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 |
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there, and I thought
"Oh my God, look at that face"
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumours fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause, you know, I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young, and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the king, baby I'm your queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
But the worst's yet to come
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she? "
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
So, it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause, you know, I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young, and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya
So, it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause, you know, I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young, and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name |
Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobblestones
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Sequined smile, black lipstick, sensual politics
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
But I knew you
Dancin' in your Levi's
Drunk under a streetlight, I
I knew you
Hand under my sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
A friend to all is a friend to none
Chase two girls, lose the one
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
But I knew you
Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving me your weekends, I
I knew you
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Was all we needed
You drew stars around my scars
But now I'm bleedin'
'Cause I knew you
Steppin' on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy, I
I knew you
Leavin' like a father
Running like water, I
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd miss me
once the thrill expired
And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come back to me
You'd come back to me
And you'd come back to me
And you'd come back
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite |
I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say
That's what people say
I go on too many dates
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say
That's what people say
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind, saying it's gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, baby
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
I never miss a beat
I'm lighting up my feet
And that's what they don't see
That's what they don't see
I'm dancing on my own
I'll make the moves up as I go
And that's what they don't know
That's what they don't know
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music
In my mind, saying it's gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, baby
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you been getting down
And out about the liars
And the dirty dirty cheats of the world
You could have been getting down to this sick beat
My ex man brought his new girlfriend
She's like oh my god
I'm just gonna shake
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over baby we could shake, shake
Cause the players gonna play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, baby
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
Shake it off
Shake it off
Shake it off
Shake it off |
I walked through the door with you
The air was cold, but something 'bout it
Felt like home somehow
And I left my scarf there at your sister's house
And you still got it in your drawer even now
Oh your sweet disposition
At my wide eyed gaze
We're singing in the car getting lost upstate
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
And I can picture it after all these days
And I know it's long gone
And that magic's not here no more
And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all
'Cause there we are again on that little town street
You almost ran the red
'Cause you were looking over me
Wind in my hair, I was there
I remember it all too well
Photo album on the counter
Your cheeks were turning red
You used to be a little kid with glasses
In a twin size bed
And your mother's telling stories
'Bout you on the Tee Ball team
You tell me about your past
Thinking your future was me
And I know it's long gone
And there was nothing else I could do
And I forget about you long enough
To forget why I needed to
Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
We're dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there
I remember it all too well
And maybe we got lost in translation
Maybe I asked for too much
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
'Till you tore it all up
Running scared, I was there
I remember it all too well
Hey you called me up again
Just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all all all too well
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
I'd like to be my old self again
But I'm still trying to find it
After plaid shirt days and nights
When you made me your own
Now you mail back my things
And I walk home alone
But you keep my old scarf
From that very first week
'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
You can't get rid of it, 'cause you remember it all too well
Cause there we are again and I loved you so
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all
Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well |
I can see you standing, honey
With his arms around your body
Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
And it took you five whole minutes
To pack us up and leave me with it
Holdin' all this love out here in the hall
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I can see you starin', honey
Like he's just your understudy
Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Second, third, and hundredth chances
Balancin' on breaking branches
Those eyes add insult to injury
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?
You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leaving out the side door
So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind
(Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around
(You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign
(I gave so many signs)
So many signs, so many signs
You didn't even see the signs
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leavin' out the side door
So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (Didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind
(Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around
(You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign
(I gave so many signs)
You never gave a warning sign (All this time)
(So many signs) I never learned to read your mind
(So many signs) I couldn't turn things around
(I couldn't turn things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign
(You never gave a warning sign)
You never gave a warning sign
Ah, ah |
I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit
Been saying "yes" instead of "no"
I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though
I hit the ground running each night
I hit the Sunday matinée
You know the greatest films of all time
were never made
I guess you never know, never know
And if you wanted me, you really should've showed
And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow
And it's alright now
But we were something, don't you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one
(Ooh)
I had this dream you're doing cool shit
Having adventures on your own
You meet some woman on the internet and take her home
We never painted by the numbers, baby
But we were making it count
You know the greatest loves of all time
are over now
I guess you never know, never know
And it's another day waking up alone
But we were something, don't you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one
I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you
If one thing had been different
Would everything be different today?
We were something, don't you think so?
Rosé flowing with your chosen family
And it would've been sweet
If it could've been me
In my defense, I have none
For digging up the grave another time
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one
(Ooh) |
Cause baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause baby, now we've got bad blood, hey
I can't take it back, look where I'm at
We was on D like Doc, remember that?
My Tlc was quite Od, Id my facts
Now Pov of you and me, similar Iraq
I don't hate you but I hate to critique, overrate you
These beats of a dark heart
Use basslines to replace you
Take time and erase you, love don't hear no more
No I don't fear no more
Better yet respect ain't quite sincere no more
Oh, it's so sad to
Think about the good times
You and I
Cause baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause baby, now we've got bad blood, hey
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we've got bad blood, hey
Remember when you tried to write me off?
Remember when you thought I'd take a loss?
Don't you remember?
You thought that I would need yah
Follow procedure, remember?
Oh wait you got amnesia
It was my season for battle wounds, battle scars
Body bumped, bruised
Stabbed in the back; brimstone, fire jumping through
Still, all my life, I got money and power
And you gotta live with the bad blood now
Oh, it's so sad to
Think about the good times
You and I
Cause baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause baby, now we've got bad blood, hey
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we've got bad blood, hey
Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
You live like that, you live with ghosts
(You forgive, you forget but you never let it go)
Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts
If you love like that, blood runs cold
Cause baby, now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause baby, now we've got bad blood, hey

NT: "Bad Blood" - Expressão utilizada quando há um
desentendimento, uma rixa do passado entre duas pessoas |
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
I said, "no one has to know what we do"
His hands are in my hair
His clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound
Nothing lasts forever
But this is getting good, now
He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request, it is
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Wildest dreams, oh
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Some day, when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Some day, when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just pretend
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Wildest dreams, oh
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams, oh |
We were both young
When I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
I see the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way
Through the crowd
And say Hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo
You were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Beggin' you "Please don't go"
And I said
Romeo take me
Somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting
All that's left to do is run
You'll be the Prince
And I'll be the Princess
It's a Love Story
Baby just say "Yes"
So I sneak out
To the garden to see you
We keep quiet
Cause we were dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Cause you were Romeo
I was a Scarlett Letter
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
And I was beggin' you Please don't go
And I said
Romeo take me
Somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting
All that's left to do is run
You'll be the Prince
And I'll be the Princess
It's a Love Story
Baby just say "Yes"
Romeo save me
They're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult
But it's real
Don't be afraid
We'll make it out of this mess
It's a Love Story
Baby just say "Yes"
I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me
I've been feelin' so alone
I keep waiting for you
But you never come
Is this in my head?
I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground
And pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you
And that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a Love Story
Baby just say Yes
Oh oh
Oh oh oh
Cause we were both young
When I first saw you |
Loving him is like driving
A new Maserati down a dead end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin
Ended so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind
Once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright
Just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue, like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody
You never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted
Was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words
To your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword
And realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing
You'd never found out
That love could be that strong
Losing him was blue, like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody
You never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Oh, red
Burning red
Remembering him comes in flashbacks, in echoes
Tell myself it's time now
Gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
Burning red
Loving him was red
Oh, losing him was blue, like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody
You never met
'Cause loving him was red
Yeah, yeah red
Burning red
And that's why he's spinning round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red
Yeah, yeah
His love was like driving
A new Maserati down a dead end street |
Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of "Are you sure? "
"Never have I ever before"
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Your back beneath the sun
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinkin' I had you
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin' for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer love and saying "us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, oh
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
'Cause you were never mine
Never mine
But do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up
and said "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"
(Remember when I pulled up
and said "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall")
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all)
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all) |
I've been having a hard time adjusting
I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
I have a lot of regrets about that
Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
Could've followed my fears all the way down
And maybe I don't quite know what to say
But I'm here in your doorway
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
They told me all of my cages were mental
So I got wasted like all my potential
And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
I have a lot of regrets about that
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
Fell behind all my classmates
and I ended up here
Pouring out my heart to a stranger
But I didn't pour the whiskey
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
At least I'm trying
And it's hard to be at a party
when I feel like an open wound
It's hard to be anywhere these days
when all I want is you
You're a flashback in a film reel
on the one screen in my town
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
(And maybe I don't quite know what to say)
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
At least I'm trying |
The moon is high
Like your friends were the night that we first met
Went home and tried to stalk you on the internet
Now I've read all of the books beside your bed
The wine is cold
Like the shoulder that I gave you in the street
Cat and mouse for a month or two or three
Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe
(Ayy)
Kiss me once
'Cause you know I had a long night (Oh)
Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright (Uh)
Three times 'cause I've waited my whole life
(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4)
I like shiny things
But I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents
Except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
Paper rings and picture frames and dirty dreams
Oh, you're the one I want
In the winter, in the icy outdoor pool
When you jumped in first, I went in too
I'm with you even if it makes me blue
Which takes me back
To the color that we painted your brother's wall
Honey, without all the exes, fights, and flaws
We wouldn't be standing here so proud, so
(Ayy)
Kiss you once 'cause I know you had a long night (Oh)
Kiss you twice 'cause it's gonna be alright (Uh)
Three times 'cause you waited your whole life (1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4)
Ah
I like shiny things
Mut I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents
Except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
Paper rings and picture frames and dirty dreams
Oh, you're the one I want
I want to drive away with you
I want your complications too
I want your dreary Mondays
Wrap your arms around me, baby boy
I want to drive away with you
I want your complications too
I want your dreary Mondays
Wrap your arms around me, baby boy
Uh huh
I like shiny things
But I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents
Except when we went from friends to this
Ah-ah, darling, you're the one I want
I like shiny things
But I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents
Except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
Paper rings and picture frames and all my dreams
You're the one I want, and
Paper rings and picture frames and all my dreams
Oh, you're the one I want
You're the one I want, one I want
You're the one I want, one I want |
They tell you while you're young
"Girls, go out and have your fun"
Then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it
Criticize the way you fly
When you're soaring through the sky
Shoot you down and then they sigh
And say, "She looks like she's been through it"
Lord, what will become of me
Once I've lost my novelty?
