80’s Movie

by Michael Berns

I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Something with Cusack or the Breakfast Club
I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Have my detention with Molly and Judd
Win the K-12 on only one ski
Thanks Curtis Armstrong

I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Destroy the Death Star beat a Cobra Kai
I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Drink from the Holy Grail and never die
Dr. Jones for adventure
Action goes with Arnold and Sly

I think my life should be an 80’s movie
If I was only smooth as Bob McGraw
I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Steal a Ferrari and go to the game
With Cameron, my girl, on a day we're putting Rooney to shame

Or maybe I'll roll like a big shot and buy some good stock from one man Bud Fox
From baseball a phone call
I would have a happy ending from Brewster's spending
I’ll win my bet against the Dukes
One dollar Valentine
Get my car up to eighty-eight before I’m outta time

I think my life should be an 80’s movie
My brother Raymond taking us for a drive
I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Say hi like Maverick in an inverted dive
You lost that lovin feeling I crashed and burned the first time

I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Call Peter Venkman he'll be catching your ghost
I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Where Michael Keaton is the juice with the most
Freddy Benson I'll teach you 'bout wines
Gonna show you the ropes

I think my life should be an 80s movie
Have Gabi D'Arc and her sisters around
I think my life should be an 80s movie
To have a teacher I can say is profound
Mr. Keating "Oh Captain My Captain" learning underground

Or maybe, just once I, could have lines Jack Jericho knows, that read
like good prose
From mailrooms to boardrooms on your way like Brantley Foster, but
almost lost her
Until I raise my stereo up there
But only in your eyes

I’ll put my stereo up there
But only in your eyes

I think my life should be an 80’s Movie!

Summer

by Michael Berns

With a name like summer
You know she had it all from head to toe
The only one they noticed at the show
Attracting crowd attention where she go

and me
Breaking up my good policy
A girl like somebody from my business
Both heads on my shoulder said no
No no no no

Summer's gonna heat things up
When even though you know it's gonna leave me down
Her sweet voice is taking over the town
And everybody's after her

After the show
She's giving me enough of a window
Hoping that it ends in a crescendo
Said it would be nice to be there
Right over there

Then we groove
To a beat that they all turned down
Heard it moving all around
And then I can't take it any more now
'Cause

Summer's gonna heat things up
When even though you know it's gonna leave me down
Her sweet voice is taking over the town
And everybody's after her

'Course I've seen it all before
Was warned a million times
It's only in your eyes

I'm telling you now
This is how it's going to be
I'm telling you now
She's coming for all that I see

The Way We Came

by Michael Berns

I look at the road all afternoon
Been driving so far we could reach the moon
I’m betting we’re losing our way
But I’m not going back the way we came

So give me the map, which way to go?
All of the hot sand seemed to turn to snow
I’m betting we’re losing our way
But I’m not going back the way we came

Unless we share the blame

It was so right for so long
I say we still go on
We got so close don’t give up
X marks the spot on this one

Is that the same place we passed before
We made a wrong turn by the bedroom door
No stopping has led us astray
But there’s no going back the way we came
Already lit the flame
Softly saying your name
Gonna play this crazy game

It was so right for so long
I say we still go on
We got so close, don’t give up
X marks the spot on this one

Was so right so long
I still say we go on
Still say we go on
Got so far so long
I say, I say we still go

Can’t believe you’d stop
When you know this time is not uncertain to end up at this spot
I look around and it’s you with a view of the world
And everything that I really wanted to see now

So here we are, broken down
Decide. What are we gonna do?
I say we still
I say we still should go on
Wh-oa, oo-oh, oo-oh oh

Better Than Sunshine

by Michael Berns

Better than sunshine you seem to light up the room
Glistening suddenly everything is in bloom
But before I let my heart's beating resume
There's just one more thing that I shouldn't assume
You aren't looking for a superstar
Any profession puts me on your radar
It's what your looking for but can't you see that
That would be easy that would be easy

(chorus)

Better than sunshine you make me feel alive
Without your sunshine I don't think I'll survive
I'm on a rainy cloud searching for the light
Better than sunshine your so fine

You've got plans what's your name would you like to hang out
Found it all in your heart all I need is the route
Cause you know that these feelings were never in doubt
Next time you see me I will clear up the drought
I keep it real this ain't no fantasy game
Love's all I need and I wish you were the same
It's what I'm looking for but I should see that
That would be easy that would be easy

(chorus)

Seems like I'm always on thin ice
Trapped in my words I pay the price
If we were just friends things would be fine
Nothing to cross there'd be no line
So fine, so fine, I've got to got to make you mine

Better than sunshine you energize animate
What's that now you can't speak I will try to translate
Got the tickets to go and it's only a date
No matter what I promise I won't be late
Three months have passed and no one says how they feel
No arguments and everything seems ideal
It's what we're looking for but we should see that
That would be easy that would be easy

(chorus)

