Sitting on the stairs

You're standing by the front door

You pull me back again

You're messin' with my head

You

Jack

Don't matter what you do

Don't matter what you say

I swear that I'm done too

And then I try to leave

But baby I just can't stay mad at you

Mad at you

Mad at you

Oh baby, I just can't stay mad

Zach

In the morning when we wake up (Jonah: Wake up)

After another fake break up (Jonah: Break up, Daniel: ooh-ooh)

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]

When I look in your eyes I see that you're trying

You don’t gotta tell me, I know

When you're looking at mine, I know that you're scared

Of where you have to go

From telling sweet lies and saying you’re fine

To crying on your bedroom floor

I wish that you knew you don't gotta go through

All this on your own

[Pre-Chorus]

Whoa, oh, oh, ooh-whoa

I'll be your fire if you get too cold

Whoa, oh, oh, ooh-whoa

Set me on fire

[Chorus]

If you're gonna bleed, then bleed on me

Fall onto me like rain, let me take the pain

And bleed on me

Oh, I won't just let you drown alone

[Post-Chorus]

Bleed on me

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Bleed on me

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]

Every breath in my lungs I'd give them all up

To give you just one good day

I'd hold up the sun if it meant you'd keep that

Smile on your face

And there’s nothing you’d say that ever could scare me

You know I'm here to stay

So tell me what hurts, give me your worst

And let me take the pain

[Pre-Chorus]

Whoa, oh, oh, ooh-whoa

I’ll be your fire if you get too cold

Whoa, oh, oh, ooh-whoa

Set me on fire

[Chorus]

If you're gonna bleed, then bleed on me

Fall onto me like rain, let me take the pain

And bleed on me

Oh, I won't just let you drown alone

[Post-Chorus]

Bleed on me

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Bleed on me

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh, bleed on me, yeah

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh no, I won't just let you drown alone

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Outro]

Bleed on me

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Bleed on me

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1]

What I want, you've got

And it might be hard to handle

Like a flame that burns the candle

The candle feeds the flame, ooh, yeah, yeah

What I got, full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter

You can pull them all together

And how? I can't explain, oh, yeah

[Chorus]

Oh, well, you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

You make my dreams come true (You, you), yeah

Well, well, well, you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

You make my dreams come true

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh), oh yeah

[Verse 2]

On a night when bad dreams become a screamer

When they're messin' with the dreamer

I can laugh it in the face (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Twist and shout my way out

And wrap yourself around me

'Cause I ain't the way you found me

And I'll never be the same, oh, yeah

[Chorus]

Well, well, you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

You make my dreams come true (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh), yeah

Well, well, well, you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh), aw yeah, hey

You make my dreams come true, yeah (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Oh yeah

[Post-Chorus]

Well listen to this

Wah, wah (Oh)

Wah, wah (Yeah, baby)

Wadah

[Bridge]

I'm down on my daydream

All that sleepwalk should be over by now

I know

[Chorus]

Well you, yeah, you make my dreams come true

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I've been waiting for, waiting for you, girl

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Oh yeah, you make my dreams come true, oh

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

War Paint

## Song by Jonah Marais

"**War Paint**" is a single by Jonah Marais. It was released on March 19, 2016, and serves as the lead track for his first solo EP, *When the Daylight's Gone*.

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1]

When the daylight's gone

She puts her war paint on

She takes no prisoners you will be missing her

When nighttime turns to dawn

And when the moonlight comes

That's when she starts to run

She'll catch you standing still when she comes in for the kill

And she don't need no gun

[Chorus 1]

Undercover, camouflage

Secrets, lies and sabotage

Never even saw her face

Leaving with her entourage

[Verse 2]

She's got her war paint on

So she's alone again

Says it's self-defense

I never let it hurt because I always hurt them first

You know it's common sense

[Chorus 1]

Undercover, camouflage

Secrets, lies and sabotage

Never even saw her face

Leaving with her entourage

[Chorus 2]

I don't want to change your life

But if I could take you home tonight

Baby, we can slow it down

Faster than the speed of light

[Post-Chorus]

Faster than the speed light

[Verse 3]

She learned her lesson well

Don't go "au naturel"

Never let them see the beauty underneath

Just keep it to yourself

She's got a heart of glass

Behind her makeup mask

I want to take it off and make the aching stop

Set her free at last

[Chorus 2]

I don't want to change your life

But if I could take you home tonight

Baby, we can slow it down

Faster than the speed of light

[Post-Chorus]

Faster than the speed light

[Verse 4]

She's not looking for a friend

(She said) "that's not the way this ends

But give me one more night 'til the morning light

And we can just pretend"

[Chorus 1]

Undercover, camouflage

Secrets, lies and sabotage

Never even saw her face

Leaving with her entourage

[Chorus 2]

I don't want to change your life

But if I could take you home tonight

Baby, we can slow it down

Faster than the speed of light

[Outro]

So take your war paint off

Yeah, take your war paint off

Unaware

Daniel Seavey uploaded his cover of the song over his YouTube channel on February 2, 2016.

