the andy grammer obsession part 3

Did you actually think that I'm done with this whole Andy Grammer thing? Nah-uuhhh!! I'm not stopping until I have documented every single song he has, or at least the ones I can find. Here's goes my OCD again. Hahaha!

For today, I'll be sharing the songs from his newest extended play - Crazy Beautiful. Just two songs, actually. This is going to be quick, I promise.

Track 01

Crazy Beautiful


Lyrics
She's got big brown eyes and tangled hair
Voguing in her underwear
And nothing is better
Than doing nothing together

Now she got a toothbrush as a microphone
Belting out the Rolling Stones
And I'm the last one to stop her
Can't believe that I got her

[Pre-Chorus]
We get so close
Kissing like eskimos
It's a little bit much, I know
I do

[Chorus]
Isn't she cra-crazy beautiful?
Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful?
I think I love her more than I even understand

[Verse 2]
She got a classic style that's all her own
A smile you can hear through the telephone
And she says she's a rebel
But she's way too sentimental

And she's precious even when she's mad
Gets angry and I start to laugh
And I know that it's nothing
She's just pushing my buttons

[Pre-Chorus]
We get so close
Kissing like eskimos
It's a little bit much, I know
I do

[Chorus]
Isn't she cra-crazy beautiful?
Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful?
I think I love her more than I even understand

Isn't she cra-crazy beautiful?
Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful?
I think I love her more than I even understand

[Bridge]
She's a little bit wild, a little bit mad, a little bit uh-oh beautiful
Wild, a little bit bad, a little bit uh-oh
And I never can know her too well
Oh still I never want anyone else

[Chorus]
Isn't she cra-crazy beautiful?
Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful?
I think I love her more than I even understand

Isn't she cra-crazy beautiful?
Isn't she strange, strange and wonderful?
I think I love her more than I even understand

[Ending]
She's a little bit wild, a little bit mad, a little bit uh-oh beautiful
Wild, a little bit bad, a little bit uh-oh
And I think I love her more than I even understand

Track 02
I Choose You

Lyrics
When we're born into this world
We don't really get to say
Little boys and little girls handed the brand new families
There comes a time in life
When we finally get to choose
And I choose you, I choose you

We can't give our two cents
Of how tall we want to be
We don't get an opinion
On our ethnicity
But the one we spend our life with
That we get to choose
And I choose, I choose you

I choose you, to be by my side
I choose you, to hold me at night
It's the biggest decision I'm about to get right
I choose you, I choose you

Everybody has one,
A choice they get to make
Half human half heaven
That decides the family tree
Now we all pick the branches
That then becomes the roots
I choose you, I choose you

I choose you, to be by my side
I choose you, to hold me at night
It's the biggest decision I'm about to get right
I choose you, I choose you

I was worried I would not know what to do
If I was in these shoes
Standing here it's clearer than the sky is blue
That I choose you, I choose you
With so little we control, thank God it's in the rules
We get to choose, and I choose you

I choose you, to be by my side
I choose you, to hold me at night
It's the biggest decision I'm about to get right
I choose you, I choose you

And heeey, have I told you I'm sick? Gaaah! Sick for the nth time this year. #fml

the andy grammer obsession part 2

 Just so you know, I hate unfinished businesses. So here I am again for the third installment of the Andy Grammer obsession series. I'm too lazy to research thought so we'll go mainstream today. I'll be posting songs from his first studio album,  Andy Grammer,  released on June 14, 2011. The first single was "Keep Your Head Up", the same song that made me research about him, the same song that I listened to over and over again few months back.

Track 01
Keep Your Head Up

Lyrics

I've been waiting on the sunset

Bills on my mindset

I can't deny That they're gettin high

Higher than my income

my income's breadcrumbs

I've been trying to survive

The glow that the sun gives

Right around sunset

Helps me realize

This is just a journey

Drop your worries

You are gonna turn out fine.

Oh, you'll turn out fine.

Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know its hard,

To remember sometimes,

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I've got my hands in my pockets,

Kickin these rocks.

Its kinda hard to watch this life go by.

I'm buyin into skeptics,

Skeptics mess with, the confidence in my eyes

I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled

I start to compromise

My life and the purpose.

Is it all worth it,

Am I gonna turn out fine?

Oh, you'll turn out fine.

Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know its hard,

To remember sometimes,

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

Only rainbows after rain

The sun will always come again.

And its a circle, circling,

Around again, it comes around again.

