Mikey
If you were planning on using this to sample me on another song
I'm going to have to ask Warner for a cut
But I hope your album and your animation is going well
You ever love somebody
So badly it burns lean
Settle down in the lobby
Idle till it's clean
Oh the hate won't last forever
Forever is too mean
When your car won't start at midnight
It must be the battery
Well we left the car on empty
As it rolled into a tree
Searching for a piece of heaven
Found it pinned right underneath
You can hope until it's better
Leave a letter at the scene
Cause this car ain't turning over
Must be the battery

Mouse Me Cat You
03:37

The world is so much bigger than the shoebox i call home
The cupboards are my Florence and the attic is my Rome
If Brian Jacques could see beyond the only walls I know
He’d weigh the cost of being lost
So flip for heads and brace for tales
With knuckles white and faces pale
You see a shadow watching back at you
When the chess piece makes its move
What am I gonna do
Your eyes chase me round the room
Mouse me and cat you
I don’t wanna be mouse rude
But mouse me is cat food
Why do animals have to have animosity
Surely there’s a friend behind the wide array of teeth
The dance we do together we could star in a movie
About a friend if I extend
If I flip for heads and brace for tales
When all goes riding off the rails
I’ll meet the shadow watching back at you
When the chess piece makes its move
What am I gonna do
Your eyes chase me round the room
Mouse me and cat you
I don’t wanna be mouse rude
But mouse me is cat food
I won’t move until you do
Until you do
I won’t move until you do
Until you do

Had a dream we opened up our own ice cream store
On the same night I laughed off disappointment
I don’t know how and I don’t know when
But for you I'd find a way to afford it
And if you're going
I'll leave you knowin
There's always gonna be another
Wild river flowin
If your hopin
Then I'm wide open
But is there room in that wild wild river
Had a dream I heard you knockin at my old front door
On the same night everything seemed timeless
I don’t know how and I don’t know when
But for me I'll find a way to ignore this
And if you're going
I'll leave you knowin
There's always gonna be another
Wild river flowin
If your hopin
Then I'm wide open
But is there room in that wild wild river
And if you're going
I'll leave you knowin
There's always gonna be another
Wild river flowin
If your hopin
Then I'm wide open
But is there room in that wild wild river

Everything

Let it all go
High without a kite
Yeah I don't know
You're not around me also
I can never work so it's been
Every little thing I worry
Every little thing I worry
I can be your one and only
Cause I
Don't know how to reset things
I Don't know how to receive things
Cause I don't want anything
Ever want everything
If you want everything
Cause I don't know what will make it go away
Let it all go
High without a kite
Yeah I don't know
You're not around me also
I can never work so it's been
Every little thing I worry
Every little thing I worry
I can be your one and only
Cause I
Don't know how to reset things
I Don't know how to receive things
Cause I don't want anything
Ever want everything
If you want everything
Cause I don't know what will make it go away

I want the feeling back
Back of a minivan
Watching flipped down DVDs
Like where are we going
And are we there yet
Don't really matter
Don't really matter to me
Dance with the strings attached
Broke my heart slowly
You don't make it easy to breath
Did you find someone else
Is it for the best
Don't really matter
Don't really matter to me
I never made a plan
Said I could live with that
Person I turned out to be
Well I could be right
I could be wrong
Don't really matter
Don't really matter to me

Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions
But only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic
Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it:
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Da-da-da-dee-da-da dum
Da-da-da-da-dee-da-da-doo

Simple Things
02:31
|

I’m at the car wash
Tentacles cover my eyes
I kind of like this
Gentle rain of cleaning supplies
I’m in your office
The legal papers bout to sign
My life away from me
Parents say they’re not safe for me
Don’t make this harder than it has to be
Simple things are hard to find
Simple things are hard to leave
Don’t take this moment here away from me
Simple things are hard to find
Simple things are hard to leave
I’m at the drive-in
There’s a movie on the screen
But I can’t focus
On the words you’re telling me
You said you loved me
But was it circumstantially
Didn’t like the broken silence
Being filled with irony
Don’t make this harder than it has to be
Simple things are hard to find
Simple things are hard to leave
Don’t take this moment here away from me
Simple things are hard to find
Simple things are hard to leave
Don’t make this harder than it has to be
Simple things are hard to find
Simple things are hard to leave
Don’t take this moment here away from me
Simple things are hard to find
Simple things are hard to leave

Burn
02:22

There’s a road that’s never ending so I drive out with a friend
To a place where I won’t make another rash decision
Found a sign beneath the forest said the fire levels red
I can feel the heat each night I sleep
That bear’s in my head
Don’t blame fire for spreading out of hand
Don’t sit around and fizzle out and burn a second chance
On the tree that killed my car I swore I’d let it all out
Still I find my bark too bridle
Still no bite in town
Now I stand here in the doorway where I planned to turn around
Though I panicked oh I panicked
So I spit it all out
So don’t blame fire for spreading out of hand
Don’t sit around and fizzle out and burn a second chance
Don’t blame fire for spreading out of hand
Don’t sit around and fizzle out and burn a second chance

Wrecking Crew ft. Ndala

This is fight flight or lose
There's some light I haven't used
Wear a coat to shield from view
Underneath is still you
Demolish it
Bring the wrecking crew
If you leave it
Let it start a new
I keep falling out of place
I close my eyes I see your face
What I knew bout me and you don't feel the same
Can't remember the last time I said your name
Demolish it
Bring the wrecking crew
If you leave it
Let it start a new

You've got an opinion you should keep that to yourself
Words have that tendency to loosen up the shelf
And if that shelf came crashing from the weight it had to hold
You'd see a few screws should have been there all along
And maybe next time
There might never be a next time
In the meantime
You should think on all the meantime
You've got rack and pinion you can meet me down the line
Two years of oils sure to burn you out of time
If you can wait a while you can bare the weight
And I'll quit the act if you quit showing up late
And maybe next time
There might never be a next time
In the meantime
You should think on all the meantime
If you don't mind
If you don't mind
If you don't mind
