Prelude
03:55
|

Lookin' around I found myself
Finding myself unfound
And so I turned right to myself
Sayin' "Hey, why don't you find your way out?"
The one thing you mustn't
Know is to know you knew it all
So go on lookin' for it
But just know you've had it all along
[CHORUS]
I thought I knew I thought I was in the know
But you can't know, I think, until you forget it
All that you do is also all that you don't
You won't hold a thing unless you just let it go
Say, did you see you're everywhere -
You're just not here at all?
We'd play hide and seek, but it might be a cheat
If you're no different from the wall!
To play the game is that to seek is to be found
Sometimes lookin' in is just the same as lookin' out
There is a place I like to go, I go there all the time
Maybe I could take you there if you'd pay me no mind
Oh, what a dream, this thing I'm seein'!
Spin the wheel, make it go round and round and round
I go around and round and round
And just like everything, when I go up I'm comin' down
And gettin' in is gettin' out
Let's go again, I go around, round and round and…
[CHORUS]
I think I knew, I think I've known it this whole time
But maybe, you know, it's somethin' I guessed at
It's one in the same though, if you are so inclined
You won't hold a thing unless you just let it.... go!

Suit Yourself
04:10
|

Did you wanna be a doctor?
Well, here’s your stethoscope
Did you wanna be a firefighter?
Fightin’ fires and smoke
Did you wanna be a surgeon?
Go on and cut me up
Did you wanna be a rock star?
Well, here’s your microphone
You know that you can do whatever you like
Cause babe, this ain’t that long of a ride
Don’t you know gotta
Suit, suit, suit, baby, suit yourself
Ya gotta
Suit, suit, suit, baby, suit yourself
Did you wanna be a taxman?
Well, stay away from me
Did you wanna be a jazz cat?
See you on Cornelia Street
Did you wanna be nothin’, no nothin’ nobody at all?
Did you wanna be exceptional?
Baby, you already are
Did you wanna be sexy?
Ooh, it don’t take much
Did you wanna call me baby?
Cause I could fall in love with you
Did you wanna be a guru?
You better find yourself
Did you wanna be the president?
Cause we could use the help
Don’t you gotta do whatever you like
Cause babe, this ain’t that long of a ride
Don’t you know gotta do it ain’t no wrong or right
They’re always sayin’ that we just got tonight
Are you lyin' there in bed, dreamin' dreams up in your head?
I'm tellin' you, don't second guess - go make a mess!
You really shouldn't try to fight it - take the plunge there's nothing like it!
Tomorrow is no guarantee, so go on, love, set yourself free!

Just A Little
02:51
|

Was it just a little too on the nose
when you found you out, as the story goes
Did you think you could get away
with a little less tongue in cheek?
Didn’t you know life would find a way
to greet you with a nod and a wink
Was it just a little too spic’ and span
when you found out just that that’s the way that you am
Did you think you had to stay at home and cry instead of laugh?
Didn’t you know life would fill your cup
all the way up, or at least half?
Was it just a little too par for the course
when you finally saw all that you are and then some more?
Did you think life would take you out
when you’re on your last stand?
Didn’t you know, darlin’, course you did -
you’ve even got the moxie for that
Was it just a little bit wrapped nice
when you finally got served the sugar instead of spice?
Did you think you had to fall apart
in order to keep your cool?
Didn’t you know that this life’s too short
to spend it thinkin’ that you should lose?
Did it fall a little too into place
when you turned to yourself and said, right to your face:
“Hey, were you waitin’ for me to take you somewhere?”
Didn’t you know, course you did, that you’re the one who’ll get you there
Was it like the inside a fortune a cookie
when you, you got that, you’re who gets to set yourself free
Did you think you had to find the one to say
“OPEN SESAME!”
Didn’t you know, darlin’, course you did
You’re the one who’s holding the key

I Feel You
03:49
|

Jump up high
Get down low
Move in fast
Then take it slow
Come on, baby
Do what you know
Come on, baby
Make me go
Feelin’ time pass me by
Been lookin’ for somethin’ right
I thought I would change my mind,
But babe, I’m into you
It’s all you
Lookin’ for someone,
Asking everyone what I can do about you
Hey, have you seen her?
She’s got a demeanor that’ll woo
I’m a fool
Now I know I need
(Lookin’ for somethin’ right)
(Thought I could take my time)
What feels good to me
(Lookin’ like somethin’ right)
(Can’t get you off my mind)
[CHORUS]
I feel you
When you walked in here tonight
I knew I couldn’t let you out my sight
Suddenly I’m so inclined to get next to you
Who knew
Now I’m lookin’ for nothin’
Ever since I’m lookin’ right at you, my true blue
If I seem sure, it’s cause it sure seems
you’re sure too, aren't you?

