the andy grammer obsession part 1

 I just had to document these. Andy Grammer's songs from his second EP, Soft Lights on Bright Colors. I downloaded the songs from Grooveshark using Wondershare and then uploaded them in Tindeck. Wheew!! Anything for Andy! Hahaha! Too bad I can't find the lyrics of the other songs. Anyway, give them a listen for me.

Track 01

Saints We Create

Lyrics

I wrote a story I can sleep with

Sometimes at night I like to read it

Half of the time I might believe it

But its really all for me

Im putting confidence in hearsay

Im givin' circumstances its trophies

Im writin' a script where she is always

The perfect one for me

The perfect one for me, oh

(Chorus)

And oh, the saints we create when we are feeling all alone

Cause you need something

And oh, the lovers who fake the tale are made to keep us warm

Cause we need something

mmmm

Im getting caught up in the moment oh

Im using her beauty as an omen

She is the one my soul's been calling

And its really all for me

Its really all for me

(Chorus)

It goes we keep pushing,on our hearts, keep pushing,on our hearts

Tryin' to feel like we're in love

Keep pushing,on our hearts, keep pushing on our hearts

It goes we keep pushing,on our hearts,

Keep pushing, on our hearts

Tryin' to feel like were in love

Keep pushin on our hearts, keep pushing on our hearts

And I know

There is more to this

Than eyes closed and a slow romantic kiss

And we've shown, that we are bound to drift

We are searching for an anchor,

Cause the most of us are anchor-less

(Chorus)

