Coming On Up

It was a long dark lonely winter but it's
finally starting to change
I enjoy the new life that lights the way
as the springtime's turning the page
days are longer
sun is brighter
i feel the warmth in every fiber
We're coming up
(I am coming on up)
flowers in the spring
it's a brand new everything
(I am coming on up)
ya we're in luck
we've got baby ducks
thank god for the heat
it's just what i needed
cuz my world is spinning round and round
everything's new,
even the way i look at you
how'd you get so defeated?
i begged and pleaded...
I don't want it cold at all
I wanna go back to when it
felt good to fall
falling...
(I am coming on up)
coming on up, coming on up
and falling in love
(I am coming on up)
it's how you know it's spring,
you can hear the trumpets sing
days are warmer
sun is brighter
love and springtime just set me on fire!
coming up!!
(I am coming on up)
ad lips
(I am coming on up)
It's a new everything
and that's how you know it's spring

25 Years

She said 25 years to get on this plane
So she drank and she hollered and oh she complain
Her grandma had died, so then what ensued
A 25 year since, family reunion
One seat away, she sat next to me
And she wouldn’t shut up how there was no TV
She snuck in tequila where she packed her shampoo
And her worry she told me just “thank God for you”
“thank God for you because I know I can’t do it alone.
I’m trying not to bug you, I’m just anxious I can’t find my phone.
So just stick with me, you probably think I’m crazy, I’m just trying to get home.
And I don’t think I can do it alone”
So is the flight flew along, my eyes fell shut
But her voice, it grew louder and much more distraught
Perhaps other people, they got more annoyed,
As the innocent ears on the plane, she destroyed.
But for me, I got a little bit sad, that her predisposition predicted so bad.
Even this lady I didn’t know,
Was also afraid of being alone
thank God for you because I know I can’t do it alone.
I’m trying not to bug you, I’m just anxious I can’t find my phone.
So just stick with me, you probably think I’m crazy, I’m just trying to get home.
And I don’t think I can do it alone
I heard your whole story,
Feigning asleep
Is she fell down and down to a miserable heap
But she wasn’t bad or meant any harm, she just needed a friend and a comforting arm
I know she is there now braving her journey
Just hopefully now, she’s held by a family
thank God for you because I know I can’t do it alone.
I’m trying not to bug you, I’m just anxious I can’t find my phone.
So just stick with me, you probably think I’m crazy, I’m just trying to get home.
And I don’t think I can do it
Do you think that I can pull through it?
Thank God I’m not doing it alone
Thank God for you
Thank God for you

Last Mistake
03:12
|
|||
I washed a pen inside my pocket twice this month
I bit my lip where I had 'ready done it once
I'd like to fix all these mistakes mistaking me
When they keep on reminding just how human I can be
I locked my keys inside my car again
You better bet that they are safely trapped in the ignition
and now it's 2am and after the show
I'll use my daddy's tripple A and wait here in the snow, cuz
That's gonna be the last mistake, last mistake i ever make
from this moment on, my whoopsie-daisy-days are gone
cuz that was the last mistake
i swear my very last one
I sipped too soon my coffee 'fore it cooled down
left it 'top my car, forgot, and drove it to the ground
I made a promise to myself I'd be more chill
but my behavior shows my head is headed straight for Crazy-ville
I trusted men who took advantage, you see
thought that they could change me due their insecurity
so now i'm jaded cuz they left my broken heart
so not again will i play dumb to make a man feel smart.
That's gonna be the last mistake, last mistake i ever make
from this moment on, my whoopsie-daisy-days are gone
cuz that was the last mistake
i swear my very last one
when will i learn
when will i learn
when will i learn my lesson
my human qualities have got me second guessing
when will i learn
when will i learn to accept the help,
so i don't have to keep on burning myself
That's gonna be the last mistake, last mistake i ever make
That's gonna be the last mistake, last mistake i ever make
That's gonna be the last mistake, last mistake i ever make
(from this moment on) my whoopsie-daisy-days are gone
cuz that was the last mistake
no that was the last mistake
no that was the last mistake i'll ever make
(oop... nailed it.)