## Lyrics

Every day, the deficit grows

You spend more than you own

And Papa always said to me,

He said "Keep a close eye on your authority"

You say that you care

I was unaware

You say that you care

I was unaware

All you do is push, pull, tear,

We can't stretch it any farther, no

Push, pull, tear,

Every day, taxes increase,

So is this our land or is this our lease?

And Papa said, "Son, it's the land of the free,"

As he broke his back trying to make ends meet

You say that you care

I was unaware

You say that you care

I was unaware

All you do is push, pull, tear

We can't stretch any farther, no

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch it any farther, no

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch any farther, no

Push, pull, tear

We can't stretch any farther, no

Push, pull, tear

Gotta get a hold of it

Tell me if you're ready, 'cause I'm ready

Baby, don't you say that we're just friends

When you know we could be lovers instead

Wanna give you a night you’ll never forget

Do the things we never did

Oh, baby, don’t you say that we’re just friеnds

When you know we could be lovеrs instead

Love Song

## **from the album *The Good Times and The Bad Ones***

"**Love Song**" is the fifth track from Why Don't We's sophomore album, *The Good Times and The Bad Ones* (2021). It is a self-proclaimed alternative, glam and pop-rock song. Daniel Seavey described the song as being "the first song that started to go in like a cool direction" when making the album, in an interview on the Zach Sang Show.

In the same interview, the band revealed that they were initially going to pitch the track to Australian band, 5 Seconds of Summer, as they didn't believe that they would be able to release it themselves.

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro]

Na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na

[Verse 1]

Grew up in a small town

When the rain would fall down

I'd just stare in my window

Dreaming of what could be

If I'd end up happy

So I'd pray

I could breakaway

[Chorus]

I'll spread my wings

And I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

Make a wish

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget all the ones that I love

Take a risk

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

[Bridge]

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging round revolving doors

Baby I don't know where they'll take me

But I gotta keep moving on, moving on

Fly away

[Chorus]

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

Do what it takes till I touch the sky

Make a wish

Take a chance

Take a change

And breakaway

Breakaway

[Outro]

Breakaway

"**Night Changes**" is a song by One Direction. Jonah Marais covered the song, released digitally on January 24, 2015. It was recorded in Minneapolis with Rob Genadek, and the video was done by Flower Kay Productions.

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1]

Going out tonight, changes into something red

Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress

Everything she never had, she's showing off

Driving too fast, moon is breaking through her hair

She's heading for something that she won't forget

Having no regrets is all that she really wants

[Chorus]

We're only getting older, baby

And I've been thinking about it lately

Does it ever drive you crazy

Just how fast the night changes?

Everything that you've ever dreamed of

Disappearing when you wake up

But there's nothing to be afraid of

Even when the night changes

It will never change me and you

[Verse 2]

Chasing her tonight, doubts are running 'round her head

He's waiting, hides behind a cigarette

Heart is beating loud and she doesn't want it to stop

Moving too fast, moon is lighting up her skin

She's falling, doesn't even know it yet

Having no regrets is all that she really wants

[Chorus]

We're only getting older, baby

And I've been thinking about it lately

Does it ever drive you crazy

Just how fast the night changes?

Everything that you've ever dreamed of

Disappearing when you wake up

But there's nothing to be afraid of

Even when the night changes

It will never change me and you

[Bridge]

Going out tonight, changes into something red

Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress

Reminds her of the missing piece of innocence she lost

[Chorus]

We're only getting older, baby

And I've been thinking about it lately

Does it ever drive you crazy

Just how fast the night changes?

Everything that you've ever dreamed of

Disappearing when you wake up

But there's nothing to be afraid of

Even when the night changes

It will never change, baby, it will never change, baby

It will never change, me and you

Randy Phillips

**Randy Phillips** is an American music producer, former president of Anschutz Entertainment Group, and current president and CEO of LiveStyle (formerly SFX Entertainment).

In 2021, Why Don't We opened up about facing emotional and verbal abuse from their other manager, David Loeffler. Their management team became split with opposing lawsuits. The band refused to sign the recording contract with Atlantic Records, until Phillips became their manager again. Their lawyer, Alan Gutman, made a statement that they "support Randy Phillips the same way he has supported us from the start of our careers".

In return, Loeffler's lawyer stated, "Recent comments attributed to WDW members are untrue, hurtful, and apparently designed to be part of an ill-advised strategy to evade their obligations under these agreements. Signature would certainly welcome a reasonable and amicable resolution of this matter that preserves the mutually beneficial relationship that has helped WDW achieve their great success to date."

