The Perfect Time – Explained

Lyrics by Joe

[Verse 1]
I always hear the same old words
It’s so absurd
I can’t believe my ears
And when it’s all been said and done
You’ll be the one
Standing with me here

[Pre-chorus 1]
Sing me this song when I am feeling blue
Can’t let it show
Cause everybody knows

[Chorus 1]
I can hardly wait
It’s the perfect time
Let’s hurry up so we can stand in line
Whisper in my ear
Tell me I’ll be fine
You’ll be fine

[Verse 2]
A week goes by in just a day
I wish that I could say
I’m satisfied with everything that I’ve done
So much to do, so little time
It’s just so hard to find
Peace of mind for having fun

[Pre-chorus 2]
Sing me this song and I will think of you
Remind me how it goes
Cause everybody knows

[Chorus 2]
I can hardly wait
It’s the perfect time
Let’s hurry first and then we’ll take our time
Whisper in my ear
Tell me I’ll be fine
You’ll be fine
You’ll be fine…

[Bridge]
Running at full speed
Don’t forget to breathe
Hold on to your heart
Here comes the hardest part
I will not let go
Of the dream I’ve had
From so long ago
Come on and give me your worst
I’ll gladly accept
So tomorrow
There’s no chance of regret

[Breakdown]

[Chorus 3]
I can hardly wait
It’s the perfect time
Whisper in my ear
Tell me I’ll be fine
You’ll be fine

I can hardly wait
It’s the perfect time
Let’s hurry up so we can stand in line
Whisper in my ear
Tell me I’ll be fine
You’ll be fine
You’ll be fine

Awoke In The Springtime – Explained

Lyrics by Joe

[Verse 1]
Awoke in the springtime
Covered in sunshine
Never have I felt so fine
The winter’s now over
I can’t believe I feel this good
It’s been a long long time

[Pre-chorus 1]
Turn off your mind
And everything becomes clear
Search and you’ll find
The reasons for being here
And you know, you know

[Chorus 1]
I can hear the music play
Never ending summer days
Life is but a dream they say
So dream on
When I feel the evening breeze
It puts my soul at ease
And I can finally breathe
The weight is gone
The best days are always so simple
Reminding us somehow
All that we have
Is now

[Verse 2]
Awoke in the springtime
Chance of a lifetime
Remember to enjoy the ride
My instincts take over
It’s no surprise I feel this good
Adapt with every stride

[Pre-chorus 2]
Turn off your mind
And everything disappears
Search and you’ll find
The reasons that brought here
Cause you know, you know

[Chorus 2]
I can hear the music play
Never ending summer days
Life is but a dream they say
So dream on
When I feel the evening breeze
It puts my soul at ease
And I can finally breathe
The weight is gone
The best days have always been simple
Reminding us somehow
All that we have
All we can change
Is now, now it…

[Bridge]
Feels like a lucid dream
My senses wide awake
An endless movie of real life
That only I can make

[Trumpet Solo]

[Pre-chorus 1]
Turn off your mind
And everything becomes clear
Search and you’ll find
The reasons for being here
And you know, you know

[Chorus 1]
I can hear the music play
Never ending summer days
Life is but a dream they say
So dream on
When I feel the evening breeze
It puts my soul at ease
And I can finally breathe
The weight is gone
The best days are always so simple
Reminding us somehow
All that we have…
Is now

I Miss The Summer – Explained

Lyrics by Joe

[Verse 1]
Here comes the cold
There goes my hope
And energy
Can’t sleep enough
And when I’m up
I’m still asleep
Stuck in a terrible mood
Eating just way too much food
I’m on the verge of losing my mind
Because…

[Pre-chorus 1]
It’s more than a feeling
Too many days of grey and rain
I need a drink or three cause it helps me
To ease the pain

[Chorus]
I miss the sun and the summer now
It’s too damn dark and depressing out
So many clouds in my head (so many clouds)
Can’t pull myself out of bed (ooh)
I miss the sun and the summer

[Verse 2]
Here comes the snow
It’s ten below can’t help but freeze
It’s so unfair how much the air hurts me to breathe
I need a warm getaway
Wish I still lived in LA
I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind
Because…

[Pre-chorus 2]
It’s more than a feeling
Staying inside drives me insane
I need a drink or three cause it helps me
To ease the pain

[Chorus]
I miss the sun and the summer now
It’s too damn dark and depressing out
So many clouds in my head (so many clouds)
Can’t pull myself out of bed (ooh)
I miss the sun and the summer

[Keyboard Solo]

[Chorus]
I miss the sun and the summer now
It’s too damn dark and depressing out
So many clouds in my head (so many clouds)
Can’t pull myself out of bed (ooh)
I miss the sun and the summer
I miss the sun and the summer
