LYRICS
Remember When
Every time I see you I just fall apart
folded up in streetlight, watching from afar
Sing it to me softly, say it underneath your breath
Every time I see you I remember when
Every time I see you I just wanna start
over from the moment you approached the bar
Sing it to me softly, say it underneath your breath
Every time I see you I remember when
I Would
Tighten Up
and i want this to be special
and i want this to be quite unique
by the time that i have finished
it will represent the best of me
but you know you know
the focus is off now
you’ve got to tighten up
you know you know
you’re missing the action
you can’t see clear enough
and i wanted to be Elvis
and i wanted to befriend Bowie
by the time that i was older
i would be a famous mystery
but you know you know
the focus is off now
you’ve got to tighten up
you know you know
you’re missing the action
you can’t see clear enough
ORD
This I Believe
Won’t you look at me now
I’m a superstar
Riding private streets
In a private car
Won’t you come to my house
in my living room
get your notebooks out
lesson’s starting soon
and I do believe
(and this is what you should write down)
and I do believe
(is there another pen around)
and I do believe
(that maybe we should wait until you’re really ready)
This has taken me years
countless quiet nights
I’m studying my craft
getting it down right
You could do it the same
in your living room
You could be like me
But don’t move too soon
‘cause I do believe
(and this is what you should write down)
and I do believe
(is there another pen around)
and I do believe
(that maybe we should wait until you’re really ready)
