I wanna take the bus today
And read a book along the way
And never mind the place I’m going to
That’s the thing I wanna do

Take you on the ride
Leave my Blackberry aside
You wanna watch a moving picture show?
That’s fine.
Let’s go
We’ll leave
The atmosphere below

And stay
Up where it’s careless and free
Until
‘Til we get back down to earth
Play
Like it was our destiny
Until
‘Til we get back down to earth

Back where the sky’s a standard blue
They’re always asking what you do
You never got the time to take it slow
Always got some place to go
Round it’s circle roads
Through it’s bends and folds
I’d rather watch the moonbeams in the sky
This clear
July

We’ll leave

And send them our goodbye

And stay
Up where it’s careless and free
Until
‘Til we get back down to earth
Play
Like it was our destiny
Until
‘Til we get back down to earth

Stay up where it’s carless and free
Until
‘Til we get back down to earth
Play
Like it was our destiny
Until
‘Til we get back down to earth
Back down to earth
Back down to eeeeeeeeaaaaaaarrrrrrrrttttth

All this time
I've been always strong
But I've never been that happy
As far as I could tell
With all this pain
I've waited so long
Cause no one made me happy
I guess it's just as well
Cause since I've found you
And I've been around you
You lift me up
with everything you say
And everything that you do
So I'll always
Belong
To you

All this time
You've always been here
But I could never see you
To know that you were near
These blind two eyes
Too busy to see
This magic world I'm fording
right in front of me
But now I've found you
Well I was bound to
Like summertime was
bound to find the spring
And skies were bound to be blue
Now I'll always
Belong
Never
Go Wrong
No
If I always
Belong
To you

Faster than a train could be
So glad that you came to me
Oooh
Oooh I like you

Over than I’m out gain
What’s this all about again?
Oooh
What’ll I do?

Where I’m floating on the moon
They said I’ll be back soon
But I won’t come back ‘til time is over oooh

All based on technology
Frameworks and psychology oooh
Something like you
Take off takes a little while
So that you’ll get there in style oooh
Satellite blue

Then you’re floating on the moon
We’ll be there soon
And we won’t come back til time is over oooh

Do do do do do do do do do

Then you’re floating on the moon
We’ll be there soon
But I won’t come back ‘til time is over
And I won’t come back ‘til time is over
And we won’t come back ‘til time is over
Oooooooh

Don’t you ever think about the past?
First kiss on a summer night when you thought it would last
Days down by the ocean taking it slow
Well if you’re by the Promenade then you really must go

On the Ferris Wheel
Everything is fine today
And the sky is clear
There’s nothing in your way

Don’t you ever cancel all your plans?
To sit on top of the world just chill holding time in your hands?
Hey you, where you running to?
Why you hiding away?

Now baby stop where you are
There’s something we should do
Today
Today

Let’s take the Ferris Wheel
Everything is fine today
And the sky is clear
There’s nothing in your way
On the Ferris Wheel
We could take our time today
I know how you feel
You wouldn’t have to say
You wouldn’t have to say

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

I know how you feel
You wouldn’t have to say
You wouldn’t have to say

There are windows
To help you find the way
So you can look back in
To yesterday

Then we’d begin to see
Just how beautiful our lives can be

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

There are windows
Inside your mind
But you’d have to leave
The world behind
Then we’d begin to see
Just how beautiful
Our love can be

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ooooooooooh

We could speak of dreams
Cause nothing’s as it seems
We might as well
Let go
(might as well let go)
But I’d rather spend my time
To watch you grow
Cause there’s so much out there
We could never know

We had so much time
Watched it go by
Stare into space
And dream of the sky
Well I’ll be holding your hand
When I’m on my own
I’m walking with you
But I’m walking alone

It’s a strange situation that I’m going through
I feel so high every time I take a look
Could you get out of my brain?
Because you drive me insane
And nobody sees
You’re the one that makes my highs and lows
Nobody knows

Where would I go?
If I lose you
What would I do?
How would I know if I lost you?
If you won’t let me through

You used to play with my reality
When you were holding my hand
Walking with me
We’d pretend out time would never end
And I watched you driving your car
Look at you
You act just like a superstar a dream come true
I hope you know
I could never let you go

