Jason Mraz

A Beautiful Mess

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shouted cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt oh dear
Cause here we are, Here we are
Here we are [x7]
We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

Through timeless words, and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds, out of this earth
And times they turn, and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it.

Absolutely Zero


You. You were a friend. You were a friend of mine I let you spend the night

You see how it was my fault. Of course it was mine.

I'm too hard at work. Have you ever heard of anything so absurd ever in your life.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Who am I to say this situation isn't great? It's my job to make the most of it

Of course I didn't know that it would happen to me. Not that easy.

Hey what's that you say? You're not blaming me for anything that's great

But I don't break that easy. Does it fade away?

So that's why I'm apologizing now for telling you I thought that we could make it

I just don't get enough to believe that we've both changed.

Who am I to say this situation isn't great? It's my time to make the most of it

How could I ever know that this would happen to me, not that easy, no

All along the fault is up for grabs why don't you have it

Well it's for sale go make your offer, I'll sell it for no less than what I bought it for

Pay no more than absolutely zero.

Well neither one of us deserves the blame because opportunities moved us away

And it's not an easy thing to learn to play a game that's made for two that's you and me

The rules remain a mystery. See it can be easy.

Who am I to say this situation isn't great? It's our time to make the most of it

How could we ever know that this would happen to me, not that easy, no

All along the fault is up for grabs and there you have it

Well it's for sale go make your offer, I'll sell it for no less than what I bought it for

Pay no more than absolutely zero.

After an Afternoon


I bare my windowed self untamed and untrained

Dreams that hardly touch our complexions truest faults

If room enough for both my drowsy spirit shall fall

Bold waves tumble to the season of my heart

Where you have offended my faith and my trust

Until all is lost into the beauty of the day

But there's something in the way you laugh

That makes me feel like a child

Aspects of life they confuse me

You and your thesis amuse me

After and afternoon with you

And your rich brown eyes

Your lips and dark hair

Elbows and exposed knees tossing toward the ceiling

After an afternoon

Face to palm

Tear to tear

Mouth to tongue

Heart to ground

I am in love

All That Lies


Don't get me wrong cause I don't want to know what the truth is

I believe that I'd be here with or without it

All that lies around put me where I am, where I stand

Tell me can you hear all the pretty sounds to hear

Tell me can you see all that lies around

Do you want to ride down the hill on my back?

On my back lying down on the job

Nobody slacking over here

Tell me can you look around, look around, look around

Everything is falling, falling down

Take your key and lock me up

Anything you wanna know, anything at all I'm gonna tell you

Anything you want to know.

And I know far away, far away, far away, far away lies a man, lies a man

Doing what he can far away, far away

Doing what he likes for a man far away

Far away he lies awake and says what he's doing

He do the best that he can.

At Last


So thank you guys so much for comin' around, stickin' around.
Some of you who came to both shows, that's really cool.
Well you see at last
My love well she's come along
And my lonely days well they're finally over
And my life is like a song
At la-ya-ya-ya-ya-yast, at la-a-a-a-ast, oh at last, at last, oh
Oh, this night above, well it looks like all of you
But you know, my heart is always wrapped up in Toca
(audience laughing)
(Jason : Ha ha)
Oh, the way he plays the fool-oo-oo
Well well - do do do do do
Oh, did you bring your french horn tonight with you Mr. T
(yeah I brought the french horn)
French me with your horny, horny, horny, horny, horn
Woah-ooo-ooo
Wah-ah ah
Woah-ooo-ooo
Wah
You know he plays the low notes, but he sings the high notes.
Again this is Mr. Ian Sheridan our friend.
You know what that sounds like?
Sounds like - love, (laughing) life's sweetest reward
It's an open sword
(Toca: sword ?)
Hey love, exciting and new (laughing)
Come aboard, we're expecting you
On the loooove boat (applause)
Soon we'll be making another run
On the loooove boat oh-oh-oh
I'm lookin' to dock my boat - oh
(one, two)

Ballad Of Flo'Z Kid


Well I'm sittin at the crowded bar
To get a little glimpse of your face
Your profile and your hip style
Your definition
Somethin i don't know all about
So confident in your own space

As you move to look at me
I lose, cause i look away
Cause you could never, ever
Be just plain old lookin at me
So i turn to confirm
That your smile is the same

