Drew looks at me.
I fake a smile so he won't see.
What I want and I need
Everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful.
That girl he talks about,
and she's got everything
that I have to live without
Drew talks to me
I laugh 'cuz its just so damn funny
But I can't even see
anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love,
he's finally got it right.
I wonder if he knows
he's all I think about at night.
He's the reason for the tear drops on my guitar.
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.
He's the song in the car I keep singing,
don't know why I do.
Drew walks by me.
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly.
The kind of flawless I wish I could be.
She better hold him tight,
give him all her love,
look in those beautiful eyes
and know she's lucky 'cuz..
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing,
Don't know why I do.
So I drive home alone,
as I turn out the light,
I'll put his picture down
and maybe get some sleep tonight.
'cuz he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar.
The only one that's got enough of me to break my heart.
He's the song in the car I keep singing,
don't know why I do.
He's the time taken up,
but there's never enough.
And he's all that I need to fall into.
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see. |
You look at me.
I fake a smile so you won't see.
That I want and I need
Everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful.
That girl you talk about,
And she's got everything
That I have to live without
You talk to me
I laugh 'cuz its just so funny
But I can't even see
Anyone when you're with me
You say you're so in love,
You finally got it right.
I wonder if you know
You're all I think about at night.
You're the reason for the teardrops on my guitar.

You look at me
I fake a smile so you won't see... |
It was something like a perfect start to
This love yesterday but now who are you
I thought I knew
Your eyes how to know to look right through me
It's like you forgot the words you whispered to me
They weren't true
It's like it wasn't you
Could you tell me what did I do
Because it can't be we're already through
Did you sell me out for a fool
After you held me is that just what you do
What did you need from me
Tell me
Take time to realise I know
That people change their minds
But that was something I wished you would say
To my face
But you run away
Could you tell me what did I do
Because it can't be we're already through
Did you sell me out for a fool
After you held me is that just what you do
What did you need from me
Tell me
If I had a reason or a simple goodbye
Baby even a lie
Yeah Yeah
Tell me what did I do
Beause baby suddenly we're already through
Did you sell me out for a fool
After you held me is that just what you do
What did you need from me
Tell me
And tell me
Ooooh Yeah
Tell me
Tell Me |
I took a chance, I took a shot
And you might think I'm bulletproof, but i'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who you are
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me then you cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
And here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why..
You could write a book on,
how to ruin someone's perfect day
Well I get so confused and frustrated
Forget what i'm trying to say, oh
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You tell me that you want me, then push me around
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
Here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why..
Why..do you have to make me feel small?
So you can feel whole inside?
Why..do you have to put down my dreams?
So you're the only thing on my mind
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you want me then cut me down
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I've got no one to believe in
You ask me for my love then you push me around
Here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why
Why, tell me why... oh
I take a step back, let you go
I told you I'm not bulletproof
Now you know |
I took a chance, I took a shot
And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground, I see who you are
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me, then cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
Here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doin' to me
Tell me why
Well, you could write a book on
How to ruin someone's perfеct day
Well, I get so confused and frustratеd
Forget what I'm tryin' to say, oh
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You tell me that you want me, then push me around
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around

And I know that you see what you're doin' to me
Tell me why (Why)
Tell me why (Oh)
I take a step back, I let you go
I told you I'm not bulletproof
Now you know |
I knew what I wanted
When I wanted what I just couldn't have
You were country loving
Really something for three months and a half
Everybody said that you were bad news
But baby I was betting on you
So I guess I owe my friends ten dollars and a six pack
Got myself a big country serving of payback
Now I'm gonna have to listen to my momma's
“I told you so”
You ain't worth all that
Ten dollars and a six pack
I said let them say we're crazy
You said let's go fishing tonight
Midnight you were blazing baby
I was easing into your arms
Everything changed when you took me to town
And caught you staring every other girl down
So I guess I owe my friends ten dollars and a six pack
Got myself a big country serving of payback
Now I'm gonna have to listen to my momma's
“I told you so”
You ain't worth all that
Ten dollars and a six pack
I can't believe the time you lost me
I can't believe what it cost me
‘Cause I owe my friends ten dollars and a six pack
Got myself a big old serving of payback
I had to listen to my momma's
“I told you so”
You ain't never been through that
‘Cause you ain't worth all that
Ten dollars and a six pack
You ain't worth all that
Ten dollars and a six pack |
Standing on a street
Somewhere I don't want to be
In a town that's made of stone
Some bad directions must have me here by mistake
'Cause this sure ain't what I call home
Let me close my eyes for a second
See if I can get out of here and
Let my hair hang down
And I can feel the golden sun
And watch a pickup truck drive by
And I want to tell the world
How good it is to be right here
But I don't, I just sit under this tree
I'm in Tennessee
Standing on a road
Leading to a barn
With a cat named Eloise
Later on we'll all go fishing in the pond
But all we'll catch is just a summer breeze
Let me close my eyes for a second
See if I can stay right here and
Let my hair hang down
And I can feel the golden sun
And watch a pickup truck drive by
And I want to tell the world
How good it is to be right here
But I don't, I just sit under this tree
I'm in Tennessee
When the pond is gone and Eloise floats away
I find myself staring at the same old things
I need to go back, back where I feel so free
Well it looks like I'm going back to Tennessee
Let my hair hang down
And I can feel the golden sun
And watch a pickup truck drive by
And I want to tell the world
How good it is to be right here
But I don't, I just sit under this tree
Just me and Eloise
I'm in Tennessee |
Like one of those fireflies
Oh it looks so good 'til it's in your hand
It's like one of those memories
Where you can't let go but you just can't stand
It's like one of those crazy dreams
And the permanent screens in the magazines
Saying why'd I love
All it does is break your heart
One morning does it all add up
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy
You're getting close to giving up
In a big old way, knocks you down into the
Other side every time
Love or lie, live or die
I, well I guess that's life
Like one of those people
With the beautiful eyes and the perfect face
It's like one of those stories
Where the hero dies in the very last race
Like one of those endless cries
And the crazy lies of a hurting child
Why did love have to hurt
It broke my heart
One morning does it all add up
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy
You're getting close to giving up
In a big old way, knocks you down into the
Darker side every time
Love or lie, live or die
I, well I guess that's life
I always liked to think
That I was always brave enough
To try to master any push and shove
Well I guess I never qualified love
One morning does it all add up
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy
You're getting close to giving up
In a big old way, knocks you down into the
Other side every time
Love or lie, live or die
I, well I guess that's life |
No sir, I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can't decide you have made it harder just to go on
And why all the possibilities well, I was wrong
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of this beating
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here?
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here
I still try holdin' on to silly things I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of this beating
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
Pain, make you way to me, to me
And I'll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let's start, start, hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh, why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
Now I can't trust myself with anything but this
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa |
I said, "I know"
He said, "Need some time, need some space
To think about all of this"
I watched him go
He watched me crushed to the floor
On my knees, just like that
He said, "When can I come back? "
I said, "That's when I wake up in the morning
That's when after sun is always storming
Laughing when I'm crying
That's when I'll be waiting at the front gate
That's when never see your face
I let you in, baby that's when"
I said, "I know"
He said, "I did you wrong, made mistakes
Put you through all of this
'Cause I let you go, you let me think
That I'll be fine without you
Imagine that!
So baby I'll come back"
I said, "That's when I wake up in the morning
That's when after sun is always storming
Laughing when I'm crying
That's when I'll be waiting at the front gate
That's when never see your face
I let you in, baby that's when"
And I said, "All this playing
Did you ever think of me? "
And he said
I said, "That's when I wake up in the morning
That's when after sun is always storming
Laughing when I'm crying
That's when I'll be waiting at the front gate
That's when never see your face
I let you in, baby that's when"
I said, "I know"
He said, "I need some time, need some space" |
Combat, I'm ready for combat
I say I don't want that, but what if I do?
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies
I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you
Easy they come, easy they go
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
I never grew up, it's getting so old
Help me hold on to you
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me, darling
But who could stay?
Dark side, I search for your dark side
But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?
And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
Then I hate my reflection for years and years
I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
The room is on fire, invisible smoke
And all of my heroes die all alone
Help me hold on to you
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling
But who could stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
'Cause they see right through me
They see right through me
They see right through
Can you see right through me?
They see right through
They see right through me
I see right through me
I see right through me
All the king's horses, all the king's men
Couldn't put me together again
'Cause all of my enemies started out friends
Help me hold on to you
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me, darling
But who could stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
You could stay
You could stay
Combat, I'm ready for combat |
I'm five years old
It's getting cold
I've got
My big coat on
I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch
The tractor rides
Look now the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep
On the way home
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
don't know if Snow Whites house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day
With you today
I'm thirteen now
And don't know how my friends
Could be so mean
I come home crying
And you hold me tight
And grab the keys
And we drive and drive
Until we found a town
Far enough away
And we talk and window-shop
Until I forgot all their names
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to
Now at school
But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day
With you today
I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out
He's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house
And I had space to run
And I had the best days with you
There is a video
I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And youre talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships
And the seven dwarves
Daddy's smart
And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine
And I didn't know if you knew
So I'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day
With you today |
I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides
Look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

