Keep Moving On With Our Own Lives
Sonically sounds like this.

Moving on soon...

In a perfect world, me and you are so close I feel your touch, I hear your voice, that's what I want the most

But if we start to crunch numbers ''Are we too old? Are we too far?'' But if we do the arithmetic ''How old are we? How far are we?''

I just start to grow up While he is settling down Different heights My head...is in the clouds He's on solid ground But we'll keep moving on with our own lives Though I wanted you all of my life Forever, ever and a night

I was at a stalemate He moved to the breeze He stands on his two feet While I'm brought to my knees

And if we start to figure out the dates Am I too late? Is it too soon? And if we figure out the time Is it too late? Please come on soon

I just start to look down While he starts to climb up Different heights I'm on the...solid ground As he moves mountains But we'll keep moving on with our own lives Though I wanted you all my life I thought we would be alright

I hold on to what ifs He says whatever I hold on to what ifs But its whatever

[Instrumental]

And for once, we have come to an understanding We're on the same level We're on the same landing And we keep moving on with our own lives And end the strain and strife I wanted you all my life... (And now you're here)

[Instrumental]

Bombings
Sounds like this sonically.

[Instrumental]

Just a little I sense A little bit of condescendence That's how know you feel nothing for me lately As always I blame it on me

You were supposed to love me You were supposed to care Put no one else above me You said you wouldn't dare So what changed your mind and your heart... ...and everything else

( Insecure, accusatory, victim, stop )

How does it feel when the ( bombs ) blow in your head And you're filled with rage And you're filled with dread How does it feel with shrapnel Of a shattered heart and a twisted mind

You were my everything Especially when I needed something Give me attention and love but no you gave me nothing You leave me behind as I'm languishing

Weren't you the crazy Wasn't I just wrong Now the details get hazy...

( Anger, blame games, dramatics, stop )

How does it feel with the ( bombs ) blown in your head And you're filled with rage And you're filled with dread How does it feel in the aftermath Of a shattered heart and a twisted mind

Everyone's turn their backs on me They all hate me Even though...it's not my fault Everyone's abandoned me Lost interest But I won't rest Until I get them back... ...in my war

How does it feel when the bombs blow in your head And you're filled with hate And you feel dead How does it feel it all burn Your shattered heart and your shattered mind

[Instrumental]

Marigold Mornings
Sonically sounds like this.

Marigold...

Marigold...

Marigold...

See What had happened Was that my world was stuck in night All I had were dark skies Not even one hint of twilight

Then you came along And you brought me the sunlight And with your warmth You dragged me into the light

Marigold mornings Complete with the sunrise Wake up in the morning And all see in sunshine

Wait I didn't tell you how much You really meant to me I could never thank you enough Don't you believe me

Damn What happened you appeared My sadness disappeared I could never thank you enough So won't you stay with me here

See What had happened Was that my world was black and white Monochrome with no love No sign of life even in sight

Then you came along And you splash paint all on me And with your vibrance I could see life differently

Marigold mornings Complete with golden sunrise Wake up in the morning And all see in gold sunshine

Marigold mornings Complete with golden sunrise Wake up in the morning And all see in gold sunshine

Wait I didn't tell you how much That you really mean to me I could never thank you enough I hope you believe me

Damn What happened when you arrive My whole world comes alive I could never thank you enough So please baby stay with me

Please baby stay with me Please baby stay with me Please baby stay with me Please baby stay with me

You got me waking up in marigold mornings

You got me waking up in marigold mornings

Idyllic
Sonically sounds like this.

You awoken me With a kiss It feels good to be alive like this

You're my sweet sunrise You're my sunny day You're my blue and white sky My April and May

And if we played outside And felt the breezy air Fresh and crisp and brisk as it Flows through our hair And we say nothing but green From the grass and leaves We fall in a field of flowers on our knees

You guide me, holding my hand A picnic we have near a lemonade stand

You're my walk in the park You're my pastel colors You're my scent of lavender Tulips and primrose

And if we played outside And felt the breezy air Fresh and crisp and brisk as it Flows through our hair And we say nothing but green From the grass and leaves We fall in a field of flowers on our knees

(Ad-libs) You're my March, April, and May You're my sunshine You're my rain showers of joy You are all mine

And if we played outside And felt the breezy air Fresh and crisp and brisk as it Flows through our hair And we say nothing but green From the grass and leaves We fall in a field of flowers on our knees

And if we played outside And felt the breezy air Fresh and crisp and brisk as it Flows through our hair And we say nothing but green From the grass and leaves We fall in a field of flowers on our knees

[Instrumental]

Industry Pop
Sonically sounds like this.

