Let go
I wish I could tell you
I hope I can wake up
But all that I see
Im falling from this cloud
Crawling the pavement
On my hands and knees
I don't know if this is for sure
I've been waiting here a long while
But I think I'll stay
Until it fades away
I know that you have gone
Through these days long ago
And we find out its not as easy to ignore
There was nowhere to hide
When I'm running
You chase me down through my mind
But I'll always come back cause I just can't let you go
Now that you're here
And I am still with you
I feel you looking at me
Try to appear that I've been away now
When my heart is bruised and beat
I don't know if this is for sure
I've been waiting here a long while
so I'll try to stay
and keep the heartache away
CHORUS
I know we must go,
Our time has run out
I've seen it al before, so cruel and cut out
So i'll hold my head high, cause I see tomorrow
In and out of love, day after day
CHORUS

So I've Been Told

So I've Been Told
Said you were jaded by twenty three
Lost control when it all came so easily
It aint always as hard as it may seem
Or so I've been told my friend
I know that im in disarray
Hold on to what I know but it slowly goes away
There's only so much a man can do in a day
Or so i've been told my friend
But it aint gonna get me down again
Oh, the morning smiles as if it once knew me
All the people run wild, always moving
And I can't wither with you
Running out of time, too much to loose
Full of doubt driven by the past
You were left conflicted when your heard told you to contest
Live in the moment before its your last
Or so I've been told my friend
Well I will let you know when it ends
CHORUS

The Remedy

The Remedy
I've been having Nightmares
Waiting for a sunrise that never comes
Losing my ambition argue with the kitchen walls
And I lost
I know that someday we'll find our way
Out of here
Patiently we'll hold on, listen to a slow song
Forget our fears
Until our day is done
You'll be the remedy, I'll be your symmetry
All that I have lost
Oh I still believe, we'll knock em dead you see
You are the remedy
Oh its been a long day
I've been working my hands to the bone
There tyranny is graceless
Now you're feeling aimless all alone
I know that soon there
Will be truth where hearts rise
So come with me my darling
This ship will be departing in due time
CHORUS
Come on we found the ratrace will run us down
Our hearts collide you that we're still alive
CHORUS

Calculated Love

Calculated Love
You could never see the man that you're supposed to see
Always trying to subtract the things you thought shouldn't be
I am sick and tired of all your excuses
Try to add it up but its useless
And I'll never say to you "There's not enough time"
When I need you in my arms you never ask why
Fractions of your heart fit into mine
Its a calculated love
Never calculated right
Baby loves my but i know that we forced it
Never fell into place we had to multiply it
I don't need to nurture any more of this torment
Take a long divide and forfeit
CHORUS

Extraordinary

Extraordinary
My mother said go against the mould
But all these people just do what they're told
Going your own way can take some time
But life's too short to fall in line
She said
First on the field but last to hit the ball
I still give it what I got or nothing at all
I know its hard but its worth fighting for
So shoot for the stars let's settle the score
Well Im not sure when I'll make my mark
At least we'll rattle some cages
Shot in the dark
When im lost I still sing cause everyday is Extraordinary
Oh, Extraordinary
Your mind is hungry mine is on the go
And my heart keeps beating out of control
I got a fire inside for whats in store
So unshackle these chains lets kick down the door
She said
CHORUS
Now I know that we are not all lost
We'll find our way at all cost
Take my hand we'll roll the dice
Let our voices rise
It's just a matter of time
CHORUS

Smack Talk

Smack Talk
A young fool resonates in your bones
Tall tales no one else recalls
Why don't you save your stories
Jealousy don't look good on you at all
So Spin those lies
They phase me less every time
So call your friends
Oh wait a minute, you lost all of them
I can't take this anymore
Cause the smack talk has gone too far
So call me the enemy
Hearts ache, can't help feel sorry
Oh, the ignorance is wearing on the soul
Don't need this category
Can;t you see we're just pieces of a whole
With closed eyes
So much can pass you by
It's too late
To give it all up there's too much at stake
And I can't take this anymore
Cause the smack talk has gone to far
So call me the enemy
There's no need to justify
Every decision in my life
So call me what you will

Roses and Bottles

Roses and Bottles
Down to the lake the mountain cradled and snow up to our knees
We take a walk the town's cold and deserted you got all the warmth I need
The wind is howling right on through the day
This fever is rising, wouldn't want it any other way
Are we to far gone with roses and bottles?
How could it be?
What have you done to me?
Is it wrong to have everything feeling so right?
It seems
How it's supposed be
Well, later on we had wine at the table and talked about our youth
How we chased around love holding dreamers ambitions wishing nothing but truth
Well the seasons grew violent and the nights turned to days
And the word love never meant much until I saw your face
CHORUS
Maybe we are only wasting time
Maybe all the songs never seemed to shine
I've never felt like this till tonight in my life
CHORUS

Wild Electric

Wild Electric
I've been running all around
My arms reaching out to you
Won't you turn around
Got me looking like a fool
She likes danger, jerk with a temper
Unlike me
Maybe later we could get together
I'll make you believe
I could be reckless, wild electric
Your chaotic machine
Two in the morning I'll be calling
Come over if you know what I mean
I can't be myself Its driving me mad
I could be reckless, wild electric
Cause you know I need you so bad
Oh, its true I need to be with you
I wanna take you out tonight
But every time I ask you only roll your eyes
She wants adventure, I start to fracture when I see her smile
Maybe later we could get together
at least for awhile
CHORUS
You are so desirable I can hardly breathe
This is undeniable yet so out of reach
So ill prove what I got
Come on and give me a shot
CHORUS

Hello Wonderful

Hello Wonderful
Hello wonderful, you can understand my heart
I need somebody now
These days I predict drawn out like a bad movie script
Oh, this story is old
So tell me where it all went wrong
The challenge is facing nothing at all
When I dream emptiness appears
So tell me how do I get out of here
Hello wonderful, you can satisfy my soul
Create a colourful sound
Can't fade can't resist, bloke the punch but still get hit
My head spirals around
CHORUS
I wait for the wind to carry me along
But this destination never seemed so strong
So you take me by the hand and encourage me to be strong
I'll carry on
Hello wonderful

Drift Away
I found an island in the middle of the lake
Lets fill it with all we love
Bring everything as much as we can take
Start a new life and make our own laws
Just me and you
Swingin' on a rope over waterfalls
Down the hillside in the rain
No more worries no more troubles
They will all just drift away
Drift away
We could take a quiet walk through the meadow
I could pick you a bouquet
Build a house in a tree that's been hallowed
We will live for the day
Just me and you
CHORUS
By the campfire I could sing your favourite song
Stay up till the morning breaks
CHORUS

Maybe it was destiny, maybe it was coincidence, but when Noel Johnson came across an old Fender acoustic in a back alley in his hometown of Calgary at the age of sixteen, his fate was sealed. Years later, Johnson has honed his playing and songwriting chops without completely smoothing over the rough edges. The singer-songwriter’s folk rock is loose, rhythmic, rustic and catchy as hell. ... more
