Jason Mraz - Did You Get My Message?

Did you get my message, the one I left
While I was trying to condense 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
[Rachel Yamagata:] 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
[Rachel Yamagata:] 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 condense everything that I meant
[Rachel Yamagata:] Now the moment is passed
Not much sand in the glass 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 sympathetic 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
[Rachel Yamagata:] no I didn′t hear a word you said
Did you get my message
[Rachel Yamagata:] 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
[Rachel Yamagata:] 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
[Rachel Yamagata and Mraz:] That I want to reconnect with you

Jason Mraz - I′ll Do Anything

Go make your next choice be your best choice
And if you′re looking for a boy with a voice, well baby I′m single
Are you in the mood for some dude, are you in the mood to be subdued
Or would you rather just mingle?
Let′s get set then to go then and let us jet set we′ll be like the jetsons
You can be Jane my wife. Should I marry Jane tonight?

I would if I could. I′d do anything spontaneously.

Or we can keep chilling like ice cream filling
We can be cool in the gang if you′d rather hang
Ain′t no thing. I can be lugubrious with you.
I got no ifs ands ors no wits or whats about it
But this place is getting crowded and my house is two blocks away
Or maybe closer

I would if I could. I′d do anything spontaneously.
You know I would, if I could. I′ll do anything spontaneously.

If you could be nimble, you′d have it simple just like me.
So go on and try it, do not deny yourself your freedom.

So step on up to the plate get a date with Mraz
See you better act fast because supplies they never
Now did you know this is limited time offer
So go make your mind up before our times up
You better start winding it up because the party′s almost over
(and if you should know girl, go a little bit lower now)

see how I would, if I could. I′d do anything spontaneously.
You know I would, and I can prove it. I′ll do anything spontaneously.

Jason Mraz - Boy′s Gone

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 judgement 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.

Jason Mraz - That′ll Do

When I wake up,
and the day begins,
do I hold my breath
and count to ten?
Or will it be three?
We′ll see, we′ll see.
It depends on which day of the week.
And so I sing out,
I sing out loud.
I′m just one tiny motherfucker singing proud.
Singing glory,
Glory,
Hallelujah.
Yeah, that′ll do.
Yeah, that′ll do.
In the arms of a city
that holds no trace for,
the face or,
space for you and me.
So go make your life,
not a living.
Singing glory,
Glory,
Hallelujah.
Yeah, that′ll do.
There′s things to know,
and so we′re told.
But the days
keep rolling on so painfully slow.
They say there′s ways to grow,
but blow by blow,
Ya see, it all gets lost somewhere.
See, I already forgot.
So sing out,
Sing out loud.
You can be another mother fucker singing proud.
Singing glory,
Glory,
Remind me, glory, glory, glory, hallelu...
We should all keep pretending,
that our dreams are patent pending,
You should see
some of the scenes that I′ve seen.
And I know love,
′cause I′ve flown above
and beyond,
but it′s still too long of a wait.
So I sing out,
I sing out loud,
We can be 10,000 mother fuckers singing proud,
Sing out glory, glory, glory, glory, hallelu..
Yea, that′ll do,
Yea, that′ll do.
I′ll sing my stories for you,
and you will sing for me, too,
and together,
we can make it through.
They say,
"When you sing you′re prayin′ twice."
Don′t that sound nice?
So, rise up,
come on, and give it a try.
So sing out,
Sing out loud,
We can be 6 billion mother fuckers singing proud,
Oh, sing it loud,
Sing glory,
Glory, glory, glory,
Hallelu... Hallelu... Hallelu...
Hal... Hal... Hallelu... Hallelu... jah...
Hallelujah...
Hallelu...
Oh, say hallelu..

Jason Mraz - Older Love Undercover

Well an old saying goes mind your manners mind your mother And a man can find a lover who is tan and
undercover Well she might lies about her age, but lady I got no complaints

She can be as crazy and as foolish as she wants to be Because her old school ways are practically
technicalities and perfectly sane I′m saying I ain′t never seen a saint.

Well I met her at an old cop bar down in silverlake Where we spoke about the give and we joked about
the take And when they asked for identification I knew hers probably was a fake

She′s just another older lover undercover.

You′re wearing that thin disguise. Don′t apologize. And you′re birthday suit suits you. Well it
suits me too it′s one hell of a costume I can′t find the zipper anywhere on your back Perhaps it′s
attached to the breach of your ass-crack

(Burr it′s cold in here. You keep it hot dear.)

with a sip of mexican coffee and some grapefruit juice a glass of coke a glass of wine just to keep
it loose oh the things that you say and do, wow. And the way that you move to the music Like the who
and the velvet underground old sounds You like indie rock, spock rock, anything you′ve found In the
backseat of your downtown brown and bruised beat up bmw

Any melodramatic role is just a garment of the soul I respect your nakedness and the way that you
unfold and the way your wiser stories are always told

Jason Mraz - The Joker Mash-up With Everything I Own

Some people call me the space cowboy
Some call me the gangster love
And some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the competence of love.
Well, people talkin about me, baby
They say I′m doing wrong, I′m doing wrong.
Don′t you worry, don′t you worry, don′t you worry dirty mama,
Cause I′m right here, right here, right here, right here headin′ home.

I′m a picker, I′m a grinner, I′m a lover, and I′m a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I′m a joker, I′m a smoker, I′m a midnight toker.
I get my lovin′ on the run.

