I want it all
Even the raindrops won't fall in my way
I'm parting the seas
I'm setting the standard for living a dream
By staying awake
And counting the days
I'm falling in love by the side of the road
Mrs. Math do you always count to thirteen?
Holding sunsets
Voting on pieces of string
Wishy-wash, tabletop, one, two, three
Does your cat have a mustache?
Does it remind you of me?
I want it all
Even for me the autumn leaves stay green
And all of the clams that is holding your hand
Could never, ever take the place all like me
But now forget the time
It's a crime
That the pearl
Of a girl
Has been waiting to be set free...
Mrs. Math do you always count to thirteen?
Holding sunsets
Voting on pieces of string
Wishy-wash, tabletop, one, two, three
Well, does your cat have a mustache?
Does it remind you of your cat with a mustache?
Does it remind you of...
The ships that sail towards the west
The largest guard the treasure chest
The water never harms the mast
It's the clouds that fool the sun to set
One, two, three four!
(The ships that sail towards the west
The largest guard the treasure chest
The water never harms the mast
It's the clouds that fool the sun to set)
Cover your eyes
Try and walk a straight line
I dare you, the darkness is robbing us blind
And although I can't see your heart
I can still hear it beat from your breast
It's like a lighthouse
It's like a lighthouse
I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna find you
All right
I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna find you
Even the raindrops won't fall in my way
I'm parting the seas
I'm setting the standard for living a dream
By staying awake
And counting the days
I'm falling in love by the side of the road
Mrs. Math do you always count to thirteen?
Holding sunsets
Voting on pieces of string
Wishy-wash, tabletop, one, two, three
Does your cat have a mustache?
Does it remind you of me?
I want it all
Even for me the autumn leaves stay green
And all of the clams that is holding your hand
Could never, ever take the place all like me
But now forget the time
It's a crime
That the pearl
Of a girl
Has been waiting to be set free...
Mrs. Math do you always count to thirteen?

I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna find you

Even depression and frustration won't keep me from love
I'm doing whatever I can
I'm going to be a role model for finding love
By keeping my eyes open
And trying everyday
I may find love anywhere
Fate, why am I always unlucky with love?
Spending time at sunsets
relying on luck to help me
I might find love with a a waitress
Striking up a conversation about her cat
Could you love me as much as your cat?
I want to find love
Even though I'm growing old, love is still there
And the rich guys you're pretending to love
Will never love you the way I would
Don't worry about when love will come
It's a shame,
that the girl for me,
may not even have been born yet
The chances we take to find a brave new world
But always protecting my heart
Despite the annoyances, I won't be discouraged
Even if it looks bad, you shouldn't give up hope
(musical jam on the excitement of love)
Trust me and imagine
Try to walk straight toward love
Risk your feelings, love is the light
Even though I don't know who you are
I know there is someone who will love me
It's fate
I'm gonna find my true love
...

"I want it all
Even for me the autumn leaves stay green"
"The water never harms the mast
It's the clouds that pull the sun to set"
and most of the b-sides and rarities album, for that matter. i especiallly love the beginning of this song.
this song is fantastically amusing
this song is fantastically amusing
"Even the raindrops won't fall in my way I'm parting the seas I'm setting the standard for living a dream"...etc...
that he knows there is someone out there for him:
"I want it all"..."It's a crime That the pearl Of a girl Has been waiting to be set free..."
That this someone likes a lot of random unexplainable things he finds interesting, or is a very unique person that is like nobody else:
"Mrs. Math do you always count to thirteen? Holding sunsets Voting on pieces of string Wishy-wash, tabletop, one, two, three"
i think this refers to wondering if she is looking for him too:
"Well, does your cat have a mustache? Does it remind you of me?"
And overall, that he feels like nothing could stop him from finding this special someone that he has never met:
"I'm gonna find you..."
