numbers game 03:05
you play a numbers game did you know that you do? it won’t add up unless you’re true to what’s inside you you play a numbers game did you think that we knew? I can feel it happening soon can you feel it too? oh, the years and years come and go much faster now each new season every repeating occasion is part of the equation why = how we play a numbers game we’re only here for so long and if you can find even one to love that’s one thing you haven’t gotten wrong I’ve never been here before but I can go there again I hear the knock at the door but I wait ‘til they go away you play a numbers game did you know that you do? did you know you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to

it’s not that bad it’s just one sin once in awhile it’s just a little living one sin once in a while how ‘bout a little forgiving? one sin once in awhile I cannot see how it means that much to you to say you wouldn’t care to have it any other way I get that but I want to know why you wanted to stay you shouldn’t be mad it’s just one sin once in awhile the taking and the giving one sin once in a while now where’s that forgiving? one sin once in awhile I cannot hear the words that you say too many times I pray to many sides the human touch is immune to such one sin once in awhile a little rain never hurt no one
3.
even though I know how much you love me it doesn’t hurt to hear it even though I know how much you care it doesn’t hurt to hear it it doesn’t hurt to hear it no, it doesn’t hurt to hear it just when the blushing starts to fade we’ve got this honest moment saved why lovers never wait is the perfect tempt of fate even though you know how much I love you it doesn’t hurt to hear it even though you know how much I care it doesn’t hurt to hear it it doesn’t hurt to hear it no, it doesn’t hurt to hear it just when the gushing serenades we’ve got this loving moment bathed in mood light beaming equally down on the sinners and the saved

andi with an i I can’t take anymore I’m going outside andi with an i you tease just like candy falling from the sky andi with an i like candy from the sky like tears from your eye like rain andi with an i and he can’t deny andi with an i and he can’t rely you’re so certain with your assertions so pathetically competitive versus me you divert from your diversions you insert your insertions andi, it’s alive! andi with an i like sand in your eye like waking up half asleep still inside a dream
5.
I fell in love but didn’t know it right away so seldom when you’re in it it shows you how to stay I fell in love but didn’t I thought I knew what I wanted when I caught you in the sauna I know now what was missing the kissing and listening the funny way you heard what you thought I said I blurted out the sunny side of the street is where we’re likely to find our feet I fell in love but didn’t know it right away so seldom when you’re in it it shows you how to stay I fell in love but didn’t I fell in love but didn’t know just what to say it tells you what it isn’t but then it blows you away I fell in love but didn’t
6.
oh my god, I love that song toss me a microphone and I can sing along I know all the words by heart once it stops I’ll start it up again oh my god, that’s so my tune it’s the aural equivalent of perfume it lingers in the air it sweeps you up in leaps and bounds and stares am I asleep now? I can’t tell if I’m awake or if I fell sometimes all the love you bring is taken for granted the words you once recanted now you sing how we stay together when we’re apart how do we stay together when we’re apart? how do you write a letter from end to start? tell me how you write this letter from end to start? oh my god, I love that song you can play it again and again all night long

what about that guy? could he make a believer out you? is he as good as the next guy? or is the best part about him that he’s new? could he find you some saturday, alone in your room? or bring you chicken soup cooked up on the moon? or is this something you’ve already discovered on your own? I guess the assumption is he could love you ‘til he’s dead I guess the mistake might be that nothing’s real until it’s said and actions are responsible for the ones who do them they shape and shake you until you get through them or is this a feeling that you’re just acting on right now? because I know myself too well for every one who thinks you deserve your own life have never put it past the words, they might be right but of course they are for every one who sinks there’s one thousand still afloat for every one who drinks there’s one thousand who have willed the world their family coats and we thank them for every one who knows there’s something after this life there’s a million or so passing funeral pipes and the seeds of the grapes of delight for a one life life there’s always someone taking what belongs to the road there’s always someone making off with the purse of the old and finding secrets nobody ought to know they’re breaking the code

