Bound by Love
I was born in the 70’s
I caught the end of the dreamer’s days
I’ve got all of these memories
But it feels like yesterday
I see it in photographs
A slideshow on the walls of my brain
I am grateful for the life I’ve have
Whatever time still remains
I was a kid in the 80’s
I wore a red thriller jacket to school
I had a silver boombox
Corduroy pants and cassettes were cool
Licensed to Ill blew my mind
My dad let me listen to it in his truck
I bought the Joshua Tree and Mother’s Milk
With birthday money that my grandma sent
I am bound by love
Don’t want it any other way
Baby, I can’t get enough
I don’t know any different
I was a punk teen in the 90’s
In a band called Adam’s Eve
Ripped jeans and a ring in my nose
I smoked hash and drank mushroom tea
We used to play the Apothecary
Charlottetown on a Monday night
With permission from the liquor commission
Tuesday morning barely cracked my eyes
I am bound by love
Don’t want it any other way
Baby, I can’t get enough
I don’t know any different
I finished school and I moved away
I was in a different band
We took our name from a Shakespeare play
It feel apart in the end
I stuck around for a few more years
Dragging myself from job to job
Ran out of money and I had to leave
Hit the coast and I met a girl
Now I’m bound by love
Wouldn’t want it any other way
Baby, I can’t get enough
I don’t know any different
I don’t know any different x 4
I have dreams in a different light
I’m not looking for the cheaper thrills
I see the future through my daughter’s eyes
And it gives me chills
And I’ll do anything for love
But not like that stupid Meatloaf song
Real love that keeps on humming
And never stops even after you’re gone
I am bound by love
Don’t want it any other way
Baby, I can’t get enough
I don’t know any different
I know happiness is fleeting
I know we all have Haunted Hearts
But I see it and I hear it
Graceland in my mother’s car
Driving around, tapping her thumbs
Keeping the beat on the steering wheel
I know who I am and I know it’s because
Things like this don’t disappear

Thoughts and Buzz
02:21

Five Leaves Left on the record player
Blurred on the windowpane
Rose gold skies at the end of the day
Melting on the evergreens
And it carries me away
Before it breaks my heart
The world goes on anyway
And love is all I want
Bluebird floating in the back of my mind
As it always does
Revolving like a wheel of time
In a thrum of thoughts and buzz
And it carries me away
Before it breaks my heart / tears me apart
The world goes on anyway
And love is all I want

Tomorrow Is Red

I got this feeling I can’t shake
It drips (down) into my heart
Tomorrow is red
And today won’t start
Yesterday
Sailed away
Smiling like a sunset and said…
I wouldn’t lie to you….again
In a thousand years
When it’s only love
They’ll be no more tears
For everyone
And I know I said
Tomorrow is red
And I smiled like a sunset
I wouldn’t lie to you…again
And baby don’t forget
Tomorrow is red
And falling like a sunset
I couldn’t lie
Yeah, you can tell
That I’m a sky
That never fell
A dirty look
I couldn’t sell
Ringing like
A broken bell
You know, I wouldn’t lie to you…again

In My Hair

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL, TIL THEY DON’T
LEAVE YOUR BAD VIBES AT THE DOOR
DON’T WASTE TIME, CHANGE YOUR MIND
I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE WAITING FOR
LOOK LEFT, LOOK RIGHT
I LOOK UP INTO A DARK BLUE NIGHT
SHOOTING OFF STARS, REFLECTING OFF THE CARS
LIKE YOU SEND ME TO THE MOON AND BACK
I SET MY MIND TO DREAM ABOUT THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE
I’M ALRIGHT (WHEN)
ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR
CUZ I GOT YOU
YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO WITHOUT YOU IN MY HAIR
OH MY, MY, I NEED YOU
OH I NEED YOU
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL, TIL THEY DON’T
LET YOUR THOUGHTS SWIRL DOWN THE DRAIN
TURN YOUR HEART (IN)TO ART
AND HANG IT OUT TO DRY IN VAIN
I LOOK OUT, I LOOK IN
I WON’T FORGET WHERE I’VE BEEN
WHO I AM, OR I THINK I AM, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
I SET MY MIND ON SCHEMING TO THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE
I’M ALRIGHT (WHEN)
ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR
CUZ I GOT YOU
YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO WITHOUT YOU IN MY HAIR
OH MY, MY, I NEED YOU
OH I NEED YOU
WE ALL FALL APART
WE’RE ALMOST ALWAYS FALLING DOWN
BUT I JUST FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
I’M ALRIGHT (WHEN)
ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR
CUZ I GOT YOU
YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO WITHOUT YOU IN MY HAIR
OH MY, MY, I NEED YOU
OH I NEED YOU

The Magnolias Don't Know
02:48
|

THE MAGNOLIAS DON’T KNOW
AND THE LIGHT STILL FLOODS THE BEDROOM FLOOR
AND THERE IS A STRANGE CALM
LIKE A BLUE DISSOLVING IN THE BACK OF MY SKULL
AND SOMETIMES IT WHIRS
BUT EVEN WHEN IT DOES, I’M SURE
THAT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO
BUT I DON’T WANNA BE ANYWHERE BUT HERE WITH YOU
AND BABY, WHEN IT’S OVER AND IT FEELS LIKE
LIKE ALL THE STARS WERE BOMBED OUT OF THE SKY TONIGHT
IT’S ‘CAUSE THEY WERE
SO, WE’RE ALL SPACED OUT WITH OUR HEADS SPINNING AROUND
LAYING LOW
BUT IT CAN’T LAST FOREVER AND THAT GETS ME THROUGH
AND TAKES ME WHERE I NEED TO GO
AND SOMETIMES IT BLURS
BUT EVEN WHEN IT DOES, I’M SURE
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO
BUT I DON’T WANNA BE ANYWHERE BUT HERE WITH YOU
AND BABY, WHEN IT’S OVER AND IT FEELS LIKE
ALL THE STARS WERE BOMBED OUT OF THE SKY TONIGHT
IT’S ‘CAUSE THEY WERE

DAISY THE DRAGON CAME ALL THE WAY FROM ENGLAND
SHE COULDN’T TAKE A WAGON SO SHE HAD TO FLY
DAISY’S KINDA LAZY ON FIRE BREATHING
SHE LIVES WITH US IN PEI
DAISY’S KINDA SILLY AND KINDA GREEN
PRETTIEST DRAGON I’VE EVER SEEN
DAISY’S ALWAYS SWEET AND NEVER MEAN
DAISY THE DRAGON
