Walking out the station see you waving at me I say I'm sorry I'm late I missed the train thinking 'bout you Silently you lead me through these bright neon streets In this warm evening heat Pass by the old corner store, cross the bridge, to an empty park See in the dark Orange bubbles in the air From the magic orange you peel in your hand Watch them dance across the sky Hear them pop to the tune of your laugh and your sigh How I wish that there was some magic jar Made of distant stars or the sand of Mars I could keep some bubbles in, to save for later Pass the night away beneath the half crescent moon I trade a slice of my life, for every slice of an orange Then you turn to me and place your hand into mine When you'd learn to freeze time You leave a gift in my palm Perfect peel Resplendent rind, blows my mind Orange bubbles in the air From the magic orange you peel in your hand Watch them dance across the sky Hear them pop to the tune of your laugh and your sigh How I wish that there was some magic jar Made of distant stars, or the sand of Mars I could keep some bubbles in, to save for later Take a seat, at a bench, keep an inch apart Hour passes and I feel like you're half as far Take a seat, at a bench, keep an inch apart Any closer and maybe you'll have my heart Orange bubbles in the air From the magic orange you peel in your hand Watch them dance across the sky Hear them pop to the tune of your laugh and your sigh Yes I know that there is no magic jar Made of distant stars, or the sand of Mars That can keep these bubbles in for later That can keep these bubbles in till next summer Capture all these moments shared with you

Origami fortune teller Lying on its side Gentle creases, gentle line I open up the petals though I know what's inside A sweet request will you be mine I guess I thought about it once upon a time (A sweet request will you be mine) (I guess she thought about it once upon a time) But as time does so time will do As the ink fades I start questioning you Thinking 'bout tearing all these papers in two My origami baby But as time does so time will do As the ink fades I start questioning you Thinking 'bout tearing all these papers in two My origami baby over you Kind and pretty, smart and nice Since when'd you know so many words Here's a thesaurus they're helpful I've heard I know how you tossed and turned To find the right verbs And in return I'll toss this letter A sweet request would hate to see it burn (Looks like she's gonna toss this letter) (Watch it burn) But as time does so time will do As the ink fades I start questioning you Thinking 'bout tearing all these papers in two My origami baby But as time does so time will do As the ink fades I start questioning you Thinking 'bout tearing all these papers in two My origami baby over you What's your favorite number Open close, open close, open close Try again, answer's no What's your next favorite number Open close, open close, open no, no no baby But as time does so time will do As the ink fades I start questioning you Thinking 'bout tearing all these papers in two My origami baby But as time does so time will do As the ink fades I start questioning you Thinking 'bout tearing all these papers in two My origami baby over you Thinking 'bout tearing all these papers in two My origami baby But as time does so time will do As the ink fades I start questioning you Thinking 'bout tearing all these papers in two My origami baby over you

Windows open, moon up high When the leaves sing lullabies, yeah Single star lone satellite Nothing fancy on my mind no Worries turn into butterflies Metamorphosis say goodbye, yeah When I'm dancing in my room You could say I'm partial to the moonlight You know it's better than the sunshine You could say I'm partial to the moonlight Feels like sunshine in the shade Windows open, moon up high When the leaves sing lullabies, yeah Single star lone satellite, yeah Nothing fancy on my mind no Worries turn into butterflies Metamorphosize say goodbye, yeah Got me dancing to the moon oh, oh You could say I'm partial to the moonlight You know it's better than the sunshine You could say I'm partial to the moonlight Feels like sunshine in the shade Windows open, moon up high When the leaves sing lullabies, yeah Single star lone satellite, uh huh Nothing fancy on my mind no Worries turn into butterflies Metamorphosis say goodbye Through the changes of the seasons yeah Always find the reasons to love Windows open, moon up high When the leaves sing lullabies, yeah (You could say I'm partial to the moonlight) Butterflies Till the sunrise (Sunrise) You can find me dancing to the moon
