what we gotta be

I was walking down the street
Saw the buildings next to me
Saw the homeless by my feet
Saw the children playing on the concrete
Saw the faces laughing crying
Saw the people living dying
Saw the media electrifying
Saw the pain, gotta keep on trying
Life is falling, rising, dreaming, trying,
Love is what we gotta be
Life if falling, rising, dreaming, trying,
Love is what we're naturally
What do we fight for?
What do we want to see?
What do we believe in?
What makes you and me?
Let's make it love (2x)
Let's be love (2x)
Life is (3x)
Falling, rising, dreaming, trying,
Love is what we gotta be
Life is falling, rising, dreaming, trying
Love is what we're naturally

my darling

I don't know how to breathe
When I look around I see you standing there
Tell myself that I am free
But I don't know how to be with out you my darling
With out you my darling
Walking around this lazy town
Wondering if I'll ever be found
I don't know where I went wrong
Don't know why it took me so long
I don't know how to breathe
When I look around I see you standing there
Tell myself that I am free
But I don't know how to be without you my darling
Without you my darling
Oohs
I walk around these empty rooms
Your shadow follows me and consumes
When will I finally see
That you were no good for me
I don't know how to breathe
When I look around I see you standing there
Tell myself that I am free
But I don't know how to be without you
I don't want to come clean
But it seems that you don't see me standing there
You tell yourself you've set me free
But I don't know how to be without you my darling
Without you my darling
I don't know where I went wrong
I don't know how it took me so long

Why can't I comprehend how your freckles drive me crazy?
I can't seem to drill it in that you could be my baby
Maybe it's cause I'm scared of what's to come
Maybe it's cause I can't see myself with anyone else but you
But one thing remains true
I am lucky to have bumped into you
So if you do, please say you love me too
So baby baby baby please don't look at me that way
This tired game that we play is hurting me
Cause baby baby baby when I look into those eyes
I see a thousand shining skies with birds flying high
Oh and I know it's all in my mind
and I know you'll love me in your own time
But just for now
Please say you'll love me
Say you'll love me too (2x)
Love me (3x)
Say you'll love me too

fireworks

You cast your love spell on me late that night under the stars
The lingering feeling of your hands on mine as we walked along
Your words were like honey to bees
Honey drippin from poison lips
You took away my fear and apprehension with a kiss
Our love is like fireworks
You lit the fuse and it burned
The sparks flew through the night
You got me so mesmerized
Our love is like (2x)
Cause you know at the end of the night
I'll still have sparks in my eyes
You lit the fire inside took nothing to ignite
When you're near me I lose all focus
And nothing matters around us
When your eyes meet mine it's almost like we stop time
When you're gone I can't help but daydream
Bout the night when the fire burned through me
But I know what's in store cause you already left a note on the floor
And even though I try to stay away I'm attracted to you like a moth to a flame
Maybe it's the way you say my name
You got me comin back for more of the same game
Because our love is like fireworks
You lit the fuse and it burned
The sparks flew through the night
You got me so mesmerized
Our love is like (2x)
And after the explosion
I am consumed by the flames
And while I'm burning up
You're already fading away
You say I'm moving on
But I can call your bluff
Yeah I know the truth
That you just can't get enough
Your memory clings to me like the ashes falling from the sky
Our love is like fireworks
You lit the fuse and it burned
The sparks flew through the night
You got me so mesmerized
Our love is like (7x)

