2008

It's a, a strange thing
Just a miracle dream
To be at peace with a fling
What if I'm more than crushes?
And moved past more than just lust
To feel it deep inside
Crying out to my trust
It's indescribably pushin' it
My mind is uncertainty
Beside I want a love that's all certain
Beyond a doubt I want to shout it out
I will shout it out to the world
To find a woman with certainty
Being my whole life earnin'
But, my baby, what's burnin'?
Discernin' it comes from the heart
That the mind of the eyes
A dark curtain containin'
Capable collisions of hearts

Here we go (Here we go)
You and I (You and I)
I am me (I am me)
And you are mine (You are mine)
I'mma sing it out (Sing it out)
I play it loud
At the curtain call
Baby, take a bow, whoa
Who knew what (Who knew what)
We all want (We all want)
Is just a simple situation? (Just a simple situation)
I'mma follow my heart (I will follow)
It's led me well (It has led me)
Well, I'm here with you, today

When I first met you, (ooh)
I was so short of breath
I stared like a child who (ooh)
Who was faking as deaf
You smiled and I laughed (ooh)
And you asked me some questions
But baby, all I kept thinkin'
Was taking first kissin' lessons (first kissin' lessons)
Blessings seem to be pourin' (ah)
From right at the start
You searched deep down inside and know to follow your heart (ah)
I followed this path (ah)
It's leading to you
I've arrived at the 'X', baby, tell me what to do (tell me what to do)

Here we go (Here we go)
You and I (You and I)
I am me (I am me)
And you are mine (You are mine)
I'mma sing it out (Sing it out)
I play it loud
At the curtain call
Baby, take a bow, whoa
Who knew what (Who knew what)
We all want (We all want)
Is just a simple situation? (Just a simple situation)
I'mma follow my heart (I will follow)
It's led me well (It has led me)
Well, I'm here with you, today

What does it mean to be a perfect match? (ooh)
I love, I love to be so far from perfect
What does it mean to be a perfect catch? (ooh)
I love, I love, I love to love you lady; never, ever leave me
Believe me (ooh)
I can see we'll be the small seed that grows into the stars
(Ooh) It's a capable collision of hearts, yeah

Here we go (Here we go)
You and I (You and I)
I am me (I am me)
And you are mine (You are mine)
I'mma sing it out (Sing it out)
I play it loud
At the curtain call
Baby, take a bow, whoa
Who knew what (Who knew what)
We all want (We all want)
Is just a simple situation? (Just a simple situation)
I'mma follow my heart (I will follow)
It's led me well (It has led me)
Well, I'm here with you, today

Sunny day, lots of things to do
Like asking mom to fix my zipper

Sunny day, sky is awfully blue
Got to do some things before supper

Like squashing spiders in the backyard
Between two heavy bricks
You can drown ants in your spit
You've got to be real quick because they're fast

Funny day, think I'll take a walk
Maybe go next door and beat up Jeffrey

Funny day, went and bought some chalk
If you get two packs, you get one free

So I think I'll draw King Kong on the black tile
Or I'll do a naked lady

I get practice 'cause I'm peeking on my sister
She screams a lot

Funny day, doesn't look like rain
I wish it did my marijuana plants in water

Sunny day, everything's the same
Think I'll sell my knife for a quarter

And buy some baseball cards

And save the gum
And pray not to get Joe Pepitone
'Cause I've got him in a million triplicates
If I get him one more time, I think I'll die

Happy, when I'm a stranger
Happy, when I'm in danger
Happy, when there's no reason
Happy, when someone's weeping
Happy, terrific crisis
Happy, in seven sizes
Happy, I do it my way
Happy

You can smile
You can pray
You can tell your dirty slapstick
It's your mistake
It's your mistake
You can smile
You can pray
You can tell your dirty slapstick
It's your mistake

Happy, your misbehavior
Happy, mean persuader
Happy, no destination
Happy

You can smile
You can pray
You can tell your dirty slapstick
It's your mistake
It's your mistake
You can smile
You can pray
You can tell your dirty slapstick
It's your mistake

You can smile
You can pray
You can tell your dirty slapstick
It's your mistake
It's your mistake
You can smile
You can pray
You can tell your dirty slapstick
It's your mistake
