Thank you for the laughter, thank you for the smiles Thank you for the memories, thank you for it all Thank you for the music, thank you for the applause Thank you for making me who I am, thank you for it all I feel like I belong here, I've known it all along You're my second family, this is my second home I don't know what the future holds, but that's all right with me I cannot think of any place that I would rather be

Willow 03:15
There is a willow grows aslant a brook That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream There with fantastic garlands did she come And fell in the weeping brook Her clothes spread wide And mermaid-like a while they bore her up Which time she chanted snatches of old lauds As one incapable of her own distress Or like a creature native and indued Unto that element But long it could not be 'Til that her garments, heavy with their drink Pulled the poor wretch from her melodious lay To muddy death Sing willow, willow, willow Sing willow, willow, willow Too much of water hast thou poor Ophelia And therefore I forbid my tears My mother had a maid called Barbara She was in love and he she loved proved mad And did forsake her She had a song of willow An old thing 'twas But it expressed her fortune and she died singing it That song tonight will not go from my mind "Sing all a green willow"

It wouldn't be as hard to do The things I have been asked to do If you weren't yourself If you were someone else Your talent is remarkable Your patience is commendable I ask too much of you I ask too much of you It's not that I don't like you But I know that I'm not right for you And I can't seem to see you Quite the way that I'm supposed to We were just thrown together But I'd walk through stormy weather And find someplace, wherever We didn't have to be together We shouldn't be together If I knew how to talk to you If I could find a way to you Would we see eye to eye? I'm glad this time you tried It's good to hear your voice today But I can't find a way to say "I love you" when I don't "I love you" but I don't I can't allow myself to entertain The idea of finding you To be the one I want I don't know what I want But I know that it isn't you I can't give you that chance

You know it's time for me to take a break Fifteen minutes is all you'll have to wait Go stretch your legs so you can stay awake

We sit inside, enjoying our comfort The storm is blowing, could we be hurt? We like to think we'll never be hurt The storms have always passed us by We don't think that we could ever die So we just sit on our asses Looking through rose-colored glasses And when we're caught unaware We'll wish we had been prepared We keep our family close and secure So if there's any danger we have to endure At least we'll be together, and then we're sure That we know their fate Even if it is too late When the bridges are down and we've fallen off the grid We won't want to be separated I've got to stay and hope for a few more quiet years I can't leave my life behind when all my friends are staying here I hope we can make it through 'Cause I don't know what else to do Will we keep sitting on our asses Looking through rose-colored glasses?

I'm glad you're here, I'm glad you have come home I don't know why you actually came home But that's okay, I do not have to know Just what made you decide that you would come back home This piece of tape is stapled to the wall I don't know why it's stapled to the wall But that's okay, I do not have to know Just why this piece of tape is stapled to the wall Don't ask me why I took off my right shoe I don't know why I took off my right shoe But that's okay, I do not have to know Or is that even right? Maybe it was the left I think it was the left shoe, yes it was the left
