Mousey 03:00
Saw him sniffin' all around the floor He saw me lookin' and scurried to the door I said "Wait, Mousey, I'm not like all them other humans. Please stay and tell me, how ya doin'?" He said "Ooo life as a mouse, it ain't pretty Ooo I'd really love to see the city Ooo life as a mouse, it ain't fun Ooo get tricked by a trap and you're done." He saw me cryin' curled up in my bed I saw him peerin' and went to turn my head He said "Wait, Girly, I'm not like all them other mice. Come here and tell me, how's your life?" I said "Ooo life as a human ain't too nice Ooo I'd really love some great advice Ooo life as a human ain't too fun Ooo time ticks and it tocks, then you're done." We started thinkin' all about our sadness Then we started laughin' slowly slipping into madness We said "It's funny how we're not like all them other beings. Let's go and dance upon our feelings!" We sang "Ooo life can be a scary thing Ooo so this is why we dance and sing Ooo life can be all kinds of fun Ooo get tricked by a trap and time ticks and it tocks so we click with the clocks til we're done."

Hold On 04:14
Pictures move through our heads tonight All the things that we've done take flight But this isn't what This isn't what we think it is It's so much more It's so much more we know it is Waiting for our new lives to begin Feeling our hearts pound from deep within Hold on hold on hold on Just a little bit Hold on hold on hold on And move on move on move on Just a little more Move on move on move on Living our lives out on a whim Just in this last piece of summer we're in But this isn't what This isn't what we think it is It's so much more It's so much more we know it is Holding our breath and waiting for the worst Closing our eyes tears about to burst Hold on hold on hold on Just a little bit Hold on hold on hold on And move on move on move on Just a little more Move on move on move on Put your hands in the air Feel the freedom in your hair Put your hand on your heart Feel your life about to start Hold on hold on hold on Just a little bit Hold on hold on hold on And move on move on move on Just a little more Move on move on move on Hold on hold on hold on Just a little bit Hold on hold on hold on And move on move on move on Just a little more Move on move on move on

Look at you and look at me We are not so easily defined Simple face to simple feet But complicated in between Look at you and look at me We simply cannot be compared Yet we share all the same basic needs The complication's in between (Ooos) Now look at her and look at him They hold the secrets we must wait to find Chest to chest and chin to chin No the complications are within Look at her and look at him Been through life and back again Their lined faces might seem grim The complications are within Woahhh (Ooos) Complications are what we all are Complications are what we all are Complications are what we all are Complications are what we all are Woahhh (Ooos) Complications are what we all are Complications are what we all are Complications are what we all are Complications are what we all are

Your face Is imprinted in my mind My heart begins to race And suddenly I find That you're no man Yeah you're just a little boy So take my hand And put away your toys Take a breath And tell me the truth And it's ok Because you know you want to It scares me to death To know you're such a fool But I'm ok Because I realized something today You Don't Always Get Your Way No no no You Don't Always Get Your Way No no no Roll the dice Because I'm playing this game again You go twice And that way you can win I've played it all before I even know the next part 'Cause you've been keeping score And now you'll take my heart Take a breath And tell me the truth And it's ok Because you know you want to It scares me to death To know you're such a fool But I'm ok Because I realized something today You Don't Always Get Your Way No no no You Don't Always Get Your Way No no no So get out your playing cards Because I know someday I'll win I'll make you fall so hard That your head will start to spin And if you challenge me to chess I know that I will be the best Take a breath And tell me the truth And it's ok Because you know you want to It scares me to death To know you're such a fool But I'm ok Because I realized something today You Don't Always Get Your Way No no no You Don't Always Get Your Way No no no

(Ee ahs) I can't erase the things that I've done But don't you dare think that I'm the only one I can create a marvelous space Where my whole life can be replaced (Ee ahs) This is my name and this is how I sing Please listen close when I tell you everything This is my home and all the things I make Where my whole life is carved from cake (Ee ahs) This world is mine I have made every line All the birds and bees They are just fine by me This world is mine I have made every line All the birds and bees They are just fine with me (Ee ahs) This world is mine I have made every line All the birds and bees They are just fine with me (Ee ahs)