Hear

by Michael Berns

Heard the places you've been
You and me is not a game for us to win
Hidden deep in your mind
Heard the things that you wanted me to find

It's just another great time
Mark it on the long list for us
We couldn't get any better

(Chorus)

I just want to be the one and nothing else
Silence all the rest out
I just want to hear your love all by yourself
Heaven isn't too far

Caught the beat of your heart
Heard it all right from the start
Pounding waves in the air
Turn away and I'll say you didn't care

It's always been a good thing
Don't you think we should try for us
We couldn't get any better

(Chorus)

I just want to be the one and nothing else
Silence all the rest out
I just want to hear your love all by yourself
Heaven isn't too far

You take me away from all this melancholy news
Connection like this is not something that I want to lose
Overtime blues back to you

In the blink of an eye
Heard it all did you hear me sigh

It's just another great time
Mark it on the long list for us
We couldn't get any better

(Chorus)

I just want to be the one and nothing else
Silence all the rest out
I just want to hear your love all by yourself
Heaven isn't too far

Now That It's Over

by Michael Berns

I'm on a wave of cases they've got to be filed
Stuck in the stacks relax they're only ABCs
Discovery with evidence is all mixed up
I hold the pleading leading to the settlement
The trail is so long
The clocks are all wrong
The air is still gone
Can you find me there
You know I'll be there

(Chorus)

Now that the day is over
(Now that it's over)
I just want to stay with you
(Now that it's over)
I wonder if I'm on your mind
(I'm hoping that I'm on your mind)
I wonder if I'm on your mind
(I'm hoping that I'm on your mind)

Another line another question I can find
The answer's there it's easy if you let it in
A look between the shuffling of right and wrong
And there you'll find a voice that tells you everything
The breaks are all gone
The coffee's too strong
The stairs are so long
Can you find me there
You know I'll be there

(Chorus)

Well I was on cloud nine when I met you
And it was a tragedy that you didn't remember me
But now it has passed and it's just that
There ain't no going back
I bet you're thinking about me now
I bet you're thinking about me now
It's after five and everybody's left but you
So stick around your sound is so mellifluous
The stars will come out
You wait for no doubt
Your friends scream and shout
Can you find me there
You know I'll be there

(Chorus)

Catalina

by Michael Berns

Hey Ms. 28 of October girl
Would you like to chill on an island with me
I would take you there and cover all the fare
We could go by sea we could go by air
Tell me now

(Chorus)

Would you come with me
To Catalina some time
To Catalina some time
I would make it right
In Catalina some time
In Catalina some time

We should set a date and make it late
I hear the island really comes alive at night
It wouldn't take long before an hour's gone
By the ocean we'll be in Avalon.
Tell me now

(Chorus)

I promise I will be spontaneous
And there would be no fuss if we get lost
I hope that you can leave behind your cell
In interruption hell is where it belongs
Underneath the stars Venus and Mars
There's a spot I just want to see with you
When the verdict lands my offer still stands
I would get whatever your heart demands
Tell me now

(Chorus)

In The Ocean

by Michael Berns

So I hit the road now to get my girlfriend
It's an early Sunday drive morning
Though I'm half asleep and she's tired as well
Were going to the blue sea
To leave behind the city
Arrive at the dock and we're set to rock
This ship's taking us out past the harbor
Thought all my troubles were back on the shore
And then I hear the phone ring
That's when I start to sing

(Chorus)

No one's gonna answer that call
'Cause we got everything in the ocean
No one's gonna answer at all
And we don't want to be interrupted

|Heading out to sea with the girl for me
Her eyes a deeper blue than the water
Worked all week for this it's a state of bliss
No one could ask for more
With someone I adore
On the starboard side in you I confide
All that's left are thoughts and emotions
Everything is fine left the world behind
And then I hear the phone ring
That's when I start to sing

(Chorus)

Only got one destination
To be right here in your arms
As the sun sets in the ocean
All that I need is standing next to me
As the sun goes down there's no sign of town
Everywhere I look is the water
I'm about to lose myself in your eyes
And then I hear the phone ring
That's when I start to sing

(Chorus)

Jump Into This

by Michael Berns

Why do we play like it's all the same
If we both want to go now
Why do we have to play so hard
Looks like you're steppin closer to me
Hope that you're ending this misery
I hear the ringing that's coming from my alarm

(chorus)

Can't wait to jump into this
I'm moving head first
Can't wait to jump into this
I wanna feel it
You've got to keep your head up
Don't think of the worst
Can't wait to jump into this head first

If it's so easy to see it
How come it's never between our eyes
If we know it's the right time
Why do we always bring a guard
Looks like you're honest as you can be
Taking your time to open for me
I hear my way out of this hazy waiting room

(chorus)

If you need someone
Why don't you come out of your shell
If you're standing there
Why don't you come and stand over here
I haven't every seen a better time for this
Just want the memory
Of your kiss
