Working 9 to 5
Just trying to get by
With a little of my time at the end of the day
Cuz I just need to daydream
Blackout th little screens
And notification rings, they keep a-buzzin’ me yeah
Babe I’m coming over tell me what you say
Honey already on the freeway
Let’s get away to day
Take a little break
Down to Monterey
So we can shake it out
Shake it out, shake shake it out
Beep beep! I’m ‘round the corner
Girl get the rose
Let’s make it a holiday
Don’t you think about a damn thing
Come on little jelly bean
You’re just the sweetest thing
And if I’m wasting time I wanna waste it with you
Babe I’m coming over tell me what you say
Honey already on the freeway
Let’s get away to day
Take a little break
Down to Monterey
So we can shake it out
Let’s get away to day
Take a little break
Down to Monterey
So we can shake it out
Shake it out, shake shake it out
Shake it out, shake shake shake shake shake
Shake it out, shake shake it out
Shake it out, shake shake shake shake shake

Dog We Don't Have
03:29
|

|
Morning comes you’re the sunrise laying there
Warmer than the Texas summer air
Powder blue horizon, your eyes
Make me feel so fine
Chorus:
I like talking with ya
I like making your breakfast
And I like walking with ya
Naming a dog we don’t have
A dog we don’t have
We’ll get a house down South, not a bachelor pad
And make it last just like your mom and dad
Now everything is easy baby
I get to sleep alright
I like talking with ya
I like making your breakfast
And I like walking with ya
Naming a dog we don’t have
A dog we don’t have
Ba ba ba ba ba
Hurry home I’ll be waiting by the door
Need you more each day than I did before
Howling out your name little mama
Let the neighbors knock
I like talking with ya
I like making your breakfast
And I like walking with ya
Naming a dog we don’t have
A dog we don’t have

Boy Genius
04:15
|
|||
|
Been a long time
Since I went to a party at Johnny’s on the southside
We strike a conversation
Same old station
With a new haircut but that stubborn information
You’ve tuned into all these years
Oh no, that’s just how it goes
Oh no, you think you’re special
Have you read all the books?
Every single volume
Were you always boy genius or was it something that you learned?
Oh, what is your secret?
I’m dying to hear it
Aren’t you a know it all
Modern Webster
With your cavalier style and pretentious tone
So clever, caricature of an intellectual
That’s just how it goes
Oh no, you think you’re special
Have you read all the books?
Every single volume
Were you always boy genius or was it something that you learned?
Oh, what is your secret?
I’m dying to hear it
Aren’t you a know it all
Oh I see what’s happening, reciting a hundred things
You found in the blue light last night
Don’t you feel smarter like a freshman at Harvard
Yeah, sharpest tool in the shed
And so well read
Have you read all the books?
Every single volume
Were you always boy genius or was it something that you learned?
Oh what is your secret?
Promise I’ll keep it
Just dying to hear it
Aren’t you a know it all

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday
It should be your day
But you’re not here to celebrate
You’re not here to eat your cake
Happy birthday
I miss you in the worst way
I think that I will stay inside
And light your candles bright
Hallelujah raise a glass to all that we had
Hallelujah raise it high even though it’s still sad
To lose a friend, to hide and seek
To lose someone, in the spaces between
Happy birthday
I never could remember in the first place
And this year ain’t no cards to write
But I’ll still sing to you tonight
Hallelujah raise a glass to all that we had
Hallelujah raise it high even though it’s still sad
Hallelujah raise a glass to all that we had
Hallelujah raise it high even though it’s still sad
To lose a friend, to hide and seek
To lose someone, in the spaces between
Happy birthday
This is your day

My Problem
03:12
|
|||
|
You’re the one
I’d settle down for and leave my foolish ways
Drop everything and meet you any place
Darling how I long to see your face
And I can’t sleep
I don’t want to blink or eat or rest
I want to give to you all I invest
Every precious moment I have left
My problem is I need you more and more
You’re the only one that I adore
You say you love me, swear I love you more
And that’s my problem
And I’m the one
Who has to overthink and analyze
I make things hard and tend to dramatize
And when I say… “I can live without you” that’s a lie
My problem is I need you more and more
You’re the only one that I adore
You say you love me, swear I love you more
And that’s my problem
ooh
My love, I’m so insecure
And I don’t feel like I deserve love
So scared you don’t mean those words
And that’s my problem
My problem is I need you more and more
You’re the only one that I adore
You say you love me, but I love you more
And that’s my problem

Sean
03:24

|
I’m getting coffee so I call Sean, he’s never in town that much
I put on pants, do a dance and kick the door
The sun shines brighter than a lighter that’s been flicked
The car AC is on the fritz, but I deal with it
It’s always good to get together, together
It’s always good to get together, together with an old friend
Sean says he’s gonna sell his house and live in his car
I tell him, “Man that’s a dumb plan and what would Betsy think?”
It’s kinda shady to bring a lady to a movie in your back seat
You got a good job, get a dog, and keep your keys
It’s always good to get together, together
It’s always good to get together, together with an old friend
Remember that drinking game we made up?
We were nineteen in that big yellow house on Rio street
Midnight cheers and cheap beers, we made a pact
We said “We have to get a tattoo on our chests”
But I was the only one to go through with it
It’s always good to get together, together
It’s always good to get together, together with an old friend

The Sun
05:26
|

When I was younger, yesterday
I didn’t care ‘bout the sun
Hiding my face I would turn away
Like a small town thief on the run
But now out of the shade,
I need it on my skin
Soaking up every ray, for the days
I won’t see it again ohh…
Everyone knows at the big parade
That a raincloud surely will come
But there’s no reason to be afraid
Patiently wait for the sun
And now out of the rain
I need it on my skin
Soaking up every ray, for the days
I won’t see it again ohh…
Ohhh…
Ohhh…
If you were gone, oh what would I be?
Lost in the woods like a lamb
That’s why I hold you close to me
Warm in your glow while I can
And now out of the glades
I need it on my skin
Soaking up every ray, for the days
I won’t see you again ohh…
Ohhh…

Lonely Boy, Lonely Girl
04:51
|
|||
|
Walking you home to your door
Wishing that you wanted more
But I’m just a lonely boy
Are you a lonely girl?
What’s the harm in trying?
Let me into your world
I wanna spend the night
I wanna hold you tight
I wanna make you mine
But you don’t want me to
Don’t you want me to?
Say you want me to
No, you don’t want me to
I think you want me to
Oh, I know you do
Oooh
I know you hold your heart close
And I don’t want to impose
But you’re just a lonely boy
And me a lonely girl
I’ll never tell you lies
I’m giving you my word
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna make some plans
I wanna give a damn
But you don’t want me to
Don’t you want me to?
Say you want me to
No, you don’t want me to
I think you want me to
Oh, I know you do
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna make some plans
I wanna give a damn
But you don’t want me to
Don’t you want me to?
Say you want me to
No, you don’t want me to
I think you want me to
Oh, I know you do
Oooh
