311 Uplifter Lyrics
1.Hey You

You've changed your tune
many times since we've met
But I'll always recognize you
You are part of me
I feel you
Whether in Jamaica or in the Angel city
You're such a gift to me

Hey you
I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
and the good times that we spend

Hey you
You're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I'm saying
and we've just begun

I've got one wish
for this music to be an uplift
and I need an uplift to deal
there are few songs all the people can sing along, one song
come along and sing it for real

Hey you
I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
and the good times that we spend

Hey you
You're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I'm saying
and we've just begun

As I wander around
Town to town
Lost and found
When so many others come and go
The sweetness pulls me through

Hey you
I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
and the good times that we spend

Hey you
You're my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I'm saying
and we've just begun

Hey you
You never turned your back on me
when I gave up on myself

Hey you
You never turned your back on me
when I gave upon myself

Hey you
What would the world be like
without you around
Music
You're my constant companion


2.It's Alright

Stay with me
Here with me
Right in this instant
Not in the distance

When your head is off in future time
That's the place when things get out of line
Taking in this moment
Your time is so well spent

It's alright
Wherever you are right now
I tell you
It's alright
That's who you're supposed to be now

Stay with me
Here with me
Right in this instant
Not in the distance

Standing at a crossroads
I was at a lost roads
Temporary moments
Pleasures that are stolen
Here in the present
Your time is so well spent

It's alright
Wherever you are right now
I tell you
It's alright
That's who you're supposed to be now
That's who you're supposed to be now

A song
One song
Could end a war
Could end a war
(So round we go)
A song
One song
Could end a war
Could end a war

It's alright
Wherever you are right now
I tell you
It's alright
That's who you're supposed to be now
It's alright
Wherever you are right now
I tell you
It's alright
That's who you're supposed to be now
That's who you're supposed to be now


3.Mix It Up

You take a little bit of me
And a whole lot of you
Add it up together
And here's what you're gonna do
You gotta mix it up quick
And it'll blow up on this spot
I got a tell ya' that the place is getting hot

Now mix it up
Uh just mix it up
What the sum of all the parts
When you add it up
Make much more than what you had
I tell you what
It's like mad
The baddest thing that you've ever had, uh

I was never too good at math anyway
But when you add it up it comes out more I have to say
A lot of people looking for what you and me have found
And now it seems no one's around, uh

A little bit of me
And a whole lot of you
Add it up together
And here's what you're gonna do
You gotta mix it up quick
And it'll blow up on this spot
I got a tell ya' that the place is getting hot

Now mix it up
Uh just mix it up
What the sum of all the parts
When you add it up
Make much more than what you had
I tell you what
It's like mad
The baddest thing that you've ever had

We're just too misfits
That no one else gets
Everyone else in the place
Became a silhouette
Soon as there was you
It all comes in view
On my guitar
I see those sparks
When we have those conversations in the dark

I was never too good at math anyway
But when you add it up it comes out more I have to say
A lot of people looking for what you and me have found
And now it seems no one's around

A little bit of me
And a whole lot of you
Add it up together
And here's what you're gonna do
You gotta mix it up quick
And it'll blow up on this spot
I got a tell ya' that the place is getting hot

Now mix it up
Uh just mix it up
What the sum of all the parts
When you add it up
Make much more than what you had
I tell you what
It's like mad
The baddest thing that you've ever had

We're just too misfits
That no one else gets
Everyone else in the place
Became a silhouette
Soon as there was you
It all comes in view
On my guitar
I see those sparks
When we have those conversations in the dark


4.Golden Sunlight

Hand over hand
I crawl back to land
There is no retreat
That option's far and away
I have to be brave
But I always did crave
The golden sunlight
It's been about me
But I'm setting that free
For golden sunlight, oh

There's a door open to walk through
All I want is just beyond
What if I could let my guard down
Into freedom, on and on

Somehow it came out
When I can't talk about
Someone to help me
As free as I wanna be
I cannot erase
But you helped me face
The songs and the flowers
At last perception
Of my self deception
The songs and the flowers, oh

