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 you were a red light that stopped me right in my tracks
when i was flying through the crossroads no yellow in between, quick change from red to green you made me move, you made me go you taught me to switch gears and now the road is clear, we let go of the brakes i'll drive with you my dear, and we'll collect souvenirs love is all it takes i picture you and me, two little girls at sea digging our heels in shifting sands baby don't cry those tears, there's enough salt out here we hold our breath, we're holding hands i'm learning how to tell when the next wave will swell anticipate the breaks i'm willing to dive through, long as i can pop up with you love is all it takes i ain't going anywhere, you can quote me girl, i said it if something tries to break us, just trust that i won't let it i don't need a judge to tell me that i'm wedded to you you never have to worry, you never gotta sweat it i told if you picked me you never would regret it i loved you when i met you, i'll love you til the credits roll through love, love, love is all it takes 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

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) can’t ascertain your explanation that we are just friends and nothing more i feel the same relief and frustration that one feels when slamming a door you make me happy and sad at the same time you make me feel good and bad at the same time you remind me of a deep blue sea so beautiful and scary you attract me like a battery pushing and pulling polarity *co-written with Veronica May you got really sick of the pogo stick life kept stalling, stalling you scraped up your knees on some memories now you’re scared of falling, falling there’s no need to lament it’s only cement falling just leaves you a little stunned, stunned if you get up quick life on a pogo stick you’ll see, clearly is meant for fun, fun up and down you bounce laughing hard out loud (ha ha ha ha) in the fall you spring new feelings feel the rush brush through your hair it’s quite the sight when you take flight when you discover you’ll land on a piece of rubber |
