(Intro)
Open your eyes up
So that you’ll see
Lavender Trees
The honey bees
You’re in disguise
You’re mystery
Forget all the guys
They’re history
I crossed the river styx
I think I’ve made my peace
And I came across your heart and
You gave me the keys
And I snuck into Tartarus
I fell down to my knees
Oh I love you so much
I’ll cross the seven seas
And I get butterflies when you sit next to me
My heart gets exercise, you make that sucker beat
I love my valentine I think you’re super sweet
And thank you for loving me from down beneath my feet
Open your eyes so
So you won’t miss
Honeycomb skies
Your daughters first kiss
Don’t worry about us
We will be fine
And he is so sweet
Like good cherry wine
I get butterflies when you sit next to me
My heart gets exercise, you make that sucker beat
I love my valentine I think you’re super sweet
And thank you for loving me from down beneath my feet
(Instrumental)
And I get butterflies when you sit next to me
My heart gets exercise, you make that sucker beat
I love my valentine I think you’re super sweet
And thank you for loving me from down beneath my feet

They call it puppy love and I, I’m in it, I’m in it
Meet me at the convenience store, you won’t regret it, regret it
Drinking Pepsi Cola, your all time favorite soda, and I
I love your crooked smile, and I
I love your bleach blonde hair
I love those emerald eyes, they’re sweet like licorice, like licorice
And when I said I love you pal just know I meant it, I meant it
Summers in Tacoma, your all time favorite aroma, and I
I love your sense of style, and I
I love that silly, sweet laugh and I,
I’m thankful that I met you
So dear, let’s make this moment last

I know that Laura’s the cute girl in the class
I know that Emmerson’s the one that makes you laugh
I know that Jamie for her cute wonderful smile
I know that Lily is the one who gets real wild
But I’m sorry, but Sara sucks
Oh I’m sorry, I wish her good luck because she’ll need it
Oh my darling
She has the blonde hair
Oh my darling
She doesn’t even care because she sucks, my love
I’m sorry, but Sara sucks
I’m sorry, but Sara sucks I hate her fucking guts
Oh no (x5)

French fries and a milkshake on a first date up on 5th Street,
A roundabout love story
Got some green beans in your teeth there, lookin’ goofy but I don’t care
you’re my morning glory
I know that you are the frog to my toad,
Yeah, you are the ant to my bee
I know that that’s how the story goes
When I love you and you love me (hopefully)
Red light, you make my heart stop, pull me over like a dumb cop
It’s a traffic catastrophe (pew pew pew)
You make me nauseous, ya make my heart race, ya make my mind buzz, ya make my teeth ache
A roundabout love story
I know that you are the sock to my shoe
Yeah, you are the sky to my blue
And I know that you make my heart go woo-oo
Can I get some ice cream for two?
Whistle!
(Whistle solo)
Meet for coffee sorry I’m late, made a mistake, but here’s a mixtape,
A roundabout love song
A roundabout love song
A roundabout love song
A roundabout roundabout, roundabout, roundabout (Kara)
A roundabout love song, A roundabout love song (True)
A roundabout roundabout, roundabout, woo-oo (Kara)
A roundabout love song, A roundabout, woo-oo (True)
A roundabout love song, A roundabout love song (Kara)
A roundabout roundabout, roundabout, roundabout (True)
A roundabout roundabout, roundabout (both)

Dance With Me at Prom

What I would give just to hold her.
What I would give just to know her.
Seein’ her smile makes me smile for a while.
What I would give just to...
Couldn’t explain how I felt that night,
Watchin’ her eyes like the morning light.
Covered in tears, washed away all my fears,
And I woke up. I woke up. She woke me up.
Her eyes sing like skies full of honey bees;
Her mind conjures dreams full of coral reefs.
She’s not good with words, but I’m certain, yes, I’m sure,
of what I would give for her.
She loves the world, And I’m lovin’ her.
She loves a girl; I wish I was her.
She held my hand, told me not to cry.
Her drunken girl laugh was a lullaby.
At once I was struck, and it felt like good luck --
Should’a known my luck sucks.
I didn’t know how your family goes,
So I asked you to dance; I never had a chance
(Whistle solo)
What I would give just to hold ya.
What I would give just to know ya.
Even your smile makes me smile for a while.
What I would give...

