"All these planets around me. It's you I gravitate to."

[Intro]

"I am your canvas. Paint what you want."

Earth

[Verse 1]

Please have a seat and let the show begin

I hope I leave you clapping 'til the very end

There's so much I gotta tell when should I press send?

Welcome to the canvas, make sure you grab a pen

Did I even think twice before i wrote this song

Here comes a million reasons you should sing along

In actuality I'm practically against gravity

I have to be

She's beautiful and likes to nap with me

And she's got dark hair

Your black outfits are never fair

They make me daydream

Fantasize about that hazel stare

Swear it's the small things

These words are roses by the stairs

Do you even care?

[Chorus]

I'm your canvas, paint me what you want me to

Nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for you

I'm your canvas, baby it's all up to you

Let me show that all the stars are meant for you

[Verse 2]

Did I even think twice before I wrote this song?

here comes a million reasons you should sing along

In actuality I'm practically against gravity

I have to be, she's beautiful and likes to nap with me

And she's got dark hair

Your black outfits are never fair

They make me daydream

Fantasizing about that hazel stare

It's all the small things

These words are roses by the stairs

Do you even care?

I swear to earth I listen

We dancing to the same rhythm

I'll meet you at the top

Where the flowers grow and love is given

[Chorus]

I'm your canvas, paint me what you want me to

Nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for you

I'm your canvas, baby it's all up to you

Let me show that all the stars are meant for you

[Verse 3]

If I didn't let my mind wander

These thoughts would be so lost

Maybe I'm born this way?

But I remember things he forgot

Like that time we went for space

The water brushed against the pages

Half the time I looked at you

Could have sat there for ages

Yeah I'm having a moment

This my album but you own it

It's a shame they don't like art

Setting me and them apart

I love it though, you now?

I'd put you on the wall

The pillow to my right should be your home

Every time we get away

I'm safe enough to be alone

Your front door is a waterfall

There's treasure underneath

Higher than Bennie in those jets

I take a leap and fall asleep

[Chorus]

I'm your canvas, paint me what you want me to

Nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for you

I'm your canvas, baby it's all up to you

Let me show that all the stars are meant for you

Mars

[Verse 1]

Cold air keeps blowing through my journal pages

She looks just like a full moon, going through her many phases

I've got a crescent smile

Today I feel brand new

Life is just a trial

But it's something you and me could do

If that's the case, why am I alone?

My friends are right here with me

inner peace and envy

Which one do I listen to?

The crossroads are coming back to me

Tell me what I should be

Upside-down fork in the road

I'm holding on like a rosary

Driving with no road signs

I get so crossed it's hard to see

My devotion, to calm waters in the ocean, is a fallacy

Come and ride with me

Red roses and broken bones

Neo-classic romance movie

Look at how I hold my own

[Chorus]

These are the days that I know

When the stars are dancing in my soul

And sometimes mars is so cold

In time and space I've lost control

Can you take me home?

When will I get back home?

[Verse 2]

Now that you and I are grown

I could call you on the phone

What you mean she's not home?

Leave a message at the tone

Ain't it funny how we reap what's sown

Is it sad that your pictures on my phone?

I still miss you, oh about that

We could work and be lazy like a housecat

Or like a mousetrap,

I'm gonna get you back

Get in the car, 'cause I'm looking for a new tat

Let's stop for coffee, I like mine black

Do you love me?

Are you mine now?

Mars is such a pretty place to find out

[Chorus]

These are the days that I know

When the stars are dancing in my soul

And sometimes mars is so cold

In time and space I've lost control

Can you take me home?

When will I get back home?

[Chorus]

These are the days that I know

When the stars are dancing in my soul

And sometimes mars is so cold

In time and space I've lost control

Can you take me home?

When will I get back home?

Venus

[Verse 1]

She's the water to my oasis, come to drink all the time

Even in my dreams, I can't believe you're so fine

The sunshine wakes me at a quarter to nine

Interrupting when I'm touching, 'cause your soul is divine

Sometimes I feel your energy like all the time

Walking up and down your city like its mine

Girl I hope I don't get lost around this rhyme

Your fragrance is a killer and it's getting me high

It's kind of iconic and ironic

thins thing we had went supersonic

Ready to pack your bags, don't forget the gin and tonic

I hate to watch you leave, wouldn't be the first

The problem is I love you, that's why this feeling hurts

I show no remorse over a four course of golden horse

Medallions of a stallion, I sit there but I am cursed

She's looking at me like 'us together?'

Shit it could be worse

I'm looking back at venus always, so can I be the first?

Guy who's not the worst?

I'll say it now I don't rehearse

Love her so much that it hurts

Don't feel sorry its just a verse

Praying one day I'll be fine

Together you and I hope it works

[Chorus]

Walking bare foot though the oasis

Smiling in the mirror cause I see our faces

In the finest furs,

Sipping pinot-noir

Tell me you love me, get in the car

Your city ain’t far, so I‘m down with it

Soon as step through the door, I’m out of it

I’m in your world now

Boy go ahead and drown in it

[Verse 2]

Her lips are so much sweeter

Than these girls who wanna be her

She's unusual and I'm mesmerized

I find it strange to compromise

With anyone who don't love like her

These sweet thoughts of mine do not deter

So I think about it philosopher

All the things I'd say to her

Writing tomorrow in this dark room

I want you like a tattoo

She's perfect like a falling star

One day I'll just catch you

My eyes are tired of this computer

I want you next to me sooner

Like the tides need their lunar

Sail on your ocean with my schooner

[Chorus]

Walking bare foot though the oasis

Smiling in the mirror cause I see our faces

In the finest furs,

Sipping pinot-noir

Tell me you love me, get in the car

Your city ain’t far, so I‘m down with it

Soon as step through the door, I’m out of it

I’m in your world now

Boy go ahead and drown in it

Mercury

[Verse 1]

There's snowflakes falling from the sky today

No one told that the sun had gone to hide away

Sometimes I wonder if things had gone another way

If the beaches were sunny, then you wanna stay?

There's a heaven on earth I'm far away from it

I put a lot of my self in these words I transmit

There's aliens in my cabin and its a tight fit

We staring at the moon, hoping an asteroid hit

My computer tells me there a lot of pressure

For a man and his successor

Doing everything you can to impress her

It's not a stressor when her pictures on the dresser

Light a candle on the mantle

Not a test that she can't handle

You know this though I've been over it

Depression couldn't take over him

He's got heart he's not gonna quit

Black and white and with a purple trim

I'm here now but I'm far away

Our voices can join another day

Now I'm hearing you, are you listening?

This journey we're on means everything

Does our relationship have a half-life?

Love isn't just a verb, it's bad strife

Sometimes mercury doesn't kill you outright

The upside down can save you from a bad night

A gift for my valentine, tell me do you like?

Hold that thought while I fly into the sunlight

[Outro]

No air what should I do?

I still get butterflies sitting next to you

Look at us both so grown up and adult

They told me to leave you I probably won't

I just wanna hold you and spin you around

Put my head on your lap, don't put me down

Couple of years I almost forgot

How much I hated our ending and I miss you a lot

Guess I'll save it for another time

Enjoy these words about a friend of mine

A love like hers is hard to find

Thought about flowers but here's something different

It's your epic song, recitation for a visit

Canvas.

End of Part 1.