I've had too much to drink tonight
And I know it's sad but this is what I think about
And I wake up in the middle of the night
It's like I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything at eighteen
But nothing at twenty-two?
And will you still want me when I'm nothing new?
How long will it be cute, all this crying in my room?
When you can't blame it on my youth
And roll your eyes with affection
And my cheeks are growing tired
From turning red and faking smiles
Are we only biding time 'til I lose your attention
And someone else lights up the room?
People love an ingénue
I've had too much to drink tonight
How did I go from growing up to breaking down?
And I wake up in the middle of the night
It's like I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything at eighteen
But nothing at twenty-two?
And will you still want me when I'm nothing new?
I know someday I'm gonna meet her
It's a fever dream
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
She'll know the way
and then she'll say she got the map from me
I'll say I'm happy for her then I'll cry myself to sleep
Oh woah, oh woah, oh, oh
I've had (I've had) too much to drink tonight
But I wonder if they'll miss me once they drive me out
I wake up (Wake up) in the middle of the night
And I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything at eighteen
But nothing at twenty-two?
And will you still want me, will you still want me
Will you still want me when I'm nothing new? |
I want you to know
I'm a mirrorball
I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
I'll get you out on the floor
Shimmering beautiful
And when I break, it's in a million pieces
Hush, when no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tip-toes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
Hush, I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tip-toes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
I want you to know
I'm a mirrorball
I can change everything about me to fit in
You are not like the regulars
The masquerade revelers
Drunk as they watch
my shattered edges glisten
Hush, when no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tip-toes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
Hush, I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tip-toes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
And they called off the circus, burned the disco down
When they sent home the horses
and the rodeo clowns
I'm still on that tightrope
I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me
I'm still a believer, but I don't know why
I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try
I'm still on that trapeze
I'm still trying everything
to keep you looking at me
Because I'm a mirrorball
I'm a mirrorball
And I'll show you every version of yourself tonight |
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me
And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down
Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
No apologies, he'll never see you cry
Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning
And I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see
He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble trouble trouble
And the saddest fear comes creepin' in
That you never loved me or her or anyone,
or anything, yeah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down
Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble |
We gather here, we line up
weepin' in a sunlit room
And if I'm on fire
you'll be made of ashes, too
Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe
All the hell you gave me?
'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you
'Til my dying day
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And you're the hero flying around, saving face
And if I'm dead to you
Why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean
Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
You know I didn't want to have to haunt you
But what a ghostly scene
You wear the same jewels that I gave you
As you bury me
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave
And if I'm dead to you
Why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet
And I can go anywhere I want
Anywhere I want, just not home
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
But you would still miss me in your bones
And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky)
And when you can't sleep at night
(You hear my stolen lullabies)
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
You turned into your worst fears
And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain
Crossing out the good years
And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet |
Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
Her saltbox house on the coast
took her mind off St. Louis
Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money
And the town said
"How did a middle-class divorcée do it? "
The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
There's only so far new money goes
They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
The doctor had told him to settle down
It must have been her fault his heart gave out
And they said
There goes the last great American dynasty
Who knows, if she never showed up
what could've been
There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
She had a marvelous time ruining everything
Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever
Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city
Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names
And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet
And losing on card game bets with Dalí
And they said
There goes the last great American dynasty
Who knows, if she never showed up
What could've been
There goes the most shameless woman
this town has ever seen
She had a marvelous time ruining everything
They say she was seen on occasion
Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea
And in a feud with her neighbor
She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
Fifty years is a long time
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
Free of women with madness
their men and bad habits
And then it was bought by me
Who knows, if I never showed up
what could've been
There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen
I had a marvelous time ruining everything
I had a marvelous time ruining everything
A marvelous time ruining everything
A marvelous time
I had a marvelous time |
Midnight, you come and pick me up
No headlights
Long drive, could end in burning flames
Or paradise
Fade into view
It's been a while since I have even heard from you
(Heard from you)
And I should just tell you to leave, 'cause I
Know exactly where it leads, but I
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time
You got that James Dean, daydream look in your eyes
And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair slicked back
White T-shirt
And I got that good girl faith
And a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
So it goes, he can't keep those wild eyes
On the road
Takes me home, lights are off
He's taking off his coat
I say, "I heard that you've been out and about
With some other girl"
(Some other girl)
He says, "What you heard is true, but I
Can't stop thinking 'bout you"
And I, I say "I've been there too, a few times"
You got that James Dean, daydream look in your eyes
And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair slicked back
White T-shirt
And I got that good girl faith
And a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
Take me home, just take me home
Yeah, just take me home, oh
(Out of style)
You got that James Dean, daydream look in your eyes
And I got that red lip, classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style |
I don't like your little games
Don't like your tilted stage
The role you made me play
Of the fool
No, I don't like you
I don't like your perfect crime
How you laugh when you lie
You said the gun was mine
Isn't cool
No, I don't like you
Ooh
But I got smarter
I got harder
In the nick of time
Honey I rose up from the dead
I do it all the time
I got a list of names
And yours is in red, underlined
I check it once
Then I check it twice
Ooh
Ooh look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
Ooh look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
I don't like your kingdom keys
They once belonged to me
You asked me for a place to sleep
Locked me out
And threw a feast (What?)
The world moves on
Another day
Another drama drama
But not for me
Not for me
All I think about is karma
And then the world moves on
But one thing is for sure
Maybe I got mine
But you'll all get yours
But I got smarter
I got harder
In the nick of time
Honey I rose up from the dead
I do it all the time
I got a list of names
And yours is in red, underlined
I check it once
Then I check it twice
Ooh
Ooh look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
Ooh look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
I don't trust nobody
And nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress
Starring in your bad dreams
I don't trust nobody
And nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress
Starring in your bad dreams
I don't trust nobody
And nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress
Starring in your bad dreams
I don't trust nobody
And nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress
Starring in your bad dreams
"I'm sorry, the old Taylor
can't come to the phone right now
Why?
Oh, 'cause she's dead. "
Ooh look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
Ooh look what you made me do
Look what you made me do

I know I'm probably better off on my own
Than lovin' a man who didn't know
What he had when he had it
And I see the permanent damage you did to me
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic
I wish it wasn't 4 AM, standing in the mirror
Saying to myself, "You know you had to do it"
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
And I know why we had to say goodbye
Like the back of my hand
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A better man
I know I'm probably better off all alone
Than needing a man who could change his mind
At any given minute
And it was always on your terms
I waited on every careless word
Hoping they might turn sweet again
Like it was in the beginning
But your jealousy, oh, I can hear it now
Talking down to me like I'd always be around
Push my love away like it was some kind of loaded gun
Oh, you never thought I'd run
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
And I know why we had to say goodbye
Like the back of my hand
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A better man
I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have
And I gave to you my best
And we both know you can't say that
I wish you were a better man
I wonder what we would've become
If you were a better man
We might still be in love
If you were a better man
You would've been the one
If you were a better man
Yeah, yeah
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
And I know why we had to say goodbye
Like the back of my hand
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A better man
(Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again)
We might still be in love, if you were a better man
(But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man)
Yeah, yeah
I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man
A better man
We might still be in love
If you were a better man
You would've been the one
If you were a better man |
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati
down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying
to change your mind once you're already flying
through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright
just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know
somebody you never met
But loving him was red
(Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
But loving him was red
(Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
Touching him was like
Realizing all you ever wanted
was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as
Easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like
Trying to solve a crossword
and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like
Wishing you never found out that love could be that strong
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray, all alone (Woah)
Forgetting him was like
Trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
(Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
Oh, red (Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
Burning red (Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
(Red, red, red)
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
In burning red
Loving him was red
Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray, all alone (Woah)
Forgetting him was like
trying to know somebody you never met
'Cause loving him was red
(Red, red, red; red, red, red)
Yeah, yeah, red
(Red, red, red; red, red, red)
Burning red (Red, red, red; red, red, red)
(Red, red, red; red, red, red)
And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head
(Red, red, red; red, red, red)
Comes back to me (Red, red, red; red, red, red)
burning red
(Red, red, red; red, red, red) Yeah, yeah
(Red, red, red; red, red, red)
His love was like driving a new Maserati
down a dead-end street |
You booked the night train for a reason
So you could sit there in this hurt
Bustling crowds or silent sleepers
You're not sure which is worse
Because I dropped your hand while dancing
Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing
Champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket
My picture in your wallet
Your heart was glass, I dropped it
Champagne problems
You told your family for a reason
You couldn't keep it in
Your sister splashed out on the bottle
Now no one's celebrating
Dom Pérignon, you brought it
No crowd of friends applauded
Your hometown skeptics called it
Champagne problems
You had a speech, you're speechless
Love slipped beyond your reaches
And I couldn't give a reason
Champagne problems
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door
November flushed and your flannel cured
"This dorm was once a madhouse"
I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"
How evergreen, our group of friends
Don't think we'll say that word again
And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls
That we once walked through
One for the money, two for the show
I never was ready so I watch you go
Sometimes you just don't know the answer
'Til someone's on their knees and asks you
"She would've made such a lovely bride
What a shame she's fucked in the head, " they said
But you'll find the real thing instead
She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred
And hold your hand while dancing
Never leave you standing
Crestfallen on the landing
With champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket
Her picture in your wallet
You won't remember all my
Champagne problems
You won't remember all my
Champagne problems |
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and sparks flew instantly
People would say 'They're the lucky ones'
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
Oh
A simple complication, miscommunication
Has lead to fallout
Too many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you like it's killing me?
And I don't know what to say
Since the twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter
How'd we end up this way?
Se me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should've held me
Oh
I'm scared to see the ending
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you like it's killing me?
And I don't know what to say
Since the twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
The battle's in your hands now
But I will lay my armor down
If you say you'd rather love than fight
So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you like it's killing me?
But I don't know what to say
Since the twist of fate
And it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
Now, now
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since the twist of fate
'Cause we're going down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
The End |
Knew he was a killer
First time that I saw him
Wonder how many girls he had loved
And left haunted
But if he's a ghost
Then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom
Some, some boys are tryin' too hard
He don't try at all though
Younger than my exes
But he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta
I-I-I see how this is gonna go
Touch me, and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
(Are you ready for it?)