Is it romantic how all my elegies
Eulogize me?
I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
These hunters with cell phones
Take me to the Lakes
Where all poets went to die
I don't belong
And, my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks
Look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off
But not without my muse
What should be over
Burrowed under my skin
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
I've come too far to watch some name dropping sleaze
Tell me what are my words worth
Take me to the Lakes
Where all poets went to die
I don't belong
And, my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks
Look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off
But not without my muse
I want auroras and sad prose
I want to watch wisteria grow
Right over my bare feet
Cause I haven't moved in years
And I want you right here
A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
With no one around to tweet it
While I bathe in cliffside pools
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
Take me to the Lakes
Where all poets went to die
I don't belong
And, my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks
Look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off
But not without my muse
No, not withou you |
Found myself at your door
Just like all those times before
I'm not sure how I got there
All roads they lead me here
I imagine you are home
In your room, all alone
And you open your eyes into mine
And everything feels better
Right before your eyes
I'm breaking, no past
No reasons why
Just you and me
This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye
You find yourself at my door
Just like all those times before
You wear your best apology
But I was there to watch you leave
And all the times I let you in
Just for you to go again
Disappear when you come back
Everything is better
When right before your eyes
I'm aching, no past
Nowhere to hide
Just you and me
This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye
This is the last time you tell me I've got it wrong
This is the last time I say it's been you all along
This is the last time I let you in my door
This is the last time, I won't hurt you anymore
Oh, oh, oh

New in town with a made up name in the angel city
Chasing fortune and fame
And the camera flashes, make it look like a dream
You had it figured out since you were in school
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool
So overnight you look like a sixties' queen
Another name goes up in lights, like diamonds in the sky
And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
But can you tell me now, you're the lucky one
Now it's big black cars, and riviera views
And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page
And they tell you that you're lucky
But you're so confused
Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used
And all the young things line up to take your place
Another name goes up in lights
You wonder if you'll make it out alive
And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Can you tell me now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
It was a few years later, I showed up here
And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared
How you took the money and your dignity
And got the hell out
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere
Chose the rose garden over madison square
And it took some time, but I understand it now
'Cause now my name is up in lights
But I think you got it right
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, oh |

