You and I Know How To Glow
V. 1: I have been grimacing lately
I have been loving you extremely
I’m looking forward to going to Oregon
We welcome the sun, we welcome the sun
Pre-chorus: God, have mercy on my weary soul
Have mercy spiritually speaking
Passion and bliss has taken its toll
My pipes of positivity are leaking
Chorus: I am waiting (for you to set me free, can’t deny)
I am warning you — there’s an avalanche of pure happiness coming your way
I am anticipating (wandering in my mind’s eye)
I am warning you — I have a lot to say and more more and more each day
Watch me glow, glow, glow, glow, glow
Watch me grow to and fro, to and fro
Who knows where the wicked wind blow
I love you and hate the way I feel, I know
V.2: I have been reminiscing frankly
I have been longing for your touch daily
I’m looking forward to going to Utah
You’re a perfect flaw, flawed perfectly and all
Pre-chorus: God, have mercy on my weary soul
Have mercy spiritually speaking
Passion and bliss has taken its toll
My pipes of positivity are leaking
Chorus: I am waiting (for you to set me free, can’t deny)
I am warning you — there’s an avalanche of pure happiness coming your way
I am anticipating (wandering in my mind’s eye)
I am warning you — I have a lot to say and more more and more each day
Watch me glow, glow, glow, glow, glow
Watch me grow to and fro, to and fro
Who knows where the wicked wind blow
I love you and hate the way I feel, I know
V.3 Free me for an eternity if you may
I pray away the pain and I feel gay
I pray you’ll save me today, today
Do me a favor and be happy day by day
With me or without me, just don’t go cray-cray
I love your sway and I love how you play
I fall prey to your gladness that’s now gone astray
Pre-Chorus: God, have mercy on my weary soul
Have mercy spiritually speaking
Passion and bliss has taken its toll
My pipes of positivity are leaking
Chorus: I am waiting (for you to set me free, can’t deny)
I am warning you — there’s an avalanche of pure happiness coming your way
Not to mention an earthquake of emptiness inside me
I am anticipating (wandering in my mind’s eye)
I am warning you — I have a lot to say and more more and more each day
Not to mention I have a lot more solitude to soak in in captivity
Watch me glow, glow, glow, glow, glow
Watch me grow to and fro, to and fro
Who knows where the wicked wind blow
I love you and hate the way I feel, I know
V.4: I have been grimacing and remembering you lately…
Glow on, grow on, holding on just a ton till the pain is gone, till the pain is gone
But, damn, you’re so far away unfortunately
Glow on, grow on, emboldening and strengthening myself even after dawn
Pre-Chorus: God, have mercy on my weary soul
Have mercy spiritually, godly-willing
Passion and bliss has taken its toll
My pipes of positivity are spilling
Chorus: I am waiting (for you to set me free, can’t deny)
I am warning you — there’s an avalanche of pure happiness coming your way
Not to mention an earthquake of emptiness inside me
I am anticipating (wandering in my mind’s eye)
I am warning you — I have a lot to say and more more and more each day
Not to mention I have a lot more solitude to soak in in captivity
Watch me glow, glow, glow, glow, glow
Watch me grow to and fro, to and fro
Who knows where the wicked wind blow
I love you and hate the way I feel, I know
V.5: I want to see and feel your glow to and fro
I want to see and feel you grow, my glow
I want you inside and outside me as well —
That would be so swell, like hell,
I miss your touch so much
I want to kiss you and such
I want to shower with you
Every hour to wash away the rue
Grief inside grows on and it sticks to me like gorilla glue
Pre-Chorus: God, have mercy on my weary soul
Have mercy spiritually speaking
Passion and bliss has taken its toll
My pipes of positivity are leaking
Chorus: I am waiting (for you to set me free, can’t deny)
I am warning you — there’s an avalanche of pure happiness coming your way
I am anticipating (wandering in my mind’s eye)
I am warning you — I have a lot to say and more more and more each day
Watch me glow, glow, glow, glow, glow
Watch me grow to and fro, to and fro
Who knows where the wicked wind blow
I love you and hate the way I feel, I know
V.6: That would be so swell if you’d be my relief
Even if it’s a temporary relief, even if it’s brief
I want you underneath and down, down under
I need you like air to breathe unlike any other
Pre-chorus/bridge: God, have mercy on my weary soul
Have mercy spiritually speaking
Passion and bliss has taken its toll
My pipes of positivity are leaking
I’m glowing ever-knowingly
I’m growing up freely and gleely
I’m completely free
I’m feeling loved spiritually
Bridge: Internalizing you and you too
Drives me crazy with rue
I’m hanging with the crew
Your glowing face —
I wait for in sweet grace
But, you left out of my life substantially without a trace
My pipes of positivity
Clogged up in negativity
But, I unclogged it with set-me-free laughter
Even though, everyday, I look like a disaster
Spoken poetry: I glow on in the mirror of mesmerizingly marvelous Joy
I am but a lonesome, lamentable boy, struggling on the ground
Like a messed-up, manipulated toy, toy, toy, toy, toy, toy
I am but a 7 out of 10 these days, but I’ll soon be found air-bound
