We were both young
When I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
I see the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way
Through the crowd
And say Hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo
You were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Beggin' you "Please don't go"
And I said
Romeo take me
Somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting
All that's left to do is run
You'll be the Prince
And I'll be the Princess
It's a Love Story
Baby just say "Yes"
So I sneak out
To the garden to see you
We keep quiet
Cause we were dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Cause you were Romeo
I was a Scarlett Letter
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
And I was beggin' you Please don't go
And I said
Romeo take me
Somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting
All that's left to do is run
You'll be the Prince
And I'll be the Princess
It's a Love Story
Baby just say "Yes"
Romeo save me
They're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult
But it's real
Don't be afraid
We'll make it out of this mess
It's a Love Story
Baby just say "Yes"
I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me
I've been feelin' so alone
I keep waiting for you
But you never come
Is this in my head?
I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground
And pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you
And that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a Love Story
Baby just say Yes
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Cause we were both young
When I first saw you |
We were both young when I first saw you

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you |
I want it all to appear before my eyes when he smiles
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think Romeo would be my kind of guy
I want a love that's sweeter than roses
And for me this is how it's gonna be
Like there's a fairytale guy
And he whispers sweet lullabies
And the music plays from nowhere
As we dance in the pale moonlight
With candles and fireflies all night
Everybody thinks about love
I want love they haven't thought of yet
Here on the couch with a box of chocolates that I bought myself
I'll wait it out but sometimes my patience just needs a little help
It's what you get when your heartstrings are so tied
I don't regret it ‘cause it needs to be perfect
Like there's a fairytale guy
And he whispers sweet lullabies
And the music plays from nowhere
As we dance in the pale moonlight
With candles and fireflies all night
Everybody thinks about love
I want love they haven't thought of yet
I want my own little storybook ending
We'll make it up as we go
There's a fairytale guy
And he whispers sweet lullabies
And the music plays from nowhere
As we dance in the pale moonlight
With candles and fireflies all night
Everybody thinks about love
I want love they haven't thought of yet
I want love they haven't thought of yet |
Come on, gather round I'm gonna tell you how the fire went out
Sorry for the ending, I didn't mean to let you down
We were supposed to be forever but it's too bad you didn't see
That to me you were the perfect view of misery
I never talked about the tears I cried
All the sleepless nights or the endless fights
I never talked about the days he called
There was something wrong, it was all my fault
I had it all, what a shame, what a fall now
And in case you haven't heard the news
There wasn't much love to lose
Let's talk about that golden boy that I met on a winter night
How was I supposed to know that he was just as cold as ice
He smiled and I smiled for the cameras in your mind
And I lied and swore that everything was fine
I never told you about the tears I cried
All the sleepless nights or the endless fights
I never told you about the days he called
There was something wrong, it was all my fault
I had it all, what a shame, what a fall now
And in case you haven't heard the news
There wasn't much love to lose
I know you wanna talk around me
How I gave up on love so foolishly
But keep in mind...
I never told you about the tears I cried
All the sleepless nights or the endless fights
I never told you about the days he called
There was something wrong, it was all my fault
I had it all, what a shame, what a fall now
And in case you haven't heard the news
There wasn't much love to lose
Come on, gather round I'm gonna tell you how the fire went out... |
We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
And this is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze
A mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever, ah
Ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover
We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
And I'm highly suspicious
That everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey
But I want 'em all
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever, ah
Take me out, and take me home
(Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my lover
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever, ah
Take me out, and take me home
(Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover |

Can I go where you go?

