the first thing that i notice is the sunshine on her face which leads me to her freckles looking like they're playing chase her strong jawline, her lips to her eyes which leads me to her midnight hair blowing through the sky oh my, oh my, i feel sorry for the light cause if her face is in the picture, nothing else catches my sight oh my, oh my i could spend the whole day smiling at this silly photograph and the lengths she'll leap to for a little laugh the frames can't tame her spirit's range, which explains why i feel that her beauty can be captured but not caught dead standing still oh my, oh my, this love is black and white we know what to expect cause we've got the right effect oh my, oh my pressing flowers inside books, making melodies and hooks reading pointless stories in bed frisbee, jeopardy, laughing so damn hard you pee these are the photographs flipping through my head oh my, oh my, strolling the lane made up of time P-I-C-T-U-R-Easily the best memory oh my

*2nd/3rd verses co-written with Veronica May (1st verse and choruses cover Gospel song of the same name - Lindsay's grandparents Ollie & Bethel can be heard in recording)
a land removed from sickness pain and sorrow no death, no theft, no aching, no more greed no sad goodbyes but only glad reunions oh this is just what heaven means to me what will it be, when we get over yonder and join the throng upon the glassy sea to greet our loved ones and sing with them forever oh this is just what heaven means to me a people that have minds of understanding and eyes that follow suit in what they see they follow all the passages on love oh this is just what heaven means to me a swaying eucalyptus on the hillside where lovebirds sit and sing their melody surrounded by the people who we love most oh this is just what heaven means to me we run holding hands to two open swings
i pump my legs slowly, hold tight to the chain links blocking the light, i look up in the air scream honey, are you sure you're alright up there? you say i'm having a blast, get up here right now i yell back i'm tired, and i don't know how for days straight, i wait, trying to gauge where you'll be when the clouds cave in so you can land on me there's a ring around the roses on our own playground there's nothing but earth and sky for miles around and i say, oh how fun, let's reminisce you say, i've never seen a place like this and i say, it's common as apple pie you say, i know you are, but what am i next we head over to tetherball poles i wait on both sides, while you play both roles there's no way to lose, there's no way to win so i sit wondering when i'll get to sub in you hit it so hard, i wince and i brace cause i'm scared the ball's bound to smack me in the face it'll fly off the handle if you play too rough leave you bored with just me, cause i'm not enough when we finally take a break in the day we take turns making a pb and j i spread mine thin, cause i hate a mess and you pour it on thick, cause you love the excess *verses co-written with Veronica May (chorus/bridge partial cover of Snoop Dogg/Pharell song of the same name)
starting out it was the shot heard round the world a committed lady going after a noncommittal girl but then time, time finally took its toll life was the objective and love was the goal and then i said... you're beautiful, i just want you to know, you're my favorite girl finally settled down and things got better consider this song a little love letter it's like a whole new life now that you're in it baby be my wife, and let's begin it i just wanted you to know that you are really special *co-written with Veronica May you took the pain, added a t painted right over the hurt inside me believe what i say, when i say it's true filled a big gaping hole with a big w o, g, i, c something in u u and i r right on q nobody ever writes love letters these days they spend all their time driving on online freeways there's gotta be somebody somewhere that you know who could use a few handwritten x's and o's you took the hate, switched out the h with an f and I guess it turned into fate you wanted her badly, you set out to get her took away the space so we'd be together
*co-written with Veronica May (also recorded as Pretty Little Owl with The Lovebirds)
pretty little owl, won't you be my gal fly up in my tree, won't you sit with me we'll stay up all night under the moonlight rest under my wing, listen to me sing what will we see, where will we be who knows, who knows why should i care, when you're sitting there i'm happy the who is you, happy the who is you wiggle down your branch, can i have this dance look in your big eyes, gosh you look so nice spin my head around, make my owl heart pound make my owl legs weak, kiss me on my owl beak

wakes up in the morning, waxes his mustache he's an evil-doer, revenge is his at last dastardly deceiving, wears a mask and cape memorized her shadow, so she can not escape victim and the villain, they will play their part one will take your pity, one will take your heart goes to bed each evening, hangs her head in shame she's a real do-gooder, especially good at blame properly pathetic, wears a veil of doubt memorized his methods, so he has no way out he tiptoes under her nose gets close enough to attack she lets him in, again and again she loves the knife in her back what you may not notice, what you may not see the victim and the villain, are both a part of me (it's me) |
