Mr. Sir

LYRICS:::
I wear my Birks ‘round the house ‘cause they feel good on my feet
One step out the door and I’m out, walking down the street
I don’t feel alone cause I smile at everyone I meet
My headphones on, I’m rocking out, stepping on every beat
Mr. Sir is such a kid, the nicest kid in town
He makes friends and passes joy to everyone around
If you’re feeling down just ask yourself, “what would he say?”
If Mr. Sir were here he’d brighten up your day
So try to be like him and pass it on ahead
It’s possible someone needs to hear just what you said
Mr. Sir is such a kid, the nicest kid in town
He makes friends and passes joy to everyone around
Mr. Sir is such a kid
Mr. Sir is such a kid, oh
Mr. Sir is such a kid, the nicest kid in town

(This Song Is) Slow
07:12
|

Slow, this song is slow
But it has a glow
That reminds me of snow, oh-h
Hey, I'll stay away,
Because you may
Have trouble with the fray
I bet you think that
This song is slow, and
Where it goes, you may not know, until it happens,
Ooh
Slow down, slow down baby
Shirt, that's a really nice shirt
It would look a lot worse
If you threw it in the dirt, oh-h
And, if you trip and land
Maybe break your hand
And have to start a band, oh-h
I bet you think that
(in addition to the fact that this song is really slow)
We're not the right match
But where we'd go, you may not know, until it happens,
Ooh
Slow down, slow down baby
Slow down, slow down baby
Slow down, slow down baby
Do you remember who
Saved you at the zoo
And said "I do,
have a really nice shirt, ooh,
a really nice shirt"?

Something New
05:28
|

It’s been ages, so many pages
I’ve been turning over since you left
There’s still these white-hot coals of memories
Burning holes inside my chest
And I hate it, that even lately
You’ve been popping up inside my head
There must be something out here that can set me free
But I haven’t found it yet
Hard for me to see, the reasons why
But I know I gotta bleed, until I’m dry
Yeah all I really need is a little time, a little time
Heart sinks to my feet, and I start to cry
But we all gotta feel, so I let it ride
Yeah all I really need is a little time, little time
Ain’t the first time nor the last time
So I guess I know it’s true
That the next time that you see me, I’ll probably be
Running from something new
Running from something new
That’s just the way I do
Caught in a loop, I can’t seem to break myself through
I’m running from something new
Don’t like it, but it’s the truth
I’m trying to find what to do
My mind is all I got left to lose
Yeah, yeah
All I’ve got left to lose
Running from something new
Yeah yeah, no
I remember, last December
Just how good you were to me
Like a highlight reel of our memories that keeps playing on repeat
When it’s tender, hard to measure
How much more it’s gonna be
I’ll admit I know I got a tendency, to suffer longer than I need
Hard for me to see, the reasons why
But I know I gotta breathe, and shut my eyes
Yeah all I really need is a little time, and to look inside
I focus on the lows, deep inside my mind
‘Cause I know that if I don’t, I’ll be fucking blind
Yeah all I really need is a little time, little time
Ain’t the first time nor the last time
So I guess I know it’s true
That the next time that you see me, I’ll probably be
Running from something new
Running from something new
That’s just the way I do
Caught in a loop, I cannot seem to, cannot seem to break through (can’t seem to break myself through, I’m)
Running from something new
Don’t like it, but it’s the truth
I’m trying to find what to do
My mind is all I got left to lose
Yeah, yeah
All I’ve got left to lose
Running from something new
Yeah, yeah
Oh
Something’s got to change
Can’t go on feeling this way
One day at a time
Getting out of my mind
‘Til I feel okay
Yeah, Woah
Running from something new
Don’t like but it’s the truth
Caught in a loop, I
Cannot seem to, cannot seem to break through
Running from something new
Don’t like it, but it’s the truth
I’m trying to find what to do
My mind is all I got left to lose
Yeah, yeah
All I’ve got left to lose
Oh
Running from something new
Yeah, yeah

I've Really Missed
04:12
|
|||
Taking roadtrips in the car
Destination near or far
And all the world is passing me by
I'm just hoping I can make it on time
Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street
Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street
Really miss the hippies trying to sell me weed,
Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street
Pulling up into the lot
Pop-top showing us to the spot
And all I want is one tye-dye
And a grilled cheese with bacon in every bite
Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street
Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street
I'm sorry sir, don't have no scissors for your sheet
Oh, I've Really Missed Shakedown Street
(rhodes solo for the ages)
In the backseat moving slow
Brain still buzzing from the show
And I might be ready to get some sleep, but I,
I already miss Shakedown Street
Ooh,
oh-h
Nothing's shaking on Shakedown Street,
Used to be the heart of town...........

Best Of Me
05:50
|
|||
I'll bet you think you were the one
Who got away and I was done
But what you've yet to see
You didn't get the best of me
I may have made a few mistakes
Believe me, there was growing pains
When there was nothing left to say
You just got up and walked away
You gave up too soon to see
You didn't get the best of me
If only you could know me now
You'd think to yourself and wonder how
I could have changed so much
For the good
Our love was due to run it's course
Try not to feel or show remorse
I don't really care if we ever meet (Again, ah-h)
You didn't get the best of me
You didn't get the best of me
You didn't get, you didn't get the best of me

Father's Day
06:33
|
|||
I had a dream last night
When I awoke I saw myself in a different light
Saw a child in pain
Barren-faced in a family picture frame
Bleeding eyes, deep inside, burning through the back of my skull
Bleeding thighs, keep in mind, know that I've been there before
The cycle repeats
How can I say, "it's not the world you need to be afraid of"
"It's your father and the very tissue that you're made of"
Oh
"Your own flesh and blood"
How could I ever trust myself to be the one
To be there for a son, or daughter, or whatever you choose
I just hope that you don't see through my ruse,
'Cause I've got more than just a few screws loose
So I close my eyes
Took a moment to reflect back on my life
Cause I still got time
We all got to grow, and we don't stop before we die
Take a breath, second-guess, wouldn't be the first time I've grown
Self-reflect, just accept, there are always things that I won't know
It's not over yet for me
How can I say "there's no shame in having something you're afraid of"?
And "it shows strength to accept the mess you're made of"?
Your own flesh and blood, and someday I'll trust myself to be the one,
to be there for a son, or daughter, or whatever you choose
But I know that I don't need no fucking rules
There's no shame in showing face, instead of hiding it away,
All this lying stops today, that's the truth
It'll be alright
I'm taking my time
It'll be alright
I'm taking my time
It'll be alright
I'm taking my time
It'll be alright
I'm taking my time