And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover
We could light a bunch of candles
And dance around the kitchen, baby
Pictures of when we were young would hang on the wall
We would sit on the stoop
I'll sing love songs to you
When we're eighty
See, I finally got you now, honey, I won't let you fall
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my lover
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
Look in my eyes, they will tell you the truth
The girl in my story has always been you
I'd go down with the titanic, it's true, for you, lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table
I'll save you a seat, lover (Save you a seat)
Can I go where you go?
(Can I go where you go, baby?)
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out
And take me home (Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover |
Early morning, she wakes up
Knock! Knock! Knock! On the door
It's time for makeup, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go
"Isn't she lovely this Hollywood girl? "
And they say
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries
In her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then, why do these tears come at night?
Lost in an imanage, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning
And she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go
"Isn't she lovely this Hollywood girl? "
And they say
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries
In her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then, why do these tears come at night?
"Best actress, and the winner is Lucky! "
"I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News
Standing outside the Arena waiting for Lucky
Oh, my God, here she comes! "
Isn't she lucky this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there's nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night?
And they say
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries
In her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?
She's so lucky
But she cry, cry, cries
In her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night? |
There's a little girl
In this little town
With a little too much heart
To go around
Live forever,
Never say never
You can do better,
That's what she says
Mama named her Lucky
On a starlight night
A rabbit foot in her pocket,
She dances in spite of
The fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you
Do do do do do do do do
She sings her little songs
She walks a long a little
Halfway headed for the skies
Left to travel,
Lives they unravel
Mind over matter,
That's what she says
Mama named her Lucky
On a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket,
She dances in spite of
The fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you, lucky you
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Maybe she'll sing you do do do
Maybe she'll bring you
Into the skies
Honey, she'll love you
Funny how some view
Angels above you,
Ain't so far away.
Mama named her Lucky
On a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket,
She dances in spite of
The fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you |
Fatefully
I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me
Misery
Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
And you passed right by
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides
The knife cuts both ways
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break
And I fell from the pedestal
Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Clung to the nearest lips
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
Now I'm all about you
I'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah
I'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah
Actually
I always felt I must look better in the rear view
Missing me
At the golden gates they once held the keys to
When I dropped my sword
I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door
And we live in peace
But if someone comes at us
This time, I'm ready
'Cause I fell from the pedestal
Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Clung to the nearest lips
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
Now I'm all about you
I'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah
I'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah
No more keepin' score
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)
No more tug of war
Now I just know there's more (Know there's more)
No more keepin' score
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)
No more tug of war
And my waves meet your shore
Ever and evermore
Past me
I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things
Your nemeses
Will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
And he's passing by
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
And he feels like home
If the shoe fits, walk in it
Everywhere you go
And I fell from the pedestal
Right down the rabbit hole
Long story short, it was a bad time
Pushed from the precipice
Climbed right back up the cliff
Long story short, I survived
Now I'm all about you
I'm all about you, ah
I'm all about you, ah
Yeah, yeah
I'm all about you
Yeah, yeah
I'm all about you
Long story short, it was a bad time
Long story short, I survived |
Macavity's a mystery cat
He's called the Hiddenpaw
For he's the master criminal who can defy the law
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard
The Flying Squad's despair
For when they reach the scene of crime
Macavity's not there
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's broken every human law
He breaks the law of gravity
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
But when they reach the scene of crime
Macavity's not there
Macavity's a ginger cat
He's very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him
For his eyes are sunken in
His brow is deeply lined with thought
His head is highly domed
His coat is dusty from neglect
His whiskers are uncombed
He sways his head from side to side
With movements like a snake
And when you think he's half asleep
He's always wide awake
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
For he's a fiend in feline shape
A monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street
You may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there
He's outwardly respectable
I know, he cheats at cards
And his footprints are not found
In any files of Scotland Yard's
And when the larder's looted
And the jewel case is rifled
Or when the milk is missing
Or another peke's been stifled
Or the greenhouse glass is broken
And the trellis past repair
There's the wonder of the thing, Macavity's not there
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare
What ever time the deed took place, Macavity wasn't there
And they say that all the cats
Whose wicked deeds are widely known
I might mention Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Griddlebone
Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
Just controls the operations, the Napoleon of Crime
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street
You may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered
Then Macavity, Macavity
Macavity, Macavity
When a crime's discovered, then
Macavity's not there |
What did you think I'd say to that?
Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?
They strike to kill, and you know I will
You know I will
What do you sing on your drive home?
Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
Does she smile?
Or does she mouth, "Fuck you forever"?
Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry
And there's nothing like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothing like a mad woman
Now I breathe flames each time I talk
My cannons all firin' at your yacht
They say "move on, " but you know I won't
And women like hunting witches too
Doing your dirtiest work for you
It's obvious that wanting me dead
Has really brought you two together
Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry
And there's nothing like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothing like a mad woman
I'm taking my time, taking my time
'Cause you took everything from me
Watching you climb, watching you climb
Over people like me
The master of spin has a couple side flings
Good wives always know
She should be mad, should be scathing like me, but
No one likes a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
You made her like that |
Your feet under the table
I love it when they're touching mine
Your hands make the ? cradle
To tell me everything is fine
All I see is you looking at me
Do you know when you go
You make the sweetest sight at the window
If you had never come out of the blue
I would have stayed up and Made Up You
You smile just like a picture
It doesn't even need a frame
Sometimes I wait to answer
Just to hear you say my name
And all I want is just what I've got
Do you know when you go
You make the sweetest sight at the window
If you had never come out of the blue
I would have stayed up and Made Up You
I'd never let you go
Even If I could
Cause I never could've dreamed you up this good
Oh oh
Do you know when you go
You make the sweetest sight at the window
If you had never come out of the blue
I would have stayed up and Made Up You
Made Up You
Oh oh
Made Up You |
I need you more than I know how to mention
And I'd give forever to get your attention
But you're summer midnight with starry blue eyes
I only see you and borrow yours every night
Ooh, ooh, love like this
Is something I missed
Ooh, ooh, love like this
And that small town daydream
Lasted all night
'Cause tonight all those bright city lights
Just look at you look at me
Heaven looked down to see
We're falling now
And there's nothing we ain't too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love
All of the days that I couldn't get it right
It all disappeared lying here by your side
With your dirty blue jeans and my crooked smile
You make it look easy changing my life
Ooh, ooh, love like this
Is something I missed
Ooh, ooh, love like this
And that small town daydream
Lasted all night
'Cause tonight all those bright city lights
Just look at you look at me
Heaven looked down to see
We're falling now
And there's nothing we ain't too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love
Haven't had quite the time
To figure this life out
But baby I've got mine
To give you everything you dream about
Ooh, ooh, love like this
And it's something I don't miss anymore
Ooh, ooh, love like this
And that small town daydream
Lasted all night
'Cause tonight all those bright city lights
Just look at you look at me
Heaven looked down to see
We're falling now
And that small town daydream
Lasted all night
'Cause tonight all those bright city lights
Just look at you look at me
Heaven looked down to see
We're falling now
And there's nothing we ain't too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love
Just two kids making up for lost love |
He's got a nice little life
He's gonna live it, but on
Friday nights he plays that mandolin
Painted red, and he said
It's not the best I know
But it's mine, I'm gonna make it mine
People there can't help but care
About the friendly music of a guy
Who's getting by from their applause
He's got a song that moves along
He's got his local crowd tonight
At Angelina's family bar and grill
He's got his heart on his sleeve
The songs he plays just living free
But who knows what goes through his mind
When he plays a song it brings along
Everybody saying
Who's that guy who plays the mandolin... mandolin
Oh yeah, mandolin
Got a car, got a scar
Like everyone he's got a few but
Everybody loves that mandolin
Got his problems, bills to pay
Somehow that boy finds a way
Through paychecks in tip jars, yeah
He's got his heart on his sleeve
The songs he plays just living free
But who knows what goes through his mind
When he plays a song it brings along
Everybody saying
Who's that guy who plays the mandolin... mandolin
Oh yeah, mandolin
Oh he's the kind of guy
Who never really wanted fame
His feet are planted firmly on the ground
He never wanted people to remember his name
He never wanted word to get around
That he found heaven on earth
He's got his heart on his sleeve
The songs he plays just living free
But who knows what goes through his mind
When he plays a song it brings along
Everybody saying
Who's that guy who plays the mandolin
Oh, I'm the guy who plays the mandolin
Mandolin
Oh, mandolin |
Never be so kind
You forget to be clever
Never be so clever
You forget to be kind
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were talking to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive
Never be so politе
You forget your power
Nevеr wield such power
You forget to be polite
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were listening to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive
The autumn chill that wakes me up
You loved the amber skies so much
Long limbs and frozen swims
You'd always go past where our feet could touch
And I complained the whole way there
The car ride back and up the stairs
I should've asked you questions
I should've asked you how to be
Asked you to write it down for me
Should've kept every grocery store receipt
'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
Watched as you signed your name Marjorie
All your closets of backlogged dreams
And how you left them all to me
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were singing to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
I know better
But I still feel you all around
I know better
But you're still around |
She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I
Oh my my my my
I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two A. M. riding in your truck
and all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside til the morning light
Oh my my my my
A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
Take me back to the time
when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I
I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, oh my my my |
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
He said "let's get out of this town
Drive out of the city, away from the crowd"
I thought "heaven can't help me now
Nothing lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down"
He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition is
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh
Wildest dreams, oh
I said, "no one has to know what we do"
His hands are in my hair
His clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound
Nothing lasts forever
But this is getting good now
He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request, it is
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh
Wildest dreams, oh
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
Don't you let it go
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
Don't you let it go
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
Don't you let it go
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday, when you leave me
I bet these memories
Will follow you around
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday, when you leave me
I bet these memories
Will follow you around
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Some day, when you leave me
I bet these memories
Will follow you around
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Some day, when you leave me
I bet these memories
Will follow you around
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just pretend
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh
Wildest dreams, oh
Wildest dreams, oh
Wildest dreams, oh
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
Don't you let it go, don't you let it go
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
Don't you let it go, don't you let it go
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
Don't you let it go, don't you let it go
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
Don't you let it go, don't you let it go
In your wildest dreams, oh
Wildest dreams, oh
Wildest dreams, oh
In your wildest dreams, oh |
I shined your shoes
I poured the wine
I gave you all of my time
I patched your fake smile
Against your friends
Which apparently is a crime
I gave you space
You took my place
And gave it to her
But life's too long
To waste it all loving a liar
And when love hands me matches now
I'm gonna burn it down
I keyed her car
Got my guitar
And wrote this damn song
Look what you've found
She's been around
I hear the lines long
And don't you tell me
To be nice
I'm not a nice girl
She died from complications
Of the things you told her
So when love hands me matches now
I'm gonna burn it down
Ain't it funny
You said honey
You meant sitting duck
Well I say cheater, liar, truck on fire, loser, leaver, deceiver
Just a few I've thought of
And when love hands me matches now
'Gonna burn it down
I'm gonna burn it down
Oh yeah
Gonna burn it, burn it, burn it down
Matches, now |
Me And Britney
Me and britney used to sip on the front porch
Drinking lemonade
Talk about things no one else was ever supposed to hear
In a summer shade
She said she was gonna be a moviestar
And I said she was crazy
Catching dreams and fireflies in a jar
Just me and britney
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
We were babies, we were beautiful and free
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
There was nothing that was out of reach
Me and britney
She never made it to hollywood
But she made it to Memphis
This little old town just hasn't been the same since
That boy she went out with, well I thought he was crazy
Maybe I was just jealous it would come between me and britney
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
She was in love, she was beautiful and free
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
She was always so much braver than me
When the phone rang in the middle of the night
Before she said a word I knew it was her
She said "I'm sorry for waking you up
but I didn't know who else to call
Or where else to go"
Me and britney sat down on the front porch
Talking 'bout love and how it changes things
Changes people and changes names
everything but me and britney
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
We're not as young, but we're still beautiful and free
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Even when we're old, we're still gonna be me and britney
Sittin' on the front porch
Drinking lemonade
Talking 'bout things no one else was ever gonna hear
In a summer shade |
I promise that you'll never find another like me
I know that I'm a handful, baby, uh
I know I never think before I jump
And you're the kind of guy the ladies want
(And there's a lot of cool chicks out there)
I know that I went psycho on the phone
I never leave well enough alone
And trouble's gonna follow where I go
(And there's a lot of cool chicks out there)
But one of these things is not like the others
Like a rainbow with all of the colors
Baby doll, when it comes to a lover
I promise that you'll never find another like
Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm the only one of me
Baby, that's the fun of me
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You're the only one of you
Baby, that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me
I know I tend to make it about me
I know you never get just what you see
But I will never bore you, baby
(And there's a lot of lame guys out there)
And when we had that fight out in the rain
You went after me and called my name
I never wanna see you walk away
(And there's a lot of lame guys out there)
'Cause one of these things is not like the others
Livin' in winter, I am your summer
Baby doll, when it comes to a lover
I promise that you'll never find another like
Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm the only one of me
Let me keep you company
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You're the only one of you
Baby, that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me
Hey, kids!
Spelling is fun!
Girl, there ain't no I in "team"
But you know there is a "me"
Strike the band up, 1, 2, 3
I promise that you'll never find another like me
Girl, there ain't no I in "team"
But you know there is a "me"
And you can't spell "awesome" without "me"
I promise that you'll never find another like
Me-e-e (Yeah) , ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (And I want ya, baby)
I'm the only one of me (I'm the only one of me)
Baby, that's the fun of me (Baby, that's the fun of me)
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh)
You're the only one of you (Oh)
Baby, that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me
Girl, there ain't no I in "team"
But you know there is a "me"
I'm the only one of me (Oh-oh)
Baby, that's the fun of me
Strike the band up, 1, 2, 3
You can't spell "awesome" without "me"
You're the only one of you
Baby, that's the fun of you
And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me |
You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You, have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' on the weaker man
Well you can take me down
With just one single blow
But you don't know, what you don't know
Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
And your walk by lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
You can't lead me down that road
You don't know, what you don't know
Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but
Nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean,
All you are is mean.
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life,
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean yeah
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so ?
Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean? |
Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobblestones
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Sequined smile, black lipstick, sensual politics
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
'Cause I knew you
Steppin' on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy, I
I knew you
Leavin' like a father
Running like water, I
'Cause when you are young, they assume you know nothing
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd miss me
once the thrill expired
And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come back to me
You'd come back to me
And you'd come back to me
And you'd come back
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
And you'd come back to me
Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of "Are you sure? "
"Never have I ever before"
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin' for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer love and saying "us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
They count me out time and time again
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
But I come back stronger than a 90's trend
Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open shut case
I guess I should've known from the look on your face
Every bait and switch was a work of art
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans
That's my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans
That's my man
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans
That's my man |
I know that you like me
And it's kinda frightenin' standin' here waitin' (Waitin')
And I became hypnotized
By freckles and bright eyes, tongue-tied
But now (now)
You're so far away and I'm down (Down)
Feelin' like a face in the crowd
I'm reachin' for you, terrified-ied-ied-ied
'Cause you could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you

Oh oh ooo o
Oh oh ooo o
You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left the small town never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I could see it
Yes yes I can see it now
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there is a drawer of my things at your place
You learned my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You said we'd never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
This is what I thought about
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Woah oh oo
And I remember that fight, 2:30 A.M
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
And I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
'Cause that's all I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said "I'll never leave you alone"
You said
"I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"
Hold on
Make it last
Hold on
Never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Woah oh
Yeah yeah...
Do you believe it?
Woah oh
We're gonna make it now
Woah oh
And I can see it yeah yeah
And I can see it now, see it now, see it now |
You know I adore you, I'm crazier for you
Than I was at 16, lost in a film scene
Waving homecoming queens
Marching band playing
I'm lost in the lights
American glory faded before me
Now I'm feeling hopeless
Ripped up my prom dress
Running through rose thorns
I saw the scoreboard
And ran for my life (Ah)
No cameras catch my pageant smile
I counted days, I counted miles
To see you there, to see you there
It's been a long time coming, but
It's you and me, that's my whole world
They whisper in the hallway
"She's a bad, bad girl" (Okay)
The whole school is rolling fake dice
You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes
It's you and me, there's nothing like this
Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (Okay)
We're so sad, we paint the town blue
Voted most likely to run away with you
My team is losing, battered and bruising
I see the high fives between the bad guys
Leave with my head hung, you are the only one
Who seems to care
American stories burning before me
I'm feeling helpless, the damsels are depressed
Boys will be boys then, where are the wise men?
Darling, I'm scared (Ah)
No cameras catch my muffled cries
I counted days, I counted miles
To see you there, to see you there
And now the storm is coming, but
It's you and me, that's my whole world
They whisper in the hallway
"She's a bad, bad girl" (Okay)
The whole school is rolling fake dice
You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes
It's you and me, there's nothing like this
Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (Okay)
We're so sad, we paint the town blue
Voted most likely to run away with you
And I don't want you to (Go)
I don't really wanna (Fight)
'Cause nobody's gonna (Win)
I think you should come home
And I don't want you to (Go)
I don't really wanna (Fight)
'Cause nobody's gonna (Win)
I think you should come home
And I don't want you to (Go)
I don't really wanna (Fight)
'Cause nobody's gonna (Win)
just thought you should know
And I'll never let you (Go)
'cause I know this is a (Fight)
That someday we're gonna (Win)
It's you and me, that's my whole world
They whisper in the hallway
"She's a bad, bad girl"
Oh, I just thought you should know (You should know)
It's you and me, there's nothing like this (Like this)
Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (Okay)
We're so sad, we paint the town blue (Paint it blue)
Voted most likely to run away with you
And I don't want you to (Go)
I don't really wanna (Fight)
'Cause nobody's gonna (Win)
I think you should come home
And I'll never let you (Go)

