The Shapes That Shift Us (lyrics)
I recently had a request from Russia for the lyrics from The Shapes That Shift Us album. Here they are!
Caroline To Maine
The rain mixes with the water makes the waves
Moves up and down the coast
From Caroline to Maine
The sun sad eyes retreat behind the haze
The clouds roll in saying hey get outta my way
From Caroline to Maine (x2)
Bring the clothes in and shut the shades
A gust of wind and the water wanna get in
Curl up with a book and some tea
Listen to the sounds and dream gently
From Caroline to Maine (x2)
It soothes me, excites me, takes me to another place
The oceans movement set the pace
From Caroline to Maine (x2)
Swim with the Sun
Meet me at the beach at a quarter to four
And we’ll swim until the sun is no more
It’ll wake me
Hope it wakes you
Up to the rhythm of your own life
If you’re lucky it’ll spice you up just right
Make you happy
Are you happy?
The water will clutch you in like a best friend
Hold you still when all you wanna do is run
Grasp the day like you know it’s your last one
Grasp the day, hey, hey, hey
Meet me at the bar at a quarter to ten
And we’ll dance until the music ends
Are you moving
Keep on moving
To the sounds that are spinning all around
They’ll pick you up when you’re down
The water will clutch you in like a best friend
Hold you still when all you wanna do is run
Grasp the day like you know it’s your last one
Grasp the day, hey, hey, hey
Dance til Dawn
Records lined up on the stereo
Sounds coming out the loudspeakers, oh
Ready to make your move
Dance 'til Dawn and I'm fiighting to keep the groove
Pressures off, keep moving on
Spin me around
Let's Dance 'til Dawn
Nothing can hold us back, nothing can hold us down
Drinks lined up on the counter
Better get one fast before we run outta liquor
Night is running out the door
Keep on moving before the dark is no more
Pressures off, keep moving on
Spin me around
Let's Dance 'til Dawn
Nothing can hold us back, nothing can hold us down
Spin me around
Let's Dance 'til Dawn
Nothing can hold us back, nothing can hold us down
Do do do do do........
Lullabies
Pick me up I've been waiting all my life
For something to carry me away
Off to a distance shore
A place I've never been before
Something to carry me away
Your lullabies will call me out
Out into the dreamy night
Your lullabies will call me out
Oh, forever hold me tight
Take me out I've been waiting a long, long time
For something to fly me away
Out past the stars not to near and oh so far
Something to fly me away
Your lullabies will call me out
Out into the dreamy night
Your lullabies will call me out
Oh, forever hold me tight
Push and pull anything to excite
Ignite the motion in me
Secret potion the doors now open
Out ovelooking the sea
Your lullabies will call me out
Out into the dreamy night
Your lullabies will call me out
Oh, forever hold me tight
One Word Rescue
Too many hearts slowing down
Losing momentum too many false starts
I'll fast foward to the new parts I won't cower away
I'll look forward to the new starts
I won't walk away
One word rescue I fall into my silhouette
Break the silence what you say is what you get
It's what you get, it's what you get
Too many broken hearts giving up
Gain your momentum
But don't you push, don't you push too hard
I'll fast foward to the new parts I won't cower away
I'll look forward to the new starts
I won't walk away
One word rescue I fall into my silhouette
What you say is what you get
Its what you get, its what you get
What you say is what you get
So Far
When the feeling comes again
And the southern winds now end
When the back and forth begin
Hard luck you can never win
It can only go so far
It can only last so long
One lifetime then its gone
It can only go so far
Ooooooo
Go so far
Now take a step back
No need to overreact
Not much is really understood
You did the best you coud
Is it enough to know you're now alone
Is it enough to know
Is it enough to know you're not alone
I don't think so
When the feeling goes again
And the good times never end
Everything falls into place
Doing my best to make it last
It can only go so far
It can only last so long
One lifetime then its gone
It can only go so far
Ooooooo
Go so far
Open Sea
Lay your heart out on the sea
Stare up at the clouds floating
Sea salt lips taste the ocean
Gulls dive blinded by the sun
Drifting further to nowhere
Happily everafter (x2)
Rollin along with the waves
Gravitating slowly to you
Waiting for the moment to come true
Sea salt lips taste the ocean
Gulls dive blinded by the sun
Drifting further to nowhere
Happily everafter (x2)
Sea salt lips taste the ocean
Gulls dive blinded by the sun
Drifting further to nowhere
Happily ever after (x4)
Boardroom Hearts
Sitting on the edge of a factory
I can't get in but I can still see
Boardroom hearts bankrupt charts
Chronic coughs invisible walls
I'm burnt out broke down brainwashed
Craving water
I'm locked up Lois Lane's lovers not coming
I'll save myself again
Your heads spinning and your not even listening to the sounds
We don't have time for each other any more
