Verse 1
Hollywood Bowl in the summer time
Man these 10 years flew by
I love the palm trees and the tacos
Surfs up heading toward a crossroads
Melrose Avenue tells the stories of L.A.
Head up to Griffith catch a falling star
Rock n Roller Sunset Blvd
Venice Beach time’s a wastin'
The city’s intoxicating
Everybody’s chasin' their big break in L.A.
Chorus
California days take me away, take me away, take me away
California nights and the city lights in the summertime
California days take me away, take me away, take me away
California nights and the city lights we dream of shining bright
In LA, In LA
Verse 2
Moonroof open on the 405
Hair blowin in the wind I feel alive
From the Canyon to the Valley
Dreams come true in Cali
And all these Boulevards tell a story of L.A.
It's cool to be different let's celebrate it
MedMen got me elevated
Anything can happen keep believing
Find my way through meaning
There’s nothin’ like the feeling I fell in love with L.A
Chorus
Bridge
We’ll be together forever
Out West under the stars
California cruise control
Keep me on the right course
Chorus

Intro Chorus
You can't stop me
Nothin's gonna stand in my way (nothin' nothin' nothin')
I'm gonna fly higher
I'm gonna fly higher (higher!)
Verse 1
6 am alarm fighting battles in my brain
A trance of anxiety shooting through my veins
I doubt, I fear, I question my drive
I tell myself I'm worth it no one's perfect I gotta try
I'm working at my craft, I'm carving my own path
I'm pounding on my chest with nothing left times ticking fast
A locomotive of momentum flowing from inside
I made a promise to myself, now wake up and rise
Chorus 1
You can't stop me
Nothin's gonna stand in my way (nothin' nothin' nothin')
I'm gonna fly higher
I'm gonna fly higher (higher!)
Verse 2
Friday night show got some swagger in my step
About to hit the stage, give it everything I have
The sweat, the blood, the hours, the tears
It was worth it, I deserve it I been on the grind for years
I'm writing everyday, applying what I learn
I'm getting better, now my voice is starting to be heard
A locomotive of momentum go and get em kid
I made a promise to myself let's do something big
Chorus 2
You can't stop me
Nothin's gonna stand in my way (nothin' nothin' nothin')
I'm gonna fly higher
I'm gonna fly higher (higher!)
You can't stop me
Nothin's gonna stand in my way (nothin' nothin' nothin')
I'm gonna fly higher
I'm on fire (fire!)
Bridge
We made it, we made it
It was never really that complicated
All I had to do was close my eyes and fall
We've been through it all
Yea we made it, we made it
It was never really that complicated
All we had to do was close our eyes and fall
We've been through it all
We've been through it all

This Time
(Jensen Reed & Lisa Donnelly)
Verse
I was wandering, falling over time
I could feel your heart out in the distance
Hoping for an answer, hoping for a sign
The change that I’ve been seeking
Might be inside of you
If I could love enough to break it down
That’s the only way to find the truth
Chorus
This time I gotta roll with the punches
This time I’m gonna be on point
This time feels so much different, where life is leading us
This time we’re gonna shine high above
This time they’re gonna hear our songs
This time feels so much different
You’re fucking beautiful
Verse
Better be strong, do what you like
Always uncontrollable to hold for so long
Come a little closer cause it feels nice
Something special about to happen
When you close your eyes
Enough of the restless souls…blowing in the wind
They follow everywhere you go
Don’t let them in
Chorus
Bridge
The truth, this time
I’ll try, this time
Chorus

They Can’t See Me
(Jensen Reed & Michael Vincze)
Verse (JR)
I believe in the rhythm of the seas
Wandering stars protect my nights
Been on the road for as long as I
Can remember what it’s like
To have my brain in a constant freeze
An imposter in my place
A world where no one’s missing
Fight everything you face
Well, leave it all behind let’s get movin’
Gonna take a long time that’s been proven
An advance of your future stop spinnin’ your wheels
Left over from the battle but the scars will heal
I’m pushin’ away, pushin’ away…pushin’ away, pushin’ away
Off to the palace, my hand so calloused
Emperor on the throne take a sip from the chalice
Chorus
March of the dragons beatin’ on their drum
Way past empty my body’s numb
Fresh outta luck been down before
Never gonna stop me, star a war
Rise up. Put your game face on
Back against the wall, I fight strong
They can’t see me so I don’t care
Bob and weave through the bullets in the air
Verse (MV)
I won’t stop for anyone no
I’m all talk, I’ll run you down
Hands in the air let my finger tell you
How I feel when I’m around you
I don’t care if I die tomorrow
I do the same things that I did today
You can’t see me cause you can’t see
You can’t see me cause I won’t be seen
Nooooo. Nooooo. Slow your roll.
No control…
Chorus
Bridge (JR)
I’m breakin’ all the rules
You can’t tell me what to do
Walk my path, never look back
This is the life I choose (x2)
Chorus

Old Photos
Verse
World spinnin’ on its axis
But I can’t even pass this test of mine…I’m fine.
Momentary lapses follow me backwards into time…we’re fine
I don’t want to fall this far, I don’t like to feel so low
I don’t want to fall this far, I don’t like to feel so low, so low
Chorus
Frame the photos and the fading memories
They’ve taken a toll
It’s not your fault I’ve lost control
Under water my head hurts again
Got nothing left
I need your love, to hit refresh
Verse
It’s the moments that you can’t get back
Innocent child filled with dreams
Get a grip, take hit
Fall apart, leave it all behind
If you blink it can be gone
Every second of your life is flying by
I promise I won’t take it for granted anymore
I don’t want to fall this far, I don’t like to feel so low
I don’t want to fall this far, I don’t like to feel so low, so low
Chorus
Bridge (JR)
It’s a lot for me to take, the years slip away
Silence in the halls, I don’t know what to say
It’s harder than it seems, stuck somewhere in between
But I don’t want to lose this life when we’re set free
Chorus
