Jason Mraz Album

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes a word to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to you yawn brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

It takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some tears to make you trust
It takes some years to make it rust
It takes some dust to make it polished

Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is so full of
Ah la la la la la la life is so rough
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is our love
Ah la la la la la

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
It takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to know you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is oh love
Ah la la la la la la love is all sorts of
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is holla holla
Ah la la la la la la next up bushwalla-walla
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter in this generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that ain't my scene
Cause they need a new song like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure
So I drop my top
Mix and I mingle
Is everybody ready for the single?
And it goes...

Ah la la la love
Now listen closer to the verse I lay
Ah la la la love
It's all about the wordplay
Ah la la la love
The wonderful thing it does
because because I am the wizard of oo's and ah's and fa la la's
Yea, the Mr. A-Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay

Its time to get in
I got your remedy for those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble when the music's making people tongue-tied
You want a new song like a new religion
Music for the television
I cant do the long division someone do the math
For the people writing me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
Gotta find another way to keep from going under
Pull out the stops
Got your attention
I guess its time again for me to mention the wordplay

Ah la la la love
Now listen closer to the verse I lay
Ah la la la love
It's all about the wordplay
Ah la la la love
The wonderful thing it does
because because I am the wizard of oo's and ah's and fa la la's
Yea, the Mr. A-Z

Well let the geek in the pink take a stab at it
If you like the way I'm thinkin' baby wink at it
I may be skinny at times but I'm fat fulla rhymes
Pass me the mic and I'm a grab at it
Isn't it delicious crazy way that I'm kissin'
Cause baby listen to this don't wanna miss it while it's hittin'
Sometimes you gotta fit in to get in
But don't ever quit cause soon I'm gonna let you in but see

I don't care what you might think about me
You can vibe without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby I could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let down
But sugar don't forget what you already know
I could be the one to turn you on
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge me by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away

I'm the geek in the pink pink pink
I'm the geek in the pink yeah

Well this relationship fodder don't mean to bother nobody
But Cupid's automatic musta fired multiple shots at her
Because she fall in love too often that's what the matter
At least I talk about it keep a pattern of flattery and
She was starin' through the doorframe
Eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend
Well she can get her toys outta the drawer then
Cause I ain't comin' home I don't need that attention, see

I don't care what you might think about me
You'll get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it sure would be the let down
But sugar don't forget what you already know
I could be the one to turn you on
You could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away

I am more than you're thinking
Hey look at me go
From hero to zero
Oh, take it from a geek like me
I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums
Who wouldn't care if you com...plete him or not

So what I've got a short attention span
A coke in my hand
Because I'd rather have the afternoon, relax and understand
My hip hop and flip-flops it don't stop with the light rock
A shot to mock you kinda puts me in the tight spot
The hype is nothing more than hoo-ha so I'm
Developing a language and I'm callin' it my own
So take a peek into the speaker and you'll see what I mean
That on the other side the grass is greener

I don't care what you might think about me
You'll get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be the let down
But sugar don't forget what you already know
I could be the one to turn you on
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away

I'm the geek in the pink pink pink
I'm the geek in the pink yeah
I'm the geek in the pink

Did you get my message, the one I left
While I was trying to convince everything
That I meant in a minute or less when I called to confess
And make all of my stresses go bye-bye

Did you get my message, you did not guess
'cuz if you did you would have called me with your sweet intent
and we could give it a rest
'stead of beating my breast
making all of the pressure go sky-high

Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
Do they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
And come back together again with a whole new meaning
In a brand new sense, completely unrelated to the one I sent

Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, yeah, oooh oooh ooooh hooo

Uh oh, where did it go, must have bopped past your phone
And fallen right outta the window
TP: ooh well, how can I tell?
Shoulda called the operator maybe she know the info
But whether or not my message you got was too much or a lot to reply
TP: why not try this for a fact
Should you ever come back I'd relax and feel relieved
Before my panic attack

Ahh hooo oooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, yeah oooh oooh ooooh hooo