Day Two w/out Wisdom

When she first left, well I promised I’d take care of you
Promised I’d be there when you were feelin’ blue
Now that she’s gone, I promise to you and not to her
That you’re my friend, that you’ll never be alone
I’ll say it over and over and over and over again: I love you
Our little town is as quiet as it’s ever been
But a storm’s on the wind, feel the change a’gatherin’
And soon I’m leavin’, so are you
The summer rains will fall the thunder calls to tell us in our bones that we’re not alone
I’ll hold you close when the timing’s wrong and your lover’s gone
Needn’t you weep, I will hold you ‘til you fall asleep
Deep in the night, I will run my fingers along your face
So as to wash away the trace of your tears
I’ll say it over and over and over and over again: I love you
Watching your face brings the light into the darkest place
Your fingers play and the darkness falls away
Everything’s changing, so are we
The summer rains will fall, the thunder calls to tell us in our veins that we’re still the same
Birds flyin’ high, in the city can you see the sky?
Just close your eyes, you will be home in no time
(humming)

Call me crazy all you’d like
I know the difference between what’s wrong and what is right
I know that I can make you feel alright, I know that I could
Sitting on the bathroom floor, wishing I could see your pretty face at least once more,
Wishing I could see your pretty smile, wishing that I could.
Why, oh why must I
I sit home and cry
My eyes are red
Pain is in my head I think you’re cool
My rugby boy.
Wishing you could write a note
Expressing how you feel and how you hope tonight will go
But I’ve got something stuck inside my throat and I can’t cough it up
See your life through a gold lens,
Hanging with the pretty girls and all their handsome friends,
I just want to take your hand and dance, yeah I just want to groove.
Why, oh why must I
I sit home and cry
My eyes are red
Pain is in my head I think you’re cool
My rugby boy.
My rugby boy (x3)

Your smile lights me up like a sun
Exploding everyone
Your smile knocks the air from my lungs
My love you are the
One who I crave when I am alone
So darlin please come home to me right now
Your smile cricks and cracks like a gun
Til my heart’s completely stunned
Your dimples make me swoon honeybun
My heart’s completely
Won over you’ve got me in your charms
Forget the day and hold me in your arms
I love it when you smile ‘cause it means
That you’re happy here with me
And when you smile I feel so complete
Cause I’m happy bein’ your baby

Pretty boys with long blonde hair and
Crooked teeth all sittin’ there in a smile, prob’ly not so good for me, but
You’re as far as I can see
And you’re just sittin’ there with your long blonde hair and that crooked smile I think
I’ll just kiss ya right now
Pretty girls with big brown eyes and
I just know I can’t disguise how I feel when I see you standin’ there
Really nothing can compare
With your big brown eyes starin’ straight past me wish that you’d just see that I’m
Right here waitin’ for ya
And it all goes down when the sun goes down
And someone’s going down on somebody
I just wanna be loved in the sweet summer sun
So somebody hold me ‘til the autumn comes
I wanna hold you so tight, been dreamin’ ‘bout it
I wanna kiss you goodnight
I wanna hold ya, just hold ya
Hold ya
Pretty days and pretty nights and I’m
Full of praise and full of plights over love, what a supercilious word
It’s got me feelin so absurd
Just a word just air has got me feelin’ scared, and my stomach squirms thinking
‘Bout all my summer lovers
(Guitar solo)
I see a girl across the room battin’
Eyes and smelling of perfume and then I’m touchin’ her, she’s touchin’ me
I really cannot believe
That I’m just sittin here sippin’ on this beer and you’re sitting there with your
Fingers playin’ in my hair
And it all goes down when the sun goes down
And someone’s goin’ down on somebody
I just wanna be loved in the sweet summer sun
So somebody hold me til the autumn comes
‘Cause it all goes down when the sun goes down
And someone’s goin’ down on somebody
I just wanna be loved in the sweet summer sun
So somebody hold me til the autumn comes

Take me to the Arctic sea,
Where the land is green and the people free.
Where we are it’s hard to sing in major keys,
So please, please just hold me.
Been finding it hard to stay asleep,
But being awake ain’t much easier.
My whole body weeps;
Just gotta hold on to the purr of my guitar.
Magpies fill the sky, and I’m less alone in your eyes.
Bury me in the clouds above the hills;
The ice caps will be my angels;
The whales will sing at my funeral;
And I can love you from the sky.
Take me to the arctic sea,
Where the land is green and I might be free.
