Drew looks at me.
I fake a smile so he won't see.
What I want and I need
Everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful.
That girl he talks about,
and she's got everything
that I have to live without
Drew talks to me
I laugh 'cuz its just so damn funny
But I can't even see
anyone when he's with me
He says he'... |
You look at me.
I fake a smile so you won't see.
That I want and I need
Everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful.

It was something like a perfect start to
This love yesterday but now who are you
I thought I knew
Your eyes how to know to look right through me
It's like you forgot the words you whispered to me
They weren't true
It's like it wasn't you
Could you tell me what did I do
Because it can't be we're already through
Did you... |
I took a chance, I took a shot
And you might think I'm bulletproof, but i'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who you are
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me then you cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But yo... |

I knew what I wanted
When I wanted what I just couldn't have
You were country loving
Really something for three months and a half
Everybody said that you were bad news
But baby I was betting on you
So I guess I owe my friends ten dollars and a six pack
Got myself a big country serving of payback
Now I'm gonna have to ... |
Standing on a street
Somewhere I don't want to be
In a town that's made of stone
Some bad directions must have me here by mistake
'Cause this sure ain't what I call home
Let me close my eyes for a second
See if I can get out of here and
Let my hair hang down
And I can feel the golden sun
And watch a pickup truck drive... |
Like one of those fireflies
Oh it looks so good 'til it's in your hand
It's like one of those memories
Where you can't let go but you just can't stand
It's like one of those crazy dreams
And the permanent screens in the magazines
Saying why'd I love
All it does is break your heart
One morning does it all add up
Or am ... |
No sir, I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can't decide you have made it harder just to go on
And why all the possibilities well, I was wrong
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you ge... |
I said, "I know"
He said, "Need some time, need some space
To think about all of this"
I watched him go
He watched me crushed to the floor
On my knees, just like that
He said, "When can I come back? "
I said, "That's when I wake up in the morning
That's when after sun is always storming
Laughing when I'm crying
That's... |
Combat, I'm ready for combat
I say I don't want that, but what if I do?
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies
I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you
Easy they come, easy they go
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
I never grew up, it's getting so old
Help me hold on to you
I've been the archer, I... |
I'm five years old
It's getting cold
I've got
My big coat on
I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch
The tractor rides
Look now the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep
On the way home
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anyth... |

Is it romantic how all my elegies
Eulogize me?
I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
These hunters with cell phones
Take me to the Lakes
Where all poets went to die
I don't belong
And, my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks
Look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off
But not without my muse
Wha... |
Found myself at your door
Just like all those times before
I'm not sure how I got there
All roads they lead me here
I imagine you are home
In your room, all alone
And you open your eyes into mine
And everything feels better
Right before your eyes
I'm breaking, no past
No reasons why
Just you and me

New in town with a made up name in the angel city
Chasing fortune and fame
And the camera flashes, make it look like a dream
You had it figured out since you were in school
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool
So overnight you look like a sixties' queen
Another name goes up in lights, like diamonds in the sky

I would be complex, I would be cool
They'd say I played the field
Before I found someone to commit to
And that would be okay for me to do
Every conquest I had made
Would make me more of a boss to you
I'd be a fearless leader
I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya
What's that like?
I'm so sick of running as fa... |
You should've been there,
Should've burst through the door,
With that 'baby I'm right here' smile,
And it would've felt like,
A million little shining stars had just aligned,
And I would've been so happy.
Christmas lights glisten,
I've got my eye on the door,
Just waiting for you to walk in,
But the time is ticking,

In the heat of the a fight
I walked away.
Ignoring words that you were saying,
Trying make me stay.
I said, "this time I've had enough."
And you've called a hundred times,
But I'm not pickin' up.
'cause I'm so mad,
I might tell you that it's over.
But if you look a little closer
I said, "leave,"
But all I really want ... |

I didn't know what I would find
When I went looking for a reason, I know
I didn't read between the lines
And, baby, I've got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less traveled by
But nothing seems to work the first few times
Am I right?
(chorus)
So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still ... |
If I could escape I would but, first of all,
Let me say
I must apologize for acting stank and treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?
If I could escape and recreate a place thats my o... |
I wish I could fly
I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time
I'd write this in the sky
I miss you like it was the very first night
And so it goes
Every weekend the same party
I never go alone
And I don't seem broken hearted
My friends all say they know
Everything I'm going through
I drive down different roads
But they ... |
He is sensible and
So incredible and
All my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear
And it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door
And I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
[CHORUS]
But I miss screaming and fighting
And kissing in... |
He is sensible and so incredible