Me, I was a robber
First time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off
And never saying sorry
But if I'm a thief
Then he can join the heist
And we'll move to an island-and
And he can be my jailer
Burton to this Taylor
Every lover known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now
I'm so very tame now
Never be the same now, now
I-I-I see how this is gonna go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
(No one has to know)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
(Are you ready for it?)
(Ooh, are you ready for it?)
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
I-I-I see how this is gonna go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
In the middle of the night
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
(Are you ready for it?)
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
(Are you ready for it?) |
It feels like a perfect night
To dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes
It feels like a perfect night
For breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers
Yeah
We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical
Oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines

Everything will be alright if
We just keep dancing like we're 22
22
22 (Dancing like)
22
22
It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news
I gotta have you
I gotta have you |
7 years and 50 days, the time is passing by
Nothing in this world can be as nice as you and I
And how could we break up like this?
And how could we be wrong?
So many years, so many days and I still sing my song
Now I run to you like I always do
When I close my eyes I think of you
Such a lonely girl
Such a lonely world
When I close my eyes I dream
I return to you like I always do
When I close my eyes I think of you
Such a lonely girl
Such a lonely world
When I close my eyes I dream '?¦ Of you
7 years and 50 days, now just look at me
Am I the girl I use to be
So damn what do you see?
And how could we break up like this?
And how could we be wrong?
So many years, so many days and I still sing my song
Now I run to you like I always do
When I close my eyes I think of you
Such a lonely girl
Such a lonely world
When I close my eyes I dream
I return to you like I always do
When I close my eyes I think of you
Such a lonely girl
Such a lonely world
When I close my eyes I dream of you |
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
But 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'a 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
Baby, 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 |
Musically and lyrically
Red resembled a heart-broken person
It was all over the place
A fractured mosaic of feelings
that somehow all fit together in the end
Happy, free, confused, lonely
devastated, euphoric, wild
And tortured by memories past
These are the original thirty songs
that were meant for Red
I love you guys |
[chorus 1:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart,now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Maybe I should've seen the signs,
Should've read the writing on the wall.
And realized by the distance in your eyes
That I would be the one to fall.
No matter what you say, I still can't believe
That you would walk away.
It don't make sense to me, but:
[repeat chorus 1:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
It's not unbroken anymore.
How do I get it back the way it was before?
[chorus 2:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart,now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break, would you wanna break a:
[repeat chorus 1:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? |
I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow's just a mistery oh yeah
But that's ok
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world
Oh I'm just a girl
oh I'm just a girl
oh oh
oh I'm just a girl |
I blew things out of proportion
Now you're blue
Put you in jail for something you didn't do
I pinned your hands behind your back, oh
Thought I had reason to attack, but no
Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves
Chemistry 'til it blows up, 'til there's no us
Why'd I have to break what I love so much?
It's on your face, and I'm to blame, I need to say
Hey, it's all me, in my head
I'm the one who burned us down
But it's not what I meant
Sorry that I hurt you
I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you (Ooh)
I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh)
I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go
Meet me in the afterglow
It's so excruciating to see you low
Just wanna lift you up and not let you go
This ultraviolet morning light below
Tells me this love is worth the fight, oh
I lived like an island, punished you in silence
Went off like sirens, just crying
Why'd I have to break what I love so much?
It's on your face, don't walk away, I need to say
Hey, it's all me, in my head
I'm the one who burned us down
But it's not what I meant
Sorry that I hurt you
I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you (Ooh)
I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh)
I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go
Meet me in the afterglow
Tell me that you're still mine
Tell me that we'll be just fine
Even when I lose my mind
I need to say
Tell me that it's not my fault
Tell me that I'm all you want
Even when I break your heart
I need to say
Hey, it's all me, in my head
I'm the one who burned us down
But it's not what I meant
Sorry that I hurt you
I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you (Ooh)
I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you (Ooh)
I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go
Meet me in the afterglow |
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, the way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you
(there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
Once I thought that love was something I could never do
Never knew that I could feel this much
But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you
Is more than a reaction to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, the way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you
(there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows
That never knocked me off my feet
All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go
And baby it's no mystery why I surrender
Girl you got everything
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, the way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you
(there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
I love your attitude, your rose tattoo,
your every thought Your smile, you lips
and girl the list goes on and on and on
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, the way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you
(there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
Your dance, your drive, you make me feel alive
The way you talk, the way you tease
Right now I think you see
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me |
I wake up, stretch out
I wonder what you're doing right now
Yeah I slept in my makeup again
Tell myself I must be crazy thinking about him
I find myself something decent to wear
Take the towel out of my hair
About that time you call me
I'm reminded without you I'd be
A stranger in an all night diner
Waiting for her love to find her
Lonely like a harbor line
That's never seen a boat
Just like a line in an old letter
No one ever wrote
I go to work, work all day
I want a tape recorder for everything you say
Walk to the car, dig out my keys
Start thinking if you were with anyone but me
I'd be a stranger in an all night diner
Waiting for her love to find her
Lonely like a harbor line
That's never seen a boat
Just like a line in an old letter
No one ever wrote
There you are on the street
Standing there waiting on me
I show you my new shoes
You say you love them
Baby, without you
I'd be a stranger in an all night diner
Waiting for her love to find her
Lonely like a harbor line
That's never seen a boat
Just like a line in an old letter
No one ever wrote
I wake up, stretch out
Wonder what you're doing right now.... |
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
But something 'bout it felt like home somehow
And I left my scarf there at your sister's house
And you've still got it in your drawer, even now
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
And I can picture it after all these days
And I know it's long gone and
That magic's not here no more
And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause there we are again on that little town street
You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me
Wind in my hair, I was there
I remember it all too well
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed
And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team
You tell me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me
And you were tossing me the car keys, fuck the patriarchy
Key chain on the ground, we were always skipping town
And I was thinking on the drive down, any time now
He's gonna say it's love, you never called it what it was
'Til we were dead and gone and buried
Check the pulse and come back swearing it's the same
After three months in the grave
And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you
But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame
And I know it's long gone and
There was nothing else I could do
And I forget about you long enough
To forget why I needed to
'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there
I remember it all too well
And there we are again when nobody had to know
You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath
Sacred prayer, and we'd swear
To remember it all too well, yeah
Maybe we got lost in translation
Maybe I asked for too much
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
'Til you tore it all up
Running scared, I was there
I remember it all too well
And you call me up again
Just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all
They say all's well that ends well
But I'm in a new hell every time you double-cross my mind
You said if we had been closer in age
maybe it would have been fine
And that made me want to die
The idea you had of me, who was she?
A never needing ever lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you
Not weeping in a party bathroom
Some actress asking me what happened
you, that's what happened, you
You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
Sipping coffee like you're on a late night show
But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come
And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one"
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
You can't get rid of it
'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
'Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
It was rare, I was there
I remember it all too well
Wind in my hair, you were there
You remember it all
Down the stairs, you were there
You remember it all
It was rare, I was there
I remember it all too well
And I was never good at telling jokes but the punch line goes
I'll get older but your lovers stay my age
From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight
And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
Cause in this city's barren cold
I still remember the first fall of snow
And how it glistened as it fell, I remember it all too well
Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well?
Just between us, do you remember it all too well?
Just between us, I remember it (Just between us) all too well
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
It was rare, you remember it all too well
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
It was rare, you remember it
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
It was rare, you remember it
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
It was rare, you remember it |

People like you always want back
The love they gave away
And people like me wanna believe you
When you say you've changed
The more I think about it now
The less I know
All I know is that you drove us
Off the road
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was
Stay, had me in the palm of your hand
Then why'd you have to go
And lock me out, when I let you in
(Stay) Hey, now you see you want it
Back, now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
Here you are now, calling me up
But I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces
Of the mess you made
People like you always want back
The love they pushed aside
People like me are gone forever
When you say goodbye
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was
Stay, had me in the palm of your hand
Then why'd you have to go
And lock me out, when I let you in
(Stay) Hey, now you see you want it
Back, now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
Let me remind you
This was what you wanted
(You ended it)
You were all I wanted
(But not like this)
Not like this, not like this
Oh, all you had to do was
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was
Stay, had me in the palm of your hand
Then why'd you have to go
And lock me out, when I let you in
(Stay) Hey, now you see you want it
Back, now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay |
Sometimes I wonder how's it gonna feel
Will my first love be true and real
Will I be ready when my heart starts to fall
What will I do when my love comes to call
And my daddy tells me that I light up his world
Everday he says, "Darlin you're my best girl."
He tried to teach me from the very start
The meaning of love so nobody breaks my heart
(Chorus)
Will my love come in a bowl of fire
Will it be filled with hope and desire
Will my love come in the pourin rain
Am I ready for the joy
Am I ready for the pain
Am I ready for the boy
Am I ready for love....for love
I know I'm not a little girl anymore
Cause I'm feelin things I've never felt before
Sweet sensations and anticipations
Calling commotion to my emotions
And I hear the words my daddy said to me
He said be true to yourself and keep your spirit free
And love will find you one way or another
Be good to yourself and be good to eachother
(Chorus)
Will my love come in a bowl of fire
Will it be filled with hope and desire
Will my love come in the pourin rain
Am I ready for the joy
Am I ready for the pain
Am I ready for the boy
Am I ready for love....for love
It's a run around the world and it's movin so fast
Though I wanna find a love that's gonna last
A love so strong that it can withstand
The weight of this world in the palm of its hand
(Chorus)
Will my love come in a bowl of fire
Will it be filled with hope and desire
Will my love come in the pourin rain
Am I ready for the joy
Am I ready for the pain
Am I ready for the boy
Am I ready for the game
Am I ready for the kiss
Am I ready for the stars
Am I ready for the bliss
Am I ready for love....for love |
American boy, living life as it goes
Sittin' on the fence posts
Living in the lie
American boy, living in the real world
Trying just to get the girl
Trying to survive
Chorus:
The simple things in life are always new
Growing up on Sand Hill avenue
Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just
The greatest living hero that ever was
Nothing in the world can ever once destroy
The hope of an american boy
Living off of bar tips, trying for relationships
Looking for the love
Suddenly rise, an american beauty
Suddenly he cheats, sent from above
Chorus:
The simple things in life are always new
Growing up on Sam Hill avenue
Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just
The greatest living hero that ever was
Nothing in the world can ever once destroy
The dream of an american boy
American boy, raising little babies
Hearing daddy maybe, I'll be like you
Suddenly life, seems just like a new dawn
That's grown up, american boy
Chorus:
The simple things in life are always new
Growing up on Grandview avenue
Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just
The greatest living hero that ever was
Nothing in the world will ever once destroy
No, nothing in the world will ever once destroy
The hope of an american boy |
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn`t help thinkin that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin she had one little promise
She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could see the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it`s so painful
Something that`s so close
And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Oh, take it easy now
Oh yeah, all right
She was an American girl |
Angelina's got a pretty face
And pretty long brown hair
Lives somewhere in some wide open space
I've never been there
I guess some people come around
In perfect shape
But I don't, ‘cause
I've always been a bit reckless
And I am not your typical princess
I'm fine, just a bit of a mess
And I'm not perfect, you could say
I wasn't brought up that way
Just watch David run across the field
Watch him catch the ball
He's got everything you'd wanna be
Funny, dark, and tall
Watch him run across to Angelina
But I won't, ‘cause
I've always been a bit reckless
And I am not your typical princess
I'm fine, just a bit of a mess
And I'm not perfect, you could say
I wasn't brought up that way
I've been pushed across the line
Tripped over my two feet
But ain't it funny how it all comes out
Isn't life sweet
I've always been a bit reckless
And I am not your typical princess
I'm fine, just a bit of a mess
And I'm not perfect, you could say
I've always been a bit reckless
And I am not your typical princess
I'm fine, just a bit of a mess
And I'm not perfect, you could say
I wasn't brought up that way |
What about your promises, promises?
