Romance Is Natural

(verse 1)

it was then, I still see it clearly

I was standing there folding my laundry

I found there is happiness

between us even amongst all the mess

the wind blew through your hair

I thought you were cool standing there

but now, that's in retrospect

because you had lost all my respect

if you wanted to try once again

maybe this time we'd win (the future)

I tried to make something extraordinary

out of something that varies

(chorus)

romance is natural

you see it on the street

you see it where people meet

but I couldn't see it through these eyes

something that's between you and me

should just grow naturally

we love deeply, we yearn passionately

hate changes from love, miracles up above

illusions turn into reality

our love is our vitality

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

the sky looks the same

but my viewpoint from here changed

it hurt to think that I hurt someone I should love

that was you

you won't even look at me

but I have only have one chance to be

something that's important to the person that can't get enough of

that last cold day before spring

it was as if we danced in a cold rain (we lost it)

our freedom slipped right through my fingers

and I left it on the ground there

(chorus)

romance is natural

sayonara to the goodbyes

goodbye to all the tries

I forcibly colored outside the lines

drifting apart is common but we are not

we had freewill but we got caught

I see you off to work

I think all day about your cute quirks

I worry about you at night till I'm sick

if that's not love then what is?

everything's not as it appears

(end chorus)

(bridge)

your room looks the same

nothing has changed

everything has its own place (even now)

it was raining that day outside the classroom

I still remember how you said

romance is

romance is

(chorus)

romance is natural

you see it on the street

you see it where people meet

but I couldn't see it through these eyes

something that's between you and me

should just grow naturally

we love deeply, we yearn passionately

hate changes from love, miracles up above

illusions turn into reality

our love is our vitality

(end chorus)

Harujion in Full Bloom

(chorus)

harujion in full bloom

in that same place

at the same time

you can see it when you go there

in my heart here

dancing in meadows in spring

feelings stay the same

white petals, yellow centers

I want to be your prettiest flower

that you'll want to reach out to pick

a white flower garden, yeah

(end chorus)

(verse 1)

this isn't the last time that I will ever see you

we'll reunite, I'm just glad that we became friends

no matter what you do

it's a sun bright future

all the tough times we shared

we're free from tears because we cared

if I said that I like your wide smile

your charisma and how you run a mile

just to make me happy

would you respond or would it be sappy?

you lifted me up like the green wind

made me brand new till the very end

this little bud became a beautiful flower

with petals to shower you

(chorus)

harujion in full bloom

standing strong in the rain

we endured all of our pain

under the blue sky

if we all believe

we're flowers in a garden

I think we can achieve

all we want done

like it's our destiny

we're fresh as spring

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

forevermore, wrap me up in your arms

whisk me away at high speeds

wherever you always are

it reminds me

of my mother's sayings

"if you have a gold heart

they'll see you as a work of art"

maybe you needed me and I needed you

even though I'm gone, I still do

when we're adults with the world's keys

maybe you'll be the husband at my wedding

for you, I'll always be in eternal bloom

I won't drop petals and I'll never wilt

because of your strong will

(chorus)

harujion in full bloom

through summer and winter

I'll give you all of spring's warmth

without the rain

no matter what you do

when we rolled up our sleeves

and ran under cherry trees

life felt as if it was complete

when I return I'll never leave

I'll always be your flower

(end chorus)

(bridge)

who says that a flower can't survive 

from spring until the fall?

we'll become better people

as adults and through it all

I'll always love you

like I always do

(chorus)

harujion in full bloom

in that same place

at the same time

you can see it when you go there

in my heart here

dancing in meadows in spring

feelings stay the same

white petals, yellow centers

I want to be your prettiest flower

that you'll want to reach out to pick

a white flower garden, yeah

(end chorus)

Unrequited Feelings

(chorus)

is this what they call unrequited feelings?

I saw you with another girl yesterday

I don't want anymore of your pretty little lies

they shattered my whole world

(end chorus)

(verse 1)

it's awful because I really liked this great guy

I just want to crawl in a hole, bury myself, and die

maybe I'm too prim, maybe I'm too proper

he likes them lively, but I can't ever possibly be her

I just can't overcome my shyness

I ask God why he made me like this

my birthday, Christmas alone, and this Valentine's Day disowned

I guess I'll always be by myself

a princess without her prince

(don't do that) it rains in this world constantly

(where at) we all find love inevitably

(not like that) I've lost all credibility

don't talk to me, I'm going to cry

now and forever

(chorus)

is this what they call unrequited feelings?

