Yadatalk 04:10
Oh, you can say what you are, what you are now. Yeah you can, but I ought to let you know everything's still, from where you were, somewhere holding on to you. Oh you can say, "It's all so far gone now, I'll be just fine, I can hold mine and I'm headed where I'm headed, and I'm headed, and I'm headed toward what the words stand for." Hey go again, to talk on its own world got its own code coated on Hey yadatalk it talks like talk tickin' I don't wanna stop, stop stickin' on Heyla, Heyla Hey go again, to talk on its own world got its own code coat Heyla, Heyla, Heyla Oh, you can say, "It's all in the past now, I don't need it I'll be just fine, I can hold mine and I'm headed where I'm headed, and I'm headed, and I'm headed toward what the words stand for." Hey go again, to talk on its own world got its own code coated on Hey yadatalk it talks like talk tickin' I don't wanna stop, stop stickin' on Heyla, Heyla Hey go again, to talk on its own world got its own code coat Heyla, Heyla, Heyla, Heyla. The sound behind the chord keeps me knowing I'm not alone on my own tonight holding on to you.

He Can Too 02:44
He can move just like the way she move. She can groove and he can too. He can move just like the way she move, and he's thinking I hope you want me, cause I want you. Well she raise heads like a snake charmer he's collecting eggs like a chicken farmer you know he wouldn't even let a fly harm her, he protect her house, under armour. I guess it's karma, cause he adore her, she ain't gotta watch her figure cause he watch it for her. Don't know about a dime, she at least a quarter. He's getting her conduct all up and disordered. Babe it's true, I'm not standing next to you cause there's no where else to stand. It's just what I want to do. He can move just like the way she move. She can groove and he can too. He can move just like the way she move, and he's thinking I hope you want me, cause I want you. He's got his hand on the corner of her hip and his mouth on the corner of her lip and the rhythm of the bass in the corner of the dip to floor of the place and grip on his face and sweat she can taste, slips down from his neck to his waist. She follows the drip down his spine, swallow the sunshine, the beat drops she hops back on his waistline. Yeah it's true, I'm not standing next to you cause there's no where else to stand. It's just what I want. He can move just like the way she move. She can groove and she can too. He can move just like the way she move, and he's thinking I hope you want me, cause I want you. He can move just like the way she move. He can groove and he can too. She can move just like the way he move, and she's thinking I hope you want me, cause I want you.

Go now, be free of me. Go now, be free of me. Go now, be free of me denying my capacity to love as I have said I could. What a lovely girl you are. What a lovely girl. What a lovely girl you are. What a lovely girl.

She Said Boy 04:38
And it's a cold, cold room when there's no room for love. And it's a cold, cold room till my babe she come. Yes it's a cold, cold room till my babe she come, coming to hold up my head. (hold my head with love) Full with love. Said she fill up this whole damn room full with love. Everything she do and every way she move got me feeling like love. With love, she calls and says, and on and on and on and on and on, just love and love and love and love and love. That'll ever know. She said when you fill yourself with love there's no room for hate. She said fill yourself with love, my friend.

Ever since last summer I've been feeling closer to the Earth again, animals, water, fire, and air. All because you've been there. And it's been a long summer, now I'm back to hold you in my arms again, hold your head and whisper in your ear. All the things you want to hear. And it's been a long summer, now I see there's some place that I need to go, and you can show me where I've ought to start. So hold my hand, I'll hold your heart. Well this is the last summer, I'll be wasting time without you and all of the animals, water, fire, and Earth. Cause now I know the time you're worth. How perfect fall the cards when all you need is me and love and all I need is love and you. It's all because you've been there.

Held 04:57
I wanna know right now if you ever gonna go. I don't know where yet. I wanna know what's in your head. I wanna know right now if you ever gonna go. I don't know where yet. I wanna know which way you're headed and call the gate to hold you there. And I will hold you. I know you'll go, I'm sure, but from me or where you were. I wanna know right now if you ever gonna go. I don't know where yet. I wanna get back in your head to feel the air that held you there. I'll hold you again. I'll hold you again. I'll hold you again. And I will hold you.

I go. I've been known to hold you as a statue in my head, picking at the porcelain with needless to be said, over and over again. I've stuck on sticking to the immediate past, always taking one step forward and one step back, Speaking at the porcelain, it's chipping at the cracks, but holding on for the hope of making it last, over and over again. I go, and I go, cause I've been picking all over my head for you. I fear it's over now. I can hear the earth wishing in the wind, cause I've been tripping all over my head for you. I feel it's over now, for now.

Who's been watching the way my eyes move in sleep. Who's been watching me in my sleep. Following the fall down. Hold on, be well, meanwhile we'll ring on.

I know you thought my wall looked stupid like this, and now you're gone. I know you thought my hair looked stupid like this, and now you're gone. I know you thought that blue just wasn't my color, and now you're gone. So I don't want to know, if you think my hair looks stupid now. I know you thought that blue just wasn't my color, but now you're gone, so.
