“up to
something” lyrics
on
from here
we’re on
our way today / tappin’ out together rhythm of the
same song / feet up on the dashboard right where they belong / hand out the
window makin’ waves in the breeze / it’s the reason
why i loved you all along / (chorus) no matter where we come from / and no matter where we’re going
to / sometimes you drive and sometimes i steer /
either way, baby / let’s go on from here / let’s go on from here / just a
bit of open road / with no place to go /
save for me and you and everything that we want to do / you were my most
beautiful view so I’ll try to capture every one / chorus / chorus /
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
simple
i wonder why so many people today / seem to need
to say what they mean to say / in such a complicated way / i
can write only so many songs about so many things that i
love about you / but at the end of the day here’s what it comes down to / (chorus) i wonder
if you’d be alright / i wonder if you wouldn’t mind /
i wonder if it’d be okay / if i
said it in a simpler way / i love you / i need you / i want you / i miss you / and it’s better when i’m
around you / it’s really just that simple / i
ought to never forget all the things i promised you i would remember / like how you take your coffee in the
morning and what you were wearing when we first met / well it’s tragic,
unacceptable that i can’t / but i
can still remember like it was yesterday / how the light plays off of your face
/ chorus / when the waves break and the breeze makes the
leaves shake / and the cat tails sway as dawn greets the day / when the water’s
fine and the clouds are white on the horizon line / i
realize i could be with you forever / chorus / why can’t it be just that
simple / it can never be just that simple / well it could really be just that.

spontaneous
you’re a big girl, now / you don’t need anyone’s
permission / just follow your intuition / do you need me to spell it out? / do
you need an invitation? / to make an educated
decision? / you can try to hide behind the little girl disguise / but i see it says “right now” in your eyes / be in this moment
/ don’t ruin the surprise / (chorus)
right now / you won’t be sorry if we do / right now / since you’ve been meaning
to / just go with it / and do what you want to / right now / it’ll be beautiful
/ I promise you / it’s been everyone else’s rules all your life / do you
really need their voice inside your head / when you’re crawlin’
into bed / telling you the company to keep / when it’s me all alone singing you
to sleep / we’re not getting any younger / you’ve listened to the rumors / but
we both know it’s getting way too late / we don’t have nearly long enough to
sit and hesitate / chorus / it’ll be
beautiful if we do, if we do right now / don’t wait to long / don’t say too
much / don’t think too much just be spontaneous / don’t wait too long / don’t
say too much / it don’t take to much to be spontaneous / we’re not getting any
younger / you’ve listened to the rumors / but we both know it’s getting way too
late / we don’t have nearly long enough to sit here and debate / chorus / it’ll be beautiful / if we do,
if we do right now.

my
time coming
i’m sittin’ here with
myself / contemplating my life / biding my time / wondering where all the good
times have gone to / no responsibilities / enduring the world with the brim of
my hat down / getting ready to weather / (chorus)
sooner or later your time will come / don’t worry we will get there / they’ll
try to get you coming and going / one thing they can’t take / this is the dawn
of my morning / and it’s my time coming / it’s my time coming / well my time is
coming / remember bein’ a little kid / fall down,
get up and started laughing / wondering about everything around you / like why
the sky was blue / to worried about tomorrow before your in it / to live your
life right this very minute / chorus
/ sometimes it’s alright not knowing / sometimes it’s alright to press play
when you wanna’ press pause / sometimes life calls
for a rewind / sometimes you get the chance / sometimes it alright not knowing
how / when sometimes, sometimes is right now, is right / chorus /

up to
something
you’re
up to nothin’ all day / but a little bit of nothing’
is still a bit of something’ / and a little bit of somethin’
goes a long way / still counts for somethin’ / that’s
what they say anyway / (chorus) would you be up to get down / to get up to
no good / would you be up to get down / to get up to no good / would you be
down to get up to somethin’ with me / do you know
what you’re getting’ yourself into / always such a good boy / well i got news for you / that’s what i
lead you to believe / but i’ve got so much more hidin’ up my sleeve / chorus
/ what you see ain’t never what you get, oh / don’t
you jump to your conclusions just yet / you’re on the top of my list of things
to do / oh, we can get away with what we set our minds to / chorus / would be up to get down / to
get up, oh / would you be up to get down / to get up, get up, get up, get up/
would you be up to get down / to get up to no good / would you be down to get
up to somethin’ with me / would you be down to get up
to somethin’ with me.

girl
next door
where do you think you’re goin’
dressed like that? / is that any way to be remembered, oh? / like
a one night stand, and a walk of shame, with a beer to blame? / would your mother be proud of they way that you are choosin’ to please the crowd? / or
the silly little way that you prance around? / (chorus) you’re the reason why victoria’s
secret is so much sexier than playboy / you leave nothing to the imagination / i’ll stick to the girl next door / she offers so much more
/ i’ll stick to the girl next door / so much more to
explore / i’ll stick to the girl next door / ‘cause she
isn’t a… whore / did your father let you go out dressed like that tonight?
(that tonight) / painted up all pretty man you’re such
a sight / maybe tonight, you’re pretty hot / maybe I’ll call you tomorrow…
maybe not / chorus / pretty only
lasts for five minutes on its own / all pretty does / gets you on the soles of
your feet / and makes you walk on over / pretty needs to be backed up / oh,
pretty can disappear / once a girl opens up her mouth / you’re the reason why victoria’s secret is… / you’re the reason why victoria’s secret is… / chorus / you’re the reason why victoria’s
secret is so much sexier than playboy / you leave nothing to the imagination / (chorus 2) i’ll
stick to the girl next door / she offers so much more / i’ll
stick to the girl next door / so much more to explore / i’ll
stick to the girl next door / ‘cause she isn’t a… well, you know.