I saw you with another girl yesterday

I don't want anymore of your pretty little lies

they shattered my whole world

is this what they call unrequited feelings?

no man sees me as a woman

I can't pick out my fatal flaws

it's like I can't see them at all

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

my friends say I'm beautiful and knowledgeable

my mom says to stop overreacting

he was the one, I thought so, but now that it's done

the cracks were always there, but now this love is beyond repair

(always) at least his smile was mine for a moment

(no way) he was just being nice and could not end it

(it's a phase) he's doing fine, but don't look at me

a girl stole his heart

while mine fell apart

(chorus)

the first time I ended up like that

it felt like my heart was ripped apart

it's hard enough to be a young lady

let alone love sick and abandoned

the first time I ended up like that

I just wanted my smile back

love gives and it also takes away

the boy I liked led me astray

(end chorus)

(bridge)

I hear she's now his girlfriend

I am sure he'll see this through to the end

and when he finally gets married

the pretty words I wanted said

is what she gets to hear

is this what they call?

is this what they call?

(chorus)

is this what they call unrequited feelings?

I saw you with another girl yesterday

I don't want anymore of your pretty little lies

they shattered my whole world

is this what they call unrequited feelings?

no man sees me as a woman

I can't pick out my fatal flaws

I'll never get to see them at all

(end chorus)

How Many Blues Skies Have There Been?

(verse 1)

the times are changing

and I guess I'm staying the same

the days pass us right by

the players swap out like the rules of the game

I'm no longer little, but I'm not quite big

I just like spending time in the wind with you

is it okay to be in love with the ordinary?

the future splashes me like cold water

I can't swim up the rapid stream

I'm falling behind, I want to stay beside you

but I need to stop and take a breath too

in these turbulent times, it's best to slow down

if you don't look up or take a look around

how free can you feel, what are your ideals?

(chorus)

how many blue skies have there been above?

there are too many to count,

at least that's what I think

the sun rises and sets blink by blink

every day unchanging each week

even still we forget somethings

how many blue skies have there been above?

we can't let our youth just pass us right by

you and I live in daydreams

we should still look up every once in awhile

(at the clear sky for miles)

I hope you won't let who you are now go to waste

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

it's like the icy coldness opened up my eyes

the world outside our small town is full of lies

the life that I've been given

became heavy in my hands and

I thought "I'll do it someday"

eternity is still short anyway

I love you too much to let you throw away

another average regular day

let's run into the blue and the grey

(chorus)

how many blue skies have there been above?

there are too many to count,

at least that's what I think

the sun rises and sets blink by blink

every day unchanging each week

even still we forget somethings

how many blue skies have there been above?

we can't let our youth just pass us right by

you and I live in daydreams

we should still look up every once in awhile

(at the clear sky for miles)

I hope you won't let who you are now go to waste

(end chorus)

(bridge)

if you close your eyes there

you may be able to hear

the sound of what's still inside of you

neither ourselves or the skies up there are always sunny

I do not know

when the next blue sky will be

I'm looking up right now

hoping to start something

I won't let it get in my way

the something I can do today

and tomorrow and forever always

(chorus)

the next time the sky is blue again

you might notice it yourself right then

even if your tears are overflowing

the sun won't be crying

(if you really look up)

I hope as a result you'll become even stronger

we are alive right now

time is like a stream's flow

I won't wash away now

(end chorus)

I’ll Be Waiting at That Place
(verse 1)
I remember your hand on my striped umbrella
how could I forget delicate petals and bliss?
when we had to part ways at the train station
I wanted to get off at your stop and savor the season

your unwavering charm and smile
make people follow you for miles
I was skeptical until I found
you had the same effect on me
we talk on the phone
we stay up all night long
why would I ever want to go to sleep?

so long to fantasies about romance
(for me)
all along my dream was right in front of me
(like always)
time can’t possibly keep us apart
you’re so dazzling
that you’re all I could ever see