[Instrumental]

Let's pluck somebody off the street Let's make him over, he'll look neat He's a star He'll go far

Industry pundits says he'll flop But I think he's the next king of pop Honestly He's pop royalty

Industry pundits says he'll flop But I think he's the next king of pop Honestly He's pop royalty

AutoTune my heart and Melodyne my mind Because good strong, talented man is so hard to find Pitch correct my thoughts and GSnap me back in shape So I can get closer to you despite the cassette red tape

So what if he goes so off-key As long as he is making much money Awards are for whores

Billboard and the OCC Will make his singles so damn happy Honestly I'm all for bribery

AutoTune my heart and Melodyne my mind Because good strong, talented man is so hard to find Pitch correct my thoughts and GSnap me back in shape So I can get closer to you despite the cassette red tape

[Instrumental]

If you certify my heart of gold How was my soul sold And if you I'd gone platinum My my, I've gone numb

It's the rise and fall and rise of me on the chart I make singles and albums and hits, not just work of art

AutoTune my heart and Melodyne my mind Because good strong, talented man is so hard to find Pitch correct my thoughts and GSnap me back in shape So I can get closer to you despite the cassette red tape

AutoTune my heart and Melodyne my mind Because good strong, talented man is so hard to find Pitch correct my thoughts and GSnap me back in shape So I can get closer to you despite the cassette red tape

Love the industry

Why Can't I Be Your Husband?
Sonically sounds like this.

[Instrumental]

I always wanted you like Christmas morning I didn't care you were his I always thought you very engaged All I wanted was your kiss

What happened next was my favorite accident Your love was the best mistake In bed and behind his back, we had incidents If that's what you call the love we'd make

I fell in love You fell in love You pushed away and said enough From relations to romance All I wanted was a chance

Why can't I Why can't I Why can't I be your husband? Why can't I Why can't I Why can't I be your husband?

Why can't I, why can't I, why can't I...

Since you went away and married him on the shore In a white dress I wanted you more With diamond ring and gold band on your finger I could love you better

Wish you would divorce him I wish you would divorce him

Remember when you would call me late at night Crying 'cause nothing was right You'd come over and I'd comfort alright Did so in bed 'til sunlight

I gave you a son I gave you a daughter But you sent hopes right to the slaughter Said you were done You had your fun I won't accept I'm not the one

Why can't I Why can't I be your husband? Why can't I Why can't I Why can't I be your husband?

Why can't I, why can't I, why can't I...

Since you went away and married him in Vegas What happens stays there You break my heart with no care With a gold band on your finger I could marry you better

Wish you would divorce him I wish you would divorce him

Why can't I Why can't I be your husband? Why can't I Why can't I Why can't I be your husband?

Why can't I, why can't I, why can't I...

Who Do You Love?

 * [Whitney Houston cover]
 * [Spotify bonus track]

Sounds exactly like this.

[Instrumental]

Who...do you love, do you love, love, love Who...do you love, do you love

I got a feeling you're the girl for me I bet your love can set me free I feel a love thing coming on It started weak then got oh so strong

Strong enough to rock the world Straight up I want you to be my girl So I keep praying to the stars above That it's me who you're gonna love

Am I the one? Is he the one?

Who do you love?

Who do you love? I wanna know Could it be me Won't you tell me so Who do you love You've got to say Don't want to go Why can't I stay

I keep pushing so you'll be mine We'll be loving baby over time My sensitivity gets so high It keeps me dreaming that I'm your guy

Then I have to stop and check myself Could it be that you love someone else I can't give in to jealousy So touch me now if you love me

Am I the one? Is he the one? Who do you love? Am I the one? Is he the one? Who do you love? Am I the one? Is he the one? Who do you love? Am I the one? Is he the one? Who do you love?
