Slowly learning that life is okay...
Say after me:

All's good: that starts, well I cruise with the sun.
So needless to say,
I'm odds and ends,
I'm being (SCREAM, SCREAM-SCREAM-SCREAM) (I'm being taken away.)/[I'll be stumbling away.]
Today's another day to find you;
Life goes away.
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
Some years (I)/[can] [make] (a lesson)/(a lesson,) my number one.
All's good: that starts (while)/(when) I cruise with the sun.
Some years (I)/[can] [make] (a lesson)/(a lesson,) my number one.
All's good: that starts (when)/(, well) I cruise with the sun.
