Brian Wilson - No Pier Pressure Album Lyrics

This Beautiful Day

Life goes on and on
Like your favorite song
What we feel inside
On this wayward drive
If we could find a way
If you would only stay
If we could hold on to this feeling
And this beautiful day

---

Runaway Dancer

We can't let go
There's something in the air tonight
You got to know
This time we're bound to get it right
It's the topic of conversation
Everyone on the street
Looking over the situation
Feel the heat

[Chorus:]
Yeah it's been the talk of the town
She's walkin' 'round everywhere lookin' for an answer
Someone got her foolin' around
Actin' like she don't care, runaway dancer
Runnin', runnin'
Runaway, runaway dancer

She doesn't give you an explanation
Standing out in the rain
There's a lack of communication
Can't explain

[Chorus x2]

What Ever Happened

As the time goes by
And I wonder why
When I know the day is through

The summer wine
My favorite time
The night that I met you

Somewhere in between
These things I've seen
I have somehow lost my way

The starry nights
The harbor lights
The moon across the bay

What ever happened to my favorite places
Nothing's where it used to be
What ever happened
What's gonna happen to me

When I wake up in the morning
If I see that you're not there

II you're away I'll be OK
I know that you still care

What ever happened to my favorite places
Nothing's where it used to be
What ever happened
What's gonna happen to me

What ever happened to yesterday morning
My dream came true

These memories
The summer breeze
That brings me back to you

On The Island

We Booked a
Seven day
Cruise on our
Summer vacation
Ended up lost
In this Island nation
Saturday morning
A walk in the sand
The rhythmic beat
Of this tropical band

On the Island
We'll be wasting our time
(Wasting our time)
On the Island
I'll be feelin just fine

We've got a little hip shack
And late with the rent
We bought a color TV
With the money you sent
A cigarette burn
On the living room table
No food, no pets
No premium cable

On the Island
With a drink in my hand
(Drink in my hand)
On the Island
And a bucket of sand
Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah
Doo Doo Doo

On the Island
I'll be thinking of you
(Thinking of You)
On the Island
There's really nothing to do

On the Island
We'll be taking it slow
(We'll be taking it slow)
Cause on the Island
There's really no place to go

Our Special Love

Bet you wish it really didn't matter
All along you never really had her
She's your everything
Keeps you wondering

Doesn't matter where we are
Doesn't matter where we've been
I can't believe it's gone this far
I can't believe what's happening

Tell me why, down deep inside
Girl you gotta know
That there's a part of you and me
That I just can't let go

Fly away (Fly away)
Nothing, but nothing
Could ever stand in our way

A special love can't be found anywhere in the world
Except for here, that's where you are
What I'm thinking of can't be found anywhere in the world
Except for here, that's where you are

If you knew that you would fall when you first met her
Now she's gone and you just can't forget her
How'd your everything leave you wondering

Fly away (Fly away)
Nothing, but nothing
Can stand in our way

A special love can't be found anywhere in the world
Except for here, that's where you are
What I'm thinking of can't be found anywhere in the world
Except for here, that's where you are

Bet you wish it really didn't matter
All along you never really had her
She's your everything
Makes you wanna sing

The Right Time

Whatever happened to me and you
And everything we've been going through
So many pieces but never in a very straight line

Right could it be the right
Could it be the right time
For getting together
Right could it be the right
Could it be the right time
I'm thinking forever

So many times we get fooled again
With everything that's been happening
Like changing places with someone
In the back of the line
But not this time

Right could it be the right
Could it be the right time
For thinking it over
Right could it be the right
Could it be the right time
For getting to know her

Right time
Could it be the right time
Right time
Could it be the right time
Right time
Could it be the right time

Right could it be the right
Could it be the right time
For thinking it over
Right could it be the right
Could it be the right time
For getting to know her