They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl"
"She's a bad, bad girl" |
Everytime
I think of you
I always catch
My breath
I'm still
Standing here
And your miles away
And I wonder why
You left me
And there's a storm
That's raging through
My frozen heart tonight
Tyler:
I hear your name
In certain circles
And it always
Makes me smile
I spent my time
Just thinkin'
About you
And it's almost
Driving me wild
But it's my heart
That's beggin down
This long distance
Line tonight
Taylor/Tyler:
And I
Ain't missin' you
At all
Since you've
Been gone away
I ain't missin' you
No matter
What I might say
Tyler:
There's a message
In the wires
And I am sendin' you
A signal tonight
You don't know
How desperate
I've become
And It looks
Like I'm loosein'
This fight
But it's my heart
That's breakin' down
This long dusty
Road of mine
But I ain't
Missin' you
At all
Since you've
Been gone away
I ain't missin' you at
No matter
What my friends say
Taylor:
And there's a message
That I'm sendin' out
Like a telograph
To you or something
I can't bridge
This distance
Honey
Stop this heart
Ache all alone
Taylor/Tyler:
I ain't missin' you
At all
Since you've
Been gone away
I ain't missin' you
No matter
What my friends say
I ain't missin' you
Since you've
Been gone away
I ain't missin' you
Yeah, no matter
What your friends say
Hey, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I ain't missin' you
At all
Since you've
Been gone away
I ain't missin' you

Mr. Perfect face
Mr. Here to stay
Mr. Looked me in the eye
and told me you would never go away
Everything was right
Mr. I've been waiting for you all my life
Mr. Every single day until the end, I will be by your side
But that was when I got to know Mr. Change of heart
Mr. Leaves me all alone, I fall apart
It takes everything in me just to get up each day
But it's wonderful to see that you're okay
Hello Mr. Perfectly fine
How's your heart after breaking mine?
Mr. Always at the right place at the right time, baby
Hello Mr. Casually cruel
Mr. Everything revolves around you
I've been Ms. Misery since your goodbye
And you're Mr. Perfectly fine
Mr. Never told me why
Mr. Never had to see me cry
Mr. Insincere apology so he doesn't look like the bad guy
He goes about his day
Forgets he ever even heard my name
Well, I thought you might be different than the rest
I guess you're all the same
'Cause I hear he's got his arm 'round a brand new girl
I've been pickin' up my heart, he's been pickin' up her
And I never got past what you put me through
But it's wonderful to see that it never phased you
Hello Mr. Perfectly fine
How's your heart after breakin' mine?
Mr. Always at the right place at the right time, baby
Hello Mr. Casually cruel
Mr. Everything revolves around you
I've been Miss Misery since your goodbye
And you're Mr. Perfectly fine
So dignified in your well-pressed suit
So strategized, all the eyes on you
Sashay away to your seat
It's the best seat, in the best room
Oh, he's so smug, Mr. Always wins
So far above me in every sense
So far above feeling anything
And it's really such a shame
It's such a shame
'Cause I was Miss Here to stay
Now I'm Miss Gonna be alright someday
And someday maybe you'll miss me
But by then, you'll be Mr. Too late
Goodbye Mr. Perfectly fine
How's your heart after breakin' mine?
Mr. Always at the right place at the right time, baby
Goodbye Mr. Casually cruel
Mr. Everything revolves around you
I've been Ms. Misery for the last time
And you're Mr. Perfectly fine
You're perfectly fine
Mr. looked me in the eye and told me
you would never go away
You said you'd never go away |
I know we've got a lot to say
Between now and forever
But I'd be a game if you would play
And my dear you get better
All throughout the day
You smile and walk away
All I can think to do
Is follow you
If you leave I'll be crawling back for more
If you need love I'll be standing at your door
I'll be sick inside if baby you'd be my cure
Wherever you think I am tonight
Just know we're miles from a heartbreak
Because in the blink of a pretty brown eye
I'll be right where you are baby
Sometime along the way you take my breath away
Distracted by the view
I fall right into you
And if you ever leave I'll be crawling back for more
And if you ever need love I'll be standing at your door
I'll be sick inside if baby you would be my cure
They say I need to see all the people out there waiting
But you take one look at me
And I know the mistake I'd be making
Cuz if you ever leave I'll be crawling back for more
And if you ever need love I'm standing at your door
I'll be sick inside if baby you be my cure
I know we've got a lot to say between now and forever

