SUNSHINE DRIVE
Sunshine drive, leave it all behind.
Put the pedal down, go free your mind.
Let’s take a trip across the lines.
We’re gonna see the world, we’re gonna pass the signs.
Sunshine drive, let the hearts align.
Can you show me a smile in them big blue eyes.
Gotta give it all just a little more time.
Gonna teach me patience until I lose my mind.
When I want what I need like I need what I want.
When I want what I need like I need what I want.
When I want what I need like I need what I want.
When I want what I need like I need what I want.
When I want what I need like I need what I want.
When I want what I need like I need what I want.
When I want what I need like I need what I want.
When I want what I need like I need what I want.
Come on baby, let me show you something.
Let me take you for a little ride.
Come on baby, let me show you something
and make everything alright.
Come on baby, let me show you something.
Let me take you for a little ride.
Come on baby, let me show you something
and make everything alright.

The Mandatory How-To

THE MANDATORY HOW-TO
Trying to keep my hands tied. Or so busy that they don’t run wild.
I got to keep ‘em occupied, ‘cause when they lack instruction.
My reach gets wide like mass destruction.
The magic, the mischief milieu I’m putting around you.
I’m flowing just like water. If i get deep I just might drown you.
Astound you with the sound and put you back just where I found you.
Give you the what-for and the mandatory how-to.
Don’t blink when I pass by. I’m so quick to evade the eyes.
I’m like a flash or a blur or a streak of lightning.
To keep me in your sights, keep your senses heightened.
A whisper, a mist, a presence in your head space.
I’m gonna kick the habit and shake away the dead weight.
Prepare for a rumble. Ring the bell, it’s time for round two.
Give you the what-for and the mandatory how-to.

YOUR HANDS
Well, its pretty patronizing… these lines you’ve been writing
in this message you just had to send.
To tell me that you know how much it hurts, oh
girl, you really don’t have to pretend.
As your honesty slurs, your beauty is blurred
and it causes the crawling of my shedding skin.
I’ll pass on hearing how, this has really got you down
since I know you’re spending your time with him.
I think you’d be surprised at how little I’ve cried,
and it gets easier everyday.
I only miss the front you used to put up,
and now I wish the rest of you would just go away.
All this picking up glitter is making me bitter
and you know I never meant to be mean.
But your words have grown hollow and the truth doesn’t follow
this smoke screen disguise you want me to believe.
And I hope for your sake that he’s willing to wait
for your heart to grow up and finally commit.
Our love, it was laced, and it poisoned my veins.
Maybe your hands fit better in his.
I think you’d be surprised at how little I’ve cried
and it gets easier everyday.
I only miss the front you used to put up.
Now, I wish the rest of you would just go away.

PRETTY PRETTY
You know I’d never hate you, I’m just not that kind of guy.
But we’re fresh out of cheeks to turn. I don’t believe in an eye for an eye.
Somewhere we learned to love like bullies - heavy weight manipulation.
Now we’re swaying in the aftermath of the post-match conversation.
Pulling muscles pulling strings attached to everything but hope.
No it shouldn’t be this hard, baby. It shouldn’t be this hard to know.
How could something so pretty just keep shining so bright?
Recalling each day with a bittersweet taste
keeps my memories aging like wine.
How could something so pretty just keep shining so bright?
Though we parted ways at the end of the day
you know I’m always going to cherish the time.
How we spend our time says the most about who we are,
and it feels like we’re talking louder than ever, more confused than ever before.
We were walking along with shadows and I couldn’t keep counting three.
Two people each with one foot in and out - that don’t float in a boat full of dreams.
Pulling muscles pulling strings attached to everything but hope.
No it shouldn’t be this hard, baby. It shouldn’t be this hard to know.
How could something so pretty just keep shining so bright?
Recalling each day with a bittersweet taste
keeps my memories aging like wine.
How could something so pretty just keep shining so bright?
Though we parted ways at the end of the day
you know I’m always going to cherish the time.

WHAT I WANTED
I used to think I knew just what I wanted. And at some point, I thought that that was you.
And as my needs eclipse those things I wanted, I realize now my wants don’t tell the truth.
And if knowledge is power then I’m going to lose this battle.
Each answer brings questions that leave me much more confused.
Of all of these mysteries, I’m the only thing that unravels
I get close to the truth and farther and farther from you.
I used to think I knew more than I wanted. Now, I see that’s simply not the truth.
My memories lead me here and leave me nothing. At least I know I’m safer without you.
And if knowledge is power then I’m going to lose this battle.
Each answer brings questions that leave me much more confused.
Of all of these mysteries, I’m the only thing that unravels
I get close to the truth and farther and farther from you.
Ahhhh…
I used to think I knew just what I wanted. Now, I see that’s simply not the truth.

THIS TRAIN
This train is bound for glory and that’s where I’m headed to.
I don’t need to hear the whole story to know what I’m going to do.
This train is bound for glory, come on and step inside.
This train is bound for glory, get yourself a free ride.
This train is bound for glory and that’s where I’m headed to.
I don’t need to hear the whole story to know what I’m going to do.
This train is bound for glory, come on and step inside.
This train is bound for glory, get yourself a free ride.
Go ahead, hit me with the task. I’ll get it done if it breaks my back.
There’s just no way of keeping track what I’m working with when you cross my path.
Side-stepping, straight second guessing. You’re stuck in a detour that’s never ending.
You’re splitting in two and it’s got you stressing. I can’t let it slide, yo, I’ve got to address it.
What is it about a perfectly tied bow that makes you want to rip the present wide open.
You took your time alright, it shines in the light, it’s bright and it sure shows.
Still you’re standing there with your wide eyes staring at the mouth that’s bringing the flow.
Read my lips while you’re down there glitching… avoid my eyes or I’m taking control.