All

Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh

Jonah

It took too long, it took too long, it took too long

For you to call back

And normally, I would just forget that

Except for the fact it was my birthday, my fucking birthday

I played along, I played along, I played along

Rolled right off my back

But obviously, my armor was cracked

What kind of a boyfriend would forget that?

Who would forget that?

Jonah, *Corbyn* & Daniel, Corbyn, All

The type of guy who doesn't see

What he has until she leaves

*Don't let me go*

Cause without me, you know you're lost

Wise up now or pay the cost

Soon you will know

Daniel

You're not livin' 'til you're livin'

Livin' with me

You're not winnin' 'til you're winnin'

Winnin' me

You're not gettin' 'til you're gettin'

Gettin' me

You're not livin' 'til you're livin'

Livin' for me

Jack, *Daniel*, **Corbyn**

We got along, we got along, we got along

Until you did that *(til you did that)*

Now all I want is just my stuff back *(get my stuff back)*

Do you get that?

Let me repeat that *(let me repeat that)*

I want my stuff back **(Hey)**

Jonah, *All*

You can send it in a box

I don't care, just drop it off

*I won't be home*

'Cause without me, you know you're lost

Minus you, I'm better off

Soon you will know

All

You're not livin' 'til you're livin'

Livin' with me

You're not winnin' 'til you're winnin'

Winnin' me

You're not gettin' 'til you're gettin'

Gettin' me

You're not livin' 'til you're livin'

Livin' for me

All

This is the potential breakup song

Our album needs just one

Oh, baby, please, please tell me

This is the potential breakup song

Our album needs just one

Oh, baby, please

Энди Фокс

**Энди Фокс** - персонаж из книги

Andy Fox had coonskin hat.

Louie Bona killed it with a baseball bat.

Louie swore it chased him -

It jumped right off the shelf.

Gracie Graves said, "Louie Bona, try to redeem yourself"

So Louie Bona buried the hat under a willow tree.

He marked the grave with a siga that read:

It Was Either the Hat or Me.

The kids all thought it was funny, except for Andy Fox.

But he got even with Louie - he gave him the chicken pox.

Луи Бона убил его бейсбольной битой.

Луи поклялся, что преследовал его -

Он прыгнул прямо с шкафа.

Грейси Грейвс сказала: "Луи Бона, попытайся искупить себя"

Итак, Луи Бона похоронил шляпу под ивой.

Он сделал могилу с надписью, которая гласила:

Это была либо шляпа, либо Я.

Все дети думали, что это смешно, кроме Энди Фокса.

Но он справился с Луи - он дал ему ветряную оспу.

But you look, you look so perfect dancing next to me

I wish the sun would look the other way

Matt Collar of AllMusic commented on it "somewhat more low-key than the group's debut," though added the group's progress in "deepening pop maturity." Sara London of Riff Magazine was more critical, stating, "While they do a solid job of integrating their songs into the thematic elements brought to the table by the samples, it seems more like they're siphoning the aura of others rather than creating their own." However, she marked it as a "passably amusing album," and concluded on the potential for the group, "Why Don't We could hone in their best qualities and throw the derivative filler in the garbage." *The Red Ledger* was more negative in its review, stating their "lack-luster lyrics," though acknowledged "it definitely isn't a hard listen."

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1]

I can't stop

Thinkin' 'bout you

I'm missing you and me

We used to be

I remember what you said

Trying to get that out of my head

And I never thought that

I would make it through

[Pre-Chorus]

And I've been trying, trying, baby

I've been trying to understand

Where did this get so out of hand?

I've been trying, trying, baby

I wish I knew the truth

Maybe it was me or maybe it was you

[Chorus]

Where did you go? I need to know

Tonight, tonight

Just tell me why, I gotta make things right

Tonight, tonight

[Verse 2]

I'm tryna be strong

What's taking so long

I gotta know how to right these wrongs

And if it's all the same

I can take the blame

So we can start playing this game

[Pre-Chorus]

And I've been trying, trying, baby

I've been trying to understand

Where did this get so out of hand?

I've been trying, trying, baby

I wish I knew the truth

Maybe it was me or maybe it was you

[Chorus]

Where did you go? I need to know

Tonight, tonight

Just tell me why, I gotta make things right

Tonight, tonight

[Bridge]

I take back what I said, I take back what I did

I've never meant to hurt you and I'm sorry what I did

I take back what I said, I take back what I did

I'd never meant to hurt you, can we start again?

I take back what I said, I take back what I did

(Can we go back, back? Can we go back, back? Can we go back again?)

I've never meant to hurt you, and I'm sorry what I did

(Can we go back, back? Can we go back, back? Can we go back again?)

I take back what I said, I take back what I did

(Can we go back, back? Can we go back, back? Can we go back again?)

I'd never meant to hurt you, can we start again?

(Can we go back, back? Can we go back?)

[Chorus]

Where did you go? I need to know

Tonight, tonight

Just tell me why, I gotta make things right

Tonight, tonight