Should have been different but
It wasn't different, was it
Same old story, dear john,
And so long
Should have fit like a glove
Should have fit like a ring
Like a diamond ring
A token of true love
Should have all worked out
But it didn't
She should be here now
But she isn't

There's your trouble,

I walked into a chair today
'Cause I was thinking 'bout you
Your face jumped right in my way
Like lately things do
Oh, baby, can't you see?
The thought of you makes a mess of me
I walked into a chair today
'Cause I was thinking 'bout you
And now I
I can't walk straight, I can't talk straight
I can't think about anythi... |
Stumbled off the porch steps
Sat down in the car
Only thirteen blocks across this town
To get to where you are
And that don't offer me much time
To make up my mind
So I best be driving slow
On my way to letting go
These headlights they just want to fade
Off into the night
But if they're half as stubborn as me
They'll ... |
Walking downtown shuffling my feet
I try to dream my dreams above the concrete
Store windows, traveled for miles
But something I passed really caught my eye
It was cracked down the middle, permanent scars
But I fell in love with this here guitar
Nice to meet you, can I teach you
All I know, can you show me what you do... |
Beneath the chandelier of star and atmosphere
Tangled like the roots on the ground
The windows opened up
The wind is blowing and were both not making a sound
It's like i'm melting on into you
Give me a reason why we should ever move
And
Tell me
You'll never leave me
And i'm not crazy and
This is really happening
That ... |
It was so nice throwing big parties
Jumping in the pool from the balcony
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
And there are no rules when you show up here
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
I'm shaking my head
I'm locking the gates
This is w... |
Clear blue water, high tides came
And brought you in
And I could go on and on, on and on
And I will
Skies grew darker, currents swept you out again
And you are just gone and gone
And gone, and gone
In silent screams and wildest dreams
I never dreamed of this
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is alive bac... |
Hey,hey T-swizzle (T-swizzle)
T-pizzle (t-pizzle)
I'm like 8 foot tall
Blond hair to the floor
You shorties never thought
I dreamed about rappin' hardcore!
No I ain't gotta gun,
No I never really been in a club
Still live with my parents
But I'm still a thug
I'm so gangsta
You can find me bakin' cookies at night
You... |
Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause i know you...
[chorus:]
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
You cry, but you do... |
Do you remember the day I leaned up against your car?
And it started rolling down the street
You screamed and ran after it
Tried to open the door and it ran over your foot
And I was too busy laughing on the ground to see
It would take Brad Pitt to leave you
It takes five seconds to need you
And I'm mad at all the love... |
You said the way my blue eyes shined,
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone
But when you think: ... |
Today was a fairytale
You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess

I sit and watch you reading with your head low
I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed
I sit and watch you
I notice everything you do or don't do
You're so much older and wiser, and I
I wait by the door like I'm just a kid
Use my best colors for your portrait
Lay the table with the fancy shit
And watch yo... |
Put your lips close to mine
As long as they don't touch
Out of focus eye of eye
Till the gravity is too much
And I'll do anything you say
If you say it with your hands
And I'd be smart to walk away
But you're quicksand
This slope is treacherous
This path is reckless
This slope is treacherous
And I I I like it

But you're quicksand
This slope is treacherous
This path is reckless

I remember what you wore on our first date
You came into my life
And I thought "hey you know this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true that I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But... |
You have my heart
We'll never be
World's apart
May be in magazine
But you'll still
Be my star
Baby
Cause in the dark
You can't see
Shiny cars
That's when you
Need me there
With you
I'll always share
Because
When the sun shine
We'll shine together
Told you
I'll be here forever
Said that I'll always
Be a friend

Are you trying to make me fall?
'Cause with a face like that babyi won't take too long
Keep on melting me with those eyes
And I think in a while I'll be here, no doubts, sittin' here saying
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you, I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, come a little closer
Ohh, ohh, I love you, I love you
Yeah I'm down to my la... |
Untouchable like
A distant diamond sky
I'm reaching out
And I just
Can't tell you why
I'm caught up in you
I'm caught up in you
Untouchable burning
Brighter than the sun
And when you're close
I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night
When I'm in this dream
It's like
A million little stars

Untouchable like a distant diamond sky
I'm reaching out and I just can't tell you why

Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dream

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed ... |
If you had only gotten to me first
If I could write a book on how this hurts
If you could see the way your smile looks to me
If I wasn't scared of the world alone
If I didn't know he loves me so
If I could only find the strength to leave
You'd be with me, so baby
Don't you look in my eyes
I might fall in love
With a ... |
I remember when we broke up, the first time
Saying this is it I've had enough
Because like we hadn't seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space, what?
Then you come around again and say
Baby I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change
Trust me
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say I hate you, we break up... |

