You

I know it was you.
In the restaurant, waving your hands just like you do, wearing that dress that you wore for me before.
You concert date was duly noted, An alibi but wheres the motive. I just wanted you to be clear with me.
You know it wasn't dark in there there, in fact my eyes they could(Can) see clear, all the colors of you deception.
I know it was you.
There you go again changing the subject, shaking your head, like it's time for bed, but I'll still remember in the morning.
So many cars out there (It)could be a mistake, but your face behind the wheel I can't escape, and you drove me right into the corner.
Some body else he also saw, now I know him better than before, and I wish best to you both.
But I know it was you.
I know it was you.
I know it was you.
When I was 21, This would have broke my little world, But you know I've been through this before.
And I am still a fan, I feel the need to stick around. With me it's about bringing something to table.
You know isn't dark in there here, in fact my eyes they can see clear, There's no need for this to be a situation.
But I know it was you.
I know it was you.

Well you seem so angry while looking at me through those thin metal bars.
And ruffling feathers so literally Is not the fate of these stars.
Cause your so good at listening
You('ve) got such a great ear.
You're so good at listening, so listen to me.
Don't put the birdcage back on.
Don't put the birdcage back on.
And flavor Ice only has limited flavors but some things never get old.
While screwing around at four in the morning could be the end of us all.
Cause your so good at listening
You('ve) got such a great ear.
You're so good at listening, so listen to me.
Don't put the birdcage back on.
Don't put the birdcage back on.
But i swear I would't change it at all.
Isn't that what friends are for.
So take your time. But let me please remind.
That Angry birds only fly so far.
And yes I appreciate it when you push me.
And I want to hear you out.
Were birds of a feather. Unsung together.
Somethings holding us back.
And you've come such a long way.
Your not a phony or a fake.
But I will remind you as you hesitate
Don't put the birdcage back on
Don't put the birdcage back on.
But i swear I would't change it at all.
Isn't that what friends are for.
So take your time. But let me please remind.
That Angry birds only fly so far.
Cause your so good at listening
You('ve) got such a great ear.
You're so good at listening, so listen to me.
Don't put the birdcage back,
Don't put the birdcage back,
Don't put the birdcage back on.

You may have missed the little signals they were really kinda subtle.
But I think you'll get the message in a while.
I don't care for your situation, or excuses of the nation.
It looks like your never gonna learn.
Don't you know that a little respect could go a long long way.
Blow out your candles, eat your cake, and act your age.
I don't know what rules you play by... but if we play today.
There is something I just have to say.
Please may I have this dance with you.
I'm old enough to ask now, and you better believe I'll follow through.
I'd don't need to justify, when I could just talk to you.
It took a while to get this point of view.
Don't you know that a little respect could go a long long way.
Blow out your candles, eat your cake, and act your age.
Because lipstick, thighs, and batting eyes don't make a lady compromise(d).
So just think about just what her sweet daddy would do to you.
Please may I have this dance with you.
I'm old enough to ask now, and you better believe I'll follow through.
I'd don't need to justify when I could just talk to you.
It took a while to get this point of view.
Lady you can disregard my stature.
If that's all your really after.
And baby you have such nice face, so why use it in such disgrace.
It looks like your never gonna learn.
And don't you know that a little respect could go a long long way.
Blow out your candles, eat your cake, and act your age.
I don't know what rules you play by... but if we play today.
There is something I just have to say.
Please may I have this dance with you.
I'm old enough to ask now.
And you better believe I'll follow through.
I'd don't need to justify when I could just talk to you.
It took a while to get this point of view. (x3)
It took a while but now I'm here with you.

The Cactus Song

This is how the story goes... Oh who am I kidding now you already know.
Cause it's all out in the streets... All our dirty sheets.
But there are things that they don't know... Like the amount of times I told you just to blow your nose.
And you just had to sniff it in and choke upon yourself.
But what do I know.
Like you originally said I should have left you alone.
But I just could't help myself.
And you looked like you needed a wash and a good home.
There were red flags.
I should have know.
Like the amount of times you almost killed yourself walking home.
And I just wished tragedy would give you one night off.
It probably didn't
But I left because your love was like a cactus.
Every time I held you tighter, time I held you tighter.
Those spikes they cut right through.
So I choose loving me over loving you.
And I left because your love was like a cactus
Every time I held you tighter, time I held you tighter.
No good would come about.
And that's why I had to get out.
Back to the show
And all those things that everyone knows.
From the time you called them all just to tell them who I was.
In reality you set me free.
Showed me who I could't trust and that I should just be free.
And I still wish tragedy would give you one night off.
It probably didn't
But I left because your love was like a cactus.
Every time I held you tighter, time I held you tighter.
Those spikes they cut right through.
So I choose loving me over loving you.
And I left because your love was like a cactus
Every time I held you tighter, time I held you tighter.
No good would come about.
And that's why I had to get out.
And then one day in June a baby cactus began to bloom.
Out of that pot you wore when we used to share a room.
And Oh how I did stare. Those baby fingers with prickly hairs.
It was so beautiful and it reminded me of you.
And how I left because your love was like a cactus.
Every time I held you tighter, time I held you tighter.
Those spikes they cut right through.
So I choose loving me over loving you.
And I left because your love was like a cactus
Every time I held you tighter, time I held you tighter.
No good would come about.
And that's why I had to get out.
Next time you straighten your hair.
Why don't you take of all those spikes you wear.
And admit that sometimes lives not fair.
But you can be like you adore.
And bring peace inside your door.
Even though I I left because your love was like a cactus.
Every time I held you tighter, time I held you tighter.
Those spikes they cut right through.
So I choose loving me over loving you.
And I left because your love was like a cactus
Every time I held you tighter, time I held you tighter.
No good would come about.
And that's why I had to get out.
So please excuse me while I pull these spikes out.