(chorus)
at the same time, on the same day
I’ll be waiting for you at that place
in my room inside of my dreams
I see you standing so casually
like we never spent any time apart
my voice shouts, does it reach your ears?
am I lost in translation?
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
I’m sorry I’m lonely
you probably think so as well
but the feeling I get when we’re together
is something you can’t buy in a store
I get a taste of sweetness, and I crave more

if I ever had a soulmate
(I promise)
I’d give to you until I can’t
(oh God, please)
I catch you by the sleeve
I pull you in close
it’s been such a long time
but now you’re back, I don’t want to lose

(chorus)
no matter how much time may pass
I’ll be waiting for you at our place
hands held and jokes told
and a wink from me to you
this can’t be a coincidence
we have too much in our past
than just a kiss
(end chorus)

(bridge)
if people can’t spend eternity together
what’s the point of living forever?
if I just wanted a lover
there would be no other
if we can’t be in love for all of our days
I’d sit and just count all the ways
of how I think you are perfect
you’re so close to me
I can almost taste it

at the same time, on the same day
I’ll be waiting for you at that place
in my room inside of my dreams
I see you standing so casually

(chorus)
like we never spent any time apart
my voice shouts, does it reach your ears?
am I lost in translation? Ahh
no matter how much time may pass
I’ll be waiting for you at our place
hands held and jokes told
and a wink from me to you
this can’t be a coincidence
we have too much in our past
your smile will always last
(end chorus)

(verse 3)
I remember your hand on my striped umbrella
how could I forget delicate petals and bliss?
when we had to part ways at the train station
I wanted to get off at your stop and savor the season



Crosswalk
(verse 1)
in the middle of the clean street
how long will the light stay green?
it starts flashing and I begin hurrying
everyone else starts to brisk walk

your confessed feelings came on strong
and I felt like I was in the wrong
I wish I was like you a little more
being this indecisive and torn

my resolve will stand tall
like the skyscrapers around me
if I like myself first
surely it will translate into you
if I knew what love was
you would be my first choice
but instead I’m this shade of blue
and I hate myself too

(chorus)
decisions lead to chance
I’m taking a risk in this crosswalk
I’ve set a course and it’s to you of course
now the future doesn’t seem scary
if you knew what you meant to me
you wouldn’t be so sorry
I’m giving it my absolute all
so we can walk
together through any city
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
I never thought I’d be this grown up
or make it to this point
or have this much logic
but to me, our friendship was
just like a white rose
and now our relationship
will be one that never sinks

when I get nervous
I know you’ll be there for me
and that I can look your way
and find comfort in what’s us
I’ve got a strong grip
now that I’ve come to this consensus
your strong resolve that knows what you want
makes me so envious

(chorus)
decisions lead to chance
I’m taking a risk in this crosswalk
to time has never been more right
now that I’ve got you set in my sight
the future can only seem so bright
I found it hard to find the words
until it became easy
then I found out
nothing in life is like it really seems
(end chorus)

(bridge)
when I reach out my hand
you’ll put yours into mine right
the light will switch from red
into nothing but green for me and you
I won’t take caution
I’ll throw myself into the action
and finally make up mind
all in due time in this crosswalk

(chorus)
decisions lead to chance
I’m taking a risk in this crosswalk
I’ve set a course and it’s to you of course
now the future doesn’t seem scary
if you knew what you meant to me
you wouldn’t be so sorry
I’m giving it my absolute all
so we can walk
together through any city
my walk went from a run into a sprint
I have to find where you went
and tell you I’m with you
(end chorus)

Synchronicity

(verse 1)

when something causes you sadness

I hope you know I'm crying with you

even if it's for no reason at all or weighted

in this real world's all too real madness

slouching, head down, aimlessly in the city

wandering nowhere in particular

keep going, keep going

even if I was an unfamiliar face passing you by

I don't need to know any of the details

a little bit of love and a hug full of hope

I'll share a little bit of all your pain

while waiting for the light to change

I understand you without exchanging words

synchronicity

(chorus)

and even so

anyone and everyone has experienced this

suddenly they realize that they're crying

for no reason at all

nothing comes to mind

the tears just overflow to be kind

and that is

by your side somebody, by your side somebody

understands what you're going through

no words needed, no warning heeded

our hearts will synchronize themselves

and everyone in the world feels the love

in harmony, in harmony

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

no one believes in anything anymore

depression stays locked behind closed wooden doors

love overflows when someone asks "are you okay?"

