How To Be Friends

Down by the water
everyone looking for
their own piece of mind
Down by the water
something deep and different
calling me this time
calling me this time
Drink it up my honey
drink it in my baby
Gonna sit back and stay
Ooh well ain't it funny?
Yeah you know it's pretty
I ain't got no shame
I got no shame ooh
hey
nah uhh
How to be friends
Show me how to be friends
Well, I heard it can be done
and I hope for such circumstance
Keep me tethered in the truth
Bind my heart and pull my tooth
if you have to cause
in my mind I'm gone to Carolina
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
well I dropped a hundred pieces along the way
Yeah in my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Let us count our blessings
before they pass away

I picked you a flower
I pulled a couple petals off
carried it around
put it in my pocket
then I washed those jeans
I stopped to smell the roses
I didn’t keep an eye on the clock
Heard the buzzing of the bees..
it hypnotized me
I found a good spot on the grass
in the shade of a tree
Gave you a call
said "Don't you worry at all,
I'll be back before dark"
well nighttime fell
and you were alone
Some people get mad
and some get even
Some people might get the wrong idea if I told them the truth
but not you
Some people get sad
and some get busy
Some get the notion to escape their reality
Some people like me
hmmm

I gotta put it in a song
I can't bother you on a given Sunday
on a given Monday
on a Tuesday
Wednesday
I gotta lock it in my chest
I gotta throw away the key
I can't say the words
and you won't say a word to me
No
Hush myself up
I gotta
hush myself up
I gotta
hush myself up
I gotta hush myself up
You've got a lot going on
You've got sunny bright skies
I've got clouds in mine but I wont let them
get in your way
Hush myself up
I gotta
hush myself up
I gotta
hush myself up
I gotta hush myself up

I will clap for you
I'll be glad for you
and if you want me to
I'll step aside

The Cause
02:15

Like a gravestone I crack
in memory of
the almost life we had
Trust me I know
you would have regretted those seeds you had sown
Nostalgia takes my hand
and guides me through a darkened land
We’re far too much the same in that way
You're the cause that I turn
Let it warm you
Let it burn into your brain
The fear of God - the only thing keeping me away
And respect for the love that remains
Love remains

I'm a nightlight
Could've made me yourself
I am nothing compared to the lamp on your
side table
Nonetheless
I am able
to give you clarity
I'm a nightlight
in a hall
in the bathroom
on a wall in the foyer illuminating every corner
Cause I care, I care, I care, I care
I care
I care
I care
I care to
I care, I care, I care, I care
I'm a nightlight
I am nothing in sight of the sun
as it rises
Life is full of surprises
Electricity
Electricity
Electricity
I'm a nightlight