Cause where would I go if I lose you?
What would I do?
How would I know if I lost you?
If you won’t let me through

We had so much fun
Watched it go by
Stare into space
And dream of the sky
Well I’ll be holding your hand
When I’m on my own
I’m walking with you
But I’m walking alone

Ooh ooh
Ooh oh oh oh
Oooh oh oh oh oh oh
He took the wrong direction oh
Under the purple pink sky
Just like a video set/said
He’s just a video guy
My brother needs protection oh
He says he’s ready to feel
But something doesn’t seem right
Something doesn’t seem real

Like a videogame

I’m on my way to find him now
Through fortress of flames
He’s saying all the right words
And dropping all the right names
I really need to reach him now
To make him understand
It’s just a video show
In a video land

Like a videogame

He’s possessed through all the levels here
Drawn water from the stone
Got every number he needs
On his cellular phone
He takes me to the mirror now
But oh what do you see
It’s just a video girl
It’ just a video me

(Like a videogame)
Yeah, it’s all in how you play this
(Like a videogame)
I just really have to say this
(Like a videogame)
It’s like we’re all inside the same
(Like a videogame)
Bio digi funky videogame

Like a videogame

We run around the circles now
In this emergency
Taking care of business
Never mind what is this?
Trying to make it through
Don’t know what to do
Making sense of me and you

But the world gets so much older now
And people start to see
That we’re all connected
Life must be respected

We open up our eyes
Make some compromise
Situate and socialize

Cause baby we’ve arrived
On a higher plane
But without love
What you really gain?
I know it takes time
And a little pain
But if that’s how it’s gotta be yeah
So be it

Cause we could learn a lot
And we let it show
But without love
What you really know?
I know it take times
And time can take it slow
But if that’s how it’s gotta be yeah
So be it

You see we run around in circles now
They tell me that’s the deal
To make my contribution
To modern evolution
To politic and plan
And try to understand
To gather everything I can

But I get so much older now
See planets start to move
Now time is moving faster
What is it I’m after
In struggle and in war
In trying to get more
It’s love that we’ve been looking for

Cause baby we’ve arrived
Now what you think we’d do’?
But without love
How will we make it through?
I know it takes time
And time keeps taking you
But if that’s how it’s gotta be yeah
So be it

Cause we could learn a lot
And we let it show
But without love
What you really know?
I know it take times
And time can take it slow
But if that’s how it’s gotta be yeah
So be it

Cause without love
What would I do?
Spending up my time with you
What a waste of time that would be

Without love
Why would I try?
To catch the sunlight in the sky
It’s why the sun feels so good to me

Cause without love
I’d miss it
The long emails
The fairytales
The crawling in
The calling in
The falling in but we
We got love

Oooh it’s what inside go and shine that light
So the whole world can see this love

You made time stand still like a picture in a frame
And when the moments pass they go so fast but we could feel the same
You made time stand still when you held me in your arms
A sweet embrace I can’t replace with all the charms
In the world

And I ask myself as night turns into day
Would the world just keep on spinning if you went away?
And I ask myself as light turns into dark
Would the world just keep on spinning if my heart
Fell apart?

You made time stand still like a picture in a frame
And when the moments pass they go fast but we could feel the same
You made time stand still when you held me in your arms
A sweet embrace I can’t replace with all the charms
In the world

And I ask myself as night turns into day
Would the world just keep on spinning if you went away
And I ask myself as light turns into dark
Would the world just keep on spinning if my heart
Fell apart?

And I ask myself as day turns into night
Why you’re the only one that makes the moonlight shine this bright
And I feel you in the sun and in the breeze
I see you in the sky and in the trees

Keeps the stars from falling down
Makes the world go spinning round and round
Paints the light and plays the sound
Makes the world go spinning round and round
Keep the stars from falling down
Makes the world go spinning round and round

All is new
When love passes through
The air so clear
The sky so blue
We belong we belong on the page
(oh we could sing about it)
On the page
(oh we could write about it)

Nothing’s wrong when love comes along
When all the sounds become a song
We belong
We belong
On the stage
On the stage
We could start a show
We could break this cage

What will the future bring
How can we make it clear
Oh how/while the day it sings knowing that you were near
When baby I’m in love with you is all that I need to hear
Maybe that’s all there is

Sunny side of the street
Making it through the snow
What is it
What is it
Now
(oh we could dream about it)
Now
(oh we could dream about it)

Look at the moment now
(what would stay)
Promised that it would stay
(has gone away)
Look at the edges now
Most of it’s gone away
(what a strange design)
Can we keep it on a screen?
Can we watch it on replay?
(to call a day)
Or is that all there is?