I can't believe you're lookin at me
I don't dare
To turn around to see
I just have to imagine the you're
Only lookin through me
And suddenly you're
Right here with me

Cause you are this moment yeah
One minute of one hour of one night
You might be the center
Fresh face for my fantasy

You play the perfect part of
Someone who's a part of me
You'd help repeating
The haunting of heart
So perfectly

I can't believe
You're lookin at me, lookin at me
I don't dare to turn around to see
I have to imagine that you're
Only lookin through me
Then suddenly
You're right here with me

Said you're right on
Said you're right on
Said you're right on
Oh i'll go home and cry
Oh i saw heaven
Oh i've seen so many tragedies
Oh lord i'm feeling
Oh lord i said it's real and
Oh i say i'm feelin alright

(scatting)

Bella Luna


mystery the moon
a hole in the sky
a supernatural nightlight
so full but often right
a pair of eyes a closin' one
a chosen child of golden sun
a marble dog that chases cars
to farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars

a cosmic fish they love to kiss
they're giving birth to constellation
no riffs and oh no reservation
if they should fall you get a wish or dedication
may I suggest you get the best
for nothing less than you and i
let's take a chance as this romance is rising over before we lose the lighting
oh bella bella please
bella you beautiful luna
oh bella do you do
do do do do do

you are an illuminated anchor
of leads to infinite number
crashing waves and breaking thunder
tiding the evenflows of hunger
you're dancing naked there for me
you expose all memory
you make the most of boundary
you're the ghost of royalty imposing love
you are the queen and king combining everything
into twining like a ring around the finger of a girl
i'm just a singer, you're the world
all I can bring ya
is the language of a lover
bella luna, my balloona
how you swoon me like no other

may I suggest you get the best
of your wish may I insist
that no contest for little you or smaller i
a larger chance happened, all them they lie
on the rise, on the brink of our lives
bella please
bella you beautiful luna
oh bella do you do
bella luna, my fortuna
how you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh
oh mystery the moon

Better


It's something like i apologize
It's something i still can't decide
But i know it gets better
It only gets better

And i want to say that it's not always easy
But it's simple that way
And i want to stay and play it out
But i still have my doubts
So you say it gets better
It only gets better
Better this way
Better, maybe it's better this way

Beautiful things they never stay, oh, the same way
They pass, oh they pass away, they always change
Who are we is who we are
When the act of love can get us so far
So good i wish you would
Think twice on me
'cause it only gets better

It only gets better
Better this way
Better, maybe it's better this way
Just give it some time
Just give it some space
Just give it some time, maybe it's better this way
Just give it some time
Just give it some space
Just give it some time, maybe it's better this way

So better
It's better this way
Baby, it's better this way
Just give it some time
Just give it some space
Maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe, yes maybe
It's better, oh, this way
Promise me you'll always be better
Better

Bright Eyes


Bright lights, big city

Was quite extraordinary.

The drive was pretty.

I was in perfect company.

The love of a lifetime,

Since we were elementary friends;

The one with the bright eyes...

Why can't I be optimistic?

I tried to find the logic logically.

I had a dream and I could not shake it.

I was standing up there naked.

There's fear in the truth at hand, frozen I forgot to understand

The live keep living; growing older more into a man...

And I let her grow away from me.

Love... love is not pretending.

Time... time was meant for mending

Memories into all is satisfactory,

Healthy smiles fill the page the day we spent in miles.

And I let her drive away from me.

The one with the bright eyes

Laughed her way inside this music box;

Stored away in the corner of my heart. And I let her get away from me.

But I'll never take that day away from me.

Burning Bridges


I know exactly how you feel
You were this close to closing deals
When everything fell from out your hands
You were forced to decide on other plans now
You figured it best to just ignore it
Otherwise you're only living for it
And if anyone ever wondered why you did it
You'd swear they never knew you sold your soul to the
Burning, burning, burning, burning bridges

You know exactly what I want so
I don't have to be so damn upfront
No matter the moment we decide to make our minds up
I know a man who may need a new assignment
To hand in his heart and take his last vacation
Attempting to spoil imagination
If anyone ever wonders where he went
I wouldn't say that he spent his time driving over
Burning, burning, burning bridges

Burning, burning which is
Nothing more than a longing for being uninvolved
Uninvolved
Uninvolved
Uninvolved

