Karate Kid...

As much as I could, as much as I tried
I just couldn't seem to find the light
The trees for the wood, the wars left and right
Umbrellas with the rain in
I turn on the news, the news has turned off
All the people that the world forgot
The blues get the blues, but the view from the top
Is the ocean in a drop
Whatever happens to
Everything that we go through?
I see you got your new tattoo
I didn't know someone felt that way too
Maybe we could share the rain
Maybe we could dance again
Maybe we could make the sky turn blue
Oh, Daniel knows how to make a dream
How to make a dream come true
Oh, Daniel, could I be the one for you?
Whatever happens to
Everything that we go through?
I see you got your new tattoo
I didn't know someone felt that way too
Maybe we could dance again
Maybe we could share the pain
Maybe we could make the sky turn blue
Oh, Daniel knows how to make a dream
How to make a dream come true
Oh, Daniel, could I be the one for you?

Spoiler Alert! MacArthur Park from Beetlejuice^2


Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!

There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
Oh, after all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!

Oh no
No
Oh no!

White Balloons

I'm holding on to white balloons, up against a sky of doom
Tell me you see them
'Cause what's inside of me is invisible to most
Even in clear view

I'm sending out a signal to the possibility of you
'Cause right at this moment
I know you are connected to a part of me
That I don't even know myself

The changes in me are likely to be like the weather
Stormy and clear, strength into fear bound together

But I'll break my silence
If I believe that you and me could ever be more than just
What's been behind us
I tried and left, they came and went
I got rejected out again
But no one believes me
I've worn a hundred faces
Of the character replacements and now
Nobody sees me

The changes in me are likely to be like the weather
Cloudy at best

Angels, lift me
Are you, with me
I'm holding on to you like I'm holding on to white balloons

Carry me away, I hope that you don't break

Angels, lift me
Are you, with me
I'm holding on to you like I'm holding on to white balloons

Carry me away, I hope that you don't break

I hope that you don't break, yeah, don't break

'Cause what's inside of me is invisible to most
Even in clear view