Talking to Myself
04:13
|

Chitter chatter tickie talkie talk talk talk
Pitter patter slippy sloppy thoughts thoughts thoughts
Bizzy buzzy buddy have you heard heard heard
Oh, you say I haven’t said a word?
When I wake up in the morning
Before I’m up outta bed
I am greeted without warning
By what I’ve left unsaid (last night)
When I go to brush my teeth
I find my mouth open wide
It’s as if I’ve just been speaking
But it’s only me in sight
I’m tryna sort through all this muck, muck, muck
But my brain keeps gettin’ st-st-st-st-st-stuck
[CHORUS]
I’m just talkin’ to myself
Don’t need anybody else
I can entertain for days
And never hear any complaints
Do you think it such a crime
That I like to speak my mind?
But I’m the only one who hears
Am I making myself clear?
Call me on the tele make me ring, ring, ring
Phone a friend and maybe I’ll go ding, ding, ding
If the line is busy-izzy buzz, buzz, buzz
Hold the line, I’m comin’ for you, love
When I’m walking through the city
And people pass me by
I don’t ever greet them
I just wave my reflection, “Hi!”
When I go to catch the train
And we are shoulder to shoulder
I like to sing me a song
Til somebody says, “Move over!”
When it’s late at night
I’m not feelin’ alright
You know I just might, call you up, right?
When we’re talkin’ on the phone,
I feel less alone
Reachin’ for a dial tone
Just don’t put me on hold
I know I filled your inbox
And you could set alarm clocks
By all the times our wires crossed
I guess I’m just a chatterbox, well
You say you love me
But mine’s the first name in your book (in your contacts)
You know my lines are never down, baby, but
You’re ringin’ me off the hook (that goes)
[CHORUS]
I’m just a talkin’ to myself
I think it keeps me in good health
When I let the chit chat fly
It really clears my mind
Now if you try to call me up
Even just to say “Sup?”
And on my end you don’t hear a peep
Then leave a message at the beep

A Toast
04:30
|
|||
Here’s to you
You’re my cup of morning brew
You’re the kat unto my kit
But I sure hope that we never split
Cause you’re the shit
Like Hammer said, you’re too legit to quit
My number one, you are my ace
You’re a trip to outer space
You’re a whole lotta fresh burrata
Te quiero mas que a nada
Just when I’m feelin’ stressed
You’re an L train run express
You’re a hot pastrami from Katz’s
I’ll have whatever she has
If I’m right, you’re Joplin’s left
Keep me in stride, baby, you're the best
If I’m “Help,” you’re “Sgt. Pepper”
And say I’m time, well you’re forever
I don’t know how else I can tell ya
I wouldn’t be me without ya
If I’m a one bed, you’re stabilized rent
Call me Lucy, you’re my Ethel
Not sure what I like most about ya
Just know I wanna be around ya
Hats off to you
You’re no alarm clock, you’re the snooze
Live from New York, you’re Saturday night
You’re gettin’ me into the show tonight
You’re outta sight
Amelia’s trans-Atlantic flight
Kahlo’s eyebrow, Yoko’s scream
O’keefe’s flowers, A Love Supreme
You’re straight up Michelle Obama
A Sunday brunch spent in pajamas
Just when I think I’ve got the gist
There you are, a Hitchcock twist
A bichon frise that’s best in show
A brain freeze from a licuado
A taxi when I’m running late to a shockingly good blind date
If I’m a loaf of bread, then you’re a serrated knife
I’m walkin’ into walls, but you’re the night light
Baby, you’re my disco ball
I don’t know how to say it all
If I’m bed sheets, you’re 1200 thread count
And when I’m nervous, you never have a doubt
Breaking news, this just in
We’re the best pair since identical twins
Times will fly, and baby times will crawl
Time is up in no time at all
I just wanna spend the whole time
With you, you better half of mine
You’re the one I wanna think big thoughts with
You’re the one I wanna get caught with
Here’s a promise, here’s a toast
I might not be the best at sayin’ it
But you’re the one I wanna be with most
This one’s for you
You are my tried and true
You’re old school, you’re analog
You’re how Liza sang “New York, New York”
You’re a dork
A slumber party makin’ forts
You’re apricot, you’re figs, you’re dates
Yeah, you are the Empire state
You’re a 3AM chimichanga
You’re at the front, leading the conga
Just when I’m out of time
You’re a mile stretch of green lights
You’re air conditioning
New slang, the next big thing
When I say I’m callin’ home
You’re on the end of that dial tone
If I’m this song, then you’re the melody
When I’m sick, baby, you’re the remedy
I’m not tryna be so clever,
I’m just sayin’ we go together
And if you haven’t gotten the message yet
Maybe I just haven’t said it yet
Forget this song, and all the rhymes too,
I’m just tryna say
“I LOVE YOU!”

I Am
03:56

I am everything
I am God
Did you think that you were not?
I am perfect
I’m a mess
I’m so much more, or was it less?
I always wanted to be somebody
Didn’t know it was me
I’ve been runnin’ for such a long time
Now I see I’m right in front of me
I am me
Unequivocally
Who else would it be?
And hey, it’s so nice to meet ya
I’m so clear cut
I don’t make sense
I am the most infrequent gene sequence
I am distracted
I’ve got a plan
There it goes
And here I am
I am out of time
I am just in time
I am losin’ my mind
I ain’t afraid to die
I am sayin’ things
A way I’ve never said
I am seeing things
The way they’ve always been
I am me
Whaddaya think?
Hey, can you see
Past the nod and the wink?
Remember, whatever they tell you to fear
Is exactly the best part about you
And you know what I mean
Remember, it’s all up to you
What you do with this life
And I’m pretty sure there’s no warranty
Remember that you could have a daughter
That you could be a mother
That you could love another human being
Remember that you are a woman
I am a woman and
I’m tellin’ her, I’m letting go
I’m tellin’ you, I’m letting go
I am free
You are free
And it’s so nice to meet you
I am