Oh, desire can cause heart attacks
Oh, desire can cause heart attacks
Oh, desire can cause heart attacks
Oh, desire, it won't bring you back

Butterfly


I'm taking a moment just imaginin' that I'm dancin' with you
I'm your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on until I write a song about you
And you have your own engaging style
And you've got the knack to vivify
And you make my slacks a little tight, you may unfasten them if you like
That's if you crash and spend the night

But you don't fold, you don't fade
You've got everything you need, especially me
Sister you've got it all
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all

Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
Because they're the perfect jumping off point of getting closer to your

Butterfly
Well you float on by
Oh kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
And let's mood the lights and finally make it right
But you don't fold, you don't fade, you've got everything you need
Especially me
Sister you've got it all

You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk sister you've got it all
You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all [2x]

You've got it all, you've got it all

Doll I need to see you pull your knee socks up
Let me feel you upside down, slide in, slide out, slide over here
Climb into my mouth now child

Butterfly, well you landed on my mind
Dammit you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside
And now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes
I wanna fly with you and I don't wanna lie to you
Cause I, cause I can't recall a better day
Sun coming to shine on the occasion

You're an open-minded lady
You've got it all
And I never forget a face
If I'm making my own
I have my days
Let's face the fact here, it's you who's got it all

You know that fortune favors the brave
Well let me get paid while I make you breakfast
The rest is up to you, you make the call

You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all

I can't recall a better day
Sun comin' to shine on the occasion
You're a sophisticated lady, oh

You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all [3x]
You've got it all, you've got it all.

You've got it all
You've got it all
You gotsta gotsta gotsta got it all

Butterfly, baby, well you've got it all

Childlike Wildlife


Well I guess I'll treat her right, I guess I'll treat her right more this time.

I'll try not to rely, try not to rely on the perfect line and I see no boundaries.

Except for the ones I'm in. and I don't expect you to overcome them for that's my job description.

In a world of players and private eyes unless you realize this there's a whole lot you could miss.

Do you know which one I am? I am the cigarette smoking man.

Once an hour I light the flower and burn baby burn.

When is it your turn? Lord tell me when the sun goes down.

Cause I feel much better then anyway. Well I see much much better then anyway.

Well I feel exposed although I feel at home dressed as a black plastic rose all flowing head shoulders knees and toes. we dance, we dance, we play, we rant and rave.

Oh this childlike wildlife is flooring me. Oh this childlike wildlife is flooring me.

Early in the morning. Late in the evening. Evening, we kinda get delirious

Breaking from the seriousness I try not to get disoriented

Having chewed too many up on my side, is it any wonder how I miss your style

Is it any wonder how I write... pages layered upon pages

Which to no one else but me can be accounted for, for this moments sake

I do not become me, for path tunnels or straightaways I do not watch as often as I should, so instead I sketch my life a comfortable creature

Slow and beautifully.

Oh the smell and tastes of the past nights, well they're still locked up in my gentle jaw

Not that I am wanting them to go, just that they are... and I'm very much aware

The madness of slow motion as you move your legs to walk, I'm very much aware

Of this madness when you talk.

This childlike wildlife is flooring me, oh this childlike wildlife is flooring me.

We dance, we play, oh lord we rant and rave. We dance and we play always.

Clockwatching


Take off, both your, shoes and clothes, I'll follow.
Undo, corkscrew, drink from the top of a broken bottle.
Lately we're running out of time, aren't we?

Smoking, often, and calling out our guilty pleasures,
Let's keep, talking, anything to stop clockwatching.
Lately we're running out of time, aren't we?
Crazy for running all the time, m-m-m-m-maybe.
Let's forget we're running out of time.

I'm off like an airplane,
I'm licking your postage stamp again.
I'm using my right brain and I'm praying the weight will crash.
Who knew I'd come/cum so fast.
Well so what if a two pump chump can't last.

I finally made it to three, and I foreclose a five minute, fantasy.
I'll surely fight making love on economy/on account of me (not sure).
No jumping, conclusions,
I don't think there's no solution,
Let's get, backwards,
And forget our restless destination.

Let's live in this moment just this time, could we?
Just take one moment of our time m-m-m-m-maybe.
Let's forget we running out of time.

I'm off like an airplane,
I'm catching my second wind again.
I'm using my left brain
And I'm righting all my wrongs.
I'm yearning to turn you on.