Only rainbows after rain

The sun will always come again.

And its a circle, circling,

Around again, it comes around,

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know its hard

To remember sometimes,

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

Keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

Keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

Keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down.

Track 02
Fine By Me

Lyrics

You're not the type

Type of girl to remain

With the guy, with the guy too shy

Too afraid to say, he'll give his heart to you forever

I'm not the boy that will fall to his knees

With his hands clasped tight

Begging, begging you please

To stay with him for worse and for better

But I'm staring at you now

There's no one else around

I'm thinking you're the girl for me

I'm just saying it's fine by me

If you never leave

And we can live like this forever

It's fine by me

In the past I would try

Try hard to commit to a girl

Wouldn't get too far

And it always somehow seemed to fall apart

But with you, with you, with you

I can see what I need

I can dream realistically

I knew that this was different from the start

And it seems that every time

We're eye to eye

I can find another piece of you

That I don't wanna lose

And I'm staring at you now

There's no one else around

I'm thinking you're the girl I need

I'm just saying it's fine by me

If you never leave

And we can live like this forever

It's fine by me

I'm just saying it's fine by me

If you never leave

And we can live like this forever

It's fine by me

And it's never easy

Darling, believe me

I'm as skeptical as you

When I think of life without 'us'

Seems like "what we supposed to do?"

But I don't wanna come on too strong

I'm just saying it's fine by me

If you never leave

We can live like this forever

It's fine by me

It's fine by me if you never leave

And we can live like this forever

It's fine by me

I'm just saying it's fine by me

If we never leave

And we can live like this forever

It's fine by me

Track 03

Slow

Lyrics

(Verse 1)

A charcoal heart that you can't ignore

Because you've been burned before

You tell me that everything that is good will end

You were building castles in the air

But they fell to the ground there was nothing there

You said you'd never get so close again

And lately, it's yellow lights and you're breaking

Say you just want to wait and see it all unfold

But baby when you find what you're seeking

Something you can believe in you just got to go

(Chorus)

So let's not take it slow

Let's not take it slow

I don't want to take it slow

Let's not take it slow

(Verse 2)

I don't want to rush your love

I can never get enough

I'm sitting outside your door

I give you everything you need

Sunshine, the world and all your dreams

So what are we waiting for

But lately, it's yellow lights and you're breaking

Say you just want to wait and see it all unfold

But baby when you find what you're seeking

Something you can believe in you just got to go

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Waiting for the perfect storm

We've been slowly chasing love

Now it's time to cross the line

And I want more

But lately, it's yellow lights and your breaking

Say you just want to wait and see it all unfold

But baby when you find what you're seeking

Something you can believe in you just got to go

(Chorus)

Track 04 

You Should Know Better

Lyrics

I'm on the phone; you turn your back on me

We're all alone, why is this happening

I never thought I would be questioning the one I, one I love

But here we are wrapped up in silence

Can we sound the alarm both so defiant and

Don't know where to start

I keep colliding with the one I, one I love

Don't make it so hard for me to stay

You should know better than that

Before you go on breaking my heart

And I fall even deeper in love

And my lungs screaming out can you hear me

You should know better than that

And here we are, here we are

If I could leave, I would be leaving

Cause I cannot believe what I am hearing

Tell me, how can it be

I'm second guessing on the one I, one I love

Don't make it so hard for me to stay

You should know better than that

Before you go on breaking my heart

And I fall even deeper in love

And my lungs screaming out can you hear me

You should know better than that

And here we are, here we are,

Here we are, here we are again

Some forgive just to forget

I have not forgotten yet, I still believe in you

But there is a crack in our cement

This time it's permanent, permanent

You should know, you should know better than that

Before you go on breaking my heart

And I fall even deeper in love

And my lungs screaming out can you hear me

You should know better than that

And here we are, here we are,

Here we are, here we are again

You should know better than that

And here we are, here we are,

Here we are, here we are again

You should know better than that

Track 05

Lunatic

Lyrics

(Verse 1)

I've got five bucks sitting at a coffee shop

I just wrote a lyric that made me stop

Think about the world and what I got

It's a beautiful, beautiful day

I've got dreams for food and hope for drink

A new chance coming every time I blink

Sunset dripping off the thoughts I think

It's a beautiful, beautiful day

And maybe I should care more about safety

But I can't ignore or betray these voices singing

(Chorus)

