Lyric Jason Mraz Curbside Prophet

"Curbside Prophet"

I’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I’m waiting for my rocket to come
I’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I’m waiting for my rocket, ya'll

y’see it started way back in nyc
when i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.
at a west end avenue at 63
the beginning of a leap year, february, ’96
with a guitar picked up in the mix
i committed to the licks like a nickel bag of tricks
well look at me now
look at me now
look at me now, now, now, now

i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll

well you’re never gonna guess
where i’ve been been been
and i have no regrets
that i bet my whole checking account
because it all amounts to nothing up in the end

well you can only count on the road again
we’ll soon be on the radio dial
and i been payin close attention to the willie nelson style
like a band of gypsies on the highway while
i’m one man pushin’ on the california skyline drive
up the coast I brag and I boast
i ’m pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost
raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most
put my cruise control's on coast
cuz i'm tourin' around the nation on extended vacation see
I got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitation
i say, "i like your style, crazy pound pup!
you need a ride? [*woof*]
well come on, girl, hop in the truck!"

i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come on
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll

see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover
with my guitar here
i'm ready to play
and i'm s a sucker for a filly
got a natural ability I'm geared to freestyle
look at my flexibility
dangerous at the mike
my ghetto hat's cocked right
the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
the backstage betties taking more than they can get
they say, "what's up with m-r-a-z?"

hey, hey, something's different in my world today
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
hey, hey, something's different in my world today
they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
i'm just a curbside prophet
curbside prophet now
curbside prophet now
curbside
come on, now
curbside prohet
waiting for my rocket to come...

Lyric Jason Mraz wordplay

i've been all around the world
i've been a new sensation
but it doesn't really matter
in this generation

the sophomore slump is an uphill battle
and someone said that ain't my scene
'cause they need a new song
like a new religion

music for the television
i can't do the long division
someone do the math
for the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer

got to find another way to live the life of leisure
so i drop my top
mix and i mingle
is everybody ready for the single and it goes...

[chorus]
ha la la la la
now listen closer to the verse i lay
(ha la la la la)

it's all about the wordplay
(ha la la la love)
the wonderful thing it does
because, because

i am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
yeah the mister a to z
they say i'm all about the wordplay
when it's time to get ill i got your remedy

for those who don't remember me
well let me introduce you to my style
i try to keep a jumble
and the lyrics never mumble

when the music's makin' people tongue-tied
you want a new song
like a new religion
music for the television

i can't do the long division
someone do the math
for the people write me off like i'm a one-hit wonder
gotta find another way to keep from goin' under

pull out the stops
got your attention
i guess it's time again for me to mention
the wordplay

[chorus]
ha la la la la
now listen closer to the verse i lay
(ha la la la la)

it's all about the wordplay
(ha la la la love)
the wonderful thing it does
because, because

i am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
yeah the mister a to z
they say i'm all about the wordplay
i built a bridge across the stream my consciousness

it always seems to be a flowin'
but i don't know which way my brain is goin'
oh the ryhmin' and the timin'
keeps the melodies inside me

and they're comin'
till i'm running out of air
are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
are you listening to a single word i've said

ha la la la la
listen closer to the words i say
ha la la la la
i'm stickin' to the wordplay

ha la la la love
the wonderful thing it does
because, because
i am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's

yeah the mister a to z
they say i'm all about the wordplay
ha la la la la
i'm all about the wordplay

ha la la la la
stickin' with the wordplay
ha la la la love
i love the wonderful thing it does

because, because
the ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's fall back in love
for the mister a to z they say
is all about the wordplay

Lyric Jason Mraz Tonight not again

The night.
She brushed her hands upon my flushed cheek
Smelled of childhood remnants of a dusty weeping willow
Clouds soothe, Shredded by the calico
Were oh so vast and quick as I was on my own now.

This time like every other time I believe that I never find
Another sweet little girl with sequined sea foam eyes
Ocean lapping voice smile coy as the brightest quiet span of sky
And I'm all alone again tonight not again, not again, not again.

And don't it feel alright. and don't it feel so nice. Lovely.

Still I'm unable to inhale all the riches
As I'm awkward as a wound on my bones
Still I've got cobblestone joints and plate glass points
As I'm all by myself tonight not again not againÉ

And don't it feel allright. and don't it feel so nice. Lovely.

Well if you should nervously break down
When its time for the shakedown would you take it
It's when you cry just a little but you laugh in the middle that you've made it
And don't it feel allright. and don't it feel so nice. 
Lovely.

Say it again. Lovely. So lovely. to do it again
Again. Loving again. It's coming again.
Lovely. 

