Windblown lyrics - Brendan James

Dreams are like another man's change jingling in my pocket
Lost my own so I borrowed his whatever gets my farthest
Life is like a bullet back
It's picking up speed, picking up speed
Catching glimpses, one eye flashes, wish I could see

Not a book, not a teacher gonna give you this lesson
Money's tight, love is hard, friends don't last forever
Life is like a river you cross, all alone shivering bones
Hoping... hoping

My body's aging fast
My mind ain't coming back
My sweet dream for tomorrow happened years ago
My scars are made of stone, my talents still aren't known, oh
I'm windblown, windblown

Fire burns down a tree, disappears naturally
Half the bark, half the leaves ride the wind away
Some will die, some will stand
Little run down, little go down
Knowing this is the way

My body's aging fast
My mind ain't coming back
My sweet dream for tomorrow happened years ago
My scars are made of stone, my talents still aren't known, oh
I'm windblown

Dreams are like another man's change jingling in my pocket
Lost my own so I borrowed his what ever gets me farthest
Life is like a river you cross, all alone, shivering bones
Hoping, hoping

Simplify lyrics - Brendan James

There's too many visionaries, too many blind illumanaries, too many castaways out beggin' to be saved
There's too many money chasers ganging up on mother nature creature comforting our paradise away

Oh, but who am I to say?
I've just been born today in a cabin to myself out in the redwoods
My word straight to God, or what I think is God
I know another way out if we all could
Stop for a minute, wipe the progress from our eyes
And stare at the setting sun that holds us here alive
Dream like we've never dreamed for less not more this time
You are my ally
If you can so can I
Simplify

There's too many advertisements, advertising, mesmerizing us into that buy it now or never dream
There's too many corporations, too many television stations, too many restaurants not serving what we need

Oh, but who am I to say?
I've just been born today in a cabin to myself out in the redwoods
My word straight to God, or what I think is God
I know another way out if we all could
Stop for a minute, wipe the progress from our eyes
And stare at the setting sun that holds us here alive
And dream like we've never dreamed for less not more this time
You are my ally
If you can so can I
Simplify

Yeah who am I to say?
I've just been born today in a cabin to myself in the redwoods
And my word straight to God, or what I think is God
I know another way out if we all could

Stop for a minute, wipe the progress from our eyes
And stare at the setting sun that hold's us here alive
And dream like we've never dreamed for less not more this time
You are my ally
If you can so can I
Simplify

Ignorant Man lyrics - Brendan James

I'm a country born
City-loving no one
I am only my father's son
You're an ounce of light
In an otherwise night
You are California someone

And you dress the part
And your record's clean
And you tell me to stand behind
My blind man's dream

Say you know the way
Say you won't hold me back
Say you know the way
Cause I'll find it on my own

I'm a sailor caught
In a hurricane's rage
I am set in my crazy ways
And you're a passerby
In the calm of its eye
And you tricked me to stay for days

And I know you're the one
I can see it clear
I look in your eyes
And my whole life appears

Say you know the way
Say you won't hold me back
Say you know the way
Cause I'll find it on my own

I want 80 years
Of metals and tears
Recognition of all my peers
And you had only asked
For the moment to last
So that happiness finds us here

Hillary lyrics - Brendan James

A friend of my wife was a straight-A student working in the same cafe
Her busy young life was uncommonly full of questions
Do you know what I know
Do you know what it feels like
Do you know what it means to be alone

Seeing my wife was a decade older she gave her some good advice
If you want love you should let up on your studies
You gotta know what I know
You gotta know what it feels like
You gotta know what it means to get your own

Hillary, Hillary don't you listen to me
You don't have to please anyone at all
Hillary, Hillary that break that you need
And he ma, ma, ma, ma might, yeah he ma, ma, ma, ma might
He ma, ma, ma, ma might decide to call

Curry won't tell and your mother
Means well, Hillary you need some space
But you already know so you're flying to Colorado
You're gonna find what you find
You're gonna practice your yoga
You're gonna gracefully stretch into your own