(we belong)
Sunny side of the street making it through the snow
(we belong)
Where can those memories go now?
(in a frame)
Oh we could sing about it
(in a frame)
Oh we could write about it
(now)
Oh we could dance about it
(now)
Let’s make a show about it

Nothing’s wrong when love come along
When all the sounds become a song
We belong
We belong
On the stage
(oh we could dream about it)
On the stage
(oh we could dance about it)
We could start a show
(oh we could dream about it)
We could break this cage
(oh we make a song about it)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I would be good for you
Don’t you believe me
I’d be the type of girl got you feeling high
You wouldn’t wanna pass it by
But see I only wanna stay if you’ll stay around
I know you like the way that I break it down
Yeah
Move with me baby together we’re bound
To the physical

I would make room for you
If you receive me
We’d be the hottest when we come walking in
Got everybody asking then
So hurry come hurry don’t be shy
You wouldn’t wanna pass it by
Hurry come hurry come
Hurry then
I’m knocking won’t you let me in

I only wanna break this illusion down
I only wanna make this confusion grounded
In truths we know and studies we’ve found
Things become physical

I know you’d like to think that I’m choosing you
But always try to act like I’m using you
Well
Move with me baby
You use me to
When things become physical

You like that babe? Yeah?
You like that babe?

I would make room for you
Inside this theatre
We have
Broken dreams playing every night
I wonder if it makes it right
So easy come easy come we believe
We’re giving then and we receive
So easy come easy come easily
I want to feel you next to me

I only wanna break this illusion down
I only wanna make this confusion grounded
In truths we know and studies we’ve found
Things become physical

I know you’d like to think that I’m choosing you
But always try to act like I’m using you
Well
Move with me baby
You use me to
When things become physical

In a world like this
It’s so easy to be
In a world like this
It’s so easy

You could be my boyfriend
In a world like this
Na na na na na na
Maybe?
Na na na na na it’s
So easy to be
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
He’s my boyfriend
Have you seen my boyfriend?

Yesterday told me
It told me
That things never change
Nuh uh
Said no use in reaching
For something
Out of your range

But days they fly on time gone by
And they fade away
Like the pink and purple sky
Between night and day

But when did it all
Appear in view
What was hazy now is clear
And what was distant now is near
Uh huh

And maybe if I
Just stay with you
They’ll be bright purple skies

But where do they go
All those skies made of blue
And what used to matter
What seemed
Constant and true
But yeah they fly on days gone by
And what used to be
All along the changing ride
That brought you to me

Yeah

But when did it all
Appear in view
What was hazy now is clear
And what was distant now is here
Uh huh
And maybe if I
Just stay with you
They’ll be bright purple skies
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm

Ahhhhhhhh

(always purple skies)
(always purple skies)

But when did it all
Appear in view
What was hazy now is clear
And what was distant now is here
Uh huh
And maybe if I
Just stay with you
They’ll be bright purple skies
They’ll be bright purple skies
They’ll be bright
They’ll be
They’ll be bright purple skies

come along take a ride
you’ve got starlight inside
wish upon it
write your words to the page
all the world is your stage
if you want it
there’s a show to be seen
there’s a bright silver screen
with you on it
so much starlight in you
you know just what to do
if you want it
oooooh oooh
ahhhh ahhhhh
oooooh oooh
ahhhh ahhhhh
now the stars in the sky
may try hard to deny
what they’re missing
but they’ll tell you it’s true
that they wish upon you
if you’ll listen
oh there’s no need to hide all that starlight inside
wish upon it
cause the glow that they do is the glow that’s in you if want it
sometimes time can take too long
sometimes distance is too far
some might look into the sky
so they can wish upon a star
they look to stars
to find their way
in the darkness of the night
but what’s in stars is what’s in you
so you just wish upon your light
ooooh oooh
ahhh ahhhh
oooooh oooooh
ahhhhh ahhhhh