You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my love to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you

People talking about me baby
They say I′m doing, I′m doing, I′m doing you all wrong
Don′t you worry, don′t you worry mama
Right here, right here, right home

Is there someone you know
You′re lovin them so
But taken them all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they dont hear the words you long to say

I′m a picker, I′m a grinner, I′m a lover, a sinner
I play my music in the sun, I play my music in the sun
I′m a joker, a smoker, and I′m a midnight toker.
She don′t wanna hurt no one

Some people call me the space cowboy
Some call the gangster love
And some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak the competence of love
I speak the competence
Cause I speak of love (once again)

Jason Mraz - It′s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday

How do I say good bye to what we had,
The good times that made us laugh outweigh the bad
I thought we′d get to see forever but forever′s gone away
It′s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

I don′t know where this road is going to lead
All I know is where we′ve been and what we have been through
If we get to see tomorrow, I hope it′s worth all the wait
It′s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

And I′ll take with me the memories to be my sunshine after the rain
It′s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
And I′ll take with me the memories to be my sunshine after the rain
It′s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
It′s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

Jason Mraz - Not So Unusual

This is the most unusual story
of a most unusual girl
She′s the paint in my picture
of a most unusual world

She can crawl out a frame
while she′s hanging on the wall
And she′s calling my name
she′s not so usual

She′s most unusual
Shes not so usual
She′s so unusual

She′s mostly a ghost
the way she watches over me
She complains when I smoke
but then you do the same to me

She′s controlling my brain activity
knowing when I go to sleep
She′ll catch me when I′m falling hard
she′s so unusual

She′s not usual
She′s not usual
She′s so unusual

She′s not so
hooked on the drugs like I thought she was
And never suckin′ on the lime and hardly sippin′ on the wine
And despite
of her bi-polar roller coastering
I think I can trust she′ll keep me singing differently

And that′s fine
′Cause she′s with me now most all of the time

Trying and savin′ the light
Thinking not of her own
And always kissing me goodnight
When I just need to be alone
She′s so sweet
So discrete
-She′s exactly what I need
Not even make believe...

she′s not so usual...

She′s so unusual
She′s not so usual
So unusual

Oh, Not so usual
and not too practual either,

What′s that, she′s
not so mystical
but not too magical neither,

I said she′s
not so out of control
and not so used to the full

she′s not so usual

naw shes a natural

oh she′s not so
usual

shes most usual

she′s not so usual

shes so unusual

shes gonna use me up

shes not so you
shes not so you
not so you
not so

Jason Mraz - On Love In Sadness

Oh love it′s a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
It′s not falsified to say that I found god so inevitably well,
It still exists pale and fine. I can′t dismiss
And I won′t resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and in the rain endure.
The rust and the rain are sins
And I′m in like Flynn again

So go on place your order now cause some other time is right around the clock
You can stand in line. it finally begins just around the clock
You can have your pick if your stomach is sick whether you eat or not
And there is just one thing that I never forgot

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and in the rain so easy
These are the comforts that be

You see well I′m feeling lucky oh well, maybe that′s just me
You should be proud of me oh hell if you could only see
That we′re gonna grow on up to be, ah yes
We are thick as thieves

Oh love it′s a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
It′s not falsified to say that I found god
Inevitably, well it still exists pale and fine I can′t dismiss
And I won′t resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind and the rust and the rain endure
(the rust and the rain endure. I′m sure.)

I am insofar to know the measure of love isn′t loss
Love will never ever be insofar to know the measure of love isn′t loss
Love will never ever be lost on me.
Love will never ever be lost on me.

Jason Mraz - Please Don′t Tell Her

I hear she′s kicking 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, and she easy go
Please don′t tell her that I′ve been meaning to 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 the 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
′Cause she don′t really need to know

That I′m crazy like the rest of us
And I′m crazier when I′m next to her

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
But I′m crazier when I′m next to her
And it′s amazing how she′s so self-assured
But 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
I don′t

Jason Mraz - The Remedy (I Won′t Worry)

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 gots the poison I′ve gots 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 when 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 gots the poison, I′ve gots 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 when 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 when 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.

Jason Mraz - I Won′t Give Up

Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmm ...

When I look into your eyes
It′s like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There′s so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you′ve come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won′t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I′m giving you all my love
I′m still looking up

And when you′re needing your space
To do some navigating
I′ll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

′Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We′ve got a lot to learn
God knows we′re worth it
No, I won′t give up

I don′t wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I′m here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you′re still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn′t break, we didn′t burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I′ve got, and what I′m not
And who I am

I won′t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I′m giving you all my love
I′m still looking up
Still looking up.

I won′t give up on us (no I′m not giving up)
God knows I′m tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We′ve got a lot to learn (we′re alive, we are loved)
God knows we′re worth it (and we′re worth it)

I won′t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I′m giving you all my love
I′m still looking up

Jason Mraz - I′m Yours

Well you′ve done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you′re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I′m trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I′ll be giving it my bestest
Nothing′s going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some

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
It′s our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love
love

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

Do you want to, come on, scootch over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I′ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the
mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I′ll be saying 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 sure
There′s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, 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
so please don′t please don′t please don′t.
There′s no need to complicate
′cause our time is short
This oh this oh this is our fate I′m yours

Oh I′m yours

I won′t hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It′s our God-forsaken right to be loved, I′m sure
Theres no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I′m yours

No I won′t hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I′m sure
There′s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I′m yours, I′m yours

Jason Mraz - All That Lies

Don′t get me wrong cause I don′t want to know what the truth is
I believe that I′d be here with or without it
All that lies around put me where I am, where I stand

Tell me can you hear all the pretty sounds to hear
Tell me can you see all that lies around

Do you want to ride down the hill on my back?
On my back lying down on the job
Nobody slacking over here

Tell me can you look around, look around, look around
Everything is falling, falling down
Take your key and lock me up
Anything you wanna know, anything at all I′m gonna tell you
Anything you want to know.

And I know far away, far away, far away, far away lies a man, lies a man
Doing what he can far away, far away
Doing what he likes for a man far away
Far away he lies awake and says what he′s doing
He do the best that he can.

Jason Mraz - Conversation With Myself

Crazy, now what′cha doing?
Just the same, well I think I′m right
Crazy how fast you′re moving
As our friendship pays for your lonely night

This is a conversation with myself

It′s okay to dance around it and have it your way
Laugh about it, oh for goodness sake
Don′t believe in anything that′s keeping you awake

I′m feeling all sentimental and feeling all thru my head
I′m feeling all very sexual but feeling all by myself instead

This is a conversation with myself

It′s okay to dance around it and have it your way
Laugh about it, oh for goodness sake
Don′t believe in anything that′s keeping you awake
Loverboy, lovergirl,
You need a song to sleep to and morning to sleep thru
And have it your way.