But I think you got it right
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh |
I would be complex, I would be cool
They'd say I played the field
Before I found someone to commit to
And that would be okay for me to do
Every conquest I had made
Would make me more of a boss to you
I'd be a fearless leader
I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What's that like?
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man
I'd be the man
I'd be the man
They'd say I hustled, put in the work
They wouldn't shake their heads
And question how much of this I deserve
What I was wearing, if I was rude
Could all be separated from my good ideas
And power moves
And they would toast to me, oh, let the players play
I'd be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man
I'd be the man
I'd be the man
What's it like to brag about raking in dollars
And getting bitches and models?
And it's all good if you're bad
And it's okay if you're mad
If I was out flashing my dollars
I'd be a bitch, not a baller
They'd paint me out to be bad
So, it's okay that I'm mad
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker
If I was a man (You know that)
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
(Coming at me again)
'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man)
Then I'd be the man (Then I'd be the man)
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can (As fast as I can)
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (Hey)
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
(Coming at me again)
'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man)
Then I'd be the man
I'd be the man
I'd be the man (Oh)
I'd be the man (Yeah)
I'd be the man (I'd be the man)
If I was a man, then I'd be the man |
You should've been there,
Should've burst through the door,
With that 'baby I'm right here' smile,
And it would've felt like,
A million little shining stars had just aligned,
And I would've been so happy.
Christmas lights glisten,
I've got my eye on the door,
Just waiting for you to walk in,
But the time is ticking,
People ask me how I've been
As I come back through my memory,
How you said you'd be here,
You said you'd be here.
And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no-one to impress,
And they're all laughing,
As I'm looking around the room,
But there's one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.
And the hours pass by,
Now I just wanna be alone,
But your close friends always seem to know
When there's something really wrong,
So they follow me down the hall,
And there in the bathroom,
I try not to fall apart,
And the sinking feeling starts,
As I say hopelessly,
"he said he'd be here."
And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no-one to impress,
And they're all laughing,
And asking me about you,
But there's one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.
What do you say
When tears are streaming down your face,
In front of everyone you know?
And what do you do
When the one who means the most to you,
Is the one who didn't show?
You should've been here.
And I would've been so happy.
And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no-one to impress,
And they're all standing around me singing,
Happy birthday to you,
But there's one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.
Ooh, I knew.
You call me later,
And say I'm sorry I didn't make it.
And I say I'm sorry too,
And that was the moment I knew. |
You should've been there
Should've burst through the door
With that "Baby, I'm right here" smile
And it would've felt like
A million little shining stars had just aligned
And I would've been so happy
Christmas lights glisten
I've got my eye on the door
Just waiting for you to walk in
But the time is ticking
People ask me how I've been
As I comb back through my memory
How you said you'd be here
You said you'd be here
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing
As I'm looking around the room
But there was one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew
And the hours pass by
Now I just wanna be alone
But your close friends always seem to know
When there's something really wrong
So they follow me down the hall
And there in the bathroom
I try not to fall apart
And the sinking feeling starts
As I say hopelessly
"He said he'd be here"
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing
And asking me about you
But there was one thing missing (Missing)
And that was the moment I knew
What do you say
When tears are streaming down your face
In front of everyone you know?
And what do you do
When the one who means the most to you
Is the one who didn't show?
You should've been here
And I would've been so happy
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all standing around me, singing
"Happy birthday to you"
But there was one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I knew
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You called me later
And said, "I'm sorry I didn't make it"
And I said, "I'm sorry, too"
And that was the moment I knew |
In the heat of the a fight
I walked away.
Ignoring words that you were saying,
Trying make me stay.
I said, "this time I've had enough."
And you've called a hundred times,
But I'm not pickin' up.
'cause I'm so mad,
I might tell you that it's over.
But if you look a little closer
I said, "leave,"
But all I really want is you
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles;
Screaming, "I'm in love with you."
Wait there in the pourin' rain,
Come back for more.
And don't you leave,
'cause I know all I need
Is on the other side of the door.
Me and my stupid pride
Sittin' here, alone.
Going through the photographs,
Staring at the phone.
I keep going back over
Things we both said.
And I remember the slammin' door,
And all the things that I misread.
Baby you know everything,
Tell me why you couldn't see
That when I left, I wanted you to
Chase after me?
I said, "leave,"
But all I really want is you
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles;
Screaming, "I'm in love with you."
Wait there in the pourin' rain,
Come back for more.
And don't you leave,
'cause I know all I need
Is on the other side of the door.
And I scream out the window,
"I can't even look at you, I don't need you,"
But I do, I do, I do.
I'll say there's nothing you can say
To make right again, I mean it,
I mean it
What I mean is
I said, "leave,"
But baby all I want is you
To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles;
Screaming, "I'm in love with you."
Wait there in the pourin' rain,
Come back for more.
And don't you leave,
'cause I know all I need
Is on the other side of the door.
With your face, and your beautiful eyes,
And the conversation,
With the little white lies.
And the faded picture
Of a beautiful night
You carry me from your car
Up the stairs
And I'm broke down cryin'
Was she worth this mess,
After everything in that little black dress
After everything, I must confess,
I need you |
In the heat of the fight I walked away
Ignorin' words that you were sayin'
Tryna make me stay
I said, "This time I've had enough"
And you've called a hundred times
But I'm not picking up
'Cause I'm so mad I might tell you that it's over
But if you look a little closer
I said, "Leave, " but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles
Screamin', "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more
And don't you leave 'cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
Me and my stupid pride are sittin' here alone
Goin' through the photographs, starin' at the phone
I keep goin' back over things we both said
And I remember the slamming door
And all the things that I misread
Oh, babe, if you know everything
Tell me why you couldn't see
When I left, I wanted you to chase after me, yeah
I said, "Leave, " but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles
Screamin', "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more
And don't you leave 'cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
And I'll scream out the window
I can't even look at you
I don't need you but I do, I do, I do
I say, "There's nothing you can say
To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it"
But what I mean is
I said, "Leave, " but, baby, all I want is you
To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles
Screamin', "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more
And don't you leave 'cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
With your face and the beautiful eyes
And the conversation with the little white lies
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
You carried me from your car up the stairs
And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess?
After everything and that little black dress
After everything I must confess, I need you |
I didn't know what I would find
When I went looking for a reason, I know
I didn't read between the lines
And, baby, I've got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less traveled by
But nothing seems to work the first few times
Am I right?
(chorus)
So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
You saw me there, but never knew
I would give it all up to be
A part of this, a part of you
And now it's all too late so you see
You could've helped if you have wanted to
But no one notices until it's too
Late to do anything
(chorus)
So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
How can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
And I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
Oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh |
If I could escape I would but, first of all,
Let me say
I must apologize for acting stank and treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?
If I could escape and recreate a place thats my own world
And I could be your favorite girl (forever)
Perfectly together
Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)
We can make it better
Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
You held me down,
I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint
Come on let's bounce, counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around, lets look for some common
ground
So baby, times get a little crazy,
I've been gettin'
A little lazy
Waitin' on you to come save me
I can see that your angry by the way that you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me, wanted you with me
If I could escape and recreate a place that's my own world
And I could be your favorite girl (forever)
Perfectly together
And tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet (sorry boy)
I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)
We can make it better
And tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape) |
I wish I could fly
I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time
I'd write this in the sky
I miss you like it was the very first night
And so it goes
Every weekend the same party
I never go alone
And I don't seem broken hearted
My friends all say they know
Everything I'm going through
I drive down different roads
But they all lead back to you
'Cause they don't know about the night in the hotel
They weren't riding in the car when we both fell
Didn't read the note on the Polaroid picture
They don't know how much I miss you
I wish I could fly
I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time
I write this in the sky
I miss you like it was the very first night
And so it was
We never saw it coming
Not trying to fall in love
But we did like children running
Back then we didn't know
We were built to fall apart
We broke the status quo
Then we broke each other's hearts
But don't forget about the night out in L. A
Dance in the kitchen, chase me down through the hallway
No one knows about the words that we whisper
No one knows how much I miss you
I wish I could fly
I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time
I'd write this in the sky
I miss you like it was the very first night
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
To you, to you
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
To you, to you
I remember the night at the hotel
I was riding in the car when we both fell
I'm the one on the phone as you whisper
"Do you know how much I miss you? "
I wish that we could go back in time
And I'd say to you
"I miss you like it was the very first night"
I wish I could fly
I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time
I'd write this in the sky
I miss you like it was the very first night
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
To you, to you
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
To you, to you |
He is sensible and
So incredible and
All my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear
And it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door
And I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
[CHORUS]
But I miss screaming and fighting
And kissing in the rain
And it's 2 am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster
Kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing and I'm
Comfortable
[CHORUS]
But I miss screaming and fighting
And kissing in the rain
And it's 2 am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating
Intoxicating complicated,
Got away by some mistake and now
[CHORUS]
I'll miss screaming and fighting
And kissing in the rain
It's 2 am and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you |
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2AM and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kind of rush
And I never knew I could feel that much

You're so in love that you acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kind of rush
And I never knew I could feel that much

Just so frustrating
Intoxicating, complicated
Got away by some mistake and now
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain

And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Whoa, whoa, oh-oh, oh
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, whoa
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you |
Should have been different but
It wasn't different, was it
Same old story, dear john,
And so long
Should have fit like a glove
Should have fit like a ring
Like a diamond ring
A token of true love
Should have all worked out
But it didn't
She should be here now
But she isn't
(chorus)
There's your trouble,
There's your trouble
You keep seeing double
With the wrong one
You can't see I love you,
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble
So now you're thinking 'bout
All you're missing
How deep you're sinking,
Round and round and dragging down
Why don't you cash in your chips
Why don't you call it a loss
Not such a big loss,
Chalk it up better luck
Could have been true love
But it wasn't
It should all add up
But it doesn't
(chorus)
There's your trouble,
There's your trouble
You keep seeing double
With the wrong one
You can't see I love you,
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble
Should have all worked out
But it didn't
She should be here now
But she isn't
(chorus)
There's your trouble,
There's your trouble
You keep seeing double
With the wrong one
You can't see I love you,
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble |
I walked into a chair today
'Cause I was thinking 'bout you
Your face jumped right in my way
Like lately things do
Oh, baby, can't you see?
The thought of you makes a mess of me
I walked into a chair today
'Cause I was thinking 'bout you
And now I
I can't walk straight, I can't talk straight
I can't think about anything but the way
It should be and it could be
And 'till you come 'round again I will be
Doing what I usually do
Thinking 'bout you
I get lost when I drive around town
Thinking 'bout your smile
I always end up on your side of town
And I don't know why
There must be something under this hood
That's got a mighty strong liking to you
I walked into a chair today
'Cause I was thinking 'bout you
Lately
I can't walk straight, I can't talk straight
I can't think about anything but the way
It should be and it could be
And until you come 'round again I will be
Doing what I usually do
Thinking 'bout you
Your eyes are the color of
The deep blue sea
The one that I go swimming in
Every time you look at me
I can't walk straight, I can't talk straight
I can't think about anything but the way
It should be and it could be
And 'till you come 'round again I will be
Doing what I usually do
Thinking about you
I walked into a chair today
'Cause I was thinking 'bout you |
Stumbled off the porch steps
Sat down in the car
Only thirteen blocks across this town
To get to where you are
And that don't offer me much time
To make up my mind
So I best be driving slow
On my way to letting go
These headlights they just want to fade
Off into the night
But if they're half as stubborn as me
They'll just keep shining bright
I ain't ever been one to settle
Like the dust that's on the dash
And since the feeling ain't strong
I'll just move on and leave this in my past
Once you're gone I know your memory
Will somehow get the best of me
So why question everything I do
Unsure of turning you away
Wondering about how I feel today
Until you found somebody new
So I've been holding on
Way too long
But not another minute
I might miss you that much
But you can't call it love if you ain't in it
Red light turns to green
Then back to red again
I wish there were some other travelers
Out here
To slow my traveling
Even though I can't hold on
Inside I still don't know
Oh, and it troubles me so
Once you're gone I know your memory
Will somehow get the best of me
So why question everything I do
Unsure of turning you away
Wondering about how I feel today
Until you found somebody new
So I've been holding
On way too long
But not another minute
I might miss you that much
But you can't call it love if you ain't in it
Once you're gone I know your memory
Will somehow get the best of me
So why question everything I do
Unsure of turning you away
Wondering about how I feel today
Until you found somebody new
So I've been holding
On way too long
But not another minute
I might miss you that much
But you can't call it love if you ain't in it
The car comes to a rest in the drive
You open up the door and I see you smile |
Walking downtown shuffling my feet
I try to dream my dreams above the concrete
Store windows, traveled for miles
But something I passed really caught my eye
It was cracked down the middle, permanent scars
But I fell in love with this here guitar
Nice to meet you, can I teach you
All I know, can you show me what you do
Where have you been
What have you seen
Who were you before you even knew me
Have you been played for endless hours
Or were you left in the corner
Or were you someone's best friend
This here guitar
It was my baby, anyone could see
I love the cracks, the curves, the hidden beauty
But I can't help wondering why
It came to me and where we'll say goodbye
The cracks down the middle
Can't see where they are
Since I fell in love with this here guitar
Nice to meet you, can I teach you
All I know, can you show me what you do
Where have you been
What have you seen
Who were you before you even knew me
Have you been played for endless hours
Or were you left in the corner
Or were you someone's best friend
This here guitar
Were you a present from a father to a son
Did he forget you
Or just play you 'til you came undone
Hey did some prima donna love you
'Til she got her fame and fortune
I won't do that to you
Nice to meet you, I can teach you
All I know, you can show me what you do
Where have you been
What have you seen
Who were you before you even knew me
And I played you for endless hours
Never left you in the corner
You're my one and only friend
Now I know where life lessons are
This here guitar
You're my guitar
This here guitar |
Beneath the chandelier of star and atmosphere
Tangled like the roots on the ground
The windows opened up
The wind is blowing and were both not making a sound
It's like i'm melting on into you
Give me a reason why we should ever move
And
Tell me
You'll never leave me
And i'm not crazy and
This is really happening
That this is really happening
Could this be better ?
You write me letters
So you see me everyday
You tend to treat me like
My name is up in lights
It really blows me away
Lock me up in a dark room
And i still can't take my eyes off you
Tell me
You'll never leave me
And i'm not crazy and
This is really happening
That this is really happening
All those kiss up against your car
For all those wishes on planes
We thought were stars
Memories like photographs
Oh baby, here we are
Tell me
You'll never leave me
And i'm not crazy and
Oh,this is really happening
That this is really happening
Oh,oh,baby
Tell me
You'll always need me
That i drive you crazy
And this is really happening
Oh,that this is really happening
Tell me,oh
You'll always need me
(need me ,tell me)
(baby)
That i drive you crazy
(oh)
That this is really happening |
It was so nice throwing big parties
Jumping in the pool from the balcony
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
And there are no rules when you show up here
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
I'm shaking my head
I'm locking the gates
This is why we can't
have nice things, darling
Because you break them
I had to take them away
This is why we can't have
nice things, honey
Did you think I wouldn't hear
All the things you said about me?
This is why we can't
have nice things
It was so nice being friends again
There I was giving you a second chance
But then you stabbed my back
While shaking my hand
And therein lies the issue
Friends don't try to trick you
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
And so I took an ax to a mended fence
But I'm not the only friend
you've lost lately
If only you weren't
So shady
This is why we can't have
nice things, darling
Because you break them
I had to take them away
This is why we can't have
nice things, honey
Did you think I wouldn't hear
All the things you said about me?
This is why we can't have
Here's a toast to my real friends
They don't care about that he said, she said
And here's to my baby
He ain't reading what
they call me lately
And here's to my momma
Had to listen to all this drama
And here's to you
'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face
This is why we can't have
nice things, darling
Because you break them
I had to take them away
This is why we can't have
nice things, honey
Did you think I wouldn't hear
All the things you said about me?
This is why we can't have
nice things, darling
(And here's to my real friends)
Because you break them
I had to take them away
(And here's to my baby)
This is why we can't have
nice things, darling
(He didn't care about that he said, she said)
Did you think I wouldn't hear
All the things you said about me?
This is why we can't have
nice things |
Clear blue water, high tides came
And brought you in
And I could go on and on, on and on
And I will
Skies grew darker, currents swept you out again
And you are just gone and gone
And gone, and gone
In silent screams and wildest dreams
I never dreamed of this
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me
Tossing, turning
Struggled through the night
With someone new
And I could go on and on
On and on
Lantern burning
Flickered in my mind for only you
But you're still gone, and gone
And gone, and gone
In losing grip and sinking ships
You showed up just in time
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me
This love, this love, this love
Your kiss, my cheek
I watched you leave
Your smile, my ghost
I fell to my knees
When you're young, you just run
But you come back to what you need
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me
This love, this love, this love |
Hey,hey T-swizzle (T-swizzle)
T-pizzle (t-pizzle)
I'm like 8 foot tall
Blond hair to the floor
You shorties never thought
I dreamed about rappin' hardcore!
No I ain't gotta gun,
No I never really been in a club
Still live with my parents
But I'm still a thug
I'm so gangsta
You can find me bakin' cookies at night
You out clubbin'?
Well I just made caramel delight!
T-swift and t-pain rappin' on the same track
It's a thug story tell me can you handle that?
I had a dream last night,
I had high-top nikes
I had diamonds in my mouth and diamonds on my mic
By the time I woke I was singin -
I'm on a boooaat (t-pain)
Cuz I'm a singer turned rapper (swift)
Shorty I'ma make ya (t-pain)
Straight to the top yo (swift)
Shorty I'ma crank ya (t-pain)
You can call me t-sweezy
Now I'm a rap star (swift)
It's a thug story now tell em who you are (t-pain)
Say ya turned gangsta (t-pain)
You don't wanna fight me (swift)
Straight to the top (t-pain)
In my xtra-small white tee (swift)
T-swift and t-pain all up on the same track,
Now it's a thug story now can you gimme that? (t-pain)
What?! what?! I knit sweaters yo!
What?! what?! don't test me (bleep)
Swift talking: hey hold on, hold on
I didn't even say anything
I said yo
You guys bleeped me and I didn't even say anything,
I didn't swear
T-pain sings: she didn't even swear-
Swift: hello? ugh! |
Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause i know you...
[chorus:]
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
You cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, cause it's not his price to pay
Not his price to pay...
[chorus]
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
You cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone... oh
Goodbye, baby
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby |
Do you remember the day I leaned up against your car?
And it started rolling down the street
You screamed and ran after it
Tried to open the door and it ran over your foot
And I was too busy laughing on the ground to see
It would take Brad Pitt to leave you
It takes five seconds to need you
And I'm mad at all the lovebirds
Cause they don't know to play our song
I wish that pretty girls couldn't see you
Wish that all the road's would lead you
Right to me
Cause that's where you belong
Til Brad Pitt Comes Along
Do you remember the time we watched Carrie
And you said it reminded you of me
And I threw the remote at you a
And you said "My point exactly"
Later on that night under the
Neon city lights you paid a homeless guy
To sing a song to me and
It would take Brad Pitt to leave you
It takes five seconds to need you
And I'm mad at all the lovebirds
Cause they don't know to play our song
I wish that pretty girls couldn't see you
Wish that all the road's would lead you
Right to me
Cause that's where you belong
Til Brad Pitt Comes Along
You call me unlucky cause I
Lose everything
But I swear I'd be careful with it
If you gave me a ring
It would take Brad Pitt to leave you
It takes five seconds to need you
And I'm mad at all the lovebirds
Cause they don't know to play our song
I wish that pretty girls couldn't see you
Wish that all the road's would lead you
Right to me
Cause that's where you belong
Til Brad Pitt Comes Along
Til Brad Pitt Comes Along
Woah Yeah Oh
Til Brad Pitt Comes Along |
You said the way my blue eyes shined,
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone
But when you think: Tim McGraw,
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long:
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears,
And thankin' God that you weren't here,
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed,
Is a letter that you never read,
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet,
And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe:
When you think: Tim McGraw,
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long:
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me
And I'm back for the first time since then:
I'm standin' on your street,
And there's a letter left on your doorstep,
And the first thing that you'll read is
When you think: Tim McGraw,
I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on,
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me,
Mmmm
You said the way my blue eyes shined,
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie" |
Today was a fairytale
You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet
Every move you make everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale

All that I can say is now it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
Yeah yeah

It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
I can feel my heart
It's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
But can you feel this magic in the air?