What about your promises, promises, promises? (No)
What a shame
Didn't wanna be the one that got away, yeah
Big mistake, you broke the sweetest promise
That you never should have made
I'm here on the kitchen floor
You call, but I won't hear it
You said, "No one else"
How could you do this, babe?
(What about your promises, promises?)
You really blew this, babe
We ain't getting through this one, babe
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe
(This is the last time, this is the last time)
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe
(What about your promises, promises, promises?)
What a waste
Taking down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah
And it's strange how your face doesn't look so innocent
Your secret has its consequence and that's on you, babe
I break down every time you call
We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball
We said, "No one else"
How could you do this, babe?
(What about your promises, promises?)
You really blew this, babe
We ain't getting through this one, babe
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe
(This is the last time, this is the last time)
This is the last time I'll ever call you
Since you admitted it, I keep picturing
Her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it
I hate that because of you, I can't love you, babe
What a shame, didn't want to be the one that got away
How could you do this, babe?
You really blew this, babe
We ain't getting through this one, babe
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe
(This is the last time, this is the last time)
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe
I'm here on the kitchen floor, you call but I won't hear it
You said, "No one else"
We ain't getting through this one, babe
I break down every time you call
We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball
You said, "No one else"
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe |
I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good; busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
Cause the last time you saw me
Still burns in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying
I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time,
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine
And I go back to December, turn around
And make it all right
I go back to December all the time
These days I haven't been sleepin',
Stayin' up playing back myself leavin',
When your birthday passed
And I didn't call, then I think about summer,
All the beautiful times,
I watched you laughin' from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came,
With the dark days when the fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love
And all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying
I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time,
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine
And I go back to December, turn around
And change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile,
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms
That September night;
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door I understand
But this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying
I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December,
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around
And make it all right
I go back to December, turn around
And change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
All the time |
I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good; busier than ever
We small talk, work in the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
Cause the last time you saw me
Still burns in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying
I'm sorry for that night

I said you're not sorry, no no no noo
You're not sorry, no no no noo
You're not sorry, no no no noo |
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
You know, we used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood, hey
Did you have to do this?
I was thinking that you could be trusted
Did you have to ruin what was shining?
Now it's all rusted
Did you have to hit me where I'm weak?
Baby, I couldn't breathe then
Brought me in so deep
Salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me
Oh, it's so sad
To think about the good times
You and I
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
You know, we used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood, hey
Did you think we'd be fine?
Still got scars on my back from your knives
So don't think it's in the past
These kind of wounds, they last
And they last now
Did you think it all through?
All these things will catch up to you
And time can heal, but this won't
So if you're coming now, wait, just don't
Oh, it's so sad
To think about the good times
You and I
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
You know, we used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood, hey
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say "sorry" just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say "sorry" just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts
If you love like that, blood runs cold
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood
You know, we used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause baby, now we got bad blood, hey
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood, hey
NT: "Bad Blood" - Expressão utilizada quando há um
desentendimento, uma rixa do passado entre duas pessoas |
Your beautiful eyes
Stare right into my eyes
And sometimes I think of you late at night
I don't know why
I wanna be somewhere
Where you are
I wanna be where
You're here
Your eyes are lookin' into mine
So baby make me fly
My heart has never felt this way before
I'm lookin' through your
I'm lookin' through your eyes
I wake up I'm alive
In only a little while
I'll cry
'Cause you're my lullaby
So baby come hold me tight
'Cause I
I wanna be everything you need
I wanna be where
You're here
Your eyes are lookin' into mine
So baby make me fly
My heart has never felt this way before
I'm lookin' through your
I'm lookin' through your eyes
Just as long as your mine
I'll be your everything tonight
let me love you, kiss you
Baby let me miss you
Let me see your
dream about
dream about
dream about your eyes
eyes
eyes
beautiful eyes |
Follow me home if you dare to
I wouldn't know where to lead you
Should I take chances when no one took chances on me?
So I watch from the dark, wait for my life to start
With no beauty in my memory
All that I wanted was to be wanted
Too young to wander London streets, alone and haunted
Born into nothing
At least you have something, something to cling to
Visions of dazzling rooms I'll never get let into
And the memories were lost long ago
But at least you have beautiful ghosts
Perilous night, their voices calling
A flicker of light before the dawning
Out here, the wild ones are taming the fear within me
Scared to call them my friends and be broken again
Is this hope just a mystical dream?
All that I wanted was to be wanted
Too young to wander London streets, alone and haunted
Born into nothing
At least you have something, something to cling to
Visions of dazzling rooms I'll never get let into
And the memories were lost long ago
But at least you have beautiful ghosts
And so maybe my home isn't what I had known
What I thought it would be
But I feel so alive with these phantoms of night
And I know that this life isn't safe, but it's wild and it's free
All that I wanted was to be wanted
I'll never wander London streets, alone and haunted
Born into nothing
With them, I have something, something to cling to
I never knew I'd love this world they've let me into
And the memories were lost long ago
So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts
And the memories were lost long ago
So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts |
Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels
But I do
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't get this song
But I do, I do
Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early and you stand and wave
I walk to you
You pull my chair out and help me in
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do
And you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again
You said you never met one girl who
Had as many James Taylor records as you
But I do
We tell stories and you don't know why
I'm coming off a little shy
But I do
But you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again
And we walked down the block, to my car
And I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies
That your family watches every single Christmas
And I want to talk about that
And for the first time
What's past is past
Cause you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again
Then on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again |
Took a deep breath in the mirror

All is quiet in the world tonight
Counting stars and fireflies
This summer sings a lullaby
Of just me and my baby
On the hood of his daddy's car
Pass around his old guitar
Bet mama's wondering where we are
Just me and my baby
The world is spinning 'round
'Cause of just what I found
Ooh, life's so sweet right here
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
Ooh, just want to stay right here
'Cause nothing's quite like being with my baby
Driving home by the riverside
Wishing I could slow down time
Faking pictures in my mind
Of me and my baby
The car pulls up and I'm home too late
We didn't take that interstate
The back road was a better way
For me and my baby
The closer that we get
Ooh, I can't leave yet
Ooh, life's so sweet right here
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
Ooh, just want to stay right here
'Cause nothing's quite like being with my baby
Both know what we found
So we turned that car around
Ooh, life's so sweet right here
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
Ooh, just want to stay right here
Ooh, and be with my baby
Ooh, yeah and be with my baby |
'Cos I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met 'til you were making me cry
And it's just too bad, you're already had the best days
The best days of your life
Ain't it a shame?
A shame that everytime you hear my name
Brought up in a casual conversation
You can't think straight
And ain't it sad?
You can forget about what we had
Take a look at her and do you like what you see?
Or do you wish it was me
'Cos I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And it's just too bad, you've alreasdy had the best days
The best days of you life
And does she know?
Know about the times you used to hold me
Wrapped me in your arms and how you told me
I'm the only one
I heard about
Yeah, someone told me once, when you were out
She went a little crazy ran her mouth about me
Ain't jealousy funny?
...with me was a fairytale love
I was head-over-heals 'til you threw away "us"
And it's just too bad you've, already had the best days
The best days of your life
I heard you're gonna gt married
Have a nice little family
Live out my dreams with someon new
But, I've been told that a cheater
Is always a cheater
I've got my pride, and she's got you...
'Cos I'll be there, in the back of your mind
From the day we met 'til you were making me cry
And it's just too bad, you've already had the best days
The best days of your life...
Of your life
Oh, oh, yeah
You're gonna think of me
You're gonna think of me in your life
Oh, oh, yeah
It's a shame, it's a shame |
Her hair is harlow gold,
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold,
She's got bette davis eyes
She'll turn her music on you,
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as new york snow,
She got bette davis eyes
And she'll tease you,
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got greta garbo stand off sighs,
She's got bette davis eyes
She'll let you take her home,
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne,
She got bette davis eyes
She'll expose you, when she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy,
She's got bette davis eyes |
I live down the street in a broken down house
And a car up on blocks in the driveway
The moment we meet there was never a doubt
That we won't forget this sunday
It starts with a smile and a walk in miles
And it all leads to this: our first kiss
All my friends are saying
Girl, what are you thinking?
You're better off, you're better off without him
Find yourself another
Girl, that boy is trouble
You're better off, you're better off
They can talk forever
They just don't know better
We drive around town in a rusty old truck
Somehow it feels like we're flying
Don't wanna come down
But they make it so tough
Just everyone we know is trying
To push us apart hidden down in our hearts
And they get what they want cause you're gone
All my friends are saying
Girl, why are you crying?
