I want to be spring.
I want to be warm.
I want to be summer.
I want to be hot.
I want to be spring,
when the flowers bloom.
I want to be summer,
summer afternoon.
Love me hard at the end of the day,
because you never know when
the seasons will change.

You are who you are.
I am who I am.
Some things never change.
I hope you understand.
I've got to take this one.
I got to lay it down.
I can't be a pauper,
when there's a kingdom and a crown.
Aladdin!
Get back here with that!
He's taken my wishes.
He's taken my lamp.
Please remember what they're going through,
and please forgive me for what I didn't do.

I can look into the mirror,
but I'll never see how you see me.
I don't know if I'm right.
I don't know if I'm cool.
I don't know if I'm smart,
but that's OK though.
I can come back from the ashes,
always had elasticity.
I don't know if I'm smart.
I don't know if I'm right.
I don't know if I'm cool,
but that's OK though.
You may be a black sheep, baby,
but no one does it by themselves.
I've got it all if you need it.
You know I'm here when it's heavy.
You may be a black sheep, honey,
but no one does it by themselves.
We’ve got a lifetime, baby.
We're not going to wash into the bay.

How long until the clouds clear?
We need some good news to change our minds.
Seems every single day there’s rain,
or something’s being obliterated.
Hard to picture where I’ll be next year.
Changing always,
turning into myself.
A body in the dark,
the pumping of the blood from my heart.
Can’t imagine I would believe this,
calling back to ten years ago.
A pumpkin in the snow,
some dumb kid getting annihilated.
Friday nights they were so sacred.
Hey, they still are, and Sunday night comes quick.
Crashing to the floor, the rumble and the roar,
the humming of the heart at the core.
Seems every single day there’s rain.
One decade, two decades, it takes a long.
Strange to think where I’ll be next year.
Changing always,
turning into myself

Hey, at first, I thought that was stupid,
then I thought, "Hey, why don't I do it?
Why don't I do it?
What could it hurt?
So, why don't i do it?"
Hey, at first, I thought that was stupid,
then I thought, "Hey, why don't I do it?
What is it worth?
Why don't I do it?
What could it hurt?"
Hey, at first, I thought that was stupid
Then I thought, "Maybe it's worth doing?
Maybe I should look in to it?"
Then I thought, "Hey, why don't I do it?"
You know, it's been a long time.
I think I know myself pretty well.
And you don't set my alarms.
And you're not my good luck charm anymore.
When you feel it in your bones.

If you didn't want it,
if you saw right through it,
if you didn't like it,
then why'd you do it?
Why'd you do it?
I have to ask you,
why did you do it?
Now they've got you all unwinding.
Now they've got you backsliding.
Now they've got you working double.
You're trudging.

Your guess is as good as mine,
not here to waste your time though.
Really wonder what makes you tick,
and what you think about it.
You paw your nose.
You paw the dirt.
You scrunch a blanket into a ball,
and when the neighbors exist
you bark at the wall.
Your guess is as good as mine.
What makes a dog so wise?
If you ever need a snack,
well, I can get you that.
And I don't know what you see
when you're staring at the trees.
And, I don't know, is it good
when you're running through woods?
Guess so, or why would you do it?
Just wish I could see the world through your eyes.
Anyway, you won’t ever hear this.
You're oblivious.
You're my guy.
Your guess is as good as mine,
what makes a dog so wise?
You paw your nose.
You look so cool.
You melt my heart into a pool.

Come on, come on,
let bygones be bygones.
Captain says that we’re kicking off soon.
Push off the docks,
now we’re heading downstream.
Seems like a dream,
but it’s happening.
I wouldn’t look down
and never look back.
This is the ship of no regrets- no upsets.
The S.S. Bliss, it’s a trip.
You do or you don’t.
You will or you won’t.
But, we‘ve got to get on out of here,
because we are the only ones.
I’ll leave it just how I found it.
Yeah, I’m not changing anything.
Come on, come on,
don’t worry about the rest.
Captain says they'll get what they get.
It's dog eat dog.
Every man for themselves.
May seem obscene,
but it's happening,
I wouldn’t look down,
there are bodies in the river.
This is the ship of no regrets- no upsets.
The S.S. Bliss, it's a trip.
You do or you don't.
You should, but you won't.

I've got a wind-up car.
I built it myself.
It doesn't go very far.
You wind it up, then you let it go.
You wind it up, and watch it go
until it stops, after it slows.
I built myself a wind-up car.
It's pretty slow, and it doesn't go very far.
Hey, it's me, God,
and I've got eight billion wind-up cars.
I built them myself.
They don't go very far.
I wind them up, then I let them go.
I wind them up, and I watch them go
until they stop, after they slow.

Gold Stars and your face like a mirror,
the lights were so bright
I couldn't see past you,
but it was all right.
We were right in the middle.
I feel as though the chords
you're playing are pulled from Elton John,
and I feel as though the rhythms
you're playing are pulled from Modest Mouse.
That's very perceptive of you.