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

I sit and watch you reading with your head low
I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed
I sit and watch you
I notice everything you do or don't do
You're so much older and wiser, and I
I wait by the door like I'm just a kid
Use my best colors for your portrait
Lay the table with the fancy shit
And watch you tolerate it
If it's all in my head tell me now
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
I know my love should be celebrated
But you tolerate it
I greet you with a battle hero's welcome
I take your indiscretions all in good fun
I sit and listеn, I polish plates until they gleam and glistеn
You're so much older and wiser and I
I wait by the door like I'm just a kid
Use my best colors for your portrait
Lay the table with the fancy shit
And watch you tolerate it
If it's all in my head tell me now
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
I know my love should be celebrated
But you tolerate it
While you were out building other worlds, where was I?
Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky
Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
Drawing hearts in the byline
Always taking up too much space or time
You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I
Break free and leave us in ruins
Took this dagger in me and removed it
Gain the weight of you then lose it
Believe me, I could do it
If it's all in my head tell me now
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
I know my love should be celebrated
But you tolerate it
I sit and watch you |
Put your lips close to mine
As long as they don't touch
Out of focus eye of eye
Till the gravity is too much
And I'll do anything you say
If you say it with your hands
And I'd be smart to walk away
But you're quicksand
This slope is treacherous
This path is reckless
This slope is treacherous
And I I I like it
I can't decide if it's a choice
Getting swept away
I hear the sound of my own voice
Asking you to stay
And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along
Forever going with the flow but you're friction
This slope is treacherous
This path is reckless
This slope is treacherous
I I I like it
Two headlights shine trough the sleepless night
And I will get you, get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should, think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the driving and i would
I'd follow you, follow you home
I'll follow you, follow you home
This hope is treacherous
This daydream is dangerous
This hope is treacherous
I I i, I i I, I i I
Two headlights shine trough the sleepless night
And I will get you, get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the driving and I would
follow you, follow you home
I'll follow you, follow you home
I'll follow you, follow you home
I'll follow you, follow you home
This hope is treacherous
This daydream is dangerous
This hope is treacherous
I I I, I I I, I I I
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
And I will get you, get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the driving and I would
follow you, follow you home
I'll follow you, follow you home
I'll follow you, follow you home
I'll follow you, follow you home
This slope is treacherous
I I I like it |
Put your lips close to mine
As long as they don't touch
Out of focus, eye to eye
Till the gravity's too much
And I'll do anything you say
If you say it with your hands
And I'd be smart to walk away
But you're quicksand
This slope is treacherous
This path is reckless
This slope is treacherous

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will
Get you a, get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind and I just
Think you should, think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the drive and I would
Follow you, follow you home
I'll follow you, follow you home
This hope is treacherous
This daydream is dangerous

I remember what you wore on our first date
You came into my life
And I thought "hey you know this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's ok
I'm finally now believing
Then maybe it's true that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one, Yeah, yeah
I remember what you wore on our first date
You came into my life and I thought, Hey
Maybe it's true that I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking I, I can't live without you
Cause, baby, two is better than one
There's so much time to figure out the rest of my life
But I've figured out with all that's said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one |
You have my heart
We'll never be
World's apart
May be in magazine
But you'll still
Be my star
Baby
Cause in the dark
You can't see
Shiny cars
That's when you
Need me there
With you
I'll always share
Because
When the sun shine
We'll shine together
Told you
I'll be here forever
Said that I'll always
Be a friend
Took an oath
I'ma stick it out
To the end
Now it's raining more
Than ever
Know that we'll still
Have each other
You can stand
Under my umbrella
You can stand
Under my umbrella
Ella, ella, eh, yea, eh
Under my umbrella
Ella, ella
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh |
Are you trying to make me fall?
'Cause with a face like that babyi won't take too long
Keep on melting me with those eyes
And I think in a while I'll be here, no doubts, sittin' here saying
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you, I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, come a little closer
Ohh, ohh, I love you, I love you
Yeah I'm down to my last thread
Tryina get my heels back under my head
Da da da da da
Baby somewhere around the time
The moment I saw you with your hair all stickin' up
I was so caught up, 'cause baby you're so damn cute
I need you to need me
See the train is coming for me
Help me, save me from this crash at last
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you, I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, come a little closer
Ohh, ohh, I love you, I love you
Yeah I'm down to my last thread
Tryina get my heels back under my head
Na na na na na na na na na na na
You seem to be just what I tried to find
And your name looks so good written next to mine
Next to mine, next to mine, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you, I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I really, really want you
Ohh, ohh, I love you, I love you
Ohh, ohh, yeah

Tryina get my heels back under my head |
Untouchable like
A distant diamond sky
I'm reaching out
And I just
Can't tell you why
I'm caught up in you
I'm caught up in you
Untouchable burning
Brighter than the sun
And when you're close
I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night
When I'm in this dream
It's like
A million little stars
Spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
It's half full
And I won't wait here
All day
I know you're saying
That you'd be here
Anyway
But you're
Untouchable burning
Brighter than the sun
Now that you're close
I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night
When I'm in this dream
It's like
A million little stars
Spelling out your name
You gotta, come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on

We could form this dream
I wanna feel you
By my side
Standing next to me
You gotta, come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
I'm caught up in you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Untouchable burning
Brighter than the sun

Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
And when you're close, I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name
You got to come on, come on, say that we'll be together

