about

"Shine" is all about good wishes and positivity. It's the yin to Mr Misery's yang. It's all about letting go of the past and moving forward! I feel like a lot of the time we get caught up in the past and dwell on how things were better or worse and end up forgetting to appreciate the stuff right in-front of us. It’s also kind of a reminder to not hold grudges because they’re f**king useless!

lyrics

"Shine"

Don't look back
Keep it moving
Everything's on track
No time for losing
Take care of yourself
Nobody else around
You don't need no help
Since you left the ground

Taking your photographs
Keeping ‘em for the record
Taking your boarding pass
Never to return
Over the open plains
Flying above the treetops
Maybe you left me here
Or maybe I let you go

Shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
You go and shine
Maybe I let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
You go and shine

I'm gonna let you go
Nothing here for you
No apologies
Your new life awaits
Make new memories
Keep ‘em close to ya
Build your family
There’s no time but now

Shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
You go and shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
You go and shine

Shine
Don't look back
Keep it moving
Everything's on track
No time for losing
Take care of yourself
Nobody else around
You don't need no help
Since you left the ground

Shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
You go and shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
Let you go
Shine
You go and shine