Something about me didn't fit into your perfect world
I bet the bluegrass stained your smile
You should use a darker color when you write on the wall
I haven't read it a thousand times
Maybe if you saw me for a second you would realize
Honey I was trying so hard
To talk, walk, think, stop
Anytime you want me to
Bend all my rules
I used to let you choose
Who you wanted me to be
This time I'm flying free
It's my turn to be me
You liked the face but you had to replace me
Inside I saw the walls of me go down
You can take the girl away from
Cowboy hats and steel guitars
She'll still sing the same old songs
Maybe if you saw me for a second you would realize
Honey I was trying so hard
To talk, walk, think, stop
Anytime you want me to
Bend all my rules
I used to let you choose
Who you wanted me to be
This time I'm flying free
It's my turn to be me
Turned on that radio
Hey that's when I realized
It wasn't our song, it was yours
And in conversation baby I was decoration
Now I deserve a little bit more than
To talk, walk, think, stop
Anytime you want me to
Bend all my rules
I used to let you choose
Who you wanted me to be
This time I'm flying free
It's my turn to be me
It's my turn to be me |
On a crowded highway
Through a night alone
I was barely breathing
I was crawling home
Well, it's not quite London
Or the south of France
Or an Asian Island
Or a second chance
Going back to Nashville
Thinking 'bout the whole thing
Guess you've got to run sometimes
Maybe I'm a fast train
Rolling through a valley
Watching all my life go by
You're a distant memory
You're an exit sign
I was talking crazy
On the driver's side
And I know I hurt you
But I can't confess
Was that blood or a wine stain
On your wedding dress?
Going back to Nashville
Thinking 'bout the whole thing
Guess you've got to run sometimes
Maybe I'm a fast train
Blowing through a mountain
Watching all my life go by
Going back to Nashville
Laughing at a bad break
What's the use in wondering why?
Maybe I'm a storm front
Going through a valley
Tearing up a good July
And its safe and warm
Where nothing ever happens
Could it be so hard?
To realign a star for you
Change a southern man for you
Going back to Nashville
Thinking bout the whole thing
Guess you've got to run sometimes
Maybe I'm a fast train
Rolling though a valley
Tearing up a good July
I'm going back to Nashville
Laughing at a bad break
What's the use in wondering why?
Maybe I'm a storm front
Rolling through the valley
Tearing up a good July
Going back to Nashville
I'm going back to Nashville
Going back to Naaaaahh....
Going back to Nashville
What's the use in wondering why? |
I need you now
Read letters that I wrote on the wall
And the message that I left when I called
I need you now
Words I said drowned out by the rain
Waiting there for you but you never came
My world's a little colder now
But I'm keeping warm somehow
So here you are at my window
Guess nobody told you
I don't need don't need you
And I waited so frustrated
Who's gonna hold you
I don't need you don't need you now
I need you now
Words I heard you whisper to me
We were walking down a one-way street
You need me now
That's what you've been telling my friends
That I've come too far to go back there again
My heart my mind and number have changed
You might as well forget my name
So here you are at my window
Guess nobody told you
I don't need don't need you
And I waited so frustrated
Who's gonna hold you
I don't need you don't need you now
I need you now
Read letters that I wrote on the wall
And the message that I left when I called
So here you are at my window
Guess nobody told you
I don't need don't need you
And I waited so frustrated
Who's gonna hold you
I don't need you don't need you now |
I think you fell off of your cloud today
You didn't see it coming or did you
You tried to please everybody
But the sweet breeze swept you away
The sun goes down on a good day
Tomorrow is still an unknown
You think you're all alone in this place
I think you're crazy 'cause I still love you baby
Oh don't fade away baby
Blowing in the wind is getting harder to do
Don't count the days as they leave you
Count them as you find a day new
Don't fade away
Never fade
Hard to breathe, nobody knows it's you
Somebody blows your candle out
You wore a mask, now that's broken too
Everybody else was everything to you
The sun goes down on a good day
Tomorrow is still an unknown
You think everybody wants a fight
I think you're crazy 'cause I still love you baby
Oh don't fade away baby
Blowing in the wind is getting harder to do
Don't count the days as they leave you
Count them as you find a day new
Don't fade away
Never fade
I think you fell out of the sky today
I think you know it's true
You've seen the world, now all you see is me
Tell me now baby what are you gonna do
Oh don't fade away baby
Blowing in the wind is getting harder to do
Don't count the days as they leave you
Count them as you find a day new
Don't fade away
Don't fade away
Don't fade away
Never fade |
Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight
To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that
(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No one will desert you
Just try to never grow up
Never grow up
You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mama's dropping you off
At 14, there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out
Someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your
PJs getting ready for school
(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
No one's ever burned you
Nothing's ever left you scared
Even though you want to, just try to never grow up
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I had is someday gonna be gone
So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up
Oh I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up
Wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple
(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even though you want to, please try to never grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just never grow up |
Look at you
Look at me
Look at who
We could be
I wanna know
Who you are
What you want
From the stars
And everytime I look at you I can hardly say a thing
My head starts to spin
And it hits me then
I love you
And everytime you look at me I could go crazy
But I don't say it but I won't
Cause I'd rather be alone
Than lose you
And all I really wanna do is be next to you
But I'm too tired to fight
And I could tell you now
But baby you never mind
All the time
Everyday
There's nothing I can do baby
To make you go away
So look at you
And look at me
And think of who
We could be
And everytime I look at you I can hardly say a thing
My head starts to spin
And it hits me then
I love you
And everytime you look at me I could go crazy
But I don't say it but I won't
Cause I'd rather be alone
Than lose you
And all I really wanna do is be next to you
But I'm too tired to fight
And I could tell you now
But baby you never mind
All I really wanna say is I need you baby
But how could you understand
What happens if you turn away
And everything turns blue and gray
And I just wish I told you never mind
And I could tell you now
But baby you never mind
Yeaah
Oh yeah
I could tell you now but it never mind
Yeah
Oh yeah yeah
And I could tell you now but it never mind... |
We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything
We wait for trains that just aren't coming
We show off our different scarlet letters
Trust me, mine is better
We're so young, we're on the road to ruin
We play dumb we know exactly what we're doing
We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom
Honey life is just a class room
Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And everyday is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
We're the new romantics
Come on,come along with me
Heartbreak is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
We're too busy dancing
To get knocked off our feet
Baby were the new romantics
The best people in life are free
We're all here the lights and boys are blinding
We hang back it's all in the timing
It's poker, you can't see it in my face
But I'm about to play my Ace
We need love but all we want is danger
We team up and switch sides like a record changer
The rumors are terrible and cruel
But honey most of them are true
Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And everyday is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
We're the new romantics
Come along with me
Heartbreak is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
We're too busy dancing
To get knocked off our feet
Baby were the new romantics
The best people in life are free
Please take my hand and
Please take me dancing and
Please leave me stranded
It's so romantic, so romantic
Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And everyday is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And everyday is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
We're the new romantics
Come along with me
Heartbreak is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
We're too busy dancing
To get knocked off our feet
Baby were the new romantics
The best people in life are free |
There's glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me from the night before
Don't read the last page
But I stay when you're lost and I'm scared and you're turning away
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles
with you on new year's day
You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
I can tell that it's going to be a long road
I'll be there through the toast of the town babe
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home
Don't read the last page
But I stay when it's hard or it's wrong
Or we're making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on new year's day
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
And I will hold on to you
Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
There's glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me forevermore
Don't read the last page
But I stay
when it's hard or it's wrong
Or we're making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on new year's day
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
And I will hold on to you
Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere |
He did it
He did it
Este's a friend of mine
We meet up every Tuesday night
for dinner and a glass of wine
Este's been losin' sleep
Her husband's actin' different, and it smells like infidelity
She says, "That ain't my merlot on his mouth
That ain't my jewelry on our joint account"
No, there ain't no doubt
I think I'm gonna call him out
She says, "I think he did it, but I just can't prove it"
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it
No, no body, no crime
But I ain't lettin' up until the day I die
No, no
I think he did it
No, no
He did it
Este wasn't there Tuesday night at Olive Gardеn
At her job or anywhere
Hе reports his missing wife
And I noticed when I passed his house
His truck has got some brand new tires
And his mistress moved in
Sleeps in Este's bed and everything
No, there ain't no doubt
Somebody's gotta catch him out, 'cause
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it (He did it)
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it (He did it)
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it
No, no body, no crime
But I ain't lettin' up until the day I die
No, no
I think he did it
No, no
He did it
Good thing my daddy made me get
a boating license when I was fifteen
And I've cleaned enough houses
To know how to cover up a scene
Good thing Este's sister's gonna swear she was with me
She was with me, dude
Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy
They think she did it, but they just can't prove it
They think she did it, but they just can't prove it
She thinks I did it, but she just can't prove it
No, no body, no crime
I wasn't lettin' up until the day he
No, no body, no crime
I wasn't lettin' up until the day he
No, no body, no crime
I wasn't lettin' up until the day he died |
I can't believe its been that long,
why didn't your call,
why didn't you write.
was it cause of him or was it just
cause you don't love me anymore.
you could have found some way to contact me.
But I know it's not my fault
Once hes gone I know you'll start to come around
I know its his fault now, you should have told me sooner,
I wouldn't have had to live my life this way.
Now that he's gone will I get to see you again
At least hear your voice again
I think its gonna workout this time around
We can be a family again not like before is gonna e different,
Were gonna do lots of stuff together
I think its gonna work out this time around not like before.
But I know its not my fault
Once he's gone I know youll start to come around
I know its his fault now,
you should have told me sooner
I wouldnt have had to live my life this way
cause I know it's not my fault now. |
Wasn't just like a movie
The rain didn't soak through my clothes
Down to my skin
Driving away and I
I guess you could say
This is the last time I drive this way again
There was nothing to say and I
Try to grab at the fray cause I
I still love you but I can't
Bye bye
To everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye baby
I want you back but it's come down to nothing
And all you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me
Yeah
Picture frame is empty
It's black and white you're smiling down at me
I take your photo off the dash
And back to the conversation
We're so sure of everything
Everything we thought we'd always have
Lost in the sound of there
The here and the now comes in
Seems like I'm becoming
Part of your past
Bye bye
To everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye baby
I want you back but it's come down to nothing
All you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me
And there's so much that I can't touch
You're all I want but it's not enough this time
And I can feel you like you're slipping through my
Hands
And I'm so scared of how this ends
Bye bye
To everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye baby
I want you back but it's come down to nothing
And all you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me
Bye bye
To everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye baby
I want you back but it's come down to nothing
And all you have is to walk away
From the one thing I thought would never leave me
Yeah
There was one thing
I knew would never leave me
It wasn't just like a movie
The rain didn't soak through my clothes
Down to my skin |
Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster
As I step out on my own
There's a new horizon
And the promise of favorable wind
I'm heading out tonight
Traveling light
I'm gonna start all over again
And buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can
Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I won't let fear clip my wings
And tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed
That love had to be so blind
When freedom was waiting, down at the station
All I had to do was make up my mind
And buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can
Well, I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees
Through the valley of the shadow of doubt
Then the truth came shining
Like a light on me
And now I can see my way out
Buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
Buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
I'm gonna have my breakfast
With some pink champagne
Gonna sail the ocean
Gonna spread my wings
Gonna climb that mountain
Gonna do everything |
It keeps me awake
The look on your face
The moment you heard the news
You're screaming inside
And frozen in time
You did all that you could do
The game was rigged, the ref got tricked
The wrong ones think they're right
You were outnumbered — this time
But only the young
Only the young
Only the young
Only the young can run
Can run, so run
And run, and run
So every day now
You brace for the sound
You've only heard on TV
You go to class, scared
Wondering where the best hiding spot would be
And the big bad man and his big bad clan
Their hands are stained with red
Oh, how quickly, they forget
They aren't gonna help us
Too busy helping themselves
They aren't gonna change this
We gotta do it ourselves
They think that it's over
But it's just begun
Only one thing can save us
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young
Only the young (Only the young)
(Don't say you're too tired to fight
It's just a matter of time
Up there's the finish line)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young
Can run
Don't say you're too tired to fight
It's just a matter of time (Can run)
Up there's the finish line
So run, and run, and run
Don't say you're too tired to fight
It's just a matter of time (So run)
Up there's the finish line
And run, and run, and run
Only the young
Only the young
Only the young |
We were standing in an empty room
The moonlight was falling
You were holding my hand
When the car pulled up for you
And I could have spent a life with you
But those days were over
You were calling my name when your face
Faded from view
And wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day
And wasn't it you who told me:
Angels fly in the air tonight
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
I remember waking up with you
The days doing nothing
You meant more to me then than I think you ever knew.
But you were gonna be a doctor, movie star
A poet at a nobel seminar
I hope the world never tore that out of you
Cause wasn't it you who told me the sun
Would always chase the day
Yeah wasn't it you who told me:
Angels fly in the air tonight
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
And what ever happened to the things you loved
And the songs we played, and the indian days
Whatever happened to the things you gave away?
Like harold and maude singing
I was waving as you drove away
The sunlight was falling
You were writing backwards in a dusty window pane
Angels fly in the air tonight
Or was it just like those promises that you made
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
On our last night? |
I was ridin' shotgun
with my hair undone
in the front seat of his car
He's got a one hand feel
on the steering wheel
the other on my heart
I look around turn the radio down
he says "baby, is something wrong?"
I say nothin'
I was just thinkin'
how we don't have a song
and he says:
Our song is the slammin' screen door
sneakin' out late tappin' on your window
when we're on the phone
and you talk real slow
cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh,
the first date, man, I didn't kiss her and I should have
and when I got home
Before I said amen
askin' God if He could play it again
I was walkin' up the front porch steps
after everything that day
had gone all wrong
had been trampled on
and lost and thrown away
got to the hallway
well on my way
to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses and the note that said:
Our song is the slammin' screen door
sneakin' out late tappin' on your window
when we're on the phone
and you talk real slow
cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh,
the first date, man, I didn't kiss her and I should have
and when I got home
Before I said amen
askin' God if He could play it again
I've heard every album, listen to the radio,
waitin' for something to come along
that was as good as our song
(slower)
'Cause our song is the slammin' screen door
sneakin' out late tappin' on his window
when we're on the phone
and he talks real slow
cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs,
the first date, man, I didn't kiss him and I should have
and when I got home
Before I said amen
askin' God if He could play it again
play it again
I was riding shotgun
with my hair undone
in the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
and I wrote down our song |
Elevator buttons and morning air,
Stranger silence makes me wanna take the stairs.
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares,
But right now my time is theirs.
Seems like there's always someone who disapproves.
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do.
The jury's out, my choice is you.
(Chorus)
So don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard.
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours.
You never know what people have up their sleeves,
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me.
Lurking in the shadows with their lipgloss smiles,
But I don't care.
Cause right now you're mine.
And you'll say,
(Chorus)
So don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard.
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours.
And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong
And your hands are tough but they are where mine belong in.
I'll fight their doubts and give you faith with this song for you
Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak.
And any snide remarks from my father
About your tattoos will be ignored
Cause my heart is yours
So don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard.
So don't you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours. |
Looking at it now, it all seemed so simple
We were lying on your couch
I remember
You took a Polaroid of us, then discovered
The rest of the world was black and white
But we were in screaming color
And I remember thinking
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods?
Looking at it now, last December
We were built to fall apart
Then fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn't quite forget
When we decided, we decided
To move the furniture so we could dance
Baby, like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying
And I remember thinking
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods?
Remember when you hit the brakes too soon
Twenty stitches in a hospital room
When you started crying
Baby, I did too
But when the sun came up
I was looking at you
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
I walked out, I said "I'm setting you free"
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
When the sun came up
You were looking at me
You were looking at me, oh
You were looking at me
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
I remember
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Oh, I remember
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good |
Our coming-of-age has come and gone
Suddenly this summer, it's clear
I never had the courage of my convictions
As long as danger is near
And it's just around the corner, darlin'
'Cause it lives in me
No, I could never give you peace
But I'm a fire
and I'll keep your brittle heart warm
If your cascade, ocean wave blues come
All these people think love's for show
But I would die for you in secret
The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
Your integrity makes me seem small
You paint dreamscapes on the wall
I talk shit with my friends
It's like I'm wasting your honor
And you know that I'd swing with you for the fences
Sit with you in the trenches
Give you my wild, give you a child
Give you the silence that only comes
when two people understand each other
Family that I chose
Now that I see your brother as my brother
Is it enough?
But there's robbers to the east, clowns to the west
I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best
But the rain is always gonna come if you're standin' with me
But I'm a fire
and I'll keep your brittle heart warm
If your cascade, ocean wave blues come
All these people think love's for show
But I would die for you in secret
The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace? |
If you love me then I love you
Swear by the freckles on the moon
And maybe this will be enough
I'd like to keep you till I'm old
But if I can't at least I know
That baby, perfect have I loved
Do you remember the stupid things we used to do
Before September stole me away from you
The time we got your truck stuck in the creek
‘Cause baby, roads weren't wild enough for you and me
If you love me then I love you
Swear by the freckles on the moon
And maybe this will be enough
I'd like to keep you till I'm old
But if I can't at least I know
That baby, perfect have I loved
I can still see it
That little bridge we used to cross
I finally made it
Trying to get lost
You would smile that smile and I'd try so hard to forget
‘Cause of all the little fires that I haven't put out yet
If you love me then I love you
Swear by the freckles on the moon
And maybe this will be enough
I'd like to keep you till I'm old
But if I can't at least I know
That baby, perfect have I loved
Love was all we ever knew
And faith was growing on the vine
Words were all we had
And one summer you were mine
If you love me then I love you
Swear by the freckles on the moon
And maybe this will be enough
I'd like to keep you till I'm old
But if I can't at least I know
That baby, perfect have I loved |
I know he loved you
A long time ago
I ain't jealous of you
Just thought you should know
You were never good enough
for him or anything like me
So you might as well sit back
Cause I ain't trying to show maturity
X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker, oh yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were making
Who do you think you are?
To write on his heart in permanent marker
So I found that picture
Of you in that green dress
Sure had a good time
Cleaning up that mess
He found thirty other pieces but he'll never find them all
Tried to tape them back together
Now he knows to keep it off the wall
X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker, oh yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were making
Who do you think you are?
To write on his heart in permanent marker
Well I don't appreciate you calling him to reminisce
The only reason is you're seeing
Just how much better off he is
X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker, oh yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were making
Who do you think you are?
To write on his heart in permanent marker |
State the obvious
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realized you love yourself
More than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine, you won't mind if I say
By the way
I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn
There's no time for tears
I'm just sittin' here, plannin'
my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From goin' out with all of
your best friends
And if you come around sayin' sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you
How sorry you'll be
'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn
And if you're missin' me
You better keep it to yourself
'Cause comin' back around here
Would be bad for your health
'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven't heard
I really, really hate
That stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn
Burn, burn, burn
Baby, burn
Just another picture to burn
Baby, burn |
Time is passing slowly for the eight year old next door
But mama's watch is ticking off the wall
Jillian and Bobby think that they're a perfect pair
But girls could say he's just a bit too tall
You don't have to do to win big
You just have to think it
Some folks say the glass is half full
Others choose to drink it
Some say the grass could be greener
And the other side ain't far away
But I say the old could be newer
And love still counts when it doesn't stay
Some say I love you
Some say love needs proof
It's all in your point of view
He hated pink so she threw out her favorite clothes
His NFL was turned to TLC
Baby's got an attitude and thinks they just don't know
But they all do and wish that she could see
You don't have to do to win big
You just have to think it
Some folks say the glass is half full
Others choose to drink it
Some say the grass could be greener
And the other side ain't far away
But I say the old could be newer
And love still counts when it doesn't stay
Some say I love you
Some say love needs proof
It's all in your point of view
In the least or masterpiece
Depends on one's opinion
Worst of all they never call
But don't think that they weren't wishing
Some say the grass could be greener
And the other side ain't far away
But I say the old could be newer
And love still counts when it doesn't stay
Some say I love you
Some say love needs proof
It's all in your point of view
It's all in your point of view
Point of view
It's all in your point of view |
Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?
Razzle and a dazzle and a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah
Yeah!
C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah
Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah
Yeah!
Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love

