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