You can do this, you can do this

You are not a lunatic

Crazy would be changing your mind

You can do this, you can do this

You are not a lunatic

Crazy would be leaving it behind

(Verse 2)

I've got five bucks waiting on a matinee

I love to see films in the middle of the day

Same movie seen a different way

I don't think that makes me crazy

And I start work on the opposite side, of the clock

Tic tock clubs open at nine

I like to rock till the early daylight

Write music till five, this is my life

Maybe I should care more about safety

But I can't ignore or betray these voices singing

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I will wiggle in a straight jacket forever

This is not some slight disease we can try and cure

This is one thing in my life that I know for sure

There is no turning back now

And maybe I should care more about safety

But I can't ignore or betray these voices singing

(Chorus)

Track 06

Miss Me

Lyrics

I wake up and I'm sober

Don't even know you anymore

Punch drunk on a feeling

Lost in believing I was sure

I don't care what you have to say

Damn words get in the way, I don't wanna know

I know there'll come a time

When I look you in the eyes and say, "I told you so"

And I promise you this

You're gonna miss me, miss me

As long as you live

You're gonna miss me, miss me

Oh

Set me up for the falling

Gave me no warning, you were gone

Let me down, I was reading

I can't believe what you have done

Go do what you've gotta do

Damn words will follow you everywhere you go

And I know there'll come a time

When I look you in the eyes and say, "I told you so"

And I promise you this

You're gonna miss me, miss me

As long as you live

You're gonna miss me, miss me

Oh

I believe in my heart

When something's wrong, say it's wrong

I can deal with the part

When something's wrong if we both stay strong

I know there will come a time

When I look you in the eyes and say, "I told you so"

And I promise you this

You're gonna miss me, miss me

As long as you live

You're gonna miss me, miss me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I wake up and I'm sober

Track 07

The Pocket

Lyrics

Do you want to be my love, my sight, my heart, and my eyes

My world, my pride, my stars in my skies

I'm looking for a queen who's more than gorgeous on a movie screen

I'm looking for the covergirl of dignified beauty magazine

I want dimples, and simple symbols that she's sweet

Wrinkles her nose, expose what I mean

I'm looking for a four-course meal that isn't based in base desire

I'm looking for a lady that knows the soul is more than an appetizer

Just one more thing

Just one more thing

Do we fit in the pocket, can we fix it back in the pocket

When the dreams and the drums start rocking

Can we dance with our knees not knocking

See I, I want a lady I can put stock in

I want a bass and backbeat to lock in

I want to know real love's not forgotten

I want a teacher who's eager to speak her mind

Delicate features, sweet with her tongue so kind

I'm looking for the markers that say "permanent" so we can share

I'm looking for a love still alive and well in rocking chairs

I want faithful, and stable, and able

Beauty that moves me and improves my soul

I'm looking for a shining light that likes to fight and persevere

I'm looking for a lady that wants to make me part of her atmosphere

Just one more thing

Just one more thing

Do we fit in the pocket, can we fix it back in the pocket

When the dreams and the drums start rocking

Can we dance with our knees not knocking, knocking

See I, I want a lady I can put stock in

I want a bass and backbeat to lock in

I want to know real love's not forgotten

All I need to know is (x3)

Are you clear on who you are

Do you love it?

When this world starts getting hard

Rise above it, rise above it

In the pocket

Can we fix it back in the pocket

When the dreams and the drums start rocking, rocking

Can we dance with our knees not knocking

See I, I want a lady I can put stock in

I want a base and backbeat to lock in

I want to know real love's not forgotten

In the pocket

Can we fix it back in the pocket

When the dreams and the drums start rocking, rocking

Can we dance with our knees not knocking

See I, I want a lady I can put stock in

I want a base and backbeat to lock in

I want to know real love's not forgotten

 

Track 08

Ladies

Lyrics

My mother told me,

She said Andy,

You'll be a man soon,

So understand me.

Most of this world sees,

Women like candy.

You'll be a man who,

Will be standing for me.

(Hook)

My sisters, my daughters and wives,

Girls who are learning how to shine their light

Dedicate some of your life,

Stand for them all.

Sing it now, me

My sisters, my daughters, and wives,

Girls who are learning how to shine their light.

Dedicate some of your life

You will stand for them all,

(Chorus)

Sing it now

Ladies,

You are beautiful, you are beautiful,

You don't even have to try.

Oh ladies,

You are beautiful, you are beautiful,

More than you could realize.

(Verse 2)

My mother told me,

She said andy,

I know this song may,

Seem demanding.

