Jason Mraz- Who Needs Shelter


Good-day sunlight
I’d like to say how truly bright you are
You don’t know me but I know you
You’re my favorite star
Follow you I will so lets get moving

Who needs shelter when the mornings coming?
Absolutely there’s no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?
Not me, no. not anyone.

By your clock the cock rooster crows
Then off to work where everybody goes
Slow, but eventually they get there
Picking up the day shift back where all left off
Confined and pecking at relationships
You know it’s only a worthless piece of shit

Who needs shelter when the mornings coming?
Absolutely there’s no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?
Not me, no. not anyone.

I’d sleep it all away but the sun wont let me
I’d miss those lovely days of summer

Good-day sunlight
I’d like to say how truly bright you are
You don’t know me but I know you
You’re my favorite.

Jason Mraz- Too Much Food


You can say that I’m one curly fry in the box of the regular
Messing with the flavor oh the flavor that you savor
Saving me for last but you better not eat me at all
Living in a fast food bag making friends with the ketchup and salt
People say that I’m crazy for not moving on to better things
Instead I’m sitting around trash talking with the onion rings
But it’s much too soon to leave this easy life
Pass me the spoon. pass the analytical knife

Cause your about to get cut and get cut down
It’s all about the wordplay all about the sound in the tone of my voice
You gotta let me make my choice alone before my food gets cold
Better shut up or get shot down. it s all about the know how all just a matter of taste
Stop telling me the way I gotta play. too much food on my plate.

Believe it or not I super sized my sights on the surprise in the cereal box
My stomachs smaller than my eyes
So I went to see the doctor and he said turn your head and then cough
I didn’t listen to what he said instead I couldn’t wait to get off
He said I can have this but I cant have that
That I should keep wishing I was living the life of a cat because
I ain’t the one whose gonna be missing the feast
Just like you ain’t the one who seems to be calming the beast

Now your about to get cut and get cut down
It’s all about the wordplay all about the sound in the tone of my voice
You gotta let me make my choice alone before my food gets cold
Better shut up or get shot down. it s all about the know how all just a matter of taste
Stop telling me the way I gotta play. too much food on my plate.

Well if you are what you eat in my case I’ll be sweet so come and get some
I’m so over it.

Now your about to get cut and get cut down
It s all about the know how all just a matter of taste
Stop telling me the way I gotta play. too much food on my plate.
(get up and get some)
There’s too much food on my plate

Jason Mraz- Tonight, Not Again



The night.
She brushed her hands upon my flushed cheek
Smelled of childhood remnants of a dusty weeping willow
Clouds soothe, shredded by the calico
Were oh so vast and quick as I was on my own now.

This time like every other time I believe that I never find
Another sweet little girl with sequined sea foam eyes
Ocean lapping voice smile coy as the brightest quiet span of sky
And I’m all alone again tonight not again, not again, not again.

And don’t it feel allright. and don’t it feel so nice. lovely.

Still I’m unable to inhale all the riches
As I’m awkward as a wound on my bones
Still I’ve got cobblestone joints and plate glass points
As I’m all by myself tonight not again not againe

And don’t it feel allright. and don’t it feel so nice. lovely.

Well if you should nervously break down
When it’s time for the shakedown would you take it
It’s when you cry just a little but you laugh in the middle that you’ve made it
And don’t it feel allright. and don’t it feel so nice.
Lovely.

Say it again. lovely. so lovely. to do it again
Again. loving again. it’s coming again.
Lovely.

Jason Mraz- Sleep All Day



His after moan though cries oh no
He’s building up a shine but he take it slow
And he knows it time to make a change here and time to get away
And he knows it’s time for all the wrong reasons and time to end the pain
But he sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
Why don’t we?

