I'm too, too tired for this Monday I wish that Sunday had settled in I'm too, too tired for this workday For all of these weekdays to start again My coffee's not helping me anymore I can't get my feet to move through the door So hand me my pillow, I'm taking my blanket I'll just go back to bed Because Tomorrow's only Tuesday The time is passing by so slowly And when the week is over The week just starts all over and Tomorrow's only Tuesday. Hey! I'm too, too tired of this condition We have of longing for 5 o'clock I'm too, too tired of repetition But we have no way to make it stop My coffee's not helping me anymore I can't get my feet to move through the door Now, only my pillow can hold all my dreams I might as well go back to bed Because Tomorrow's only Tuesday The time is passing by so slowly And when the week is over The week just starts all over and Tomorrow's only Tuesday. Hey! We ride through each day waiting Just to get in line for the next All because the future Makes better dreams than does the past I’m too, too tired; I’m too, too tired; I’m too, too tired I’m too, too tired; I’m too, too tired; I’m too, too tired Because Tomorrow's only Tuesday The time is passing by so slowly And when the week is over The week just starts all over and Tomorrow's only Tuesday

There's a girl I knew From the time that I was two to twenty-four She was coolheaded, bighearted Never asked, but always wanted more She was up for every nomination Loved by all her congregation Always told her voice was angel's song She was sweet and clever She knew how to do it better all along Can you catch a whisper here, a whisper there? It's so unfair Oh, can you catch a whisper as she pulls her skinny fingers through her hair? She said "tell me what it's like to fall in love I've been thinking and it just doesn't add up You lose your logic to the fervor Of your passions as they further The intentions we reserve for the insane; I prefer my solitary counterpane" There's a boy I saw Who would hang on every heart that passed him by He was bowled over, blindsided Every time a new one caught his eye He was all romance and tragedy He reminisced so longingly But time and time again, he'd cry defeat He was smooth and smitten With each pretty little kitten He would meet Can you catch a whisper here, a whisper there? It's so unfair Oh, can you catch a whisper as he pulls his skinny fingers through his hair? He said "tell me what it's like to fall in love 'Cause it sounds like something I'd like something of You lose your logic to the fervor Of your passions as they further The intentions we consider somewhat touched; I don't know if I could ever get enough" Tell me what it's like to fall in love I've been thinking and it just doesn't add up You lose your logic to the fervor Of your passions as they further The intentions we consider somewhat touched I don't know if I could ever get enough I don't know if it could ever be enough

Addicted 05:05
I'm addicted to your smile The way your eyes mash at the edges Been away from it a while Sense myself becoming restless I can't stand to be apart from you, my dear, my dear Mine's a lonely, lonely heart without you near, without you near I'm addicted to your face The way it lights up when it sees me Not to mention your caress Your hands and arms when they are near me I can't stand to be apart from you, my dear, my dear Mine's a lonely, lonely heart without you near, without you near I need you like coffee in the morning, I'm addicted to you, darling, And I can't put you down I'm so glad to have you here so close You know I'll make the most of having you around I'm addicted to your face The way it lights up when it sees me Not to mention your caress Your hands and arms when they are near me I can't stand to be apart from you, my dear, my dear Mine's a lonely, lonely heart without you near, without you near

The Magic 03:44
Chapter one, the story's just begun They call it fake, but I'm fixed on your charms All well and good, it played out like it should Till I found myself safe in your arms I can see it now, Honey we are bound To seal it with a vow, Oh babe, they'll all come around soon The sparkle in your eyes They say it's a disguise But they're just sounding false alarms Chapter two, a picture perfect view But I'm catching on to the cracks in the hall Your eyes go blank when I'm just being frank While I explain the way it's starting to fall You build your brew In the shelter of your room In a castle too new To become consumed with all that Well I suppose that I I should've known but I Was hoping I could have it all But the magic just left one day It sensed the mood and it got a little afraid Decided to pack it's bags And find a friendlier place to stay Well, I bet it was the way I said goodbye I said goodbye I can't keep up with your incantations Their sweet sensations are starting to fade While I fade, you berate My inclination to disbelieve Though your spell is o'er, dear, I can't ignore how we had it made An impermanent win; Now, baby, I'm drinking in This sense of reprieve Reprieve Oh, the magic just left one day It sensed the mood and it got a little afraid Decided to pack it's bags And find a friendlier place to stay Well, I bet it was the way I said goodbye
