Jason Mraz - Jason Mraz Live [live] (2004) by Jason Mraz (보컬) on maniadb.com

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




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 alright

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 again




And don′t it feel alright

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 alright

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

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

Shes not so usual

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 most unusual

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

She′s not so
hooked on the drugs like I thought that 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′ my life
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 not so u...

She′s not so not so usual

Oh, Not so usual
and not too practual either,

I say
not so not so mystical
but not so magical neither,
because she say so

and not so out of control
and not so into the full

she′s not so usual

naw she′s a natural

oh she′s not so
usual

she wants to do us all

she′s not so you
oh she′s not so you
not so no

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

and i wonder, 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
no oh

well before i catch you complaining that it hardly rains at all
let me stop to lock my top
for fear of it falling off
my eyes were easily arms are scares of where
the war was waged on
words that we heard as a joke
how did it drown our, love
oh love
when it rains it′s sure to pour
but when i look in your eyes
i feel i won′t see surprise
that i′m not doubling back
and
i wonder, wonder wonder which one of us
is gonna state the obvious
and i wonder, 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 (x5)
doubling back now
no turning around now
no going back now

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 then I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I'm almost finally, finally, out of words.

You. You were a friend. You were a friend of mine I let you spend the night
You see how 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.

Who am I to say this situation isn't great? 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 that's great
But I don't break that easy. Does it fade away?
So that's why 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.

Who am I to say this situation isn't great? It's my time to make the most of it
How could I ever know that this would happen to me, not that easy, no
All along the fault is up for grabs why don't you have it
Well it's for sale go make 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.

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
All along the fault is up for grabs and there you have it
Well it's for sale go make your offer, I'll sell it for no less than what I bought it for
Pay no more than absolutely zero.

Said will I,
I remember when we used to walk together,
Used to talk together, Go to the park together,
In all of kinds of weather we would share,
This common pleasure, with most of human kinds,
It was a kind of treasure, one I was surely glad to find,
And I got some right here, And I`m okay, I`m okay
You`re okay, ha ha, we`re okay, ha ha ooha I am alright,
I answered alright, I`m doin` fine,but ohh bones again are broken,
The love is not a token of affection, It`s not even a real thing,
It`s a word, so don`t try to buy it out with a ring,
Cuz it`s a verb, to love someone, open up and let them in,
Just don`t, just don`t be afraid, don`t be afraid to set them again,
This ain`t no heaven, ain`t no hell, ain`t no in-between,
Cuz there`s just too many faces and places in this world,
That I ain`t never seen, I`m gonna keep on keeping on on,
I`m gonna reap on being strong, and I got my head on,
Though misconnected, its alright cuz I do it protected,
I got a day job, I drive a cheap ride, Sounds like I`m gonna be fine,
You only get one life to learn, There`s only so many brain cells you can burn,
An` life can take a turn, and take away everything that you`ve earned,
And leave you yearnin` for more more more,
Life is gonna leave you yearnin` for more more more,
Your stomach gonna be churnin` wantin` more,
You wantin` wantin` some more, you wantin` some more,
Do you want some?
Do you want some?
Then I got some,
Um (a bunch of times),
Well I got one right here,
And I`m okay, I`m okay,
And you`re okay, ha ha, we`re okay, ha ha ooha I am alright.
I answered alright, I`m doin` fine.

and i have no regrets

because it all amounts to nothing up in the end

well you can only count on the road again
well 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
im one man pushin on the california skyline drive
up the coast mc brag the most
i m pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost
raising a toast to the highway patrol and to most
but my cruise control's on coast
cause im touring around the nation

with my guitar here

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

i'm just a curbside prophet
curbside prophet now

curbside
come on, now
curbside prohet
waiting for my rocket to come...

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.

And as I lay me down tonight,
I close my eyes, what a beautiful sight

Sleeping to dream about you
And I′m so damn tired of having to live without you
But I don′t mind.
Sleeping to dream about you and I′m so tired


I found myself in the riches (Your eyes, your lips, your hair.) And you were everywhere, out there

I woke up in the ditches. I hit the light and I thought you might be here
but you were nowhere. Well, you were nowhere at home.