Cause we're busy saving ourselves
Sitting on the seal of a window
Waiting for the birds to tell me where to go
In or out the door push and pull goes on some more
I'm burnt out broke down busted craving water
A lady is a man that's 10,000 years wiser
A lake is a shore that's 10.000 years younger
I'll save myself from going under
Your heads spinning and your not even listening to the sounds
We don't have time for each other any more Cause we're busy saving ourselves
Searching For the Sun
I wasn't expecting the fall
In one afternoon it's gone
And now I'm standing on the foreign ground
Listening to the foreign sounds
I thought I knew how it worked
Thought it was all so clear
And now I'm caught in reverse
Trying to shake off this curse
And I'll pick myself up
At least for today
And I'll go on Searching for the Sun
And I know I'm not alone
Million more at home
Lying awake Searching for the Sun
Now everything is out in the open
And I don't recognize your face
Shadow in the dark
A stranger in the crowd
And I don't even know your name
And I don't even recognize your face
Didn't want it to turn out this way
But you left me with no choice
You can't have it all for yourself
And leave me with no voice
And I'll pick myself up
At least for today
And I'll go on Searching for the Sun
And I know I'm not alone
Million more at home
Lost In Love
I witness sensations when I'm outside in June
Walking down the avenue
Looking at what's new
I witness something special when you're up on the stage with your guitar in hand
While I'm drinking
Feel the spark I hear your heart singing
Makes me smile for a little while
I'm lost in love (x3)
I I'm dreaming when I'm driving in the car alone
Going places unknown
I feel so calm when you're by my side
It's a natural high
Feel the spark I hear your heart singing
It makes me smile for a little while
I'm lost in love (x3)
Opposite Sides
Polarized distant eyes
Nothing can get through from me to you
Found a place in your mind
Take you towards the dim sunlight
And our paths no longer cross
We've both turned away
Maybe we'll meet again someday
I'll hold the thought close to me
Polarized you run and hide
This is where the chemicals collide
In mid air, a show down of stares
First to blink will be the one most scared
When the darkness just won't leave you alone
And the doubts they hit so close to home
Turn your back on all of those unruly attacks
When the darkness just won't leave you alone
And our paths no longer cross
We've both turned away
Maybe we'll meet again someday
I'll hold the thought close to me (x3)
Into the Moon
Move into the arms of the moon (x2)
Where the light is dampend by the night
Where the doubts are now longer in sight
Move into the arms of the moon (x2)
Oh escape from the dawn
Oh escape from all that goes on and on and on
Move into the arms of the moon (x2)
Where the light is dampend by the night
Where the doubts are now longer in sight
Sun Behind Me
Fire engine red and the sounds of the sirens
Dancing through another day
People causing drama messing around
Boredom comes out in unusal ways
The wind kisses my forehead
Reminds me I'll be okay
And the sun stands behind me
Pushing me through another day
The nightime is coming it's when I feel most alive
The shadows of the day are now starting to die
I'm leaving those imposters yeah so far behind
Concentrating on the real people
The ones who don't tell lies
Under false disguises
They don't tell lies under false impressions
Candy apple red on the edge of a beach
Swimming through another day
People just relaxing yeah hangin around
Going through life in a different way
And the wind kisses my forehead
Reminds me I'll be okay
And the sun stands behind me
Pushing me through another day
The nightime is coming it's when I feel most alive
The shadows of the day are now starting to die
I'm leaving those imposters yeah so far behind
Concentrating on the real people
The ones who don't tell lies
Under false disguises
They don't tell lies under false impressions
Drift Gently
Let the daylight hold you when I’m gone
Let it hold you still
Let it drive away all your fears
Let it hold me near
Let it keep you calm from night til dawn
Let it hold you still
And I hope you find some peace of mind at least part of the time (X2)
Like driving down the coast the western winds blow
Bring you back through the past and back home
Let the sweet chimes rock and ring you to sleep
May you fade gently
Wander over the green grass float over the salty sea
May you drift gently
And I hope you find some peace of mind at least some of the time
And I hope you find some peace of mind at least part of the time
Like driving down the coast the western winds blow
Bring you through the past and back home

2014 was a banner year for me. 3 syncs on MTV and one of my songs was used in an indie flick called The Young Kieslowski
Having all this happen in one year has really inspired me to play out more often and to continue writing new songs. I'm hoping to have some new music out in 2015. Please check back here for more updates.
Thanks for the support!
