Nice to meet you, where you been?
I can 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, you want to play?
New money, suit & tie
I can read you like a magazine
Aint it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, lets be friends
Im dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
So its gonna be forever or its gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when its over if the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers, theyll tell you Im insane
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game
So goddamn reckless, well take this way too far
Itll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers, theyll tell you Im insane
But Ive got a blank space, baby, and Ill write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
Im youre king and youre my queen
Find out what you want, be that girl for a month
Wait the worst is yet to come
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keeping you second guessing like
Oh my God, who is she?, you get drunk on jealousy
But youll come back each time you leave
So its gonna be forever or its gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when its over if the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers, theyll tell you Im insane
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game
So goddamn reckless, well take this way too far
Itll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers, theyll tell you Im insane
But Ive got a blank space, baby, and Ill write your name
Ill write your name
Ill write your name
Ill write your name |
My names Gracie
Ill be five in May
Kind of scared cause
Ive never been on a plane
My mama says that itll be alright
Cause Im going to see my daddy tonight
And she says that
Theres a whole a lot of good people in heaven
And I dont wanna get there too soon
And I know theres a God because I met him
And I see it when Im looking at you
There aint no accidents in what we do
My names Heather
Guess were on the same flight
Dont mind Gracie
She could talk to you all night
Shes finally well enough to travel
Doctor says shes in the clear
Shes been in and out of hospital
Since the beginning of the year
Theres a whole a lot of good people in heaven
And I dont wanna get there too soon
And I know theres a God because I met him
And I see it when Im looking at you
There aint no accidents in what we do
James T. Johnson
Thats her daddys name
Hes been overseas
Itll be a year today
He never talked about being scared over the phone
He just said me and Gracie will come and take him on
Theres a whole a lot of good people in heaven
And I dont wanna get there too soon
And I know theres a God because I met him
And I see it when Im looking at you
There aint no accidents in what we do
And the people that we meet
As we go through the rain
There are no accidents in what we do |

To be under my skin, wrapped around my heart
Is it like anywhere youve been?
And everything I do, I do it just for you
So why the hell dont you love me?
Why the hell dont you need me like I need you?
Why you so far above me?
Dont you know that theres nothing I wouldnt do?
But I was just a toy, which you destroyed
Stupid boy
I have been looking in, trying to read your mind
Give you the benefit of the doubt, every single time
And then you walk right by, Im screaming out inside
Why the hell dont you love me?
Why the hell dont you need me like I need you?
Why you so far above me?
Dont you know that theres nothing I wouldnt do?
But I was just a toy, which you destroyed
Stupid boy
What happens when you wake up, to see that youve lost?
You take one look at me, cause thats what it cost
I just wanna be everything you need
Cause youre everything to me
So why the hell dont you love me?
Why the hell dont you need me like I need you?
Why you so far above me?

Promise that youll never find another like me
I know that Im a handful, baby, uh
I know I never think before I talk
And youre the kind of guy the kids all like
I know that I went psycho on the phone
I never leave well enough alone
And troubles gonna follow where I go
But one of these things is not like the others
Like a rainbow with all of the colors
Baby doll, when it comes to another
I promise that youll never find another like

Baby, thats the fun of me
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And I promise that nobodys gonna love you like me-e-e
I know I tend to make it about me
I know you never get just what you see
But I will never bore you, baby
And when we had that fight out in the rain
You ran after me and called my name
I never wanna see you walk away
Cause one of these things is not like the others
Livin in winter, I am your summer
Baby doll, when it comes to another
I promise that youll never find another like
Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Im the only one of me
Let me keep you company
Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Youre the only one of you
Baby, thats the fun of you
And I promise that nobodys gonna love you like me-e-e
Hey, kids!

Im 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
Im 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
Im dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
So may your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white |

