Bright Side 02:30
Do you remember the bad times The silence Dripping from the ceiling I'm crying The bodies in the basement are rotting I'm feeling a bit queasy from the sushi I ate about an hour ago Why can't you look on the bright side there were more good times then bad When i was a young boy my father oh wait thats another song im sorry im trying to be more original more sociable more available more emotional A buddhist A hippie something I can be proud of when i'm 40 or 60 or rotting in the basement Why can't you look on the bright side there were more good times then bad

She kisses the moon in the sky Touches the stars with her hands Skips through the water of the Atlantic at the speed of sound She is Jesus' daughter She cries every night Seeing the greed that consumes us all The blood flowing in the streets of New Orleans She is Jesus' Daughter She is angered by The wars we have fought for little more than nothing The fact that two people wont stay together She is Jesus' Daughter She is pissed off at the stupidity of hatred and the stubbornness of idiots that never learned to give in She is Jesus' daughter Without this song You never would have guessed that Jesus had a daughter She doesn't care about your mistakes or if you believe in her father

Ocean 01:10
Sitting in the sand sea breeze on my skin blowing through my soul Not thinking anything Then the tide rises waves come in and swallow me whole It's a sad sad story Drifting out to sea just cruising along on a whale bigger than the taj mahal reach our destination north of the north pole say goodbye to that whale and leave the great sea On the north pole made friends with some reindeer they said they could fly then they flew real high I was all alone got a chill in my bone I was ready to head home But I was all alone Then a small fish in the ice asked me if id like some advice I told him not to bother Its not like he was my father Fish said to me He said dont go dont leave He said I'll miss you so And I got up and walked away All the way home

Self 03:09
Down by the farm I walk and I stand Right past the barn And across the lake There’s a green green pasture That’s where I live I am a cow I eat the grass I have no worries and no concept of self There’s a green green pasture Up in the tree I sit and I wait Hunting my prey I might fly away There’s a brown autumn forest That’s where I live I am an owl I fly away I have no worries And no concept of self There’s a brown autumn forest That’s where I live Out in the garden I slither around Under the flowers Under the ground There’s a green leafy garden that’s where I live I am a snake I’m not the devil I have no worries And no concept of self There’s a green leafy garden that’s where I live In my house I sit and I watch Mindless TV I am lazy There’s a crumbling society That’s where I live I am a Human I waste my time I have some worries I can’t stand myself

Dying Young 02:22
Slowly put on another record, spin Wait for the car to crash I've been waiting all my life For the bluebirds to return Jamming slowly with some friends Can you really see the sound If you do then you are free Free from the ocean I really want to run to heaven now but i'll just wonder in the wind Man I can't keep singing here Dying young would seal my place The ocean is so very deep You will surely drown See me standing in a lifeboat A guitar in hand Strum a little louder friend Sing your bleeding heart out Release your soul to them They truly deserve it I can't take this anymore People you gotta wake up Man I can't keep singing here Dying young would seal my place

Young Love 02:07
When you were young so much love in your heart Then you got older Your heart got colder But where did it start Young love, young love in your heart You've got, young love, young love in your heart Little boy and little girl all the time in the world The innocence, love made sense It was all we knew Young love, young love in your heart You've got, young love, young love in your heart When you were young nothing fell apart When you got older Your heart got colder everything turned to rot Young love, young love in your heart You've got, young love, young love in your heart

I was sitting in the back seat waiting for a long shot when you came around You with your long hair I stared into your green eyes your sad sad smile No we didnt talk much things were moving too fast Didn't matter to me You said we had to break up It really didn't hurt bad Cause your still there for me and i'll always be there for you and no matter what i do We are only friends but i love you Everytime I see you god i feel your sorrow Just if I could take half of it away Put it in a soup can mix it with some medicine Drink the whole damn thing Just to feel what you feel Split the pain between us Does it feel better now I'll be here forever Probably can't make it better But i'll give it a try and i'll always be there for you and no matter what i do We are only friends and im fine with that but i love you You know there is this one thing It is kind of crazy Would you give it a shot Run away with me babe I know we could be happy And that's all i want Met you in a dark place two lonely hearts ache You didn't feel a spark for me But There is this deep connection deeper then I have ever felt and i'll always be there for you and no matter what i do We are only friends but i love you I love you I love you and not just as a friend and i'll feel this till the end I love you I really do

I See Love 03:04
I see the sun rising over me I see the clouds passing through the trees I see my mom smiling back at me I see love I see the fog It astounds me I see the birds flying with the breeze I see my brother laughing at me I see love I feel the wind blow right through me I feel the sun it warms my body I feel your love it surrounds me I am loved I feel my soul’s too big for my body It’s going to burst right out of me Now what are we to do About that You see these people, they mean the world to me Just wanna tell em, how much they mean to me Even the ones, I don’t get to see Like I want