From my head to my feet, yeah
You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
Cause I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet
From my head, my head, to my feet
Do you take sugar?
One lump or two?
Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me

I had a conversation with the mirror
It ended up not having much to say
It said today was for the lovers and believers
I hate to tell you, it just ain't your day
So this is my rain song
It's cold outside and I still love you
Guess I was dead wrong
You find out when there's clouds above you
Finding it ain't worth losing you
When it all comes down, it comes down to
This lonely rain song
You're on my mind and I still love you
I had some complications with the voices
‘Round and going ‘round inside my mind
I used to think this heart had lots of choices
But they all lead to your doorstep every time
So this is my rain song
It's cold outside and I still love you
Guess I was dead wrong
You find out when there's clouds above you
Finding it ain't worth losing you
When it all comes down, it comes down to
This lonely rain song
You're on my mind and I still love you
So this is my apology
My words, my tears, are all me
Laid out in front of you
Like the thought were true on a sunny afternoon
This is a song for you
So this is my rain song
It's cold outside and I still love you
Guess I was dead wrong
You find out when there's clouds above you
Finding it ain't worth losing you
When it all comes down, it comes down to
This lonely rain song
You're on my mind and I still love you
I still love you
I had a conversation with the mirror
It ended up not having much to say |
Knew he was a killer
First time that I saw him
Wondered how many girls he had loved
And left haunted
But if he's a ghost
Then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom, some
Some boys are tryin' too hard
He don't try at all though
Younger than my exes
But he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta
I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Knew I was a robber
First time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off
And never sayin' sorry
But if I'm a thief
Then he can join the heist, and
We'll move to an island, and
And he can be my jailer
Burton to this taylor
Every love I've known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now
I'm so very tame now
Never be the same now, now
I, I, I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
Are you ready for it?
In my dreams
We'd do, baby
Yeah, in the middle of the night
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby |
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
Faster than the wind passionate as sin end so suddenly
Loving him is like tryin'a change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in Autumn so bright just before they lost it all
Losing him was blue, like I've never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite songs
Fighting with him was like tryin'a solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you'd never find out that love could be that strong
Losing him was blue, like I've never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Burning red
Remembering him comes in flashbacks, in echoes
Telling myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible when I still see it all in my head
Burning red
Loving him was red
Oh, losing him was blue, like I've never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like tryin'a know somebody you never met
‘Cause loving him was red
We're burning red
And that's why he's spinning round in my head
Comes back to me burning red
His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street |
It's 10am, I catch the morning train,
And there you are, you smile, with a seat you've saved,
Saying "Hey, I've been waiting for ya".
We'd talk about our dreams, you'd talk 'bout everything,
We'd go so loud, but we don't care,
Cause all we care is that we're having so much fun.
You'd tell me 'bout your life, you'd learn a bit 'bout mine,
And just like that I swear it's like we've known each other our whole lives.
And this moment is perfect.
Train tracks grind still everyone can hear us.
Don't you dare be quiet.
This journey's ours, yeah this journey's ours.
Lets take the ride of our lives.
This is the moment where the chemistry happens,
Yeah that special connection.
These are the days of our lives.
These are the times you'll never forget.
Never regret as long as we ride here side by side.
We can speak, we can dream,
This is our time, you and me,
Lets have the ride of our lives.
As we watch the world outside the window past,
I'd pray, hoping that this moment lasts.
It's hard not to laugh out loud baby when you crack a joke.
You've got me smiling, got me thinking that I've got it all.
You make a promise to me; promise this will be our tradition,
Cause every time we ride together it's like stranger than fiction.
I don't ever want this train ride to come to an end,
But when it does baby, we can do it all over again.
And the train's coming to a stop,
I'm still so lost in you I can't bare to get off.
You kiss me on the spot.
“See you tomorrow, yeah tomorrow we can…” |
Friends break up, friends get married
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
But I'm right where you left me
Matches burn after the other
Pages turn and stick to each other
Wages earned and lessons learned
But I'm right where you left me
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight"
I, I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
Right when I felt the moment stop
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on, I, I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
They expected me to find somewhere
Some perspective, but I sat and stared
Right where you left me
You left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
You left me, you left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?
Time went on for everybody else
She won't know it, she's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
How it was supposed to be
Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?
Breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it
She's still twenty-three inside her fantasy
And you're sitting in front of me
At the restaurant when I was still the one you want
Cross-legged in the dim light everything was just right
I, I could feel the mascara run
You told me that you met someone
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight"
I, I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
I'm sure that you got a wife out there
Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware
Cause I'm right where I cause no harm
Mind my business
If our love died young
I can't bear witness
And it's been so long
But if you ever think you got it wrong
I'm right where
You left me
You left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
You left me
You left me no, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever |
I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream
Oh, and they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
There's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Oh, and they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong |
I remember your barefeet down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor
Plastic dinosaurs
I love you to the moon and back
I remember your blue eyes
Looking into mine
Like we had our own secret club
I remember you dancing before bedtime
Then jumping on me, waking me up
I can still feel you hold my hand
Little man, and even the moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you
"Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here"
You were my best four years
I remember the drive home
When the blind hope
Turned to crying and screaming why
Flowers pile up in the worst way
No one knows what to say about a beautiful boy who died
And it's about to be Halloween
You could be anything
You wanted if you were still here
I remember the last day
When I kissed your face and whispered in your ear
"Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here"
Out of this curtained room and this hospital gray
We'll just disappear
"Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here"
You were my best four years
What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you
What if I kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through
What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you
"Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here"
"Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here"
You were my best four years
I remember your barefeet down the hallway
I love you to the moon and back |
I remember your bare feet, down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor, plastic dinosaurs
I love you to the moon and back
I remember your blue eyes looking into mine
Like we had our own secret club
I remember you dancing before bed time
Then jumping on me, waking me up
I can still feel you hold my hand, little man
And even the moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you
"Come on, baby, with me
We're going to fly away from here
You were my best four years"
I remember the drive home
When the blind hope turned to crying and screaming "Why? "
Flowers pile up in the worst way, no one knows what to say
About a beautiful boy who died
And it's about to be Halloween
You could be anything you wanted if you were still here
I remember the last day, when I kissed your face
And whispered in your ear
"Come on, baby, with me
We're going to fly away from here
Out of this curtained room and this hospital gray
we'll just disappear
Come on, baby, with me
We're going to fly away from here
You were my best four years"
What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you?
And what if I kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into?
And what if I really thought some miracle
would see us through?
What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you?
Come on, baby, with me
We're going to fly away from here
Come on, baby, with me
We're going to fly away from here
You were my best four years
I remember your bare feet, down the hallway
I love you to the moon and back |
If there's a plane or a bus leaving Dallas
I hope you're on it...
If there's a train moving fast down the tracks

