Honey, suddenly I don't need anything but this breeze.
You, me, a cup of tea, feeling nice and easy, spinning like a CD 
sitting in a swing.

"Stay a while," my paradise is calling, calling.
They keep trying to pull me away. 
I'm stalling, stalling.

It always feels like you're 85 degrees West of my heart.
Use my wheels to travel around this world with you in my arms.
Finally there.

Finally there.

Visions come to me. I don't believe the lie.
Sometimes in the reasoning you lose your mind.
Even if tomorrow brings a different side.
I'm still thankful that I got to see you smile.

It always feels like you're 85 degrees West of my heart.
Use my wheels to travel around this world with you in my arms
Finally there.

My Cup Of Tea

Wake up in the morning, feeling kinda fuzzy.
Light coming through the curtains. 
It was too much light.
Mmmm I remember a very nice party.
I ate too many sandwiches.
But it was a very nice party...
Next to you.

Sunshine in your hair, falling all around me.
Whisper in your ear, so near, so dear.
I'll be lying here with your legs around me,
smiling up at you, you know I need you.

Sunshine baby, comes to take my dreams away.
Sunshine baby, I don't need my dreams today.
Sunshine baby, you will be my favorite shade.

Sunshine in your hair, falling all around me. 
Whisper in your ear, so near, so dear.
I'll be lying here with your legs around me,
smiling up at you, you know I need you.

Sunshine

Oh what could I have designed from the corners of my mind?
Twenty years has passed me by and I'm still wondering if there's 
one thing I still do right. 

Oh Trojan horse come knock on my door 'cause you know that I'll fall for it over and over. I'm not gullible, I'm just an optimist who's willing to trust.

Oh misty eyes you'll be fine. It's just a moment stuck in time.
You spent so long feeling mystified.
But stick with one thing it becomes something you will get right.

Oh Trojan horse come knock on my door 'cause you know that I'll fall for it over and over. I'm not gullible, I'm just an optimist who's willing to trust.

(HEY!)

Oh Trojan horse come knock on my door 'cause you know that I'll fall for it over and over. I'm not gullible, I'm just an optimist who's willing to...
Oh Trojan horse come knock on my door 'cause you know that I'll fall for it over and over. I'm not gullible, I'm just an optimist who's ready to trust.

The Optimist

Hey there, mom and dad. I thought I'd say thanks.
Just for keeping it all going. 
Sometimes I still go back to the place it all began, 
a small town slowly dying. 

Where's home?
Where's home?
Where's home?

Where's home?
Where's home?
Where's home?

Go there now, know what I'll find...
The remnants of my childhood memories. 
You and I are all we've got who remember how it used to be.
Now all that was is caked in rust but still exists in fading photographs.

Where's home?
Where's home?
Where's home?

Where's home?
Where's home?
Where's home?

Sometimes I still go back to the place it all began, 
a small town slowly dying. 

Where's home?
Where's home?
Where's home?

Where's home?
Where's home?
Where's home?

It's the end of November and it's starting to get pretty cold (oh woah) 
Standing in the epicenter of gravity with no control
Some bitter sweet realizations come at 31.
Well 31 Fahrenheit, suddenly I don't feel young.

I may be living but also, I'm already dying.
Amidst all the noise in the rafters I'm finding some silence.

25, 35, close my eyes. Wake me when your counting's done.
Set loose Father Time and watch me run from his gun. 
Pretty sure I lost my nerve at the door. Shut me out I'll knock some more.
Middle man raise your hand, underserved, you make less than what you're worth.

I may be living but also, I'm already dying.
Amidst all the noise in the rafters I'm finding some silence.

(Oh why do I worry so?)

I may be living but also, I'm already dying.
Amidst all the noise in the rafters I'm finding some silence.
I may be living but also, I'm already dying.
Amidst all the noise in the rafters I'm finding some silence.

Dichotomy

He lays awake, just hanging in space.
His days are filled with wasting away.
He longs for something to remind him why he's here.
He shaves his face and can't help but see the years.
He knows his shame, but knows not who to blame.
He thinks a thought so clear. "I need you to be right here!"

You were something to behold, and pumpkin, 
I was watching you from a distance as my feet grew cold.

A wave came through and it told me to be with you. 
So I played it cool because I didn't know what you would do.
And even after all these years I still need you to be right here.

You were something to behold, and pumpkin, 
I was watching you from a distance as my feet grew cold.
(Repeat)

A pretty thing
A passerby
And as it leaves 
A silver line

Believe you me, if you're looking for the
nectar in a barren meadow it is hard to find.

I am flying high over azure skies

Oh pretty things
They come and go
And as they leave
A thread of gold

It seems to me, if you can see the string 
it's all you really need to learn how to float.

I am flying high over azure skies
I am flying high over azure skies

I am flying high over azure skies
I am flying high over Azure Sky
(I'm a butterfly.)

Butterfly

It all began with collisions. Atoms bursting with sound.
Love poured into matter and brought us to where we are now. 
I know it doesn't matter what the scholars bicker about
Because I'm just glad to be here for however long I'm around. 

I'll be around. 
I'll be around.
I'll be around.
I'll be around.

Now my boy grows fond of autumn and the colors that cover the ground.
The leaves that he has been trodding all make a peculiar sound.
I know the source of his fervor may not appear profound,
But mine is the love of a father and I'm happy just to be here right now.

I'll be around.
I'll be around.
I'll be around.
I'll be around.

If you see yourself through the eyes of your mother
I think you'll find that you love yourself a little bit better.
As my time shrivels and expires, 
Oh my son, I'll keep one hand on your shoulder.

I'll be around.
I'll be around. mmhmm
I'll be around.
I'll be around.

I'll be around.
I'll be around.
I'll be around.
I'll be around, only for a matter of time.

I'll Be Around

Slowly comes the rush. Time hasn't made it blunt.
As I stand beneath your tree sentiment really gets its hooks in me.
Oh how can I leave? How do I leave?
This is all I know of us, now becoming something else.
This is how it has to be. Dragging my feet so you can save an apple for me.

We pull up anchor. See you later.
I ask your favor even though you must stay here.
We have to keep moving on. We'll sink if we stand still for too long.

Just another hermit getting too big for his own shell.
But it probably will be plenty of room for someone else.
Careful what you wish for, end up a fish out of water.
Face down, flop on the pavement and it's getting hotter.

I'll wake up later. I stayed up later.

Goodmorning goodbye.
Goodmorning goodbye.
Goodmorning goodbye.
Goodmorning goodbye.

Just another hermit getting too big for his own shell.
But it probably will be plenty of room for someone else.
Careful what you wish for, end up a fish out of water.
Face down, flop on the pavement and it's getting hotter.

Goodmorning Goodbye