Oohs
For all the times that you rained on my parade
For all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart for goodness sake
You think I'm crying on my own well I ain't
And I didn't want to write a song
Cause I didn't want anyone thinking
I still care I don't but you still hit my phone up
And baby I've been moving on
And I think you should be something
I don't wanna hold back
Maybe you should know that
What do you mean
When you nod your head yes but you wanna say no
What do you mean
When you want me to stay but you tell me to go
What do you mean
Is it too late now to say sorry?
What do you mean?
Cause I'm missin more than your body
I said we're runnin out of time what do you mean
Is it too late now to say sorry?
What do you mean?
Yeah I know I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say sorry now?
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone (Ooh sorry)
And I never liked to admit that I was wrong (Ooh sorry)
I've been so caught up in my job (Ooh sorry)
didn't see what's going on but now I know I'm better sleeping on my own
Cause if you like the way you look that much then maybe you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holding on to something you should go and love yourself
(2x)
Is it too late
Is it too late now
I'd like to be anything you want
Hey girl, let me talk to you
Baby baby oh
What do you mean
When you nod your head yes but you wanna say no
What do you mean
When you want me to stay but you tell me to go
What do you mean
Ooh sorry
What do you mean
I said we're running out of time
What do you mean (2x)
Oooh sorry

what was his name
05:05

He was the first of his kind
I never knew quite what I'd find
Thoughts of him clouded my mind
I'd tell I love him if I could rewind
When I found him I was unprepared
I couldn't get close even if I dared
His big round eyes and his short blond hair
He invited me upstairs
We shared our deepest regrets
I laid on him as he smoked cigarettes
He swore that he would not forget
Even when I left
When I turned my love was nowhere to be found
But the train whistle blew and I stepped off of the ground
Through the howl of the wind I let out a sound
It sounded a lot like his name
Looking back I remember the pain
Standing alone tears mixing with rain
Broken promise broken chains
Seems like it was all part of the game
He told me that he could change
That he would turn over another page
I knew we were both to blame
We had both created our cage
When I turned my love was nowhere to be found
But the train whistle blew and I stepped off of the ground
Through the howl of the wind I let out a sound
It sounded a lot like his name
Oh I know that the answer lies not our sorrow
Oh when you go I will try to walk on alone
He comes to me often in dreams
Smiling he offers his hand to me
I feel his embrace in my sheets
The night is the only time we meet
When I turned my love was nowhere to be found
But the train whistle blew and I stepped off of the ground
Through the howl of the wind I let out a sound
It sounded like don't let me go
When I turned my love was nowhere to be found
But the train whistle blew and I stepped off of the ground
Through the howl of the wind I let out a sound
It sounded a lot like his name
What was his name?

Yeah I know its difficult
Thirty sheets of paper crumpled on the floor it's pitiful
I'm not trying to be cynical
But showing no progress after a week, yeah, it's criminal
You know this yeah it's your fuel
You channel your frustration into the formation of a tool
But sometimes that won't do it
You had your chance and now you blew it
Now whatever you do don't seem to fit
Trying to write
Trying to fight the urge to back down yeah it'll all be alright
You say it in your head
But feel the dread instead
You're thinkin about it over and over while you're in your bed
Cause I'm blocked
From my head to my toes
Blocked
Oh you know how it goes
All the words I wanna say just can't escape their cage
I'm blocked
From the sun to the moon
Blocked
From Autumn to June
I can't seem to get it out and it makes me wanna shout
Yeah, uh, I'm sitting on the words
It's like I have a curse
Cause no matter how much I want it I can't seem to find the nerve
To tell you how I feel
To tell how it's real
Cause every time I open up my mouth the words are sealed
It's on the tip of my tongue
Swaying in front of my face it's hung
And now the bells have rung
We're all alone and it's time
I can't let this opportunity escape while you're mine
You look into my eyes
And suddenly, no lie, I lose my grip on the words even though I try
The words vanish without a trace
All that's left is an empty space
Yeah, it's the right time and place
I want to say it to your face
But I can't open my mouth
It's blocked
From my head to my toes
Blocked
Oh you know how it goes
All the words I wanna say just can't escape their cage
I'm blocked
From the sun to the moon
Blocked
From Autumn to June
I can't seem to get it out and it makes me wanna shout
Piano solo
Cause I'm blocked
From my head to my toes
Blocked
Oh you know how it goes
All the words I wanna say just can't escape their cage
I'm blocked
From the sun to the moon
Blocked
From Autumn to June
I can't seem to get it out and it makes me wanna shout
