that's me reflected in your sunglasses,
hair all crazy
smiles all wavy
that's the kite flying above us both,
keeping a distance
staying a float
that's sunshine pouring out of our eyes
that's sunshine pouring down from the skies
that's the ice-cream dripping down the cone
all over my hands
that's the funny looking hat
on the funny looking man
i know your leaving but let's just say
you can call me if you ever have a rainy day
I wouldn't trade our fun in the sun
with nothin' else
nowhere
no one

pink & blue
Impulses run through deeper veins
No time for clean-up
They generously leave lover-stains
Kind of like Pollock's paintings
Splattered all pink and blue
Like the ones you often tell me "move" you
Impulses aren't strong
But neither are the weak
Often leaving a picture
Of a future so bleak
They only come to go
But they leave us much
Taking away certainty
Giving us back a dated crutch
Impulses are generous
Just like you
You see you're just an impulse
Tattered all pink and blue
You steal serenity
Always so unsure
and in return for peace-of-mind
You hand out the cure
A paragon of perfection
What a beautiful mess
They leave you lonely
They leave you distressed
They have no mercy
They leave you thin
And just like you
Impulses stand on fragile limbs
Trust me
You and your impulses are more easily broken than you know
Try to undo the damage,
and then it will show
Like everything, your impulses beat you
time and time again
If you could see the power they hold over you
You wouldn't trust them, my friend.

Let It Show
Let it show, let it grow, nobody has to know
The quicker i do it, the more it comes out right
Some things just aren't meant to be kept up-tight
The more you let me, the better it sounds
Instead of us going round and round
And round and round and round we go
The more i think, the less I know
The worse it feels, the less it shows
The longer you ponder, the longer you wander
Hello, HELLO!
You're doing it all the wronger
The less i think the more i know
The more I know, the less it slows
The less it slows, the quicker i do it,
Somethings
You gotta just get right to it
The quicker i do it, the more it comes out right
Some things just aren't meant to be kept up-tight
The more you let me, the better it sounds
Instead of us going round and round
And round and round and round we go
The more i think, the less I know
The worse it feels, the less it shows
The longer you ponder, the longer you wander
Hello, HELLO!
You're doing it all the wronger
The less i think the more i know
The more I know, the less it slows
The less it slows, the quicker i do it,
Somethings
You gotta just get right to it
