The World Will Spin

And then I’m so tired that I forget to stop
But even from the bottom I’ll pretend to see the top
Chorus:
I could take a little breather
But the truth is I don’t want to
Or hold out just a little longer
But it turns out I don’t need to
Cause what I’ve learned is
What I’ve learned is
What I’ve learned is
You don’t even have to move
The world will spin
The world will spin
Round and round and round for you
Sometimes you swallow and sometimes you eat
Either way it all tastes the same to me
Some things will cost you and some things are free
Either way I’ll pay the price happily
I don’t even have to know what I’m looking for
As long as I can still get it in time
In my hand before I even knew I wanted more
The best part is knowing for a moment it’s mine
Chorus
I could have a talk with Jesus
But I don’t have that much to say
Or maybe try and find myself
But I can wait another day
I could try a little harder
But the truth is I don’t want to
Or hold out just a little longer
But it turns out I don’t need to
Cause what I’ve learned is
What I’ve learned is
What I’ve learned is
You don’t even have to move
The world will spin
The world will spin
Round and round and round for you

So Tell Me Why

LYRICS:
There’s a fire when you kiss me
Space between my feet and earth when you kiss me
Hold fast shadows
Blood red moon eclipse the sky
Can we sit and just be quiet?
Not fill the space with sound
Can we sit and share the air?
So tell me why’d you come when we both agreed that
Nothing good can come of this?
So tell me why am I staying when it’s time to go?
Hey dynamite, is it over?
I've got a mind to light a match, is it over?
Fuse burns shorter
4-3-2-1
And I keep thinking that just one more round will be good enough
But you break me when I let you
One more chance to say hello needs to be our chance to say no more You’re making sure it takes forever to forget you
There’s a fire when you kiss me
Brilliant bolt of lightning
So tell me why’d you come?
It’s time to go

Midnight Swimming

You set something wild and wicked into motion baby
You pulled all the moons and planets out of orbit baby
Can you tell I can tell that you like me?
Let's make time stand still
If I’m wrong that’s okay because you don’t know and you never will
Midnight swimming
If you like it
We can pull our clothes off and leave them behind
Skinny dipping
If you want it
hot tonight, hold hands tight, it's just right, let’s jump in
Reflected stars swim right below our waists
You’re too far or too close I can’t say
Floating, gazing into your eyes deeply so you’ll stay
Seconds ticking, staring contest I can’t look away
Midnight swimming
if you like it
we can both get wet with wild abandon
Skinny dipping
if you want it
Stay until the moon sets and sun rises again
Oh, let’s jump in
You set something wild and wicked into motion baby

Take as Needed
04:00

My compass leads me to peregrinate
Why so blue? You do you:
dissipate.
Too invested so I'd better go.
Hit the road. New venture.
Boastful gesture.
My journey crackles bright. Mere circumstance.
I choose flight. Dodge a fight. Ditch that dance.
The directions read "Take as needed"
Feel the speed. Barren dream.
Ride my slipstream.
You'll do in a pinch, but I
can't give you my word
I'll be here tomorrow.
Please don't be so absurd.
I'm wearing road grays and you know I won't stay.
Gimme a line I ain't already heard.
You shake and stir me.
My wheels fling wads of mud, spinning on repeat.
Sweetest bud, once beloved: obsolete.
Imitation of enduring love,
if only, but.
What could be?
Won't you believe me?

Dark Eyes
03:26

I’ve read through volumes of Shakespeare
and I’ve learned about fate
It’s time for acting boldly
Before it’s too late
See me fair, bewitched and foolish
Drawn to the light of our paradise
And then after this ends comes our new beginning
Just lend me your dark eyes so I can see what you want
I’ve pored through pages of sad prose
fleeting remedy
With foolish courage I jump off
fall triumphantly
Rains poured down and deep seas were burdened
And snowflakes fell on burning cheek
And then after this ends comes our new beginning
Just lend me your dark eyes so I can see what you want
Do you know what you want?
Through a mirror I see our reflection
Joining slipping down we go
Down we go
I’ve let peace mend my sad heart
And learned to forgive
Sigh the smoke and fumes of new love
I might as well live
See me fair, bewitched and foolish
Drawn to the light of our paradise
and now here at the end comes a new beginning
I’ve seen through your dark eyes and now I know what you want
Rains poured down and deep seas were burdened
And snowflakes fell on burning cheek
And now here at the end comes a new beginning
I’ll lend you my dark eyes
So you can see what I want
Do you know what you want? ‘cause I know what I want

Sunbeams

Haven't we met before?
I know you, though you might not recall.
Let's head for a fall.
Sunbeams dance in fancy flights with reflections of just you.
Aren't you quite restless?
I feel you, firm as smooth gabardine.
Hasten fresh daydreams.
Sunbeams dance in fancy flights with reflections of us two.
Can I believe you're here to stay?
Isn't this familiar?
A push-pull, you can't go anywhere.
Don't be so unfair.
Sunbeams cut through pulled curtains, cast faint shadows of us two.
Show me it's all okay.
Tale unfolding in black and white
through a jittered projector.
Contrite, I'm a jittered projector.
Have I told you lately, "don't go"?
Swallow me whole.
Aren't you so charming?
Delightful, standing there in your shades? Cold, silent tirades.
Can't you find the words to assure me I'm the fairest of all? Say so on my wall.
But no, but there's no bottom nearing.
There's only tomorrrow's numbing sunbeams.
Aren't you quite helpless?
I feel you, sheer and silken gray.
Can you, will you, do you
believe a word I say?
Won't you cast your eclipse?
I'd rather be an addict than be in pain.