Guess You Had To Be There

[Kacey Musgraves:]
Well I guess you had to be there
Such a different place
I was cruisin' along
Never thinkin' that we'd ever change
Yeah I guess you had to be there
It was a hell of a ride
Lines were blurry and hurried
But it felt like the stars had aligned

[Chorus:]
We were sharin' a new day
Singing a new song
And everyone's problems
Were suddenly gone
Everything I ever wanted
Is right before my face
Tell all the beautiful people
Were always at my place

[Kacey Musgraves:]
Well I guess you had to be there
All we wanted was more
There were winners and losers
And people passed out on my floor
And you know you should've called me
For that real good time
Guess you missed some of the gold
When you're too busy chasin' the shine

[Chorus]

We were sharing a new day
Sipping on a new wine
And everyone's problems
Were suddenly mine
And all you ever wanted
Was right in front of your face
Starts as a good thing
Turns into a hate

---

Don't Worry

With all your running around
You're getting to me
And bringing me down
I'm going out of my way
To live in the now
And not yesterday

Don't worry where you're going or how far
Everyone has to find their own North Star

Someday you'll find a place where you wanna be
That's all that ever mattered to you and me

Don't worry where you're going or how far

You've got to follow the sun
Think for yourself
Love everyone
You know you're breaking my heart
Living this way
Falling apart

Don't worry where you're going or how far
Everyone has to find their own North Star

Someday you'll find a place where you wanna be
That's all that ever mattered to you and me

Don't worry where you're going or how far
Everyone has to find their own North Star

Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry

---

Somewhere Quiet

Late at night my head walks around you
Your answers knock at my door

Could it be you've seen all your chances
And somehow you still want more

Lost inside a deep sea of faces
Surrounded by eyes still alone

Trying to drown out the voices of sadness
To hear that one clear tone

I wanna take you somewhere quiet
So I can hear what's in my heart
Are you as real as I imagine
Or just the one who plays the part

I found myself lost in your wonder
Happy to be the proof

You're the answer that doesn't ask questions
Because you're simply the truth

I wanna take you somewhere quiet
So I can hear what's in my heart
Are you as real as I imagine
Or just the one who plays the part

Who we are, love keeps on guessing
Perhaps it will never know

There is much beauty in mystery
That's why I love you so

I'm Feeling Sad

Sunday morning but I don't care
Settle into my easy chair
Take a look at the paper and throw it away

Take a walk to the grocery store
Can't remember what I came for
No place to go but I'm on my way

'Cause it's sad when you're not at home
Sad 'cause I'm all alone
Sad as a guy can be

But I'm sad when you're not at home
Sad 'cause I'm all alone
Sad as a guy can be

And it's all right in front of me
I was too blind but now I see
That it's so hard to be alone
Waiting here at home

I read the paper 'cause you're not there
Sunday morning but I don't care
Just want you to know
I'm feeling sad

Tell Me Why

Kinda funny but mostly sad
Kinda good but mostly bad
I really miss that thing we had
Until you went away

I think about the night we met
There's just some things you don't forget
I haven't heard from you again
Since you went away

But now you're gone and I've gotta get on with my life

How many times do I have to explain
How many nights 'til I see you again
How many times can I sit here alone
Is there a chance that you will ever come home
Tell me why

I think about that ocean view
And all the dreams I shared with you
I guess they won't be coming true
At least for you and me

But now you're gone and I've gotta get on with my life

How many times do I have to explain
How many nights 'til I see you again
How many times can I sit here alone
Is there a chance that you will ever come home
Tell me why

How many times do I have to explain
How many nights 'til I see you again
How many times can I sit here alone
Is there a chance that you will ever come home
Tell me why...

