Blue 03:18
The sun is shining And I’m just smiling I got my toes in the sand With a pina colada in my hand The sky is blue over me There’s water as far as the eye can see Blue, over you Blue, what can I do I’ve been doing a lot of thinkin’ And I’ve been doing a lot of drinkin’ I got my head in my hand And I’m still trying to understand Why I’m blue over you Is there anything that I can do? Chorus And here I am on this island I’ve got it all to myself And I’m just enjoying the silence And I don’t need nobody else So you’ll never know You’ll never know You’ll never know That I’m blue over you Is there anything that I can do Chorus

I wanna take you home tonight To meet my mother, cause you’re just her type In the evening, she'll stand by the door to greet you I'll tell her you're mine But that's all a dream And I'm such a fool To be waiting, and waiting For a girl like you I need an old fashioned love I need an old fashioned love Yes I do Someone to have Someone to hold Could it be you I wanna walk down the aisle with you Pick out some cereal, maybe some fruit In the morning we'll wake up so slow and easy Til’ the afternoon Cause you're all I’d see In this world for two No more searching, and searching For something new Chorus But I give my best away Why do I give my best away I pray that one of these nights I'll find you And you'll turn to me and say I need an old I need an old Chorus

Before you get too old Who have you loved? Truly, completely? With no condition? Before you get too old Begin to let go The past that surrounds you Holds your heart still Before you get too old Who have you loved? Before you get too old Go find that heart of gold Before you get weary Step into the light Before you get too old Who have you loved?

Hit the Road 02:55
Will the rest of my life be in this office? Watching the sailboats float outside? Is this true success? How bitter Years of ambition, all blind And I whisper, what else is out there? But it's a crazy dream and I wouldn’t dare to Hop in my car and drive real fast Toss in a map and step on the gas Hit the road Just go Leave it behind to start brand new Roll down the windows, let it through Kiss the wind Let go I wanna write my first love song in Nashville Catch the surf out in San Diego Form that band, move up to Portland Go on tour, drive out to Brooklyn And I know, there's so much out there But it’s a crazy dream, and I’m too scared to Chorus And I don't know what I'm searching for But when I find it I'll be sure To chase the wind And never let her go, so I’ll Chorus

Dienna 03:17
Did you forget the summer after college We had a thing or a whatchamacallit There we were the start of our new lives And I could see the future in your eyes On top of the world, in New York City I was so nervous, and you were so pretty You jumped the gun and wanted so much more I told you I'd never kissed a girl before Little did I know That I'd fall for your hoax And you'd take my hands And just let me go Dienna, Dienna What you've been up to? Dienna, Dienna I'm still thinking of you I heard you got into HBS You're leaning in in that black dress Working the room, shaking hands Looking for the perfect man You've got a warm gun now ya shoot to kill As for me I'm still tryna deal Summers come and go And I’m still alone So I wrote you this song To just let you know Chorus And I heard you’ve got a boyfriend now Can he finally fill all your doubts Or will you just toss him away like me Leave him alone to dream? Chorus Dienna

On that road, we were so much younger The horizon stretched out front I told you I would change the world Burn brightly as the sun Talking big, about the future All the great things I would do I believed I was something special And you believed it too Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Surfing through the next four years The real world came to view I reached for all my grandest dreams But somehow I lost you Chorus Now I’m back at the beach Where you taught me to dream A thousand promises I couldn't keep But as the sun drifts into the sea I hear you calling out for me Chorus
8.
Into the Sea 04:10
Like a prodigal son with no father I’m sailing a ship with no rudder Chasing down the wind Traveling to the ends of belief I'll follow you into the sea Calm the waves on which we meet I'll follow you, I'll follow you Into the sea Who's heard the prayers of my mother? Heavy, released like an anchor Her begotten son Can she save him from the burning sun? Chorus I'm drowning, I'm drowning In my own world I'm sinking, I'm sinking In my footsteps Is this the beginning Of understanding? If I could see you From where I'm standing Chorus Chorus