Hillary, Hillary don't you listen to me
You don't have to please anyone at all
Hillary, Hillary that break that you need
And he ma, ma, ma, ma might, yeah he ma, ma, ma, ma might
He ma, ma, ma, ma might decide to call

Oh oh oh ohhh ohh

Many will come many will go many gonna break your heart
Someday you'll find the one that stops your crying

You're gonna know what I know
You're gonna know what it feels like
You're gonna know what it means to get your own

Hillary, Hillary don't you stress out at 19
You don't have to please anyone at all
Hillary, Hillary take that jump in the deep
And he ma, ma, ma, ma might, yeah he ma, ma, ma, ma might
He ma, ma, ma, ma might decide to call
And you ma, ma, ma, ma might, yeah you ma, ma, ma, ma might
You ma, ma, ma, ma might surprise them all

Constellations lyrics - Brendan James

Crying inside over man, over country
Disillusioned by the way of it all
Universe grows like a plague, like a flower
No one I know doesn't search for the walls

When I was young I was hope in a bottle
Limited none by the ground or the sky
Water and sun, I would grow and grow
Limited now by the span of my life

What if I was supposed to be
A butterfly on the sleeve
Of an aging, dying human being?
And what if I was supposed to carry
The words she spoke to me
Past the tallest trees, through the galaxy?

I thought my life would have more purpose
I thought my day would come to call
I thought my gifts, like constellations
Were clear to all, to all

Minimum wage for the work of the masses
Stealing their chance with their 8 dollar bills
Falling behind under stress and distraction
Never do find what they're born to fulfill

What if I was supposed to be
An avalanche down the steep
Of an underwater mountain peak?
And what if I was supposed to bury
Treasure no eyes had seen
Since the ship was sunk over lust and greed?

I thought my life would have more purpose
I thought my day would come to call
I thought my gifts, like constellations
Were clear to all, to all

I know when I go I won't ask for the meaning
I'll laugh at it all like a big old bear
I'll laugh at myself for the sleepless nights
The purpose I sought was a younger man's care

The Good In You lyrics - Brendan James

If I look beyond the years
To this glass that scratched clear
To these clouds we both fought through
I see the good in you

If I search the holes of my mind
Find no rooms from the early times
To the traps we fell into
I see the good in you

I remember, I remember, I remember
The way that we spent the time of our young life
And I remember, I remember, I remember
The days that we laughed, the days that we both cried

I can't forget all the heights who carried us too
No matter who's been chasing after the truth
I see the good in you, I see the good in you

If I'd wait for the morning light
Would it help me forgive the night
For the dark it cast on us
Cause I've had enough

I remember, I remember, I remember
The way that we spent the time of our young life
And I remember, I remember, I remember
The days that we laughed, the days that we both cried

I can't forget all the heights who carried us too
No matter who has been chasing after the truth
I see the good in you, the good in you

I could reel the thing fade into nothing
Where does the love run off and hide
It's enough that we won't
It changes the hunger

Letter Of Apology lyrics - Brendan James

The clothes are on the line
The cars are in the drive
The meal is on the table
The children play outside

The streets are calm for now
The town is smoking on
The country, it's a fortress
That's how this world goes round

And so our day-to-day
Is set in stone this way
We rise, we work, we tire
We've only so much strength

So dear mother, there's no other
One to ask forgiveness of you
Sorry for what you've endured
We know that our existence
Has hurt you, it has hurt you

Columbus will discover
What someone had before
A beauty like no other
A reason to wage war

And herein lies our problem
What's mine is mine, not yours
No matter what the consequence
We will always want more

So dear mother, there's no other
One to ask forgiveness of you
Sorry for what you've endured
We know that our existence
Has hurt you, it has hurt you

You must think we are funny
For you are so much older
You must be waiting patiently
To brush us off your shoulder

