Lyrics

Hide Away
Music by: Jake Shimon, Secondhand
Words by: Jake Shimon

Feeling anxious and deluded
Feeling angry and insatiable
Feel unconscious and excluded
Feeling hungry and impossible to fill
On my high horse, on a freight train
In the jungle or the amazon
On the right course going insane
Can't remember just what I was tripping on

I'm hiding away
Got nothing to say
I don't wany to play
Hiding Away

Seeing color, seeing bright light
I am blinded by my own mistake
See the answer in my hindsight
I am hardly in the right mind state to break
In a moment, in a long while
For a second I am wide awake
In a shy voice with a half smile
I announce that I have nothing left to take

I'm hiding away
Got nothing to say
I don't want to play
Hiding away

Hiding away
Got nothing to say
I don't want to play
Hiding away

I'm hiding away


Waitin' On Summertime
Music by: Jake Shimon, Secondhand
Words by: Jake Shimon

Here I go again
I'm trying harder than I ever have before
Here I go again
I'm gettin' smarter but I still can't find the door
Just a little bit
Found nothing more than I could fit inside my head
Just a hypocrite
That's all I am I bet that's better left unsaid

'Cause I need someone to take me home
And I need to know I'm not alone
But I feel like sometimes this life could turn me to stone

And I can't see something
That isn't there
But I feel it comin'
It's in the air
And I just need something
To bridge the gap
So I'm waitin' on summertime
To finally get me back on track
Gotta get back on track

Here I am again
I can't believe that you could think that I was gone
Here we are again
It's like we never left but now it's later on
There I go again
That's what trying harder than you ever have will get
Can't remember when
But then again I think I'd rather not forget

'Cause I need someone to take me home
And I need to know I'm not alone
But I feel like sometimes this life could turn me to stone

Yeah
And It's never felt so right
Never felt so right
And It's never felt so right
Never felt so right
And It's never felt so right
Never felt so right

And I can't see something
That isn't there
But I feel it comin'
It's in the air
And I just need something
To bridge the gap
So I'm waitin' on summertime
To finally get me back

And I can't see something
That isn't there
But I feel it comin'
It's in the air
And I just need something
To bridge the gap
So I'm waitin' on summertime
To finally get me back on track

Gotta get back on track
Yeah, gotta get back on track
Yeah, gotta get back on track
Yeah, gotta get back on


Voice Mail
Music by: Jake Shimon, Secondhand
Words by: Jake Shimon

I'm sorry, but I'm not here right now
You could call back or leave a message
Inquiry, who, what, where, when and how
There's quite a topic here let's undress it

Kickstand
Left hand calmly catches up with conversation
Quicksand
Been banned, if you fall asleep it's sure to be forgotten

Well hello, it's good to hear from you
Just wanted to know how's it goin
It has been so, oh so long since last
How did we lose touch without knowing

Kickstand
Left hand calmly catches up with conversation
Quicksand
Been banned, if you fall asleep it's sure to be forgotten

Voice mail

Kickstand
Left hand calmly catches up with conversation
Quicksand
Been banned, if you fall asleep it's sure to be forgotten

Well hello, it's good to hear from you
Could you call back and leave a message


Sideways Days
Music by: Jake Shimon, Secondhand
Words by: Jake Shimon

Trip over my own two feet again
Spill out all the contents of my head onto the sidewalk
I've lost any chance I had to score
Forgot everything I've said before, and now I can't talk

It's one of those days
One of those days I can't see straight
It's one of those days
I'm sliding to the left again

Carefully cruisin' the maze in a dark haze
Follows the pattern of up days and down days
Everything opening up to me sideways
Leaving me sideways

Fall out of the zone that I was in
So different today I cannot win, confusing
Convinced that there's nothing I can do
I find nothing I can hold on to, still losing

It's one of those days
One of those days I can't see straight
It's one of those days
I'm sliding to the left again

Carefully cruisin' the maze in a dark haze
Follows the pattern of up days and down days
Everything opening up to me sideways
Leaving me sideways

Carefully cruisin' the maze in a dark haze
Follows the pattern of up days and down days
Everything opening up to me sideways
Leaving me sideways


It's one of those days
It's one of those days


Saturday Mourning
Music by: Jake Shimon, Secondhand
Words by: Jake Shimon

On the phone
But you're too busy
One more night alone
On my way
To Jamie's party
Should I head back home

Here I am
Slowly drinking
Soon I'll drift away
If I go
I might start sinking
So I think I'll stay

You'd find me here
If you could only find me
You'd find me here
You'd find me here
If you could only find me
You'd find me here
On Saturday mourning

Walking home
My vision blurry
But I'll be just fine
Heavy load
But my heart is sturdy
Some day I'll get mine

You'd find me here
If you could only find me
You'd find me here
You'd find me here
If you could only find me
You'd find me here
On Saturday mourning

You'd find me here
You'd find me here
You'd find me here
You'd find me here
On Saturday mourning
Saturday mourning

On the phone
But you're too busy
One more night
Alone


On a Higer Plane
Music by: Jake Shimon, Secondhand
Words by: Jake Shimon

Love
What can I say about love
That's not been said about love
Because I don't know if I'm speaking for myself
Love
Soaring high above
It's what we're dreaming of
It's anything that makes you feel like being yourself

So love and be happy you came
Love, it's nothing more than a game
That we may play
And I, I know don't feel the same
Since the day that I felt that love
On a higher plane

See
See what love is to me
I know they say love is free
But trust me it will cost you something
Free
There is no guarantee
And maybe you agree
That everybody needs to be in love with something

So love and be happy you came
Love, it's nothing more than a game
That we may play
And I, I know don't feel the same
Since the day that I felt that love
On a higher plane

So love and be happy you came
Love, it's nothing more than a game
That we may play
And I, I know don't feel the same
Since the day that I felt that love
On a higher plane

Love, it's nothing more than a game
That we may play
And I, I know don't feel the same
Since the day that I felt that love
That I felt that love
That I felt that love
On a higher plane


Depth Perception
Music by: Jake Shimon, Secondhand
Words by: Jake Shimon


Take me home, I was not ready for this, do you know how i got here?
On my own, I never asked you for this, feeling low and insincere

Look at me, can't you see that i'm tired, leave me be I'm exhausted
Sleep 'til 3, rise and feel uninspired, tried to scream but I lost it

I'm not alright, I haven't been in quite some time, Afraid I'm losing my mind
It's not alright, I need to dig deep down inside, but I'm afraid of what I'll find

I'm not alright, I haven't been in quite some time, Afraid I'm losing my mind
It's not alright, I need to dig deep down inside, but I'm afraid of what I'll find

I'm not like this, no I'm not like this I said, and I'm not like this by choice