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs is singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world |
If you had only gotten to me first
If I could write a book on how this hurts
If you could see the way your smile looks to me
If I wasn't scared of the world alone
If I didn't know he loves me so
If I could only find the strength to leave
You'd be with me, so baby
Don't you look in my eyes
I might fall in love
With a beautiful boy
I wish that I could touch
You go I hope you think of me
As the stars fall down and the heavens fade
This girl is begging wait for me
It's so wrong that all I wanna do
Is forget it all and just be with you
I have to go ‘cause he don't know
But the writing's on the wall
But here we are in so deep
Soaking wet
Jumping in without no safety net
And I don't know what kinda ropes
Would break this kinda fall, so baby
Don't you look in my eyes
I might fall in love
With a beautiful boy
I wish that I could touch
You go, I hope you think of me
As the stars fall down and the heavens fade
This girl is begging wait, wait for me
We can't be together right now
Guess there's no use in trying
But if you look at me right now
Can you tell that I'm dying
To hold you
But it would be wrong to
So don't you look in my eyes
I might fall in love
With a beautiful boy
I wish that I could touch
You go I hope you think of me
As the stars fall down and the heavens fade
This girl is begging wait for me
Don't you look now
Don't you look now
I might fall in love
Don't you look now |
I remember when we broke up, the first time
Saying this is it I've had enough
Because like we hadn't seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space, what?
Then you come around again and say
Baby I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change
Trust me
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you
You called it off again last night
But this time I'm telling you
I'm telling you,
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk to my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like ever
I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
And me falling for a screaming that I'm right
And you hide away
And find your piece of mind with some indie record
That's much cooler than mine
You called me up again tonight
But this time, I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk to my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
I used to think that we were forever, ever
And I used to say never say never
So he calls me and he's like
'I still love you'
And I'm just like 'this is exhausting'
We are never getting back together
Like ever
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk to my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk to my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together |
I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying, "This is it, I've had enough", 'cause like
We hadn't seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space, what?
Then you come around again and say
"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me"
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate you, " we break up, you call me, "I love you"
Ooh, we called it off again last night but
Ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever
I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
And me falling for it, screaming that I'm right
And you would hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
Ooh, you called me up again tonight but
Ooh, this time, I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I used to think that we were forever ever
And I used to say never say never
So he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you"
And I'm like, I'm just, I mean this is exhausting you know?
Like we are never getting back together
Like, ever
(No)
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
(We)
No
(Getting back together)
(We)
(Getting back together)
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
(Talk to me)
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together |
We used to walk along the street
When the porch lights were shining bright
Before I had somewhere to be
Back when we had all night
And we were happy
I do recall a good while back
We snuck into the circus
You threw your arms around my neck
Back when I deserved it
And we were happy
When it was good baby
It was good baby
We showed them all how
No one could touch the way we
Laughed in the dark
Talking about your daddy's farm
We were gonna buy someday
And we were happy
We used to watch the sun go down
On the boats in the water
That's sort of how I feel right now
And goodbye's so much harder
'Cause we were happy
When it was good baby
It was good baby
We showed them all how
No one could touch the way we
Laughed in the dark
Talking about your daddy's farm
We were gonna buy someday
And we were happy
Oh, I hate those voices
Telling me I'm not in love anymore
But they don't give me choices
And that's what these tears are for
'Cause we were happy
We were happy
When it was good baby
It was good baby
We showed them all how
No one could touch the way we
Laughed in the dark
Talking about your daddy's farm
And you were gonna marry me
When we were happy |
Turn WYCD on
You're
On your Grunwald
Back from the Amazon
Ah huh huh
He's here
With doctor Don
I heard
They dropped him off
In the amazon
Ah huh huh
He caught an Anaconda
Ate some piranhas
That's kinda disgusting
But whatever
Makes you happy
And I heard
Some naked boy
Showed him around
Yeah
Grunwald's
Back in town |
I got a little thing I call self control
'Cause I get a little crazy
When I let too much go
Love's a little messy and you are too
Right now I'm scared of both of you
I laugh and I play and I wasn't gonna stray
Swore I'd never let a man in my way
You're the last thing I needed today
And I don't know
Where I lost control
And couldn't take it any longer
Must have been somewhere between
Your smile and the way you say my name
I can't win so I give in
The more I fight it just get's stronger
You're an inconvenient kind of satisfaction
Welcome distraction, welcome distraction
Gone and spilled my coffee
Tryna get to the phone
'Cause it might be you
You just never know
Can't talk to my friends
Without you coming up
It's even kind of cute
The way you cuss
I wrote your name down
A hundred thousand times
'Cause it looks so good
Right next to mine
You're the last thing I needed tonight
And I don't know
Where I lost control
And couldn't take it any longer
Must have been somewhere between
Your smile and the way you say my name
I can't win so I give in
The more I fight it just get's stronger
You're an inconvenient kind of satisfaction
Welcome distraction
I'm acting like a girl
With nothing to lose
When did I stop caring
About anything but you
And I don't know
Where I lost control
And couldn't take it any longer
Must have been somewhere between
Your smile and the way you say my name
I can't win so I give in
The more I fight it just get's stronger
You're an inconvenient kind of satisfaction
Welcome distraction, welcome distraction
Welcome distraction, welcome distraction oh oh |
Walking through a crowd
The village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before
And it said
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
When we first dropped our bags
On apartment floors
Took our broken hearts
Put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else before
And you can want who you want
Boys and boys and girls and girls
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forevermore
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Like any great love, it keeps you guessing
Like any real love, it's ever changing
Like any true love, it drives you crazy
But you know you wouldn't change anything
Anything, anything
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me
Welcome to New York
New soundtrack
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
The lights are so bright
But they never blind me
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York |
What do you say, when you just know
That he's the one, and you wanna go fast
But he's taking it slow
And what do you do, when he's next to you
But he's a little bit shy
Well here's something you can try
Hey, hey what do you say
We go walking down the river all together
It's a warm May beautiful day
And I feel like I could
Talk to you forever
With the sun shining bright
It feels just like a day
When everything's gonna go just right
I know it will be a sweet memory
For you and me someday
What do you say?
What do you see, when you look in his eyes
There's something there
That he can't disguise
No matter how he tries
And what do you feel, when you know it's real
And you can't sit still
If you don't own up will yeah
Hey, hey what do you say
We go walking down the river all together
It's a warm May beautiful day
And I feel like I could
Talk to you forever
With the sun shining bright
It feels just like a day
When everything's gonna go just right
I know it will be a sweet memory
For you and me someday
What do you say?
My imaginations, running away
Just dreaming about
What I want you to say
Hey, hey what do you say
We go walking down the river all together
It's a warm May beautiful day
And I feel like I could
Talk to you forever
With the sun shining bright
It feels just like a day
When everything's gonna go just right
I know it will be a sweet memory
For you and me someday
What do you say?

She's looking in the mirror
The moment's getting nearer
She thinks about it as she walks her walk
Up and down the staircase
Make-up fresh on her face
She thinks about it as she talks her talk
School dance, first chance, always been a dreamer
There's one guy, she's shy, sees him through the mirror
And everybody looks at her,
She thinks about it
Blue dress angel face, looking in the mirror,
Shoes, purse, hair tied back and you should see her,
She's got her magic, floating through the air,
Peace, Love, One thing leads into another
Dream big, Aim small
Man you gotta love her
She's got her hopes up
Got 'em up to there
Wonderin' what to wear
She's standing in her bedroom
He'll be pullin' up soon
She thinks about it as she sees headlights
Looking out the window she's got her diary to show
That she's been waiting for this all her life
First date, can't wait
Lookin' in the mirror
Heart all wrapped up
Wait until he sees her
He's lookin' right at her
She thinks about it
Sixteen blue jeans Abercrombie t-shirt
Shoes purse hair tied back and you should see her
She's got her magic floating through the air
Peace, Love, One thing leads into another
Dream big, Aim small
Man you gotta love her
She's got her hopes up
Got 'em up to there
Wonderin' what to wear
The years went by
The mirror saw her cry
She got up again
She got up again
The wind blew by the small town lights
She got up again
Move out
Find out where the world can take her
Bright lights late nights livin' for the greater
Move to Paris livin' on a prayer
Peace, Love, One thing leads into another
Dream big, Aim small
Man you gotta love her
She's got her hopes up
Got 'em up to there
She's got her hopes up
Got 'em up to there
Wonderin' what to wear
Ooo Ooo
Wonderin' what to wear |
You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone baby
For the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall
But I ain't gonna make that call
When divided we stand baby
United we fall
Got the time got a chance gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart gonna take it
All I know I can't fight this flame
Oh you could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby
Time after time
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
I Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't know what we're fighting for
When we treat each other baby
Like an act of war
And I could tell a million lies
And it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger
Hits you right between the eyes
There's a time and a place and a reason
And I know I got a love to believe in
All I know got to win this time
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
I Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide
You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby
Crazy, Crazy
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
If you have a heart at all
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide |
Can you lie next to her and give her your heart, your heart?
As well as your body, and can you lie next to her and confess your love, your love?
As well as your folly and can you kneel before the king and say I'm clean, I'm clean
But tell me now where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart?
Oh tell me now where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart?
Her white blank page and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think when you sent me to the brink, to the brink
You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections
So tell me now where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart?
Oh tell me now where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart?
Heart, heart...
Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Oh lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Heart, heart... |
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
So may your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white |
Say you're sorry
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to.
As I paced back and forth
All this time cause
I honestly believed in you.
Holding on
The days drag on
Stupid girl I should've known, I should've known.
I'm not a princess.
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm not the one you sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell.
This ain't hollywood, this is a small town.
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down.
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to come around.
Maybe I was naive, got lost in your eyes,
I never really had a chance.
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams about you and me.
Happy endings, now I know...
I'm not a princess.
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm not the one you sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell.
This ain't hollywood, this is a small town.
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down.
Now its too late for you and your white horse to come around.
And there you are on your knees.
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me.
Just like I always wanted but, I'm so sorry.
Cause I'm not your princess.
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm gonna find someone some day,
Who might actually treat me well.
This is a big world.
That was a small town, there in my rearview mirror
Disappearing now.
And it's too late for you and your white horse
Now it's too late for you and your white horse to
Catch me now.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Try and catch me now ohh
Its too late
To catch me now |
Say you're sorry, that face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
'Cause I honestly believed in you
Holdin' on, the days drag on
Stupid girl, I shoulda known, I shoulda known
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse
To come around
Maybe I was naïve, got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings, now I know
That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse
To come around
And there you are on your knees
Beggin' for forgiveness, beggin' for me
Just like I always wanted
But I'm so sorry
'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't our fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday
Who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rear view mirror disappearing now
And it's too late for you and your white horse
Now it's too late for you and your white horse
To catch me now
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now, oh
It's too late to catch me now |
You rocking here with your guitar man
Shinning boots and your pull out band
Smile on your face and nothing your hand
Singing songs you got memorized
With what ever talent
Show polish right through your hands
But don't ruin yourself I ain't your competition
Don't flatter yourself that was never my intention
I wanna talk about it of what you are I ain't
Let's talk about what you do that I can't
Let's talk about me and you and an empty room and who wins
Let's talk about of what you did to get here
Let's talk about of blood and sweat and tears
Let's talk about of what you wanna be girl and who I've always been
I walk in here with a beat up case, the same guitar I've always played
And the verse I wrote down on a page,
When I was 12 years old a small town brace
You tell the crowd to pay in dues, I've tell them this is what I do
And it's what I put my life into, as I the smoke and she perfume
And say life on musical road is rough conditions
The easy ride was never my ambition
Wanna talk about it of what you are I ain't
Let's talk about what you do that I can't
Let's talk about me and you and an empty room and who wins
Let's talk about of what you did to get here
Let's talk about of blood and sweat and tears
Let's talk about of what you wanna be girl and who I've always been
Let's talk about your job hood daisy
With a prom queen I was on the stage
So where's that crown gotten you these days
When it's me and you in the same damn games
So what have you got that I ain't
What do you do that I can't
Let's put me and you in an empty room and see who wins
Let's talk about of what you did to get here
Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
Let's talk about of what you wanna be girl, who I've always been |
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
Wildest dreams, oh