But I'll be leaving,

And will be handing,

All of my love to you,

You will be standing for me,

(Hook)

My sisters, my daughters and wives,

Girls who are learning how to shine their light.

Dedicate some of your lives,

Stand for them all,

(Chorus)

Sing it now,

Ladies,

You are beautiful, you are beautiful,

You don't even have to try,

Oh ladies,

You are beautiful, you are beautiful,

More than you could realize.

I'm not sure I'm the best one

To carry this torch,

I'm a mess and my nose is sore

Fallin on my face tryin to

Break the norm,

But I still conform.

And I know you see,

The mistakes I make and wait

Patiently, for me to replace them

And I can't quite seem,

To be the perfect man,

That you needed me to be,

I need you to believe that

I'll be standing here,

Got my sword, I got my shield.

And you keep ringing in my ear,

Oh lord,

Talking bout me,

(Hook)

My sisters, my daughters, and wives.

Girls who are learning how shine their light.

Dedicate some of your life,

Stand for them all,

(Chorus)

Sing it now ladies,

You are beautiful, you are beautiful,

You don't even have to try,

Oh ladies,

You are beautiful, you are beautiful,

More than you could realize.

Ladies,

You are beautiful, you are beautiful, you don't even have to try,

Sing it ladies

You are beautiful, you are beautiful,

More than you could realize.

Track 09

Love Love Love

Lyrics

(Verse 1)

It's like I've been feeling like a helium balloon

You know I'm always on the rise

Or is this love, love, love, love, love?

Dead winter but it feels like June

With a smile I can't hide

Or is this love, love, love, love, love?

No defenses I'm too deep for common sense

Well it's love, love, love, love, love

Oh my I'm so delighted; I don't try to even fight it

I think you should know that I will never let you go

(Chorus)

Oh I won't, I won't let you go

I won't let you go

I won't, I won't let you go

I won't let you go

I won't let you go now

(Verse 2)

I've been feeling like you're swimming through my hair

You know you're always on my mind

Or is this love, love, love, love, love?

Dead broke feeling like a millionaire

With a twinkle in my eye

Or is this love, love, love, love, love?

No defenses I'm too deep for common sense

Well it's love, love, love, love, love

Oh my I'm so delighted; I don't try to even fight it

I think you should know, that I will never let you go

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I've been sleeping on a cloud called number nine

Walking on the air and staring at the sky

I can't remember ever feeling so alive

It's like you brought me back to life

Well you turned on all the lights, somehow

No defenses I'm too deep for common sense

Well it's love, love, love, love, love

(Chorus) x2

Track 10

Build Me a Girl

Lyrics

(Verse 1)

I was nearly a soul getting ready to go

Having one last talk with my maker

He said you're going to earth for better or worse

We'll see you back here sooner or later

So I said to him, as I spread my wings

Would you do one thing for me

(Chorus)

Would you build me a girl from all over the world

I promise I will always adore you

Made in Japan, with style of Milan and smile from California

Brazilian walk, head from New York, pretty Parisian curls

Build me a girl

Build me a girl

(Verse 2)

Well the days went by

Wondering why, why it was I hadn't found her

I was staring at eyes

Smiling at smiles

Still I was none the wiser

And you know I don't

Don't mean to impose

But I thought we had a deal

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

So calling all woman who fit this description

If I'm what you're missing

Then please just listen to the wind

The clouds they're all screaming out, they're trying to bring you to me

So please don't shut them out

Because there is a lady who is made for me

Yes, there is a lady who has been made for me

(Chorus) x2

Track 11

Biggest Man in Los Angeles

Lyrics

(Verse 1)

I got my start on the street

With the monkey next to me he'll

Shake your hand for a dollar,

If you're nice kiss your cheek

To my left I can see

Chinese flipping bowls on their heads from their feet

Yo

Strolling on the scene

Are my arch-enemies

Break-dancers take your crowd, your girl, your money

Balloon man's telling me to turn down please

And the psychic agrees

I begin to see that

Oh I'm home, I'm right where I belong

And there's no where else that I'd rather be

(Chorus)

Because those moments on the street

When crowd would rock with me

I felt like the biggest man, the biggest man in Los Angeles

You see all I really need

Are some ears to hear me dream

I feel like the biggest man, the biggest man in Los Angeles

Standing on the street, yeah

Just standing on the street

(Verse 2)