everyone in the world thinks about somebody else all day

I'm wishing you nothing but happiness from afar, synchronicity

(chorus)

and that's why

all by yourself, all by yourself never give it up

even sadness that takes you by surprise

can be overcome by happiness

don't be afraid to cry and let it out

rid yourself of all your doubt

and always

let's be sure to, let's be sure to

sympathize with each other

together everyone can combine their hearts as one

even strangers walking on the crosswalk

can be kind to one another

by chance

(end chorus)

(bridge)

the melancholy that you carry

and the pain in your heart that goes on

can be divided by 7.4 billion

and even so

anyone and everyone has experienced this

suddenly they realize that they're crying

for no reason at all

nothing comes to mind

the tears just overflow to be kind

(chorus)

and that is

by your side somebody, by your side somebody

understands what you're going through

no words needed, no warning heeded

our hearts will synchronize themselves

and everyone in the world feels the love

in harmony, in harmony, in harmony

(end chorus)

(verse 3)

for the sake of you who is crying

I will cry also

at all for no reason

it's my realization

Taking a Detour on the Way Home

(verse 1)

I truly love this place right here

sitting in your floor, you on your bed

me reading your manga

we grew up together, so I guess we are close

how long have you felt the way that you confessed?

was it that time I fell asleep on your shoulder during Casablanca?

you and me too, I guess we need what everyone else in the world does

I need some time to think

does my dream cross with yours and the stars?

(chorus)

taking a detour on, taking a detour on

taking a detour on the way home from your house

I guess I like the thought

I guess I just fell in love with the guy who's always been around in my life

can you be (can you be), can you be the only one for me?

do you see the same future that I see?

so loving, so caring, you and me, so protecting

I want to be stronger for you and me

ohh, I truly love this place right here

ooh, one more time, I'll meet you there

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

was the ivy on that bank vibrantly so green?

has the sky always been this blue?

my heart woke up under my red scarf, and it was like a movie scene

I've always liked you, and no matter what you do

I didn't want to complicate, I just wanted to be by your side

that person that I hurt

by not being true to myself, I pull at my skirt

it was then I smelled a familiar manly scent

I looked down, and I had borrowed your shirt

(chorus)

this road I'm walking on, this road I'm walking on

how many times have we stood here together?

passing the same stores, chatting with the same neighbors

I can't believe I hadn't noticed you more

the light wind says (the light wind says), you will always be with me

I turn around, back into town, I fell down, but I finally found

the man I need to see more

(end chorus)

(bridge)

I'm sorry that I'm just so dim

maybe he's just too bright, yes, it's him

I knock on the door I used to just barge through

wrap your arms around me, then one becomes two

our first kiss, I love this

it's where I've searched for to belong

but you're wrong, I've liked you all along

does this mean we're going out?

the wind was telling me, the wind was telling me

it sounded like your voice, I looked back on the street

I needed to be with you

I need to see this version of the future through

(chorus)

taking a detour on, taking a detour on

taking a detour on the way home from your house

I guess I like the thought

I guess I just fell in love with the guy who's always been around in my life

can you be (can you be), can you be the only one for me?

do you see the same future that I see?

so loving, so caring, you and me, so protecting

I want to be stronger for you and me

ohh, I truly love this place right here

ooh, one more time, I'll meet you there

ohh, I truly love this place right here

(end chorus)

Life Is Beautiful

(verse 1)

love unthawed from the ice is a wonderous thing

my heart was buried underneath the snow

until there was you

you revived my whole being

my future came into fruition

I was so lost before

but now that I've been found

how many times have I called out your name since then?

how many times have I gave you a back hug?

you made me so happy to be alive again

after every icy winter is a precious spring

I'll never let them pull the plug

you gave me reason, and it revolves around you

just like the sun

(chorus)

our life is beautiful

and everything you are is too, as well

the first time you showed me how to live

it was then, I began to thrive

an eternity with you doesn't sound so bad

especially with all of the love we've had

if I had a wish, if I had just one wish

it would be you and this

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I'll be your protector from the harsh winds

I want to be your shelter and also your crying shoulder

everything you've done for me, I can't begin to repay

I think it is best if I stay by your side always

how many times have I called out your name since then?

how many times I have I woke up in your bed?