You better have it your way with yourself.
You better have it your way anytime.
You better have it you way with yourself and only yourself
You better have it yours and baby you know that I′ll have mine.

Jason Mraz - What We Want

I′m older than I look I see the man staring at my ID
He reads my face and studies lines no plagiarizing
No copyright. I′m right before your very eyes
When you say my name I′m suddenly I′m young again
Young as he thinks I am.

All the words that I hoped you′d say were stated right there in the cafe
We stayed out late and spoke of the worlds perfections
This perfect date was headed in the right direction
Conversation break, we spoke more in the silence
We got a little lot of what we want

What we want.

I′m so in love finally.
I waited patiently for all of my life.
It happened overnight.
We spoke more in the silence
We got a little lot of what we want.

Jason Mraz - Quiet

I want to, I want to hold you

Every time I go home there′s another cellphone tower
Construction getting louder, paving over yesterdays
You and I, we will try to find the side of it that′s pretty
While our town becomes a city, we won′t let it be erased
Empires rise, empires fall
Will you be my constant through it all?

I will hold your hand and watch the world spin idly around this life we′re in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it′s you I′m with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it′s you I′m with
You, you, you..

Every once in a while, you know I get these real bad headaches
Worried about the mistakes that I′ve made along the way
You and I, we can′t hide from the fact that we need each other
How else will I recover when the fever comes again

Temperatures rise, temperatures fall
Will you be my constant through it all?

I will hold your hand and watch the world spin idly around this life we′re in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it′s you I′m with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it′s you I′m with
You, you, you..

There are no words, no words when I′m with you, you, you
Every time I hear music, they′ve added more stuff to it
Things are always moving into a futuristic place
Where you and I will try, we′ll try to dance into tomorrow
But time will have to borrow, not a minute left to waste

Heartbeats rise, heartbeats fall
Will you be my constant through it all?

I will hold your hand and watch the world spin idly around this life we′re in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it′s you I′m with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it′s you I′m with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it′s you I′m with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it′s you I′m with

Jason Mraz - Curbside Prophet

I’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I’m waiting for my rocket to come
I’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I’m waiting for my rocket, ya′ll

y’see it started way back in nyc
when i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.
at a west end avenue at 63
the beginning of a leap year, february, ’96
with a guitar picked up in the mix
i committed to the licks like a nickel bag of tricks
well look at me now
look at me now
look at me now, now, now, now

i′m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i′m waiting for my rocket to come
i′m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i′m waiting for my rocket, ya′ll

well you’re never gonna guess
where i’ve been been been
and i have no regrets
that i bet my whole checking account
because it all amounts to nothing up in the end

well you can only count on the road again
we’ll soon be on the radio dial
and i been payin close attention to the willie nelson style
like a band of gypsies on the highway while
i’m one man pushin’ on the california skyline drive
up the coast I brag and I boast
i ’m pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost
raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most
put my cruise control′s on coast
cuz i′m tourin′ around the nation on extended vacation see
I got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitation
i say, "i like your style, crazy pound pup!
you need a ride? [*woof*]
well come on, girl, hop in the truck!"

i′m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i′m waiting for my rocket to come
i′m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i′m waiting for my rocket, ya′ll
i′m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i′m waiting for my rocket to come on
i′m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i′m waiting for my rocket, ya′ll

see i′m a down home brother, redneck undercover
with my guitar here
i′m ready to play
and i′m s a sucker for a filly
got a natural ability I′m geared to freestyle
look at my flexibility
dangerous at the mike
my ghetto hat′s cocked right
the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
the backstage betties taking more than they can get
they say, "what′s up with m-r-a-z?"

hey, hey, something′s different in my world today
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
hey, hey, something′s different in my world today
they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
i′m just a curbside prophet
curbside prophet now
curbside prophet now
curbside
come on, now
curbside prohet
waiting for my rocket to come...

Jason Mraz - No Doubling Back

it′s been nice to hold your hand
as we shifted through this twisted abandon
i would like to think that you will know your way
we have dodged the ropes of rain
well the cats and dogs well they love to play
on the handsome fella with umbrella
who once saved you your day
and i will ask you to open my door from your side
from the inside after you drive
because i wanna stay wet for a little bit longer
that′s why
i warm the engine compartment up
while i stand here and think it up
but it′s a little too early to bury the worries
til this wish is my command

and i wonder, wonder which one of us
is gonna state the obvious
and i wonder if you already know
that i gotta let you go
i know this ain′t the way i planned it
i guess i ain′t the great romantic
and i′m not doubling back now
no doubling back
doubling back now

well before i catch you complaining that it hardly rains at all
let me stop to lock the top
for fear of it falling hard
by the eyes were ears and the arms are
scars of where the war was waged on words that we heard as a joke
how did it drown our love
oh lord
when it rains it′s sure to pour
but when i look in your eyes
i fear i won′t see surprise
that i′m not doubling back cause

i wonder, wonder which one of us
is gonna state the obvious
and then i wonder if you already know
that i gotta let you go
i know this ain′t the way i planned it
i guess i ain′t the great romantic
and i′m not doubling back now
no doubling back now
doubling back now
no doubling back now
doubling back now
no doubling back now
doubling back now
no doubling back now
doubling back now
no doubling back now
doubling back now

no doubling back now
no turning around now
no going back now
no

Jason Mraz - You And I Both

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I′m looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love, the love that I love.

See I′m all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now,
Oh love, no
You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore, mmm...
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well I′m almost finally out of
I′m finally out of
Finally deedeedeedee
Well I′m almost finally, finally
Well I′m free, oh, I′m free

And it′s okay if you have to go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I′ll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that′s okay
Cause I′ll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see me now
well I′m almost finally out of.
I′m finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I′m almost finally, finally, out of words.

