Soliloquy 03:29
Now that you're in the room, I have an excuse To talk to myself about the things I like 'Cause all your tastes, they taste the same as mine Thank you for keeping me sane 'Cause otherwise I'd be talking to the wall Can you hear me? Yes, you hear me I'm glad to think you hear me Now that you're in the car, I have an excuse To drive to the houses I hope to someday own They're big and look, some of them are for sale I bet I could talk them down and then Maybe after that You and I can chat Let's together, you and me Have a soliloquy You could be anyone Let’s talk about me Now that you're in my head, I have an excuse To shout about whatever I've imagined you've done wrong I'm feeling bad and you're the one who's here Hey, somebody's looking through the blinds Turn off the lights, stay inside, hide And don't answer the door And let's together, you and me Have a soliloquy Track down the enemy With a map of my feelings Now that you’re in the room I have my excuse To talk to myself

Love your neighbor, brothers and sisters Know your neighbor's hurting too We're all going through the same crap as you Will you love, will you love? Will you help yourself by helping us? Everybody's got the same story with some details swapped around And we end up in the ground But one thing sticks around you've found And it's love and it's love (everybody needs it) You got love, you got love, so make it too (everybody wants it) And treat yourself like you want us to treat you It's love (Love your sister) LOVE (Love your brother) Love yourself Who else is gonna love? No one's gonna take your chances for you So go and love Go and love, go and love (everybody wants it) You got love, you got love, so make it too (everybody needs it) Treat yourself like you want us to treat you It's love (Happy peace love) LOVE (Happy peace love) Love yourself No one's gonna take your chances for you So go and love

Abigail, Abigail, tell your papa we are leaving Abigail, Abigail, leave the letter and run Abigail, Abigail, take a sip and calm your breathing You'll be fine Little girl, little girl, treasure all these scenes and secrets Little girl, little girl, you'll be older soon Abigail, Abigail, here's to life beyond your blankets Welcome home Praise God from whom all blessings flow Out from anxious fears below Abigail, Abigail, have you known the way forever? Abigail, Abigail, won't you wait for me? Little girl, little girl, what's the meaning of this letter? Come back home Praise God from whom all blessings flow After and before we go But if we can try a little bit We'll make it all right Walk to our fright and kindle it We'll be fine Oh Abigail, oh Abigail, my little girl

Let's live here and just be With no thoughts of tomorrow, no moments slip away With no thoughts of forever, eternity's today Every day's today Let's live here and just be who hears angels be With no thoughts of tomorrow, your worries slipped away With no thoughts of forever, we're always here today Every day's today Let's live here and just be