I can't get you out of my head and that is okay

who knew a person could be the key to happiness?

if this gone, I would forever reminisce

all of the dreams we made come alive

and the flowers we grew

(chorus)

our life is so wonderful

like a painted picture from a master

it couldn't be anymore perfect

even if we tried

everything and everyone

should have something as good as this

they don't even know what they miss

but we got what they want

(end chorus)

(chorus)

our life is beautiful

and everything you are is too, as well

the first time you showed me how to live

it was then, I began to thrive

an eternity with you doesn't sound so bad

especially with all of the love we've had

if I had a wish, if I had just one wish

it would be you and this

(end chorus)

Swimming in a Love Song

(verse 1)

not one thing can reach these depths

light can't penetrate this dark

I'm drowning in this love

but I can't survive with no air

I'll be sleeping with the fishes

this well's running out of wishes

you've got me completely fooled

I'm drifting in the ocean's waves

but would it be okay

if you'd let me see the sky?

exchange my gills for a pair of white wings

I'll always be your beautiful mermaid

but that's not the reason I was made

(chorus)

I'm swimming in a love song for you, ah

it feels like I'm alone even when you're by my side

down on the sapphire ocean floor, it's always night

you and me and we are running on thin ice

I'm madly in love, but there's only so long I can play nice

if you can't tell by my face

I'm swimming towards the surface

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

you're the captain of this ship

you've got plenty of storms to navigate

my name's on a hurricane

and it's breaking your garden gate

I want to show you I'm more than just a pretty face

I can tear a man down or put him in outer space

it's going to take a miracle

to survive tropical storms at sea

(chorus)

I'm swimming in scorned words of love

you say one thing but mean another

it's like you're an enemy, when you're my lover

I'm in bed with a complete stranger

who dilutes instead of clears my confusion

it's like you've made it your mission

to completely drown me

(end chorus)

(bridge)

a thorny, a stormy sea that pours torrents from the sky

there's ocean above, waves below crashing into your hurt body

not anymore, close all the doors, I'm a blue sea rose

that will rise and bring the sand with her

you made it to the triangle of Bermuda

a woman will sink another

(chorus)

I'm swimming in a love song for you, ah

it feels like I'm alone even when you're by my side

down on the sapphire ocean floor, it's always night

you and me and we are running on thin ice

I'm madly in love, but there's only so long I can play nice

if you can't tell by my face

I'm swimming towards the surface

(end chorus)

Barefoot ed Summer

(verse 1)

you are wrong, it's summer here all year long

when I'm with you I feel so warm like the sun

a love like this will never be done

I'll always be by your side

whether we're inside or outside

I can't tell if it was planned or a miracle

there's only one of you in this world

and you are like angel sent to me straight from the sky above

 you know

orange sunsets and creamsicles

sleeveless shirts and arm muscles

the top down in your Jeep

you kiss me, I get embarrassed, and crumple up my one piece

as soon as the sun comes up

there's this heat that radiates out from me

I jump in the shower and get ready in a hurry

throw my sandals on, I meet you in an hour

(chorus)

barefooted let's run into the big blue ocean all summer

I don't care where we are as long as we are together

hey, can I tell you a secret?

but you got to keep it

I lean in to whisper and steal a kiss on your cheek

this has been the end to a perfect week

I think you gave me love potion

while we were on vacation

turn on the AC

I'm tired and sleepy

let's curl up together

and sleep under the palm trees like lovers

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

a secret getaway

my heart detonates

all boys and all girls

need handsome boyfriends and cute girlfriends

let's walk along the white sand

with fruity drinks from the bar in our hand

right now all that I'm thinking

this is paradise I'm witnessing

(chorus)

I forgot my shoes I guess I'm going barefooted

an adventure with you is just what I needed

hey, what do you got planned?

these flames you fanned

have me like a beach bonfire

let's splash around in the cool water

go diving, while handholding, and see the sea turtles

look at stars at night

you're so outta sight

I must be the dark

because you are my sunlight

(end chorus)

(bridge)

you are wrong, it's summer here all year long

when I'm with you I feel so warm like the sun

this feels like our private spot

a van, a lagoon, and my long hair you got wet

no matter where the summer takes us

either Panama or outer space

I'll follow my man

when you makes a plan

I know

(chorus)

barefooted let's run into the big blue ocean all summer

I don't care where we are as long as we are together

hey, can I tell you a secret?

but you got to keep it

I lean in to whisper and steal a kiss on your cheek

this has been the end to a perfect week

I think you gave me love potion

while we were on vacation

turn on the AC

I'm tired and sleepy

let's curl up together

and sleep under the palm trees like lovers

(end chorus)

Mirage

(verse 1)

this heat wave has definitely been a hot one

I'm ready for summer to be done

I shouldn't be like that

where will we go today, what will we do?

we're just laying on the porch amongst the mosquitos

is that an oasis I see up the road just ahead?

or my mind playing tricks on me again?

