Together

Like a page ripped out of a novel
doesn’t make much sense standing all alone
A conductor of a choir
Is just a crazy man waving his hands standing on his own
What happens when pages form a story
War and Peace, Great Gatsby, Brave New World
And what happens when a leader guides a group
Voices lift spirits drift into the groove
People coming together
People dreaming about a better world that could be
People singing together
Making music to change the course of humanity
People coming together
We are stronger when we unite
A single polyester bristle
dipped in paint but it ain’t making much
Like a washed up piece of drift wood
covered in moss cutting across all beat up
What happens when bristles form a brush?
Claude Monet, Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh
What happens when a craftsman grabs some wood
A new guitar’s repertoire understood
People coming together
People dreaming about a better world that could be
People singing together
Making music to change the course of humanity
People coming together
We are stronger when we unite
People singing side by side
we are stronger when we unite

Well tonight is the big setup
You brought some fire but I didn’t light up
Had a lot to say but didn’t say much
At all, no
Your tabloids while i’m periodical
Shifted pace to wrap it up
But it went on and on and on
when it was through
I went in the other room
Don’t take it personal
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you
I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you
I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
7 numbers on a napkin, all tore up
Tried to be polite but you didn’t let up
Ain’t no other move, but to throw in the towel, on you
But in the pages i’m listed, and that’s where you twisted
You left a message on my tape machine
I was in the other room
Don’t take it personal
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you
I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you
I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
Ease up
Sometimes too much is too much girl
But you never really know

Repetition
03:28

tonight we’ve reached the end of conversation
patience
is wavering
but can we try a new negotiation
let me
take it
I will lift you over
swing you up
kiss your neck
make you forget why
I will grab you closer
hold you so
you can’t think of anything but us
Love is repetition
Of love
when you see my heart is getting colder
come a little closer
be a little bolder
you are my devotion
every day you inspire everything that’s us
you hold my emotion
i won't stop
making sure
that your heart stays full
Love is repetition
Of love

Take allotta sweat
to get wet
Take allotta heat
to get neat
5 o’clock in the morning
Gonna wake you up
See what’s up
I’m contemplating condensation
And that’s what’s up
Cuz i can’t get enough
It’s so Lovely what you rain you rain you rain down on me
You’re always thinking of me when you’re down you’re down you’re down for me
And that’s how we like it to be
Wanna make you wanna sweat
Wanna get you all wet
I wanna feel the heat
Wrestle in the sheets
Total satisfaction guaranteed
When I see your body them pheromones be hanging up all on me
They make me crazy you see
I’m gonna make you wanna sweat
I’m gonna get you wet
Gonna make you feel the heat
Play it on repeat
Take allotta sweat
to get wet’
Take allotta heat
to get neat

Aim High

dance floor’s jumping got me moving my head
But I’m still stuck by the door
Tossing my coat let it all go
Gotta try (3x)
First day jitters got you clutching your bag
No one knows your name
Swap a high five you have arrived
Gotta try (3x)
Aim high
Waiting for your coffee at the corner cafe
waitress baby gives you the eye
you wanna say yes so you leave your address
Gotta try
Aim high
stepping it up
living it up
giving it up
getting it up
turning me on
getting it on
nobody’s wrong
Looking at John
Aim high

Smash

You’re my arena
I’m your rule
You’re my athena
So what you’re gonna do?
Bring out the lions
This is war
When we smash
You’re my chaos
I’m your storm up in the sky
our light is blinding
black out the night when we collide
Countdown, to blast
3-2-1, When we smash

On the bus she’s staring
you might say a bit too long
she missed her stop, but ain't no thing
She just wrote her very first song
She's late to work but it don’t matter
Head’s in the clouds she’s doing fine
That old boss can’t pull her down
She’s floating up and staying high
All these expectations
Rules and regulations
Always keeping us in line
Inside every story
Heard in a melody
You will find that getting lost is getting free
We are taking back daydreaming
Let you know when we’re back from where our minds just had to go
Daydreaming
in the flow
We don’t need reality
it’s all for show
Drifting away in the office
While everyone’s in the grind
Ain’t no job gonna weigh me down
I can go anywhere in my mind
All these expectations
Rules and regulations
Always keeping us in line
We are taking back daydreaming
Let you know when we’re back from where our minds just had to go
Daydreaming
in the flow
We don’t need reality
it’s all for show

these two feet they got a mind of their own
don’t need direction they know where to go
wanna get new scuffs on these old soles
making ground in my home town
where sticky wet heat slicks the concrete
But it ain’t gonna stop them from moving
these feet ain’t got no body
these feet ain’t got no one
these feet ain’t got no body
but these feet still know how to have fun
2nd street and Figuro’
Liberate and lift my soul
Cast from the street lamps someone else wants this dance
But who is anyone when i got moves
Solo down in my home town
no running out the clock got this on lock
Ain’t gonna stop them from moving
these feet ain’t got no body
these feet ain’t got no one
these feet ain’t got no body
but these feet still know how to have fun
(2x)
BRIDGE
Oh Oh
Got no body
Ain’t got no body

Friends they talk a lot
But we know what we got
We got more than just a little thing
> More than just a little thing
But in the common tongue
They’d say she was sprung
She wants more than just a little thing
More than just a little thing
It’s alright tonight
Cuz we gonna be untight
About more than just a little thing
Ain’t no need to sneak
I can’t help but see
dadadadadadadadad
You caught me baby
Making eyes at you
I know it may sound crazy
But she was staring at you too
Yeah she caught us baby
And we’ll be keeping her in view
With a little luck
There gon be some love
Wohhhh
Let’s make this fantasy
A reality
Woooahhhhh
Dadadadadadadada
You caught me baby (you caught me baby)
Making eyes at you
I know it may sound crazy
But she was staring at you too
Yeah she caught us baby
And we’ll be keeping her in
In our private quarters
taking orders
Change it up tonight
Inside private quarters
All the feels we need
You caught me baby
Making eyes at you
You caught us baby
Doing like we do
Gonna keep it sweaty
Getting in the groove
Yeah you caught us baby
Feeling in the mood
We got caught we got caught we got caught yeah

So Damn in Love

A late December night and i’m thinking of you
Been holed up in the right kind of city to do
some soul searching
and some time away to think
i am learning what is keeping me on the ground
I’m so damn in love with you
I want my life for only you
I will keep you inside my vacant heart
i will meet you over on your side
every time
we can start the night with some romance
we finish off the wine and we slow dance
for a moment nothing else exists
i am certain whenever i taste your lips
that
Chorus
Oh giving up is easy
but i would never quit you
you’re the tracks to my streetcar
when i’m lost you’re my north star
I thought I needed more
to satisfy myself
I thought if I could be rich
I could buy my way out
but the money flowed
it was never enough
happiness is giving in to someone you love
I’m so damn in love with you
I want my life for only you
I will keep you inside my vacant heart
i will meet you over on your side
every time