Jason Mraz - Did I Fool Ya?

Daddy songs he′s an auctioneer
And mother clings to anniversary years
And the sister she got a little bit of mister in her
And the brothers going round around his bed

And I say, did I fool ya?
Didn′t daddy fool ya?
He go once, he going twice He go for 35 or 40
He go once, he going twice He go for 45 or 50
He go once, he going twice He go 55 or maybe he will make it up to 65
He go once, he going twice ain′t it nice price wise?
I gotta a nice life for the price

I give and give and I lay it all down
Look what I found I give and give
I give and give and I lay it all down
Look what I found, look what I found
Blue skies they′re smiling at me
And that′s my favorite melody
But I can′t read I can′t read
I can′t read between the things unseen
And I don′t mind I don′t mind
I don′t mind if I don′t find because I tried

I′m absolutely definite absolutely positive
Absolutely definitely positive
I′m absolutely definite absolutely positive
Absolutely definitely positively representative

So why the bother with it
Did I fool ya? Or didn′t daddy fool ya?
He go once, he going twice He go for 35 or 40
He go once, he going twice He go for 45 or 50
He go once, he going twice He go 55 or maybe he will make it up to 65
He go once, he going twice Ain′t it nice price wise?
I gotta a nice life for the price

Jason Mraz - Too Much Food

You can say that I′m one curly fry in the box of the regular
Messing with the flavor oh the flavor that you savor
Saving me for last but you better not eat me at all
Living in a fast food bag making friends with the ketchup and salt
People say that I′m crazy for not moving on to better things
Instead I′m sitting around trash talking with the onion rings
But it′s much too soon to leave this easy life
Pass me the spoon. Pass the analytical knife

Now you′re about to get cut up or get cut down
It′s all about the wordplay all about the sound in the tone of my voice
You gotta let me make my choice alone before my food gets cold
Better shut up or get shot down. It s all about the know how all just a matter of taste
Stop telling me the way I gotta play. Too much food on my plate.

Believe it or not I super sized my sights on the surprise in the cereal box
My stomachs smaller than my eyes
so I went to see the doctor and he said "turn your head and then cough"
I didn′t listen to what he said instead I couldn′t wait to get off
He said I can have this but I cant have that
That I should keep wishing I was living the life of a cat because
I ain′t the one whose gonna be missing the feast
Just like you ain′t the one who seems to be calming the beast

Now you′re about to get cut up or get cut down
It′s all about the wordplay all about the sound in the tone of my voice
You gotta let me make my choice alone before my food gets cold
Better shut up or get shot down. It s all about the know how all just a matter of taste
Stop telling me the way I gotta play. Too much food on my plate.

Well if you are what you eat in my case I′ll be sweet so come and get some
I′m so over it.

Now you′re about to get cut up or get cut down
It s all about the know how all just a matter of taste
Stop telling me the way I gotta play. Too much food on my plate.
(Get up and get some)
there′s too much food on my plate

Jason Mraz - A World With You

Let′s hit the road and throw out the map
Wherever we go, we won′t look back
Cause we′re going places and we′re going there fast
And let′s move to Paris and get ourselves a loft
Let′s live in squalor, and spend all cost
Let′s throw caution to the wind and start over again

Think how many doors we′ll open
Just as many stars are shining
Who knows where we′re going
Yeah who knows what we′ll find
I want to see the world
The way I see a world with you

Let′s hike in the mountains and challenge our will
Let′s leap over canyons and get lost in the hills
I want to see the world the way I see a world with you

Think how many doors we′ll open
Just as many stars are sure to shine
Who knows where we′re going
And who knows what we′ll find
I want to see the world
The way I see a world with you

All of our plans will be at sea
The sum of all our failures,
They cannot hurt us now
Let′s hoist up ourselves
And shove off to China and climb up a wall
We′ll keep on climbing, looking over it all
Laughing it up, yeah having a ball

Think how many doors we′ll open
Just as many stars are going to shine
Who knows where we′re going
And who knows what we′ll find
I want to see the world
The way I see a world with you
I want to see the world
The way I see a world with you

Jason Mraz - Childlike Wild

Well I guess I′ll treat her right, I guess I′ll treat her right more this time.
I′ll try not to rely, try not to rely on the perfect line and I see no boundaries.
Except for the ones I′m in. and I don′t expect you to overcome them for that′s my job description.
In a world of players and private eyes unless you realize this there′s a whole lot you could miss.
Do you know which one I am? I am the cigarette smoking man.
Once an hour I light the flower and burn baby burn.
When is it your turn? Lord tell me when the sun goes down.
Cause I feel much better then anyway. Well I see much much better then anyway.
Well I feel exposed although I feel at home dressed as a black plastic rose all flowing head
shoulders knees and toes.
We dance, we dance, we play, we rant and rave.
Oh this childlike wildlife is flooring me. Oh this childlike wildlife is flooring me.

Early in the morning. Late in the evening. Evening, we kinda get delirious
Breaking from the seriousness I try not to get disoriented
Having chewed too many up on my side, is it any wonder how I miss your style
Is it any wonder how I write... pages layered upon pages
Which to no one else but me can be accounted for, for this moments sake
I do not become me, for path tunnels or straightaways I do not watch as often as I should
So instead I sketch my life a comfortable creature
Slow and beautifully.
Oh the smell and tastes of the past nights, well they′re still locked up in my gentle jaw
Not that I am wanting them to go, just that they are... and I′m very much aware
The madness of slow motion as you move your legs to walk, I′m very much aware
Of this madness when you talk.
This childlike wildlife is flooring me, oh this childlike wildlife is flooring me.
We dance, we play, oh lord we rant and rave. We dance and we play always.