There's a door open to walk through
All I want is just beyond
What if I could let my guard down
Into freedom, on and on

What if I could just let my guard down
What if I could live wide open, yeah
What if I could just let my guard down
And go beyond into the great unknown

Sweetheart, I've been bothered
I go a sun lit path
A bit after
Grass sues wild flowers
Sharp road trails
For a daughter
I want to be her father
I want to hear her laughter
Under meteor showers
The dogs will howl at the midnight hour

There's a door open to walk through
All I want is just beyond
What if I could let my guard down
Into freedom, on and on

What if I could just let my guard down
What if I could live wide open, yeah
What if I could just let my guard down
And go beyond into the great unknown


5.India Ink

I write your name on my arm with India ink
Baby I told you once before it's not what you think
I drink it in with a sip
But I really want to chug
You know I take what I can get
Give me a dub, now

So good, so good
Come on now, I wish you would
Anytime I get together
Get to feeling like I could

I write your name on my arm with India ink
Baby I told you once before it's not what you think
I drink it in with a sip
But I really want to chug
You know I take what I can get
Give me a dub, now

So good, so good
Come on now, I wish you would
Anytime I get together
Get to feeling like I could

Woah are you with me
Woah are you with me
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me

I write your name on my arm with India ink
Baby I told you once before it's not what you think
I drink it in with a sip
But I really want to chug
You know I take what I can get
Give me a dub, now

You're even cuter when you get crossed
Just stamp on your foot and try to be the boss
I write your name on my arm with India Ink
I'm hanging on every word cause the way that you think
Yes every misstep well it led me to you
I'll do what I got to do to see it through

If you see shooting stars
Celebrate with a kiss
Won't have to wait far
When no one will ever miss

Woah are you with me
Woah are you with me
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me


I'd carve my name on my arm
But you'd be alarmed
That I did it
I admit it
A big swing and a miss
So I'll keep my distance
Back in it
In a minute

Woah are you with me
Woah are you with me
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me

Woah are you with me (name on my arm with India ink)
Woah are you with me (told you once before it's not what you
think)
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me
(Name on my arm with India ink, baby I told you once before
it's)


6.Daisy Cutter

I tried to move with a cool hand
It didn't go as I planned
I'm full of rookie maneuvers
And gestures meant to be grand
I pulled a bag of tricks
One after the other
I asked if you heard of my band

So misguided
The sincere approach
Never tried it once
You said to just drop the game flat
Why didn't I think of that

My daisy
You make me go crazy
Forever amaze me
Now let's let the day go lazy
My daisy
You know what I'm after
You're musical laughter
A more beautiful disaster

I can't believe what you create
When you let your heart detonate
You let your mind go with one blast and another
And what comes next I will await, mmm hmm

Tell me again the one about the time
We first got together and you blew my mind
I find my mind in the gutter
When I think of my daisy cutter

My daisy
You make me go crazy
Forever amaze me
Now let's let the day go lazy
My daisy
You know what I'm after
You're musical laughter
A more beautiful disaster

It's four months now
Since you crashed into my life
To my life
You leave a path of delightful distruction
You're quite the bomb

My daisy
Oh

Just clap your hands
Get down to the beat
Just clap your hands
Just clap your hands to the beat

Daisy
You make me go crazy
Forever amaze me
Now let's let the day go lazy
My daisy
You know what I'm after
You're musical laughter
A more beautiful disaster

My daisy
You know just what I'm after
You make my heart beat so much faster
My daisy
You know you drive me crazy
You just throw me away
My daisy


7.Too Much Too Fast

Rifling through the pictures of you
I can finally tell
They develop well
The tale I see
It tells my favorite story
Of friction and glory

Breaking the cast
Repeating the past
It's not written
That's all just fiction
Oh, who says it's written in stone

It's been a long time
Oh, such a long time
Finding my way all back out, woah
Somehow you stood by
Beyond when you should die
I'm amazed at how things have turned out, oh

What is revealed
What is concealed
It makes all the difference
Say what you will
We unreeled that human web
Just to see how it feels

