It was a Sunday and we were in bed, Coffee and Conversation
The sun was shining through the window it was time for a change
“Look at those clouds, they’re beautiful. It looks like California”
Pack your bags babe, and throw me the keys.
She sang: Sha La La La La La La La
Aww, Dancin’ in the room she sang
Sha La La La La La La La
We drove for hours until we hit the coast, the sky opened up with rain.
She got out and smiled and said follow me.
And we played around for hours what seemed like a lifetime,
The sun broke through the clouds and started to shine
And we fell in love again, and fell in the sea.
Chorus-
Bridge
And these are the days that you fall in love for.
When nothing else in the world matters
And just thought of them can make you smile
And turn your life around. Yeah yeah
Chorus

I was watchin’ the morning news, looks like you’re gonna have to choose
Between sitting in traffic for an hour, or joining me in the shower.
Why don’t you take off those works clothes, kick your shoes off, heaven knows,
You deserve yourself a hooky day, Stay home with me and Play
(Pre-Chorus)
Give me the phone and let me call your work and tell em’ your just fine.
I’ll tell your boss I’m sorry, but today, you’re all mine all mine.
(Chorus)
Stay Home and Play Stay Home and…. Play
Stay Home and Play Stay Home and …Play
We could spend the day under the sheets, watch some movies and order Chinese.
Or we could take a drive to nowhere, feel the wind blowing through your hair.
We could people watch, just to make fun, get a 6 pack and soak up the sun
Or we could lock the doors and kiss the day away, c’mon Stay Home with me and Play
Pre Chorus
Chorus
The paper says it’s dangerous to get to work, you know I wouldn’t lie.,
Don’t think that I’m making this, cause I just might save your life.
Chorus. Double out

I'm In

She puts her feet on me and I lose my damn mind
I think it might be more, than just sexual this time.
Her words amaze me, her eyes just faze me her smiles so good it hurts
And I can’t contain, I can’t explain it, this crush is getting worse.
Chorus
So take me with you, wherever you want me to go
Fly me up to Heaven or drag me to Hell down below. Just Know
Whatever it is… I’m In, I’m In
She kisses my back and I forget my name
I know it’s different, cause I can feel she feels the same way
Her words amaze me her eyes just faze me, her body’s so good it hurts
I can’t deny it, but I don’t mind it, this crush is getting worse
Chorus
Bridge
Well I’m In this with all that I know, cause I can’t see to tell you No,
And I’m in this for good or bad, cause you’re just the best I’ve ever had
Chorus