I just want to watch fireworks together

and celebrate our independence

and whatever else summer sends us

(chorus)

mirage, you can't see it until it fades away up close

we have nothing left to lose

let's follow it anyway

the closer we get, the farther away we seem to be

I don't care even if it's hot

I'll follow you any time, anywhere

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

dive into the sapphire spring of water

you're sunburned and I'm just burned out

we need to cool off we're too heated

keep the romance on the stove though

I like to enjoy it warm

we tell each other ghost stories

while we're out camping

I hope you don't mind if I sleep closer to you

when we ride in your truck

the windows are down and the music is turned up

we're just enjoying our youth, right?

(chorus)

mirage, the palace I saw turned out to be sandcastle

our spirits are high, can you guess the song I whistle?

there's nothing on the TV, we may as well watch the sunset

my ice cream melted in my hand, you try to lick it off, so lovely

(end chorus)

(bridge)

you're catching my butterflies

falling asleep under the shade tree

I steal glances, but pretend the sun is in my eyes

ice cream of strawberries and peach

while going for a walk on the beach

matching pastel shirts and outdoor concerts

(chorus)

mirage, you can't see it until it fades away up close

we have nothing left to lose

let's follow it anyway

the closer we get, the farther away we seem to be

I don't care even if it's hot

I'll follow you any time, anywhere

(end chorus)

Last of Tight Hugs
(chorus)
hold me close and never let go
I’ll be the ivy if you’re the chimney I can climb
parting is such sweet sorrow
and I don’t want you to go
of course I want you to be happy
but I don’t want you to marry
kiss me instead and be the one who
sleeps beside me in bed
I can’t accept that ahh ahh ahh
(end chorus)

(verse 1)
while we had just gotten our cafe lattes
you told me you had a secret to share
you were getting happily married soon
and you didn’t think that I’d care
even though it breaks my heart

I guess we’re both at the age
where everyone is finding their someone
but yours was the body
that was supposed to be my somebody
and I can’t accept it any other way

sayonara to the fantasies in my head
I guess instead this is the last date
before we part, I want to take back my heart
you gave my love to someone else

(chorus)
hold me close and never let go
I’ll be the ivy if you’re the chimney I can climb
parting is such sweet sorrow
and I don’t want you to go
of course I want you to be happy
but I don’t want you to marry
kiss me instead and be the one who
sleeps beside me in bed
this is the last of our tight hugs
ahh ahh ahh
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
I just had to unplug my telephone
I left it on the Davenport, off the hook
while I went out into the garden
you stopped by for a visit
I brewed us some fresh rose hip tea

you had been trying to contact me
I said I was busy with my reading
you accuse me of being cold like the autumn
I replied that you’re the reason

(chorus)
it’s not wise to leave us like this
I want us to be friends, at least that’s my wish
I thought that our futures were tied
together by a gold thread
you act like you’ve got a secret
the first wrecked my ship
can I bare to hear it?
I’ll pack up my luggage
and get out of your life
I bought a train ticket
(end chorus)

(bridge)
just one more cafe latte
then I’ll be on my way
before it gets late
you take my hand and take me by surprise
you said it was all lies
that I’m the lady you want to marry

(chorus)
hold me close and never let go
I’ll be the ivy if you’re the chimney I can climb
parting is such sweet sorrow
and I don’t want you to go
of course I want you to be happy
and I’m the one you’re going to marry
kiss me on the top of my head
you’re the only one who
sleeps beside me in bed
this is the first of many tight hugs
ahh ahh ahh
(end chorus)

Barrette
(chorus)
barrette, in my long hair
it won’t stay there
because you keep pulling it out
barrette, I will get you back
I’m always ready to attack
and you won’t like that
here I come
(end chorus)

(verse 1)
they say boys tease girls
that they really like
that won’t get you far
I don’t care who you are
Hemingway in my lap
I lost the place that
I was at all because of you

what words leave your lips?
I’ll tease you and pretend to kiss
my surprise when you don’t pull back
I guess it’s not coincidence
you have so much confidence
you’re such a kid
that’s better off dead

