Two years ago I turned off all the water just to Let it go Found it plenty easy just to Take it slow Swear off love for awhile And now you're here Shining brighter than the stars in the Atmosphere Fresher than the water from the Stratosphere You make my life better every day So don't let hope grow in my heart if we don't mean to start So don't go and let dreams fall apart Don't let hope grow in my heart if we don't mean to start So don't go and let dreams fall apart Don't let go Don't you go Two weeks ago Leaking all the love that has been Held too slow Didn't think I'd ever feel that Love could show Between two people again And now you're here Shining brighter than the moon in the Atmosphere Purer than the clouds up in the Stratosphere You make my life better every day So don't let hope grow in my heart if we don't mean to start So don't go and let dreams fall apart Don't let hope grow in my heart if we don't mean to start So don't go and let dreams fall apart Don't let go Don't you go Tell me what it's okay to feel inside Tell me what it's okay to feel inside Tell me what it's okay to feel inside Tell me what it's okay to feel inside Tell me what it's okay to feel inside Tell me what it's okay to feel inside Won't you tell me what it's okay to feel inside Tell me what it's okay to feel inside Won't you tell me what it's okay to feel inside Won't you tell me what it's okay to feel inside Tell me what it's okay to feel inside Won't tell me what it's okay to feel inside So don't let hope grow in my heart if we don't mean to start So don't go and let dreams fall apart Don't let hope grow in my heart if we don't mean to start So don't go and let dreams fall apart Don't let hope grow in my heart if we don't mean to start So don't go and let dreams fall apart Don't let hope grow in my heart if we don't mean to start So don't go and let dreams fall apart Don't let hope grow in my heart if we don't mean to start So don't go and let dreams fall apart Don't let hope grow in my heart if we don't mean to start So don't go and let dreams fall apart

Sha la la la la Sha la la la la Sha la la la la Sha la la la la Holding down deep inside explodes to begin the warmth I feel inside the eyes I want to win Catapult myself where you happen to live Oh what I didn't know is what I wouldn't give I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you I smile when you smile and I laugh when you laugh The numbers don't add up, but I was never great at math The sum of you and me is greater than apart I'll give you all that's left, but you know you have my heart I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to Know I wanna Don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you Yeah I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you (know I want to do it with you) I don't know what I want to do But I know I want to do it with you (know I want to do it with you)

Saving Grace 03:29
We grew up yesterday You see it in my face Weary from all the life I've lived Saving grace Coming back into my life To lift me up Lift me up again Silence for years Excited at best Holding on to memories of you when we were fine Saving grace Coming back into my life To lift me up Lift me up again Saving grace Coming back into my life To lift me up Lift me up again Saving grace Come on back into my life And lift me up Lift me up again Saving grace Come on back into my life Lift me up Lift me up Lift me up Lift me up Lift me up Lift me up again

Your golden hair made my day Her golden hair took me away I made a mistake by taking her out And like a fool I sought her doubt I drank some dirty water You went and kissed a foster Take picture all that miss her They last longer, be it stronger Take after alabaster Stay right there I'll meet here after I saw you with him yesterday I saw you kiss him in that way I made a mistake by taking her out And like a fool I sought her doubt I drank some dirty water You went and kissed that foster Take picture all that miss her They last longer, be it stronger Take after alabaster Stay right there I'll meet here after Take picture all that miss her They last longer, be it stronger Take after alabaster Stay right there I'll meet here after Who has the love that's deep inside? Who has the will to change a mind? Take picture all that miss her They last longer, be it stronger Take after alabaster Stay right there I'll meet here after Take picture all that miss her They last longer, be it stronger Take after alabaster Stay right there I'll meet here after I'll meet here after I'll meet here after Take picture all that miss her They last longer, be it stronger Take after alabaster Stay right there I'll meet here after

Dime 02:50
Tune me up, let me down Expecting none but holy crown Egg me on, crack my shell You make my life a personal hell I find that regal confrontation Leads me to messy deviations If we could just pull back the time Forget what happened We'd find out more than just that I Lack the satisfaction To be content with no resent But please leave me more than just a dime To leave this life all behind Lay it down, spread it out Talk until you shout Won't you please shut your mouth right now You'll run yourself right out of town I find that formal conversation Does no more good than education If we could just pull back the time Forget what happened We'd find out more than just that I Lack the satisfaction To be content with no resent But please leave me more than just a dime To leave this life all behind If we could just pull back the time Forget what happened We'd find out more than just that I Lack the satisfaction To be content with no resent But please leave me more than just a dime To leave this life all behind Leave it all behind

I Guess 03:44
Started to live without you Started breathing easier more or less I ripped up those letters Felt a little better I guess I can hear your name being called through my dreams Try to find me please, 'cause I don't feel the same 'Cause I understand that the world keeps turning And life moves on and my heart keeps burning 'Cause I don't want to be around you Yes I don't want to live without you I can hear your name being called through my dreams Try to find me please, 'cause I don't feel the same 'Cause I understand that the world keeps turning And life moves on and my heart keeps burning 'Cause I understand that the world keeps turning And life moves on and my heart keeps burning 'Cause I don't want to be around you Yes I don't want to live without you I don't want to be around you Yes I don't want to live without you I ripped up those letters Felt a little better I guess

Thinking back on Apri I May have fell back to June 'Cause the only thing I hold on to is the memory of you Driving in early morning Rushed right out of bed To see the way the sun hits your eyes as all our dreams fill up our heads Rice and beans in the morning Pancakes in afternoon Leaving time for coffee So we can stay awake till two Thinking back on April I May have fell back to June 'Cause the only thing I hold on to is the memory of you City streets can smell so sweet as country smells so poor But everlasting country feeds my heart and fills my core Rice and beans in the morning Pancakes in afternoon Leaving time for coffee So we can stay awake till two I should have kissed you but my mind got in the way I should have missed you before you left that day I should have kissed you but my mind got in the way I should have missed you before you left that day Rice and beans in the morning Pancakes in afternoon Leaving time for coffee So we can stay awake till two Rice and beans in the morning Pancakes in afternoon Leaving time for coffee So we can stay awake till two Rice and beans in the morning Pancakes in afternoon Leaving time for coffee So we can stay awake till two Thinking back on April I May have fell back to June 'Cause the only thing I hold on to is the memory of you

about

"Local Summer" is about the transition period when summer goes from a present time to a nostalgic memory- trying to hold onto the joy and freedom of summer for as long as you possibly can, while still understanding that Fall is on the way. It is about having no regrets of the past, but knowing that a new season is needed to grow.
