances If I'm right Time goes on forever Feels like there's so much to remember (repeat chorus) (bridge) So here's to holding on to a little faith Keepin' up with the present day Standing well with the friends I made Making sure that I don't lose my way (repeat chorus) So here's to hoping
13.
(v1) I still go strolling through the town It's not so hard to figure out 'Cause I love to be out and about But only sometimes, only sometimes (v2) I still go flying through the blue There's not much left for me to do You'd find it soothing if you knew But only sometimes, only sometimes Only sometimes, only sometimes (Chorus) Oh, the sun burns But it's never Enough to light up all around the world You don't know me You can't find me You won't see behind my eyes Until the sunrise (v2) I still go wand'ring in the rain No other way to ease the pain Feels like just rinsing off the stain But only sometimes, only sometimes (Bridge) Oh, it's been said I'm lost and alone But it won't bother me As I sit inside my throne (Chorus) Oh, the sun burns But it's never Enough to light up all around the world You don't know me You can't find me You won't see behind my eyes Until the sunrise
14.
(v1) Tell me it's personal, then say it twice But I can hear even more behind your eyes There's no illusion when you hide your lies Why don't we sit and talk a while? (v2) I don't want to take too long, or long at all Just tell me how you feel, and share your thoughts When I was your age I never felt the same But you can tell me anyway (chorus) Don't run away You can pack your bags Buy your ticket take your train You don't have to wait a day Don't run away The rain will soon come down One day wash away this town You can leave, but don't run away (v3) I hope you're listening just like you say I need a shoulder I can lean on for the day I have been feeling like I must be on my way 'Cause no one has told me I should stay Is that ok? (chorus) Don't run away You can pack your bags Buy your ticket Take your train You don't have to wait a day Don't run away The rain will soon come down One day wash away this town You can leave, but don't run away
15.
(v1) She's only a princess In the eyes of the world But she's my queen She's a night at the circus Lemon ice cream swirl Cause she's so sweet Like a field of roses Like a melody Sung by an angel choir I had always imagined It was just my mind But she's no dream (chorus) Bound as one we will stay Close beside or far away No one's ever gonna say You and I are just a game (v2) Never wanders without me Never drops his guard And that’s all right Says he can't live without me Says I'm in his heart But he's my life Like a reverent soldier Like a guardian Who's always looking out Never thought I would find him Or that he'd find me But how he's mine (repeat chorus x2)
16.
(v1) How slowly those years passed Now I'm finally here at last Oh heaven knows I missed you I spent so many nights Wondering how I'd make things right Oh can you please forgive me (pre-chorus) I never knew how bad it'd hurt to be alone It took a thousand years but now I'm finally coming home, Oh (chorus) After all we've been through Fate has brought me back to you We'll be stronger than we've ever been before And though darkness may creep in It won't take over again 'Cause I'll be with you forever more (v2) I can't believe it's true That I've made it back to you Oh I was lost without you So happy by your side We're better unified No other way I'd want to (repeat pre-chorus) (repeat chorus) (bridge) I'm sorry that I hurt you So sorry That I left you alone But now I want you to be sure That as we open this new door I will be there by your side Forever more (repeat chorus) x2
17.
(v1) Inside, my system No signs, of miscommunication Perhaps, an overridden code A strange sensation (chorus) Speak how you will Nothing to lose All of your words will be processed through Go where you please Say what you want For I cannot feel a thing, or so I thought Ahhhhh (x a billion) (v2) Scans read, no damage And yet, I'm somehow torn apart Those words, are nothing more than data Nothing more than data (repeat chorus) (bridge) Don't cast me out Don't shut me down I promise I'd be sorry If I could do more than count Wires only understand The coding of its command But somehow can tell That you still love me how I am (repeat chorus)
18.
(chorus) September Blue, Thy sorrows be forgotten October Auburn, Let this season pass November Gray, Restore with thy rain December White, Thy beauty ever last (v1) Light of virtue shown Sign of one's true form To grow only small Giving guidance for all Seen while hardly known (repeat chorus) September Blue, Thy sorrows be forgotten October Auburn, Let this season pass November Gray, Restore with thy rain December White, Thy beauty ever last (v2) Bright inviting morn Brilliant rays reborn So follow along As the shadows have gone Walk where time has torn (repeat chorus) September Blue, Thy sorrows be forgotten October Auburn, Let this season pass November Gray, Restore with thy rain December White, Thy beauty ever last Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh... December White, Thy beauty ever last
