Running on Sunshine

Matt, at some point, sent me the MP3 for this Jesus Jackson song. It is kind of old school, but when Carley and I were tooling around the low country listening to tunes on my iPod this track came on. I think it is my theme song for the current times. :-)

Lyrics:

Running on Sunshine

Girl you got me tripping on sunshine
God knows you just made my day
Since you came around, no
I just can't slow down, no
I wanna see you walk in my walk

Girl you got me thinking about diving
And get down on one knee, maybe two
People may stop and stare, but
I don't even care, no
Just as long as I'm with you

You got me running on sunshine
Ain't no clouds getting in my way
I must be running on sunshine
Ain't no rain getting in my way

Girl you got me acting real crazy
Chasing tail like some old dog
Oh I got this rocket
In my friendly pocket
Ready to explode like a bomb

Something tells me you made me lose it
Cause everything keeps shaking around
We can cut the rule
Make these walls go boom
We can do this right here and now

You got me running on sunshine
Ain't no clouds getting in my way
I must be running on sunshine
Ain't no rain getting in my way

(2X)
Hey just get over yourself
This thing is to good for you help
Hey just get over yourself

Girl you got me tripping on sunshine
God knows you just made my day
Since you came around, no
I just can't slow down, no
I wanna see you walk in my walk

Girl you got me thinking about diving
And get down on one knee, maybe two
People may stop and stare, but
I don't even care, no
Just as long as I'm with you

You got me running on sunshine
Ain't no clouds in my know
I must be running on sunshine
Ain't no rain getting in my way

You got me running on sunshine
Ain't no rain getting in my way
I must be running on sunshine
Ain't no rain getting in my way

(6X)
No doubt, no doubt about it
And there ain't no clouds in my sky

Follow Through

I have known of Gavin DeGraw for awhile and probably have heard a song or two and not known it - but passed it on the iPod this morning and decided to stop and listen. Quite happy I did too because I like it. :-) The first song I heard was "Follow Through" and it is possible I like it best, but I am not sure. "(Nice to Meet You) Anyway" is also good (listening to that one now).

All the lyrics are sort of mushy - like in a "I am singing to appeal to the ladies" sort of way - and well, I am a chick so that might be why I like it. But it has that laid back - easy-to-listen-to - thing going on.

Lyrics:

Follow Through

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
(For) you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you'll have to follow through
With every word you say
An I, all I really want is you (For) you to stick around
I'll see everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