Tied To You lyrics - Brendan James

I'm the stars and you're a river of tears
Carving lines over your hardest years
I know you're tied to me
I know you're tied to me
Like a dark attaches to a light
Like a silence in the dead of night
I know you're tied to me
I know you're tied to me

A tear on your sweater
A cut on your hand
We feel it together
And we come back again

Hey, I won't be letting you down
No, I know better now
Yeah, I'll never stop pulling you through
I know you're tied to me
And I'm tied to you

I'm the stone you throw into the sand
Crashing down until I understand
I know you're tied to me
I know you're tied to me
Like the earth feels underneath your feet
Like a frost under the fallen leaves
I know you're tied to me
I know you're tied to me

A tear on your sweater
A cut on your hand
We feel it together
And we come back again

Hey, I won't be letting you down
No, I know better now
Yeah, I'll never stop pulling you through
I know you're tied to me
And I'm tied to you

So much behind us
So much ahead
We are old souls
Riding side by side again
Till the end

Hey, I won't let you down
No, I know better now
Hey, I won't be letting you down
No, I know better now

The Skeptic lyrics - Brendan James

Once there was a man
A good and honest man
He came home one day to his loving family
He said you’ll never believe 
We have got to leave
Daddy wants to make a toast
We’re heading out for the west coast

Driving US 1
Counting the stars and sun
Turns to his wife and says 
“How could I of believed em
I got the call today
There’s no job waiting for me”
He was fooled by the man and the thought of wind rushing through the palm trees

Now I see holes in Noah’s Arc
I see dirt in the reservoir
I see struggle in the architecture
I see sorrow in the family picture
But I see you and it’s enough
I’m a skeptic but I see love
I see love, yeah

Once there was a woman
A young and trusting woman
She believed in the institution
The marriage of revolution
She was an old school girl
From the old school world
But the man that she chose 
Had other ideas I suppose
Could have been an easy street
Could have been a dream complete
Instead it was a mournful day
Had to turn her love away
And give it to her boy and girl
Pieces of her broken world
All the things that he took
She got back from her kids with one look

Now I see holes in Noah’s Arc
I see dirt in the reservoir
I see struggle in the architecture
I see sorrow in the family picture
I see you and it’s enough
Yeah, I’m a skeptic but I see love
I see love, yeah

When it all goes wrong
When I’m down and out
When the bad things happen
And I just can’t count
When the hammer falls
And the clock strikes two
When I’m the only one 
I think of you

I’m a young believer
With a cranked receiver
I live without a home
Me and my busted phone
I got no guarantees
I got no proof to see
This life is a game that I play
I could win, I could lose, I could fade away

Now I see holes in Noah’s Arc
I see dirt in the reservoir
I see struggle in the architecture
I see sorrow in the family picture
I see you and it’s enough
Yeah, I’m a skeptic but I see love
I see love
Yeah, I see love
Yeah, I see love
And it’s enough
It’s enough
It’s enough
Ooooh
It’s enough

Where You Started lyrics - Brendan James

Yes I hear New Hampshire in my thoughts tonight
Waking up to dream about another time
Yes I left when I was young I needed to
I think about you, I think about you

Yes I feel the water crashing under me, 
flying off that railroad bridge on 93
How I jumped so high I'll always wonder that
I wanna go back, I wanna go back

Separate yourself from the kind that made you
Walk a thousand miles in your own shoes
Meet another dreamer, and dream about your peace of mind
Treasure what you find, words and shapes and signs
Treasure how you live
And treasure where you started

If you should fall keep your hands out before you
It's good you feel how it feels to fall
The body yearns for that moment on the ground
For that moment with no sound

Now and then I lose my sense of company
Highway men and beggars bent on broken knee
Counting steps I'm less impressed with fame and show
They're nothing I know, they're nothing like home

Separate yourself from the kind that made you
Walk a thousand miles in your own shoes
Meet another dreamer, and dream about your peace of mind
Treasure what you find, words and shapes and signs
Treasure how you live
And treasure where you started.