I've been working on getting you off, so get on board.
Well how can I guess by the subject of the best predicate that's left unsaid when the matter is too delicate.
My loneliness is evident.

And its you,
You're running through my mind and it makes me c-c-crazy cra-cra-crazy.

La la la
La la la la la
La la la (ooooooo, so amazing)
La la la la la la
La la la
Laaaa oh oh
Laaaaaa lo oh oh oh

Lady, dreamer, you might be the soundest sleeper,
Tonight, sleep tight, and build your nest upon my shoulder.

Common Pleasure


I remember when we used to walk together

Used to talk together, go to the park together

In all kinds of weather we would share

This common pleasure with most of human kinds

It was a kind of treasure One that I was surely glad to find

But I got one right here and I'm okay

I'm okay, and you're okay, and we're okay

I'm alright. Everything else is alright sometimes.

Just remember those bones they get broken

And love is not a token of affection

It's not even a real thing, it's a word

So don't you try to but it out with a ring

Cause it's a verb, to love someone

Open up and let them in

just don't be afraid to set them free again

This ain't no heaven, ain't no hell , ain't no in between

Cause there's just too many faces and places in this world

That I ain't ever seen

I'm gonna keep on keeping on

I'm gonna reap on being strong

I got my head on, though misconnected

It's alright cause I do it protected

I got a day job. I drive a cheap ride

Sounds like I'm gonna fine

You only get one life to learn

There's only so many brain cells that you can burn

And life can take a turn and take away that you've earned

And leave you yearning for more, so much more

Life is gonna leave you yearning for more, more, more

Your stomach's gonna be churning

Wanting more, you're wanting, wanting some more.

You're wanting some more, more, more

Do you want some?

Well I got some right here and I'm okay

I'm okay and you're okay

Ha ha, we're okay

Everything else will be fine sometimes.

Guess what I'm doing okay.

Conversation with Myself


Crazy, now what'cha doing?

Just the same, well I think I'm right

Crazy how fast you're moving

As our friendship pays for your lonely night

This is a conversation with myself

It's okay to dance around it and have it your way

Laugh about it, oh for goodness sake

Don't believe in anything that's keeping you awake

I'm feeling all sentimental and feeling all thru my head

I'm feeling all very sexual but feeling all by myself instead

This is a conversation with myself

It's okay to dance around it and have it your way

Laugh about it, oh for goodness sake

Don't believe in anything that's keeping you awake

Loverboy, lovergirl,

You need a song to sleep to and morning to sleep thru

And have it your way.

You better have it your way with yourself.

You better have it your way anytime.

You better have it you way with yourself and only yourself

You better have it yours and baby you know that I'll have mine.

Coyotes


Sipping coffee at a quarter to two
I wake and I'm dialin' and my minds running to you
No wonder I'm a one woman man
She keeps my heart in a jar on the nightstand
I should tell her that she couldn't be more
Opposite than a foot in a door,
There's no one else I would rather go out with, that's hell when I see them standing there
Me and my mouth we don't mean to be rushin'
We talk about thee freely cuz we crushin'
I want to shake both sides of the butt, yeah
Theatrically yes ain't we lucky?

And when the coyotes they sing at the park
Till the city lights starts falling for the sea
Windin' rodes are winding down and the flyin men'll hit the ground
Every notion is closer to touching the coyotes sing when they call on your lovin'.

We're coming back for more,
You know why, we're coming for you
You know we should be, we should be together
Once we rock, we won't wanna stop
Not today or tomorrow.
You better lock your doors
You know why, cause we want you
Cause we like you a lot

I wish the world was alive like you.
I wish the wind would blow me through
Another opportunity to approach you
Another telepathic rendezvous
I wish you well with your weapon of jargon
You've got a double-sided lexicon
I got to try to keep your attention
Gotta write using less emoticons
Gotta figure out the snooze alarm
I wanna lay in your place till dawn
I wanna play in the park, come on
Now let me see your other upper echelon

And when the coyotes escape to new york
Then the city life has crumbled to the sea
And the girls will fall to the lost and found
The flying men'll hit the ground
Every notion is closer to touching the coyotes sing when they feast on your lovin'.
I'm a coyote and I got a taste for your lovin'.