Sail Away

So many years ago but I remember
A distant sunset on the open sea
Fascinated by the sailing ships
On a crimson shore that seemed to call out to me

I still can feel the hope that fills my heart
I still can taste the ocean breeze

(Sail away)

As I sail away to the farthest reaches
Follow the sun to the white sand beaches
I only know what the west wind teaches
Won't you sail away with me

(Sail away)

Made a wish upon a falling star
Never thought that we would get this far
I won't be lonely you can be my only
Won't you sail away with me

For a while I almost gave up dreaming
But still this image stayed alive in my soul
While I was working trying to make a living
My so-called life was spinning out of control

Summer wind was blowing through my head
The endless current of my dreams

(Salt away)

As I sail away to the farthest reaches
Follow the sun to the white sand beaches
I only know what the west wind teaches
Won't you sail away with me

(Sail away)

Sail away to a land without time
Drink my water from a shell that I find
I won't be lonely you can be my only
Won't you sail away with me

Oh, let me take you there to another land
Don't expect the world to understand

(Sail away)

We can sail away while we still have time
There's a million places that I have in mind
As we cast our fate to the open sea
Sail away with me

(Sail away)

Made a wish upon a falling star
Never thought that we would get this far
Try and imagine how our life would be
If you could sail away with me

(Won't you sail away)
(Won't you sail away)

Sail away
Sail away

One Kind Of Love

Just driftwood floating on the sea,
Searching for the me and all that I have known to be.
Thank God that you noticed me,
And brought back harmony to this lonely soul.

Oh it's a revelation,
I feel alive again.
There are no limitations with love.

The day you said that you'd be mine,
I can see Cloud Nine 'cos I was flying over it.
I wasted so much time,
Run in circles in my mind,
I couldn't hear my heart calling out for you.

There's only one kind of love,
The kind that I've been dreaming of,
Don't you know it's unconditional?
And when you hold love in your hand,
Only then you'll understand,
It's everything that you've been wishing for.

Sometimes from out of the blue,
An angel comes to you,
But you've got to have an open heart.
I nearly failed the test of time,
But now that you are mine,
Girl I'm here to stay.

Oh it's a revelation,
I feel alive again.
There are no limitations with love.

There's only one kind of love,
The kind that I've been dreaming of,
Don't you know it's unconditional?
And when you hold love in your hand,
Only then you'll understand,
It's everything that you've been wishing for.

There's only one kind of love,
The kind that I've been dreaming of,
Don't you know it's unconditional?
And when you hold love in your hand,
Only then you'll understand,
It's everything that you've been wishing for.

Saturday Night

Spending my life looking over my shoulder
Trying and imagine how life could have been
You've got me thinking about all of the people
Who helped me come out from within

Answer the call you can try if you want to
Hope for it all and we'll find a new way
Back in the corner is our favorite table
There's no place that I'd rather stay

Saturday Night
On Hollywood Boulevard
Hanging around with nothing to do
Saturday Night
I'm just where I want to be
Spending my time (spending my time) here with you
On a Saturday Night

Turn it around, take a look in the mirror
All I can see is your face in the crowd
You've got me seeing a little bit clearer
Now we're playing our music too loud

Saturday Night
On Hollywood Boulevard
Hanging around with nothing to do
Saturday Night
I'm just where I want to be
Spending my time (spending my time)...

Hey baby
maybe we should pretend
instead of leaving
we should stay till the end
Tonight

Saturday Night
I'm just where I want to be
Hanging around with nothing to do
spending my time on Hollywood Boulevard
Saturday Night

Saturday Night
On Hollywood Boulevard
Hanging around with nothing to do
Saturday Night
I'm just where I want to be
Spending my time, here with you.
On a Saturday Night
On a Saturday Night
On a Saturday Night
Here with you.

The Last Song

Hold on tight and everything will be alright
I've never really felt this way before

Don't let go
There's still time for us so let's take it slow
I wish that I could give you so much more

La la la la la
La la la
La la la la

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la

Far away
Maybe we'll be coming back someday

Together in the end
To sing with you again

I've never really felt this way before

Don't be sad
There was a time and place for what we had
If there was just another chance for me to sing to you

La la la la la la
La la la la...

There's never enough time for the ones that you love
There's never enough time for the ones that you love
There's never enough time for the ones that you love