We used to walk along the street
When the porch lights were shining bright
Before I had somewhere to be
Back when we had all night
And we were happy
I do recall a good while back
We snuck into the circus
You threw your arms around my neck
Back when I deserved it
And we were happy
When it was good baby
It was good bab... |
Turn WYCD on
You're
On your Grunwald
Back from the Amazon
Ah huh huh
He's here
With doctor Don
I heard
They dropped him off
In the amazon
Ah huh huh
He caught an Anaconda
Ate some piranhas
That's kinda disgusting
But whatever
Makes you happy
And I heard
Some naked boy
Showed him around
Yeah
Grunwald's
Back in town |
I got a little thing I call self control
'Cause I get a little crazy
When I let too much go
Love's a little messy and you are too
Right now I'm scared of both of you
I laugh and I play and I wasn't gonna stray
Swore I'd never let a man in my way
You're the last thing I needed today
And I don't know
Where I lost contr... |
Walking through a crowd
The village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before
And it said
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you

What do you say, when you just know
That he's the one, and you wanna go fast
But he's taking it slow
And what do you do, when he's next to you
But he's a little bit shy
Well here's something you can try
Hey, hey what do you say
We go walking down the river all together
It's a warm May beautiful day
And I feel like I c... |
She's looking in the mirror
The moment's getting nearer
She thinks about it as she walks her walk
Up and down the staircase
Make-up fresh on her face
She thinks about it as she talks her talk
School dance, first chance, always been a dreamer
There's one guy, she's shy, sees him through the mirror
And everybody looks at... |
You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone baby
For the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall
But I ain't gonna make that call
When divided we stand baby
United we fall
Got the time got a chance gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart gonna take it

Can you lie next to her and give her your heart, your heart?
As well as your body, and can you lie next to her and confess your love, your love?
As well as your folly and can you kneel before the king and say I'm clean, I'm clean
But tell me now where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart?
Oh tell me now wher... |
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Chris... |
Say you're sorry
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to.
As I paced back and forth
All this time cause
I honestly believed in you.
Holding on
The days drag on
Stupid girl I should've known, I should've known.
I'm not a princess.
This ain't a fairytale.

You rocking here with your guitar man
Shinning boots and your pull out band
Smile on your face and nothing your hand
Singing songs you got memorized
With what ever talent
Show polish right through your hands
But don't ruin yourself I ain't your competition
Don't flatter yourself that was never my intention

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 bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition is

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

Flashing lights
And we took a wrong turn
And we fell down a rabbit hole
You held on tight to me
'Cause nothing's as it seems
And spinning out of control
Didn't they tell us
"Don't rush into things"
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me
Haven't you heard what becomes of curious minds?
Didn't it all seem new and exci... |
I can't believe you did it again
Walk by and took my heart with you
Why'd you have to look so good?
Don't you know I'm trying to hate you?
Trying to have a dream without you in it
But how can I put out this fire, when you're the one who lit it?
I can't wait for the day
I stop pretending I'm really ok when I'm not

Once the last drop of rain has dried off the pavement
Shouldn't I find a stain, but I never do
The way the tires turn stones, on old county roads
They leave 'em muddy underneath
Reminds me of you
You find graffiti on the walls of old bathroom stalls
You know, you can scratch it right off
It's how it used to be
But like... |
One look, dark room
Meant just for you
Time moved too fast, you play it back
Buttons on a coat
Lighthearted joke
No proof, not much, but you saw enough
Small talk, he drives
Coffee at midnight
Moonlight reflects the chain on your neck
He says "look up"
And your shoulders brush
No proof, one touch and you felt enough... |
You're on the phone with your girlfriend
She's upset, she's going off about
Something that you said
She doesn't get your humor
Like I do
I'm in my room
It's a typical tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music
She doesn't like
She'll never know your story
Like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts

Here I am once again
In your driveway thinking I should be leaving
I should go, but it's so
Entertaining watching you breathing
You went and got to me like
A stupid song on the radio
That you try to forget
But it sticks in your head
So goodbye, it's not goodnight
'Cause I'll be seeing you when I'm dreaming
Well you ... |
You don't have to call me
And say you're sorry,
I'm already gone...
You don't have to call me
And break my heart
Each time, I try movin' on, oh
You don't have to call,
Anymore, oh yeah..
You don't have to call, baby. |
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn
You know you love me,I know you care
You shout whenever, and I'll be there
You want my love, you want my heart
And we will never ever ever be apart
And I was like
Baby, baby, baby oooh
My baby, ba... |
You are somebody that I don't know
But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patrón
And I'm just like, damn, it's 7 AM
Say it in the street, that's a knock-out

You are somebody that I don't know
But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patrón
