Oh No

Oh no
Oh no
It’s time to start the show

Who knows
Who knows
Where it’s gonna go?

Oh no
Oh no
It’s time to start the show

Intro to Human Psychology

Today
We’ll take the world apart
See why we are the way we are
Today
We’ll take the world apart
From Plato to Descartes
We’ve come so far

So they say
We’re in the golden age
Of modern miracles
We can cure the common cold
So why the hell
Do we have heart attacks at twelve
Stress and ulcers daily?
I’m just complaining
About why…

We wake up in space
With darkness on our faces
And everyone we love
Is living ninety-three million miles away
And why are we okay with that?

Why do we say
We’re happy when we’re sad?
We want what we don’t have
Why do we say
Tomorrow we will change
We will tomorrow our lives away
And that’s not okay
That’s why…

We wake up in space
With darkness on our faces
And everyone we love
Is living ninety-three million miles away
And why are we okay with that?

So we panic
Over every yellow light
Every calorie’s a fight
Yeah we panic
Because no one has the answer
And we’re all dying of cancer

Let’s take a chance
Grab my hand
let’s go outside and dance

Happiness

Left today on a greyhound train
Try not to blame me for running away
Needed to leave had to get out of town
Had to make my way
With both feet on the ground

Happiness was the old silk dress
You wore to your senior prom
Your mom and dad made it
A special occasion
Taking your picture out on the front lawn

Now I confess that my life’s still a mess
I am half the world away
But I’m sad just the same
Paradise is not in a postcard
Or a picture frame
It’s as close as me speaking your name

Something That She Saw

Lately I’ve been getting tired at ten
But then I think of you and I’m awake again
I guess I’d better take my vitamins
‘cause I won’t be sleeping much tonight

Lately everything I start to do
Turns to sitting here thinking back at you
I know it’s only been a day or two
But I can still smell your hair

She wears me like a cotton shield
I begin to feel responsible
Who knows how deep it goes
How deep it goes
Where did it come from?

It’s something that she saw in me

I know it’s only been a couple days
Let me rephrase, a couple of single days
And I don’t even want to leave my room
Unless it’s to see your face

And even if I only see you one more time
And never touch your heart
Baby, you touched mine
My heart’s still beating funny ever since

I begin to doubt myself again
How did I ever smuggle in my dirty hands
Against her contrabanded skin?
I’ll walk her home
Leave her alone
And that’ll be the end
But she invites me in

She wears me like a cotton shield
I begin to feel responsible
Who knows how deep it goes
How deep it goes
Where did it come from?

It’s something that she saw in me

Can I Kiss You?

From the first time that I saw you
Standing there looking back at me too
I knew that you’d be mine
The two of us entwined
The stars aligned for us
The oceans parted
As we started on our way

Nothing can compare
To the beauty that you wear
You smile so beautifully
With eyes of honesty

No words can express
My state of happiness
Just being next to you

We were sitting under the stars
Realized that the world was ours
And I knew that you’d be mine
I knew that you’d be mine

Can I kiss you?
And so I do

I Am Asking

I am asking you
To make a change or two
I’ll come into your days
And I will help you mend your ways

Let me get this straight
You’ll help me behave
Control the things I crave
And save me?

Oh it’s alright with me
If you want to save me
It’s oh, it’s alright with me
It’s oh, it’s alright with me

Giving up the ghost
Is more than letting go
Of all things that you want most
Just so you will get them back a hundred fold

I am brokenhearted
I feel I’ve felt this way
Since the day we started
If you’ve been broken too
Then there’s a place for me and you

It’s alright with me
If you want to save me
It’s oh, it’s alright with me
It’s oh, it’s alright with me

Kill off your old life
Not with a gun or with a knife
But give up your insides
And find that yesterday you died
But now you’re alive

So I invite you in
You know the walls and halls
That I’ve been hiding in
You know my pursuit
For something long-lasting and true
I am asking you

Hey Wanna Argue

And before you go out my door tonight
I’ve got an idea I think
That you’ll think is bright

Hey wanna argue?
Hey wanna argue?

It doesn’t matter anything will do
Anything just to spend the evening with you
Hey want to argue with me?

Hey you’re my friend
Oh my love don’t say
That this is the end

Hey I want you to stay with me
We’ll just drink alcohol
Make love and watch TV

I know that this might not
Sound like much fun
But it’s all I’ve know
It’s the only thing we’ve ever done
So want to argue with me?

Oh my love I finally see
That you and me
Will not be free
Until the day
That we are living
Independently

But hey you’re my friend
Hey you’re my friend
Hey you’re my friend always
And oh I love you

Jasmine

I can’t promise you forever
But I can promise you today
And if my soul should ever weaken
Surely your love will light my way

I’m not capable of everything
But when I’m with you I’m like a king
And you’re my queen
Show me what it means to love

I can’t offer you eternity
But I am offering tonight
Let us dance and sing
Experience everything
And then you turn out the light

Lying next to you I dream of you
And wake up to see lying next to me
The girl who means the world to me
My everything

Though my words cannot do justice
To the beauty that you are
How do I say you’re ten times beautiful
With only words and a guitar?

I’m not capable of everything
But when I’m with you I’m like a king
And you’re my queen
show me what it means to love

Lying next to you I dream of you
And wake up to see lying next to me
The girl who means the world to me
My everything

Sad and Happiness

Don’t you know?
Everything’s gonna go
Alright

Don’t you hold
Everything inside
Don’t hide

Don’t you see?
Everything’s gonna be
Alright

Don’t be scared
Don’t you cry
Tonight

Everything’s gonna change
Sometimes summer sometimes rain
Everything’s gonna change
Sad and happiness and back to pain

God knows your name

Everything you see
Will pass away like leaves
But you will always grow
Feel the flow

Sing a song for me
Even if all you know
Is Canon in D

And when you say
Exactly what you do not mean
Then you cover your eyes
Turn away giggling
I won’t run away
I won’t say I have to go
‘Cause I know
I know
I know

And it might seem
Like there’s something I’m saving
A reason I’m waiting
A sign left to see
I’m not gonna say
I will just let it show
But you’ll know
You’ll know
You’ll know

Softly, slowly
I’m exploding, oh
Once, twice
Wouldn’t it be nice
If we both fell in love at the same time?

And you might say to me
That you have to go home
Daddy doesn’t want his middle girl
Out on her own
But you will be with me
Oh yeah you will be safe
If there’s a way
Let me know
Let’s go

Softly, slowly
I’m exploding, oh
Once, twice
Wouldn’t it be nice
If we both fell in love at the same time

You bring the flowers
And I’ll bring the songs
We’ll pack up a picnic
And leave before dawn

My door is open
I’ve been hoping
That you’re gonna show
I’ve been living on my own
For so long I know
I know

I’ve been living lost, oh
I’ve been living lost I know
Come now if you please

Somehow
Won’t you come now unto me?
I don’t need to know how
Or see you show how you do these things
This is an open invitation
To work your mystery
If it’s your pleasure please
Come now unto me

So I ask if happiness
Is a place I’m moving towards
Or if a lifetime of loneliness
Will be it’s own reward
I’ve got to know

You know I don’t care what you do
Just so I know that it’s from you
And I don’t care where you lead me to
Just so I know I’ll be with you
I’ve got to know

I’ve been living lost, oh
I’ve been living lost and alone
So come now if you please