Lyric Jason Mraz The Forecast

well i heard that it might be raining bed sheets and lover's words
let's throw out the hotel comforter and hang the 'do not disturb'
sign me up for the storm
i'll wear my suit for the shower

cause i'll have you to keep me warm in the coldest hour
and when the darkness falls under your hair, there i'll be
and crazy is the forecast all week
well every kiss, every hug is so light on that touch, delicate like a snowflake

well i can taste, i can taste, i can taste, i can taste you all over my face
and everyone might find it foolish to not be counting on the sun
but your mouth is my umbrella now
because i'm holding your tongue

and when the darkness falls under your hair, there i'll be
and crazy is the forecast all week
there's a good chance in hell
like cats and dogs we'll be flying

and i'm no weatherman
but you are lightning, striking
here comes that sun
want rain

all at once
how it sing
in the midst of the morning pull up a blanket of a cloud
and await for the warning of another come down

because the water is healthy for the roses in your cheeks
my well holds plenty for penny wishin' in your deep end
and when the lights go out, no doubt, with you i'll be
and crazy is the forecast all week

and if them rains should fall for sure with you i'll be
ah because crazy is the forecast all week long
crazy is the forecast

Lyric Jason Mraz Only Human

A squirrel in the tree is he watching me
Does he give a damn?
Does he care who I am?
I'm just a man, is that all I am
Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human? I'm human

Murderous crow, hey what you know
What you reading about, what you hold in your toes
Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace
A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece
Are you a riddle to solve all along?
Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all

Only human
Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me
The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise

'Cause we're only human
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse do you think
we'll keep on being only human
Yes we are, yes we are
Only human, only human, only human So far

Up in the major's tree, the one he planted
Back when he was just a boy
Thinking 1923
Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb
What you'll find is the product of a seed
The seed is sown, all alone
It grows above, with a heart of love
Sharp and shelter of the animals of land
and cold weather breathing
We're all breathing in

The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise

'Cause we're only human
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse do you think
we'll keep on being only human
Yes we are, only human, only human, so far, so far

And this place it will outlive me
Before I get to heaven I'll climb that tree
And I will have to give my thanks
For giving me the branch to swing on
If I ever fall in love
I'll have to give myself a baby
I will let my children have their way

'Cause we're only human, yes we are
Only human, so far, so far

Lyric Jason Mraz No stopping us

Would it take a bakers dozen to get my point to you?
Would it take a half a pound to roll a joint for you
Would it take some hailing mary's so full of grace to get my sound to you
Will you help me break it down and get on thru

Down to the other side
Its easy of you only try
Don't lie down on the job
Because once we hit the top there's no stopping us

Should I address all my letters to the well to be
Should I say return to sender is just a well be done
Should I better not it so personally if all the good loving is never received
Baby if it was me well I wouldn't think twice

No not i..
See its easy if you only try
So don't lie down on the job
Because once we hit the top there's no stopping us.

I will drive a thousand miles or I'll meet you at the station
If only you would take a vacation from this thing you have created
I promise to make it worth your while

So c'mon try. Baby wont you try
It's easy if you do not run
I promise you you'll have your fun
Because once we hit the top we've just begun

There's no stopping us.

Lyric jason Mraz please dont tell her

i hear she's kicking ass across the board and rock two hundred thousand higher scorer
just in time to save the world of being taken over
she's a warrior
i couldn't play again because the game it never end it never even landed on the can

and never let me in to spend my quarter
there's no love for me no more
say it isn't so
how she easily come, and she easy go

please don't tell her that i've been meaning to miss her
because i don't
she was the girl with the broadest shoulders
but she would die before i crawled over them

she is taller than i am
she knew i wouldn't mind the view there
or the altitude with a mouth full of air
she let me down the doubt came out until the now became later

say that it isn't so
how she easily come, how she easy go
please don't tell her that
'cause she don't really need to know

that i'm crazy like the rest of us
and i'm crazier when i'm next to her
so why after the all of everything that came and went
i care enough to still be singing of the bitter end and broken eras

i told you i don't but
i am only trying to be the best with my intent to cure
the rest is sure to lay me ease the plural hurts of the words of reverse psychology
that's easier said

easier than done
please don't dare tell her what i've become
please don't mention all the attention i have drawn
please don't bother cause she'll feel guilty when i'm gone

because i'm crazy like the rest of us
but i'm crazier when i'm next to her
and it's amazing how she's so self-assured
but i know she'd hate me if she knew my words

do i hurt anymore
do i hurt, well
i don't
i don't

i don't

Lyric Jason Mraz if it kills me

Hello, tell me you know

Yeah, you figured me out

Something gave it away

And it would be such a beautiful moment

To see the look on your face

To know that I know that you know now

And maybe that’s a case of my wishful thinking

You know nothing

Cause you and I

Why, we go carrying on for hours, on and

We get along much better

Than you and your boyfriend

Well all I really wanna do is love you

A kind much closer than friends use

But I still can’t say it after all we’ve been through

And all I really want from you is to feel me

As the feeling inside keeps building

And I will find a way to you if it kills me

If it kills me

Well how long, can I go on like this,

Wishing to kiss you,

Before I rightly explode?