As I lay me back to sleep
This love, I pray that I can keep

Sleeping to dream about you
And I′m so tired of having to live without you
Well, I don′t mind
Sleeping to dream about you and I′m so tired

I′m so tired.

(Just a little a lullaby to keep myself from crying myself to sleep at night.)


Sleeping to dream about you
I′m so damn tired of having to live without you
Well, I don′t mind
Sleeping to dream about you and I′m so tired

Hands in line

Arms close to my side

I′m fighting tides of an ocean′s undertow

And I figure that I just might make it

And I′m taking empty

But seldom sleeping

And the words retreat breathing histories into something unknown and stories untold

And my arms unfold.



My hands are high

And I′m holding out, I′m holding up

And I figure that I, I figure that I just might make it

And I′m waking empty but seldom sleeping

And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold

And I unfold.



Quality is what you see now in the corner of your eye.

So, don′t be surprised if you hear the bells ring

They form from the sky and they sound bong, bong, bong

...


She loves me...

My sweet thing is calling for me.
...



And I′m holding up because I figure that I just make it.

And I′m waking empty but seldom sleeping

And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold

And I unfold

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
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 it so personally 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
So 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.

Well 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
Well something on the surface it stings
I said, something on the surface
Well it kinda makes me nervous
Who said that you deserve this and
What kinda God would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease
Well if you gots the poison
I gots the remedy

The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liason
I said the comedy is that it's serious
This 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 nothin' in the end

I won't worry my life away
I won't worry my life away

I heard two men talkin' on the radio
In a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
Well they were countin' down the ways to stab their brother in the
Be right back after this, the unavoidable kiss
Where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast this
Catasrophy, dance with me
'Cause if you gots the poison
I gots the remedy

The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liason
I said the comedy is that it's serious
This 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 nothin' in the end

I won't worry my life away
I won't worry my life away

When I fall in love I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm makin' 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
This is a dangerous liason
I said the comedy is that it's serious
This 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 nothin' in the end

I won't worry my life away
I won't worry my life away
I won't...I won't...etc...etc...etc...etc...etc

I bare my windowed self untamed and untrained

Dreams that hardly touch our complexions truest faults

If room enough for both my drowsy spirit shall fall

Bold waves tumble oh to the season of my heart

Where you have offended my faith and my trust

Until all is lost into the beauty of the day

Until all is lost in it...


But there′s something in the way you laugh

And it makes me feel like a child

Aspects of life they confuse me

You and your thesis amuse me



After and afternoon with you

And your rich brown eyes

Your lips and your dark hair

Elbows and exposed knees tossing towards your ceiling

After an afternoon


Okay, love love me...


Face to palm

Tear to tear

Mouth to tongue

Heart to ground

Heart to ground

I am in love...

you can say that i'm one curly fry
in the box of the regular
messing with the flavor
or 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 is all
people say i'm crazy for not moving onto better things
'stead of sitting round trash talking
with the onion rings
it's much too soon to leave this easy life
pass me the spoon
pass the analytical knife

cause you're about to get cut up
ya get cut down
it's all about the wordplay
all about the sound
and my tone in my voice
ya gotta let me make my choice alone
before my food gets cold
shut up
i get shot down
it's all about the know-how
all just a matter of taste
stop telling me the way that i gotta play
too much food on my plate

well believe it or not
i super-size my sights
on the surprise in a cereal box
my stomach's smaller than my eyes
so i went to see the doctor
and he said turn my head and then cough
i didn't listen to what he said
instead i couldn't wait to get off
he said i could have this
but i can't have that
i should keep wishing i was living the life of a cat
but i ain't the one who's gonna be missing the feast
just like you ain't the one
who seems to be calming the beast

cause you're about to get cut up
ya get cut down
all about the wordplay
all about the sound
and my tone in my voice
you gotta let me make my choice alone
before my food gets cold
shut up
i get shot down
all about the know-how
all just a matter of taste
stop telling me the way that i gotta play
you put too much food on my p
