FAR AGAIN
By Declan Ryan

Was it you who made me mark, the date and time I made it stop?
Do remind me
Somewhere soon I'm hopping stars, until then, I'll bait the dark
Do remind me
Do remind me 

La da da da dum 
La da da da dum 

Take it and run. Leave all but my cardigan.
'Cause we're far again
I could do it at once. Remind me what you underwent.
'Cause I'm far again 

Not until the car was on the main
I got lost in its insignificance 
Not until you were running late 
I couldn't do it then, no I couldn't bear the weight

WHERE THE SEA ENDS
By Declan Ryan

Be all the skylines we see
They all look the same to you
But I would know better
Keep all the time with the sea
It all feels the same to me
But you would know better

And so we sit and wait
And so we sit and wait for darkness
Cause oh the sun's awake
And oh the sun's awake and it's changing
Just like we do
Just like we do

So give me stars and I'll keep them in my pocket
I'll miss you, far off where the sea ends
Take my guitar and I'll fly off in a rocket to see you
Then you and I can play pretend
Then you and I can play pretend

In all this pain you can hold my gaze
And oh I'll keep it close oh I'll keep it close to you
In all the ways this could break away
But it don't

So give me stars and I'll keep them in my pocket
I'll miss you, far off where the sea ends
Take my guitar and I'll fly off in a rocket to see you
Then you and I can play pretend
Then you and I can play pretend

WHISPERS
By Declan Ryan

Lead me along to a place we’ve kept a million miles away 
Through the storm keep your bag from getting in the rain 
And we hold on, as the wind sweeps us off our feet 
It takes its toll, all these bright lights and terrors on the screen 
Leave it all, oh I’ll leave it all for everything I keep 
And oh I hope, I hope you find what you need 

Before I know, I will let it run into these bones 
Chasing cars and letting trouble go 
Growing tired and swinging from the ropes 
We’re so close to letting time leave us in the cold 
Watching stars and letting doors close 
While we’re racing light, avoiding night and carrying whispers back home 

Give not a thought to the suit and tie that chains you to your seat
Nothing more oh nothing more we need high up in the trees 
I’m down below, dreaming of the sea
So draw your sword, slash the tears that were bursting at the seams
Stumbling forward, hold back the fear as we wander through the deep 
And oh I hope, I hope you find what you need 

Before I know, I will let it run into these bones 
Chasing cars and letting trouble go 
Growing tired and swinging from the ropes 
We’re so close to letting time leave us in the cold 
Watching stars and letting doors close 
While we’re racing light, avoiding night and carrying whispers back home

YOUNG
By Declan Ryan

Can you see me wave my hands? 
Could you tell me what this means?
It’s all so hard to understand 
Only leave for kings and queens 
But what’s it to me?
I can’t fall to sleep 

But there’s a runway laying on the ocean floor 
With bright lights shining as long as I am young 
And after all this need to have something more 
I’ll leave it there and I’ll keep it as it was 

If it’s all just a dream, why’d I run away from it 
Turn around and leave a promise you can’t keep 
There’s a million different things, keeping me from being honest 
Lose your speech until August 19th 
There’s no stars or sheets 

I’ll rearrange, but I would never change for you 
I’ll let it go further than the stars 
Wash away the thousand words I sang for you 
I’ll let you know then I’ll race you to the car 

And if it’s all just a dream, why’d I run away from it 
Turn around and leave a promise you can’t keep 
There’s a million different things, keeping me from being honest 
Lose your speech until August 19th 

And if it’s all just a dream, why’d I run away from it 
Turn around and leave a promise you can’t keep 
There’s a million different things, keeping me from being honest 
Lose your speech until August 19th 
There’s no stars or sheets
