Snapshot

I wake up to clear blue skies
I stretch, I'm feeling fine
Got this carefree attitude
Nothin' on my mind 
my friends are coming over
Everything is right 
Its gonna be a perfect day
A piece of paradise

I don't know how, You talked me onto 
A coaster, goin' upside-down 
As I let the breeze blow across my face
It turns around my frown

The rhythm of a drummers beat
Makes me want to take a chance 
Make me want to move my feet
Forget my cares and dance

As carnival lights flash into the sky
And the stars shine up above
I look into the glowing eyes
Of all the people I love 

This is the moment of paradise
Cotton candy clouds 
And perfect blue skies 
I let myself float away
On the summer breeze 
And catch a spun sugar second 
Of pure happiness 
As the world swirls around us
I let this moment freeze 
Painting the perfect picture 
Of paradise