You ought to be...
So, catcha ride, catch a cab
Don't you know I miss you bad
But don't you walk to me..
Baby run...
Cut a path across the blue skies...
Straight in a straight line

Leanon the gas and off the clutch...
Leave Dallas in the dust...

So baby run...
So baby run...
If you ain't got a suitcase
Get a box or an old brown paper sac...
Pack it light or pack it heavy...

Why don't you take it?
Don't let that speed limit slow ya down...
Go on and break it...
Baby break it!

So baby run...
Run to me

So baby run... |
One, two, three, four
Give me the keys, I'll bring the car back around
We shouldn't be in this town
And my so-called friends, they don't know
I'd drive away before I let you go
So give me a reason and don't say no, no
There's a chain 'round your throat
Piece of paper where I wrote
"I'll wait for you"
There's a key on the chain, there's a picture in a frame
Take it with you
And run, like you'd run from the law
Darling, let's run
Run from it all
We can go where our eyes can take us
Go where no one else is, run
Ooh, we'll run
Ooh, we'll run
Ooh, we'll run
So you laugh like a child
And I'll sing like no one cares
No one to be, no one to tell
I could see this view a hundred times
Pale blue sky reflected in your eyes
So give me a reason and don't say no, no
And the note from the locket, you keep it in your pocket
Since I gave it to you
There's a heart on your sleeve
I'll take it when I leave
And hold it for you
And run, like you'd run from the law
Darling, let's run
Run from it all
We can go like they're trying to chase us
Go where no one else is, run
Ooh, we'll run
Ooh, we'll run
Ooh, we'll run
There's been this hole in my heart
This thing was a shot in the dark
Say you'll never let 'em tear us apart
And I'll hold onto you while we run
(And we run, and we run, and we run)
Like you'd run from the law
(And we run, and we run, and we run)
Darling, let's run (And we run, and we run, and we run)
Run from it all (And we run, and we run, and we run)
We can go where our eyes can take us
(And we run, and we run, and we run)
Go where no one else is, run
(And we run, and we run, and we run)
Ooh, we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)
Ooh, we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)
Ooh, we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)
Ooh, and we'll run |
Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket
Words, how little they mean,
when they're a little too late
I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket
Good girls, hopeful they'll be, long we will wait
We had a beautiful magic love there
What a sad beautiful tragic love affair
In dreams, I meet you in long conversation
We both wake in lonely beds, and different cities
And time is taking a sweet time erasing you
And you've got your demons
And darling they all look like me
Cause we had a beautiful magic love there
What a sad beautiful tragic love affair
Distance, tire me, break down, fighting
Silence, train runs off his tracks
Kiss me, try to fix it, could you just try to listen?
Hang up, give up, and for the life of us we can't get back
A beautiful magic love there
What a sad beautiful tragic, beautiful tragic, beautiful
We had a beautiful magic love there
What a sad beautiful tragic love affair
We had a beautiful magic love there
What a sad beautiful tragic love affair |

What a sad, beautiful, tragic, beautiful, tragic, beautiful

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window
Darling, everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound... |
I'm still wearing my blue jeans
No I don't know what you mean
I'm still the same girl
Picking daisies in the field
I believe in what I feel
I've always been the same girl
Some moments change your life
This could be one of them
I'm just living life and thinking
Hey this could be fun
I've always been the same girl
Living in the same world
Singing little songs at the break of dawn girl
Sitting on the front porch
Do do do do do
Watching what you say girl
Never blow away girl
Living in the crazy world
I've always been the same girl
I still live in one small town
But always love to move around
I've always been the same girl
Still keep diaries that say
Where I was and did that day
I've always been the same girl
Some moments change your life
This could be one of them
I'm just living life and thinking
Hey this could be fun
I've always been the same girl
Living in the same world
Singing little songs at the break of dawn girl
Sitting on the front porch
Do do do do do
Watching what you say girl
Never blow away girl
Living in the crazy world
I've always been the same girl
Some days will change your life
Yeah this could be one of them
I'm just living life and thinking...
I've always been the same girl
Living in the same world
Singing little songs at the break of dawn girl
Sitting on the front porch
Do do do do do
Watching what you say girl
Never blow away girl
Living in the crazy world
I've always been the same girl
Living in the crazy world
I've always been the same girl |
Santa Baby,
Slip a sable under the tree,
For me,
I've been an awful good girl,
Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby,
A fifty four convertable too,
Light blue,
I'll wait up for you dear,
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
yeah yeah
Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the boys I haven't kissed,
Next year I could be just as good,
If you check off my Christmas list
Santa baby,
I want a yacht and really that's not a lot,
I've been an angel all year,
Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight,
Santa honey
There's one more thing I really do need,
The deed,
To a platinum mine,
Santa honey,
So hurry down the chimney tonight,
Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's,
I really do believe in you,
Let's see if you believe in me,
Santa baby,
Forgot to mention one little thing,
A ring,
And I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight |
Do you remember
The 28th night of September?
Love was changin' the minds of pretenders
Or chasin' the clouds away
Our hearts were ringin'
In the key that our souls were singin'
As we danced in the night, remember
How the stars stole the night away
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Hey, say that you remember
Ai, ai, dancin' in September
Ai, ai, never was a cloudy day
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love
Remember how we knew love was here to stay
Now, December found the love that
we shared in September
Only blue talk and love
Remember the love that we share today
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Hey, say that you remember
Ai, ai, dancin' in September
Ai, ai, never was a cloudy day
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Hey, say that you remember
Ai, ai, dancin' in September
Ai, ai, golden dreams were shiny days
Do you remember
The 28th night of September?
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Hey, say that you remember
Ai, ai, dancin' in September
Ai, ai, never was a cloudy day
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Hey, say that you remember
Ai, ai, dancin' in September
Ai, ai, golden dreams were shiny days
And there never was a cloudy day
There never was a cloudy day |
Please picture me in the trees
I hit my peak at seven
Feet in the swing over the creek
I was too scared to jump in
But I, I was high in the sky
With Pennsylvania under me
Are there still beautiful things?
Sweet tea in the summer
Cross your heart, won't tell no other
And though I can't recall your face
I still got love for you
Your braids like a pattern
Love you to the Moon and to Saturn
Passed down like folk songs
The love lasts so long
And I've been meaning to tell you
I think your house is haunted
Your dad is always mad and that must be why
And I think you should come live with me
And we can be pirates
Then you won't have to cry
Or hide in the closet
And just like a folk song
Our love will be passed on
Please picture me in the weeds
Before I learned civility
I used to scream ferociously
Any time I wanted
I, I
Sweet tea in the summer
Cross my heart, won't tell no other
And though I can't recall your face
I still got love for you
Pack your dolls and a sweater
We'll move to India forever
Passed down like folk songs
Our love lasts so long |
You want me to go?
I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say
That's what people say
I go on too many dates
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say
That's what people say
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind, saying it's gonna be alright
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, baby
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
I never miss a beat
I'm lighting up my feet
And that's what they don't see
That's what they don't see
I'm dancing on my own
I'll make the rules up as I go
And that's what they don't know
That's what they don't know
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music
In my mind, saying it's gonna be alright
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, baby
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off, shake it off I I
Shake it off, shake it off I I
Shake it off, shake it off I I I I
So, while you been getting down about the liars
And the dirty dirty cheats of the world
You could have been getting down to this sick beat
My ex man brought his new girlfriend
She's like oh my god
I'm just gonna shake shake
To the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over baby we could
Shake, shake, shake
Haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Heartbreakers gonna break
And the fakers gonna fake
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
I shake, shake, shake
Shake it off
Shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break
Fake, fake, fake
Shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off, shake it off
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
I shake it off |
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything: is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you: feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes...
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, but what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
You can see that I've been crying
And baby you know all the right things: to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same...
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes...
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, but what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
I can't resist... before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it...
Was she worth this...
No... no no no...
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, but what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me |
Silent night, holy night.
All is calm, all is bright.
'round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night.
Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia.
Christ, the savior, is born! christ, the savior, is born!
Silent night, holy night.
Son of god, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from thy holy place,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, lord at thy birth,
Jesus lord at thy birth.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Christ, the savior, is born! |
Let's watch
The tide chase
The waves
Onto the sand
I wonder
If a broken heart
Feel the warmth
On my hand
And I wonder
What a piece
Of driftwood
Has seen all through
His lifetime
Let's walk away
The past through
The smokey black nights
I've seen
A million things
Spoke a million words
Now I only want
To speak to you
Waiting for the words
Counting every bird
There's nothing
I'd rather do
On the
Smokey black nights
Still through
The haze
I can make out
Constellations
I'll make one
Of you and me
As we sit
In the sand
And I saw
That sunset gleamin
As my eyes went wild
Let's walk away
The past through
The smokey black nights
I've played
A thousand songs
Sang a thousand words
Now I only want
To sing to you
Waited on a wire
Starin' at the fire
There's nothing
I'd rather do
On the
Smokey black nights
I've walked
A thousand miles
Smiled
A thousand smiles
Now I only smile
When I'm with you
Waiting for the words
Counting every bird
There's nothing
I'd rather do
On the
Smokey black nights
So walk with me
As the sweet
Wind dances
I'll write a song
For you and me
On the
Smokey black nights |
See you in the dark
All eyes on you, my magician
All eyes on us
You make everyone disappear, and
Cut me into pieces
Gold cage, hostage to my feelings
Back against the wall
Trippin', trip-trippin' when you're gone
'Cause we break down a little
And when you get me alone,
it's so simple
'Cause baby, I know what you know
We can feel it
And our pieces fall
Right into place
Get caught up in the moments
Lipstick on your face
So it goes...
I'm yours to keep
And I'm yours to lose
You know I'm not a bad girl, but I
Do bad things with you
So it goes...
Meet you in a bar
All eyes on me, your illusion is
All eyes on us
I make all your grey days clear and
Wear you like a necklace
I'm so chill,
but you make me jealous
But I got your heart
Skippin', skip-skippin' when I'm gone
'Cause we break down a little
And when you get me alone,
it's so simple
'Cause baby, I know what you know
We can feel it
And our pieces fall
Right into place
Get caught up in the moments
Lipstick on your face
So it goes...
I'm yours to keep
And I'm yours to lose
You know I'm not a bad girl,
but I
Do bad things with you
So it goes...
Come here, dressed in black now
So, so, so it goes...
Scratches down your back now
So, so, so it goes...
You did a number on me
But, honestly, baby,
who's counting?
I did a number on you
But, honestly, baby,
who's counting?
You did a number on me
But, honestly, baby,
who's counting?
Who's counting?
1, 2, 3
And our pieces fall (pieces fall)
Right into place
Get caught up in the moments
(caught up, caught up)
Lipstick on your face
So it goes...
I'm yours to keep (oh)
And I'm yours to lose (baby)
You know I'm not a bad girl,
but I
Do bad things with you
So it goes...
Come here, dressed in black now
So, so, so it goes...
Scratches down your back now
So, so, so it goes...
Come here, dressed in black now
So, so, so it goes...
Scratches down your back now
So, so, so it goes... |
The buttons of my coat were tangled in my hair
In doctor's office lighting
I didn't tell you I was scared
That was the first time we were there
Holy orange bottles, each night, I pray to you
Desperate people find faith
So now I pray to Jesus too
And I say to you
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
You'll get better soon
'Cause you have to
I know delusion when I see it in the mirror
You like the nicer nurses
You make the best of a bad deal
I just pretend it isn't real
I'll paint the kitchen neon, I'll brighten up the sky
I know I'll never get it
There's not a day that I won't try
And I say to you
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better
Ooh-ah
You'll get better soon
'Cause you have to
And I hate to make this all about me
But who am I supposed to talk to?
What am I supposed to do
If there's no you?
This won't go back to normal, if it ever was
It's been years of hoping
And I keep saying it because
'Cause I have to
Ooh-ah
You'll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon, you'll get better