My last request, it is

Burning it down

I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
And if it was an open-shut case
I never would've known from that look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
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
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Head on the pillow
I could feel you sneakin' in
As if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
And there was one prize I'd cheat to win
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
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 '90s 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
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
Hey, that's my man
That's my man
Yeah, that's my man
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
That's my man
Hey, that's my man
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man |
[Verse 1]
I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
And if it was an open-shut case
I never would've known from that look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
[Chorus]
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
That's my man
[Verse 2]
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneakin' in
As if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
And there was one prize I'd cheat to win
[Chorus]
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
That's my man
[Bridge]
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 '90s trend
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Hey, that's my man
That's my man
Yeah, that's my man
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art (That's my man)
That's my man
Hey, that's my man (That's my man)
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man
That's my man
That's my man
Hey that's my man
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man |
I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface, but you cut through like a knife
And if it was an open-shut case
I never would've known from that look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
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
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Head on the pillow
I could feel you sneakin' in
As if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
And there was onе prize I'd cheat to win
The morе 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
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 '90s 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
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
Hey, that's my man
That's my man
Yeah, that's my man
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
That's my man
Hey, that's my man
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, that's my man |
Flashing lights
And we took a wrong turn
And we fell down a rabbit hole
You held on tight to me
'Cause nothing's as it seems
And spinning out of control
Didn't they tell us
"Don't rush into things"
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me
Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds?
Didn't it all seem new and exciting?
I felt your arms twisting around me
I should've slept with one eye open at night
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better
In wonderland, in wonderland
In wonderland, in wonderland
So we went on our way
Too in love to think straight
All alone, or so it seemed
But there were strangers watching
And whispers turned to talking
And talking turned to screams
Didn't they tell us
"Don't rush into things"
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me
Didn't you calm my fears
With with a Cheshire cat smile?
Didn't it all seem new and exciting?
I felt your arms twisting around me
It's all fun and games 'til somebody
Loses their mind
But darling, we found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better
In wonderland, in wonderland
In wonderland, in wonderland
I reached for you, but you were gone
I knew I had to go back home
You searched the world for something else
To make you feel like what we had
And in the end, in wonderland
We both went mad
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever
We found wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And life was never worse but never better
In wonderland |
I can't believe you did it again
Walk by and took my heart with you
Why'd you have to look so good?
Don't you know I'm trying to hate you?
Trying to have a dream without you in it
But how can I put out this fire, when you're the one who lit it?
I can't wait for the day
I stop pretending I'm really ok when I'm not
I wanna know how it feels to be over you for real
Until I do I'll keep writing songs about you
I got a stack of papers so high
And it's all about you baby
Keep thinking maybe I can make sense of something crazy,
Something I can't get out of my head
I write your name, I write your name,
Then I tear it all to shreads
I can't wait for the day
I stop pretending I'm really ok when I'm not
I wanna know how it feels to be over you for real
Until I do I'll keep writing songs about you
And if you ever change your mind,
It won't be back again
I hope these songs will remind me
Why I shouldn't let you in
I can't wait for the day
I stop pretending I'm really ok cause I'm not
I wanna know how it feels to be over you for real
Until I do
I'll just wait for the day
I stop pretending I'm really ok when I'm not
I wanna know how it feels to be over you for real
Until I do I'll keep writing songs about you |
Once the last drop of rain has dried off the pavement
Shouldn't I find a stain, but I never do
The way the tires turn stones, on old county roads
They leave 'em muddy underneath
Reminds me of you
You find graffiti on the walls of old bathroom stalls
You know, you can scratch it right off
It's how it used to be
But like the dollar in your pocket
that's been spent and traded in
You can't change where it's been
Reminds me of me
I lived, and I learned
Had you, got burned
Held out, and held on
God knows, too long
And wasted time, lost tears
Swore that I'd get out of here
But no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me
The best and worst day of June
Was the one that I met you
With your hands in your pockets
And your 'don't you wish you had me' grin
But I did, so I smiled, and I melted like a child
Now every breath of air I breathe reminds me of then
And I lived, and I learned
Had you, got burned
Held out, and held on
God knows, too long
And wasted time, lost tears
Swore that I'd get out of here
But no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me
I lived, and I learned
And found out what it was to turn around
And see, that we
Were never really meant to be
So I lied, and I cried
And I watched a part of myself die
Cause no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me
I've still got you all over me
Still got you all over me |
One look, dark room
Meant just for you
Time moved too fast, you play it back
Buttons on a coat
Lighthearted joke
No proof, not much, but you saw enough
Small talk, he drives
Coffee at midnight
Moonlight reflects the chain on your neck
He says "look up"
And your shoulders brush
No proof, one touch and you felt enough
You can hear it in the silence, the silence
You can feel it on the way home, way home
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
You are in love, true love
You are in love
Morning, his place
Burnt toast, Sunday
You keep his shirt, he keeps his word
For once, you let go
Of your fears and your ghosts
One step, not much, but it said enough
You kiss on sidewalks
You fight and you talk
One night he wakes, strange look on his face
Pauses, then says, "you're my best friend"
And you knew what it was
He is in love
You can hear it in the silence, the silence
You can feel it on the way home, way home
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
You are in love, true love
So it goes
You two are dancing in a snowglobe round and round
And he keeps a picture of you
In his office downtown
And you understand now why
They lost their minds, and fought the wars
And why I've spent my whole life
Trying to put it into words
'Cause you can hear it in the silence
You can feel it on the way home
You can see it with the lights out
You are in love, true love
You are in love
You can hear it in the silence, the silence
You can feel it on the way home, way home
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
You are in love, true love
You can hear it in the silence, the silence
You can feel it on the way home, way home
You can see it with the lights out, lights out
You are in love, true love
You are in love |
You're on the phone with your girlfriend
She's upset, she's going off about
Something that you said
She doesn't get your humor
Like I do
I'm in my room
It's a typical tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music
She doesn't like
She'll never know your story
Like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain, and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole
time
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see me
You belong with me
You belong with me.
Walking the streets
With you and your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey what are you doing with a girl like that
But she wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you
See, you belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time
How could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with me.
Oh, I remember you
Driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me
Can't you see
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see?
You belong with me.
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time
How could you not know baby
You belong with me
You belong with me.
You belong with me
Have you ever thought
Just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me |