Jason Mraz - Little You & I

you close your eyes you say goodnight in your own special way you rest your head and you rest your
mind and there you go

there you go so fast, so fast asleep there you are without a care when or where but there you are I
swear without a care where it is you lay

spiraling spaces tangled up in moments of touching time trying to find some somewhere sleeping
sideways pockets full of nothing, head exploding from the mind too much time for dancing in our hair
sister don′t be shy between little you and I

mouths in line, tears beside and we′re gonna weep in between the sleep until we float away into
broken promises too much too hard to keep

and we would sell our souls to the devil if he promised us hell it′s something we already know so
well and it′s right on, right on the tip of our tongue something big that has already begun
(something dead but not quite numb) and I′m singing it

mouths in line, tears beside and we′re gonna weep in between the sleep until we float away into
broken promises too much too hard to keep

Jason Mraz - Water

The eye of the storm meets the eye of the mind sending it spinning
Spinning not knowing which way is up not knowing which way to go
The eye of the mind blushes in lust of all the answers for years of tears, years in fear...

Oh the bitter water; satiated, covered in salt
Keeping me afloat, moving me along
And I can see everything. I can see thru buildings...
All the shattered lives and the battered wives...
And everybody′s hypnotized by the dancing light
TV sets making everybody go blind.

And I can see thru you.
And when I look inside I know...

That you are living in a fantasy world taking your time, running your mind on low
And you are living in a fantasy land holding nobody′s hand but your own
I said, "I can see everything"

One drop of rain that′s me and all the rest is you
Who shook these trees? Let me guess did they come in two′s?
When you′re dealing with the fruits of the universe
You shake that apple tree, life deals you an orange, either way you′re cursed

Oh the bitter water, satiated, covered in salt
Keeping me afloat, and always moving me along

It′s keeping me on top of the water
Keeping me on top of the world
Keeping me on top I′m looking out
Just to see what everything is all about
And I know where it is... just don′t know exactly what it is...

Jason Mraz - Make It Mine

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 and the net will appear

I don′t wanna wake before
The dream 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

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 Cafй

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

I don′t wanna wait no more
No I wanna celebrate the whole world
I′m gonna make it mine
Because 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 all mine
It′s mine...
Yes I will make it all mine

Jason Mraz - No Stopping Us

Would it take a bakers dozen to get my point to you?
Would it take a half a pound to roll a joint for you
Would it take some hailing mary′s so full of grace to get my sound to you
Will you help me break it down and get on thru

Down to the other side
Its easy of you only try
We don′t lie down on the job
Because once we hit the top there′s no stopping us

Should I address all my letters to the well to be
Should I say return to sender is just a well be done
Should I better not take it so personall if all the good loving is never received
Baby if it was me well I wouldn′t think twice

No not i..
See its easy if you only try
We don′t lie down on the job
Because once we hit the top there′s no stopping us.

I will drive a thousand miles or I′ll meet you at the station
If only you would take a vacation from this thing you have created
I promise to make it worth your while

So c′mon try. Baby wont you try
It′s easy if you do not run
I promise you you′ll have your fun
Because once we hit the top we′ve just begun

There′s no stopping us.

Jason Mraz - Love Is Real

love is real
it is not just in novels or the movies
it is fact
and it is standing here
right in front of you
so if you just open your eyes
oh what a sweet discovery
there is hope and there is joy
and there is acceptance
so let all the light that collects on your plants
keep you warm, make you smile
and i will be there with this pen in my hand
to record all the while
you′ll be laughing so loud
that the house would shake with sound
and everything will be as new as the day it was found

oh, love is real
it is not just in long distance commercials
or something that you thought you felt
back in high school
so i will turn black and white
become that horoscope you′re reading
it predicts that something good is on its way
oh, and i′ll send you all the world, green and blue in a box
through the mail
you can open it up
hold it right in your hand
and be glad that it′s there
and be glad that you′re there
now you can feel all the knots in your stomach
they start to untie
and suddenly it′s not so hard to say you′re alright

oh, love is real
it is not just in poetry or stories
it is truth and it will follow you
everywhere you go from now on
so if you just cast off your doubts
then your lips would answer for you
oh my darlin when you smile
it is like a song
and i can hear it now
an i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
and i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
and i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
sing i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now

Jason Mraz - Absolutely Zero

You. You were a friend. You were a friend of mine I let you spend the night
You see it was my fault. Of course it was mine.
I′m too hard at work. Have you ever heard of anything so absurd ever in your life.
I′m sorry for wasting your time.

See who am I to say this situation isn′t great? When it′s my job to make the most of it
Of course I didn′t know that it would happen to me. Not that easy.

Hey what′s that you say? You′re not blaming me for anything well that′s great
But I don′t break that easy. Does it fade away?
So that′s why I′m, I′m apologizing now for telling you I thought that we could make it
I just don′t get enough to believe that we′ve both changed.

See who am I to say this situation isn′t great? It′s my time to make the most of it
Of course I didn′t know that it would happen to me. Not that easy.
If all along the fault is up for grabs why can′t you have it
If it′s for sale what is your offer, I′ll sell it for no less than what I bought it for
Pay no more than absolutely zero.

Well neither one of us deserves the blame because opportunities moved us away
And it′s not an easy thing to learn to play a game that′s made for two that′s you and me
The rules remain a mystery. See it can be easy.

See who am I to say this situation isn′t great? It′s our time to make the most of it
How could we ever know that this would happen to me, not that easy, no
When all along the fault is up for grabs and there you have it
If it′s for sale what is your offer, I′ll sell it for no less than what I bought it for
Pay no more than absolutely zero.

