Letra de Song for a Friend (Live at Montalvo Arts Center, Saratoga, CA, 2006)
Well, you're magic, he said But don't let it all go to your head Well, I bet if you all had it all figured out Then you'd never get out of bed And no doubt Of all the things that I've read, what he wrote me Is now sounding like the man I was hoping to be I keep on keeping it real 'Cause it keeps getting easier, indeedHe's the reason that I'm laughing Even if there's no one else He said that you've got to love yourself Yes you do, yes you do, yeahHe says you shouldn't mumble when you speak But keep your tongue up in your cheek And if you stumble on to something better Remember that it's humble that you seek You got all the skill you need, individuality You got something Call it gumption, call it anything you wantBecause when you play the fool now You're only fooling everyone else You're learning to love yourself You're learning to love, you are it's true, all true, that it's all youThere's no price to pay, oh no When you give it what you take That's why it's easy to thank you, you I'm thankin' you For what you do, thankin' all of youLet's say, take a break from the day And get back to the old garage Because life's too short anyway But at least it's better than average As long as you got me and I got you You know we'll have a lot to go around I'll be your friend, your other brother Another love to come and comfort youAnd I'll keep reminding If it's the only thing that I ever do I will always love you You, you, you I will always love you It's you, it's you, it's you that I love It's you that I love, love, la-la-love It's you I love it's you It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love It's you I love, it's true I love its true, it's you I love Ooh, it's you I loveI wish the wild was a love like you I wish the wind would blow me through Another opportunity to approach you Another telepathic rendezvous I wish you well with your weapons of jargon You got a double-sided lexiconI gotta try to keep your attention Gotta write using less emoticons Gotta figure out the snooze alarm I wanna lay in your place 'til dawn I wanna play in your park come on, now Let me see the other upper echelonIt's you I love It's you I love It's you I loveSay, hold your own And know your own name Go your own way Just hold your own And know your own name Go your own way It's easy, to hold your own And go your own way And know your own nameClimb up over the top Save yourself for the moment You've got to find out for yourself Whether or not you're truly trying Why not give it a shot? Shake it, take control And inevitably wind up finding for yourself All the strengths that you have inside are still risingClimb up over the top Survey the state of your soul You've got to find out for yourself Whether or not you're truly trying Why not give it a shot? Shake it, take control Inevitably wind up finding for yourself All the strengths that you have inside are still risingClimb up over the top Survey survey the state of your soul You've got to find out for yourself W-wether or not you're true It's you I love, oh, it's you I love, whoa It's you I love, I love, I love, I love and I loveSay, climb up over the top Survey the state of your soul You've got to find out for yourself Whether or not you're truly trying Why not give it a shot? Shake it, take control Inevitably wind up finding for yourself All the strengths that you have inside of youThere's my good friend, Mr. Marion Aquilina, on the guitar I need some lights in the house, please Safety goggles may be required for this portion of the show On the keyboards, Mr. Eric Hinojosa is with us Bew, right there On the bass, Mr. Ian Sheridan, all up in this placeBoo, whoa, right atcha On the drums, Mr. Adam King, the King of England Right there, whoa And of course, Mr. Toca Rivera, dot-com, droppin' bombs Wooh Thank you guys so much, my name is Jason Mraz, I've had a heck of a time
