Underneath the river down below Lies a place that’s skeletal I can hide but I can’t find Find the answers in my mind If there’s liars in my head Singing songs with shades of red Pull me out the safety pin Watch it all just crumble in Stick and stones could easily break my bones But your words can build my home If I can ask you one more thing Give it time, give me time ‘Cause I have always been too late Running round and round in faith With twisted tongues I sit and wait Until the day may come But sweetly, I couldn’t change the life I knew But maybe, next life will be the one that’s true And I see, but I don’t believe, I can’t see, no… Yesterday was a memory to free A dance of promises to be And heaven, heaven only knows Where do I go, where do I go? Do these stairs lead up or down Or do they run around and 'round With glasses broken on the ground How can home be found? But sweetly, I couldn’t change the life I knew But maybe, next life will be the one with you And I see, but I don’t believe, I can’t see, no…

Hopscotch Birdie flew off today Got lost in the wind with no place to stay Grounded, she’s always skipping about Tweeting and singing, all over town Hopscotch Birdie, I miss you around Clumsy little bird with your head in the moon You’re missing all the worms, waking up past noon Crazier than when I found you, you crazy little loon Whenever I wake up early in the morning I miss the song that you’d normally sing Whenever I go home late into the night I think about you and if you’re alright And if ever you do decide to come back With broken wings or a broken sad heart I’ll be here waiting to tend all your wounds Hopscotch Birdie, come back soon

Another lazy raining soothing morning trickling down my window bay Should I stay home today? Just be a bum that way? Well I’ve got the Rainy Morning Blues Getting out of bed will be my greatest act of bravery today Is that alarm still buzzing? Annoyingly persistent! Just snooze five minutes more away Not crazy enough to leave this warm and cozy beautiful old blanket And face the morning coldness I’d rather dream than do this And listen to the raindrops falling down Wake Up Sleep In Well I’m sleeping in today Suppose I should be studying ‘cause I am falling fast behind Textbooks don’t read themselves But TV needs my help I owe it for shaping up my mind Procrastinating everyday will make a better life tomorrow So don’t get up so soon I guess it’s only normal We all get the Rainy Morning Blues I don’t know Do you? Will you let me know?

When the clock hits twelve tonight And the sun rises Another candle will be lit for you And shine through the night All your friends gather to see you To celebrate your day And they sing: ‘’Happy Birthday to you’’ ‘’Happy Birthday to you’’ Champagne, gifts and little songs Just for you Big smiles in the hour after Because of you Forget your troubles and just listen Can you hear us? As we sing: ‘’Happy Birthday to you’’ ‘’Happy Birthday to you’’ Oh, pesty little thoughts What will be, will be What we’ll be, we’ll see Close, close your eyes and rest Slip into a dream Dream yourself to sleep Please don’t you just fall down When you have so much and You don’t know how lucky you are But for now, but for now Before you leave me I just wanted to say: Happy Birthday to you

October fell so sweetly Brought upon a light from you to me All thoughts and fear, they melt away Your head on my shoulder, I don’t feel astray Tongue tied, but I’ll try, in East side, I don’t know why I have to impress you and to you, I gotta prove All the things I’m not, all the things you thought Before you let me go, before you let me go. I sought in hand the feel of your face Not unlike your smile, there’s no mistake Up upon the hill, you used to wait To you I’m just a lark, a jester away Numbers are falling, up away, I’ll run away Under the surface, there’s more than I can say I’m right before your eyes, right before your eyes Only to watch you go, only to watch you go. Sometimes the feelings creep back in my head All the things I’ve said, and all the things unsaid I lost a few of my closest friends Just to be without you in the end World wide collapse, city walls in fume Still all I do, I do think of you But my love is fraught, and useless in thought Just emptiness to hold, just emptiness to hold My love is one that weighed me down Though I felt it all, it was placed with doubt Years flow on by, all lost in stream And my best days with you, all distant dreams My love was one that weighed me down Though I felt it all it was placed with doubt Years fall apart all lost in stream My best days with you, all distant dreams