Did you get my message, the one that I left
While I was trying to convince everything that I meant
TP: Now the moment is passed
Not much standing the class and I'm standing to lose my mind
Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
So they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
And come back together again with a whole new meaning
In a brand new sense, and please be sympathetice to the time I spent

Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, yeah oooh oooh ooooh hooo
Did you get my message
TP: no I didn't hear a word you said
Did you get my message
TP: no I'm not gonna believe your lies anymore
Did you get my message that I want to reconnect with you
Did you get my message
TP: I can hear you say your coming but I don't hear
Why did you get the message love ?
That I want to get back with you
Did you get my message love
That I want to reconnect with you
Why did you get the message love ?
Did you get my message

Hey Mr. Curiosity
Is it true what they've been saying about you
Well are you killing me
You took care of the cat already
And for those who think it's heavy
Is it the truth
Or is it only gossip
Call it mystery or anything
Oh just as long as you call me
I sent the message on did you get it when I left it
Said well this catastrophic event
It wasn't meant to mean no harm
But to think there's nothing wrong is a problem, oh

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
This love is a mystery
Mr. Curious...

Come back to me
I'm a mr. waiting on and never patient can't you see
That I'm the same the way you left me, left me
In a hurry to spell check me
And I'm underlined already in envy green
And then to red
And I've forgotten what you've said
Will you stop working for the dead and return
A mr. curious well I need some inspiration
It's my birthday and I cannot find no cause for celebration
The scenario is grave but I'll be braver when you save me
From this situation laden with hearsay, oh

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
This love is a mystery
Mr. Curiosity
Hey mr. please
Do come and find me, oh
Oh ,come on oh, yea yea

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
Cause love is a mystery
Mr. curiosity
Hey mr. please
Do come and find me

Love is blinding when your timing's never right
Oh but who am I to beg for difference
Finding love in a distant instant
But I don't mind

Take off, both your, shoes and clothes, I'll follow.
Undo, corkscrew, drink from the top of a broken bottle.
Lately we're running out of time, aren't we?

Smoking, often, and calling out our guilty pleasures,
Let's keep, talking, anything to stop clockwatching.
Lately we're running out of time, aren't we?
Crazy for running all the time, m-m-m-m-maybe.
Let's forget we're running out of time.

I'm off like an airplane,
I'm licking your postage stamp again.
I'm using my right brain and I'm praying the weight will crash.
Who knew I'd come/cum so fast.
Well so what if a two pump chump can't last.

I finally made it to three, and I foreclose a five minute, fantasy.
I'll surely fight making love on economy/on account of me (not sure).
No jumping, conclusions,
I don't think there's no solution,
Let's get, backwards,
And forget our restless destination.

Let's live in this moment just this time, could we?
Just take one moment of our time m-m-m-m-maybe.
Let's forget we running out of time.

I'm off like an airplane,
I'm catching my second wind again.
I'm using my left brain
And I'm righting all my wrongs.
I'm yearning to turn you on.

I've been working on getting you off, so get on board.
Well how can I guess by the subject of the best predicate that's left unsaid
when the matter is too delicate.
My loneliness is evident.

And its you,
You're running through my mind and it makes me c-c-crazy cra-cra-crazy.

La la la
La la la la la
La la la (ooooooo, so amazing)
La la la la la la
La la la
Laaaa oh oh
Laaaaaa lo oh oh oh

Lady, dreamer, you might be the soundest sleeper,

mystery the moon
a hole in the sky
a supernatural nightlight
so full but often right
a pair of eyes a closin' one
a chosen child of golden sun
a marble dog that chases cars
to farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars

a cosmic fish they love to kiss
they're giving birth to constellation
no riffs and oh no reservation
if they should fall you get a wish or dedication
may I suggest you get the best
for nothing less than you and i
let's take a chance as this romance is rising over before we lose the lighting
oh bella bella please
bella you beautiful luna
oh bella do you do
do do do do do