Comin back for more,
You know why, we're coming for you
You know we should be, we should be together,
Because once we rock, we won't want to stop
Not today or tomorrow

Curbside Prophet


I'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I'm waiting for my rocket to come
I'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I'm waiting for my rocket y'all

You see it started way back in NYC
When I stole my first rhyme from the M-I-C
At a west end avenue at 63
It's the beginning of a leap year February '96
win a guitar picked it up in the mix
I committed to the licks a like a nickel bag of tricks
Well Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now, now, now, now

I'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I'm waiting for my rocket to come
I'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I'm waiting for my rocket y'all

Well then you're never gonna guess
where I been been been
And I have no regrets that I bet my whole checking account
Because it all amounts to nothing up in the end
Well you can only count that "On The Road Again"
Will soon be on my radio dial
And I been paying close attention to the Willie Nelson style
Like a band of gypsies on the highway wild
I'm a one-man mission on the California skyline
Drive up the coast and I brag and I boast
because I'm picking up my pace, I'm makin' time like Space Ghost
Raising a toast to the highway patrol at the most
But my cruise control's on coast
Cause I'm tourin' around the nation on extended vacation
See I got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitations
I say, "I like your style crazy pound pup!
You need a ride? well come on girl hop in the truck"

With the curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I'm waiting for my rocket to come
I'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I'm waiting for my rocket y'all
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come on
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket y'all

See I'm a down-home brother red-neck undercover
With my guitar here I'm ready to play
And I'm a sucker for philly got a natural ability
geared to freestyle look at my flexibility
Dangerous on the MIC
My ghetto hat's cocked right
All the ladies say,
"Yo, that kid is CRAZY!"
We got the backstage Betties takin' more than they can get
They say, "whats up with M-R-A-Z?"

Hey hey hey! Somethin's different in my world today
Well they changed my traffic signs to a brighter yellow(repeat)

I'm just a Curbside Prophet love, (Repeat 5x)
And I'm waitin'for my rocket I said a waitin' for my rocket to come now *Fading out* curbside..come now brother.....

Dead End


Well easily with me I show affection,
But it's a creepin up, a creepin up on me in another direction

I love, I write, and I die
And I try to ask no questions,
But the weary one is still me,
Do you think it's obsession?

The smoke will find you a choker that matches your coat, not fit to be tied
The mirror it makes it all clearer as you stand alone and can't see your behind
Yea
They tried to tell me I could say that nobody could believe this
Well they tried to tell me I could say nobody could achieve this
The way you stayed of, locked away of
Keeping the flame for yourself,
The way you stayed of, pushin the blame of, reaping the fame for yourself

Oh well, it's a, it's a, dead end
It's a dead end
Oh, it's a dead end lonely day,
Say it's a dead end
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a dead end day
It's a dead end oh day
And it's a long way, a long way down,
Hey well it's a long way, a long way down

Change is coming a baby,
Don't be startled lady
Every once in a while they do it again
You gonna shake it, shake it,
You know you wanna take it
Back to where you once belonged,
Back beneath the sheets and between the pillow cases
And the snake he races out and he, he tangles into your hair
Funny the fruits you choose
Oh the time you take, the words you loose
And it all goes back to rotation over the back of your hand
Oh the back of your hand, oh the back of your hand
Oh the map is your hand,
It's the back of your hand, the back of your hand
Say the back of your hand, oh the map is your hand, it's the back of your hand

Stop whining all the time,
Don't you find a little secret to yourself always saved your life,
Stop listening to the words that you've heard
No one else but yourself will agree with you more
That it's a long, long way
It's a long, long way
And it's a long, long way, a long way down
Hey, and it's a long way down,
And it's a lo- oh- oh- ng way down
Hey, hey, hey, and it's a long, long, long, long way down,
Say say, SCATS
And it's a lo- oh- oh- ng way down, hey and it's a long way dooooown
It's a dead end
It's a dead end oh
It's a dead end lonely day
It's a, it's a dead end
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a dead end day
It's a dead end oh day

Dear Anna


Did the roses never open,
Are you left to start again?
And not a single tear should fall into the water,
That you kept them in.

Dear Anna,
I am the only one,
Who will love you until the end,
Oh Anna,
Open your heart again,
And warm me by the fire within.

