Special People

Everyday that you meet someone new
You act like they mean nothing to you
But that's not true.

You see new faces, you see new lives
Somehow they'll change you a lil bit inside
Sometimes.

~chorus:
And it's not the ones who come
And it's not the ones who go
It's the ones you remember
The ones that teach you something
And make you wanna write a song
The ones that hold you together.
That make you laugh til you wanna cry
That let you cry til it's all alright
They're special people, you know
And I'm so lucky to have met y'all.

And you tend to cross my mind
Every cold and lonely night
Guess I talk about you all the time.

Now I'm gonna need a new subject
To end this infinite nightmare
But I wouldn't take any of it back.

~chorus:
And it's not the ones who come
And it's not the ones who go
It's the ones you remember
The ones that teach you something
And make you wanna write a song
The ones that hold you together.
That make you laugh til you wanna cry
That let you cry til it's all alright
They're special people, you know
And I'm so lucky to have y'all.

~bridge:
And I'll miss the one who gets what I do
And the one who held me though she didn't really have to
I'mma miss the piano days
And the jokes that made no sense
I'mma miss the dancing and the singing
I'mma miss the hugging and the dreaming
Some I'll miss for the way they talked
Some for the way they didn't
Some for drawing on the air like their fingers were chalk
Some I'll miss just every minute.

~chorus:
And it's not the ones who come
And it's not the ones who go
It's the ones you remember
The ones that teach you something
And make you wanna write a song
The ones that hold you together.
That make you laugh til you wanna cry
That let you cry til it's all alright
They're special people, you know
And I'm really gonna miss y'all.

Elogie

Não colecione elogios
Aproveite-os.
Não viva como se eles fossem uma parte de você
Deixe que sejam sempre uma agradável surpresa
Diga "obrigado".
Elogie também
Tente elogiar pelo menos uma pessoa todos os dias
Não colecione os sorrisos
Aproveite-os.
Diga "não há de quê".
Sorria.
Não se menospreze a ponto de recusar elogios
Não se exalte a ponto de ignorá-los
Se alguém se deu ao trabalho de elogiar seu trabalho
Ou suas roupas
Ou tudo o que você é
Agradeça. Não é complicado.
É uma troca de gentilezas inocente
Com o poder transformar completamente o dia de alguém.
Para melhor?
Isso depende de você.

This Ain't Right

Passei meses pensando se ia postar essa ou não.

I watched you from a distance
I watched you grow a beard, I watched every minute
And all those people holding you in the pictures
I wasn't right next to them
I was fifteen miles away.

~chorus:
There are tears all over this page
I'm sorry about them
I'm sorry I can't be strong enough
To fully understand.
But I'm trying
I'm doing what I can
But this ain't right, this ain't right...

I see the cigarette smoke
I watch the fog pass
And all those city lights
I hope they'll last
Long enough for us
To see them for real
It's not cheap happiness
And we can't pay the bills.

~chorus:
There are tears all over this page
I'm sorry about them
I'm sorry I can't be strong enough
To fully understand.
But I'm trying
I'm doing what I can
But this ain't right, this ain't right...

~bridge:
Forgive me, world
For I won't grow
I don't wanna leave
My safety zone
I don't wanna be told
What I have to do
I don't wanna shut up
But I can't lose you.

~outro:
Light a match
Light a candle
Don't make a sound.
What is the way out of this little hell?

I Do

I've been talking to you for about half an hour
We've gone through Europe, books and dream power
You mention the clock and we're back in reality
We say goodbye with a couple of formalities.

I looked at you and we connected
God, ain't many things that really affect me
Guess sometimes you find something worthwhile
And it sets you free like an ended war pow.

~chorus:
But hey, I could talk to you all day
Steal your food and hope it rains
'Cause it wouldn't even matter
I wanna hear what you've got to say
About the future and aliens
Make my day better
Yeah, not the worst way of spending my afternoon
But that don't mean I like you.

I don't wanna sit on the cool kids' table anymore
I found out I'm the only one keeping score
Maybe it's because I hardly let anyone see inside
But I can't get you out of my mind.

Life's a rollercoaster sometimes
But mostly it's more of a carroussel ride
Feeling mindly stuck in a one-horse town
It makes you enjoy the ups and downs.

~chorus:
But hey, I could talk to you all day
Steal your food and hope it rains
'Cause it wouldn't even matter
I wanna hear what you've got to say
About the future and aliens
Make my day better
Yeah, not the worst way of spending my afternoon
But that don't mean I like you.

~bridge:
It's so easier to destroy than to create
So easier to surround yourself with hate
When your head is so programmed for vocational training
That you can barely see the bigger painting.

~chorus:
But hey, I could talk to you all day
Steal your food and hope it rains
'Cause it wouldn't even matter
I wanna hear what you've got to say
About the future and aliens
Make my day better
Yeah, not the worst way of spending my afternoon
That don't mean I necessarily like you
But I do.
