1. Better than Breathing  

I can tell you why
it is important
that we have the ocean
it’s the only place
where holding your breath
is better than breathing.

2. Simple Things

So shake the cold from your toes
And let the east coast walk you home
So shake the cold from your heart
If at all, and let it fall
Cause it takes a lot to make a heart a home to love
And it takes a lot to love your own
But I, didn't even get your name when you walked on by
But I held your eyes so you held mine
Hoping you would stop so I could ask you these simple things
Like - do you love the ocean? and could you love the ocean with me?
 
Cause I'll be yours, cause I'll be yours
Cause I'll be yours, my love, my love
Cause I'll be yours, cause I'll be yours
 
These are the simple things, and I want you, love love
Cause these are the simple things, my love, my love
 
So shake the cold from your toes, and let the east coast walk you home
So shake the cold from your heart
If at all, and let it fall
Cause it takes a lot to make a heart a home to love and it takes a lot to love your own
But I, I didn't even get your name when you walked on by, yeah
But I held your eyes so you held mine
Hoping you would stop so I could ask you these, simple things
Like - do you love the ocean? And well, could you love the ocean with me?
 
Cause I'll be yours love, cause I'll be yours
Cause I'll be yours, my love, my love
Cause I'll be yours, cause I'll be yours
Cause I'll be yours, hey!
I'll be yours
Cause I'll be yours, I’ll be yours
I'll be yours
 
These are the simple things
But I want you, love, love
Because these are the simple things
My love, my love

 

3. Sleep Well

Watching the way that you lose your threads
Open eyes
Watching your eyes fall, your hands fall
Watching the way that you lose your threads
Losing my mind
Cause you, you are the
Best of reasons to be nervous now
 
Between these threads, you're the best of reasons
Not to sleep well, sleep well
Between these threads, you're the best of reasons
Not to sleep well, sleep well
Sleep well, sleep well my love
Now sleep well, sleep well my dear
Sleep well to sleep well
 
Watching the way that you lose your threads
Open eyes
Watching your eyes fall, your hands falling
Watching the way that you lose your threads
Losing my mind
Cause you, you are the
Best of reasons to be nervous now
Cause you, you are the
Best of reasons to be nervous now
 
Between these threads, you're the best of reasons
Not to sleep well, sleep well
Between these threads
Not to sleep well, sleep well
Sleep well, sleep well my love
Now sleep well, sleep well my dear
C'mon sleep well to
Sleep well
 
We see the most in the dark, when your eyes are shut
And your hands don't stop love
We see the most in the dark, when your eyes are shut
And your hands don't stop love
We see the most in the dark, when your eyes are shut
And your hands don't stop love
We see the most in the dark, when my eyes are shut
And our hands don't stop love
 
Between these threads
You're the best of reasons
Not to sleep well, sleep well
Between these threads
You're the best of reasons
Not to sleep well, sleep well
 
Sleep well, sleep well my love
Now sleep well, sleep well my dear
C’mon sleep well, sleep well my love
Now sleep well to sleep well
C'mon dear sleep well, sleep well my love
Now sleep well
Sleep well my dear
C'mon sleep well to sleep well
Now, now, now to sleep well

4. Youngblood

An ochre love in the heart of all
An ochre love and the cold sea shores dear
My blood is yours for the night
For my fear is only little things like these cold seas and broken strings
Cause my blood is yours for the night
Late nights and this warmth between your thighs
Warm eyes and this warmth between your thighs

5. Waterside

And what these chapters showed us well
What these chapters showed us how
From all of the stones that cut our feet walking to the sea
Can teach us to be softer in our loving now
Can teach us to be softer as our lovers now
 
To be lost in your loving now
To be drowning by the waterside
But I’m not lost in your loving now
I’m not drowning by the waterside
I’m not lost in your loving now
I’m not drowning by the waterside
I’m just in love here by the waterside
 
Cause I want to be your bad habit when the night's done
When everybody’s gone home and we are sober
Cause I want to be your bad habit when the night's done
When everybody’s gone home and we’re sober
 
And these chapters taught us well and these chapters taught us how to know
From all this talk of the terror in the nights and these wolves in the dark but we’ve come to
I said we’ve come too far said we’ve come too far dear not to be
Lovers now, lovers here, lovers dear
And we cannot drown I said we will not drown dear cause
We are made of water dear made of water here
 
To be lost in your loving now
To be drowning by the waterside
But I’m not lost in your loving now
I’m not drowning by the waterside
I’m not lost in your loving now
I’m not drowning by the waterside
I’m just in love here by the waterside
 
I want to be your bad habit when the night's done
When everybody’s gone home and we are sober
I want to be your bad habit when the night's done
When everybody’s gone home and we’re sober

6. Time Alone

What we've found in this time alone, time alone
No room to grow and some stones to throw
Was a little love in the wood carved from the tree tops
A little love in the ocean and the salty skies
So I stood by the trees here to learn some wisdom
To speak clear, speak clear now
If you can be clear, be clear
How you stood with the silence

Singing grow
Let the wind blow, let the wind blow
Grow my love
Singing grow my dear
Let the wind blow, Let the wind blow away
This time alone, this time alone

So I'mma let my heart walk further then my feet
So my feet can follow
And I'mma let my heart walk further then it needs dear
So I stood by this tree to learn some wisdom
Speak clear, speak clear now
If you can be clear, be clear
How you stood with the silence
Singing grow
Let the wind blow, let the wind blow
Grow my love
Singing grow my dear
Let the wind blow, Let the wind blow away
This time alone, this time alone
This time alone, this time alone now

