How is it that they can float up in your mind
Little messages, little songs
Just to sink back down again
And how is it that you can go your whole life
Always questioning not accepting
Never sure of anything
How can you be sure
How can you be sure
How can you be sure
Ohhhhh
I'm not sure
I'm not sure
If we're supposed to

I got a message from you, oh
You were talking like we were having a conversation
And it was nice I guess
But at that moment you were halfway across the country
It was a hell of a year, oh
And I guess I thought I would be spending it on my own
But then I found myself walking
In a new city where I've never felt so at home
I want your diamond eyes latching on to me
And I'm in paradise when you're by my side
I can't escape anything that you say
My darling until I had met you, I'd never felt so at home
I've never felt so at home, I've never felt so at home
I make the most of it, oh
'Cause I know that that's exactly what you want me to do
I've met a lot of amazing people
And everybody that I meet always seems to remind me of you
I want your diamond eyes latching on to me
And I'm in paradise when you're by my side
I can't escape anything that you say
My darling until I had met you, I'd never felt so at home
I've never felt so at home, I've never felt
Well I got taken out with a sharp right
Landed on my ass, landed on my own
I'm well aware I was uncomfortable
But I knew I'd make it through
I want your diamond eyes latching on to me
And I'm in paradise when you're by my side
I can't escape anything that you say
My darling until I had met you, I'd never felt, oh id never felt
I've never felt so at home, home, oh I've never felt so at home, oh oh oh

Lionheart

Well I've got feet, I've got feet
They can carry me better than they used to
But if I fall, if I fall
They're gonna bury me just like everyone else
Well I'll stand tall, I'll stand tall
I'm a cherry tree just blossoming
And I wont fall, I wont fall
They wont bury me before my time has come
I was born, I was born
In the middle of a beautiful winter
But sometimes I, sometimes I hate the snow
Cause this has been, this has been
About anything but a beautiful winter
And I'm not blind I know it's time to go
Because lately I'm not feeling my self
Would you help me get away for a while
Cause I need to learn from you
And everything that you stand for
You've got the heart of a lion, heart of a lion, heart of a lion
Yes you do
And I could spend my whole life chasing after it
You've got the heart of a lion, heart of a lion, heart of a lion
It's okay, it's okay to laugh at yourself
But never say sorry for being you
Cause everybody that you've met has been less than perfect
Sometimes we get lost along the way
And that's the cold hard truth
Lately I've been feeling lost myself
Would you help me feel at home for a while
You've gotta know that I've been stretched too thin
But it's helping just to see you smile
Cause I need to learn from you
And everything that you stand for
You've got the heart of a lion, heart of a lion, heart of a lion
Yes you do
And I could spend my whole life chasing after it
You've got the heart of a lion, heart of a lion, heart of a lion
Not all that wander are lost
A rolling stone gathers no moss
But I'm getting tired of running
And green is my favourite colour
Not all that wander are lost
A rolling stone gathers no moss
But I'm getting tired of running
And green is my favourite colour
Not all that wander are lost
A rolling stone gathers no moss
But I'm getting tired of running
And green is my favourite colour
Not all that wander are lost
A rolling stone gathers no moss
But I'm getting tired of running
And green is my favourite colour
Cause I need to learn from you
And everything that you stand for
You've got the heart of a lion, heart of a lion, heart of a lion
Yes you do
And I could spend my whole life chasing after it
You've got the heart of a lion, heart of a lion, heart of a lion

My Garden

In my garden, there's enough for two
In my garden, there's enough for me and you
In my garden, we can share the view
In my garden, in my garden, in my garden
Woohoo
In my garden, there's a seed of truth
In my garden, I watch that flower bloom
In my garden, we can waste the afternoon
In my garden, in my garden, in my garden
In my garden, there's enough for two
In my garden, there's enough for me and you
In my garden, we can share the view
In my garden, in my garden, in my garden
In my garden, in my garden, in my garden, in my garden
In my garden, in my garden, in my garden, in my garden, in my garden
In my garden, in my garden, in my garden, in my garden

