When I was in my early age
I heard em talk about true love
So I started looking for where
It could be
I ran from kisses in the third grade
Dated a girl in middle school for ten days
I thought it would never come my way

But I found love in the middle ages
It ain't always fireworks
And it comes in stages
It takes courage, and trust in each other
I know I found it, what true love is
It's love in the middle ages
Love in the middle ages

I chased love across the oceans
But I never knew what it was like to stay
What it took to really listen
How to compromise and how to sing the same way
Now I'm old enough to say

I found love in the middle ages
It ain't always fireworks
And it comes in stages
It takes courage, and trust in each other
I know I found it, what true love is
It's love in the middle ages
Love in the middle ages

And it's a trip to Dunkin in the morning
It's knowing exactly what she's gonna say
It's getting cozy on the couch
After a long hard day
It's growing old together
And figuring it out along the way

I found love in the middle ages
It's not just fate, or even a promise
There's something deeper, something stronger
I put down my sword and took off my armor

Cause I found love in the middle ages
It ain't always fireworks
And it comes in stages
It takes courage, and trust in each other
I know I found it, what true love is
It's love in the middle ages
Love in the middle ages
Love in the middle ages
Love in the middle ages
It's love in the middle ages

I've been cooped up in this Mini-Cooper
Singing to myself
Going through drive through after drive through
Looking for some help
I miss my family and my girl and
My friends there by my side
If you feel the beat and you're feeling me then
Come on let's ride

We need a bigger bus to get our friends on
More windows and more aisles
Party in the front, party in the back
We go swaying side to side
Down the highway of surrender
Our wheels go round and round
We'll get all the bumper stickers
From all the places that we found
Need a bigger bus
We need a bigger bus

You can bring your friends
They can sing too
You can even bring your momma
As long as she can hold a tune
You can bring your dog
And let those ears fly out in the wind
Then we'll pick up the whole dang town and we'll
Sing it again

We need a bigger bus to get our friends on
More windows and more aisles
Party in the front, party in the back
We go swaying side to side
Down the highway of surrender
Our wheels go round and round
We'll get all the bumper stickers
From all the places that we found
Need a bigger bus
We need a bigger bus

And I don't wanna fly or take the train
I hear the road calling my name
When it feels this good wanna share the love
Get the whole world singing along

We need a bigger bus to get our friends on
More windows and more aisles
Party in the front, party in the back
We go swaying side to side
Down the highway of surrender
Our wheels go round and round
We're just one big happy family
From all the big cities to all the little towns

We need a bigger bus to get our friends on
More windows and more aisles
Party in the front, party in the back
We go swaying side to side
Down the highway of surrender
Our wheels go round and round
We'll get all the bumper stickers
From all the places that we found

Need a bigger bus
We need a bigger bus
We're gonna need a bigger bus
We need a bigger bus
We need a bigger bus

They say get rich
So I can buy all that I want
But I've got all the smiles that I need
They say get famous
So everyone will know me
But that sounds like a movie I don't wanna see

They say get smart
So I can solve any problem
As if they'll all go away
They say go hard
But I'm a softy deep inside
And I don't feel like hiding anymore

They say be nice
But I'd rather be kind
And be there for those who are in need
They say you gotta think twice
Maybe we should think a little more
About how we treat the world that we call home

They say settle down
But I ain't one for settling
So I'll just keep on chasing my dreams
They say grow up
As if it's a given
But I ain't taking those pills anymore

Got a joy that's overflowing
They say don't give it away
But I'll do it anyway

They say get real
But when the truth isn't valued
No one really knows how to feel

That's how it is
And that's how it's always been
But what about how it could be
Enough is enough
There's new voices talking
And those are the ones that I want to hear

They say too much
But I know who I am
So I don't listen to them anymore

I was on a train in the middle of the city
Saw a girl sitting on the floor with her headphones on
She was humming a tune, looking as happy as she could be
Nodding her head and closing her eyes and singing a song
She was singing

Na Na, Na Na Na Na
And the sun broke through the windows
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
Now everyone's humming along
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
She got everybody
Singing That Universal Song

I was on a cruise in the middle of the ocean
Sitting alone at a table for two
The band was on a break
Cause the singer, he was late
But the second he got on stage
He started singing that same old tune
He was singing

Na Na, Na Na Na Na
And everyone ran out onto the dance floor
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
They were shaking their hips and moving along
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
He got everybody
Singing That Universal Song

I read on the news today that
They made contact with outer space and
A transmission was coming in loud and clear
All the scientists and
Linguists and
Astrophysicists tried to decipher the sounds
That were coming into their ears
But all the heard was

Na Na, Na Na Na Na
They started moving their shoulders too
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
They all agreed that that's what we should do
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
Now everybody in the world's singing
Na Na, Na Na Na Na
They got their hands up in the air
Na Na, Na Na Na Na

Now everybody's
Getting along
Cause everybody's
Singing That Universal Song

Na Na, Na Na Na Na
Na Na, Na Na Na Na

So far, it's been quite an adventure
With you, here by my side
And there's a part of me that goes on forever
And I'm willing to let it shine
If I told you that we're just getting started
Would you keep on keeping on with me
Cause I try, I try, I try to be open hearted
I hope that's alright
I'm learning as I go

It's a long and winding road
With perils and dangerous turns
The hardest part is staying true
But I know when you're with me that's all that I want to do

And so far, we've built a tiny empire
In the middle of a wild and wondrous world
If we keep on going like we're going
There's no telling how big and how fun this could get

There's a voice in my mind
That's scared of what's ahead
But I'm having too much of a good ole time
Cause I know when you're with me that we're gonna be alright

Since we sang our first song together
I knew that we'd be just fine
We're gonna keep on singing to the stars
We'll stay on the run and keep on chasing daylight

It's a long and winding road
With perils and dangerous turns
The hardest part is staying true
But I know when you're with me that's all that I want to do
All that I want to do
