Don't We All
04:51

You don't need to reinvent the wheel
You don't need a Michelin star for every meal
And you don't need to stay afraid of anything you feel
Breathe deep, back straight and keep an even keel
'Cause we all live in scary, reactionary times
Where mapped out muscle memories
Call the shots, and trace familiar lines
So hold the kneejerk still, see if something else will
Show itself to save the day
If we can just be kinder and step out of our own ways
Negativity seems to follow me
My monkey brain just needs a helping hand
To feel secure and satisfied, and connected sometimes
Don't we all, my friends?
Don't we all, my friends? I hope you understand
You don't need to reinvent the wheel
You don't need a Michelin star for every meal
And you don't need to stay afraid of anything you feel
Breathe deep, back straight and keep an even keel
Negativity seems to follow me
My monkey brain just needs a helping hand
To feel secure and satisfied, and connected sometimes
Don't we all, my friends?
Don't we all, my friends? I hope you understand

Sometimes I feel so tired, all I'm doing is killing time
And waiting til the time my head hits the pillow
The work day drags on slow and long
Dream of staying home alone, get up late
And sing my songs to the mirror
'Cause it ain't no kind of life to never feel inspired
Feeling wired at 9, pacified at 5
Never really feeling quite alive
Never really feeling... Never really feeling quite alive
So I propose a toast to the things we love the most
So here's to my own family, who raised and still look out for me
We didn't choose each other but I'm still happy
And here's to all those friends I love
We don't see each other quite enough
But when we do, it hasn't changed all that much
'Cause it ain't no kind of life to never feel inspired
Feeling wired at 9, pacified at 5, oh at 5
Never really feeling quite alive
Never really feeling... Never really feeling quite alive
So I propose a toast to the things we love the most
So here's to music, my old friend
The one whose love will never end
The one thing I will never, ever get sick of
And here's to food and coffee,
Battered books and gangster movies
Football, zen and good good company
'Cause it ain't no kind of life to never feel inspired
Feeling wired at 9, pacified at 5,
Never really feeling quite alive
Never really feeling... Never really feeling quite alive
So I propose a toast to the things we love the most

Tribe
03:16

So I fall back on my tribe when I'm feeling half alive
And I've struggled and I've strived to no avail
And though sometimes, I may protest
I feel less stressed, and oh so blessed
When I am sharing with the ones I love the best
When I am sharing with the ones I love the best
I've got to coax myself out of my shell
Change 'I' to 'we', you change that 'ill' to 'well'
Like a lonely hermit living underneath a rock
Or a sheep who's wandered too far from her flock
So if you're stuck, and feel you're running out of luck
Just reach out to the ones who give a fuck
If you're stuck, and feel you're running out of luck
Just reach out to the ones who give a fuck
I've got to coax myself out of my shell
Change 'I' to 'we', you change that 'ill' to 'well'
Like a lonely hermit living underneath a rock
Or a sheep who's wandered too far from her flock
So if you're stuck, and feel you're running out of luck
Just reach out to the ones who give a fuck
If you're stuck, and feel you're running out of luck
Just reach out to the ones who give a fuck
So I fall back on my tribe when I'm feeling half alive
And I've struggled and I've strived to no avail
And though sometimes, I may protest
I feel less stressed, and oh so blessed
When I am sharing with the ones I love the best

Lay Your Longing
04:19
|

Lay your longing on the line
Shed your skin upon the wayside
It's a tough old road
Even without that heavy load you're carrying
(Lay it down, lay it down)
Allow yourself a skip in the step,
A song in the heart, a deeper breath
Allow it all just for a little while
Lay your trust upon the wind
Let the cards fall where they may, and greet the day 'til
Tomorrow unfolds, a brand new hand to play
Allow yourself a skip in the step,
A song in the heart, a deeper breath
Allow it all just for a little while
