ALL MY LIFE
Strangers on a Plane
The blinding lights, the city lights
spread across the skyline
speaks to me to call me home
Another voice, another song
I feel it push me further
breathe me in and go to work
Cant stop, can’t walk, can’t think straight
count sheep, my mind up so late,
its talks so loud won’t let me sleep
Cant breathe, can’t see, can’t sit right
keep chasing all these tail lights
run round till nothing’s left to see
I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life
I can’t help myself from feeling so alive
I see it all, I see it now
If I could go no further
would I find peace in this somehow
another night, another day
is this just what it feel like
excuses rise and fall away
With you, I fly, so high now
I know this place, this come down
been blind to all the ways I’ve been
ride hard, ride free, just go though
keep me from falling into
another life of solitude
I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life
I can’t help myself from feeling so alive
The blinding lights, the city lights
spread across the skyline
speaks to me to call me home

COMPLACENCY
Strangers on a Plane
I gave into complacency
Work only for necessity
Fill up my space with pretty things
It’s what I like
Spend all my time in front of screens
Make out like it's so easy
Made it all look like
It’s perfectly aligned
I'm filling up these holes
They’re bigger every time
Just when I think I might done
I find another one
Excuses lined up carefully
Not my responsibility
Thoughts are all hypocrisy
But I don’t seem to mind
Say only what the others say
opinions formed so carefully
from everything and nothing
All the same, all the same
I'm filling up these holes
They’re bigger every time
Just when I think I might done
I find another one
Won’t see though its in front of me
I only think about my needs
Tell you I am so happy
But I’m empty all the time
I'm filling up these holes
They’re bigger every time
Just when I think I might done
I find another one
I can’t stop feeling like
I’m not the only one

BE STILL
Strangers on a Plane
You got your fill from the last time
Please don’t take me down again
Feel it take a turn, for the worst
As I map out what to use first
But my artillery ain’t what it use to be
Be still my beating heart
Be still my beating heart
Be still my beating heart
A lifetime full of guilt, I never wanted
Feel it swell and overtake
What once resembled,
Little parts of itself, Finely assembled
But my mind, you see, ain’t what it used to be
My conscience, razor thin
Feel it sink beneath the sins
That I’ve committed
But it’s all inside my head
Be still my beating heart
Be still my beating heart
Be still my beating heart
Don’t try to fight it
Don’t try to hide it
Know when it’s time to move on
Know when to stand your ground
Be still my beating heart
Be still my beating heart
Be still my beating heart

FAR
Strangers on a Plane
I had a dream that you and I grew old,
We sat together by the beach to talk of days of old
We talked of good, we talked of bad, of all our loves and foes
Of all the things that we had done to save our souls
We talked for hours, we talked for days and watched the waves roll by
We held each other close and watched the sky
We cried and laughed and then we said goodbye
We lived our lives all in that moment just you and I
We each had hopes and dreams we wanted
Not knowing that one day we would part and
Lose each other for
What seemed so long,
But we’re not that far.
I had a dream that you and I grew old
We sat together by the beach…

TIPSY
Strangers On A Plane
Your gaze is like a crystal ball
I see into your heart
All because of you
I’ve watched you crash and burn
Into inferno and restart
That’s just how you do
I've tossed and turned and tipsy’d
Off the roller coaster ride, decided to be high
And all of this with you
I’ve watched you crash and burn
Into inferno and get wild
I lost it in your smile
You makin' me crazy ‘bout you
Your words are like a razor blade
You make me certified
Beside myself it’s you
I’m screamin' fo' my sanity
And I just can’t deny
All these things you do
I’ve tossed and turned and tipsy’d
O,ff the roller coaster ride, decided to be high
And all of this with you
I’ve watched you tear a room apart
And lose it like a child
Then walk a hundred miles
You makin' me crazy ‘bout you
There’s nothing left unsaid with you
You’ve clearly lost your mind
You love to break the rules
You’ve always had your way with me
We’ve always had good times
All these things we do
I’ve tossed and turned and tipsy’d
Off the roller coaster ride, decided to be high
And all of this with you
I’ve watched you crash and burn
Into inferno and get wild
I lost it in your smile
you makin' me crazy ‘bout you

