Doo doo doo doo doo doot doot Doo doo doo doo doo doot doot I want to ride my bicycle today My mind wanders to her through those months of gray She’s made for adventure, not made to be locked inside Looking at dull garage walls and tucked off to the side And she says I long to feel the dirt on the trail To be jostled on the roots and the rocks I wanna feel the shock run through my frame I need to taste the sweet forest air again Doo doo doo doo doo doot doot Doo doo doo doo doo doot doot The mud she holds dear like the trail to my heart Every piece of me aches for her when we’re apart She’s made for excursions complete with a rack and a bell The perfect companion with plenty of stories to tell And she says I long to feel the dirt on the trail To be jostled on the roots and the rocks I wanna feel the shock run through my frame I need to taste the sweet forest air again I need to taste the sweet forest air again And the winter it's cold (and the days seem so long) Let the snow melt away (before too long) Let the sun dry the land I will wait until then, mmm I need to taste the sweet forest air again Doo doo doo doo doo doot doot Doo doo doo doo doo doot doot I want to ride my bicycle today I want to ride my bicycle today I want to ride my bicycle today I want to ride my bicycle today My mind wanders to her through those months of gray My mind wanders to her through those months of gray I wanna ride, I wanna ride my bicycle today I wanna ride, I wanna ride my bicycle today

I wanna be a tightrope walker, Walkin’ above life on a wire. And nothing but the wind could touch me. Just me up there with the sky. I wanna be a tightrope walker. It’d be an interesting way of life. So what if it's not a typical job, I think it would bring me joy. Oh tightrope walkin’ is not a job, it’s just something you do in your spare time. Like singin’ or dancin’ or painting pictures so you might as well not try. I wanna be a dolphin trainer, Splashin’ around with them all day. And all the crowds would come to watch us. Flipping, diving, making waves. I wanna be a dolphin trainer It’d be an interesting way of life. So what if it’s not a typical job. I think it would bring me joy. Oh dolphin training is not a job, it’s just something you do in your spare time. Like singin’ or dancin’ or painting pictures so you might as well not try. I wanna be a spirit hunter. Use EVP to catch a disembodied voice. Investigate the paranormal, Find out what happens after life. I wanna be a spirit hunter. It’d be an interesting way of life. So what if it’s not a typical job. I think it would bring me joy. Oh spirit hunting is not a job, it’s just something you do in your spare time. Like singin’ or dancin’ or painting pictures so you might as well not try. Oh tightrope walkin’ is not a job, it’s just something you do in your spare time. Like singin’ or dancin’ or painting pictures so you might as well not try. Oh you might as well not try. NO! You might as well just try!

Up to You 02:52
Imagine all the places you’ll go If you just decide where you want to roam Picture all the people you will meet When you resolve to get up on your feet You can be anything that you wanna be You can go anywhere. You wanna see? Any dream that you dream can surely come true WHO you are is up to you HOW you are is up to you Think of all the roads you’ll go down Put on a smile and lose that frown! Think of all the laughter to be had When you choose happy over sad You can’t help what others say or what they do Happy is a choice. It’s up to you. No one gets rich with a poor attitude Imagine all the sights you will see Stop picking red and go with green Think of all the music you could hear Please just open up your ears!