"Hope In Transition" (2012)




None Of Them Are You lyrics - Brendan James

Black blue yellow white red striped scarred and bruised
Old young weak strong overconfident confused
He can run, she can jump, they can sing higher than you
Make you hurt, make you cry, make you forget the truth
Never gonna get it for yourself
If you keep your eyes on someone else

Nobody started from the place that you started from
And nobody hopes to go
Where you're hoping to go
And nobody out there wants the life you do
'Cause none of them are you
None of them are you

Look around in the crowd wish you could have some fun
Look at them how they win how they beat everyone
Blue skies in your eyes under the brightest sun
Still you hurt, still you cry, still you're the lonely one

Nobody started from the place that you started from
And nobody hopes to go
Where you're hoping to go
And nobody out there wants the life you do
'Cause none of them are you
None of them are you

The day will come, the year will pass
The way you feel it never last
You're treading water now and everybody else is swimming past
You walk a line, a line that no one else could ever find
A billion lines are crossing at a time
Ohhh

Nobody started from the place that you started from
And nobody hopes to go
Where you're hoping to go
And nobody out there wants the life you do
'Cause none of them are you
None of them are you
None of them are you

Younger Days lyrics - Brendan James

Running like hell through the trees
Nobody pressuring me
Younger days

Getting out after school
Playing a bunch of fools
Younger days

I see the sunset, I see the stars
I see the future, oh my god, like a train approaches
It's coming for me

Slipping my Jordans on
Playing some one on one
Younger days

Telling my sister I hate her
Knowing that I'd never trade her
Younger days

I see the sunset, I see the stars
I see the future, oh my god, like a train approaches
It's coming for me

Oh these younger days
I'll take to my grave
For carving me out of a stone
Oh these younger days
I'll never replace
Oh if only I'd known

Hearing my fathers joys
Cracking my mothers voice
Younger days

Filling my pockets with papers
Smoking em deep in the woods
Younger days

I see the sunset, I see the stars
I see the future, oh my god, like a train approaches
It's coming for me

Oh these younger days
I'll take to my grave
For carving me out of a stone
Oh these younger days
I'll never replace
Oh if only I'd known

I see the sunset, I see the stars
I see the future
Ohhh my god

Carriers Of The Light lyrics - Brendan James

Went to a party just the other day with all of you
Fresh off the road and pretty tired
Didn't have to worry cause the ice is always broken
As we catch each others eyes across the fire

Had a couple of drinks and a conversation
About what's going on beneath the surface
Told you how hard it was and I know you really listen
And you make me see it's all worth it
And once again it feels so good to be with friends like you

You are the ones
You are the reason I'm not scared to step into the fight
You are the soul you are the hope
You are the carriers of the light

I'd never write a song this true
Never be me without you

Walked down the hall past the kitchen with the slate blue walls
More going on than meets the eye
Things were transforming
There was smoked and I passed through it
When it cleared I could hear the dance music
The dance music the dance music

You are the ones
You are the reason I'm not scared to step into the fight
You are the soul you are the hope
You are the carriers of the light

I'd never write a song this true
Never be me without you

You are you are you are carrying the light
You are you are you are carrying carrying

You are the ones
You are the reason I'm not scared to step into the fight
You are the soul you are the hope
You are the carriers of the light

Youuu yooouuu
I'd never write a song this true
Never be me without you

NightLife lyrics - Brendan James

It's the nighlife calling
Can you hear it in your mind?
It's the daylight falling
Can you leave it all behind?

It's the nighlife calling
Can you hear it in your mind?
It's the daylight falling
Can you leave it all behind?

Dance if you got no money
Dance if you got no luck
Dance if you got that feeling
Always gonna have enough
Dance if you're someone special
Dance if they wish they knew
Dance if you got a good life
A life you never wanna lose!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It's the nighlife calling
Can you feel it in your soul?
It's the daylight falling
Can you lose all control?

