Golden Age

We whistled on our way
livin in the golden age
(it) was a carefree kind of melody
And the skies were always blue
lovin was the thing to do
was a special kind of energy
Can remember when I try
feelin that way inside
nostalgia’s been my remedy
Woah (oh oh oh)
Bring me back to the golden age
before my future
starts to fade away
Pictures on a wall inside a frame
those perfect places
live in a golden age
Saw my neighbor down the street
made a plan for us to meet
for some ice cream at the Dairy Queen
The wind flowin through my hair
riding bikes in pairs
until the sunset told us where to go
Woah (oh oh oh)
Bring me back to the golden age
before my future
starts to fade away
Pictures on a wall inside a frame
those perfect places
live in a golden age
That’s how the story goes
That’s how the story goes
No matter who you ask

Where’d the feeling go
Why am I hiding from it
Did it leave my heart
all worn out and stranded
Screens distracting me
from my deepest fear of
isolated future
maybe I shouldn’t worry
So much getting in the way of love today
holding back the words I meant to say
everyone I know kinda feels the same
I need a change
I just wanna be in the moment
see it all in front of me
It won’t ever be like it used to
that’s ok with me
I wanna get back to a feeling
of reason and sincerity
I just wanna be in the moment (oooh oooh)
Where’d the feeling go
is it lost in comments
There’s so much to prove
digital hearts being broken
Stuck inside our homes
even before the virus
Waiting for a time
when a vaccine will save us
So much getting in the way of love today
holding back the words I meant to say
everyone I know kinda feels the same
I need a change
I just wanna be in the moment
see it all in front of me
It won’t ever be like it used to
that’s ok with me
I wanna get back to a feeling
of reason and sincerity
I just wanna be in the moment (oooh oooh)

Better Version

Slowly I begin to realize
I was dreaming the same dream for years
And sleeping never seemed to satisfy
the yearning of my restless heart
I think it’s time to move things forward
Switch it up and change the order
Can’t wait it out til things blow over
I made up my mind
Can’t stop thinkin bout
the way I really wanted it
Won’t stop movin now
I’m searching til I find it
I’m gonna find a way
before I lose my mind
a better version of me
Take a look around you
Is it really what you wanna do?
Always gonna have a hill to climb
Will always have a race to run
I think it’s time to move things forward
Switch it up and change the order
Can’t wait it out til things blow over
I made up my mind
Can’t stop thinkin bout
the way I really wanted it
Won’t stop movin now
I’m searching til I find it
I’m gonna find a way
before I lose my mind
a better version of me
Take a look around you
Is it really what you wanna do?

Who I Am

A blank stare, a lonely heart
those hazy eyes keep foolin me
Don’t recognize you anymore
it’s beginning to make sense to me
Cause all the night you stumbled in
all your ways I would defend
All the signs I denied
that our love was near the end
Tell me why
Won’t you let me go
Who I am
Do you really know?
I’m wide awake staring at the phone
can’t get through to you
I keep on calling out to you
but you put my heart on hold
You and I are meant to be
strangers in the night
How can we pretend to be
lovers in this fight?
Tell me why
Won’t you let me go
Who I am
Do you really know?
I am free from it all
all the grief and battles fought
I can see I was lost
tried to be who I’m not
I am me
So tell me why
Won’t you let me go
Who I am
You don’t really know
Tell me why
Won’t you let me go
Who I am
You don’t really know