The way you move is like a fool on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kinda reckless that should send me running
But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Give me something that'll hunt me when you're not around
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something
You find I'm even better than you
Imagined I would be
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go out
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me
It's just wrong enough to make you feel right
Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'm captivated by you baby
Like a firework show
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Sparks fly, baby smile, sparks fly |

I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion.
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl.
I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family
all dressed in pastels
And she is yelling at a brides maid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastery
This is surely not what you'd thought it would be.
I lose myself in a daydream.
Better stand and say,
Don't say yes.
Run away now.
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door.
Don't wait or say a single vow.
You need to hear me out and they said speak now.
Fun gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play a song
That sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvided by your lovely bride to be.
She floats down the isle like a pageant queen.
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me
Don't you?
Don't say yes
Run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door.
Don't wait or say a single vow.
You need to hear me out and they said speak now.
Don't say yes
Run away now
I'll meet you when you're out at the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow.
Your time is running out and they said speak now.
Oooooh, la la la, oh
Oooooh, la la la, oh
I hear the preacher say
"speak now or forever hold your peace"
There's the silence
There's my last chance
I stand up with shaky hands
All eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I'm only looking at you.
I am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion.
But you are not the kind of boy,
Who should be marrying the wrong girl.
So don't say yes
Run away now
I'll meet you in your alt at the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow.
You need to hear me out, said speak now.
And you say
Lets run away now
I'll meet you in an alt in my tux at the back door
Hey hey, I didn't say my vow
So glad you were around when they said speak now. |
Days go by, I wonder if you hear me
Can't you read between the lines
Now I'm standing still, I am disappearing
Take this chance, I'll make you mine
And don't you wonder why
You change in time
Makes you feel so empty inside
But love's got me cornered in the back of the room
I'm spinning around, spinning around
And all I see is someone I don't know
Love's got me tangled, tired me too
No sign of a wall, sign of a wall
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you
He tells lies, are you really thinking
That you deserve another try
And when you see these eyes you see another planet
Don't ask how, but fate decides
And don't you wonder why
You change in time
Makes you feel so empty inside
But love's got me cornered in the back of the room
I'm spinning around, spinning around
And all I see is someone I don't know
Love's got me tangled, tired me too
No sign of a wall, sign of a wall
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you
Spinning and turning and living and learning
I should be able to handle this
Make it or break it, move it or shake it
Do it or fake it, girl you've got to make it
But love's got me cornered in the back of the room
I'm spinning around, spinning around
And all I see is someone I don't know
Love's got me tangled, tired me too
No sign of a wall, sign of a wall
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you |
I said oh my, what a marvellous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
And we were dancing dancing
Like we're made of starlight
Like we're made of starlight
I met Bobby on the boardwalk, summer of '45
Picks me up, play one night at the window
He was 17 and crazy, running wild, wild
Can't remember what song it was playing
When we walked in
The night we snook into a yacht club party
Pretending to be a duchess and a prince
I said oh my, what a marvellous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
And we were dancing dancing
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
He still look at you worrying so much
About things you can't change
You'll spend your whole life singing the blues
If you keep thinking away
He was trying to skip rocks on the ocean saying to me
Don't you see the starlight, starlight?
Don't you dream impossible things?
Like oh my, what a marvellous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
And we were dancing, dancing
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Ooh ooh he's talking crazy
Ooh ooh dancing with me
Ooh ooh we could get married
Have ten kids and teach them how to dream
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh my, what a marvellous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
And we were dancing, dancing
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Like we dream impossible dreams
Like starlight starlight
Like we dream impossible dreams
Don't you see the starlight starlight
Don't you dream impossible things |
I said, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune"
It was the best night
Never would forget how he moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines
And we were dancing, dancing
Like we're made of starlight
Like we're made of starlight
I met Bobby on the boardwalk, summer of '45
Picks me up late one night
Out the window, we were seventeen and crazy, running wild, wild
Can't remember what song it was playing when we walked in
The night we snuck into a yacht club party
Pretending to be a duchess and a prince
And I said, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune"
It was the best night, never would forget how he moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines
And we were dancing, dancing
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
He said, "Look at you
worrying too much about things you can't change
You'll spend your whole life singing the blues
if you keep thinking that way"
He was trying to skip rocks on the ocean, saying to me
"Don't you see the starlight, starlight?
Don't you dream impossible things? "
Like, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune"
It was the best night, never would forget how he moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines
And we were dancing, dancing
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Ooh-ooh, he's talking crazy
Ooh-ooh, dancing with me
Ooh-ooh, we could get married
Have ten kids and teach 'em how to dream
(Ooh, hoo, hoo)
(Ooh, hoo, hoo)
(Ooh, hoo, hoo)
(Ooh, hoo, hoo)
Oh my, what a marvelous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how he moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines
And we were dancing, dancing
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Like we're made of starlight, starlight
Like we dream impossible dreams
Like starlight, starlight (Ooh, hoo, hoo)
Like we dream impossible dreams (Ooh, hoo, hoo)
Don't you see the starlight, starlight? (Ooh, hoo, hoo)
Don't you dream impossible things? |
I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
And all we know is touch and go
We are alone with our changing minds
We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time
And I never saw you coming
And I'll never be the same
You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannonball
Now all we know, is don't let go
We are alone just you and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes
So you were never a saint
And I've loved in shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
But this love is brave and wild
And I never saw you coming
And I'll never be the same again
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right
These are the hands of fate
You're my Achilles heel
This is the golden age of something good
And right and real
And I never saw you coming
And I'll never be the same
And I never saw you coming
And I'll never be the same
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right |
I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
And all we know is touch and go
We are alone with our changing minds
We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds
Or fades in time
And I never
Saw you comin'
And I'll never
Be the same
You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannonball
Now all we know is don't let go
We are alone, just you and me

You're my Achilles heel
This is the golden age of something good and right and real
And I never
Saw you comin'
And I'll never
Be the same, oh
Oh, I never
Saw you comin'
And I'll never
Be the same
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right |
I'm walking fast through the traffic lights