Jason Mraz - Geek In The Pink

[Record scratching sounds]
[Rapper] Yo, brother A to Z
[Mraz] Yo, whassup B?
[Rapper] Yo, what time is it?
[Mraz] Haha it′s laundry day

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
Well, 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 she might think about me
You can vibe without me if you want
I could be the one to take her home
Baby we 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 out
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

Like the geek in the pink
Like the geek in the pink, pink, pink
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 she might think about me
You′ll get by without me if she wants
I could be the one to take her 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 out
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

Hey baby look at me go
From zero to hero
You better 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 she might think about me
You′ll get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you/her 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 out/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

Like the geek in the pink
Well, I′m the geek in the pink, yo pink pink
Geek is the color for fall, I′m the geek in the pink yeah
So I′m the geek yo, in the pink yo.
Hahah, y′all geek is the new color for fall
I′m the geek in the pink

Jason Mraz - The Darkest Space

well i′m not just a song anymore
i might be the whole damn score
i might be reeling in your head
while you′re sleeping in your bed at night
i′m not just alone anymore
well i finally found what i was looking for
i might be sitting in the passenger side
but not along for the ride
cause i′ve got control of a homegrown situation
i lay back and then i turn the alarm off
and turn out the light
there′s gonna be some quality sleeping
cause quality′s keeping
the quality up at night
i am fixed to lay alone with my arms out
learning to fly

through the darkest space
well i try to catch up to the
catchphrased human race
i say let the games begin
underways
said in conditions that we play in
oh, maybe these things are better this way
oh may the games begin today
oh well, oh well

cause i′m just above
in the ailing aggravation of love
and i raise to optimistical fortune
toasting it twice
and i′m sitting high on an anytime, anyday night
and i laugh to think of crying my eyes out
well isn′t it nice

through the darkest space
well i try to catch up to the
catchphrased human race
i say let the games begin
underway
say in conditions that we play in
oh maybe these things, maybe these things
may the games begin
in open space
oh lord
well i finally catch up to the
catchphrased human race
i say, honey, let the games begin
underway, underway said in conditions that we play
oh maybe these things
maybe these things
maybe these, maybe these things should begin today
boy, oh lord
this whole damn world is your toy, lord
don′t you want some, love love love, love
don′t you want some, some some
always stay the same
but don′t you want your love
to never be the same as the last day
don′t you want

Jason Mraz - Halfway Home

I used to walk along the opposite side of the road and made others get out of my way
I used to think I could sit and wait for the times
but they wont come until I meet them halfway

I′m halfway home and I′m on my own
I′m halfway there and I don′t care, I don′t mind
I plan to leave here after supper time
that′s when traffic is light, all I need is a sign
and I′ll be alright. I′ll be fine

I used to think that i could just sleep and then I′d dream
And everything it would come to me
Until I woke one day without anything to eat
Lying on the opposite side of the street

I′m halfway home and I′m still out on my own
I′m halfway there and I don′t care, I don′t mind
Because it ain′t my time to stay or say.
I′ll never lay down.

I used to think that I could just sit and wait for the time
But I know I gotta meet them halfway

I′m halfway home I tried home running with the flow
I′m halfway there. Ain′t it funny how everybody seems to care
I planned to get there around supper time their serving up bread and wine
All I needed was a sign and I′ll be alright.
I′ll be fine.

Jason Mraz - If It Kills Me

Hello, tell me you know
Yeah, you figured me out
Something gave it away
It would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now

And baby that′s a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing
Well you and I
Why, we go carrying on for hours on end
We get along much better
Than you and your boyfriend

[Chorus:]
Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can′t say it after all we′ve been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me

How long, can I go on like this,
Wishing to kiss you,
Before I rightly explode?
This double life I lead isn′t healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all

Cause maybe there′s a lot that I miss
In case I′m wrong

[Chorus]

If I should be so bold
I′d ask you to hold my heart in your hand
I′d tell you from the start how I′ve longed to be your man
But I never said I would
I guess I′m gonna miss my chance again

All I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can′t say it after all we′ve been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
I think it might kill me

And all I really want from you is to feel me
Yeah, the feeling inside keeps building
I′ll find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
It might kill me

Jason Mraz - Sleeping To Dream

I′m dreaming of sleeping next to you I′m feeling like a lost little boy in a brand new town
I′m counting my sheep and each one that passes is another dream to ashes
and they all fall down.

As I lay me down tonight,
I close my eyes and what a beautiful sight

I′m sleeping to dream about you
I′m so tired of having to live without you
So I′m sleeping to dream about you and I′m so tired

I found myself in the riches (Your eyes, your lips, your hair.) Well you were everywhere
But I woke up in the ditches. I hit the light and I thought you might be here
but you were nowhere. You were nowhere at home.

As I lay me back to sleep
Lord I pray that I can keep

Sleeping to dream about you
I′m so tired of having to live without you
So I′m sleeping to dream about you and I′m so tired

(It′s just a little a lullaby to keep myself from crying myself to sleep at night.)

Sleeping to dream about you
I′m so tired of having to live without you
So I′m sleeping to dream about you and I′m so tired

Jason Mraz - Who Needs Shelter

Good-day sunlight
I′d like to say how truly bright you are
You don′t know me but I know you
You′re my favorite star
Follow you I will so lets get moving

Who needs shelter when the mornings coming?
Absolutely there′s no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?
Not me, no. not anyone.

By your clock the cock rooster crows
Then off to work where everybody goes
Slow, But eventually they get there
Picking up the day shift back where all left off
Confined and pecking at relationships
You know it′s only a worthless piece of shit

Who needs shelter when the mornings coming?
Absolutely there′s no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?
Not me, no. not anyone.

I′d sleep it all away but the sun wont let me
I′d miss those lovely days of summer

Good-day sunlight
I′d like to say how truly bright you are
You don′t know me but I know you
You′re my favorite.

Jason Mraz - Details In The Fabric

(feat. James Morrison)

Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads saying
Breaking yourself up

If it′s a broken part, replace it
But, if it′s a broken arm then brace it
If it′s a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your own name
And go your own way

And everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
Mmmhmm

Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I′m doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything, everything will be fine
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you′re shocked it′s just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

Yeah everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic (Go your own way)
Is it Mother Nature′s sewing machine?

Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you′re shocked it′s just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold

Jason Mraz - Dreamlife Of Rand Mcnally

Who is he, Mr. Rand McNally?
I had I dream that mystery was me. Now who else could I be?