Let's find some beauty in the silence, before we go
Some beauty in the silence before we leave
Because nothing makes me nervous
Nothing makes me nervous, like you
So let's find some beauty in the silence
Before we go and some beauty in the silence before we leave
Cause nothing makes me nervous
Nothing makes me nervous like you close to me

Singing grow
Let the wind blow, let the wind blow
Grow my love
Singing grow, let the wind blow
Let the wind blow
Grow my love
Singing grow, singing grow
Grow here

1. Sea Level

There will be storms
for this is the sea
and there will be currents
that drag you to meet them
but remember
these current that swept you
from steady ground
lead somewhere
to a place
beyond turbulence
and if you look past
the turbulence and the currents
to the horizon
It is steady
and so are you.

 

2. Follow The Ocean

Hmm walking
Walking along these roads we thought we might have known
Holding onto things from which we thought we’ve grown
Holding onto things from which we knew but now we were lost
 
So when you walk your demons tonight
Let’s hold their paws and we’ll keep them warm and we’ll keep them warm
So when you walk your demons tonight, my dear
Let’s hold their paws and we’ll keep them warm and we’ll keep them warm
 
So follow the ocean back to your heart, so follow your fears back to the start
Follow the ocean back to your heart, follow your fears back to where we learned
And where we were taught
To fear this falling, falling
This falling for you
 
Hmm I’m not
I’m not sure now when I’m coming home
Cause I’ve come to love this time alone
And I’m not sure now
I’m not sure now when I’m coming home, cause this road we lost dear, we lost here
 
So when you walk your demons tonight
Let’s hold their paws and keep them warm and we’ll keep them warm now
When you walk your demons tonight dear
Let’s hold their paws and we’ll keep them warm
 
So follow the ocean back to your heart
Follow your fears back to the start
So follow the ocean back to your heart
Follow your fears back to where we learned, and where we were taught
To fear this falling, falling
 
Cause I’m not sure when I’m coming home girl
Coming home
Cause I’m not sure when I’m coming home love
Coming home,
Coming home
Because I’m not sure when I’m coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Because I’m not sure, when I’m coming home
Coming home here
 
So follow the ocean back to your heart
Follow your fears back to the start
So follow the ocean back to your heart
Follow your fears back to where we learned
And where we were taught
To where we were taught to fear this
Falling for love
This falling for love
This falling for love
This falling for love
This falling, falling here
This falling for you

3. Grown On

The weather came forth
The storm for the clearest day
Well I know it's been a while now
And I don’t really know you
But it’s about time we sat here hand in hand
And treated this with some importance dear
 
So bring me your love
So bring me your love
So bring me your love
And grow on, grow on, now with me
Grow on, grow on now please
Grow on, grow on now please don’t grow up
Cause we’re still learning how to love dear
Grow on
And grow on
 
The weather came forth

And I don’t really know you
But it’s about time we sat here hand in hand
Treated this with some importance dear
It was like looking in a mirror, but your eyes a little brighter and your skin a little less worn
But your eyes a little lighter and your skin little less torn
So you said to me
 
So grow on, grow on now with me Grow on, grown on and maybe you will see
So grow on, grow on now with me
Grow on, grown on and maybe you will see
So grow on, grow on now with me

4. Slow Dance

Let’s pretend like we have had this for years
And you smiled
But I can’t pretend to try and love you with the touch of time
 
With your big brown eyes and a smile girl
Well you asked
Could you be the guy to come home, slow dance with me tonight?
And one soft kiss at a time, move a little closer
And you can entangle your heart in mine
And the touch of your lips down my neck to send shivers, up my spine
Well your eyes were closed
And your hands wrapped in mine
 
And a slow dance and a bottle of wine
And a slow dance by candlelight
And once, and once we are done
We’ll take the phone directory in my passenger seat
Guide us home, guide us home
Take the phone directory in my passenger seat
And guide us home

5. Into The Wild (Demo Version)

Woken up to the
Sound of the kookaburra birds
Falling to sleep
Beneath the gums
But see, well we work too hard
To buy a nice car
To pay rent on a big white house
See we work so hard
And then we grow up
And we forget
Where we used to be young
Where we used to be young 


So I’m into the wild
Where we used to be young
Where we used to be young
So I’m into the wild
Where we used to be young
I swear we used to be young 


Woken up to the, the sun on my skin
Falling to sleep to a mess of green eyes and your auburn hair
But see well I worked too hard 
To buy a nice car
And to pay rent on a big white house
See we work so hard
And then we grow up
And we forget
Where we used to be young
Where we used to be young 


So I’m into the wild
Where we used to be young
Where we used to be young
So I’m into the wild
Where we used to be young
I used to be young 


Need to get lost
Need to get lost
Find time to turn our phones off
Turn our phones off
Try


Need to get lost
Need to get lost
Find time to turn our phones off
Turn our phones off
Need to get lost
Need to get lost
Find time to turn our phones off
Turn our phones off love
Need to get lost
Need to get lost
Find time to turn our phones off 
And go into the wild


Where we used to be young
I swear we used to be young
And l go into, go into the wild
Where, where we used to be young
That’s where we used to be young
And go into the wild
Where we used to be young
I swear we used to be young