Trombone cuts deep through the crowd doing Motown moves

With his hat tucked down

A belly dancer passes the tip jar around

And the men are confused, slightly aroused

Muslims, Christians preaching, wishing

I would shut up so the people could listen

Supposed to cut through all this noise

With my little voice, I begin to see that

Oh I'm home, I'm right where I belong

And there's no where else that I'd rather be

(Chorus)

And the day goes dark

I pack my car

Stare out at the ocean

Take some time

A quiet smile

Let it all just soak in

(Chorus) x2

Wheeew!! That's quite a lot. Did you listen to them? Any favorite? :)

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

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. ♥

the andy grammer obsession

 the andy grammer obsession part 4

 One lazy Wednesday afternoon, I found myself obsessing with Andy Grammer again. This time though my obsession got a notch worse to the point that I actually registered to Andy Grammer Nation just to find his old songs. I found out that even before his self-titled album, Andy Grammer of course, he already released a couple of EP's, Extended Play that is. His First EP is The World is Yours released back in 2007. He actually sold that album personally to people when he was still a busker in Santa Monica. That got me admiring him all the more. Hahaha! Patay na patay lang ang peg. :P

And while I'm still downloading the tracks on his second EP, Soft Lights on Bright Colors, you might want to listen to the tracks below from his first EP. Hihihi. Tara, kanta! 

First EP: The World is Yours (2007)

Track 01

The World is Yours

Lyrics

This is the song that you throw on

When life is feeling rather long

And you're longing for confidence to make it

And these are the words that make you feel

That all your dreams aren't dreams

But real events that simply haven't taken place yet 

But if you stare high

The sky will come right down and kiss you

If you keep your head towards the stars

They will assist you

The world is yours

The world is yours

This is the time of night

When all the streetlights rub their waking eyes

The day and night find compromise in dark blue

This is the magic in the air

That whispers, "You are almost there"

The worries, cares, and daydreamers will leave soon

But if you stare high

The sky will come right down and kiss you

If you keep your head towards the stars

They will assist you

The world is yours

The world is yours

Well, this is the song that you throw on

When life is feeling rather long

And you're longing for confidence to make it

And these are the words that make you feel

That all your dreams aren't dreams

But real events that simply haven't taken place yet 

But if you stare high

The sky will come right down and kiss you

But if you keep your head towards the stars

They will assist you

The world is yours

The world is yours

What are you waiting for?

The world is yours

The world is yours 

Track 02

Where are You

Can't find the lyrics of this one. Eepp! Help me? :)

Track 03

Still Beautiful

Lyrics

Our conversations are flying home tonight

Honeymooners, returning on a midnight flight

They are coming back to normal lives

Vacations morph into nine-to-fives

And I slip off this rosy pair

Of lenses and you're still beautiful

Smoke has cleared, the wrapping tears

Bright lights fade, and you're still beautiful

I sense you shaving off my mysteries

And knowing my trophies have realistic histories

The fish have gone aback to normal size

A man of limits stands before your gentle eyes

And I slip off this rosy pair

Of lenses and you're still beautiful

Smoke has cleared, the wrapping tears

Bright lights fade, and you're still beautiful

I start with my nose at the painting

Slowly step back and this is amazing

Dr. Cal has a patient-ly waiting for me to earn them

"Real" is harder to see in a smile

Tears break the seal of denial

Rosy colors are nice for a while but now I'm learning

And I slip off this rosy pair

Of lenses and you're still beautiful

Track 04

Touch

Lyrics

Touch that is the new condition

All of my thoughts positioned towards the ground where I can stand

Such, it's such an easy surrender

When we become pretenders sending dreams up in balloons that never land

Some day I will be a millionaire

I'd rather talk about it then be here

Well I am busy planning a wedding

Although I keep on forgetting that I do not have a wife

And my recipes are so enticing 

Focusing time on the icing of the cakes that seem to make up all my life

Some day I will be a millionaire

I'd rather talk about it then be here

Lately everything it seems so clear

It's that I never want to lie

It's that I'm never going to lie

Well I wasn't made to lie

I want to feel 

Like the missing puzzle piece of something that's real

Bring to the table, something that's stable

And I don't need to fool this light 

That is such an ugly fight and I

Never liked acting much

Anything I do now I need to touch

I'm running around in a costume

Slowing me down as I'm posturing myself to gain the wealth of what I'm not

Hey everyone sees it's a costume

Take it off maybe I'll blossom into who it is I was but just forgot

Track 05

Numbers (live)

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