You're better off, you're better off without him
Find yourself another
Girl, that boy is trouble
You're better off, you're better off
They can talk forever
They just don't know better
You come to my door
In the pouring rain
We know what we don't have to say
You hand me a rose and a note that says
We don't have to do things their way
All my friends are saying
Girl, what are you thinking?
You're better off, you're better off without him
Find yourself another
Girl, that boy is trouble
You're better off, you're better off
They can talk forever
They just don't know better |
..Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did
Ha
Time for a little revenge...
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
And, I had it all; I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
Chorus:
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
on the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha
She lives her life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And, she thinks I'm psycho
cause I like to rhyme her name with things, but
Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Oh they didn't teach you that in prep school
So it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
Chorus:
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
on the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha ha
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but I always get the last word
Whoa
Chorus:
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
on the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge,
And do you still feel like you know what you're doing,
Cause I don't think you do, Oh
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
C'mon show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you can say sabotage |
Betty, I won't make assumptions
About why you switched your homeroom, but
I think it's 'cause of me
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
When I passed your house
It's like I couldn't breathe
You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me? Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust me
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything
But I know I miss you
Betty, I know where it all went wrong
Your favorite song was playing
From the far side of the gym
I was nowhere to be found
I hate the crowds, you know that
Plus, I saw you dance with him
You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me? Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust me
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything
But I know I miss you
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
Just thinking of you when she pulled up like
A figment of my worst intentions
She said "James, get in, let's drive"
Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her, but
I dreamt of you all summer long
Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
And I planned it out for weeks now
But it's finally sinkin' in
Betty, right now is the last time
I can dream about what happens when
You see my face again
The only thing I wanna do
Is make it up to you
So I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Will you have me? Will you love me?
Will you kiss me on the porch
In front of all your stupid friends?
If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?
Will it patch your broken wings?
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything
But I know I miss you
Standing in your cardigan
Kissin' in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight
You know I miss you |
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there, and I thought
"Oh my God, look at that face"
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumours fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause, you know, I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young, and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
And I'll write your name
And I'll write your name
And I'll write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the king, baby I'm your queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait the worst's yet to come, oh no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she? "
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
'Cause we're young, and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name |
This is one of my favorite records out right now
And when a hosted the Amas
And I seen Taylor Swift knock that performance out of the park
I said, "I gotta tap on this"
People is filling the blank
People is filling up every bank
I am who I am, I am who they ain't
I do what I do, I do what they can't
Ive been raised different, so it's hard for me to show affection
Imperfection is perfection
Now, that's perfect
Just know that I love you
No matter how deep the hurt gets
Love is pain, I grew up on the Nba
So you know how I love this game
It's been a long road, great nights
Great memories, can't remember those
So don't look at me with a blank face
When I put your name on this blank space
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, hmm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the king, baby, I'm your queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh, no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh, my God, who is she? "
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, hmm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Letter sent by Ivisson Legendas |
So this next clip is a session that I had
with Max Martin and Johan Shellback and
what we like to do is we like to run a recording
on our phones of everything we're
doing when we're putting a song together
just in case one of us blurts out a cool
melody and then we forget about it
we wanna go back and replay the tape so that we
can remind ourselves what exactly we were saying
So I brought in this idea called
"Blank Space" and this was me playing it
for Max and Johan for the first time and
they're shouting out these production ideas like
you know, the "Oh! " at the beginning
of the and that ended up in the song
so this is the very beginning stages of a
song on the album called "Blank Space"
Like
Nice to meet you
Where you been
I could show you incredible things
Diamonds, seasides (?)
Oh my god
I do too
All you think about this time
Oh my god
What you heard about me
Can't believe what you hear about me
Hear about me
Cause
It's gonna be forever
Gonna go (Yeah!)
Ey!
Gonna go down in flames
(This is like an early 2000's Nelly track, yeah!)
Got a long list of ex-lovers
Tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space baby
Blank space baby
I'll write your name
(I love it!) |
Taylor swift:
I wish I was strong enough to lift
Not one but both us
Some day I will be strong enough
To lift not one but both of us
B.o.b:
Ever thought about losing it
When your money's all gone
And you lose your whip
You might lose your grip
When the landlord tell ya
That you do for rent
And the grass so green
On the other side
Make a n-gga wanna run staight through the fence
We're never freezed
By two hundred times
But still can't find no food in it
That's foolishness
And sometimes I wonder,
Why we care so much about the way we look,
And the way we talk
And the way we act
And the clothes we bought,
How much that cost?
Cause it even really matter?
Cause the flight is a uphill battle
But y'all tryna climb
With the same ol' ladder
In the same boat,
With the same ol' battle
Why so shallow? I'm just asking
What's the pattern setting madness
Everybody ain't a number one draft pick
Most of us ain't hollywood actors
But if it's all for one,
And one for all
Then maybe one day,
We all can rock
Do it one time for the underdogs
Sincerely yours,
From one of yours
Taylor swift:
I wish I was strong enough
To lift not one but both us
Some day I will be strong enough
To lift not one but both of us
B.o.b:
I can feel your pain,
I can feel your struggle
You just wanna live,
Been levitating so low
That you could drown in a bubble
That's why I gotta hold us up,
Yeah hold us up
For all the times no one's ever spoke for us
To every single time
That they play this song
You can say that that's
What bobby ray wrote for us
When the tides get too high
And the sea upon your knees get so deep
And you feel like
You're just another person
Getting lost in the crowd,
Where your partner, no please
Uh, because we won't be near yet,
Both of us
But we still stand tall
With our shoulders up
And even though we always a chance to us
These are the things that've molded us
And if life hadn't chosen us
Sometimes I wonder where woulda wind up
Cause if it was up to me,
I'd make a new blueprint
Feel better from the ground up, hey
But if it's all for one,
And one for all
Then maybe one day,
We all can rock
Do it one time for the underdogs
From bobby ray, to all of y'all
Taylor:
I wish I was strong enough
To lift not one but both us
Some day I will be strong enough
To lift not one but both of us |
Watch me go into the world today
Watch me try to blow the past away
Watch me laugh and watch me cry
Watch me fall and watch me fly
'Cause I'm living in a brand new world
And you think I'm just another girl
But I'm living just a day at a time
And keeping it mine
Someday I'm gonna fly
Watch me catch a star and pin it down
Watch me live another time around
Watch me doubt the things I love
Watch me fight what I'm proud of
'Cause I'm living in a brand new world
And you think I'm just another girl
But I'm living just a day at a time
And keeping it mine
Someday I'm gonna fly
And I may break my wings
And fall flat on my shattered heart
And I may hit the ground
But I will never fall apart
'Cause I'm living in a brand new world
And you think I'm just another girl
But I'm living just a day at a time
And keeping it mine
I'm living in a brand new world
And you think I'm just another girl
But I'm living just a day at a time
And keeping it mine
Someday I'm gonna fly |
I see your face in my mind as I drive away
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way
People are people
And sometimes we change our minds
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time
MM mm mm
MM mm mm mm mm
Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie
It's the kind of ending you don't really wanna see
Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down
Now I don't know what to be without you around
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand
And I can't breathe without you
But I have to breathe without you
But I have to
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt
Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve
But people are people
And sometimes it doesn't work out
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand
And I can't breathe without you
But I have to breathe without you
But I have to
It's two A. M
Feelin' like I just lost a friend
Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me
It's two A. M
Feelin' like I just lost a friend
Hope you know this ain't easy, easy for me
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
Ohh and I can't breathe without you
But I have to breathe without you
But I have to breathe without you
But I have to
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry |
I see your face in my mind as I drive away
'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way
People are people and sometimes we change our minds
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
The music starts playing like the end of a sad movie
It's the kind of ending you don't really wanna see
'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down
Now I don't know what to be without you around
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand
And I can't breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt
Every little bump in the road, I tried to swerve
But people are people and sometimes it doesn't work out
And nothin' we say is gonna save us from the fall out
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand
And I can't breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you but I have to
It's 2 A. M, feeling like I just lost a friend
Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me
It's 2 A. M, feeling like I just lost a friend
Hope you know this ain't easy, easy for me
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me, oh
I can't breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (MM)
I'm sorry, (Yeah, yeah) I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Ooh, ooh)
I'm sorry |
Here you are now
Fresh from your wars
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were
Stripped to the bone
I thought you'd want to know
(Chorus:)
When you feel the world is
Crashing all around your
Feet come running headlong
Into my arms...
Breathless.
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now, running headlong into my arms...
Breathless
Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again
(chorus)
When you feel the world is
Crashing all around your
Feet come running headlong
Into my arms...
Breathless.
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now, running headlong into my arms...
Breathless
So glad to see you smiling
So good to hear you laugh
I think that you found you even missed yourself
I'm only askin this cause i
Think that truth be told
Oh, you'll never go again...
(chorus)
When you feel the world is
Crashing all around your
Feet come running headlong
Into my arms...
Breathless.
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now, running headlong into my arms...
Breathless |
Emily comes home from school,
Grabs onto her daddy's hand,
He says "Baby girl what's wrong with you?"
She says "Please don't make me go back there again"
She said "I wish there was some way to make them stop it"
So he drives down to
That principles office and says
"I didn't bring her up
So they could cut her down
I didn't bring her here
So they could shut her out
I live my whole damn life
To see that little girl smile
So why are tears pouring down
That sweet face?
She wasn't brought up that way"
Emily's home late again
He sees that boy drive away
Oh, but something is different this time,
She doesn't have too much to say
She said "He tried but
there's just some things I won't do"
And through the tears
She said "I couldn't do that to you"
And he said
"I didn't bring you up
So he could wear you down
Take that innocent heart
And turn it inside out
I live my whole damn life
To see my little girl's smile
So don't let nobody take that Away,
You weren't brought up that way"
The phone rings on a rainy night
Says "It's Officer Tate"
He said "Sir there's been an accident,
You better come down here right away,
A drunken driver missed an overpass.