Dance if you got no money
Dance if you got no luck
Dance if you got that feeling
Always gonna have enough
Dance if you're someone special
Dance if they wish they knew
Dance if you got a good life
A life you never wanna lose!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Dance if you drink that whiskey
Dance if you drink that wine
Dance if it makes you happy
Happy just to be alive!

It feels good to be here
Lost in the dark!
It feels good to be here
Lost in the dark!
Lost in the dark!
Lost in the dark!

Heavy Lifting lyrics - Brendan James

I sing for you, your broken hearted
I sing for everything to go back where it started

Oh Oh Ohhhhhhhh

Life is love and both have got you blinded
There's no rest for the few who want it all
And I know you've got it in you
The fire burning inside
Fate, she's really testing you this time

I sing for you, your broken hearted
I sing for everything to go back where it started
You've lost the way, you started drifting
You look ahead and all you see is heavy lifting
I sing for you I sing for you I sing for you I sing for you

One tree falls for the times you never get back
Two suns rise for the days that lie ahead
And you'll never be alone here
There's always somebody else
And they know how it feels to cry for help

I sing for you, your broken hearted
I sing for everything to go back where it started
You've lost the way, you started drifting
You look ahead and all you see is heavy lifting
I sing for you I sing for you I sing for you I sing for you

Oh oh ohhhh
Sing it like you mean it sing it like you mean it
Oh Oh Ohhhhhhh
Oh sing it like you mean it sing it like you mean it
Starring in the mirror talking to myself
Saying everyone's the same as everybody else
Scream, what you gonna do and how you gonna fix this
Time to get over yourself

I sing for you, your broken hearted
I sing for everything to go back where it started
You've lost the way, you started drifting
You look ahead and all you see is heavy lifting
I sing for you

You've lost the way, you started drifting
You look ahead and all you see is heavy lifting
I sing for you I sing for you I sing for you I sing for you
I sing for me

Here For You lyrics - Brendan James

Hey,
What's on your mind?
What's got you down this time?
Please,
Don't hide your tears
I've seen you sad before my dear

I'm here for you
I'm here for you
I'm here for you
Here for you
Here for you
Here for you
Pulling you through, because I want to
I'm here for you.

Sit,
Let's talk it out
Tell me what happened, I'm with you now
Come on,
Can't you look at me?
I'll help you through this
It's not easy

I'm here for you
I'm here for you
I'm here for you
Here for you
Here for you
Here for you
Pulling you through, because I want to

Nothin' But Love lyrics - Brendan James

My biggest fear is I'll let people down and then maybe they'll think less of me
Especially you, you're the jewel in my crown and I don't wanna mess this up
Am I a good enough lover, good enough friend good enough at giving you what you need
Will someone else come along with a much better song and a smile that you wanna trust

You say, "Whatever"
You say, "Who cares?"
You say, "Baby there's no, there there"
You say, "I can"
You say, "I'm gonna, I can do anything I wanna"

Nothin' but love, even when you can't see it
Nothin' but love, even when you can't see it
Nothin' but love, even when you can't see it
She says "Look at me, just look at me"
Nothin' but love, even when you can't see it
Nothin' but love, even when you can't see it
Nothin' but love, even when you can't see it
She says "Look at me, just look at me"

My life was a stop light, didn't know it turned green, you still didn't honk at me
You waved and I waved and we went on our way, and I knew you were just my type
And now we're under the gun in another recession, are we gonna be alright?