Mellow Phone

Morning has passed many times but the feelings remain
But it would be silly to look at our lives now the same
And the pills that I swallow don't fix
All the memories of you that I miss
So Fresh... It still Glows
So Fresh... But A long time ago
I thought that when we got older then things would just fit
But judging my your current status I think that's a miss
All the mint in the work would't fix
The bad taste that is left due to this.
So Fresh... It still Grows
So Fresh... But A long time ago
I still remember talking to you on your mellow phone
Before Cellular and Social Media
I should have told you so
Cause I thought that when we got older then things would just Fit
But if I could change that then I would change Monday to Saturday
And I still get somewhat angry
That no photo of you looks ugly
At least... to me
So Fresh
So Fresh
So Fresh
But A long time ago.

Blue

Onwards we push into the night. The city lights they look so bright
And our lights they are shining too. On the wheels we made we push on through
Right by the river rolling through and we wish we brought a canoe.
But our friend right here doesn't swim. That ok for him we'll jump on in.
And all these colors... Really kill my blue.
For I see only friends here. I can feel the love shining through.
I know your favorite color. Yours is purple, her's is peach, and It kills my blue.
It Really Kills my, Really Kills my, It Really Kills my Blue
It Really Kills my, Really Kills my, It Really Kills my fucking Blue
I wish I had my dog here too, oh all the things he'd love to chew.
But Mr. Toby he won't chill, he'd eat your mother If he had his will.
Then I heard Mr. Spock just died. Lived long and prospered, Testified.
With his friend like Bones and Jim. Illogical to say he didn't win.
And all these these colors... really kills my blue.
For I see only friends here. I can feel the love shining through.
I know your favorite color. Yours is purple, her's is peach, and It kills my blue.
It Really Kills my, Really Kills my, It Really Kills my Blue
It Really Kills my, Really Kills my, It Really Kills my fucking Blue
The snow's too thick for us to ride. Not all of us have four wheel drive.
And like the seasons we have changed. Toby's even having better days.
But when I saw you the other day I did notice how you looked so grey
As for the details, no need to say, I just don't want you to feel this way
And take these these colors... Let them kill your blue.
For I see only friends here. I can feel the love shining through.
I know your favorite color. Yours is purple, her's is peach, and It kills my blue.
It Really Kills my, Really Kills my, It Really Kills my Blue
It Really Kills my, Really Kills my, It Really Kills my fucking Blue

For Goodness Sake
03:41

If it was Heartbreak that brought you here
Then it's love that'll bring you back
So take a hold of my heart strings and don't give any slack
That pain inside that you despise
Is Love you need to realize
It's for your sake, It's for my sake, It's for goodness sake.
It's for your sake, It's for my sake, It's for goodness sake.
Instead of pointing fingers they should be combing through your hair.
I'll find all those little things that you may not know are there.
There is no thing you could do that would make you fall from grace.
And I don't mind when you give me Renee Zelwiger face.
If it was Heartbreak that brought you here
Then it's love that'll bring you back
So take a hold of my heart strings and don't give any slack
That pain inside that you despise
Is Love you need to realize
It's for your sake, It's for my sake, It's for goodness sake
It's for your sake, It's for my sake, It's for goodness sake
Now I could pain a picture but I'd prefer to be the brush
My bristles will react precisely to your every touch
And if you want the world to see then I'll show you transparency
And if you want some privacy then lets close the door shall we
If it was Heartbreak that brought you here
It's love that'll bring you back.
If it was Heartbreak that brought you here
Then it's love that'll bring you back
If it was Heartbreak that brought you here
Then it's love that'll bring you back
It's for your sake, It's for my sake, It's for goodness sake.
It's for your sake, It's for my sake, It's for goodness sake.
Don't just use your hands
Don't just use your head
Don't just use your eyes to see
Use your heart with me
Don't just use your hands
Don't just use your head
Don't just use your eyes to see
Use your heart with me
Ok now go ahead and use your hands a little more
Wrap your head around this we could have it all
Just use your heart
If it was heartbreak that brought you here
If it was heartbreak that brought you here
If it was heartbreak that brought you here
Then it's Love that'll bring you back.(x8?)
Grab ahold it will bring you back
Its only way to stop these little heart attacks
that are pulling me away from you
And I'll say it again but it's time to choose
It never did anything wrong to you
And If turned away well you can still be in the mood
Its Love.
Its for goodness sake