And Emily, she's fading fast"
He says "God, I didn't bring her up
To watch them lay her down,
Nearly killed me today,
They put her own
Momma in the ground
Only thing that kept me alive,
Was that little girl's smile
So please don't take that away,
It won't be easy taking her today,
She wasn't brought up that way"
He stands over the hospital bed
Emily opens her eyes |
I had to catch my breath
When I saw you there across the room
Holdin her hand
I'd have never guessed
That starting over would look so good on you
But here I am
Still believing there might come a day
We'll pick up where we left off
And by the way
Your eyes are dancing
I'll say the chances of that
Are getting slim
And by the way
My hearts still breaking
It's going take it a while
To love again
So many things that I forgot to say
By the way
I should've let you know
All the way's you made me feel alive
I guess it's too late
So I'll just get my coat
And make my way into this breezy night
Give you one last wave
Maybe you'll drop what you're doing
And come over here and say
I'm looking good
And by the way
Your eyes are dancing
I'll say the chances of that
Are getting slim
And by the way
My hearts still breaking
It's going take it a while
To love again
So many things that I forgot to say
By the way
You still look amazing
And I must have been crazy
To let you get away
By the way
If you ever wondered
Still got the same old number
Just in case
I still miss you
And I still love you
By the way
By the way oh |
It wasn't just like a movie
The rain didn't soak through my clothes, down to my skin
I'm driving away and I, I guess you could say
This is the last time I'll drive this way again
Lost in the gray and I try to grab at the fray
Cause I, I still love you but I can't
Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side
Bye, bye, baby
I want you back but it's come down to nothing
And all I have is your sympathy
'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me
Bye, bye, baby
Bye, bye, baby
The picture frame is empty
On the dresser, vacant just like me
I see your writing on the dash
Then back to your hesitation
I was so sure of everything
Everything I thought we'd always have
Guess I never doubted it
Then the here and the now floods in
Feels like I'm becoming a part of your past
Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side
Bye, bye, baby
I want you back but it's come down to nothing
And all I have is your sympathy
'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me
Bye, bye, baby
Bye, bye, baby
And there's so much that I can't touch
You're all I want but it's not enough this time
And all the pages are just slipping through my hands
And I'm so scared of how this ends
Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side
Bye, bye, baby
I want you back but it's come down to nothing
And all I have is your sympathy
'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me
Bye, bye, baby
Bye, bye, baby
Bye, bye, to everything I thought was on my side
Bye, bye, baby
I want you back but it's come down to nothing
And all I have is your sympathy
'Cause you took me home but you just couldn't keep me
Oh, you took me home, I thought you were gonna keep me
Bye, bye, baby
Bye, bye, baby |
My castle crumbled overnight
I brought a knife to a gunfight
They took the crown but it's alright
All the liars are calling me one
Nobody's heard from me for months
I'm doing better than I ever was
Cause
My baby's fit like a daydream
Walking with his head down
I'm the one he's walking to
So call it what you want, yeah
Call it what you want to
My baby's fly like a jet stream
High above the whole scene
Loves me like I'm brand new
So call it what you want, yeah
Call it what you want to
All my flowers
grew back as thorns
Windows boarded up after the storm
He built a fire just to keep me warm
All the drama queens taking swings
All the jokers dressing up as kings
They fade to nothing when I look at him
And I know I make the
same mistakes every time
Bridges burn, I never learn
At least I did one thing right
I did one thing right
I'm laughing with my lover
Making forts under covers
Trust him like a brother
Yeah, you know I did one thing right
Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night
My baby's fit like a daydream
Walking with his head down
I'm the one he's walking to
So call it what you want, yeah
Call it what you want to
My baby's fly like a jet stream
High above the whole scene
Loves me like I'm brand new
(Call it what you want,
call it what you want, call it)
So call it what you want, yeah
Call it what you want to
I want to wear his initial
On a chain round my neck
Chain round my neck
Not because he owns me
But 'cause he really knows me
Wich is more than I can say, I
I recall late November,
holding my breath
Slowly I said,
"You don't need to save me
But would you run away with me? "
Yes (would you run away?)
My baby's fit like a daydream
Walking with his head down
I'm the one he's walking to
(Call it what you want,
call it what you want, call it)
So call it what you want, yeah
Call it what you want to
My baby's fly like a jet stream
High above the whole scene
Loves me like I'm brand new
(Call it what you want,
call it what you want, call it)
So call it what you want, yeah
Call it what you want to
(Call it what you want,
call it what you want, call it)
(Call it what you want,
call it what you want, call it)
(Call it what you want,
call it what you want, call it)
(Call it what you want,
call it what you want, call it)
(Call it what you want,
call it what you want, call it)
(Call it what you want,
call it what you want, call it)
Call it what you want, yeah
Call it what you want |
Any day now
They're talking war
I can see the light
That's in your eyes
They're not talkin
A week or two
Oh, daddy
Can I go with you?
Oh, daddy
Can I go with you?
You pack a suitcase
And take a picture
From the wall
I always knew
This time would come
When I ask how long
You think
You're gonna be
You say
"Eh, this crazy world's
come undone"
Summer's over
And leaves begin
To fall
And another winter's
On the way
I knew
I wasn't gonna take
This very well
But I'd give everything
To have you here today
Everyday now
They're talking war
I know
This time has been
Like it's never
Been before
We're not talking
About a week or two
Oh, daddy
Can I go with you?
Oh, daddy
can I go with you?
Oh, daddy
Can I go with you? |
And it's a sad picture,
The final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
You know it's all the same
Another time and place
Repeating history, and you're getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through
Chorus:
Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
This revolution, the time will come
For us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah
We'll sing hallelujah
Oh
So we've been outnumbered
Raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now
Find things they never found
They might be bigger,
But we're faster and never scared
You can walk away, say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes
Says we can beat this
Chorus:
Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
This revolution, the time will come
For us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah
We'll sing hallelujah
Oh
Chorus
Bridge/final chorus:
Tonight we'll stand, get off our knees
Fight for what we've worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
But we'll stand up champions tonight
It was the night we changed
Do you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up
Cause we never gave in
And we'll sing hallelujah
We sang hallelujah
Hallelujah |
Ooh, it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again and
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you're getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through
Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down

Oh, oh
So we've been outnumbered, raided, and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair

Oooo Chaperone Dads
(I mastered the tambourine)
Ooooooo
You just got off of work,
The last thing you do
is wanna do is go and
listen to me
talk about some break up
(Chaperone Dads)
You're doing the right thing
(Ooo Chaperone Dads)
Remember when the tickets went on sale,
Your daughters 14th birthday
And you got her two tickets.
And she said can I have some more
Cause my friends and I all wanna go Dad,
You don't have to go
but you know you gotta go
and Chaperone dads |
I don't need a lot
But there's one thing love has taught me
Is to never expect too much
I don't need a believable touch
I just need you
I just need you
And I might, I found life
Why should we be wasting time
You don't know what you miss
When I look into your eyes like this
And you should be in front of me
Seeing everything to see
Looking at you
Check out this view
Think of a quiet beach
Think of how the waves crash down
Think about a summer's eve
No offense to them but they ain't got nothing on you
Walking with you
In the light or in the dark
Nothing shadows who you are
And you don't know what you missed
When I look into your eyes like this
And you should be in front of me
Seeing everything to see
Looking at you
Check out this view
Look outside the window everyday
And see something new
But all I ever wanted was a window
Looking at you
And you don't know what you missed
When I look into your eyes like this
And you should be in front of me
Seeing everything to see
And you don't know what you missed
When I look into your eyes like this
And you should be in front of me
Seeing everything to see
Looking at you
Check out this view |
What if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing
Would the song stil survive without 5 golden rings
Would you still wanna kiss without mistletoe
What would happen if God never let it snow
What would happen if Christmas Carols told a lie
Tell me what you would find
You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more
What if angels did not pay attention to
All the things that we wish they would always do
What if happiness came in a cardboard box
Then I'd think there was something we all forgot
What would happen if presents all went away
Tell me what would you find
You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more
We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships
100 mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year
And everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind
You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something more
There's gotta be more
There's gotta be more |
My winter nights are taken up by static
Stress and holiday shopping traffic
But I close my eyes and I'm somewhere else
Just like magic
In my heart is a Christmas tree farm
Where the people would come
To dance under sparkling lights
Bundled up in their mittens and coats
And the cider would flow
And I just wanna be there tonight
Sweet dreams of holly and ribbon
Mistakes are forgiven
And everythin' is icy and blue
And you would be there too
Under the mistletoe
Watchin' the fire glow
And tellin' me, "I love you"
Just bein' in your arms
Takes me back to that little farm
Where every wish comes true
In my heart is a Christmas tree farm
There's a light in the barn
We run inside out from the cold
In the town, kids are dreamin' of sleighs
And they're warm and they're safe
They wake to see a blanket of snow
Sweet dreams of holly and ribbon
Mistakes are forgiven
And everythin' is icy and blue
And you would be there too
Under the mistletoe
Watchin' the fire glow
And tellin' me, "I love you"
Just bein' in your arms
Takes me back to that little farm
Where every wish comes true
Baby, yeah
And when I'm feelin' alone
You remind me of home
Oh, baby, baby, Merry Christmas
And when the world isn't fair
I pretend that we're there
Baby, baby, Merry Christmas (To you)
Under the mistletoe (To you)
Watching the fire glow
And tellin' me, "I love you"
Oh, baby, baby, Merry Christmas
Oh, baby, baby, Merry Christmas (Darling)
Oh, baby, baby, Merry Christmas
I love you
Oh, baby, baby, Merry Christmas
Oh, baby, baby, Merry Christmas (I just want you to know)
Oh, baby, baby, Merry Christmas
Where every wish comes true
I love you |
Please take down the mistletoe
Cause I don't want to think about that right now
Cause everything I want is miles away
In a snow-covered little town
Mama's in the kitchen, worrying about me
Season's greeetings,
hope you're well
Well I'm doing alright, if you were wondering
Lately I can never tell
I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when you were mine
I've been doing fine without you, really
Up until the night's got cold
And everybody's here except you
Baby, seems like everyone's got someone to hold
But for me it's just a lonely time
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine
Merry Christmas, everybody
It'll have to be something I just say this year
I bet you got your mom another sweater
And were your cousins late again
When you were putting up the lights this year
Did you notice one less pair of hands
I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when I didn't wonder
How you are tonight
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine
You were mine |
The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
It was months and months of back-and-forth
You still all over me
Like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore
Hung my head as I lost the war
As the sky turned black like a perfect storm
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
By morning, gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
There was nothing left to do
When the butterflies turned to dust
They covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud
But no one heard a thing
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
By morning, gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
See, I think I am finally clean
Ten months sober, I must admit
Just because you're clean
Don't mean you don't miss it
Ten months older, I won't give in
Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it
The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
By morning, gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
By morning, gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
Finally clean, think I'm finally clean
Think I'm finally clean |
I drive around this town
In a Mustang with the top down
And six running horses under my hood
Well that's good enough for me
Don't need the real thing
That's just another thing
For me to try to tame
Don't know if I could
It might just break me
I thought there for a little while
Every sunset I'd be a riding off with him
Snap buttons on a denim shirt
Blue jeans and a little dirt
That's the closest you'll see me
Feet hanging out a pickup truck
Crazy and a little rough
Running free
That's the closest to a cowboy
You'll see me
Before I met him
I was so sane and grounded
Before he taught me how to lie
And crawl out the window
I learned the dirt roads
And I got my heart broken
Cause that cowboy taught me how to cry
And how to let go
I thought there for a little while
Every sunset I'd be a riding off with him
Snap buttons on a denim shirt
Blue jeans and a little dirt
That's the closest you'll see me
Feet hanging out a pickup truck
Crazy and a little rough
Running free
That's the closest to a cowboy
You'll see me
It was all a little
Wonderful and strange
But I'll never look
At a sunset the same night
Snap buttons on a denim shirt
Blue jeans and a little dirt
That's the closest you'll see me
Feet hanging out a pickup truck
Crazy and a little rough
Running free
Sitting fishing by the river bank
Swimming in the water tank
That's the closest you'll see me
Feet hanging out a pickup truck
Crazy and a little rough
Running free
That's the closest to a cowboy
You'll see me |
It's been a long time
And seeing the shape of your name
Still spells out pain
It wasn't right
The way it all went down
Looks like you know that now
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
It cut deep to know ya, right to the bone
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
I know that it's over, I don't need your
Closure, your closure
Don't treat me like
Some situation that needs to be handled
I'm fine with my spite
And my tears, and my beers and my candles
I can feel you smoothing me over
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing bettеr
It cut deep to know ya, right to the bone
Yes, I got your lеtter
Yes, I'm doing better
I know that it's over, I don't need your
Closure, your closure
Your closure, your closure
I know I'm just a wrinkle in your new life
Staying friends would iron it out so nice
Guilty, guilty, reaching out across the sea
That you put between you and me
But it's fake and it's oh so unnecessary
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
It cut deep to know ya, right to the bone
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
I know that it's over, I don't need your
Closure, closure, your closure
Your closure |
You have a way of coming easily to me.