It's the middle of October, all the leaves have changed and you thought you did too
But just like the season it's anything but permanent
So when those thoughts come fluttering you rake them up in a pile and then jump right in
But remember the seasons; nothing is permanent
When you're living in the city
Being crushed by the weight of the buildings that hurt your neck
You put your trust in me
I can help you now, though I couldn't help you then
Who's gonna call you, who's gonna make it right, who's gonna be there listen listen
When you cried in my car I didn't know what to do
I was young and you were too
So who's gonna call you, who's gonna make it right, who's gonna be there listen listen
Trust in me, I can help you now, though I couldn't help you then
You bundle up against the weather, take out your favourite clothes
But there's a draft in your mind and the wind get's right inside
So close the windows, bring the shutters in
Block out that storm and all the pointless suffering
Bundle up against the weather
Till you're right inside
And you're still living in the city
Being crushed by the weight of the buildings that hurt your neck
You put your trust in me
I can help you now, though I couldn't help you then
Who's gonna call you, who's gonna make it right, who's gonna be there listen listen
When you cried in my car I didn't know what to do
I was young and you were too
So who's gonna call you, who's gonna make it right, who's gonna be there listen listen
Trust in me, I can help you now, though I couldn't help you then
It's funny how it seems to go
You forget but your mind remembers
And now another year's gone by
Let alone the month of September
Raking up the leaves picking up the pieces
Raking up the leaves just to jump right in again
Raking up the leaves picking up the pieces
Raking up the leaves just to jump right in again
And again
But it's not the same
Who's gonna call you, who's gonna make it right, who's gonna be there listen listen
When you cried in my car I didn't know what to do
I was young and you were too
So who's gonna call you, who's gonna make it right, who's gonna be there listen listen
Trust in me, I can help you now, though I couldn't help you then
Who's gonna call you, who's gonna make it right, who's gonna be there listen listen
When you cried in my car I didn't know what to do
I was young and you were too
So who's gonna call you, who's gonna make it right, who's gonna be there listen listen
Trust in me, I can help you now, though I couldn't help you then

- Silence
04:36
|
|||
I shut it out, hear the choir rushing in
Bittersweet, heralds of a memory
But lullabies only worked when I was young
Nowadays all I want is
Silence and open spaces
Silence is the only escape from the noise
Noise
Do you think about me
Is that a thing that you'd allow
If you think about me
Is it of who I was then or who I am now
When I think about you
My head gets way too loud
But I'll think about you
And drown everything out, everything out
This covers me like a shovel full of salt
Drying out all that I am from the outside in
And if I was yours I would still be full of song
But nowadays all I want is
Silence and open spaces
Silence is the only escape from the noise
Noise
Do you think about me
Is that a thing that you'd allow
If you think about me
Is it of who I was then or who I am now
When I think about you
My head gets way too loud
But I'll think about you
And drown everything out, everything out
Now that I think about it, fuck the silence
I'd rather have you singing in my head all day long
Now that I think about it, fuck the silence
I'd rather have you singing in my head all day long
Now that I think about it, fuck the silence
I'd rather have you singing in my head all day long
Now that I think about it, fuck the silence
I'd rather have you singing in my head all day long
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah all day long
I don't mind it, you can do no wrong

The Weakened Blues
03:39
|

I succumb to you
You succumb to me
We fall into bed
Our shoes still on our feet
Of all the ways it goes
All the ways it goes
Why not this way
Well I give-in to you
So damn easily
But why would I refuse
When you've got the sweetest honey
Of all the ways it goes
All the ways it goes
Why not this way
You say I'm not right for you
But what am I supposed to do
When everything was fine on the weekend
To hold your body is
To hold the master plan
May be an animal
But hey baby I'm your man
All the ways it goes
All the ways it goes
Why not this way
You say I'm not right for you
But what am I supposed to do
When everything was fine on the weekend
Hearts will fall apart
That's the way it goes
People run away
Almost every day
So regrettable
Unavoidable
Not much we can do
But I hate to see it happen to me and
You say I'm not right for you
But what am I supposed to do
When everything was fine on the weekend
I say I'll make time for you
I know just what you're going through
But everything will be fine on the weekend

