Oh I've been thinking
wondering if the key is
observation, imitation
no regard for limitations
they can't keep up with
they can't keep up with
they can't keep up with
me but lately I've been
lately I've been feeling
broken like the ceiling
you've gotta give me something
something to believe in
Gotta give me something
Just give me something
Cuz we're all kids
and we ain't seen nothing
but the right way might say
things you do not want to hear
the truth can hurt
so hold me closer, my dear
like light in a prism
built by foolish wisdom
we mighta seen it coming
but we ain't seen nothing
oh

(Chorus)
But the cycle
The cycle keeps on turning
and our heart of gold
will come and burn our learning
and impossible
is only in our minds
we're unstoppable
oh oh oh whoa oh oh(x2)

Life is what you make it
the world is yours so take it
and shake it
oh the beat is something new to me
is it hip-hopportunity
or the music in my heart?
Oh but the sound's so sweet
I just want the rhythm to start

(Chorus)
But the cycle
The cycle keeps on turning
and our heart of gold
will come and burn our learning
and impossible
is only in our minds
we're unstoppable
oh oh oh whoa oh oh(x2)

I'll be waiting up
Just you wait and see
No longer holding this thing
trapped beneath my
two front teeth

No more waiting for someone
Cuz I have all I need
Is it a false sense of infinity
Or do I hold the world inside of me?

Two, three, four, five

(Chorus)
But you can't brand my bible
You can't build my church
My mind is my temple
Just for what it's worth
No need to ignite it
Flame's already burning
Inside of me
Inside of me
Oh oh

But the demons looked familiar
and tried to take me home
And I just can't help but wonder
where I've seen them before
They take me to a place
where I don't need them anymore

And they were gone with the wind
I was gone like the breeze
With the sweet old sound of silence
that brought me to my knees
You'll miss them when they're gone
So stay, baby, please
I'm mortified

(Chorus)
But you can't brand my bible
You can't build my church
My mind is my temple
Just for what it's worth
No need to ignite it
Flame's already burning
Inside of me
Inside of me
Oh oh

(Chorus)

(Last Chorus)
Oh but you can't brand my bible
You can't build my church
My mind is my temple
Just for what it's worth
Oh but Stop!
Never mind me
You can't see the person inside of me

But I'll be waiting up

The sparkles in the stars
Are no more beautiful than ours
And its beauty has whisked me away
I haven't seen you in so long
It's given me another song to sing

And the music equates me
The music frustrates me
And it hasn't been the same
since you've gone

And the music comes
And the music goes
But never really stays for long
so I wrap its arms around me
And imagine nothing's wrong

(Chorus)
But the mountains are as big as you make them
And the sea is just as wide as it seems
And when troubled thoughts surround you
Let your spirit break you free
and while you're sailing down that river
I hope that you'll remember me

Now I'm driving just a little too fast
And way, way too soon
Down this highway
to a place called home
Pretending that I'm better off
but really I am all alone
Playing someone else's song
I thought I'd written all along

(Chorus)
But the mountains are as big as you make them
And the sea is just as wide as it seems
And when troubled thoughts surround you
Let your spirit break you free
and while you're sailing down that river
I hope that you'll remember me

And the sea is all I see
and the sea is all I want to be
You know I love you sweetie
But you make it way too easy

(Chorus)
But the mountains are as big as you make them
And the sea is just as wide as it seems
And when troubled thoughts surround you
Let your spirit break you free
and while you're sailing down that river
I hope that you'll remember

That the mountains are as big as you make them
And the sea is just as wide as it seems
And when troubled thoughts surround you
Let your spirit break you free
and while you're sailing down that river
I hope that you'll remember me

I hung onto every single word
that you spoke
I gathered up the pieces
of the trust that you broke
I glued them all together in this song
and I hope you'll listen

And I hope that these three chords
are good enough for you
You'd probably say you'd be quite alright
with just two
But you have to understand
I'm not exactly sure what to do

So I'll play this sad song upon my guitar
I'll sing to the honeybees and wish on a star
That someday they won't have to fly quite as far
to glisten

And I'll set things back
to the way they used to be
I'll send you back
to your castle by the sea
In hopes that someday
there'll be room in there
for me