LONELY
Strangers On A Plane
You mean more to me than I’ve seen
All this time it’s been like
Something that I thought I knew
You’ve got me thinking
Down and out been losing my sleep
Been thinking bout what I’ve been fighting to keep
Feeling away from all of my dreams
Things are not what they seem
Don’t we ever find what we’ve been looking for,
Looking for
I waited for oh so long,
I wanted nothing else but
You and I alone then
we won’t be so lonely
we won’t be so lonely
One day I know I will feel okay
Maybe that’ll be today
Just like any other highway
Just waiting for the ride
The streets are empty, nights are cold
The dancing young, the sleeping old
While everyone’s on the phone
Talk into the microphone
Don’t forget the day we met and what we did
And what we said and how
Things turned out to be this way
I waited for oh so long,
I wanted nothing else but
You and I alone then
we won’t be so lonely
we won’t be so lonely
we won’t be so alone
When I come home the lights are off and it’s cold
(oh so cold)
You got aces, baby I should just fold
(just fold)
Now how many times you think this story been told
(I don’t know)
Well baby, this game is getting so old
(oh so old)
I waited for oh so long,
I wanted nothing else but
You and I alone then
We won’t be so lonely
We won’t be so alone

FOREVERMORE
Strangers On A Plane
I just wanna say this
I know how you’ll take this
Please let it go
I know that’s it’s over
All that I waited
Memory faded
Leave it alone
I walked into the shadows
Of something I barely knew
And though you stood there
There was nothing I could do, anymore
I called out into the darkness
To see if I was really there
And you could see me
I could feel it in your stare, forevermore
I just wanna say this
I know how you’ll take this
Please let it go
I know that’s it’s over
All that I waited
Memory faded
Leave it alone
I walked into the nightmares
All the things you put me through
And I could taste it
Not a thing I wouldn’t do, anymore
I cried out to the blackness
Needing to be whole
And so I took you
Took you deep in my soul, forevermore
Forevermore
I just wanna say this
I know how you’ll take this
Please let it go
I know that’s it’s over
All that I waited
Memory faded
Leave it alone
How long have you been here?
Your heart beat in my ear.
I made it crystal clear,
That this can’t happen
Anymore
I walked into the shadows
Somewhere I really knew
And though you stood there
There was nothing you could do,
Anymore

SOMEDAY
Strangers on a Plane
Someday I’m gonna find love
I thought it was your love
it was all that I wanted and all that I needed
and someday I’m gonna find love thought it was your love
I thought it was you love
How many times have I said I was wrong
how I have waited and, and tried to be strong
only to find out the one that I want
is not who I thought and now it seems (that)
I’ve had enough
Someday I’m gonna find love
I thought it was your love
It was all that I wanted and all that I needed
And someday I’m gonna find love
Thought it was your love
I thought it was you love
Been trying to please you with all that I do
thought there was something from all we’ve been through
just silly illusions run round in my head
and each time we’d fight,
I’d give in and then take you to bed
Someday I’m gonna find love
I thought it was your love
It was all that I wanted and all that I needed
And someday I’m gonna find love
Thought it was your love
I thought it was you love
but each day that goes by
I feel a little less like crying
and something tells me inside
that it’s gonna be alright
Someday I’m gonna find love
I thought it was your love
All that I wanted and all that I needed
And someday I’m gonna find love
Thought it was your love
I thought it was you love
But someday I’m gonna find love
I thought it was your love
It all that I wanted and all that I needed
And someday I’m gonna find love
Thought it was your love
I thought it was you

WINGS
Strangers on a Plane
I watched the pieces as they fall back in with ease
just like they’d always been not ever in between
come away, come away, away with me
cause things aren’t always as bad as they may seem
I knew a time or two when light was shining in
but it was small and never knew to question it
it is mine, it is yours, what can we do
amidst the promises it brings us something new
I carry you around inside my pocket
Just a token of a life already lived
Doesn’t matter that this ones bound and broken
Somehow I know that I will find my wings
Take a good look out and see what we have done
Is it enough to set the world ablaze and run
Give it time, give it time, already done
Look to the east, you see it rises with the sun
Is it everything you hoped that it would be
I have wandered to the never-ending sea
It is done, it is done, now let it go
Kills us slowly, so that we will never know
I carry you around inside my pocket
Just a token of a life already lived
Doesn’t matter that this ones bound and broken
Somewhere I know that I will find my wings
I have peered inside your heart and I have seen
You can’t always find the words for what you mean
I can see, I can see, it everything
Behind the veil of all the words to which you cling
I’ll fall apart again to see what rises from the ashes
Shake it off, and let the old one fade away
Walking through the flames with my heart strong and open
And with you I’ll rise to take the day
I’ll carry you around inside my pocket
Just a token of a life that’s left to live
Does it matter that this one’s bound and broken
Somehow I know that I will find my wings
Somehow I know that I will find my wings
Somehow I know that I will find my wings

Strangers On A Plane Toronto, Ontario
Courteney Brookes and Evren Oz met on a plane.
They take you on that journey starting
as strangers, becoming lovers, from couple to family, and through it all, the madness and music. It’s all there, the excitement and the fear, the magic.
Their lyrics read like a romantic tragedy, the music is dissonant, yet surprisingly hopeful, visceral and at times smothered in velvet.
