Sunshine State

The sun did not come up in the east this morning, but instead it arose in the west. Life, it’s backwards.
And it’s not that I don't know that the distance between us is too great for us to surpass it.
It’s not the time of day that makes me feel this way, or how the sun hits your face as you step out into it.
And it’s not that I don't know that the distance between us is too great for us to surpass it.
I want a relationship. Someone to hold to kiss. Don’t go. Stay with me. Lay down beside me.
It’s not the time of day that makes me feel this way, or how the sun hits your face as you step out into it.

Pro Choice

Should I have this beard a week or two, or should I shave it off for something new to do? My shirts have holes, and my jeans are ripped. Should I wear them out or go get something new?
And it’s up to me, and I choose. Oh, I'll choose for something new. I'll choose for something new. I will.
My shoes can't last through all this wear and tear. They get broken down, and I always need a new pair. My car makes all sorts of noises and sounds. Should I take it in, or should I let it break down?
And it’s up to me, and I choose. Oh, I'll choose for something new. I'll choose for something new. I will. And I'll choose for something new. I'll choose for something new. I choose.

You are touching my arm, and I am listening. Your body’s talking.
But I don't know you, and you don't know me. What’s the difference? Maybe that’s what you think.
I don't know you, and you don’t know me. What’s the difference? Your body’s saying that’s what you think. Oh, I don't know what to think.
Cause your mouth is moving, and my heart is pumping. We'll talk for hours.
And I don't know you, and you don't know me. What’s the difference? Well, maybe that’s what you think. But I don't know you, and you don't know me. And what’s the difference? Your body’s saying that’s what you think. And our bodies are talking. Your body’s saying that’s what you think.

Atlas
04:00

I am a simple man. I don't know what to say. I never did anyway.
I got a heavy weight, monumental gravity, hanging on my shoulders and back.
Baby, I’m atlas and you are the earth. I feel the weight of the world.
I am the one. I need to make a decision. I am the one. I need to make a decision.
I am a simple man. I don't know what to do. I’m losing strength. I’m falling down.
What happens when you put your whole heart into it and then find out it doesn't fit.
Baby I’m atlas and you are the earth. I feel the weight of the world.
I am the one. I need to make a decision. I am the one. I need to make a decision.
You're not the one.

You take what’s bad out of the trash. You say it’s still good cause you cut out the crap.
But oh, that’s why I love you. Oh that’s why I love you. I love you, Connie Lou.
You go to bed at eight PM. You burned the food cause you were playing clarinet.
Oh that’s why I love you. Oh that’s why I love you Connie Lou.
You speak words of wisdom that effect my heart. You are a good mother, but that’s just the start of why I love you.
Oh, that’s why I love you Connie Lou. That’s why I love you. I love you Connie Lou.

Keeping the date to meet you at eight. Keeping the date to see that face.
How could I ever forget?
Keeping the date to send you something sweet, one lily in a bouquet.
It’s our anniversary today. How could I ever forget? It’s our anniversary today.

Oh, I am waking up to the sun, and you are waking up across the land. Oh, I am thinking about you, and you are thinking of me too.
What does all of this mean? Is there hope? I think there is. I know that there is. And if there is not then what do we have?
Oh, I am waking up to tall grass. The blades are reaching up for the sun. Oh, I will come and mow it down for you. Oh, I would do anything for you.
I’d mow the grass for you, but all you do is cut me down, chew and spit me out. Is there hope? I think there is.
Oh, I am waking up. Oh, I awake to the sun. Oh, I am waking up. Oh, I wake up to hope.

Sweet Voice

Sometimes things, they don't really go the way you planned them to go. So only time can really tell, and so I'm waiting to hear your sweet voice.
Tell me that things did go right and everything is fine. So, let’s keep this inside. And I thought it was lost, but it’s fine.
I hear your sweet voice, your sweet voice. And I hear your sweet voice. Oh, yes I do. Yes I do. And I do. I hear, I hear, I hear, I hear your sweet voice.

If the days in a month started from zero then we'd have 32 days in nearly every month.
And what would we do with that time? I suppose something new. Maybe we'd find that girl who'd make us happy.
Three hundred seventy seven days in every year. And if we had just one more then you could get some rest. And I'll look at your face while you're sleeping. I'll press my lips on your cheek as it raises smiling. And I'll look at your face while you're sleeping. I press my lips on your lips, and they raise up smiling.

Push
05:20

I'm so sick of asking. I slowed down at trying. A one on one would feel good right now. But I need some sleep, a chance to close my eyes. Cause beat’s beat, so stop asking.
Cause if you ask we'll make out, and I'll push right through and do what I want with you.
So, once we wake up I’ll tell you sweet nothings. And kiss you just right. And hold you so tight.
And we'll go one on one. We'll go one on one tonight. And we'll go one on one. And I'll tell you that you look nice.
Cause if you ask we'll make out, and I'll push right through and do what I want with you.

Come On

So, I wanted to kiss you on the lips. You looked better than you ever did,
and you still laugh the same way. You still are so full of life.
Then our mouths they met in the dark, and you're soft and warm. It’s better than I'd have thought.
And you still laugh the same way. And you still are so full of life.
It’s been two years. How am I supposed to react? So, come and kiss me on the lips.
You make my thoughts the loudest. You make my thoughts the loudest. So, I wanted to kiss you.
