You can run through amber waves Catch south sea pearls by the bay But the Summer yellow days are only fun Because someone brings the Sun She's got pith and wit and she revels in it Never ashamed to be admired Even though she's all about the law It's her Grace that makes her so desired But get on her bad side and like the Dodo you're out of luck But she beams so bright you wouldn't want to lose that light Because she's got, Eternal Sunshine Eternal Sunshine, Eternal Sunshine, Eternal Sunshine You don't need Coppertone, you don't need Zinc She is hot but she won't burn you alive The more you know her, the less you're able To Freeze the heat inside Blazing fire on a blanket of snow Tall beacon piercing the darkness A gift like hers isn't one to harness Yet you hope she don't let you go Gliding on the water or dancing in the sky it's a dazzling sight to behold I'm so hypnotized I realize I'm blind, but I'm better off than before because I've got, Eternal Sunshine Eternal Sunshine, Eternal Sunshine, Eternal Sunshine Some say the moon is better, But when's the moon left a good mark? Moonshine makes folks blabber and wetter And Mondays are terrible days to start Sundays you can relax and party and Sunshine brings smiles and good cheer Making rainbows out of water falling And bringing springtime, year after year ... Because I've got, Eternal Sunshine...

The Best Man 03:58
I'm The Best Man Why'd ya settle for this man? You know I'm your number one fan! And He doesn't make the Top Ten... You say you found true love..You think that he's the best? If you're glad with good enough, then why call me up to ask... "Can you hang out tonight?..I wanna feel alright.." What's the reason you keep this boyfriend for, anymore? You say that we're good friends? I think it's more along these lines That you're just scared to death that if you leave this guy he'll die... You know that I'm right, he knows you won't take flight Is this sacrifice worth it for this kinda guy? I'm The Best Man Why just settle for this man? You know I'm your number one fan! And He doesn't make the Top Ten... I've got one plan It starts by leaving these badlands Melting together with our hands And keeping the faith til kingdom come. ... I've followed the path you've paved and asked me to take I don't know what else you need, what else it takes You need to have the best one by your side And the one you're with ain't that kind of guy But you've said I'm that kind of guy And it drives my mind crazy every tiiiiiiiiiime! I'm The Best Man Why'd ya settle for this man? You know I'm your number one fan! And He doesn't make the Top Ten... I've got one plan it starts by leaving these badlands Melting together with our hands And keeping the faith til Kingdom Come ... If any person can show just cause why this couple should not be joined together, speak now or forever hold your peace... I'm The Best Man! Why just settle for this man? You know I'm your number one fan! And He doesn't make the Top Ten... I've got one plan it starts by leaving these badlands Melting together with our hands And keeping the faith til Kingdom Come, I'm the Best Man!

Highlighter 03:03
To Say I love you is to say that I commit I don't think I'm that responsible yet I don't want to risk or ruin a beautiful thing So I'll adore you from a distance Cause like a Highlighter, you brighten the pages of my life And like a Piece by Dalí, you please and intrigue me when I look or think of you, it's very true Jessica: I thank you for being my friend, throughout the years I know if I need someone you'll come and volunteer You're so truthful, joyful, loving, and sincere If I need a love it's crystal clear Cause like a Highlighter, you brighten the pages of my life and like a sweet smoothie, you soothe me with all of your blended together fruits, all so ripe David: Maybe tomorrow I'll assert and propose And give you chocolates and a rose I might have better ideas further down the road I just want to show you that I love you, love you! David: To say I love you is to say that I commit Jessica: And to linger longer would be your great regret David: I'll be your man and keep you warm and safe and calm Together: Our faith and trust will keep us strong! cause like a Highlighter you brighten the pages of my life and like a Film and Camera, there's so much to capture and develop now that we have the right lens and like a sweet smoothie you soothe me with all of your blended together fruits all so ripe and like a Highlighter, you brighten the pages of my life...all the time...all the time

You're 1-2-3, I'm 3-4-5, We rooted bud and blossomed vine Harvest never better or taste so sweet Walked too fast for other's toes, been spurned by countless bros and hos but living life with you, is living life complete. Ranger Danger in my face Swerving nights I can't erase I wish every getaway was clean and neat The evil urge to run is gone the dawn is bright the west is won I repeat, living life with you is living life complete All Things Pink and All Drinks Clear Bacon Cheeseburgers Disappear You're the only one who can make me lose my seat If I can't remember, it can't be great I'm so grateful for these daily plates I repeat, living life with you is living life complete Nobody can put out our everlasting spark We're spry with more than five to make a mark You're gonna challenge me head on and help me grow You're gonna be loved beyond what I think I even know Arguments no longer powered Still tragedies strike swift and sour In the end death's the one thing we can't beat But before we croak to crypt down under We'll live and share with flair and wonder I repeat, living life with you is living life complete Alabama maid gave a voice to silent hands Deaf Maestro composed universal ode to joy Paralyzed Garcon fluttered butterfly by one eye These folks lived great but had life rough I'm glad you're fine and laugh at my stuff If someone else like you existed I'd never know and prob'ly miss it I'm glad you're the one I had to meet My world didn't turn around Til I lost myself in you and found living life with you is living life complete Living life with you, is living life complete... :)

She lives so far, She's never on She takes her time, and she won't let me turn the clock Emily, I'm all wrung out And I'm drowning in this drought Flood Over Me. Flood and Fill Me, Emily Flood and Flow Through Me. I've found your faults, and you've found mine We only found them cause we cared to take the time Emily, I'm all wrung out And I'm drowning in this drought Flood Over Me. Flood and fill me, Emily Flood and Flow Through Me. We understand, We know what's true But why am I alone saying I Love You? Emily, I'm all wrung out And I'm drowning in this drought Flood Over Me. Flood and fill me, Emily Flood and Flow Through Me...

