Lyrics:

One, two
Yup
 
When it’s the end of the weekend
But not quite the end of the weekend
Check it out
It is what it is
You got me feelin’
 
You make me feel like I’m in all my best clothes
So good that I don’t care that Chick-Fil-A’s closed
Like a slow motion cruise on the backroads and byways
Windows down and avoidin’ the highways
 
Nothin’ else that I wanna do
But take all day and waste it with you
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay
 
Wo-ooh
 
You got me feelin’ like the weekend
You give me somethin’ to believe in
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Sky is baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
And maybe we should make some breakfast
We got lots of time that seems like a good investment
It’s the end of the week and I make a mean quiche
Maybe all of our friends should come over to eat
 
Nothin’ else that I wanna do
But take all of my time and waste it with you
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay
 
Wo-ooh
 
You got me feelin’ like the weekend
You give me somethin’ to believe in
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Sky is baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
 
You got me feelin’ like Chick-Fil-A was open on a Sunday
(Snoop, I know, we tried, it was closed, wouldn’t that be great)
Check it out
This a hit
You can tell radio
All the DJs will play it
Cause we got that hustle, that flow
I’m feelin’ good
Feelin’ fresh
Feelin’ blessed
Little stressed
 
And when I’m with you I feel that joy inside my chest
 
What you feel
Just depends on what you see
But just don’t take it from me
I’m just the D O double G
 
You got me feelin’ like a Sunday (Ohh)
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise (singing praise)
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay
 
Wo-ooh
 
You got me feelin’ like the weekend (got me feelin’ like the weekend)
You give me somethin’ to believe in (give me somethin’ to believe in)
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Skies are baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
Sunday
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
Skies are blue and the clouds have gone away
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday

Sunday (feat. Snoop Dogg)

Gone, Gone, Gone

Home (Phillip's Version)

Sometime before now, I was in the studio with a friend of mine who also writes songs for a living. As often happens when songwriters hang out, we were trading tunes. He would play one on the guitar, then I would play one. Back and forth…back and forth into the LA night. Eventually I played a song and my buddy asked me, “What inspired you to write that?” I told him it was the story of a relationship I used to have, mixed up with some things I’d just plain imagined. He looked in my eyes deeply, and in a tone that made the words seem of more than ordinary significance, he said, 

“Why don’t you just tell the truth?” 

That night I started this project. 

I Took a Pill in Ibiza, Buried in Detroit, Be As You Are, and Not That Simple are four songs selected from my upcoming album. They are best listened to the way they were written: at night, and alone. I hope you enjoy.

At Night, Alone.

Be As You Are

Forever Stay High

[piano]

[Verse]
Someone I knew once
alone in my mind
whispers so softly
to leave it behind

Someone I knew once
alone in my mind
whispers so softly
to leave it behind

[guitar]

[Verse]
The beat it grows louder
Her words fill my thoughts
it pounds in my ears
They swim in my tears
Her message comes through
It's now very clear

She tells me so sweetly
there’s nothing to fear
I try not to listen
but now she's too near

[chorus]
Walking slow, slow
never finding the way
Slow, slow
she knows I can't stay

[instrumental interlude]

[Verse]
Brothers and sisters
stare at me with sad eyes
They sing and they laugh
while expecting to fly

When I think about trying to
tell them my name
I know they won’t listen
they don’t want the pain

I have nothing to give them
what I once had is gone
I don't want to forgive them
I am fine all alone

[chorus]
Walking slow, slow
never finding the way
Slow, slow
she knows I can't stay

I can't stay
I can't stay
I can't stay
I can't stay

I can't stay

I can't stay

[instrumental interlude]

[Verse]
I wish I was someone
who knew what to do
I wish that your words
had for once not been true

I wish I was stronger
and willing to try
I wish I was younger
and ready to die

I wish I could float
and get lost in the sky
I’d drift with the wind
and forever stay high

Forever stay high
Forever stay high
Forever stay high


[instrumental interlude]


Come on Get Higher
