[bodytext] => 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.