Too much too fast
For the moment to last
I tumbled to you
While stumbling through
How do I get my head off of the tracks
Listening for a train, ah
Cause that's just no way to live
I got so much love to give
Much too fast, oh

Out of the blue
It all comes in view
You never win
If you don't go all in
The perfect hand
Can go just as you planned
I don't understand

Began right on track
Slipped through the cracks
We were two of a kind
Who were destined to find
We unreeled that human web
Just to see how it feels

Too much too fast
For the moment to last
I tumbled to you
While stumbling through
How do I get my head off of the tracks
Listening for a train, ah
Cause that's just no way to live
I got so much love to give
Much too fast, oh

So much love to give
Too much too fast
So much love to give
Too much too fast
Got so much love to give
Too much too fast
So much love to give
Too much too fast


8.Never Ending Summer

Come down 311
Mash up the place

Three eleven
Three three eleven
Three eleven
Three three eleven
Three eleven
Three three eleven
Three eleven
Three three eleven

I tell you what I like
This moment of unity
When there's no distance
In between you and me
I got to stop
When it becomes us and them
Need an enemy for ego to win

These are the good ole days
I don't care what they have to say
These are the good ole days
All together now

So tell me can this all be real

Finding to a dance to be a coincidence
I don't think you got to let go of common sense
Can this all be real
Right now

We do it all the time
From Tokyo Bay to the little Five Points
Keep on blazing a trail
Keep on rocking the joints

Hanging out with my friends
We're traveling
Out and about
Good times that we're having it's
Harmonic bliss when we all are synchronized
Something got to see with your eyes

These are the good ole days
I don't care what they have to say
These are the good ole days
All together now

So tell me can this all be real

Finding to a dance to be a coincidence
I don't think you got to let go of common sense
Can this all be real
Right now

9.Two Drops In The Ocean

Thinking of you
It all comes in view
I believe we came from the same cloud
Two drops in the ocean

Tell me again
The story of when we
We will be
Together one day

We're two of a kind
Forever we've been combined
Though the current will pull us apart
Two drops in the ocean

You are part of me
The other side of the sea
And we will be
Together one day

Hey hey what can I say
I swim your way
Though the tide pulled us away
I ask you
What you gonna do
Oceans apart
But I know no one else will do
Two drops in the ocean
Just go with the motion dear

We'll meet again
From two rivers
The delta to shore
Two drops in the ocean

If all you need
It's all in the sea
The boundaries between
They are nothing
The love we have
The only real fling yeah

There is a stone wall
Around your heart
Nothing left now to do
But to start
Chipping away
Day by day
Until we see it break apart
Hear me talking about
Let it be known
It can be done
Bit by bit
And one by one
If the two of us trial
From both the two sides
Until we see the sun
You're phenomenal

Two drops in the ocean
Just go with the motion
A lot of fish in the sea
Not for me
You're something of a different kind
The rest still have a ray
But you stay in my mind


There is a stone wall
Around your heart
Nothing left now to do
But to start
Chipping away
Day by day
Until we see it break apart
Hear me talking about
Let it be known
It can be done
Bit by bit
And one by one
If the two of us trial
From both the two sides
Until we see the sun
You're phenomenal

Hey hey what can I say
I swim your way
Though the tide pulled us away
I ask you
What you gonna do
Oceans apart
But I know no one else will do
Two drops in the ocean
Just go with the motion dear


10.Something Out Of Nothing

We are the wind and the sea
Sun reflected you to me
We are the moon and the stars
Darkness hiding mystical heart
We have just begun
The dreams, the nightmares of everyone
We are mysterious things
Eternal, perpetual, and ending

The ending, the middle, and the big bang
We are the zero and one

How we got here
Overcoming obstacles

Right about now it's about that time

Not in anger, but in danger of calling you
My mind's a long, long way from ?
And now the good times just keep drifting back in, woah

Breathe it on out the end will come so freely
You'll figure it out the answer will come so clearly dear

That is what you do
A melody that will settle me
That is just the thought of you
My heart sings and it's time you knew, yeah

Let's sit on the shore, watch the ocean breathe