She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord
Would he take it all back what they’ve done
No way he said take it, take it and don’t break it with your own two hands
That was my old man and he said
If all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it

Oh what a lovely day to have a slice of humble pie
Recalling of the while we used to drive and drive here and there
Going nowhere but for us, nowhere but for the two of us
And we knew it was time to take a chance here
And time to compromise our lives for awhile
And it was time for all the wrong reasons
But time is often on my side and I give it to you tonight
And we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again

As time goes by we get a little bit tired waking and baked another marlboro mile wide
It’s sending the boys on the run in the time in hot summer sun
To swim beneath or over outside as they’re reading between the lines
Then they remember the part in the hallmark card where they read about the dreams
And reaching for the stars to hold on a little bit closer to
And they knew it was time, time to take a chance here
Time to compromise our little lives for just a little while
And they knew it was time for all the wrong reasons
As time is often on my side and I give it to you, oh boy
And we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again

She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord
Would he take it all back what they’ve done
No way he said take it, take it and don’t break it with your own two hands
That was my old man and he said
If all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it

Jason Mraz- On Love, in Sadness


Oh love it’s a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
It’s not falsified to say that I found God so inevitably well,
It still exists pale and fine. I can’t dismiss
And I won’t resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and in the rain endure.
The rust and the rain are sins
And I’m in like flynn again

So go on place your order now cause some other time is right around the clock
You can stand in line. it finally begins just around the clock
You can have your pick if your stomach is sick whether you eat or not
And there is just one thing that I never forgot

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and in the rain so easy
These are the comforts that be

You see well I’m feeling lucky oh well, maybe that’s just me
You should be proud of me oh hell if you could only see
That we’re gonna grow on up to be, ah yes
We are thick as thieves

Oh love it’s a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
It’s not falsified to say that I found god
Inevitably, well it still exists pale and fine I can’t dismiss
And I won’t resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind and the rust and the rain endure
(the rust and the rain endure. I’m sure.)

I am insofar to know the measure of love isn’t loss
Love will never ever be insofar to know the measure of love isn’t loss
Love will never ever be lost on me.
Love will never ever be lost on me.

Jason Mraz- No Stopping Us


Would it take a bakers dozen to get my point to you?
Would it take a half a pound to roll a joint for you
Would it take some hailing mary’s so full of grace to get my sound to you
Will you help me break it down and get on thru

Down to the other side
Its easy of you only try
Don’t lie down on the job
Because once we hit the top there’s no stopping us

Should I address all my letters to the well to be
Should I say return to sender is just a well be done
Should I better not it so personally if all the good loving is never received
Baby if it was me well I wouldn’t think twice

No not i..
See it’s easy if you only try
So don’t lie down on the job
Because once we hit the top there’s no stopping us.

I will drive a thousand miles or I’ll meet you at the station
If only you would take a vacation from this thing you have created
I promise to make it worth your while

So c’mon try. baby wont you try
It’s easy if you do not run
I promise you you’ll have your fun
Because once we hit the top we’ve just begun

There’s no stopping us.

Jason Mraz- I'll Do Anything


Go make your next choice be your best choice
And if you’re looking for a boy with a voice, well baby I’m single
Are you in the mood for some dude, are you in the mood to be subdued
Or would you rather just mingle?
Let’s get set then to go then and let us jet set we’ll be like the jetsons
You can be jane my wife. should I marry jane tonight?

I would if I could. I’d do most anything spontaneously.

Or we can keep chilling like ice cream filling
We can cool in the gang if you’d rather hang
Ain’t no thing. I can be lacubrious with you.
I got no ifs ands ors no wits or what’s about it
But this place is getting crowded and my house is two blocks away
Or maybe closer

I would if I could. I’d do most anything spontaneously.
You know I would, if I could. I’ll do anything spontaneously.

If you could be nimble, you’d have it simple just like me.
So go on and try it, do not deny yourself your freedom.

So step on up to the plate get a date with mraz
See you better act fast because supplies they never
Now did you knowe this is limited time offer
So go make your mind up before our times up
You better start winding it up because the party’s almost over
(and if you should know girl, go a little bit lower now)

See how I would, if I could. I’d do most anything spontaneously.
You know I would, and I can prove it. I’ll do anything spontaneously.