(chorus)
barrette, the wind through my hair
leaves you in awe standing there
barrette, the sun in the sky
I just wonder why
you’re so mean to me
tell me why
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
this playground
isn’t big enough
for the two of us
I guess that’s why we play rough

us girls converse
about romance and the universe
but all boys
break their toys

I lay down my sword
you put on your armor
you gave me your word
so it was a farewell to arms
before I could finish the joke
you said the punchline
you were just blowing smoke
I see you coming and oh no
I get up to leave, it’s time to go

(chorus)
barrette, in my long hair
it won’t stay there
because you keep pulling it out
barrette, I will get you back
I’m always ready to attack
and you won’t like that
here I come
(end chorus)

(bridge)
barrette, I knew thee well
but it’s farewell
my hair won fair and square

(chorus)
barrette, the sun in the sky
I just wonder why
you’re so mean to me
tell me why
lalalala
lalalala
lalalala
(end chorus)

Horse of Revolution

(verse 1)

in your heart I'm Leonardo da Vinci

I spark the fire of a renaissance that never stopped

my love is an invention that keeps providing

and brought you into a new age

with me on your side I'll provide enlightenment

I paint you, I draw you, I pass judgement

I'm leading the charge

from black magic to science

look at the work of art I made you

(chorus)

horse of revolution leading the charge

it never stops it can only barge its way through

I'm the rider, I am the inventor

I am the painter and I am the master

freedom in my right hand

knowledge in my left and

you in my heart, history restarts

and we are happy, yes, finally

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

what's hidden behind my Mona Lisa smile?

are you in the know of my secret code?

I've got so many ideas

you probably think they're all brilliant

at our first supper, that won't be the last

because our love has shown resilience

you be the theorist, and I'll be the architect

I will be the engineer and you adhere

out of this middle age

with bloodshed and endless rage

into a romance between me and you

(chorus)

horse of revolution leading the charge

it never stops it can only barge its way through

our love's advanced for our time

there's no punishment to our crime

I've laid down my pride and picked up my passion

with your endless support

I figured out a way to walk on the ocean

I'll be the rocky shores of Italy

you be the countryside of France

say you want to marry

and I will go on the offense

(end chorus)

(bridge)

what a mind, be the priest in my chapel

I only talk to you like this

I don't understand other people

I know a wish doesn't exist

but when it comes to you, I want double

horse of revolution leading the charge

it never stops it can only barge its way through

our love's advanced for our time

there's no punishment to our crime

(chorus)

horse of revolution leading the charge

it never stops it can only barge its way through

I'm the rider, I am the inventor

I am the painter and I am the master

freedom in my right hand

knowledge in my left and

you in my heart, history restarts

and we are happy, yes, finally

(end chorus)

Someone Who Is On Your Side

(verse 1)

I pray at night that you never feel lonely

I keep a close eye on you from afar during daylight

with all of my unimpressive power

it's just in my nature to help

when the clock strikes that hour

you leave immediately with long-stride steps

you stay off to yourself

I wonder if you even have a single friend

or sense of worth

the cosmos put us in the same location at the same time

so that I cannot be

(chorus)

someone who is on your side

someone who won't leave you during the rough ride

even now I think about

how you stay by yourself on Saturdays

you think this princess just sees a pauper

but she sees someone who could be her lover

and take care of each other

for all of their todays together

I'll be your champion

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

the sunset blazes the people down on the street

you like to meet with your thoughts

on this rooftop

your mother must be worried

you're getting older and you're not married

all these things that I could fix

if you'd just wish

you probably don't even know my name

and I force traits upon you like a game

but don't worry, I'm actually not domineering

I'm just a hopeless romantic

(chorus)

someone who is on your side

someone who won't leave you during the rough ride

even now I think about

how you stay by yourself on Saturdays

you think this princess just sees a pauper

but she sees someone who could be her lover

and take care of each other

for all of their todays together

I'll be your champion

(end chorus)

(bridge)

it's like I'm your secret super hero

who never asks anything in return

or for a favor

if the time comes

that's right I'll let him know I like him

but that's only then

(chorus)

someone who is on your side

someone who won't leave you during the rough ride

even now I think about

how you stay by yourself on Saturdays

you think this princess just sees a pauper

but she sees someone who could be her lover

and take care of each other

for all of their todays together

I'll be your champion

(end chorus)

