It starts with a feeling like this
Like breathlessness from a kiss
Drowning in all that I know
The urge just to panic is old
Breaking my rules from inside
I’ve got to get rid of this pride
The universe lays out a plan
Hold on as tight as you can
Simon says it’ll be aurrite
Mother says it will be aurrite, be aurrite
Marvel at things of the age
And remember to be amazed
With happiness never assured
Keep thinking it’s only the world
Placing my bets on aurrite
Going all out on aurrite, aurrite
The memories are spread on the floor
Sit in the middle unsure
Play the old records I know
And dance ‘till the coffee is cold
Gamble my sure things on luck
Break all the rules by the book
Reach for the stars in the sky
Or reach for the dream in my mind
I believe it will be aurrite
All the imminent signs point to aurrite
The magic 8 ball says it will be aurrite
It’s looking like a beautiful day it’s gonna be aurrite
Be aurrite