And when you take, you take the very best of me.
So I start a fight 'cause I need to feel somethin'
And you do what you want 'cause I'm not what you wanted.
Oh, what a shame.
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day.
Just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say.
And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through,
I've never been anywhere cold as you.
You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray.
And I stood there lovin' you and washed them all away.
And you come away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you.
Oh, what a shame.
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day.
So just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say.
And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through,
I've never been anywhere cold as you.
You never did give a damn thing, honey.
But I cried, cried for you.
And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died,
Died for you.
Oh, what a shame.
What a rainy ending give to a perfect day.
Every smile you fake is so condescending.
Counted all the scars you made.
Now that I'm sittin here thinkin' it through,
I've never been anywhere cold as you. |
You said it in a simple way
4am, the second day
How strange that I don't know you at all
Stumbled through the long goodbye
One last kiss, then catch your flight
Right when I was just about to fall
I told myself, don't get attached
But in my mind, I play it back
Spinning faster than the plane that took you
And this is when the feeling sinks in
I don't wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here, come back, be here
I guess you're in New York today
I don't wanna need you this way
Come back, be here, come back, be here
The delicate beginning rush
The feeling you can know so much
Without knowing anything at all
And now that I can put this down
If I had known what I know now
I never would've played so nonchalant
Taxi cabs and busy streets
That never bring you back to me
I can't help but wish you took me with you
And this is when the feeling sinks in
I don't wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here, come back, be here
I guess you're in London today
And I don't wanna need you this way
Come back, be here, come back, be here
This is falling in love in the cruelest way
This is falling for you when you are worlds away
In New York, be here
But you're in London, and I break down
'Cause it's not fair that you're not around
This is when the feeling sinks in
I don't wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here, come back, be here
I guess you're in New York today
And I don't wanna need you this way
Come back, be here, come back, be here
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I don't wanna miss you like this
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Come back, be here
Come back, be here |
You said it in a simple way
4 AM, the second day
How strange that I don't know you at all
Stumbled through the long goodbye
One last kiss, then catch your flight
Right when I was just about to fall
I told myself, don't get attached

I don't wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here, come back, be here

This is falling in love in the cruellest way
This is falling for you when you are worlds away
In New York, be here
But you're in London, and I break down
'Cause it's not fair that you're not around
This is when the feeling sinks in
I don't wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here, come back, be here
I guess you're in New York today
And I don't wanna need you this way
Come back, be here, come back, be here
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I don't wanna miss you like this
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Come back, be here
Come back, be here |
I could go back to every laugh
But I don't want to go there anymore and I
know all the steps up to your door
But I don't want to go there anymore
Talk to the wind,
talk to the sky
Talk to the man with the reasons why
And let me know what you find
[Chorus]:
I'll leave my window open
Cause I'm too tired tonight to call your name
Just know I'm right here hoping
That you'll come in with the rain
I could stand up and sing you a song
But I don't wanna have to go that far and I
I've got you down, I know you by heart
And you don't even know where I start
Talk to yourself,
Talk to the tears
Talk to the man who put you here
Don't wait for the sky to clear
[Chorus]:
I'll leave my window open
Cause I'm too tired tonight to call your name
Just know I'm right here hoping
That you'll come in with the rain
I've watched you so.. long
screamed your name
I don't know what else
I can say
But I'll leave my window open
Cause I'm too tired tonight
for all these games
Just know I'm right here hoping
You'll come in with the rain
I could go back to every laugh
But I don't want to go there anymore.. |
I could go back to every laugh
But I don't wanna go there anymore
And I know all the steps up to your door
But I don't wanna go there anymore
Talk to the wind, talk to the sky
Talk to the man with the reasons why
And let me know what you find
I'll leave my window open
'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name
Just know I'm right here hoping
That you'll come in with the rain
I could stand up and sing you a song
But I don't wanna have to go that far
And I, I've got you down, I know you by heart
And you don't even know where I start
Talk to yourself, talk to the tears
Talk to the man who put you here
And don't wait for the sky to clear
I'll leave my window open
'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name
Just know I'm right here hoping
That you'll come in with the rain
I've watched you so long, screamed your name
I don't know what else I can say
I'll leave my window open
'Cause I'm too tired at night for all these games
Just know I'm right here hoping
That you'll come in with the rain
I could go back to every laugh
But I don't wanna go there anymore |
Break my soul in two looking for you
But you're right here
If I can't relate to you anymore
Then who am I related to?
And if this is the long haul
How'd we get here so soon?
Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Did I shatter you?
And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island
Wondering where did my baby go?
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
Sorry for not making you my centerfold
Over and over
Lost again with no surprises
Disappointments, close your eyes
And it gets colder and colder
When the sun goes down
The question pounds my head
What's a lifetime of achievement
If I pushed you to the edge?
But you were too polite to leave me
Do you miss the rogue
Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?
Will you forgive my soul
When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?
'Cause we were like the mall before the internet
It was the one place to be
The mischief, the gift-wrapped suburban dreams
Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring
Over and over
Lost again with no surprises
Disappointments, close your eyes
And it gets colder and colder
When the sun goes down
Were you waiting at our old spot
In the tree line
By the gold clock
Did I leave you hanging every single day?
Were you standing in the hallway
With a big cake, happy birthday
Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?
A universe away
And when I got into the accident
The sight that flashed before me was your face
But when I walked up to the podium
I think that I forgot to say your name
I'm on a bench in Coney Island
Wondering where did my baby go
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
Sorry for not making you my centerfold
Over and over
Lost again with no surprises
Disappointments, close your eyes
And it gets colder and colder
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
The sight that flashed before me was your face
When the sun goes down
But I think that I forgot to say your name
Over and over
Sorry for not making you my, making you my
Making you my centerfold |
We were in the backseat
Drunk on something stronger
Than the drinks in the bar
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
I said casually in the car
We were a fresh page on the desk
Filling in the blanks as we go
As if the street lights pointed in an arrow head
Leading us home
I hope I never lose you
Hope it never ends
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
And baby, I get mystified by how
This city screams your name
And baby, I'm so terrified of
if you ever walk away
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
Windows swung right open, autumn air
Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours
We bless the rains on Cornelia Street
Memorize the creaks in the floor
Back when we were card sharks, playing games
I thought you were leading me on
I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street
Before you even knew I was gone
But then you called, showed your hand
I turned around before I hit the tunnel
Sat on the roof, you and I
I hope I never lose you
Hope it never ends
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
And baby, I get mystified by how
This city screams your name
And baby, I'm so terrified of
if you ever walk away
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
You hold my hand on the street
Walk me back to that apartment
Years ago, we were just inside
Barefoot in the kitchen
Sacred new beginnings
That became my religion, listen
I hope I never lose you
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
Oh, never again
And baby, I get mystified by how
This city screams your name
And baby, I'm so terrified of
If you ever walk away
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I don't wanna lose you (Hope it never ends)
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
I don't wanna lose you (Yeah)
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
I said casually in the car |
And the tennis court was covered up
With some tent-like thing
And you asked me to dance
But I said, "Dancin' is a dangerous game"
Oh, I thought
This is gonna be one of those things
Now I know
I'm never gonna love again
I've got some tricks up my sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me
Never wanted love
Just a fancy car
Now I'm waiting by the phone
Like I'm sitting in an airport bar
You had some tricks up your sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me
Perched in the dark
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love
I could be the way forward
Only if they pay for it
You're a bandit like me
Eyes full of stars
Hustling for the good life
Never thought I'd meet you here
It could be love
We could be the way forward
And I know I'll pay for it
You're a cowboy like me
Perched in the dark
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love
I could be the way forward
Only if they pay for it
You're a bandit like me
Eyes full of stars
Hustling for the good life
Never thought I'd meet you here
It could be love
We could be the way forward
And I know I'll pay for it
And the skeletons in both our closets
Plotted hard to fuck this up
And the old men that I've swindled
Really did believe I was the one
And the ladies lunching have their stories about
When you passed through town
But that was all before I locked it down
Now you hang from my lips
Like the Gardens of Babylon
With your boots beneath my bed
Forever is the sweetest con
I've had some tricks up my sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me
And I'm never gonna love again
I'm never gonna love again
I'm never gonna love again |
I've never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
Till you open the door
There's so much more
I've never seen it before
I was trying to fly
But I couldn't find wings
But you came along
And you changed everything
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier, crazier, crazier
I watched from a distance as you
Made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know
How that would feel
And you made it so real
You showed me something
That I couldn't see
You opened my eyes
And you made me believe
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I'm
Lost in your eyes
You make me crazier, crazier, crazier
Baby you showed me what living is for
I don't wanna hide anymore
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I'm
Lost in your eyes
You make me crazier, crazier,crazier |
I've been counting days and
I've been being patient
About a little thing called love
Crossing all my fingers
Letting my heart linger
Trying to get some help from up above
I don't want to jinx my luck
I've left it all behind me
And I've been hoping every day
That someday you will find me
So I cross my heart and hope for you
Knock on wood and rope the moon
I'll pray for you and me and hope I'm right
And I wait around that old wishing well
You never know if time will tell
I cross my heart and hope for you tonight
Dreaming of you baby
I've been thinking maybe
There is something I can do
‘Cause I've been on the verge of
Running around in circles
Baby all I want is you
I don't want to jinx my luck
I've left it all behind me
And I've been hoping every day
That someday you will find me
So I cross my heart and hope for you
Knock on wood and rope the moon
I'll pray for you and me and hope I'm right
And I wait around that old wishing well
You never know if time will tell
I cross my heart and hope for you tonight
Do you believe in miracles
Please tell me if you've seen one
I'd like to know just where to go
Because I think I need one
So I cross my heart and hope for you
Knock on wood and rope the moon
I'll pray for you and me and hope I'm right
And I wait around that old wishing well
You never know if time will tell
I cross my heart and hope for you tonight
So I cross my heart and hope for you
Knock on wood and rope the moon
I'll pray for you and me and hope I'm right
And I wait around that old wishing well
You never know if time will tell
I cross my heart and hope for you tonight |
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it
(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it
(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more
And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
With you
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
I'm not dying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
We're not trying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know
Oh, it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
With you
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (Oh)
Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)
And I scream, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard? "
He looks up, grinning like a devil
It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
With you
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (Oh)
Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)
And I scream, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard? "
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) |
I, I loved you in secret
First sight, yeah
We love without reason
Oh, twenty-five years old
Oh, how were you to know?
