Song lyrics

My shadow side, so amplified, keeps coming back dissatisfied

Elementary sun, but it's so—

My love affair, with everywhere, was innocent

Why do you care?

Someone start the car, time to go

You're the best I know


My sunny side has up and died

I'm betting that, when we collide, the universe will shift into a low

The travesties that we have seen are treating me like Benzedrine

Automatic laughter from a pro


My, what a good day for a walk outside

I'd like to get to know you a little better, baby

God knows that I really tried

My, what a good day for a— Take out bride

I'd like to say we did it for the better of–


I saw you there so unaware, those hummingbirds all in your hair

Elementary sun, but it's so—

The disrepair of Norma Jean could not compare to your routine

Balarama beauty goin' toe to toe


My, what a good day for a— Let it slide

I'd like to say we did it for the better of–


I thought about it and I brought it out

I'm motivated by the lack of doubt

I'm consecrated, but I'm not devout

The mother, the father, the daughter

Yeah!


(Uuh-uh-uh)

Right on the verge, just one more dose

I'm traveling from coast to coast

My theory isn't perfect, but it's close

(Uuh-uh-uh)

I'm almost there, why should I care?

My heart is hurting when I share

Someone open up, let it show


My, what a good day for a walk outside

I'd like to think we did it for the better of–

Yeah!


I thought about it and I brought it out

I'm motivated by the lack of doubt

I'm consecrated, but I'm not devout

The mother, the father, the daughter


Oh, you don't form in the wet sand

You don't form at all

Whoa, you don't form in the wet sand

I do, yeah

You don't form in the wet sand

You don't form at all

Whoa, you don't form in the wet sand

I do

Yeah!