Look Here 04:00
Destiny's alright when it's in your favor, I've prayed a thousand prayers, but still there's no good answers Why does God strand us and save Goldman Sachs What's the lesson to be learned? Do I throw my fist at God, Do I throw it at the Church Do I throw it at the law, do I throw just cause it hurts? I don't know what to do, but I know I need to get it done Stranded in the cold, from all the firing locked out here with nowhere hiring More than growing numbers, we're real flesh and blood The people rising up and singing Look Here! We're living through the now, With our lives in the air and our dreams on the ground We're stranded, we're sweating, but look here, We won't throw the towel! New jobs now are outsourced abroad The modern workforce made of foreign slaves and claws I'm glad the DC folks care for those down in the valley But understand this well That's our own damn fault, We gave them the power, we gave them the raise but now there's time for us, for us to make a change! We're mad as hell and we've had enough! We can't choose how we're born, but We can pick what we die for I want to live for you, I want to die for you I'm gonna stand by you, I'm gonna march with you but we can't be alone...I mean just Look Here With our lives in the air and our dreams on the ground We're fighting, we're bleeding, but look here, We won't throw the towel! I can't promise that you won't bleed, I can't promise that you'll succeed, But I know a better life begins when you and me take a stand I mean just Look Here! We're living through the now, With our lives in the air and our dreams on the ground We're stranded, we're sweating, but look here, We won't throw the towel! I mean just Look Here! We're living through the now, With our lives in the air and our dreams on the ground We're stranded, we're sweating, we're fighting, we're bleeding, but look here, We won't throw the towel!

Miss Direct 03:32
It goes on, this playlist repeats And the hold button is broke It’s a searing sunkiss It’s a reminder that I won’t soon forget Now I could expect the lack of connect If it were another instead But we took this hike together and, surprise we beat the weather Did the morning glow scare you from home? She can hit any target smaller than the palm of my hand. But she can’t see the beauty of the Sistine Ceiling. or the pleasure that a serenade can give She thinks breathing means flexing your lungs And that the heart only beats on its own All her answers get A’s But they don't explain what's best I can't help to help, but she'll still go miss direct. Llike a nail needs wax or a hammer. Differently, we all need treatment applied I’m don’t like to strike straight on with these rhymes But after caressing and washing and painstaking detailing Pampering what I thought a Swan, nothing more than a duck in the end While she migrates at night I might turn on the right C’est la vie, missing me, and miss direct.

Wish 05:39
Doubt, pressing every space Lies repeat, grant me honest grace Fresh incense fill the breeze Swirling through my head Led away beyond my wish. Sea, waving over land Help me hold, teach me with no hands Quietly lifting up Blue, yet brightly Trust the bow after the storm But lo, a marble saint Stayed close while I suspended in darkness hark, a light curve o'er my heart I began praying out loud Crying praises and new vows And somehow landed on solid ground Lakes, solace to survive Take a drink, cool down passing by Robins in Symphony Lullaby my soul While I hum their melody Sea, waving over land Help me hold, teach me with no hands Quietly lifting up Blue, yet brightly Trust the bow after the storm Daily, stainglass folks Impress a most dazzling display No mistaking their power In life then and now Yet I don't know the time Blizzards blow while I pine But one day I'll find The I do from yours to mine Doubt, pressing every space Lies repeat, grant me honest grace Fresh incense fill the breeze Swirling through my head Led away beyond my wish.

Aurora 04:01
Stun Gun made a coinflip for California Kissed her brothers tucked tight in their bed Clothes and cash all packed and saved For a spotlight role on a wide-eyed stage Watch Prince Albert open his can of worms Sing new songs with lonely, lowly men Milk and Peppers soothe and burn and a Motel Shower can wash the dirt ... Madonna and Dick Tracy caught in surprise They always get their man but now they've lost their minds Sooner or later's best bet's in prayer While she toils away to rein some favor She may not be an undergrad But she understands you can't live inside a flume She may end up in vagrancy, but she's gotta chase her destiny Aurora, brightly beaming, gently gleaming Aurora, floating freely, dancing dreamily, Aurora, trying to find a space to shine across the sky Stun gun met Jean Jesus in a crowded room They turn five words to daily sweet perfume She trusts him fast, his aim is true But when he hit his mark, she dropped the cue It's hard to break a pattern Only understanding one fashion, one design She says it doesn't matter She'd rather go back home, and leave the lights behind Aurora, brightly beaming, gently gleaming Aurora, floating freely, dancing dreamily, Aurora, trying to find a space to shine across the sky

Take Me Home 04:18
Fine Shining City Why do you deceive? After all I've done...Doing good, being Kind All knowing people Blind, Deaf, and Loud I wish to love you...Sharing Joy, Giving Peace Raise me up and Take Me Home Leave my shell behind and lift my load Raise me up and Take Me Home I wanna live inside a living world Pebbles have purpose Ripples have reason Why've I sprung this Season?..will I save? Or, Wipe a Slate? Raise me up and Take Me Home Leave my shell behind and lift my load Raise me up and Take Me Home I wanna live inside a living world I won't take my thoughts and sheath them I won't shift on how I stand If I must suffer, then so be it, I have a hope beyond the sand! Raise me up and Take Me Home Leave my shell behind and lift my load Raise me up and Take Me Home I wanna live inside a living world...