You say, "We can"
You say, "We're gonna, we can do anything we wanna"

Nothing but love, even when you can't see it
Nothing but love, even when you can't see it
Nothing but love, even when you can't see it
She says "Look at me, just look at me"
Nothing but love, even when you can't see it
Nothing but love, even when you can't see it
Nothing but love, even when you can't see it
She says "Look at me, just look at me"

I was down, but I will get back up, yes I'm feeling your love
I was down, but I will get back up, yes I'm feeling your love
I was down, but I will get back up, yes I'm feeling your love
I was down, but I will get back up, yes I'm feeling, feeling

Nothin' but love
Nothin' but love
Nothin' but love
Nothin' but love
I was down, but I will get back up, yes I'm feeling your love
Nothin' but love
I was down, but I will get back up, yes I'm feeling your love
Nothin' but love
I was down, but I will get back up, yes I'm feeling your love
Nothin' but love
I was down, but I will get back up, yes I'm feeling your love
I was down, but I will get back up, yes I'm feeling your love

Charleston lyrics - Brendan James

Taking my camera out again for some photographs I won't forget
I go for a walk along east bay
It's so beautiful today
Happiness hanging in the air
And it's only real when shared

Remember the night at the gallery
The back of the roon and she smiled at me
I knew right away I could never be lone,
How could I be lonely

I always wanna feel like I do in Charleston
I tell you thats the way that life should be
I always wanna love like I love in Charleston
Oh how I love you Charleston
Your secret's safe with me

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Counting the cobblestones and bricks
That the fathers built the city with
I might be a Yankee born and raised
But it's here I wanna spend my days
A sandwich a pose and a bunch of friends
The fourth of July, out on Sullivan
I gotta get back to a place so real, it's so real

I always wanna feel like I do in Charleston
I tell you thats the way that life should be
I always wanna love like I love in Charleston
Oh how I love you Charleston
Your secret's safe with me

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Got rid of the old bridge and put in a new bridge
Everyone knows that things must change
We know what we were and we know what we can be
Change is slow this I know

I always wanna feel like I do in Charleston
I tell you thats the way that life should be
I always wanna love like I love in Charleston
Oh how I love you Charleston
Your secret's safe with me

Na na na na na na na na
Your secrets safe with me
Na na na na na na na na
Your secret's safe with me

World On The Streets lyrics - Brendan James

You saw the truth and it made you sad
You saw a life that you know you never had
And your frozen blood started warming up again
Love was lost in the indecision
Pacified by your television
And you hope the chance remains to live with a beating heart again
And heaven knows I'm on your side

The world is on the streets tonight
Calling for a sacrafice
Like all we ever had was nothing
Like all we ever were was right
The world is on the streets tonight

Nevermind what you never had
Never trust what's afraid to trust you back
It's a sordid race we run under one relentless sun
Like a spark in a dying engine
Beaten down for your good intentions
You are the face of what's to come
More than any single one
And heaven knows I'm on your side

The world is on the streets tonight
Calling for a sacrafice
Like all we ever had was nothing
Like all we ever were was right
The world is on the streets tonight
Every love is on the line
Everybody's feeling something
Don't you wanna feel alive?
The world is on the streets tonight

The world is on the streets tonight
Every love is on the line
And Everybody's feeling something
Don't you wanna feel alive?
The world is on the streets tonight
Tonight I feel alive
The world is on the streets,
I don't wanna sleep,
I don't wanna leave your side

"Brendan James" (2010)




Nothing For Granted Lyrics – Brendan James

Leave your worries, leave your fears, leave the doubt you’re holding dear
Leave them there love, by the door, they’re no good anymore
Tell your friends you’ll see them later, tell your family they can wait your
only young once and only dream of the day that love will steal you away
Run with me down these midnight streets, we will take
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
Come with me life is short and sweet, we will take
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
Stop the seasons drifting by, stop believing there’s no time
Stop your heart from closing off, I think you deserve it all
Love your future, love your past, love your body it’s all you have
Love your secrets bottled up, but love them more when you give them up
Run with me down these midnight streets, we will take
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
Come with me life is short and sweet, we will take
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
You gotta get outta your mind, there’s so many wonders to find
There’s so many words they could write across your early grave
So come on and open your eyes, I will be right by your side
And we will see love lies in everything
Run with me down these midnight streets, we will take
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
Come with me life is short and sweet, oh
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted

Take The Fall Lyrics – Brendan James

She is packing in slow motion the sun is coming up
I am sitting in the next room staring in my coffee cup
Now we are driving down the shoreline, this car is cut in two
I am quiet, she is humming, When the Stars Go Blue

And pulling up to JFK, there really isn't much to say

Don't tell me you'll write me, don't tell me you'll call
Just tell me you'll see me in the Fall
Don't give me a promise you know you'll never keep
Go and find it all and I'll see you in the Fall

Now I'm back at our apartment and nothing feels the same
Her coat is gone, her toothbrush is missing,
all the flowers start to fade
And September feels so far away

Don't tell me you'll write me, don't tell me you'll call
Just tell me you'll see me in the Fall
Don't give me a promise you know you'll never keep
Go and find it all and I'll see you in the Fall

Let you fly away from me, fate will bring you back to me
And darling that's all we have

Don't write don't call I'll see you in the Fall
Don't write don't call I'll see you in the Fall

Anything For You Lyrics – Brendan James

I woke up early from my bed
With a secret in my head
In the back of my backyard
I keep a spaceship in the shed

I lit the engine and took the sky
From up here it looks so nice
I didn't stop until the moon, where I
Picked a flower just for you

[Refrain:]
And I fell down to you in a parachute
of newspaper rubber bands, tape, and glue
So you would see I would do anything for you
Anything for you

I didn't want to wake you up,
so I put the flower in a cup
On the floor next to your bed
Without a sound I laid my head

Drifted off into a dream
Of what has been and what could be
I saw your tears, I saw you fall
But I saw us rise, I saw it all

[Refrain]

And I never want you to know
All of the lengths I've gone
To find where the flowers grow

Love is never supposed to be
A present under our tree
I do it because I believe

[Refrain]

The Lucky Ones Lyrics – Brendan James

On the edge of a moment,
In the land that we love,
In the time that our best has to be good enough,
Like all those before us, we start out alone,
We race from our schoolyards, into the unknown
City lights, as far as the eye can see,
You and I, we will live differently
With our hearts in our hands,
Like loaded guns,
We’re taking a chance,
We’re the lucky ones,
This moment is yours,
This moment is mine,
And we’re gonna be fine,
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Searching for love,
Counting steps as we go,
Our parents they taught us there’s no way to know,
I still hear their voices in the back of my head,
Saying, “You’ll do better than we ever did”
City lights, as far as the eye can see,
You and I, we’ll do it differently
With our hearts in our hands,
Like loaded guns,
We’re taking a chance,
We’re the lucky ones,
This moment is yours,
This moment is mine,
And we’re gonna be fine,
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh ohhh (We’re gonna be fine)
Oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
City lights,
Stretching from sea to sea,
You and I,
It was meant to be,
Meant to be
Yeah
With our hearts in our hands,
Like loaded guns,
We’re taking a chance,
We’re the lucky ones,
This moment is yours,
This moment is mine,
And we’re gonna be fine yeah,
We’re gonna be fine yeah yeah oh,
This moment is yours,
This moment is mine ohhh,
And we’re gonna be fine,
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
We’re gonna be fine,
Oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
We’re gonna be fine,
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
We’re gonna be fine,
Oh oh oh ohhh ohhh

Stupid For Your Love Lyrics – Brendan James

I'm smarter than your average Jonathan or Joe
I could fill a hundred suitcases with everything I know
But I am stupid for your love

Aurora borealis makes perfect sense to me,
Its light particles and magnets
I'm smart enough to see
But I am stupid for your love

I still remember 30 numbers after 3.14?
Don't ask me why

And with a Rubix cube I'll make a fool of
Anyone who tries to beat my time
But I am stupid for your love
I am stupid for your love

I love to read the classics
They're not too long for me,
I read 'em in one sitting
Like I did with War and Peace
But I am stupid for your love

And I got a lot of street smarts
From years of looking out,
I've seen the biggest cities
And I know what they're about

But I am stupid for your love

I still remember 30 numbers after 3.14?
Don't ask me why

And with a Rubix cube I'll make a fool of
Anyone who tries to beat my time

But I am stupid for your love
I am stupid for your love [4x]