This double life I lead isn’t healthy for me

In fact it makes me nervous

If I get caught I could be risking it all

maybe there’s a lot that I miss

In case I’m wrong

Well all I really wanna do is love you

A kind much closer than friends use

But I still can’t say it after all we’ve been through

And all I really want from you is to feel me

As the feeling inside keeps building

And I will find a way to you if it kills me

If it kills me

If I should be so bold

I’d ask you to hold my heart in your hand

Tell you from the start how I’ve longed to be your man

But I never said I would

I guess I’m gonna miss my chance again

All I really wanna do is love you

A kind much closer than friends use

But I still can’t say it after all we’ve been through

And all I really want from you is to feel me

As the feeling inside keeps building

And I will find a way to you if it kills me

If it kills me

If it kills me

I think it might kill me

And all I really want from you is to feel me

It’s a feeling inside that keeps building

And I will find a way to you if it kills me

If it kills me

If it kills me

It might kill me

Lyric Jason Mraz Clockwacthing

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la
Hm... hmm

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
It takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

It takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la la
It is so......

It takes some silence to make sound
And It takes a loss before you found it
It takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la love is meaningfull
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la
It is so... wonderfull
It is so... meaningfull

Lyric Jason Mraz bella Luna

Mystery the moon
A hole in the sky
A supernatural nightlight
So full but often right
A pair of eyes a closin' one
A chosen child of golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars
To farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars

A cosmic fish they love to kiss
They're giving birth to constellation
No riffs and oh no reservation
If they should fall you get a wish or dedication
May I suggest you get the best
For nothing less than you and i
Let's take a chance as this romance is rising over before we lose the lighting
Oh bella bella please
Bella you beautiful luna
Oh bella do you do
Do do do do do

You are an illuminated anchor
Of leads to infinite number
Crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the evenflows of hunger
You're dancing naked there for me
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
You're the ghost of royalty imposing love
You are the queen and king combining everything
Into twining like a ring around the finger of a girl
I'm just a singer, you're the world
All I can bring ya
Is the language of a lover
Bella luna, my balloona
How you swoon me like no other

May I suggest you get the best
Of your wish may I insist
That no contest for little you or smaller i
A larger chance happened, all them they lie
On the rise, on the brink of our lives
Bella please
Bella you beautiful luna
Oh bella do you do
Bella luna, my fortuna
How you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh
Oh mystery the moon

Lyric life high jason mraz

I try to picture a girl
Through a looking glass
See her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl
As her own new world
Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe

Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously

Try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter fact he's not a beast
No not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
Were it's laughter that we're makin after all

The call of the wild is still an ordination why
And the order of the permeates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing gratitude
Practicing their livin love you

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously

Just take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
Because nothing is ever as it seems
This life is but a dream

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
Let's takin it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
Let's takin it easy

Butterfly Lyrics

I’m taking a moment just imagining that I?m dancing with you
I?m your pole and all you’re wearing is your shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on
Until I write a song about you

And you have your own engaging style
And you’ve got the knack to vivify
And you make my slacks a little tight
You may unfasten them if you like
That?s if you crash and spend the night

But you don’t fold, you don’t fade
You got everything you need, especially me
Sister, you’ve got it all

You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk
Sister, you’ve got it all
You got it all

Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip then bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
’Cause they’re the perfect jumping off point
Getting closer to your butterfly

Will you float on by?
Oh, kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
And let’s mood the lights and finally make it right

But you don’t fold, you don’t fade
You got everything you need, especially me
Sister, you’ve got it all

You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk
Sister, you’ve got it all

You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
You got it all, woo, hey baby, uh
You’ve got it all

Doll, I need to see you pull your knee socks up
Let me feel you upside down, slide in, slide out
Slide over here, climb into my mouth now child

Butterfly well you landed on my mind
Damn right you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside
And now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes
I want to fly with you and I don’t want to lie to you

’Cause I, ’cause I can’t recall a better day
So I?m coming to shine on the occasion
You’re an open-minded lady, you’ve got it all

And I never forget a face
Except for maybe my own, I have my days
And let?s face the fact here
It’s you who’s got it all

You know that fortune favors the brave
Well let me get paid while I make your breakfast
The rest is up to you, you make the call

You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk
Sister, you’ve got it all

I can’t recall a better day
So I?m coming to shine on the occasion
Hey sophisticated lady, oh you got it all

You got it all, you got it all
You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
You got it all! Hey! You got it all, woo!

You got it all
You got it all
You got it all

Butterfly, baby, well you got it all
