"Sleepin'"

"Sleepin'"


This spring is gonna be the best one since 1981
Or so they've all been saying that
Might just buy me one of them Maine Coon cats
And serenade him basking in the sun on my front porch

I'm not sleepin' tonight
Sit back and watch the sunset work its magic in its own true light
I'm not sleeping tonight
So come on over

You'll make a butter lettuce salad
With all natural ingredients, except for cottage cheese
It's from the factories that our grocery store
Will stock their coolers with them
We'll pick up sometimes when we run low

I'm not sleepin' tonight
Sit back and watch the sunset work its magic in its own true light
I'm not sleepin' tonight
So come on over

Maybe I'll just slip into the moonlight
And catch a trail of stardust in your eyes
Oh oh oh oh
Maybe I'll just fall ever more in love with you
Maybe I'll just fall

I'm not sleepin' tonight
Sit back and watch the sunset work its magic in its own true light
I'm not sleepin' tonight
So come on over
No, I'm not sleepin' tonight
Come on over

"Sleigh Ride"

"Sleigh Ride"


Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come one it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
It's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry Fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be a perfect ending a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop
In the fireplace where we watch
The chestnusts pop. Pop! Pop! Pop!

There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world could buy
When they pass around the chocolate and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
Let's go let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy up. giddy up, giddy up
It's grand just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song
of a wintry fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

"Sloop John B"
(originally by the Beach Boys)

"Sloop John B"
(originally by the Beach Boys)



We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we do roam
Drinking all night, got into a fight
Well I feel so broken up, I want go to home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, why won't you let me go home?
Well I feel so broken up, I want to go home

The first mate got drunk
And broke in the Captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone?
Well I feel so broken up, I want to go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home?
I feel so broken up, I want to go home
Let me go home

The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home, why won't you let me go home?
This is the worst trip since I've been born

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, why don't you let me go home?
I feel so broken up, I want to go home

"Softer To Me"

"Softer To Me"


Where am I!? Where are you?
There's so much time so little to do
We're busy doing nothing cause it's vanity we prize.
You can't see nothing cause you can't see through your eyes.
They're covered with a film, you're blinded by yourself.
You're the one to blame but you pretend it's someone else.

Life could you be a little softer to me.
Life could you be more gentle to me.
Yeah I know this is a selfish plea,
Because Christ sacrificed his flesh
On the cross for me
But this world is hard,
It's cruel and I wish it could be...
Softer to me

I'm still alive. That much is true
I've never lied, well, I guess I've told a few.
There's nothing to see because I brought nothing to show.
The conversation got too deep, I shrug and tell you I' don't know.
This life can get so hard, this world can be so cruel,
Sometimes I fall apart I feel just like a useless tool.

"Staples"

"Staples"


Cause it hasn't been that long
since you almost hit the tree.
Cause it hasn't been that long
since you hit the pole because of speed.

Do you remember
the ambulance it took you there?
Do you remember
they cut your pants your favorite pair?
They shaved your head.
Where's all your hair.

The doctor said,
"We need some staples for his head."
The doctor said,
"Another foot you could be dead."
The doctor said,
"We need some staples for his head."
The doctor said,
"You should have took the bus instead."

All you could hear
was kachunk, kachunk, kachunk.
All you could hear
was the doctor putting staples in this punk.
[repeat]

He could have died that day.
Which means that he would not be here.
He would have gone away,
friends and family we'd shed our tears.
But the good thing would be
is that we would always know.
He would be living
with Jesus Christ in his new home.
[repeat]

"Sweeter"

"Sweeter"


She looks good in your clothes
Climbing up the staircase
Back to bed you go again
Even when her eyes are closed
Can’t keep from staring
Oh, the trouble you got in

She’s a memory
She’s an apparition,
Fogging up my vision
But I don’t pay no mind

She’s sweeter than sugar
Till the sun goes down
Don’t allow her to sour
Just spit her out
Believe me, she will leave a bad taste in your mouth
Can’t drink enough to wash her down

Wonder if she knows
That I know where she goes
When she says she’s with her friends
Yeah, everything grows old
Can’t try to stop it
All comes to a bitter end
But I don’t pay no mind

She’s sweeter than sugar
Till the sun goes down
Don’t allow her to sour
Just spit her out
Believe me, she’ll leave a bad taste in your mouth
Can’t drink enough to wash her down
Wash her down

She’s a memory
She’s an apparition,
Fogging up my vision
But I don’t pay no mind

She’s sweeter than sugar
Till the sun goes down
Don’t allow her to sour
Just spit her out
Believe me, she’ll leave a bad taste in your mouth
Can’t drink enough to wash her down
Wash her down

"Terminals"

"Terminals"


They said the timing was dreadful
(Yeah, you could say that again)
Now there is one pair of heads full
(Of thoughts that don't make any sense)
Just passing through, trying to catch that glimpse of you

I never hold on when I change
Terminals at ATL
It's a balance of grace
In a place where I tripped and fell

But if grace receives all my weight
Then it becomes a crutch
And I don't wanna walk with a crutch so much
That I can't stand taller than before

It's splintered, and I felt horrendous
(Lying through the gap in my teeth)
When broken, is when You can mend us
(So help me get back up on my feet)
Just passing through, trying to catch that glimpse of you

