It’s a beautiful day
Each and every time
That I hear you say
“It’s a beautiful day”
I’m immobilized by your positivity
We make electricity
It’s a beautiful night
Each and every time
You admit I’m right
When I say ‘It’s a beautiful night’
How’s about you and I
Hop on the next flight to San Antone
Where we could be alone
It’s a beautiful day
Each and every time
That I hear you say
That “It’s a beautiful day”
Each and every time
I find you standing next to me
Just like you were supposed to be in San Antone

Candy Coated Shell

If there’s just one thing you are good at
It’s taking the air out of the room
All the extra storage space
Will soon become a vacuum
Do you know what happens when you assume?
The role of the know-it-all gets thrust upon you
What it is (candy coated kisses)
I can’t tell (on my neck they fell)
All I tasted was a Candy Coated Shell
What it is (I think I must be dreaming)
I can’t tell (Things are going far too well)
All I tasted was a Candy Coated Shell
After a word from our sponsors
We’re coming back with a tease
It spoils all the happy endings
You’ve had hidden in your sleeves
Do you know what happens when you achieve?
You end up wanting more than you could ever need
What it is (candy coated kisses)
I can’t tell (on my neck they fell)
All I tasted was a Candy Coated Shell
What it is (I think I must be dreaming)
I can’t tell (Things are going far too well)
All I tasted was a Candy Coated Shell
Candy Coated Shell
They’ll be hell
To pay someday
Is it preordained?
Or should we make arrangements?
What it is (candy coated kisses)
I can’t tell (on my neck they fell)
All I tasted was a Candy Coated Shell
What it is (candy coated kisses)
We shall see (in front of silver screens)
If the previews are way better than the movies

Wrong

I know something’s wrong, don’t want to talk about it
I know something’s wrong, I can’t be bothered with it
I know something’s wrong
And I know something’s wrong
We haven’t spoke in a day since when
Our conversation went quiet
You know something’s wrong, don’t want to talk about it
I know something’s wrong, you can’t be bothered with it
I know something’s wrong
And you know something’s wrong
We’re both too stubborn to admit transgressions
And we’re both too quick to get defensive
You know something’s wrong, don’t want to talk about it
I know something’s wrong, you can’t be bothered with it
I know something’s wrong
I know something’s wrong
I know something’s wrong, don’t want to talk about it
You know something’s wrong, you can’t be bothered with it
I know something’s wrong
And I know something’s wrong

Standout
02:47

Well, I thought of something to say
So, I wrote it down
Why on earth would I use my mouth,
And say it out loud?
Why on earth would I do that?
Well, I thought of something to say
So, I wrote it down
You know I’d rather stand around
And watch relationships sail in and out
But hell, isn’t that what life is about?
Well, I thought of something to say
So, I wrote it down
Who said I wanted to be found
Surrounded by the camouflaging of the crowd?
Did I stand out?
Why on earth would I use my mouth?
You know I’d rather stand around
Who said I wanted to be found
Surrounded by the camouflaging of the crowd?
Did I stand out?
Did I stand out?
Did I stand out?

The Trip

A trip to the chiropractor could alleviate
All the aches and pains accumulated from
Not having my head on straight
And a trip to the dentist couldn’t hurt as much
As bending over backwards for you does
I don’t want to be
Just the magazine you read
In the waiting room
While your phone is dying
It’s easy to forget
There is convenience in your ignorance
A trip to the chiropractor could alleviate
All the aches and pains accumulated from
The actions on our first date
I’m getting jealous of the television screen
Because it pulls you away from that magazine
You were reading
In the waiting room
While your phone is dying
It’s easy to forget
There is convenience in your ignorance
Oh, you know there is

Clean

I put a dime in your picture frame
To see if it would stay the same
I could report a change
I’m tired of staring in the bathroom mirror
It steers me in the opposite direction
Where I can’t tell my left from what’s right
In spite of the excellent lighting
I get clean
I get clean
I could get clean early in the morning
After a sleepless night of dreams
Water wakes me up
Or maybe I could save that stuff for later
After we’ve been working real hard
I mean working really hard
I know you’ve been working hard
You’d never let me forget
I should get clean
I get clean
I get clean
I get clean

Lemonade

Not every situation calls for lemonade
That’s why I am like your favorite couch
I’m easily suede
And if you think you’ve got it tough
How would you like to trade
‘Cause not every situation calls for lemonade
And I anticipate we’ll make mistakes
No one is perfect we should celebrate
I am not unique
‘Cause when I want the truth you answer me
Tongue in cheek
So, don’t seek a lighter load
Ask for broad shoulders
And any trouble making peace
Than make more soldiers
The best part of waking up
Should not be Folgers
All your dreams were last night
Now you’re one day older
Life’s an uphill battle
And we’re pushing boulders
So, don’t seek a lighter load
Ask for broad shoulders
And I anticipate we’ll make mistakes
No one is perfect we should celebrate
I am not unique
‘Cause when I want the truth you answer me
Tongue in cheek
So, not everything situation calls for lemonade
That’s why I am like your favorite pant suit
Easily suede
And if you think you don’t want anything
Try not getting paid
‘Cause not every situation
Calls for lemonade
And I anticipate we’ll make mistakes
No one is perfect we should celebrate
I am not unique
‘Cause when I want the truth you answer me
Tongue in cheek
So, not every situation calls for lemonade