How are you going to face the autumn,
With the pain you only friend?
Just remember that; Before you know the winter,
You'll know love again

Dear Anna,
I am the only one,
Who will love you until the end,
Oh Anna,
Open your heart again,
And warm me by the fire within.

I stand forewarned,
Love will change,
Even the best of friends,
And nothing wrong with starting over,
Go on and have yourself a cry,
I just wanna be the man with arms around you,
When you dry your eyes

Dear Anna,
Well, I am the only one,
Who will love you until the end,
Oh Anna,
Open your heart again,
And warm me by the fire within.

Details In The Fabric - Jason Mraz (featuring: James Morrison)


Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads saying
Breaking yourself up

If it's a broken part, replace it
If it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your own name
And go your own way

And everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
Mmmhmm

Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I'm doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything, everything will be fine
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

Yeah everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic (Go your own way)
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine?

Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold

Did I Fool Ya?


Daddy songs he's an auctioneer

And mother clings to anniversary years

And the sister she got a little bit of mister in her

And the brothers going round around his bed

And I say, did I fool ya?

Didn't daddy fool ya?

He go once, he going twice He go for 35 or 40

He go once, he going twice He go for 45 or 50

He go once, he going twice He go 55 or maybe he will make it up to 65

He go once, he going twice ain't it nice price wise?

I gotta a nice life for the price

I give and give and I lay it all down

Look what I found I give and give

I give and give and I lay it all down

Look what I found, look what I found

Blue skies they're smiling at me

And that's my favorite melody

But I can't read I can't read

I can't read between the things unseen

And I don't mind I don't mind

I don't mind if I don't find because I tried

I'm absolutely definite absolutely positive

Absolutely definitely positive

I'm absolutely definite absolutely positive

Absolutely definitely positively representative

So why the bother with it

Did I fool ya? Or didn't daddy fool ya?

He go once, he going twice He go for 35 or 40

He go once, he going twice He go for 45 or 50

He go once, he going twice He go 55 or maybe he will make it up to 65

He go once, he going twice Ain't it nice price wise?

I gotta a nice life for the price

Did You Get My Message?


Did you get my message, the one I left
While I was trying to convince everything
That I meant in a minute or less when I called to confess
And make all of my stresses go bye-bye

Did you get my message, you did not guess
'cuz if you did you would have called me with your sweet intent
and we could give it a rest
'stead of beating my breast
making all of the pressure go sky-high

Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
Do they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
And come back together again with a whole new meaning
In a brand new sense, completely unrelated to the one I sent

Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, yeah, oooh oooh ooooh hooo

Uh oh, where did it go, must have bopped past your phone
And fallen right outta the window
TP: ooh well, how can I tell?
Shoulda called the operator maybe she know the info
But whether or not my message you got was too much or a lot to reply
TP: why not try this for a fact
Should you ever come back I'd relax and feel relieved
Before my panic attack

Ahh hooo oooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, yeah oooh oooh ooooh hooo

Did you get my message, the one that I left
While I was trying to convince everything that I meant
TP: Now the moment is passed
Not much standing the class and I'm standing to lose my mind
Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
So they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
And come back together again with a whole new meaning
In a brand new sense, and please be sympathetice to the time I spent

Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, yeah oooh oooh ooooh hooo
Did you get my message
TP: no I didn't hear a word you said
Did you get my message
TP: no I'm not gonna believe your lies anymore
Did you get my message that I want to reconnect with you
Did you get my message
TP: I can hear you say your coming but I don't hear
Why did you get the message love ?
That I want to get back with you
Did you get my message love
That I want to reconnect with you
Why did you get the message love ?
Did you get my message
TP and Mraz: That I want to reconnect with you

Dream Life of Rand Mcnally


Who is he, Mr. Rand McNally?

I had I dream that mystery was me. Now who else could I be?

I dreamed I went to England and met the spice girls there for tea

They lost one more they're down from four to my favorite number three

But they're still quite spicy as the orange flavor

And oh so nice to do me the favor and lick my icing under the table now

But I gotta leave town mr. Nally, just as scary spice was about to go down on me

And don't ask how mr. Nally and give up the towel mr. Nally and run.

I dreamed I went to Singapore got bored and robbed a liquor store

What for? Nobody knows I only took a couple of Marlboros

Oh but that was all they needed and the criminal was soon defeated

And now in jail I'm waiting for my punishment of caining

So I gotta think fast mr nally watch your ass, wake up and laugh and run

Better Mr run, mr rand, mr mac, mr nally

Mr run, mr man, you got the knack for the rally And run.