such a sad, such a sad such a sad positivity emanating physically through the emotionally fragile such a sad, such a sad such a sad positivity disseminating sexually through the socially agile such a sad state of affairs we’ve been living in nowadays you wonder how it pays to sell the gift you only give yourself such a sad, such a sad such a sad positivity emanating physically through the emotionally fragile such a sad, such a sad such a sad positivity disseminating sexually through the socially agile such a sad

crazy good 02:50
would that be crazy? yes, it would crazy good am I sometimes misunderstood? it’s understood I am crazy good sometimes you come, sometimes you stay all night sometimes you stay so far away sometimes it’s pain, sometimes it’s love sometimes it’s both at the same time sometimes you just want to be alone would that be crazy? yes, it would crazy good am I sometimes misunderstood? it’s understood I am crazy good would that be crazy? yes, it would crazy good

mesmerizing 02:58
I want to be the one who breaks up who takes up that space then to be the one who makes up a genuine embrace mesmerizing on the horizon I want to be the one who wakes up before the sun, next to you your guard is down, your mistakes up all the love you can do it’s all inside you I feel the urge and the earthquake right before I tell you you shouldn’t have them search the lake all they’ll find are signs and clues the pulse inside is true mesmerizing on the horizon mesmerizing in your eyes
11.
I want to do good stuff and yet it’s all mixed up I want to do bad stuff too I want to do good stuff I want to do good stuff sometimes it’s never enough when you’re mysteriously in love deliriously such you want to do good stuff it just depends on the rut you find yourself stuck in when the wind is blowing something lucky your way I want to do good stuff and yet it’s all mixed up I want to do bad stuff too I want to do good stuff all I want to do is good stuff but I want to do bad stuff too
12.
all you can do now is cry silent tears you’re never to speak my name again you can blame my friends all you want but they’ll never know you without me then every room is new again when you’re not around every word is true enough, I guess it makes the same sound as the ones that you want me to believe sounds like grounds to leave to me but please don’t leave it to me now can’t you see how it gets to be loud? all of the hope that I had now every room is new again when you’re not around every word is true enough, I guess it makes the same sound every note is blue or graced where there are shades of doubt no doubt they’ll show up on your face what we could live without
13.
the signal to brain is non-receiving the signal to brain is doubtless repeating the signal to brain the signal to brain it’s better believing the signal to brain will soon be leaving the signal to brain the red light turns to green but we don’t do anything the anger becomes serene but we don’t do anything
14.
why do you want to stay the course that no one stays the night without wanting to stay a little longer? it seems to me it’s not love you need but actually something much stronger I fully intended to tell you when you found out it certainly offends those who want no doubt you surely pretended to be surprised I failed to surmise you fully intended to pout why the long face when you’ve been told that you’ve just won one more night of defending the pretending that you’ve done I fully intended to tell you when you found out it certainly offends those who want no doubt you surely pretended to be surprised I failed to recognize you fully intended to pout I fully intended to tell you you fully defended my cell view I fully intended to tell you this emergency
15.
advertise it 01:45
pretty but pretty depressed and many memories repressed and I can tell you want something more something real, something pure but that’s when you’ve got to show us just a little bit less beauty is what beauty doesn’t know and yet you want us all to bathe in your glow the shy ones know the secret to the selective objective suggestion trumps the truth you’ve got it so made you’ve got it in spades you don’t have to advertise it you put us to shame you’re winning the game you don’t have to advertise it
16.
just become 01:46
as human beings we are stars as sentients we don’t know who we are just become the thing you want to be just become the thing you’d like to see as stars we are the world every boy and every girl just become the thing you want to be just become the thing you’d like to see just become
17.
why lovers never wait is ‘cause time seems to slow down when one’s around the other two worlds are theirs to discover all the love in the world combined with all of the hate would never eradicate the need to vindicate a winner integrate the beginners to their fate assimilate the sinners back into the crowd there’s safety in invisible just lie down now, irresistible why lovers never wait is ‘cause time seems to speed up when one heartbeat is needing another one is repeating why lovers never wait is ‘cause time seems to slow down when one’s around the other two worlds are theirs to discover how can you ever tell if there’s something wrong with yourself wouldn’t the mirror reveal the tell? and tell you something about yourself? you’ve known it all along now it’s frozen in a song it’s safe it only wants to belong to you and the running