I never hold on when I change
Terminals at ATL
It's a balance of grace
In a place where I tripped and fell

But if grace receives all my weight
Then it becomes a crutch
And I don't wanna walk with a crutch so much
That I can't stand taller than before

Lie, I'm staring longer than I know I should be
I can't believe you're standing next to me

I never hold on when I change
Terminals at ATL
It's a balance of grace
In a place where I tripped and fell

But if grace receives all my weight
Then it becomes a crutch
And I don't wanna walk with a crutch so much
That I can't stand taller than before

I will stand taller than before
I will stand taller than before
Taller than before

"That's My Jam"
(feat. Owl City)

"That's My Jam"
(feat. Owl City)



Turn up the record cause the song's just begun
I'm smashing pumpkins like it's November 1
Wish Britney'd hit me one more time on the phone
So tired of counting crows with Mr. Jones
My sister Hazel knows that it's all for you
Am I a blur or do you sing my song 2?

Ooh Ooh Ooh Summertime
Ooh Ooh Ooh Back in '99
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooooooh
Our first dance
Ooh Ooh Ooh That's my jam

Jane's addicted and Alice is in chains
U2 like to move me in mysterious ways
We're chasing waterfalls and wonderwalls
My Jewel, you were meant for me so save my soul
Add seven Mary three plus 98 degrees
Eve 6 times 311, that's you and me

Ooh Ooh Ooh Summertime
Ooh Ooh Ooh Back in '99
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooooooh
Our first dance
Ooh Ooh Ooh That's my jam

This blessed union of collective souls
Is the only world we know
This heart-shaped candlebox burns for you alone
You outta know

Ooh Ooh Ooh Summertime
Ooh Ooh Ooh Feelin' so sublime
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooooooh Boy II Man
Ooh Ooh Ooh My pearl jam

Ooh Ooh Ooh Summertime
Ooh Ooh Ooh Back in '99
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooooooh Take my hand
Ooh Ooh Ooh Baby, you're my jam

"The Best Thing"

"The Best Thing"


It's been a year
Filled with problems
But now you're here
Almost as if to solve them
And I can't live in a world without you now

All my life
I've been searching for you
How did I survive
In this world before you
Cause I don't wanna live another day without you now

This is the best thing
The best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's
Happening to you and me

All I'm gonna have
Is all that you can give me
And I'll give right back
Everything I have in me
Cause nothing ever felt as right
As this does right now

I'll go back to before we met
Try and erase the past
Try harder to forget cause
Nothing will ever be as good as here and now

Cause when I looked into your eyes
And you dared to stare right back
You should've said "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half"

And this is the best thing
The best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's happening
This is the best thing (the best thing)
The best thing that could be happening (the best thing)
And I think you would agree (whoooaaa whooaa)
The best thing is that it's
Happening to you and me

Always knew
I'd find someone
I never dreamt
It'd be like this
You've surpassed
All that I've hoped for (and ever wished)
And I'm tryin'
So hard
With all my heart and mind
To make your life
As good as you've made mine

This is the best thing (the best thing)
The best thing that could be happening (the best thing)
And I think you would agree (whooaaa)
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

(The best thing) The best thing that could be happening
(The best thing) I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

"The Cup"

"The Cup"


Some kids smile at Sweetarts sweet hearts
It's so sad
But three cheers for Three Musketeers
Out there fighting the good low-fat food fight all night
That's right, three cheers for Three Musketeers
Reese's Cup was the candy they all measured up to
Snickers bar's no fun in the fun size
Butterfingers are tough to beat
But they stick to the tops and the bottoms of my teeth
And I know that can't be good for me

Let me catch you up
There's a crunchy new cream of the crop
It's called the Butterfinger Cup
The Butterfinger Cup
Butterfinger Cup

Honey, nobody likes Bit-O-Honey
Falling down into their plastic pumpkin receptacle
Why don't you give something respectable
Like a baby bag of M+Ms or a Watchama, Whatchamacallit?

Let me catch you up
There's a crunchy new cream of the crop
It's called the Butterfinger Cup
The Butterfinger Cup
Butterfinger Cup
Butterfinger
Butterfinger Cup
Butterfinger Cup
Butterfinger Cup
The Butterfinger

Ding dong
Hey, it's me
Uh, do you have any candy?
You do, what kind?
A Butterfinger Cup?
Can I have one, please?
I get it, you were just saying
Yeah, I mean, I ain't got a costume
And I ain't got a disguise, but, I'm just your neighbor
With butter cups for eyes
Give him the trophy
Tell the Cup he's number one
'Cause you've got to love
You've got to love the Butterfinger, Butterfinger

Butterfinger Cup
The Butterfinger Cup
Butterfinger Cup
Butterfinger
Butterfinger Cup
The Butterfinger Cup
Butterfinger Cup
The Butterfinger

Gimme, gimme, gimme
Butterfinger
I want some in my guts
Yes, those Butterfinger Cups
They're delicious
Not quite nutritious, but so delicious
Gimme, gimme, gimme, those Butterfinger, Butterfinger cups
Gimme, gimme, gimme, want some in my guts
Butterfinger Cups
