Talk to me, I'll talk to you We talk when you've got nothing else to do And I don't, too But I go up and you go down Our schedules keep on spinning us around And it may take a thousand years to (That's alright, that's alright) Get you to hang out with me again (That's alright, that's alright) Don't take the shortcut, lazy! Because it really isn't worth The price, the short cuts, take me To the center of the Earth There ain't no short cut, lately Because it ruins all the fun I'd rather you be happy Then be fed up, tired, done I love the way you overthink The thoughts you think you're thinking about too much That's your special touch You take me for what I am And you like what you take, god I hope That it's true You're so fun to talk to and You're so easy to walk up to And this world spins in circles 'Round a stupid kid, his name is Squirrel Don't take the shortcut, lazy! Because it really isn't worth The price, the short cuts, take me To the center of the Earth There ain't no short cut, lately Because it ruins all the fun I'd rather you be happy Then be fed up, tired, done

I caught the love of a man from above He took me to the sun And I witnessed his warming glow We went to his garden to pick out the flowers And he showed me Earth's beauty So perfect in every way Head perched on hands he sat Eyes meeting mine as I Talked and he listened and smiled and nodded I wrapped around him his skin glowing yellow With eyes closed he smiled And this gave it all meaning Ooo, I'll stare up at the sun Ooo, I'll stare up at the sun Ooo, I'll stare up at the sun Ooo, I'll stare up at the sun Gold angels dancing wore bright burning halos In the hot humid air That the oracle spoke about His palace stood tall in the heavens above and it Made me unsure if I Deserved his love or not We talked for hours it never got tired The humans were ants they crushed Smaller ants down below Fell on our backs to the white fluffy cloud It wasn't cold it wasn't warm We just stared at the sun a while A storm of great envy brewed up in the atmosphere He took me to his mountain where beauty was everywhere The tears from his eyes made white steam pour up from him He held me so tight And I held him back tighter than love, love, love Tighter than love, love, love Tighter than love, love, love Tighter than love, love, love I nearly cried when I Found out I died and he Planted my seed and I Grew to be beautiful I am not hurt, now I Lay in the dirt, I know He looks upon me And cries for my beauty He'll always be there And I'll laugh at his jokes Which I don't think are funny Unless he is telling them I see the light now And I wish we could be Like Eros and Psyche Forever embracing the sun

Trust Me 06:39
I wish I could make you see The pretty things that you could be Nothing takes you very long You never get the answers wrong I don't want to see you cry There's so much life inside your eyes Someone wanted you to die And buried you, you were alive You were hurting, yes it seemed 'Cause I could tell from how you screamed Walked the graves and then I found You buried deep beneath the ground Dug you up, you were a star Your flesh was soft, the dirt was hard I hope that you'll realize I see the life inside your eyes I respect you, not the dirt And I don't want to see you hurt There is nothing for us here Sometimes I wanna disappear I don't mind if you can't see I hope you know you can trust me
