Jason Mraz Album

[No lyrics]

Sometimes the sun shines on other people's houses and not mine
and the clouds paint the sky in a way
that takes away my summer time

somehow the sun shines upon you while i struggle to get mine
well there's a light in everybody so send out a ray of sunshine

i wanna walk the same roads as everybody else
through the trees and past the gates
i getting high on heavenly breezes
making new friends on the way

and i wont ask much of nobody
I'm just here to sing along
and make my mistakes look gracious
and learn some lessons from my wrongs

Sometimes the sun shines on other people's houses and not mine
and the shy can paint the sky in a way
that takes away my summer time

and somehow the sun shines upon you while i struggle to get by
there's a light in everybody so send your ray of sunshine

well you sure look as good as your outlook
would you mind if i took some time
to soak up your light, your beautiful light
you got some paradise inside

I get hungry for love and thirsty for life
but much to full on the pain
and if i turn to the sky to help me
it most often looks like rain

cause sometimes the sun shines on other people's houses and not mine
sometimes the clouds paint the sky in a way
that takes away my summer time

while the sun keeps shining upon you while i'm kindly standing by
a little light never hurt nobody send out a ray of sunshine

oh if this little light of mine combined with yours today
how many villages could we save
how many watts could illuminate

well my umbrella's tired of the weather wearing me down
well look at me now

you're undeniably warm, cerulean
you're perfect in design
i hope you hang around

so the sun can shine on me
and the clouds can all roll away
and the sky can become our possibility
cause there's a light in everybody, send out your ray of sunshine

Wake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this
Unless the dreamer is the real you

Listen to your voice
The one that tells you
To taste past the tip of your tongue
Leap in, the net will appear

I don't wanna wake before
The dream is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I, I know it

I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine

I keep my life on a heavy rotation
Requesting that it's lifting you up, up, up and away
And over to a table at the Gratitude Cafe

And I am finally there
And all the angels they'll be singing
Ah la la la, ah la la la
I la la la la love you

I don't wanna break before
The tour is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I, I'll own it

I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine

And timing's everything
And this time there's plenty
I am balancing
Careful and steady
And reveling in energy that everyone's emitting

Well I don't wanna wait no more
Oh I wanna celebrate the whole world
I'm gonna make it mine
Oh yes I'm following your joy

I'm gonna make it mine
Because I, I am open
I'm gonna make it mine
That's why, I will show it

I'm gonna make it mine
Gonna make it mine
Oh mine
Yes I'll make it all mine

Courage is the triumph of the soul
I know where I wanna walk; I know where I wanna go
So come put your hand in mine
Everybody's welcome

Music is what God wants us to do
Sing a song for me; I'll sing a song for you
When we put our voices together,
We create a harmony

And we create the love a love a love; love a love a love a love a love a love
Its love a love a love, love a love a love a love a love a, la la love
All I want to share with you is all my love, its all I really care to do

Champion the idea of one love
All people the same
One beautiful race
Making a home of this beautiful place
And be grateful for the precious gifts of life
Sunshine and Water
Food from the greatest giver

Anything you want can be yours at anytime
Anything you want can be yours at anytime

Its love a love a love, love a love a love a love a love a love
-It's what I got to give you now-
It's love a love a love, love a love a love a love a love a, la la love
All I want to share with you, it's all I know, it's all I really care to do
Anything you want can be yours at anytime
All I want to share with you is all my love, its all I really care to do
Anything you want can be yours at anytime
Anything you want can be yours at anytime

Champion the idea of one love
All people the same
One beautiful race
Making a home of this beautiful place
And be grateful for the precious gifts of life
Sunshine and Water
Food from the greatest giver

Anything you want can be yours at anytime
Anything you want can be yours at anytime

Its love a love a love, love a love a love a love a love a love
It's what I got to give you now-
It's love a love a love, love a love a love a love a love a, la la love
All I want to share with you, it's all I know, it's all I really care to do
Anything you want can be yours at anytime
All I want to share with you is all my love, its all I really care to do
Anything you want can be yours at anytime
Anything you want can be yours at anytime

Sipping coffee at a quarter to two
i wake up and i'm dallin and my minds running to you
no wonder i'm a one woman man
she keeps me hot in a jar on the nightstand
i should tell her that she couldn't be more
opposite then a foot in a door,
Theres no one else i would rather go out with, thats hell when i see them standing there
me and my mouth we don't mean to be rushing
we talk about deep freely cuz we crushing
i want to shake both sides of the brush ya
theatrically i say we rock it

and when the coyotes they sing at the park
till the city lights starts falling
ride them rodes they winding down till the flame hits the ground
every motion is closer to touching the coyotes sing when they call in the middle of it.

