V1:
You be my princess
I’ll be your toad
I’ll follow behind you
on rainbow road
Protect you from red shells
wherever we go
I promise.
V2:
Noone will touch us
if we pick up a star
If you spin out
you can ride in my car
When we slide together
we generate sparks
in our wheels and our hearts
Chorus:
The finish line
is just around the bend
I’ll pause this game
so our love will never end
Let’s go again
V3:
The blue shell is coming
so I’ll go ahead
If you hang behind
it’ll hit me instead
but never look back
cause I’m down but not dead
I’ll catch up to you
Bridge:
Don’t worry about
Bowser or DK
Eat this glowing mushroom
and they’ll all fade away
Chorusx2
to the mushroom cup
and the flower cup
and the star cup
and the reverse cup

Lyrics
Don’t you want to be the one
To tell him, oh why can’t you see
The only people that you’re
Hurting here are you and me,
We’ll be together once again
Just one big happy family
Minus the cat.
Oh I don’t believe I’m
Hearing this, just don’t be such a twat.
He was just fine when his
Granddad died, he’ll live without the cat.
He’s old enough to understand
That dying is a natural
Part of life.
We’ve talked about the birds and bees
So why ya hiding this from me?
It’s plain to me why can’t you see
I don’t need any therapy for this.
This could be unnecessary
Pain and quite a lot of nasty
Strain upon his brain and you know
How expensive therapy can
Be for just one session nowadays
And just for dealing with a
Phase that he’ll grow out of in a
Couple of years, it’s true.
We’ve talked about the birds and bees
So why ya hiding this from me?
It’s plain to me why can’t you see
I don’t need any therapy for this.
We’ve talked about the birds and bees.
So why ya hiding this from me?
It’s not like I mind.
I mean, come on.
I’d figure it out someday.

Lyrics:
There are a few new leaves
On my backyard tree
And I never want to trip you up with honesty
But I guess the burden of the truth
Was greater than me
I’ve got my blue guitar and my coffee mug
God, I’m always singing
All these songs of love
But you, what do I know about you?
Instrumental
What can I say? If I feel this way
It’s like trying to paint a picture
With just shades of gray
And I can’t help but see in color
When I look at your face
I can talk about my wildest plans
And you’ll understand cause the
Words are always resting in my open hands
But you, what can I say about you?
Chorus:
Now I wonder what it would be like
To have your hand in mine
I’d rather fail than to never try
There are a few good fruits
On the friendship shoot
But I never trusted people like I’m trusting you
And time can move so slowly
When you’re not here
You make the doubts dry up
When my mind shuts down
And it’s never been as open
As it is right now
See, I feel like I could do this
If you wanted to

Lyrics:
If I wander out too far,
Reel me back in with the rope
And if the rope begins to fray
Darlin’ don’t you be afraid
Cause I may float away
But I will never stray
Too far away, my love
I’ll swim right back up the river
I may float away
But I will never stray
Too far away, my love
I’ll swim back to you forever, love.
If the water gets too deep
Pull me back inside the boat
And if the boat won’t stay afloat
At least you’re going down with me
[chorus]
If you’d rather let me go (oh-oh-oh)
Go ahead and cut the rope
But if the current drags me back to you
I can’t promise it’s the last
You’ll see of me

Lyrics
Never thought it would be this way
Must be something to do with you
Now I’m stranded inside this house
With walls of glass you see right through
And I don’t dare to open my eyes
Everytime I do I fall
Sometimes all I can do is to run away
But it always comes back to me
Back to me wherever I go
Somehow everything I see turns away from me
And it always comes back to me
Back to me whenever I fall
Finding out was as hard as I thought
Now I’m walking towards something new
This is me grasping for something I can not reach
You wouldn’t believe if I told you the truth
And I don’t dare to open my eyes
Everytime I do I fall
Sometimes all I can do is to run away
But it always comes back to me
Back to me wherever I go
Somehow everything I see turns away from me
And it always comes back to me
Back to me whenever I fall
Lost in myself
Couldn’t seem to understand what you made me
Now I know why
I can not stand here by you
So fly
Away into the night
Sometimes all I can do is to run away
But it always comes back to me