Different Kind Of Love Lyrics – Brendan James

Driving in a trance through your lost and lonely town
Something in the air that could blow your whole house down
Something like a tragedy
Something that you think you need

Turning on a dime you pull into your local store
Aisles going by and you forget what you're looking for
Maybe it's a pot of gold
Maybe you're too lost to know

Maybe what you need is a different kind of love
One that you have never seen
Maybe all you are is a part of a star on a long journey

Maybe what you need is a better kind of love
One that you could only dream
Maybe it will take all the sorrow away
And let you feel free

Nothing like a storm in your heart to wake you up
Someone by your side and you know their not enough
Maybe you should try and stay
Maybe you should walk away

Maybe what you need is a different kind of love
One that you have never seen
Maybe all you are is a part of a star on a long journey

Maybe what you need is a better kind of love
One that you could only dream
Maybe it will take all the sorrow away
And let you feel free

Maybe you wake up to a brighter sun
Voices in your head screaming now the change has come
With a different kind of love

Maybe what you need is a different kind of love
One that you have never seen
Maybe all you are is a part of a star on a long journey

Maybe what you need is a different kind of love
Maybe all you are is a part of a star on a long journey
Maybe what you need is a better kind of love
Maybe it will take all the sorrow away and let you feel free

Get It Right Lyrics – Brendan James

Deep is the water under my bridge, flowing
And short is the lifetime that I’ve lived, knowing
Messing up and starting over again
Maybe all the breaks and the young mistakes were supposed to carry me here
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
Lord knows I’ve let myself down too many times, many times
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath, and get it right
Looking for answers what have I missed, someone
I want to be so much better than this, in the long run
Stepping forward and falling backwards again
When I get the breaks will the young mistakes be the ones to carry me on
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
Lord knows I’ve let myself down too many times, many times
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath, and get it right
I know I’ll get there, things will get better
Better with every day
And what lies behind me will not define me.
I tell myself nothing can stop me now
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
Lord knows I’ve let myself down too many times, many times
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath, and get it right

Changing Us Lyrics – Brendan James

We’ve come closer than we wanted, we’ve seen what we never should
And we will not be the same. We’ll never be the same, no.
Like steel we are so resilient, but too much and we’re weak as children.
We were not meant to be made witness to these scenes, no.
Gunshots in a broken palace, planes crashing and burn around us
It’s different than it ever was, darker than it’s ever been
Three shouts and thank God I found you
With the crowd and the fog around you I’ll never let you fall, I’ll never let you fall
Oh Heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
But I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
Two kids in a crooked alley, school canceled again
And now they won’t learn a single lesson except how to load a weapon
And right here on this old soil we hope for peace and we pray for joy
But like everybody else we’re still fighting with ourselves
Oh heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
But I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
Oh heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever
Oh heaven can you hear us
Right now we are not sure
But I hope it will get better
These times we’re in together, they’re changing us forever

Emerald Sky Lyrics – Brendan James

So we boarded up the windows and we’ve taken down the lights
From the streets I hear the echoes
Yeah we’re leaving town tonight
We don’t need no medication, we’ve got all our vital signs
All this noise and light pollution, I just wanna see the stars tonight
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
Until we find that emerald sky
Now there’s plastic in the valley
There’s still heartache in the ghetto
I need to talk to someone face to face this place
No it doesn’t feel like home
We don’t need no medication, we’ve got all our vital signs
All this noise and light pollution
I just wanna see the stars tonight
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
I hope we find that emerald....
I’m gonna find that place that we forgot
Where I don’t care about the money you’ve got
Where I don’t need much cuz it don’t take a lot
We’re gonna go…
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
Until we find that emerald sky
We’re gonna walk out of this city, leaving everything behind
We can sleep the days and cover ground at night
I hope we find that emerald sky
Look up look down, oh, from the heaven to the ground…
