1.	Fireflies 05:22	lyrics	buy track
Walking through the frosted fields with my tripping friend He runs until he loses all his oxygen, and dropping all my contraband as he turns into a policeman I see the bright lights up ahead That's just my friend, heading in to where the park begins, and those lights are only fireflies surrounding me.

2.	We Have Stars 04:00	lyrics	buy track
No stars in the sky at night can really burn me out I feel just like I'm in a black, dead balloon I'd rather be in momma's kitchen making soup Crawling in some warm, clean sheets, and you Overcasting me Clouds start vanishing