I had a chance to visit the north pole but it was way too cold to smoke

Oh my nose was freezing I should could use some coughing and wheezing

So I tried it anyway and the place went up in flames

How was I suppose to know you could catch fire to the snow

Oh lord way to go mr nally, way to go, now you're melting the poles mr nally so run.

I jumped ship in NYC and headed south to Washington DC

Didn't think I'd go there but played some shows there fancy lucky me

But it is really slow there with our new president on TV

Too many politicians and liberal Christians they're all set out for me

Singing cast your vote mr nally, castrate your vote, no you don't, just run

I thumbed a ride across the prairie, I got hitched in Vegas, yep, I got married

To a lady who loved me she thought it's be funny to gamble all my money

And I got stranded without my clothes, a little bit of fear and loathing heart attack

I got chased by the rat pack once in a flashback. Singing viva Las Vegas.

I settled down in san diego and smoked a joint with java joe

And with a grin he took me in spilling coffee on his chin

And I played my show there and I met my bros there

And with my throw pillow they kindly let me make my bed there

There's one more thing before I go there's never been any place like this home

For once in a lifetime maybe I'd be foolish not to stay

Falling All Over The World


Said I'm fallin all over the world
Said I'm fallin
This love affair,
It isn't all there but it's everywhere
Said I'm fallin all over, fallin over and over
But the blue shy, oh blue soul
And love with the tole it's taken
A true crime is the perfect role
I love every more that I take in
So much that I'd do it again, I'd do it again
Said I'm fallin all over the world
It's a breath of air, so rare
Thick as thunder
Said im fallin all over,
Every wonder so, full of wonder, so beautiful
There's magic up above
Every cliche I learn to love
But as long as these birds have wings
Then I'll have songs, and I'll have words to sing
Sing of fallin over, I'm fallin over the whole damn thing
Said im fallin all over the world
Said im fallin

Flying My Guilt Over A Quilt


Drain the veins in my head
Clean out the reds in my eyes to get by
Security lines, the x-ray machine
Pretend you don't know me so well
I wont tell if you lie
Cry 'cause your droughts been brought up
Drinkin' 'cause you're lookin so good in your Starbuck's cup
I complain for the company that I keep
The window's for sleeping
Rearrange well I'm nobody well who's laughing now?

I'm leaving your town again
And I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
And I'm up in the air, so baby, hell yea
Well honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
Well I remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn

Damn, I should be so lucky
Even only 24 hours under your touch
You know I need you so much
I, I cannot wait to call you
And tell you that I landed somewhere
And hand you a square of the airport
And walk you through the maze of the map that I'm gazing at
Gracefully unamed and feeling guilty for the luck
And the look that you gave me
You make me somebody, oh nobody knows me
Not even me can see it, yet I bet I'm

Leaving your town, again
And I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
And I'm up in the air, said baby, hell yea
Well honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn

Get me high, You'll keep me high.

Flax seeds, well they tear me open
And supposedly you could crawl right through me
Taste these, teeth please
And undress me from the sweaters
Better hurry cause I'm heating
Upward bound now,
Oh, maybe I'll build my house on your cloud
Here I'm tumbling for you
Stumbling through the work that I have to do
Don't mean to harm you

By leaving your town again
But I'm over the quilt that you've been spinning
And I'm up in the air, said baby hell yea
Well honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn
I remember where the love was found

If the plane goes down, damn
I remember where the love was found

If the plane goes down, damn, damn, damn, damn you

You get me high, you keep me high

Galaxy


Here I am I'm sitting alone again I'm staring up at the sky which at this lonely moment is my only friend suddenly as I gaze upon the night I notice the stars began to shake and dance and fall into the darkness

They exploded down. I knew what I had to do. I ran up to the top of the hill and took a hold for you

The sweetest star that fell and yes I held on to it close to the numbness in my heart

And I kissed a star. I wrapped it up inside a golden bow and I ran away just to find you.

This was your gift a star that I kissed.

The galaxy that lived inside your eyes was in need of a brand new shining light.

I wished to the dark sky up above that all I had was to be captured and willingly turned over to you.

