Clearly (2018)
There’s a world outside my door
I don’t know it anymore
I’m gonna stay here now
I’m gonna stay here now
Close the curtains, cut the lights
Match the darkness in my mind
It’s gonna take me down
It’s gonna take me down
All the roads I’ve been before
Same mistakes always got me shakin’
And all the signs I once ignored
In my denial, I didn’t want to face them
I can see clearly now
The rain has gone
I accept all the things that I cannot change
Gone are the dark clouds
The dawn has come
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day
There’s a world outside my door
I forced my feet down to the floor
I’m gonna make it out
I’m gonna make it out
Take a breath and say a prayer
Find the strength in my despair
It’s not gonna take me down
It’s not gonna take me down
All the roads I’ve been before
Same mistakes always got me shakin’
And all the signs I once ignored
In my denial, I didn’t want to face them
I can see clearly now
The rain has gone
I accept all the things that I cannot change
Gone are the dark clouds
The dawn has come
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day
All the pain in my sorrow
Won’t change today, only ruin tomorrow
All the pain in my sorrow
Won’t change today, only ruin tomorrow
I can see clearly now
The rain has gone
I accept all the things that I cannot change
Gone are the dark clouds
The dawn has come
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

Stray (2019)
I wanna write a song
One that can explain my lungs
I wanna write a song
That you can hear and…
Know how my heart yearns, and how my insides churn, and how my cheeks burn from the weekly
storm
And how my face turns before you return to the wall and then down the floor
But I keep only
Seeing rain
I will say no
But you keep crawling in my brain
I wanna get lost
Run away
In the dark
Is where I’ll stray
I gotta write a song
But I wanna feel my words
And I keep getting it all wrong
Think it out, write it out, rip it out, start all over ooh
And I keep only
Seeing rain
I will say no
But you keep crawling in my brain
I wanna get lost
Run away
In the dark
Is where I’ll…
I wanna feel the way I used to
I wanna move the way I used to groove
I wanna feel the way I used to
I wanna move the way I used to groove
But I keep only
Seeing rain
I keep saying no
But you’ll find your way into my brain
I wanna get lost
Run away
In the dark is where I
I keep only seeing rain
I will say no
But you keep crawling in my brain
I wanna get lost
Run away
In the dark
Is where I’ll stay
Wanna feel the way I used to
I wanna move the way I used to groove
I wanna feel the way I used to
I wanna feel the way I used to

The View of “Stray” From Canada, by Canada Stewart
Hideaway (2019)
Let’s wrap a blanket ’round us
And go flyin’ into outer space
We could be famous, speak a different language
Make our great escape
I’ll chase the stars inside your eyes
And follow you into the great unknown
We’ll be alone
So let’s just play pretend and find a secret place
When the world around us says that we should act our age
The day is gonna come when there’s no time left to waste
But we’ll never grow up, I say we hide away
And build a city, something out of nothing
Make this place a home, a home
Stay make-believing, we’ll go disappearing
Who would ever know?
We’ll never be too far apart
‘Cause in the end, you and I both know
There’s somewhere we can go
So let’s just play pretend and find a secret place
When the world around us says that we should act our age
The day is gonna come when there’s no time left to waste
But we’ll never grow up, I say we hide away
Just want to hide away
Hide away, hide away
Hide away, hide away
We’ll never grow up
Just want to hide away
Hide away, hide away
Hide away, hide away
So let’s just play pretend and find a secret place
When the world around us says that we should act our age
The day is gonna come when there’s no time left to waste
But we’ll never grow up, I say we hide away
So let’s just play pretend and find a secret place
When the world around us says that we should act our age
The day is gonna come when there’s no time left to waste
But we’ll never grow up, I say we hide away
Don’t make me grow up, I say we hide away
