For Stephen 02:06
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 05:36
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 03:23
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

Dopamine 05:13
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

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
9.
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

about

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.
