I'm Doing Everything (For You)

from Hello, Good Friend. by The Rocket Summer

lyrics

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-do you ever do a thing or two just to wait?
When you don't have anything to say?
I'll try to take this slow, but I don't know... 'cus I d-d-d-d-d-don't wanna wait for time to look good for the folks who try to say that we "don't know until were old, 'cus that's how it goes" but I think I know oh oh oh oh, Please pick me I'm a terrible mess, You know I just can't help it and I just gotta confess, You do what you do and I can't ever rest.
So still I'm gonna do everything, I'm gonna make it right,
I'm gonna make it good, I'm gonna do it alright,
I'm gonna write it down, I'm gonna make a sound... yeah...

'Cus I'm doing everything for you because I love to be near to you,
something just takes me away to a place where I'm happy.
I'm doing everything for you, yeah you know that I adore you and I just can't take it anymore... oh,oh, 'cus you know I gotta know...
So I'll be making up things for you to see like romantic lights surrounding Italy, 'cus you deserve the very best, and I'll never rest,
so I'll be sure to pass that test.
And I just smile and say 'woah' 'cus you just gotta know
that every time you stay it never goes away
It reaches to the stars and shines right through the clouds and lights up this whole world. Bless your heart you've made me happy again,
It's been so long and I'm sick of pretending.
You've enlightened the brain in my head So still I'm gonna do everything, I'm gonna make it right,
I'm gonna make it good, I'm gonna do it alright,
I'm gonna write it down, I'm gonna make a sound...
'Cus I'm doing everything for you because I love to be near to you,
something just takes me away to a place where I'm happy.
I'm doing everything for you, yeah you know that I adore you and I just can't take it!
Cause I don't wanna wait for another day cause I can feel this is right,
I don't wanna make this go on for too much longer,
Cause you've got a ring-less finger, and I could go buy a ring right now... well, actually I don't have any money but that's ok, cause I can figure it out...
I'm doing everything for you because I love to be near to you,
something just takes me away to a place where I'm happy.
I'm doing everything for you, yeah you know that I adore you and I just can't take it anymore...