And my, my love had been frozen
Deep blue, but you painted me golden
Oh, and you held me close
Oh, oshow was I to know?
I
I could've spent forever
With your hands in my pockets
Picture of your face in an invisible locket
You said there was nothing
In the world that could stop it
I had a bad feeling
And darling
You had turned my bed into a sacred oasis
People started talking
Putting us through our paces
I knew there was no one in the world
Who could take it
I had a bad feeling
But we were dancing
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Yeah, we were dancing
Like it was the first time, first time
Yeah, we were dancing
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Yeah, we were dancing
And I had a bad feeling
But we were dancing
I, I loved you in spite of
Deep fears that the world would divide us
So, baby, can we dance
Oh, through an avalanche?
And say, say that we got it
I'm a mess
But I'm the mess that you wanted
Oh, 'cause it's gravity
Oh, keeping you with me
I could've spent forever
With your hands in my pockets
Picture of your face in an invisible locket
You said there was nothing
In the world that could stop it
I had a bad feeling
But we were dancing
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Yeah, we were dancing
Like it was the first time, first time
Yeah, we were dancing
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Yeah, we were dancing
(Knew we had our hands tied)
And I had a bad feeling
But we were dancing
I'd kiss you as the lights went out
Swaying as the room burned down
I'd hold you as the water rushes in
If I could dance with you again
I'd kiss you as the lights went out
Swaying as the room burned down
I'd hold you as the water rushes in
If I could dance with you again
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Yeah, we were dancing
Like it was the first time, first time
Yeah, we were dancing
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
Yeah, we were dancing
(Ooh, dancing with our hands tied)
And I had a bad feeling
But we were dancing
But we were dancing
Hands tied, hands tied |
He said "I got me a nice new apartment in the city"
Wouldn't you have hated that?
I'm getting by with the broken heart you left me with
He hangs up the phone and she whispers back
"Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow
Won't you come back to me?
I'll be here today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee"
He was lying when he said he'd moved to L.A.
He's just hiding now on the other side of town
With his head in his hand, and she's just seven miles away
She's staring at the window and puts her picture down
Saying
"Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow
Won't you come back to me?
I'll be here today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee"
She almost called him on the night that he rode
Three simple words on his goodbye note
Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow
Won't you come back to me?
And I'll be here today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee
In dark blue Tennessee |
My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in
Everyone looked worse in the light
There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven
I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
I don't wanna think of anything else
Now that I thought of you
I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night
And now I see daylight, I only see daylight
Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky
And so I became the butt of the joke
I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked
Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke
Maybe you ran with the wolves
And refused to settle down
Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town
Threw out our cloaks and our daggers
Because it's morning now
It's brighter now, now
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
(I can never look away)
I don't wanna think of anything else
Now that I thought of you
(Things will never be the same)
I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night
(Now I'm wide awake)
And now I see daylight (Daylight)
I only see daylight (Daylight)
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
And I can still see it all (In my mind)
All of you, all of me (Intertwined)
I once believed love would be (Black and white)
But it's golden (Golden)
And I can still see it all (In my head)
Back and forth from New York (Sneaking in your bed)
I once believed love would be (Burning red)
But it's golden
Like daylight, like daylight
Like daylight, daylight
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
(I can never look away)
And I don't wanna think of anything else
Now that I thought of you
(Things will never be the same)
I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night
(Now I'm wide awake)
And now I see daylight (I see daylight)
I only see daylight (Ah)
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight (Ah)
(And I can still see it all)
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
(And I can still see it all, back and forth from New York)
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
(I once believed love would be burning red)
Like daylight
It's golden like daylight
You gotta step into the daylight and let it go
Just let it go, let it go
I wanna be defined by the things that I love
Not the things I hate
Not the things I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of
Or the things that haunt me in the middle of the night
I, I just think that
You are what you love |
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky
and go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules everyday
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
Tonight
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should've known
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it's you and your sick need
to give love then take it away
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors
who don't understand
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when
they said: Run as fast as you can
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong
Don't you think 19's too young to be played by
Your dark twisted games when I loved you so
I should've known
You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry
Have tired, lifeless eyes
Cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should've known
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young
You should've known |
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know"
And what once was ours is no one's now
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
Is this small town
You said it was a great love, one for the ages
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
Our songs, our films, united we stand
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause you're not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not
No, it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts (You didn't touch)
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
My body, my love, my trust
(It's death by a thousand cuts)
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright
They say, "I don't know" |
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Dive bar on the east side
Where you at?
Phone lights up my nightstand
In the black
Come here, you can meet me
In the back
Dark jeans and your Nikes
Look at you
Oh damn, never seen that color blue
Just think of
the fun things we could do
'Cause I like you
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
Yeah, I want you
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate
(delicate)
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
'Cause I know that it's delicate
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Delicate
Third floor on the west side, me and you
Handsome, you're a mansion with a view
Do the girls back home
touch you like I do?
Long night, with your hands up in my hair
Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs
Stay here, honey
I don't wanna share
'Cause I like you
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
Yeah, I want you
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
'Cause I know that it's delicate
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Delicate
Sometimes I wonder when you sleep
Are you ever dreaming of me?
Sometimes when I look into your eyes
I pretend you're mine, all the damn time
'Cause I like you
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
Yeah, I want you
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
'Cause I like you
Is it cool that I said all that?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
'Cause I know that it's delicate
(delicate)
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Is it cool that I said all that?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?
'Cause I know that it's delicate

I'm a laid back t-shirt, blue jean, mood ring
Kinda girl
Hey, yeah, what's a word on you?
Lay low, I'm a mission rebel, angel devil
Little left of the middle
Sometimes I get temperamental
Here I am, an open book
Turn the page, it's all the range
Get a look on the inside
What you get is what you see
Baby, you hold the key to the diary of me
I'm poetry, complicated, simply stated
Hey, yeah, baby, how about you?
I was born free
I'm a cell phone hippie, are you with me?
When I mess up, I don't get up
I just get down to you
Here I am, an open book
Turn the page, it's all the range
Get a look on the inside
What you get is what you see
Baby, you hold the key to the diary of me
It's raining on Sunday, there's nothing on TV
Yesterday was lonely, you're the only one who gets me
My mind is like an island drifting through the ocean
I can't stop thinking about you
I bet you're thinking of me too
But here I am, an open book
Turn the page, it's all the range
Get a look on the inside
What you get is what you see
Baby, you hold the key to the diary of me, yeah
Here I am, an open book
Turn the page, it's all the range
Get a look on the inside
What you get is what you see
Baby, you hold the key to the diary of me |
She walks to school with her arms crossed
It's just another day
At 10:00 she hears the screaming
And finally she sees them
It's scary how things change
And I saw the story on the news
I saw the footage from the roof
I sat down and cried
Didn't she call you
Didn't she need you bad enough
Was there some reason I'm not aware of
Did you not write it down
Just one more thing to do
Where were you
Didn't she pray too
He kissed his wife goodbye
And took the earliest flight
So he could be home that night
To put his kids to sleep
And down the aisle, three men walked
And said we're here to die for our God
He stood up and said that's funny
‘Cause my God died for me
I put the magazine down
I read his words out loud
I sat down and cried
Didn't he call you
Didn't he need you bad enough
Was there some reason I'm not aware of
Did you not write it down
Just one more thing to do
Where were you
Didn't he pray too
The taxis pulled up
On the very day of
They went 100 floors up
Just to come back down
They never thought they'd see the day
That the towers were up in flames
There was nothing left to say
When it all came down
Didn't they call you
Didn't they need you bad enough
Was there some reason I'm not aware of
Did you not write it down
Just one more thing to do
Where were you
Didn't they pray too
I walked to school and I wore a cross
I'm counting every day |
