I am the sea and I can breathe. I’ll splash and crash into dawn. You are the moon and you made me swoon. You moved me, you moved me into hope. And for a while there we dance, we danced we danced, we danced. And how could I have been so blind You shared the sky with your love. She’s your sun, you’re her moon, I’m the sea. She’s your sun, you’re her moon, I’m the sea. Yet you found me darkness, You brought me back to the light The clouds they parted, showing you, shining, spreading all your light. Your sun she shines brightly, She brings the best out in you. You reflect onto my deep blue see You see. Now I see the light, now I see the light, now I see the light Now I see the light, now I see the light, now I see the light She’s your sun, you’re her moon, I’m the sea. She’s your sun, you’re her moon, I’m just the sea. Since I’m the sea, I’ll never be, the sun you need to shine bright. So I’ll find some land and embrace the sand I’ll settle, I’ll settle for peace of mind. When I am blue, I’ll look to you to see what true love should be

Lost Lullaby 03:29
Years gone by, I still don’t know if I should cry I lost your pretty face. You could not stay, I had to send you on your way I never knew this price I’d pay. Now I’m singing this lost lullaby Whisper soft goodbye to a love I’d never met and who knows the life you could have had and the love we’d share until my final breath and if I can’t tuck you in from here I’ll raise my voice, raise my voice up to the air Sing asleep, asleep, the moon is asleep oh way up in the sky. Sing asleep, asleep, the stars are asleep and happily they sigh Hear my lullaby. Now I’m singing this lost lullaby Whisper soft goodbyes to a love I’d never met and who knows the life you could have had and the love we’d share until my final breath and if I can’t tuck you in from here I’ll raise my voice, raise my voice up to the air Sing asleep, asleep, the moon is asleep oh way up in the sky. Sing asleep, asleep, the stars are asleep and happily they sigh Hear my lullaby.

Times been passing away and I can’t seem to find you let us go back to the days when I thought I could follow through When we made out homes out of blankets and pillows The world was our for the taking, making plans. 
 Yes, young love scares us and dares us to care and when we’re ready Let us sit here making plans how we’re gonna run away and start a band and how we’ll go on tour with strings and horns and rhythm section. The arenas we play will ring with the hearts of those who are willing to take time at all to appreciate just how far we’ve come. Let the record spin, to the moon & back again. The sun she rises and falls through the smiles and goodbyes Oh yes kids these days don’t know how not to lie So we stand alone against a crippling self doubt the only thing we understand is this Yes, music streaming from our hearts and when we’re ready Let us sit here making plans how we’re gonna run away and start a band and how we’ll go on tour with strings and horns and rhythm section. The arenas we play will ring with the hearts of those who are willing to take time at all to appreciate just how far we’ve come. So we sat there making plans how we were gonna run away and start a band and how we’ll go on tour with strings and horns and rhythm section. But now the bars we play do ring with the few of those who are willing to take time at all to appreciate just how far we’ve come. Let the record spin, to the moon & back again.

Been down this road so many times, could probably just do it blind You say hello, how do you do next thing I know I'm regretting you And I, I oh how I lie Just to feel, feel so alive and the winds from the east, they have carried me all this time they know where I must be, but for now just let me sleep Oh the snow lies in rows on the sidewalks of the city and I watch the time slink past like a movie, an endless movie and I hope to no end that this darkness will pass me soon and step aside for the springtime for sunny days and fresh air And now I, I oh how I lie Just to feel, feel so alive and the winds from the east, they have carried me all this time they know where I must be, but for now just let me sleep In the dark I am surrounded by pizza boxes & dirty laundry and the sound of my voice has become foreign to your ears and maybe one day you'll hear this song, and know I never meant any harm and now I, I oh how I lied, just today, today to get by. and the winds they cut deep as they pass me one more time and you'll never ask me why when I let you know that I'm fine so I sing and I drink Who else knows how this song even goes?

Crave 02:52
Christmas last year I never thought the sun would shine again Winter blew through what I thought would be my very end But then a smile, your laugh brought me from sadness and something spurred in me You make me crave adventure demand it out of every day The whole damn world seems brighter when you send that smile my way I know I’m gonna be okay Most sensible people they talk through how they’ve planned their lives on point But sensible people always seem to disappoint there were no profound discussions of our madness We decided It’s adventure time let us drink, let us drink until we feel okay to fly It’s adventure time and we’ll dance in every country shall we eat some more gelato and enjoy this time we share All those voices telling me that there is a certain way to walk and talk and live They’re just jealous cuz they know that there is no better feeling then our little piece of freedom There’s no stopping us now You make me crave adventure demand it out of every day The whole damn world seems brighter when you send that smile my way I know I’m gonna be okay I know I’m gonna be okay I know I’m gonna be okay and I’m gonna be okay, okay, okay, I’m gonna be okay.

There was a time, there was a time not so long ago when we felt invincible When we left our quiet hearts on display inside the windows of glass menagerie. There were lions, they were proud and strong and brave they always lead the way to the clubs that laughed and played who could never seem to turn down all the noise they had to say Oh oh oh, why’d you have to go and just leave us here to drown in our sorrows? When you flew away you broke the window pane. Oh oh oh, why’d you have to go and just leave us here to drown in our sorrows? When you flew away you broke the window pane.