you are an illuminated anchor
of leads to infinite number
crashing waves and breaking thunder
tiding the evenflows of hunger
you're dancing naked there for me
you expose all memory
you make the most of boundary
you're the ghost of royalty imposing love
you are the queen and king combining everything
into twining like a ring around the finger of a girl
i'm just a singer, you're the world
all I can bring ya
is the language of a lover
bella luna, my balloona
how you swoon me like no other

may I suggest you get the best
of your wish may I insist
that no contest for little you or smaller i
a larger chance happened, all them they lie
on the rise, on the brink of our lives
bella please
bella you beautiful luna
oh bella do you do
bella luna, my fortuna
how you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh

drain the veins in my head
clean out the reds in my eyes to get by security lines
dear x-ray machine
pretend you don't know me so well
i wont tell if you lied
cry, cause the droughts been brought up
drinkin' cause you're lookin so good in your starbucks cup
i complain for the company that I keep
the windows for sleeping rearrange
and I'm nobody
well who's laughin now

i'm leaving your town again
and I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
and I'm up in the air so baby hell yeah
well I can see your house from here
if the plane goes down, damn
i'll remember where the love was found
if the plane goes down, damn

damn, I should be so lucky
even only 24 hours under your touch
you know I need you so much
i cannot wait to call you
and tell you that I landed somewhere
and hand you a square of the airport
and walk you through the maze of the map
that im gazing at
gracefully unnamed and feeling guilty for the luck
and the look that you gave me
you make me somebody
ain't nobody knows me
not even me can see it, yet I bet I'm

i'm leaving your town again love
but I'm over the quilt that you've spinning
and I'm up in the air, so baby hell yeah

flax seeds, well they tear me open
and supposedly you can crawl right through me
taste these teeth please
and undress me from these sweaters better hurry
cause I'm keeping upward bound now
oh maybe I'll build my house in your cloud
here I'm tumbling for you
stumbling through the work that I have to do
don't mean to harm you

by leaving your town again love
but I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
but I'm up in the air, said baby hell yeah
oh honey I can see your house from here
if the plane goes down, damn

if the plane goes down, damn

who do you
think you are, are, are, are
to keep me so oh cold, cold
you keep me high minded
you keep me high minded

you get me high minded

What's the worst thing that could happen?
We could change our minds.
That seems to be the hottest topic at this time.
We are sitting around in the meditation, dragging, chasing,
Wonderin?whose holdin?whose got the will to draw the line.

I know you've got something burning up inside,
It's so unhealthy but so good for me, oh!
Said if I didn't know, and if I didn't know, well if I didn't know that you
loved me would you tell me?
Well God only knows our contradiction's to quitting, is a hate to love
relationship thing.
A fire under you is so fulfilling,
I fear there's nothing more.

I'm giving, giving you, the choke hold,
My flirting with disaster is mighty loved.
Ugggh you, you're so bold,
My wanting to kiss you still is not enough.
I'm getting over, all the comments.
I'm feeling statements made by people are nonsense.
I'm getting stronger, by the minute.
And once I slip into position I'll swing you and turn you all around.

You are the sweetest thing I've found since whenever,
You're the only way my time is measured.
You might be the silent type,
but your appetizing louder now.
It's crazy how you're killing me.
Woo, you're killing me, but I like your

Red top and matching bottoms.
You know the ones, the ones you got on,
Pull them over your skinny self
But don't cover your tattoo.
Woo, cause I like to look at you, yeah,
I love that smell on you,
And I got your special place against this face for tasting too.

And I like it natural,
No need for chemicals.
Foggin?up my senses
You're making me sensless
You're calling it sexual.

And you're going to get yours, my lady.
Might even be today.
And it ain't no thing because I'll be rolling right along with you-woo-woo.

You are the sweetest thing I've found since whenever.
You're the only way my time is measured.
You might be the silent type.
But you're appetizing louder now.
It's crazy how you're killing me.
And give us both a break.
And to give us back a taste when the way things were before they made the laws,
And to give us both a chance,
But it won't be the last romance cause when the weekend starts the guilty
party's on.