I dreamed I went to England and met the spice girls there for tea
They lost one more they′re down from four to my favorite number three
But they′re still quite spicy as the orange flavor
And oh so nice to do me the favor and lick my icing under the table now
But I gotta leave town mr. Nally, just as scary spice was about to go down on me
And don′t ask how mr. Nally and give up the towel mr. Nally and run.

I dreamed I went to Singapore got bored and robbed a liquor store
What for? Nobody knows I only took a couple of Marlboros
Oh but that was all they needed and the criminal was soon defeated
And now in jail I′m waiting for my punishment of caining
So I gotta think fast mr nally watch your ass, wake up and laugh and run

Better Mr run, mr rand, mr mac, mr nally
Mr run, mr man, you got the knack for the rally And run.

I had a chance to visit the north pole but it was way too cold to smoke
Oh my nose was freezing I should could use some coughing and wheezing
So I tried it anyway and the place went up in flames
How was I suppose to know you could catch fire to the snow
Oh lord way to go mr nally, way to go, now you′re melting the poles mr nally so run.

I jumped ship in NYC and headed south to Washington DC
Didn′t think I′d go there but played some shows there fancy lucky me
But it is really slow there with our new president on TV
Too many politicians and liberal Christians they′re all set out for me
Singing cast your vote mr nally, castrate your vote, no you don′t, just run

I thumbed a ride across the prairie, I got hitched in Vegas, yep, I got married
To a lady who loved me she thought it′s be funny to gamble all my money
And I got stranded without my clothes, a little bit of fear and loathing heart attack
I got chased by the rat pack once in a flashback. Singing viva Las Vegas.

I settled down in san diego and smoked a joint with java joe
And with a grin he took me in spilling coffee on his chin
And I played my show there and I met my bros there
And with my throw pillow they kindly let me make my bed there
There′s one more thing before I go there′s never been any place like this home
For once in a lifetime maybe I′d be foolish not to stay

Jason Mraz - Hey Love

Hey love, where you going to?
You′re not sleeping anymore, you′re just trying to.
Stay love, where you running to?
Awful happens all the time, don′t let it kill you.

Easily with me I feel as fast as I can see...
Afraid of the horror stories I fall down on my knees.

Come away, come away.
From all these things unheard
If a chosen word has got you cornered
Then it′s a lesson learned
Like close the book before it burns you.
Come away, come away.
From all these things unseen
At the price you paid I promise you won′t believe anything they say
Belief will only disappoint you

In case you never noticed the path you never chose has chosen you.
Afraid to face and break it.
The secret.

Jason Mraz - The Beauty In Ugly

She′s so big-hearted
But not so remarkable
Just an ordinary humble girl
Expecting nothing as we′re made to think it′s a pretty person′s world

Well you are beautiful
And you better go show it
So go look again
You gotta be true to your own
If you really wanna go to the top
Do you really wanna win
Don′t believe in leaving normal
Just to satisfy demand

Well if you wanna get free
And if you want to do the passionate thing
And if you wanna get smart
For the sake of your heart and all
You should own your name
And stand up tall and get real
See the beauty in ugly

Well you are fresh
Your face is fabulous
Don′t forget you′re one of a kind
When nobody′s checking the deeds you′ve done
And nobody′s hearing your cries
You make all the fashion statements
Just by dressing up your mind

And if you wanna get free
And if you wanna do the passionate thing
And if you wanna get smart
For the sake of your heart and all
You should own your name
And stand up tall and get real
See the beauty in ugly
See the beauty in ugly

Well if you wanna get free
And if you wanna do the passionate thing
And if you wanna get smart
For the sake of your heart and all
You should own your name
And stand up tall and get real
See the beauty in ugly
See the beauty in ugly

Jason Mraz - Older Lover

Well an old saying goes mind your manners mind your mother
And a man can find a lover who is tan and undercover
Well she might lies about her age, but lady I got no complaints

She can be as crazy and as foolish as she wants to be
Because her old school ways are practically technicalities and perfectly sane
I′m saying I ain′t never seen a saint.

Well I met her at an old cop bar down in silverlake
Where we spoke about the give and we joked about the take
And when they asked for identification I knew hers probably was a fake

She′s just another older lover undercover.

You′re wearing that thin disguise. Don′t apologize.
And you′re birthday suit suits you.
Well it suits me too it′s one hell of a costume
I can′t find the zipper anywhere on your back
Perhaps it′s attached to the breach of your ass-crack

(Burr it′s cold in here. You keep it hot dear.)

With a sip of mexican coffee and some grapefruit juice
A glass of coke a glass of wine just to keep it loose
Oh the things that you say and do, wow.
And the way that you move to the music
Like the who and the velvet underground old sounds
You like indie rock, spock rock, anything you′ve found
In the backseat of your downtown brown and bruised beat up bmw

Any melodramatic role is just a garment of the soul
I respect your nakedness and the way that you unfold
And the way your wiser stories are always told

Jason Mraz - Only Human

A squirrel in the tree is he watching me
Does he give a damn?
Does he care who I am?
I′m just a man, is that all I am
Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human?
I′m human

Murderous crow, hey what you know
What you reading about, what you hold in your toes
Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace
A 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 do you think we′ll keep on being only human
Yes we are, 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
Thinking 1923
Thirty 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 do you think we′ll keep on being only human
Yes we are, only human, only human, so far, so far

And this place it will outlive me
Before I get to heaven I′ll 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′ll have to give myself a baby
I will let my children have their way

′Cause we′re only human, yes we are
Only human, so far, so far

Jason Mraz - On Love, In Sadness

Oh love it′s a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
It′s not falsified to say that I found god so inevitably well,
It still exists pale and fine. I can′t dismiss
And I won′t resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and in the rain endure.
The rust and the rain are sins
And I′m in like Flynn again

So go on place your order now cause some other time is right around the clock
You can stand in line. it finally begins just around the clock
You can have your pick if your stomach is sick whether you eat or not
And there is just one thing that I almost forgot

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and in the rain so easy
These are the comforts that be

You see well I′m feeling lucky oh well, maybe that′s just me
You should be proud of me oh hell if you could only see
That we′re gonna grow on up to be, ah yes
We are thick as thieves

Oh love it′s a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
It′s not falsified to say that I found god
Inevitably, well it still exists pale and fine I can′t dismiss
And I won′t resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind and the rust and the rain endure
(the rust and the rain endure. I′m sure.)