And I searched for some comfort
in the arms of a friend
They say that the means
will justify the end
But they never said
exactly what that end
would be

And we all make mistakes
every once in a while
You say that you're happy
When you see me smile
But that's no reason
For me to act like a child

So I waited for your voice
on the telephone
But you keep telling me
that you're almost grown
and these are the things
that I should have known
you see

So I hung onto every single word
that you spoke
I gathered up the pieces of the trust
that you broke
I glued them all together in this song
and I hoped you'd listen

And I played this sad song upon my guitar
I sang to the honeybees and wished on a star
That someday they wouldn't have to fly quite as far
To glisten

You're my monrning glory
Every star in my sky
So many reasons gotta tell you I
may have left but I'll never be gone
Cuz I'll be right here in this song
And forget you how could I?
I couldn't even if I tried
Cuz morning glory
you've been here all along
And you'll be right here in this song

You're cool and you're sweet
But I have to say one thing
Oh, you have to go
and I know it's hard
But you gotta let everybody go
and be free sometimes
Oh I know because I got set free
one time also
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah I did
Oh I did oh I did Oh I did

Oh I sing it for the
kids who wish they didn't
wake up every monring
Oh they don't know that
the sun is shining on em
All they care about
Is happy every after
but they lost it so so so so so so
long ago
but in a far away place
lies a treasure hidden
just in case
and if you find it
maybe then you'll sing along
cuz you already know the song

And sugarpie, you're my oh my

Monrning glory
Every star in my sky
So many reasons gotta tell you I
may have left but I'll never be gone
Cuz I'll be right here in this song
And forget you how could I?
I couldn't even if I tried
Cuz morning glory
you've been here all along
And you'll be right here in this

Don't care much about the west coast
Cuz it's three time zones away
A cold a frigid still society
But it's been frying me these days
Got me dreamin bout tomorrow
and forgetting bout today
but oh, morning glory
If home is where the heart is,
with you is where I'll stay
with you is where I'll stay
with you is where I'll stay
with you is where I'll stay
with you is where I'll stay
with you is where I'll stay
with you is where I'll
I'll stay

I drove you to the airport
to meet your ex-girlfriend
and I probably should just keep
this in my head
cuz I know you've got a girl or two
so I won't say I have a thing for you
but you're on a plane to Minnesota
When you should be here instead

And it's only been an hour or two
So I'm not saying I miss you
But oh I want you here instead

But instead
it's only 10am
I'm not high enough to deal with this yet
While you're on that plane to Minnesota
Sota - Ota!

So take my heart and my retro shades
I don't need them anyways
Oh oh they're on a plane to Minnesota
Sota - Ota!

So if you'd care to be with me
I'd sing to you from the balcony
Let's turn my creativity
into something more than make believe
Cuz my guitar and my skinny jeans
were wondering if you'd let me be
that something
Oh oh oh

And please don't say that I'm too late
It hit me when you passed that gate
oh oh and please don't let this be for nothing

Cuz it's only been a day or two
Still I'm waiting in Kalamazoo
for you to get off that plane from Minnesota
Oh oh!

We see the sun and the moon
and we all assume
that they're the real ones
That might be true
but ain't nothing new
about the real ones
But I - I - I wanna
oh oh she said
I don't know what I want
And I only know what I don't
But I - I - I
I want a real one

So I asked them about love
About la-la-la-la-love
About la-la-love
They said
'There ain't nothin new about it
Nothing we can do about it
And there ain't no truth about it
Smile and make it through without it'

Oh no no no no no
That's not my la-la-la-la-love
That's not my
Not my love

It comes in like a funny thief
It ties up our hands and screams
'Throw up your hands and scream
Throw up your hands and scream'
'Love love take me love
Love love take me love
Love love take me love
Love love oh take me love'

Take me love

Oh and don't let religion
carry us away
I'm already deemed unholy
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for salvation

Don't let religion carry us away
I'm already deemed unholy
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
I'm already deemed unholy

Love love take me love
Love love take me love
Love love take me love
Love love oh take me love

Oh and she was right all along

Oh don't let religion
carry us away
I'm already deemed unholy
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
I'm already
I'm all ready
