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

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

Drive through the streets with your eyes closed,
trip on a stick where the wind blows,
so out of reach but it looks close, don’t assume what you don’t know.
You act real hot but you’re still cold, you wanna be rich with a Lambo,
So out of reach but it looks so close, don’t assume what you don’t know

You can walk around the entire world
But you still end up with what you started with first
Spit out money and you offer out lures
Get the girl but it wasn’t the cure
The television told you if you got up and went
Within 5/6 months you’d be playing japan
Now you’re in a new world you don’t have a friend
Don’t assume what you don’t know

So you told your ma that you’re gonna be free
You’re gonna be a new branch on the Hollywood tree
You leave with a couple hundred maybe three
And your high school degree
Finally you get an opportunity
They say listen close and only to me
Just sign off your name and creativity
Don’t ya don’t ya wanna be a star

You can walk around the entire world
But you still end up with what you started with first
Spit out money and you offer out lures
Get the girl but it wasn’t the cure
The television told you if you got up and went
Within 5/6 months you’d be playing japan
Now you’re in a new world you don’t have a friend
Don’t assume what you don’t know

Don’t say that I should know better
No shame, messed up, broken mirror
Don’t know why I’m drawn to fear
Hm

Walking downtown, smiling stranger
Light up, burnt out, thought I knew ya
I’ll pretend I don’t see through ya
Hm

Off the safety, I shoot the gun and I, and I, and I go again
Off the rails and I’m on the run and here, here, here we go again
Flip the switch and I’m in the mode, but I’m in control
Just so you know. And I, and I go again

Dark night, bright light, self-destruction
Blow my phone up, your obsession
I don’t need another lesson
Hm

It won’t kill me
Treading lightly
Please don’t hate me
Smarter than you think

Off the safety, I shoot the gun and I, and I, and I go again
Off the rails and I’m on the run and here, here, here we go again
Flip the switch and I’m in the mode, but I’m in control
Just so you know. And I, and I go again

Oh LaLaLaLaLa
Oh LaLaLaLaLa
Oh LaLaLaLaLa
Oh LaLaLaLaLa

Off the safety, I shoot the gun and I, and I, and I go again
Off the rails and I’m on the run and here, here, here we go again
Flip the switch and I’m in the mode, but I’m in control
Just so you know. And I, and I go again
