Sunny Daze 05:45
Oh my darling, won’t you come lay down next to me? We’ll get all comfy and cozy, I’ll sing you to sleep Why the hell would either of us ever want to leave? But if you’ve got to, oh, give me a minute or two To get used to the fact that I’ll soon be without you Saying goodbye, you know it ain’t easy to do But later you’ll be back, everything will be fine We’ll sit back and relax, pop open a bottle of wine Why can’t things be just like this all the time? Why, why, baby why? Oh my darling, after all this time I still can’t believe The way you captured my heart, the one I wear on my sleeve And the capture was mutual miraculously But now it’s later, you’re back, everything is sublime Who would have thought serenity could be so easy to find? I’m so used to heart break all the time That’s why I spend my days waiting for the rain But the rain’s not coming, the rain’s not coming at all And when I don’t know what to say You know I won’t say nothing, I won’t say nothing at all Woah oh oh oh I’ll spend my days dreading all that rain But the rain’s not coming, the rain’s not coming at all And when I don’t know what to say You know I won’t say nothing, I won’t say nothing I spend my days waiting for the rain But the rain’s not coming, the rain’s not coming at all And when I don’t know what to say You know I won’t say nothing, oh you know I won’t nothing, oh you know I won’t say nothing At all

Solo Quiero 04:05
Solo quiero dejar de pensar en ti Solo quiero vivir Pero lo único cosa he que aprendí Es que eso es demasiado pedir Solo quiero completamente olvidar Porque me haces querer morir Pero, si eso puede alguna vez pasar Es imposible decir

I could noodle all day long I could go la-la-la til my la-la-lungs bleed I could dabble with a metaphorical song I pretend to play the saxophone as if I know what I’m doing But oooh oh oh There’s this thing that I just cannot do And I’m so god damn frustrated I can’t hack tackling the task that feels so simple I’m pretty sure just about anyone else can But no matter how many ways I try, I can’t whistle Well, admittedly, I could try, and surely it’d make a sound But the sound would be airy, off-pitch, and awfully shitty It won’t be pretty You’re gonna have a heap of trouble picking out the melody It ain’t a soothing sound, it’s never going to bring a fully grown person to tears But it’s the sound I’m gonna try right now, so I would cover your ears And so I wrote this silly song In hopes it gives me the necessary practice And if I play it all day long (every day, every week, every year) Then eventually, maybe, I won’t be so hopeless So, a hundred bucks to anyone that teaches me right But all attempts were failures, so don’t get your hopes high I need practice, so here goes one more try

Are We Cool? 06:12
Being great at something doesn’t make you cool If it gives you the delusion that your peers are lesser to you Having shit loads of money, it doesn’t make you cool If it puts you on a high horse and if you dehumanize the destitute La la la la Being ridiculously good looking doesn’t make you cool If you think it means the whole world is required to fall in love with you Having forty thousand stories to tell, woah, it doesn’t make you cool If your ear goes deaf when you’re out of breath and somebody else is trying to share with you But if you’ve got compassion And empathic tendency If you give a shit about your fellow humankind Well then you’re cool enough for me For me For me For me (Breakin’ it down, now!) Your cushy seat in the oval office, it doesn’t make you cool If the road that got you there was paved with trickery and letting hate shine through This is just my opinion, it doesn’t make me cool It’s just a constant reminder to myself, heed it if you choose If you choose La la la la And if your mind is open, if you accept your faults And you kept that childish wonder, but you know how to act like an adult And if you’ve got compassion, and empathic tendency Oh if you’ve got a great big heart, well then you’re cool enough For me For me You’re cool enough for me For me

86 05:15
Like a deer in the glow, like a foot on a mine Like an old favorite toy, like I’ve run out of time Like the loss of your faith, like the loss of a home Like a sweater you suddenly feel you’ve outgrown Just a man on the street, just a face in the crowd Just a dog unexpectedly left at the pound Just an overdue book that you kept for too long Just a stereo turned down when it got too loud (way too loud) Just a soul made of glass, just a man made of stone Just the dust that collects on your home telephone Just a bill in the mail, just a thorn in your side Just an addict that suddenly lost his supply Like a loss of control, like a lack of defense Like my price tag says zero dollars, zero cents Like a pest, like a jerk , like a child, like a dunce Like a boxer, blindsided, out in one punch (one punch) Like I lost all my love Like a fool in the rain Like I’m over the hills Like I’m so far away A collectible crutch, a disposable flame A collectible crutch, my disposable name