coming back for more,
You know I'm coming for you
you know we should be should be together
while we rock, we won't put a stop
not today not tomorrow.
you better lock your doors
you know why, cuz we want you
cuz when i kill a liar

i wish the world was a live like you.
I wish the world would help me through
another repetuity to approach you
another telepathic rendezvous
i wish you would walk when your jogging
you got a duty to sell in mexico
i got to try to keep you acting shady
i don't like liking you when you walk because
i gotta figure out the snooze alarm
i wanta lay in a place till dawn
i wanta play in the park come on
now let me see ya alarm in the lesh hello

And when the coyotes escape to new york
then the city lights has crumbles to the sea
and the girls turned it into lost and found
the flying metal hit the ground
every motion is closer to touching the coyotes singing
I'm a coyote and i got a taste for your loving

you know i will come for you
you know we should be, we should be together,
Because once we work we want to stop
not today or tomorrow

Because once we work we want to stop
not today or tomorrow

you know i will come for you
you know we should be, we should be together,
Because once we work we want to stop
not today or tomorrow

I try to picture a girl
Through a looking glass
See her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl
As her own new world
Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe

Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously

Try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter fact he's not a beast
No not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
And it's laughter that we're makin after all

The call of the wild is still an ordination why
And the order of the permeates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing gratitude
Practicing their livin for you

Just take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
Nothing is ever as it seems
This life is but a dream

A squirrel in the tree's watching me
Does he give a damn?
Does he care who I am?
I'm just a man, is that all I am?
All my manners misinterpreted
Words are only human, I'm human

Murderous crow, hey what you know?
What you raving about?
What you hold in your toes?
Is that a twig or are you a dove of peace?
Black dove undercover with another puzzle piece.
Are you a riddle to solve all along?
Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all,
Only human.
Made of flesh, made of sand
Made of you and me

The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise..

'Cause we're only human.
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse
How do we think we'll keep on being
Only human, yes we are
Only human, only human, only human
So far.

Up in the major's tree,
The one he planted back when he was just a boy
I think in 1923
30 meters and a foot
Take a look, take a climb
What you'll find is the product of a seed
The seed is sown, all alone
It grows above with a heart of love
Sharp and shelter of
The animals of land and cold weather-breathing
We're all breathing in

The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise..

'Cause we're only human.
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse
How do we think we'll keep on being
Only human, yes we are
Only human, only human, only human
So far, so far

And this place, it will outlive me
Before I get to heaven, I climb that tree
And I will have to give my thanks
For giving me the branch to swing on
If I ever fall in love, I hope to give myself a baby
I will let my children have their way

'Cause we're only human.
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse
How do we think we'll keep on being
Only human, yes we are
Only human, only human, only human
So far.

Words & music by Jason Mraz & The Matrix

I saw fireworks from the freeway and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go
away
Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
Now something on the surface it stings
That something on the surface it kind of makes me nervous who says that you
deserve this
And what kind of god would serve this? We will cure this dirty old disease
If you've got the poison I've got the remedy

The remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on
words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the
light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in
the end.

I won't worry my life away.
I won't worry my life away.

I heard two men talking on the radio in a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
They were counting down the days to stab the brother in the be right back after
this
The unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his
catastrophe
Dance with me, because if you've got the poison, I've got the remedy

The remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on
words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the
light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in
the end.

I won't worry my life away.
I wo'nt worry my life away.

When I fall in love I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why
Because

The remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on
words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the
light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in
the end.

I won't worry my life away.
I won't worry my life away.
I won't and I won't and I won't etc.

I've got the dynamo of volition
With po po position
Automatic transmission with lo-ow emissions
I'm a brand new addition to the old edition
with the love unconditional.

I'm a drama abolitionist
Damn no opposition to my proposition
Half of a man, half magician
Half a politician holding the mic
Like ammunition
And my vision is as simple as light

Ain't no reason we should be in a fight
No demolition
Get to vote, get to say what you like
Procreation
Compositions already written by themselves
Saying heck is for the people not believin' in gosh

Good Job
Get 'em up way high
Gimme gimme that high five
Good times
Get 'em way down low
Gimme gimme that low dough
Good God
Bring 'em back again
Gimme gimme that high ten
You're the best definition of good intentions

Will you answer call if
You do not know who is calling
I guess the whole point of it all is
That we never know really

I'm tryin' to keep with the Joneses
LIke waiting for guns and the roses
To finish what we all suppose is
That shit’s so silly x3

