lyrics

I'd take to the coast,
If I just had some free time.
I'd take to a boat,
But I'm drifting already through my prime.

Life is passing by,
Life's passing the fuck by.

I'd take on my dreams,
If I had just piece of motivation,
But I know life among the trees,
Would give my heart the right invasion,

invasive species here in my minds forest,
Will be fought off by bigger ideas, wistful melodies and chorus!

I'd sell sea shells by the sea shore,
If the shore had more to offer, and didn't ask me for more.
Those sea shells come free, I take them for free,
And string them up in necklaces with my time and ask a small fee.

I'm tired of here,
If I could just fly over seas,
Start from new, drink better beer,
Over in Germany,

I'm so sick of this place,
So ready to start new,
I'm so scared that I won't find grace,
But as long as I have you.

I'd sell sea shells by the sea shore,
If the shore had more to offer, and didn't ask me for more.
Those sea shells come free, I take them for free,
And string them up in necklaces with my time and ask a small fee.

Oh, Je voudrais monter la bicyclette,
Partout où je veux.
C'est-à-dire pourquoi je propose,
Si ce n'était pas pour nièces et neveux.

Oh, Je voudrais monter la bicyclette,
chanter des chansons et se sentir au chaud dans le centre
Si le temps n'était pas fichu froid.
Je vais donnerais amour à la nature.

But I've a fear of leaving the west.
Of losing my time with the things I know best.
So I try to recreate older times with my friends,
As we drink on the rooftops and dance like it's the end.

Singing mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
