Golden Pick 03:23
I've got a ukelele with a golden pick Gonna write a pretty little song with it Tell my little baby that I love her so I've got a guitar with a silver string Sounds like heaven when you hear it ring Gonna open up the gates and let em sing for you Oh na na na ... Tell my little baby that I love her so I'm pounding out a rhythm on a beat-up drum One day I'll get it covered up in platinum A platinum drum and I'm playing a rhythm for you Diamonds all over my microphone When the spotlight hit it gonna see it shine Say that you love me and I'm gonna give it all to you Rock the rhythm one time You are the reason that I've got the rhyme Bring it back to you ... Stars come out at night Your eyes are twice as bright Bring it back to me ...

Open up a five dollar bottle of wine You put down your phone and I'll put down mine Turn on a Pandora station Keep it low and we'll have a conversation We hear the sound of the rain on the window It's bad out out there but where would we go Cause outside it's storming We're nice and warm Were in a good place Staying in the house all day Dancing in the kitchen We know exactly what we're missing We're in the good place Staying in the house all day We got flowers in the front yard We got flowers in fingerpaint Got a fifteen year old car Gonna leave it in the driveway Oh you got too much to do Don't have to do it today Gonna waste the afternoon You got something to read and I'll write a song for you Nothing better to do Listen to the streetcar on the avenue Oh the night is long And the kids are at your mom's Uh oh, here we go Open up a five dollar bottle of wine You put down your phone and I'll put down mine Turn off the radio The cat and the couch for the late show

Take an X-ray never gonna need it When a heart breaks everybody sees it Every mistake lying in pieces Don't mind me now I was just leaving Oh no you don't Oh yes I did Not this again You're carrying the Weight And you can't put it down Stuck in the middle of it And you can't get out Shot the eight ball in the corner pocket Right now there's nothing that'll stop it One thing left to do Sit back and watch it roll into view Here we go Gonna sing along Like a summertime song Where did you go and what did you give? Who do you love and who do you miss? It's in the way you go about it

For You 03:43
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight I'm just sitting here wasted another day Climbing out the window Staring at the moon I would gladly try to Bring it close for you We've been doing everything the wrong way Let's slow down and we can take the long way I would tell you a good bedtime story Hold you all night long even if you're snoring For you I'll fight a lost cause For you I built these four walls For you the end it justifies the means It means everything All my love All these songs All my sense is gone One, two, three, four ...
5.
Hold up I'm just saying I don't even understand why you're playing Outside in the cold and you know it's raining Last night I went crazy Couple dramas and the rest of it is hazy Like a baby with a bottle You broke it and I bought it Threw it up in the air and then I caught it Oh inevitably You're leaving and I'm bleeding Why does it keep on repeating Oh listen to me I don't know What you're thinking Got a feeling that the boat we're on is sinking Like a fish out of the water Look up The sun is shining Got my toes in the sand on this island It's in the way you go about it You're too far away I'm already there Don't know what to say Don't know why you care One; here come the two to the three to the four Everybody asking me to play more Two, here come the three to the four to the five And I'm looking at your pretty green eyes Everybody in the club getting tipsy
6.
Let's take it back Back to where we started from I'll give you that You got my heart beating like a drum Up on the roof Staring at the clouds and we're never coming down I'm next to you Watch the stars come out I wanna stop the world and start a conversation with you Wanna spend some time Here's an invitation to you Hold on tight Here comes the hurricane Watching the satellite Fly in a plane Somewhere down in Mexico; never coming back again Sun on the beach Got my wayfarers on and the shells beneath my feet Look at the sky Singing oh my my We can watch all the cars drive by Maybe count every star in the sky We have it good Pretty little house in a perfect neighborhood I'm sleeping late Got the dog at my feet and the kids are all awake You're in my dream Walk along the river like Evangeline Then I wake up Wanna fill your cup
7.
Whispering 02:33
Everybody's looking at their phone All lit up but there's nobody home I don't really want to be alone Can you really fake reality If you're mad at her don't take it out on me I've been switching off my TV And I turn my radio on Cause I'm looking for that song Wanna hear her whispering to me On a beach that nobody knows Feel the sand in between our toes Your hair is perfect like a video Cold hands don't make a cold heart Understand you take it to the start Do we have to take it all apart And I hope they play that old song Yeah I know they'll play that old song At the disco everybody's dancing Except for me I'm better at complaining I'm just saying
8.
Oh be brave and be strong Cause the road you're traveling is long When all your strength is gone Keep walking Take my advice Leave my advice Just do the first things first and the little things right Be kind to each other Write to your mother Love who you want to Work like you're meant to Get up and do it again I have no doubt This is just a temporary breakdown You can expect delays You're in bad shape Gonna be better than your birthday Here come your parade Leave a candle in the window When the sun makes a shadow
9.
Morning 01:37
When I wake up in the morning And I see the sun shining Well you make it so easy When I see you're smiling Alright Everything is alright It's OK Nothing in my way Cross another river Climb another mountain One thing to consider All your problems Can't live without them
10.
I don't want you to be cold I'll give you my sweater I don't know what you've been told I'll make you feel better I want to Lay my Head down Beside You and dream all night I don't want to take your time If you don't want to give it I don't mind standing in line All will be forgiven We're walking downtown Watching the crowd All I want to do is Dream all night Next to you ... I'm all right Thanks to you Get on with your bad self It's bad for your good health To put it on a back shelf I don't really mind at all Keep rowing toward a waterfall I guess I missed a couple calls I don't want to spend my days Chasing after money All I need is all it takes to give you everything you wanted You're like sunlight Too bright for my eyes All I wanna do is Dream all night Next to you