Oh, fists like bumping wrist lock
twisting up a rizla
Kid Icarus on the transister
Nintendo been givin' me the blister
I bend over take it in the kisser

Best friend's a-hitting on my sister.
Try to tell him that he's still a wisher
Cuz she already got herself a mister
And besides that's gross to want to dis her
D-d-d-d-didn't I say that shit’s so silly


I do not keep up with statistics
I do not sleep without a mistress
I do not eat unless it's fixed with
some kind of sweet like a licorice
My home is deep inside the mystics
I'm known to keep diggin’ on existence
I'm holdin' in the heat like a fishstick
My phone it beeps because I missed it

I do not answer the call when
I do not know who you are then
Making no sense of it all
Say, can I get a witness

I'm only a boy in a story
Just a hallucinatory
Trippin' on nothing there is
Living in the wilderness

Tiger spot on my back
Living life of a cat
I just wanna relax here
And write another rap tune
Driving off on your blind man's bike
I can say just what you like
Or nothing can stop you

Good Job
Get 'em up way high
Gimme gimme that high five
Good times
Get 'em way down low
Gimme gimme that low dough
Good God
Bring 'em back again
Gimme gimme that high ten
You're the best definition of good intensions

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
Based on your body language,
your shouted cursive I've been reading
You're style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
'Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And it's a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like, we are picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are
Here we are [x7]

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks, now i'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my bestest
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love
listen to the music of the moment people dance and
sing were just one big family and
its our Godforsaken right to be loved love love love loved


So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, i'm yours

*scat*

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, i'm yours
(there's no need to complicate
our time is short
it cannot wait (this is our fate), i'm yours 2x

no please don't complicate, our time is short
this is our fate, im yours.
no please don't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, the sky is yours!)

well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family
it's your god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved
open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la happy family
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la peaceful melodies
it's you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved...

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

YEA YEA YEA

i re-did it.

i'm taking a moment just imagining that i'm dancing with you
i'm your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes
you got soul, you know what to do to turn me on
until i write a song about you
and you have your own engaging style
and youve got the knack to vivify
and you make my slacks a little tight
you may unfasten them if you like
thats if you crash and spend the night

but you don't fold you don't fade
you've got everything you need especially me
sister you've got it all
you make the call to make my day
in your message say my name
your talk is all the talk
sister you've got it all

curl your upper lip up and let me look around
ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
and bend your back and ask those hips if i can touch
cause they're the perfect jumping up point
getting closer to your butterfly

we float on by
oh kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
or eskimo your nose real close to mine
and lets mood the lights and finally make it right

but you don't fold you don't fade
you've got everything you need especially me
sister you've got it all
you make the call to make my day
in your message say my name
your talk is all the talk
sister you've got it all
you've got it all (repeat 6x)

& all i need to see you pull your knee socks up
let me feel you upside down slide in slide out slide over here
climb into my mouth now

(skat)

butterfly, well you landed on my mind
damn right you landed on my ear & then you crawled inside
and now i see you perfectly behind closed eyes
i want to fly with you, & i don't want to lie to you

cause i, cause i can't recall a better day
so i'm coming to shine on the occasion
you're an open minded lady you've got it all
& i never for-get a face except for maybe my own, i had my days
let's face the fact here, it's you who's got it all

you know that fortune favors the brave
well let me get paid while i make you breakfast
the rest is up to you, you make the call
you make the call to make my day
in your message say my name
your talk is all the talk
sister you've got it all

i can't recall a better day so i'm coming to shine on the occasion
you're a sophisticated lady, oh, you've got it all
you've got it all(repeat 9 x)

butterfly, baby you've got it all

Words & music by Jason Mraz

The boy's gone. The boy's gone home.

What will happen to a face in the crowd when it finally gets too crowded.
And will happen to the origins of sound after all the sounds have sounded
Well I hope I never have to see that day but by god I know it's headed our way
So I better be happy now that the boy's going home. The boy's gone home.

And what becomes of a day for those who rage against it
And who will sum op the phrase for all left standing around in it

Well I suppose we'll all make our judgment call
We'll walk it alone, stand up tall, then march to the fall
So we better be happy now that we'll all go home.

Be so happy with the way you are
Be so happy that you made it this far
Go on be happy now. Please be happy now

Because this is something else
This is something else

I tried to live my life and live it so well
But when it's all over is it heaven or is it hell
I better be happy now that no one can tell, nobody knows
I'm gonna be happy with the way that I am
I'm gonna be happy with all that I stand for
I'm gonna be happy now because the boy's going home.

The boy's gone home.