You belong with me |
Here I am once again
In your driveway thinking I should be leaving
I should go, but it's so
Entertaining watching you breathing
You went and got to me like
A stupid song on the radio
That you try to forget
But it sticks in your head
So goodbye, it's not goodnight
'Cause I'll be seeing you when I'm dreaming
Well you got me like a shock to the heart
You got me shaking so bad spilled my coffee in the car
Caught a red light, ran right through
Gotta call my friends and tell them all about you
Oh it's looking like one of those times
When I'm thinking about a kiss till the morning light
You've got me, you do
In a daze, pull the shades
Close my eyes and picture you at my window
I relax, I go back
To all the things you said that only I know
Well you got me like a shock to the heart
You got me shaking so bad spilled my coffee in the car
Caught a red light, ran right through
Gotta call my friends and tell them all about you
Oh it's looking like one of those times
When I'm thinking about a kiss till the morning light
You've got me, you do
I run out to my car and
I pull out the drive
It's only been ten minutes
But I have to see you one more time...
'Cause you got me like a shock to the heart
You got me shaking so bad spilled my coffee in the car
Caught a red light, ran right through
Gotta call my friends and tell them all about you
And it's looking like one of those nights
When I'm thinking about a kiss till the morning light
You've got me, you do
You've got me, you do |
You don't have to call me
And say you're sorry,
I'm already gone...
You don't have to call me
And break my heart
Each time, I try movin' on, oh
You don't have to call,
Anymore, oh yeah..
You don't have to call, baby. |
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn
You know you love me,I know you care
You shout whenever, and I'll be there
You want my love, you want my heart
And we will never ever ever be apart
And I was like
Baby, baby, baby oooh
My baby, baby, baby noo
My baby, baby, baby oooh
I thought you'd always be mine mine
She's so high
High above me
She's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you
See, you belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
All this time

You are somebody that I don't know
But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patrón
And I'm just like, damn, it's 7 AM
Say it in the street, that's a knock-out
But you say it in a Tweet, that's a cop-out
And I'm just like, "Hey, are you okay? "
And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression
But I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun
And snakes and stones never broke my bones
So uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
You need to calm down, you're being too loud

Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD)
Sunshine on the street at the parade
But you would rather be in the dark ages
Makin' that sign must've taken all night
You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace
And control your urges to scream about the people you hate
'Cause shade never made anybody less gay

We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
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?
And 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?
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
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?
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 |
All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances everytime and all you do is let me down
And its taking me this long baby but I figured you out
And you think it will be fine again but not this time around
You don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't want to hurt anymore
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby like I did before
You're not sorry... no, no, no, no
Lookin' so innocent
I might believe you if I didn't know
Could'a loved you all my life
If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold
And you got your share of secrets
And I'm tired of being last to know
And now you're asking me to listen
Cuz its worked each time before
But you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't want to hurt anymore
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby like I did before
You're not sorry no no no noo
You're not sorry no no no noo
You had me calling for you honey
And it never would've gone away no
You use to shine so bright
But I watched all of it fade
So you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
There's nothing left to beg for
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I won't believe you baby like I did before
You're not sorry no no no noo
You're not sorry no no no noo |
All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances every time

And it's taken me this long, baby, but I've figured you out
And you're thinking we'll be fine again
but not this time around
You don't have to call anymore

This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you, baby, like I did before
You're not sorry
No, no, oh-oh
You're looking so innocent
I might believe you if I didn't know
Could've loved you all my life

And you've got your share of secrets
And I'm tired of being last to know, oh
And now you're asking me to listen
'Cause it's worked each time before
But you don't have to call anymore

You're not sorry
No, no, oh-oh
You're not sorry
No, no, oh-oh
You had me crawling for you, honey
And it never would've gone away, no
You used to shine so bright, but I watched all of it fade
So you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
There's nothing left to beg for
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you, baby, like I did before
You're not sorry
No, no, oh-oh
You're not sorry
No, no, oh-oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Woah, oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no |
Bet you lie awake at night,
Trying to make up your sweet mind
Wondering if you'll ever find just what you want
A home-town number one or a california loaded gun
But you know you'll make it one,
Well that's what you thought
Here's what you got:
(chorus)
I could be your favorite blue jeans
With the holes inthe knees
In the bottom of the top drawer.
I could be your little beauty queen,
Just a little out of reach,
Or the girl living next door.
I'll be your angel giving up her wings.
If that's what you need,
I'd give everything to be your anything.
Be your anything
If you want hard to get, if you want... (giggles)
All you have to do is let me know.
If you want a bumpy ride, or someone with a softer side
Either one'll be alright, just let me know.
Is this where we go?
(chorus)
I could be your favorite blue jeans
With the holes inthe knees
In the bottom of the top drawer.
I could be your little beauty queen,
Just a little out of reach,
Or the girl living next door.
I'll be your angel giving up her wings.
If that's what you need,
I'd give everything to be your anything.
Be your anything
It's not like I'm giving up who I am for you
But with someone like you, it's just so easy to do.
(chorus)
I could be your favorite blue jeans
With the holes inthe knees
In the bottom of the top drawer.
I could be your little beauty queen,
Just a little out of reach,
Or the girl living next door.
I'll be your angel giving up her wings.
If that's what you need,
I'd give everything to be your anything.
Be your anything
I could be your favorite blue jeans
With the holes inthe knees
In the bottom of the top drawer.
I could be your little beauty queen,
Just a little out of reach,
Or the girl living next door.
I'll be your angel giving up her wings.
If that's what you need,
I'd give everything to be your anything.
Be your anything |
I heard a song
Tonight on the radio
Another girl sings about a boy
She sees his face
In every space, every room
And I know that
If I turn around you
Won't be there
If I close my eyes
Will you be there?
Chorus:
I don't wanna lose your face
And I don't wanna wake up one day
And not remember what time erased
I don't wanna turn around
Cause I'm not scared
Of what love gave me and took away
And I don't wanna lose your face
I've got a picture of you
In my bedroom
And I hope it never falls
I hope I never lose that feelin
I used to get when you called
And then I wonder to myself
Who are you, where are you
Where you ever here at all?
Chorus:
I don't wanna lose your face
And I don't wanna wake up one day
And not remember what time erased
I don't wanna turn around
Cause I'm not scared
Of what love gave me and took away
And I don't wanna lose your face
That girl in the song
Had it so good
I wish I could close my eyes
And see you
I wish the sky had your face
And the oceans had your eyes
And the sunset had your lips
And I had you
Chorus:
Oh, yeah
I don't wanna lose your face
And I don't wanna wake up one day
And not remember what time erased
And I don't wanna turn around
Cause I'm not scared
Of what love gave me and took away
And I don't wanna lose your face
Oh, no, no
I don't wanna lose your face
I don't wanna turn around
Oh, oh, oh |