I am insofar to know the measure of love isn′t loss
Love will never ever be insofar to know the measure of love isn′t loss
Love will never ever be lost on me.
Love will never ever be lost on me.

Jason Mraz - Sleep All Day

His after moan though cries oh no
He′s building up a shine but he take it slow
And he knows it′s time to make a change here And time to get away
And he knows it′s time for all the wrong reasons, oh, time to end the pain
But he sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
Why don′t we?

She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord
Would he take it all back what they′ve done
No way he said take it, take it and don′t break it with your own two hands
That was my old man and he said
if all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it

oh what a lovely day to have a slice of humble pie
recalling of the while we used to drive and drive here and there
going nowhere but for us, nowhere but for the two of us
and we knew it was time to take a chance here
and time to compromise our lives just a little while
and it was time for all the wrong reasons
but time is often on my side and I give it to you tonight
and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again

as time goes by we get a little bit tired waking and baked another Marlboro mile wide
it′s sending the boys on the run in the time in hot summer sun
to swim beneath or over outside as they′re reading between the lines
then they remember the part in the hallmark card where they read about the dreams
and reaching for the stars to hold on a little bit closer to
and they knew it was time, time to take a chance here
time to compromise our little lives just a little while
and they knew it was time for all the wrong and, lonely, lonesome reasons, oh
as time is often on my side and I give it to you, oh boy
and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again

She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord
Would he take it all back what they′ve done
No way he said take it, take it and don′t break it with your own two hands
That was my old man and he said
if all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it

Jason Mraz - A Beautiful Mess

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
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I′ve been reading
Your 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 could call it fiction
But 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 I′m paraphrasing this relationship we′re staging

And what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It′s like 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]

We′re still here
What a beautiful mess, this is
It′s like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

Through, timeless words and priceless pictures We′ll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that′s no concern when we′re wounded together

And we, tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But its nice today. Oh the way it was so worth it.

Jason Mraz - Forecast

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
Crazy is the forecast

Jason Mraz - Tonight, Not Again

The night.
She brushed her hands upon my flushed cheek
Smelled of childhood remnants of a dusty weeping willow
Clouds soothe, Shredded by the calico
Were oh so vast and quick as I was on my own now.

This time like every other time I believe that I never find
Another sweet little girl with sequined sea foam eyes
Ocean lapping voice smile coy as the brightest quiet span of sky
And I′m all alone again tonight not again, not again, not again.

And don′t it feel allright. and don′t it feel so nice. Lovely.

Still I′m unable to inhale all the riches
As I′m awkward as a wound on my bones
Still I′ve got cobblestone joints and plate glass points
As I′m all by myself tonight not again not againE

And don′t it feel allright. and don′t it feel so nice. Lovely.

Well if you should nervously break down
When its time for the shakedown would you take it
It′s when you cry just a little but you laugh in the middle that you′ve made it
And don′t it feel allright. and don′t it feel so nice.
Lovely.

Say it again. Lovely. So lovely. to do it again
Again. Loving again. It′s coming again.
Lovely.

Jason Mraz - Common Pleasure

I remember when we used to walk together
Used to talk together, go to the park together
In all kinds of weather we would share
This common pleasure with most of human kinds
It was a kind of treasure One that I was surely glad to find
But I got one right here and I′m okay
I′m okay, and you′re okay, and we′re okay
I′m alright. Everything else is alright sometimes.

Just remember those bones they get broken
And love is not a token of affection
It′s not even a real thing, it′s a word
So don′t you try to but it out with a ring
Cause it′s a verb, to love someone
Open up and let them in
just don′t be afraid to set them free again

That I ain′t ever seen
I′m gonna keep on keeping on
I′m gonna reap on being strong
I got my head on, though misconnected
It′s alright cause I do it protected
I got a day job. I drive a cheap ride
Sounds like I′m gonna fine
You only get one life to learn
There′s only so many brain cells that you can burn
And life can take a turn and take away that you′ve earned
And leave you yearning for more, so much more
Life is gonna leave you yearning for more, more, more
Your stomach′s gonna be churning
Wanting more, you′re wanting, wanting some more.
You′re wanting some more, more, more
Do you want some?

Well I got some right here and I′m okay
I′m okay and you′re okay
Ha ha, we′re okay
Everything else will be fine sometimes.
Guess what I′m doing okay.

Jason Mraz - Back To The Earth

Whenever my head starts to hurt
Before it goes from bad to feeling worse
I turn off my phone
I get down low
And put my hands in the dirt

I try to stop the world from moving so fast
Try to get a grip on where I′m at
AND simplify
This dizzy life
And put my feet in the grass

I′m going back to the earth
I′m going back to the earth
I′m going back to work
I′m going back to the earth

The only explanation for a high rise
Must be that everybody wants to get high
And move on up
To a deluxe
Apartment in the sky

Well, the higher we go, the taller we grow
We lose sight of the land below
Well, you can have your place
Up in outer space
′Cause my home is where my food is grown

[2x]
I′m going back to the earth
I′m going back to the earth
I′m going back to work
I′m going back to the earth

(All right lets get the rest in over this bridge)

We are animals (we are animals)
We are wild (we are wild)
We started with the motion
At the bottom of the ocean
Now we′re swinging from the tops of the trees

We are animals (we are animals)
We are wild (we are wild)
And to truly be forgiven
We must all get back to living
With the land in harmony

[4x]
I′m going back to the earth
I′m going back to the earth
I′m going back to work
I′m going back to the earth
(Two more times around!)