hula
got my hula girl her bouncin'
pronouncin' all the bumps in the freeway / got my
lover girl her dancin' romancin'
on our getaway / back and forth on my way up north / open my mouth on my way
down south / five minutes, at least, when i'm back
east / then cover the rest when i'm out west / (chorus
1) up and down and back and out / who needs a destination when my girl is
amazing / up and down and back and out / why go anywhere else when my girl is the
one who’s amazing / she's so amazing / got my directions but the way is
delayed / by these curves that i need to get around /
my map says go ahead, but instead i'll stop at this
view that i found / got the music on / the stereo blarin'
is the only sound clear / "are we there yet?" she asks / i say,"no, but we're almost
near" / (chorus 2) here and there and everywhere / my girl is the only
trail that i'm blazin’ /
here and there and everywhere / who needs a destination when my girl is amazing
/ here and there and stop and stare / why go anywhere else when my girl is the
one who’s amazing / she's so amazing / my girl's amazing / she's so amazing /
my girl's amazing / my girl / oh, she's amazing / chorus 2 /

next to
you
our night time paradise / my bed made for two /
unmade by me and you / you wore my t-shirts / ending up so lovely / your skin
only / dressed in moonlight / you're
made of love / the love we'll make so much of / you're made of more / than i have words for / (chorus) watching you sleep, hugging
your curves / learning the dreams you keep imagining / our land of make believe
/ a place i never wanna'
leave / i never wanna'
leave being next to you / what did i do before you? i can't remember / this couldn't
be real / i'm gonna' wake
up to find this isn't real, right? / so much better next to you tonight / next
to you tonight / we could drive to nowhere / and once we get there i'll be everywhere / and make you forget the world except
for me / right where you want me to be like melody / oh, we can only see what
candles let us see / makin' life seem easy / chorus
/ i wanna' be the first to
kiss the places you didn't know exist / same places everybody else missed and
get tangled up with you / you're like rain falling as slow as you can / like
liquid running smooth / the way your scent lingers on my world / chorus /

that’s
that
there’s
a place on my rooftop where i learn to stop countin’ myself out / there’s a place on a passenger seat
where i find out right where i’m
goin’ / there’s a place in front of a window where i can see what i’ve not seen /
there’s a place out under a streetlight where i can
see my slate’s still clean / (chorus)
feels like that it looks like I guess
that’s that, oh / seems like that it looks like that I guess that’s that /
there’s a place up on somebody’s shoulders where i
can be over the top / there’s a place in my heart that’s beggin’
me not to stop / there’s a place in the middle of nowhere where i find that i’m givin’ myself a hand / there’s a place out on the horizon i don’t need to understand / chorus / seems like you’re lost and you can’t find your way / right
where you are is where your at and that’s that / feels like you’re lost and you
can’t find your way / maybe you’ve found a new place / maybe you’ve found a new
place to start / chorus / there’s a
place in my mind / there’s a place in my soul / there’s a place in my heart /
there’s a place in the world / that’s that / that’s that / that’s that, ya / that’s that / that’s that / that’s that.

leaving
you
i’m leavin’ you and this
time it’s for good / i can’t take what you put me
through / even though i wish i
could / you don’t how to decide / and i just can’t
wait till you make up your mind / (chorus
1) as much as it hurts to do / to
say who is leaving who / still this is me leaving you / i
can see through you when you say “i’m sorry” / i refuse to get hurt again / i
struggle to get free / i am sick of all you do to me
/ so i’m saying goodbye for the very last time / (chorus 2) as much as it hurts to do / to say who is leaving who / still this is
me leaving you / so this is me leaving you / you said you’re not good
enough for me / now i can see why that was true with
you / chorus 2 /

here
tomorrow
imagine
for a minute / let’s get down together / you’re every dawn all at once / the
muse of my midnight / breezin’ me cool in the
twilight / my elevator-feeling, six-o’clock princess / let me dig on you today
/ while we simmer for the summer / and i wish the
days away / (chorus 1) till you come
back / and sing me spring / and be just the thing to play my paradise / i want you here tomorrow / i want
you here tomorrow / i want you here tomorrow if you
can’t be here today / imagine for a minute/ your life with me in it / let
my voice kiss you from here / remembering being alive / in our streamline kind
of jive / tumble down drops of heaven and bring me to you and dream it’s true /
‘cause i’ve used up all my dreams by living them with
you / chorus 1 / imagine for a
minute when we re-begin it / every time I picture you i
stop… snapshot / well pictures fade and letters fray / and we can’t re-make
yesterday / about to be eventually / and nothin’ can
take my wishes away for my turn / and I will learn / (chorus 2) to sing you spring / and be just the thing / to play your paradise
/ I want you here tomorrow / I want you here tomorrow / I want you here
tomorrow if you can’t be here today.