I know you better now and at this I smile. I simply gave to you the symbol of what you are to me.

You are the star that shines and explodes with light and I love and embrace all that I can.

Take this blindness away from me and let me bask inside your golden sea.

I never ever knew such simple astronomy could ever come to me by ways of the heart.

Call me to be one of those strangely dressed wise men who follow the stars to their love

You are such a perfect star to wish upon and I love you and yes I'm hopeful

Of what this lonely night may lead me into. I'm wishing upon you now.

Free me and let me indulge in my view a most beautiful you.

A keeper of starlight...

the way I feel: I'm feeling happy finally. I've no room for sorrow and I feel lit inside.

It's something I cannot hide. Oh maybe I've never felt this way before. Not for real.

Finally I feel free.

Here I am I'm sitting alone again I'm staring up at the sky which at this lonely moment is my only friend suddenly as I gaze upon the night I notice the stars began to shake and dance looks like they wanna fight

No way they were dancing. They were romancing.

Falling in love all over.

Geek in The Pink


Well let the geek in the pink take a stab at it
If you like the way I'm thinkin' baby wink at it
I may be skinny at times but I'm fat fulla rhymes
Pass me the mic and I'm a grab at it
Isn't it delicious crazy way that I'm kissin'
Cause baby listen to this don't wanna miss it while it's hittin'
Sometimes you gotta fit in to get in
But don't ever quit cause soon I'm gonna let you in but see

I don't care what you might think about me
You can vibe without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby I could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let down
But sugar don't forget what you already know
I could be the one to turn you on
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge me by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away

I'm the geek in the pink pink pink
I'm the geek in the pink yeah

Well this relationship fodder don't mean to bother nobody
But Cupid's automatic musta fired multiple shots at her
Because she fall in love too often that's what the matter
At least I talk about it keep a pattern of flattery and
She was starin' through the doorframe
Eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend
Well she can get her toys outta the drawer then
Cause I ain't comin' home I don't need that attention, see

I don't care what you might think about me
You'll get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it sure would be the let down
But sugar don't forget what you already know
I could be the one to turn you on
You could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away

I am more than you're thinking
Hey look at me go
From hero to zero
Oh, take it from a geek like me
I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums
Who wouldn't care if you com...plete him or not

So what I've got a short attention span
A coke in my hand
Because I'd rather have the afternoon, relax and understand
My hip hop and flip-flops it don't stop with the light rock
A shot to mock you kinda puts me in the tight spot
The hype is nothing more than hoo-ha so I'm
Developing a language and I'm callin' it my own
So take a peek into the speaker and you'll see what I mean
That on the other side the grass is greener

I don't care what you might think about me
You'll get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be the let down
But sugar don't forget what you already know
I could be the one to turn you on
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away

I'm the geek in the pink pink pink
I'm the geek in the pink yeah
I'm the geek in the pink
All y'all geek is the new color for fall

God Moves Through You


You were born together
And together ye shall be forever
Until death should scatter
It wouldn't matter in the memory of God above
Let the wind of heaven dance between you too
Allow the space and time to bring you closer to everlasting love
Cause God moves
What do you do
God moves through you

When love beckons
His ways are often hard and steep
When his wings enfold
Ye yield to all he speaks
The sword it might be hidden there among his pinions
Oh you may wear a wound that truly spoke to you
Believe in all that voice and follow through
Follow so on and on

What do you do when God moves through you
What do you do
Say i do
I do

Just remember love possesses nothing
Nor would it ever be possessed
Oh love is love sufficient unto love
And you can figure out the rest

Your children will not be your children
They are the daughters and the son of a beginning
They'll come through your womb but not be coming from you
They will be with you but do not belong to you
You may give them your love but not your thoughts
Then they'll arrive with their own hearts
They're the coming of angels this blessed season
And then they'll sing oh how God rests in reason
God rests in reason

So what do you do
Ooh when God moves through you
What do you do
Say i do
I do

Think not you can direct the course of
Love itself directs the course allowed
Believe not God is in your heart, child
But rather you're in the heart of God

What do you do
Say i do
I do
I do

Think not you can direct the course of
Love itselfs directs the course allowed
Believe not God is in your heart, child
But rather you're in the heart of God

What do you do
Ooh when God moves through you
Remember God rests in reason
Say i do
I do