Track 02

Fireflies

Lyrics

Driving through streetlights watching the nightlife behind the glass I'm 

driving home I chase the fireflies cackle and realize they are the birds 

when flash is gone ladies are glowing, guys are holding jars, the summer 

breeze blowing for the chasing stars 

and its all that we know 

all that we know 

it's all that we know 

but she's needing more than love outta life ay yay and all these brothers 

come at night oh no nooo

but tired and worn she know what will catch their eyes

oh

she is a gorgeous firefly... as she flies by

Waiting for loved ones to slide to the forefront fella start pondering their 

lives we wanna knock out don't wanna block out where we know we need 

to survive ladies are glowing, guys are holding jars, the summer breeze 

blowing, for the chasing stars 

chorus

and we've all wished the other would see past the cover and the leading 

and man and the leading lady need to take a stand and then maybe

Interlude

Track 04

Casual

Lyrics

Let's keep it casual, he says

She could not agree more as she nods her head

Let's water down this drink of ours

We'd rather lowers stakes than raise the bar

It's not looking too good 

I'm not feeling the way that I should

Try to separate the ocean from the shore

It's not looking too good

I've been wondering maybe we could

Figure out just what we're marching towards

'Cause we are, we are forcing 

Our bodies not to breathe

And we are, we are more than

Straight to DVD

And we are, we are born in 

To higher lives than these

And still we live

So casually

Let's keep it casual, she says

He could not agree more

As he gets from the bed

Let's hold back most of who we are

Can touch the body but the soul stays so far

It's not looking too good

I'm not feeling the way that I should

Try to separate the ocean from the shore

It's not looking too good

I've been wondering maybe we could

Figure out just what we're marching towards

'Cause we are, we are forcing

Our bodies not to breathe

And we are, we are

More than straight to DVD

And we are, we are born in

To higher lives than these

Still we live

So casually

Oh no no no

We are fragile

This is more than just for fun

We are noble 

Underneath all we have done

We are brilliant

If you reach beyond our skin

We are brilliant

When we finally let you in

'Cause we are, we are forcing

Our bodies not to breathe

And we are, we are more than

Straight to DVD

And we are, we are born in

To higher lives than these

Still we live

So casually

Numbers

Lyrics
At the bass y'all

At the trumpet y'all

Well I'm five on a good day six

I got plenty of things need to fix

A bigger chest and dimples in my face

With those I could be pushin' seven to eight

Guitar in my hand add a point to my score

No car slide me down to a four

Six feet with a pair of blue eyes

Brings me back up to a five

Greater than less than equal to

You're making this way too mathematical

The value of personality seems to be dead

All walkin' around with numbered halo's on our heads well

Threes want fours and fours want fives

Eights think nines have much better lives

And it's a reasonable question to ask

I guess it's all how ya doing the math

And I can sit and I can lie to you

And say this somethin' that I don't do

But I'm another number crunchin' fool

Whose calculator's way overused

Greater than less than equal to

You're making this way too mathematical

The value of personality seems to be dead

All walkin' around with numbered halo's on our heads and I'm thinking

Just one time

I wish I could have a nine

She'd be hot and she'd be mine just one time

But for every nine there's a two starting back at you

wishing you would do what you wanted the nine to eh

90% of the mental judicial system is based solely on superficial intuition

To me that seems a bit strange

Only talk to people who we think we might be kissin'

That's a lot of ideas to be dismissing

We leave it to humans to choose the criteria we can't change

It doesn't make sense no doesn't make sense doesn't make sense

For the numbers to be where we are concentrating

In my minor sense i condense in my minor sense

Asymmetrical interactions

Simply evaporating

I'm a five on a good day six

Got plenty of things need to fix

I need a formula or some sort of plan to focus on the soda not the can

Track 07

Couple More Sleeves

Lyrics

I've got a couple more years on you babe, and that's all

I've had more chances to fly, and more places to fall

And it ain't that I'm wiser, it's only that I've spent

More time with my back to the wall

And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe, that's all

I've walked a couple more roads than you babe, that's all

And I'm tired of runnin' while you're only learnin' to crawl

And you're headin' somewhere, but I've been to somewhere

And found it was nowhere at all

And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe, that's all

Now sayin' goodbye, girl, don't never come easy at all

But you've gotta fly 'cause you're hearin' them young eagles call

And someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall

And you'll say, "I've got a couple more years on you babe, that's all"

You'll say,"I've got a couple more years on you babe, that's all

I've had more chances to fly, and more places to fall

And it ain't that I'm wiser, it's only that I've spent

More time with my back to the wall

And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe, and that's all"

Track 08

Stepping Stone

Lyrics
I can't say that love is gone
Something still feels wrong
I find myself so far from you, oh
Foot in, one foot out
I chase my tail about
You analyse my every move, oh

See you don't need me now
I'll just slow you down
You can stand all on your own, oh
The love we shared was real
The secrets we revealed
I hope I was a stepping stone, oh

Because you are more yourself than when you met me
And I can say the same
I'm more myself than when I met you

And oh, I just want you to know
This is not a waste of time
There's so much more below
The surface we all search to find
The one's that help us grow
And you have done that much for me
And I hope I've been a stepping stone
Looking back on what was done
Sure, I hurt you some
Sure, you threw a few low blows, oh
But when the bruises heal
I'll take down my shield
And thank God above I know you

Because you are more yourself than when I met you
And I can say the same
I'm more myself than when I met you

And oh, I just want you to know
This is not a waste of time
There's so much more below
The surface we all search to find
The one's that help us grow
And you have done that much for me

So please I ask you don't
Toss the work we've done aside
Because we're letting go
This is just a piece of life
Focus on the whole
We have come so far

Well I hope you use my back to step across the pond
And I hope by pushing off me, you will land upon
The guy who's surely out there to whom you belong
Find him now

And oh, I just want you to know
This is not a waste of time
There's so much more below
The surface we all search to find
The one's that help us grow
And you have done that much for me

So please I ask you don't
Toss the work we've done aside
Because we're letting go
This is just a piece of life
Focus on the whole
We have come so far

Sing it out,
I needed, I needed
To meet you

Check out also the first part of this obsession, HERE! :) Hafta Goo! Hope everyone's having a fine Saturday morning. ♥