In the beginning there was water
Falling on the ground so cold
And my lake was a puddle
Unaware of what would unfold
When I was younger I used to walk on your shore
Look across the water
Wonder what it was before
Now the years have caught up
All they do is build around
Never even thought of
What might have been yours
Then in a dream I thought I heard you say
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
I couldn't help but think of our daughters and sons
It's come across the water
All of it can be undone
Now the years have caught up
All they do is build around
Never even thought of
What might have been yours
Then in a dream I thought I heard you say
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
Say my name
I can't remember it anyways
Used to be so insignificant
That was before the rain
Now I need you to
Say my name
I can't remember it anyways
Used to be so insignificant
That was before the rain
Now I need you to stay

The Bike Song
04:01
|

I still remember the first spill on my bike, don't you
What a beautiful thing, what a welcome to life
When you scrape your knees on the pavement of your mind
I'll be there to pick you up, though I can't make it right
So ride away from all the pain
And I'll let go of your seat
The whole world is laid out at your feet
But don't forget about me
Every September was a horrible time for you
Getting ready for school, kissing summer goodbye
So when you pick a fight with the neighbourhood fools
I'll be there to back you up, but we're both gonna lose
So ride away from all the pain
And I'll let go of your seat
The whole world is laid out at your feet
But don't forget about me
I would do whatever it takes
I'd give anything for you
Know I've made a lot of mistakes
But not with you
With you

Wishing
06:06
|

It's quiet all around me
Quiet in the blue
The sun is getting filtered
Just trying to cut through
It's quiet all around me
Quiet as a tomb
I'm lying underwater in my cold lagoon
I've been wishing for something
Wishing like you know I do
Ya I've been wishing for something
But wishing doesn't make it true
How will I know what I have to do
Does a part of you die when you have to choose
Oh I've been wishing for something
Wishing like you know I do
Doesn't make it true
Doesn't make it true
So how will I know what I have to do
The decisions I was making, I didn't understand
Can I direct my thoughts or do the thoughts direct the man
The way that I was headed, I didn't stand a chance
Now I'm trying to move forwards doing everything I can
Cause I've been wishing for something
Wishing like you know I do
Ya I've been wishing for something
But wishing doesn't make it true
How will I know what I have to do
Does a part of you die when you have to choose
Oh I've been wishing for something
Wishing like you know I do
Doesn't make it true
Doesn't make it true
So how will I know what I have to do
How will I, how will I, how will I
How will I, how will I, how will I

Vesper
04:11
|
|||
When the dusk surrounds and the snow is falling
It's been a while, been a while
Then the vesper starts and the woods are calling
It's been a while, been a while
Lost in the haze of my only youth
Wandering aimless we soaked our boots
I would have done all you asked me to
Lost in the haze with you
Looking up all the trees are smiling
And the love surrounds, love surrounds
I'm lying back and the snow is piling
Love surrounds, love surrounds
Lost in the haze of my only youth
Wandering aimless we soaked our boots
I would have done all you asked me to
Lost in the haze with you

EXCUSE ME. Guelph, Ontario
Excuse Me is Adam Kuhrt, Aleks Liskauskas, Dylan Creed, Heyden Reay, and Jo Seymour; a five-piece alternative rock group.
The band formed at the University of Guelph in 2017 and developed a strong local following shortly thereafter.
We started our journey practicing in a cramped bedroom space, and somehow ended up in an even smaller one; but our dreams have never been bigger.