Your Name Is Hope

(verse 1)

you and me walking home from a busy day as usual, nothing new

you exchanged your winter sleeves for appropriate summer clothes

you practicing for baseball at the park

while I watch from the bench

you may not win every game

but I'll always be here to provide a cheer

we do this every spring

and I wouldn't trade it for a thing

my existence became

intertwined with the threads of your life

I feel like you lifted the gloom with sunlight

on the ground we sit and gaze at the sky through the newly green leaves

this will last longer than the cherry blossoms bloom

it was with you that I learned this world is beautiful as can be

(chorus)

from this point, I have somewhere to call home

I have someone that I can always go

and call and he'll answer to my voice

from now on, my heart will no longer roam

this encounter didn't happen coincidentally

I'm tied to you with gold rope

your name is hope itself to me

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

the plaza where we always eat is bustling with people

it's not strange, it's normal

but I've never felt so regular

my past was neither here nor there

but my future is full of nothing but amazing color

you like to tease me

I try to be funny

I learned that love

is given and trust is easy to earn

it's hard to imagine I was once so jaded

all those lessons I learned in the back-alley of life

magically faded

there's simple pleasures in just sharing a meal as a couple

one heart is good, but with two happiness is surely doubled

(chorus)

it's all for me, the love your heart always sends

my hurt is sewn up and on the mend

you sparkle, sparkle no matter what you do

I'm jealous of you

imaginary scenarios pop into my head

the future with you has so many options

your name is one I want to share when we elope

because you are full of hope

(end chorus)

(bridge)

perhaps is it that

we bring out the best in each other?

you've got your dad's smile

and your disposition from your mother

I can't help but make comparisons

but I trust you to lead me into

something brand new

no matter what, I understand how to be your match

I know this is a love that will last

you're a man that I will follow

yes

(chorus)

from this point, I have somewhere to call home

I have someone that I can always go

and call and he'll answer to my voice

from now on, my heart will no longer roam

this encounter didn't happen coincidentally

I'm tied to you with gold rope

your name is hope itself to me

I'm so happy, yeah

from today onwards

wow, wow, wow

(end chorus)

Meaning of Goodbye
(verse 1)
my heart got broken in two
my tears fell and they fell
the look on my face must have really surprised you
you’d never seen me like that

I know it doesn’t have to be sad
I know there’s no reason to get mad
sometimes the same path we walk together diverges
and we have to split up

the time has finally come (the time has finally come)
I’ll never be the same (I’ll never be the same)
if you think of me when you get lonely
I still have my photographs
that I took of us, let’s cherish

(chorus)
sayonara to me means to let go
and although I won’t get to see you
I’ll still have everything that we ever shared
as I step into the future as just me
I promise to myself to get stronger
so when we meet up again
I can say I didn’t lose, that I win
and we’ll have no reason to be sorry
we can protect precious memories and not worry
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
our trains took two different routes
my tree died but came back at the roots
the seasons changed, but my lips are still frozen cold
and I get lost in stories you told

I found goodbye has a meaning
there’s so much pain because there were happy memories
it’s like poetry spoken but never written
something between two people left behind

the precious things you gave (the precious things you gave)
the things I count I have (the things I count I have)
half of them belonged to you first
and I will carry them until I have them last

(chorus)
sayonara was the first of many
but they never became anymore easy
the heart can begin healing
by falling in love yet again
the last words that we spoke
it turns out they can be reused and said
you let me down easy, but the pain was heavy
but because of you, I can be strong too
(end chorus)

(bridge)
always believe in love
it’s real and it’s true (never ever feel blue)
I hope you find someone who
makes you feel like I do (even though it’s not me)
I loved you so but (I loved you so but)
you had to find something that
chimed when you were the wind
and even then
I feel the tears well up in my eyes

goodbye begins in one heart
and it grows until two people are apart
for many reasons and circumstances
I don’t need to know but, to me, it plagues
though what can I do?

(chorus)
sayonara to me means to let go
and although I won’t get to see you
I’ll still have everything that we ever shared
as I step into the future as just me
I promise to myself to get stronger
so when we meet up again
I can say I didn’t lose, that I win
and we’ll have no reason to be sorry
people fall apart then get back together
we can protect precious memories and not worry
(end chorus)