And I'll never be the same
(So you were never a saint, and I loved in shades of wrong)
(We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts)
(But this love is brave and wild)
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right |
Cory's eyes are like a jungle
He smiles, it's like the radio
He whispers songs into my window
In words nobody knows
There's pretty girls on every corner
That watch him as he's walking home
Saying, does he know
Will you ever know
[chorus:]
You're beautiful
Every little piece love, don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh but if it don't, stay beautiful
Cory finds another way to be
The highlight of my day
I'm taking pictures in my mind
So I can save them for a rainy day
It's hard to make conversation
When he's taking my breath away
I should say, hey by the way
[chorus]
You're beautiful
Every little piece love, don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh but if it don't, stay beautiful
If you and I are a story
That never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know
You're beautiful
Every little piece love, don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my front door
Oh but if it don't, do you stay beautiful
Beautiful, beauti-ful, beautiful, beauti-ful.
Ohh la la la
Ohhh ohhhh
Oh but if you don't, stay beautiful.
Stay beautiful. |
I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night
I threw my phone across the room at you
I was expecting some dramatic turn away
But you stayed
This morning I said we should talk about it
Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved
That's when you came in wearing a football helmet
And said okay let's talk
And I said
Stay stay stay
I've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay
Before you I only dated self indulgent takers
Who took all of their problems out on me
But you carrying my groceries and now I'm always laughing
And I love you because you have given me no choice but to
Stay stay stay
I've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay, stay, stay, stay
You took the time to memorize me
My feels my hopes and dreams
I just like hanging out with you all the time
All those times that you didn't leave
It's been occuring to me
I'd like to hang out with you for my whole life
Stay and I'll be loving you for quite some time
No one else is gonna love me when I get mad mad mad
So I think that it's best if we both stay stay stay stay
Stay stay stay
I've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay stay stay stay

Let me know how's it feel
To be under my skin
Wrapped around my heart
Is it like anywhere you've been?
And everything I do, I do it just for you
So why the hell don't you love me?
Why the hell don't you need me
Like I need you?
Why are you so far above me?
Don't you know that there's nothing I wouldn't do?
But I was just a toy
That's what you destroyed
Stupid boy
I have been, looking in
Trying to read your mind
Give you the benefit of the doubt
Every single time
But didn't you waltz right by
I'm screamin' out inside
Why the hell don't you love me?
Why the hell don't you need me
Like I need you?
Why are you so far above me?
Don't you know that there's nothing I wouldn't do?
But I was just a toy
That's what you destroyed
Stupid boy
What happens when you wake up
And see what you've lost
Take one look at me cause
That's what it cost
I was gonna be everything you need
Cause you are everything to me
So why the hell don't you love me?
Why the hell don't you need me
Like I need you?
Why are you so far above me?
Don't you know that there's nothing I wouldn't do?
But I was just a toy
That's what you destroyed
Stupid boy
Let me know how's it feel
To be under my skin |
What a thing to see, what a thing to be
What a perfect love, what a perfect home
'Cause every time she walks and
Every time she talks
Is every time he knows what a perfect world he's living on
But whenever he's gone
And when she is all alone
His heart goes out to her on the telephone
And he says sugar, how I love you
How I think about you all the time
He calls her sugar
'Cause she's the sweetest thing
Oh, she's the best thing he'll ever find
With her midnight hair and
With his favorite stare
She's a southern belle, he's a rock out king
When she looks around
Oh she knows she's found
Such a perfect life, such a perfect thing
And whenever he's gone
And when she is all alone
His heart goes out to her on the telephone
And he says sugar, how I love you
How I think about you all the time
He calls her sugar
'Cause she's the sweetest thing
Oh, she's the best thing he'll ever find
Oh there's a reason for every season
There's a change within the range of every heart
But the reason and the season
Seem to be right so far
And he says sugar, how I love you
How I think about you all the time
He calls her sugar
'Cause she's the sweetest thing
Oh, she's the best thing he'll ever find
He calls her sugar |
Tall, dark and supermanly
He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away
To save the world or go to work
It's the same thing to me
He's got his mother's eyes, his father's ambition
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him
I hang on every word you say, yay
And you smile and say, "How are you? "
I say, "Just fine"
I always forget to tell you, I love you, I love you...
Forever
I watch superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around
I watch superman fly away
Come back I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
Tall, dark and beautiful
He's complicated, he's irrational
But I hope someday you'll take me away and save the day, yeah
Something in his deep brown eyes has me sayin'
He's not all bad like his reputation
And I can't hear one single word they say
And you'll leave, got places to be and I'll be OK
I always forget to tell you I love you,
I loved you from the very first day
I watch superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world I'll be around
I watch superman fly away
Come back I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
And I watch you fly around the world
And I hope you don't save some other girl
Don't forget, don't forget about me
I'm far away but I never let you go
I'm lovestruck and looking out the window
Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be
Right here wishing the flowers were from you
Wishing the card was from you
Wishing the call was from you
'Cause I loved you from the very first day
I watch superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around...
Forever and ever here
I watch superman fly away
I swear I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
When you come back down |
This is wrong but
I can't help but feel like
There ain't nothin' more right babe
Misty morning comes again and I can't
Help but wish I could see your face
And I knew from the first note played,
I'd be breaking all my roles to see you
You smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Morning loneliness
Comes around when I'm not dreaming about you
When my world wakes up today
You'll be in another town
And I knew when I saw your face I'd be
Counting down the ways to see you
And you smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
You played in bars, you play guitar
And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are
And you'll never see you sing me to sleep
Every night from the radio
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Sweet, sweet superstar
Superstar |

Tire swing, summer dreams
Honeysuckle on the breeze, Wilson County creek
Laying in the green grass, I was watching clouds pass
Baby you were watching me
Cold barn, truck bed
Everything you said slowly educating me
I never had a lesson so sweet
You can get high on a first kiss
You can get by on sweet tea and God's graces
You can love like a sinner and lose like a winner
Nothing's shatterproof
You can crash and burn and come back someone new
And that's what I learned from you
Autumn rain, windowpane
Look at how the leaves changed, just like the two of us
I've still got your laugh, your ghost, your jacket
Guess I loved you way too much
Now I'm a little smarter, my heart's a little harder
But it's still soft enough to cry
‘Cause I remember those times...I remember
You can get high on a first kiss
You can get by on sweet tea and God's graces
You can love like a sinner and lose like a winner
Nothing's shatterproof
You can crash and burn and come back someone new
And that's what I learned from you
Saw you just the other day
All that I could think to say
Is hey how have you been
You caught me with that old smile
Said it's really been a while
I still think about back when...
We used to get high on a first kiss
We could get by on sweet tea and Jesus
You can love like a sinner and lose like a winner
Nothing's shatterproof
You can crash and burn and now I'm someone new
And that's what I learned from you |
Tire swings, summer dreams, honeysuckle on the breeze
Whistle County creek
Laying in the green grass, I was watching clouds pass
Baby, you were watching me
Cold barn struck bed, everything you said
Slowly educating me
I never had a lesson so sweet
You can get high on a first kiss
You can get by with sweet tea and God's graces
You can love like a sinner and lose like a winner
Nothing's shatterproof
You can crash and burn and come back someone new
And that's what I learned from you
Autumn rain, window pane, looking how the leaves change
Just like the two of us
Still got your laugh, your ghost, your jacket
Guess I loved you way too much
But I'm a little smarter,
My heart's a little harder
But it's still soft enough to cry
Cause I remember those times
I remember
You can get high on a first kiss
You can get by with sweet tea and God's graces
You can love like a sinner and lose like a winner
Nothing's shatterproof
You can crash and burn and come back someone new
And that's what I learned from you
Saw you just the other day
All that I could think to say was,
"Hey, how have you been?"
You caught me with that old smile
Said, "It's really been a while,
And I still think about back when.."
We used to get high on the first kiss
We could get by with sweet tea and Jesus
And you can love like a sinner and lose like a winner
Nothing's shatterproof
You can crash and burn and now I'm someone new
And that's what I learned from you
Oh, that's what I learned from you
That's what I learned from you, oh you, oh
That's what I learned from you, oh yeah |
Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground (oh, oh)
Only sound, only sound that you hear is "no"
You never saw it coming
Except when you started running
And now you come undone (I, I, I)
Seen you fall, seen you crawl on you knees (eh, eh)
Seen you lost in a crowd, seen you colors fade
Wish I could make it better
Someday you won't remember
This pain you thought would last forever and ever
There you stand, ten feet tall
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes are wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction
Just a shot, just a shot in the dark (oh, oh)
All you got, all you got
Are your shattered hopes
They never saw it coming
You hit the ground running
And now you're on to something
I, I, I say
What a sight, what a sight when the light came on
Proved me right, proved me right
When you proved them wrong
And in this perfect weather
It's like we don't remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever
There you stand, ten feet tall
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes are wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction
There you stand, next to me
All at once, the rest is history
Your eyes are wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction
I'll be one of the many saying
Look at you now, look at you now, now
I'll be one of the many saying
You've made us proud
You've made us proud
I'll be one of the many saying
Look at you now, look at you now, now
I'll be one of the many saying
You've made us proud
You've made us proud, proud
And then they call your name
And they put your picture in a frame
You know that I'll be there time and again
'Cause I loved you when
When you hit the ground, hit the ground
Hit the ground, oh oh
Only sound, only sound that you heard was "no"
Now in this perfect weather
It's like we don't remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever
There you stand, ten feet tall
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes are wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction
There you stand, next to me
All at once, the rest is history
Your eyes are wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction
It's sweeter than fiction
It's sweeter oh yeah
It's sweeter
It's sweeter, it's sweeter than fiction |
If I wanted to know who you were hanging with
While I was gone, I would have asked you
It's the kind of cold, fogs up windshield glass
But I felt it when I passed you
There's an ache in you, put there by the ache in me
But if it's all the same to you
It's the same to me
So we could call it even
You could call me "babe" for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
And the road not taken looks real good now
And it always leads to you in my hometown
I parkеd my car right between the Methodist
And thе school that used to be ours
The holidays linger like bad perfume
You can run, but only so far
I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave
But if it's okay with you, it's okay with me
We could call it even
You could call me "babe" for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
And the road not taken looks real good now
Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real good now
And it always leads to you in my hometown
Sleep in half the day just for old times' sake
I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
So I'll go back to L. A. and the so-called friends
Who'll write books about me, if I ever make it
And wonder about the only soul
Who can tell which smiles I'm fakin'
And the heart I know I'm breakin' is my own
To leave the warmest bed I've ever known
We could call it even
Even though I'm leavin'
And I'll be yours for the weekend
'Tis the damn season
We could call it even
You could call me "babe" for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this down
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
And the road not taken looks real good now
Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real good now
And it always leads to you in my hometown
And it always leads to you in my hometown |
