Happy Familes
I woke up today with you
I don’t want to wake you
I treasure your silence and your peace
The early morning TV is telling me a god was lost
But I’ve found the heart in me
I have my tea and breathe
This is peace
This is just you and me
Like I always dreamt it could be
Out of the sky
I found my what and why
Out of the sky
I found my what and why
Let’s play Happy Families,
Just you and me
Let’s make it better than just playing pretend
‘Cause I love you so much,
I don’t want this to end
Let’s play Happy Families
Just you and me
When you talk to me
I can listen for days
So softly
With the miles rushing away,
I stare out over the waves
The beach is a place where dreamers go to wake up beautiful
Yeah, I’m a dreamer, you can tell from my eyes
Now let’s go back to the Source,
I was in the kid in the tennis shorts,
Always hanging out on street corners
With idle eyes and an assassin’s tongue
I always liked to laugh, I just didn’t know about love
Now, you were the one with the deep, serious pride
You had that cool car, you had that chain with golden charms dancing
But is was the good stuff inside
The stuff inside you
The good stuff that made me meet you past midnight
The good stuff that seduced me
My heart was soaked in the night Sun,
Where romance is a real thing not just someone’s talk
Well, yes, I played coy, very shy
But I gave you my number; you gave me your hand
And then you gave me your heart
It was so hot and so full
I got burnt by the beauty
I got lost in the depths
As we walked down thru the Park in the ice of Winter,
And I held you so near because I could feel people looking
And they were judging me
And they were judging you
But it didn’t matter to me,
It didn’t mean a thing to my heart
So our love was bold
Bold and brave
Fair and gracious we toured the shipwrecks,
Laughed at things so tragic I could write poems forever and forever
Together we knelt by the same altars
Together we grew up and wore rings and danced and smoked and sung
Just like me, you love a lullaby
Will we ever wake up?
Out of the sky
I found my what and why
We got our tattoos together,
We both got ***** by the same guy
I love you so much,
Please hold me while I sleep
Please don’t make me lie,
Because I’m so damn tired
I need a shoulder to cry on
I need a person who helps me out of myself
I searched for peace
Found it when my ship broke down
I was cast far away from shore
I was guided in by a strange light
Out of the sky
I found my what and why
Out of the sky
I found my what and why
Let’s play Happy Families,
Just you and me
You can be the nurse, and I’ll be the victim
You can be the Goddess, and I’ll be the pilgrim
We can go in search of the Holy Grail
We can go in search of Home
Let’s play Happy Families,
Just you and me
Let’s make it better than just playing pretend
‘Cause I love you so much
I don’t want this to end
Let’s make the lullaby true,
I love you so much
Just so you know
I tell you
Just so you know
‘Cause I want you to find out
It’s a happy ending
It’s a Ferris Wheel love
It spins and spins,
Lighting up all our faces
You can see the children are so happy,
I’m happy too
It’s a true good thing
That much I know
And don’t walk,
Please don’t walk away
Because it’s a true good thing
Because my heart knows what and why
Out of the sky
The Sun God delivered me a sign
Out of the sky
Fell a fellow soul
And I try to make it all roses where you land,
So please forgive any thorns
I’ve lived a life where you can’t avoid a few jagged edges,
But is that really so uncommon?
My heart is raining with flowers
I don’t feel like the bad guy anymore
The ocean is alight with burning ships,
I’m driving thru the night smiling
I’m almost flying
We both gave our hearts,
We got a love song and we got a true thing
Yeah, it’s a true good thing
That much I know,
I don’t want to wake you
You look so much at peace
I wish you every happiness, and I give you a harbor to come Home to.