Big Dipper 04:02
Is this real? How could this happen? How did we go from nothing and end up here? As if we didn’t have enough. Who knew that it would be this rough? Is this true or am I crazy? Do you feel the same way that I do? I know I shouldn’t say a thing. So instead, I’ll sit alone and sing.. Now I’m here, waiting for you call, waiting for some kind of sign it’ll be okay. But you’re not here, you’re where you should be. You are happy, in love, just not with me. Just not with me. But maybe you are or maybe I’m dreaming but I can’t help to see that twinkling in your eye, in your eye You can’t hide, at least no, not from me. Do you ever wonder what our lives could be? We could be brave and we could go on adventures every day Yes, with the world as our oyster, nothing could bring us down. We could be every day heros, make every second count and life could be just swell. Now I’m here, waiting for you to call, waiting for some kind of sign it’ll be okay. And you’re not here, you’re where you should be. You are happy, in love, just not with me. Just not with me. My heart is full of love for you even though I know we can’t do this right now Your heart isn’t mine to have. Keep your eyes to the skies, look for that constellation Promise me, you’ll spare a thought for me and dip me slow.

Clarity 03:51
Away, away from here Where I don’t gasp for air I know there is peace. Past mountains, cliffs and fields forgotten all our fears and face adventure side by side And though we’re not there just quite yet We’ve tasted bliss and we cannot forget And until we have enough to run again We’ll do our time, ‘till we can Find the highest lows there is to see Swim rivers deep and find me the softest patch of grass on which to sleep and we’ll dance in rain and bathe in waterfalls I can’t recall the last time I could see with clarity And here I am today just itching to get away and chase that sunrise every morn. Yet from the time we’re born they urge us to conform to work, find love, get married and die sans debt But I don’t know if I can fit that code it’s time to go and hit that open road you know the world will still be there when we look back so you’d better pack cuz all I wanna do is Find the highest lows there is to see swim rivers deep and find me the softest patch of grass on which to sleep and we’ll dance in rain and bathe in waterfalls I can’t recall the last time I could see with such clarity

Space 03:39
Waking up, Tuesday morning and I think I am alright and for four glorious seconds, all I’m feeling is the light But the memories of last night they creep back slowly to my mind and I fear I’ll be stuck forever in this time. Where I smile and laugh and dance and sing and scream with open arms and all you see when you talk to me is solely just my charm but my heart it beats like thunder and I’m all kinds of distressed. It’s time I sit and breath and take a little rest. I need space to get my head clear oh I know I can’t keep drinking to the bottom of this beer I don’t recall getting to this state They wanna make me numb anyways, I’ll self medicate I will drink until I can’t remember that I don’t wanna be Just another reckless, stupid somebody. Waking up, Wednesday morning and I think I feel alright and for ten glorious seconds all I’m feeling is the light cuz I feel your heart beat next to mine and breathe in time, its true I wonder if this time the guilt will get to you. You need space to get your head clear oh you know you can't keep drinking to the bottom of this beer Do you recall getting to this state Whats the use of losing consciousness and speeding heart rates Please don’t drink until you can’t remember that you don’t wanna be Just another empty, useless somebody. Now I don’t lead by example, I’m fumbling blindly in the night But now I think I’m heading in the right direction so please don’t make the same mistakes that I, that I did. We need space to get our heads clear all the bottle really did was help us to deny our fears that we won’t progress anymore We will keep our heads held high and proud and face that open door I know you have to fly so please, enjoy the mountains and the breeze and take time to find your peace and clarity See the sea, breathe deep and get some well deserved, undisturbed sleep. Today the wind she blows the raindrops off the trees from storms last night and my eyes they chase the clouds now as they swirl along their flight When they part the sun comes shining, falling brightly from above Oh I might just start to feel a little love.

Today will be better and I will work hard to make sure today will be better cuz yesterday has come and past and all I can strive for, I can work to is that today, I’ll be better See how I don’t hope for the happy days and the sunny ways cuz I’m getting sick of just sitting, waiting, wishing and wasting away I’ve got my eyes on the prize and so should you cuz the goal for every single day is just to feel a little less blue Let me be honest I’m not running anymore and for the first time in 22 years, I’m not afraid, not afraid, not afraid to be alone and I don’t feel tied down anymore so I’ve got this urge to run and do every single god damn thing but I’m just getting started so its kind of strange this feeling of confined freedom I’ve got fire and I feel the burning in my chest but I could just use a rest, take a breath, baby steps now and now that its over, I’ll rise from the ashes once more. So screw whatever they’re saying cuz they don’t understand They’re all lies, they’re surprised and their lack of compromise is astounding Its time to put my words into action cuz nothing in life has ever been accomplished without passion and if you stick to your ambition all your dreams they will come to fruition Life will get better just know you’ll have to work hard and god knows you’ll go far You’ll face all your demons Keep lookin’ up, You’ll get there just in time.

about

Just in Time is an album of life experiences throughout the past few years. It is about my struggle with depression, anxiety and heartbreak and learning how to deal with the hand you are dealt.
The tracks are set up chronologically, beginning in winter of 2012.

I would take to take a moment to say thank you.
Thank you to everyone who has inspired me to create the music on this, my very first solo album, Just in Time. I’d like to thank my father, the Captain Vivares for his endless support and saying that he’d rather I join the circus over going to school for something that I wouldn’t want to do. My sister, Heather for always pushing me to do great things, sending me stupid videos and while somehow still being productive and brilliant. My mother Fiona for making sure that I’ve got my life in order. Julian Decorte for letting me play The Last of Us while he did all the work. Alex Moscall for making me feel not even remotely awkward in front of the lense. My TABB family for turning me into the musician that I am today and for always letting me make the worst jokes humanly possible. Thank you for the fun, puns and good music Alex H, Sarah, Kyle, Jonathan, Meagan, Steven, Justin, Jacob, Peter, Michael and so many others. My K-Hole family/the sorority for keeping me sane at work and home. Thank you for making me laugh, Jay, Big Country, Lindsey, Lauren, Jesse and of course, my rock, Julia.
