Lyrics:

I know it’s time for you to go; you’ve got some other place to be
You should know that without your warmth I will always be lonely
You brought me so much time; you brought me so much life
To be lived and spent and used; oh how I’ve tried

June 21, our story has begun; I’ve waited all year for you to get back here
For a month or three, it’s just you and me; and you are the only thing I’ll ever need

Her name is summer, oh how I love her
She brings me the freedom to be who I please
As the days grow hotter I’ll dive into the water
I hope I never wake up from this dream

Sunshine and a hopeful wish, for life to stay like this
But I know it’s a dream and you cannot just stay here for me
Leaves change and start to fall, you’ve stayed here for too long
But I know when you go I’ll be alone and I always feel so cold

When autumn starts, I will fall apart; when winter calls, I’ll hide behind my walls
And pray for rain, as I call your name; because spring is just a sign you’re coming again

Her name is summer, oh how I love her
She brings me the freedom to be who I please
As the days grow hotter I’ll dive into the water
I hope I never wake up from this dream

I wish I could chase you around the world as you go
But if we were always together I wouldn’t love you so

Her name is summer, oh how I love her
She brings me the freedom to be who I please
As the days grow longer my heart beats stronger
I hope I never wake up from this dream

Through June and July, in the sun I lie; these are the best days of my life
I’ll always remember, August and September, forever and ever

 

 

Lyrics:

Fight! I’ll push you aside to be first in line, let’s
Fight! Because your decline, your demise is my
Rise; don’t look surprised, it’s a cutthroat life and we’re here to
Fight! Right?

Fight! Say goodbye, to playing nice, prepare for
Night! Hone your knife, stoke your spite, set your torch
Alight; no hero in sight, no angel in white, so take what’s yours
Tonight; isn’t that your right?

When will we have our fill, and be still?
There’s a peaceful way to live if we will
Forget; kill or be killed
Find a way to be fulfilled and set things right
Do you and I, do we have to fight?

Fight! Gotta get what’s mine, gotta get my time, in the
Limelight; gotta claim my prize, gotta hit my high and you can pay the
Price; when I want more, I take yours cuz might is
Right – right?

Fight! Losers fall, winner take all and that’s just
Life! It isn’t fair, no one cares, it’s a waking
Nightmare; trapped in the ring but the bell won’t ring, just
Fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting

Can we rise above the thrill, and be still?
There’s a peaceful way to live if we will
Forget; kill or be killed
Find a way to be fulfilled and set things right
Do you and I, do we have to fight?

Still, be still
There’s a peaceful way to live if we will
Forget; kill or be killed
Find a way to be fulfilled and set things right
Do you and I, do we have to fight?

 

Lyrics:

I fell for a name
I heard it once and I have never been the same
It was so compelling, I examined the spelling
Each letter felt like a spell
It rang my soul like a bell
So what was that name? Well,
I simply cannot tell

It’s a beautiful name I cannot use
If I say it once, I’ll be consumed
A beautiful name I cannot say
If I say it once I’ll say it

Again, and again so instead I refrain, I never say
The words I long to put into play
I fell for the spell of your name

It’s kinda hard to explain
That name upon a page makes art of the written word
That name, that sound, is like no other, ever heard
I only ever spoke it once, I was afraid I’d be possessed
I confess, I became obsessed, your name has left me helpless

It’s a beautiful name, but if I say it once more
I’ll just get lost in the encore
A beautiful name I cannot speak
If I say it once, I’ll just

Repeat and repeat, until all I can pronounce is the sound
Of your refrain
I fell for the spell of your name

It’s a beautiful name, I cannot utter
If I say it once, I’ll say no other
A beautiful name I cannot tell
If I say it once, I’ll be compelled

To say it again
So instead I refrain, I never say
The words I long to put in to play
I fell for the spell of your name
I fell for the spell of your name
I fell for the spell of your name

 

Lyrics:

Maybe you could like me
Maybe you could follow me
You could be my fan
And I’d be delighted to be your music man

I know I sound so hollow
But how about a like and follow
I swallow my pride as I spiral
Desperately hoping you can help me go viral

You could leave comment
Tell me what this song meant to you
Please don’t be hateful I’ll be grateful
If you can find a way to say something kind

I know I sound so hollow
But how about a like and follow
I swallow my pride as I spiral
Desperately hoping you can help me go viral
Don’t let me see that eye roll

Tell me do you like me now
Can you celebrate a sell out
If so, go spread word of my arrival
You could be the one to make me go viral

Subscribe
And enjoy the show
I’m here for your entertainment
Too late to quarantine me there can be no containment

You know my vibe is contagious
Outrageous
Vital and viable
It’s verifiable
I vie for visibly vibrant and vividly

Viral, viral, viral
I will try but now it’s up to you
If I go viral
