1.
In the friendly haunted mansion we will shout songs in the stairwell In the friendly haunted mansion we will summon ghosts in the living room We will summon spirits, we will shout along Do the cars down there know we're playing on the roof? Can you see the Herald building sign from Indianapolis? Up on the roof...
2.
I wake up with the sun these days I clean the kitchen every day I'm learning how to cook I'm learning about spices, hey! I'm having trouble writing songs but I love to play all day I'd love to play a song for you I'd love to play you all of my songs What are you up to now?
3.
Be Good 02:08
Sometimes I think I'm a bad band But I try to be a good man Be good, be good, be good, be good Think about what you're doing Be aware, be aware, be aware, be aware Of other people's feelings I may not be seeing as a party guy But I still like to have good times (Chorus)
4.
Sunday is a good day to catch up with friends Monday is time to go to work again On Tuesday there's never much quite happening Wednesday they call that the hump day Thursday is almost to the weekend and Friday, tomorrow we can sleep in On Saturday things are a little crazy and in the morning things are a little hazy It's been quite a week Let's share stories
5.
Hide yourself in a photograph if you wanna split in half Is it reality or is it fantasy? Putting on the striped shirt Hide yourself
6.
Clumsy 02:40
I'm figuring out where to begin To end this clumsy phase that I'm in Tripping over my feet again Knocking dishes on the floor Bumping into a table Crashing my bike into a bush I'm figuring out where to begin To end this clumsy phase that I'm in Spilling drinks on the ground Eating someone else's food Calling you by the wrong name Sleeping it is now a game
7.
What Do I Do 02:18
What do I do if I get what I want? I'm afraid of success but what comes next? Hey, it could be great, opportunities could generate How do you measure success anyway?
8.
Do you realize That the cleanness of your hair relates to your happiness? Do you realize That the more time you spend outside, the more you'll feel alive? You have to strike a balance with yourself Do you realize That when you do the dishes the whole kitchen looks cleaner? Do you realize That not eating food is not a good way to get leaner? You have to strike a balance with yourself
9.
Red Hat 02:28
I wear a red hat Because a movie, because Bill Murray It helps me keep safe at night It helps my friends find me in crowds But the point is not to look like Waldo... Waldo being read by Werner Herzog
10.
Stubbornness 02:13
Flowers in the sink Tapes all over the floor Christmas lights I'll miss but I've gotta ditch the stubbornness I get hurt when things don't go my way but I've gotta learn that it's okay Communication it goes both ways and stubbornness it ends today
11.
Bubble Up 03:25
Lately I've been feeling, feeling wild Stephen said, "that might be good" (being wild can be good) It's the friend that you haven't seen In a long, long, long, long time You've got so much to say 1,000 feelings to convey But it doesn't bubble up until you're walking away Let the goodness (bubble up) Let the sweetness (bubble up) Let the realness (bubble up) Let the honest (bubble up) Sometimes it's murky Sometimes it's sweet Let it be real Let it be me Bubble up
