lyrics

Allison, for heaven's sake, say goodnight
And when you wake, make the day what you want it to be

Allison, what's on your mind? I hope only happy thoughts
For when you rise, you could cause a surprise
So when you wake, make the day what you want it to be

We make our way, we break our way, we fake our way, possibly
With a little faith, positive brain wave goes a long long way
Try and see
We make our way, we break our way, we fake our way, possibly
With a little faith, positive brain wave goes a long long way
Try and see

Allison, we can't wait for you to make our day

Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat. Michelle May
