lyrics

I wasn’t lost or found
just hiding in plain sight
just counting down the hours
‘til I could say goodnight
and I took my reveries
and dressed them up in sheets
I shut off all the lights
and I warmed my cold feet

I was an astronaut
on the other side of clouds
I was a magician
disappearing all your doubts
when I took my top hat
and put it in your hands
you opened up your eyes
and it had turned to sand

tonight
how can I get it right?
should I just stay up all night?
why can’t I get this right?
what do dreamers dream at night?

you weren’t up or down
just staring at the news
your blooming smile crushed by
a half hour of blues
and as the game shows came
you fell into a trance
woke on an open floor
and you danced the greatest dance

tonight
how can I get it right?
should I just stay up all night?
why can’t I get this right?
what do dreamers dream at night?

a hundred oceans raging flooding out my heart
I scream in agony as I am torn apart
“get up out of the bed!”, you say,
“why not dream today?”

Real Blasty
by Kyle Andrews

Kyle's a brilliant writer, vocalist, and techie producer-type. A rare combo. And this great range is on display on Real Blasty. And you may not realize it, but his songs are all over TV. Get it! Aaron Robinson

Rain in to the Sea
by David Shultz and The Skyline

David Shultz is a dear friend and a world-class songwriter. "Hide Me" has all the wistful Tom Petty pop flavor that you've been missing, and that's not all. This man can turn a phrase. Pick it up! Aaron Robinson