Scatting

BREAKDOWN!!
Weekend party's over,
Don't stop, let's get closer.
Friday, got cold shoulder,
Monday, got a new composure.

Weekend party's over,
Don't stop, let's get lower.
I won't blow your cover,
Opportunistic lover.

Weekend party's over,
Don't stop, let's get closer.
Friday's mediocre,
Monday, I'm self-exposed now.

Weekend party's over,
Don't stop, let's suppose-ah
I won't blow your cover

I hear she's kickin ass across the board and rock two hundred thousand higher
scorer
Just in time to save the world of being taken over
She's a warrior
I couldn't play again because the game it never end it never even landed on the
can
And never let me in to spend my quarter
There's no love for me no more

Say it isn't so
How she easily come, how she easy go
Please don't tell her that I miss her
Because I don't

She was the girl with the broadest shoulders
But she would die before I crawled over them
She is taller than I am
She knew I wouldn't mind the view there
Or the altitude with a mouth full of air
She let me down and doubt came out until the now became later

Say that it isn't so
How she easily come, how she easy go
Please don't tell her that I've been meaning to miss her
Because I don't
Not for her
It's not that I'm mad to forgive
Forget what I said

That I'm crazy like the rest of us
And I'm crazier when I'm next to her, ha

So why after the all of everything that came and went
I care enough to still be singing of the bitter end and broken eras
I told you I don't but
I am only trying to be the best with my intent to cure
The rest is sure to lay me ease the plural hurts of the words of reverse
psychology
That's easier said
Easier than done
Please don't dare tell her what I've become
Please don't mention all the attention I have drawn
Please don't bother cause she'll feel guilty when I'm gone

Because I'm crazy like the rest of us
And I'm crazier when I'm next to her
And it's amazing how she's self-assured
And I know she'd hate me if she knew my words
Do I hurt anymore
Do I hurt, well
I don't
I don't

well I heard that it might be raining bed sheets and lover's words
let's throw out the hotel comforter and hang the 'do not disturb'
sign me up for the storm
i'll wear my suit for the shower
cause I'll have you to keep me warm in the coldest hour

and when the darkness falls under your hair, there I'll be
and crazy is the forecast all week

well every kiss, every hug is so light on that touch, delicate like a snowflake
well I can taste, I can taste, I can taste, I can taste you all over my face
and everyone might find it foolish to not be counting on the sun
but your mouth is my umbrella now
because I'm holding your tongue

And when the darkness falls under your hair, there I'll be
and crazy is the forecast all week

there's a good chance in hell
like cats and dogs we'll be flying
and I'm no weatherman
but you are lightning, striking

here comes that sun
want rain
all at once
how it sing

in the midst of the morning pull up a blanket of a cloud
and await for the warning of another come down
because the water is healthy for the roses in your cheeks
my well holds plenty for penny wishin' in your deep end
and when the lights go out, no doubt, with you I'll be

and crazy is the forecast all week

and if them rains should fall for sure with you I'll be
ah because crazy is the forecast all week long

well you're magic he said
but don't let it all go to your head
well I bet if you all had it all figured out
then you'd never get out of bed
no doubt
all the thing's that I've read what he wrote me
is now sounding like the man I was hoping
to be
keep on keeping it real
cause it keeps getting easier indeed
he's the reason that I'm laughing
even if there's no one else
he said, you've got to love yourself

you say, you shouldn't mumble when you speak
but keep your tongue up in your cheek
and if you stumble on to
you better remember that it's humble that you seek
you got all the skill you need,
individuality
you got something
call it gumption
call it anything you want
because when you play the fool now
you're only fooling everyone else
you're learning to love yourself

yes you are

there's no price to pay
when you give and what you take,
that's why it's easy to thank you
you...

let's say take a break from the day
and get back to the old garage
because life's too short anyway
but at least it's better then average
as long as you got me
and I got you
you know we'll got a lot to go around
i'll be your friend
your other brother
another love to come and comfort you
and I'll keep reminding
if it's the only thing I ever do
i will always love
i will always love you
yes you
i will always, always, always, always love
i will always, always love