It was something like a perfect start to this love yesterday
But now who are you?
I thought I knew
Your eyes happen now to look right through me
It’s like you forgot the words you whispered to me
They werent true
Its like it wasnt you
Could you tell me what did I do?
Because it cant be were already through
Did you sell me out for a fool after you held me?
Was that just what you do?
What did you need from me?
Tell me
Take time to realize
I know that people change their minds
But that was something I wished you would say to my face
But you ran away
Could you tell me what did I do?
Because it cant be were already through
Did you sell me out for a fool after you held me?
Was that just what you do?
What did you need from me?
Tell me
If I had a reason or a simple goodbye
Baby, even a lie
Yeah, yeah
Tell me what did I do
Cause, baby, suddenly were already through
Did you sell me out for a fool after you held me?
Was that just what you do?
What did you need from me?
And tell me
And tell me
Oh-oh-oh, oh-yeah
And tell me
Tell me |
Please take down the mistletoe
Cause I dont want to think about that right now
Cause everything I want is miles away
In a snow covered little town
My mommas in the kitchen, worrying about me
Seasons greetings, hope youre well
Well Im doing alright
If you were wondering
Lately I can never tell
I know this shouldnt be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when you were mine
Ive been doing fine without you, really
Up until the nights got cold
And everybodys here, except you, baby
Seems like everyones got someone to hold
But for me its just a lonely time
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine
Merry Christmas, everybody
Thatll have to be something I just say this year
Ill 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 shouldnt be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when I didnt wonder how you are tonight
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine
You were mine |
Cause Ill be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met til you were making me cry
And its just too bad you already had the best days
The best days of your life
Aint it a shame?
A shame that every time you hear my name
Brought up in a casual conversation
You cant think straight?
And aint it sad
You cant forget about what we had?
Take a look at her and do you like what you see
Or do you wish it was me?
Cause Ill be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And its just too bad you already had the best days
The best days of your life
And does she know
Know about the times you used to hold me
Wrapped me in your arms and how you told me
Id be 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
Aint jealousy funny?
Cause Ill be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met to the very last night
And its just too bad you already had the best days
The best days of your life
Life with me was a fairytale love
I was head over heels til you threw away us
And its just too bad you already had the best days
The best days of your life
I heard youre gonna get married, have a nice little family
Live out my dreams with someone new
But Ive been told that a cheater is always a cheater
So Ive got my pride and shes got you
Cause Ill be there in the back of your mind
From the day we met til you were making me cry
And its just too bad you already had the best days
The best days of your life
Of your life, oh, oh yeah
Youre gonna think of me
Youre gonna think of me in your life
Oh, oh, yeah
Its a shame
Its a shame
Its a shame, its a shame, its a shame |
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me all alone
You found me
You found me
You found me
I guess you didnt care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard, you took a step back
Without me
Without me
Without me
And shes long gone, when shes 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 Id never been
Till you put me down
Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places Id never been
Now Im lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, Oh
Trouble, Trouble, Trouble
Oh, Oh
Trouble, Trouble, Trouble
No apologies, shell never see you cry
Pretends she doesnt know that shes the reason why
Youre drowning
Youre drowning
Youre drowning
Now I heard you moved on, from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all Ill ever be
And now I see
Now I see
Now I see
She was long gone when she met me
And I realize the joke is on me
Yeah
Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places Id never been
Till you put me down
Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places Id never been
Now Im lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, Oh
Trouble, Trouble, Trouble
Oh, Oh
Trouble, Trouble, Trouble
And the saddest fear, comes creeping in
That you never loved me, or him, or anyone, or anything, yeah!
Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places Id never been
Till you put me down
Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places Id never been
Now Im 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 |
Sometimes I wonder how its going to 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
Everyday he says, darling youre my best girl
He tried to teach me from the very start
The meaning of love so nobody breaks my heart
Will my love come in a bowl of fire?
Will it be filled with hope and desire?
Will my love come in a pouring rain?
Am I ready for the joy, am I ready for the pain
Am I ready for the boy, am I ready for love
I know Im not a little girl anymore
Cause Im feeling things Ive 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 2 yourself & keep your spirit free
And love will find you one way or another
Be good to yourself and be good to each other
Its a run around the world
And its moving so fast
Though I want to find
A love thats going to last
A love so strong
That I can withstand
The weight of the world
In the palm of its hand
Will my love come in a bowl of fire?
Will it be filled with hope and desire?
Will my love come in a pouring rain?
Am I ready for the joy, am I ready for the pain
Am I ready for the boy, am I ready for this game
Am I ready for the kiss, am I ready for the stars
Am I ready for the bliss, am I ready for love |
She didnt have a reason to go, oh no
She didnt have a reason to stay
Either way she didnt tell anyone about her first ray of sun
She looked at her keys and found a reason to run
And time stands still when youre nowhere bound
But I understand it somehow
If I could drive all night would I find my peace of mind?
Would it be a million miles of cold white lies
And unfamiliar exit signs?
I just drive on by, just south of knowing why
I didnt really know her that well
But I could tell that her smile was only something to hide behind
She felt so out of touch, because she just felt too much
If you dont know what you want nothings ever enough
And time stands still when youre nowhere bound
Thats where Im headed right now
If I could drive all night would I find my peace of mind?
Would it be a million miles of cold white lies
And unfamiliar exit signs?
I just drive on by, just south of knowing why
I dont have a plan, I dont have a map
I dont even know if Im ever going back
I dont have a when and I dont have a where
I dont even know if Ill know when Im there
But If I could drive all night would I find my peace of mind?
Would it be a million miles of cold white lies
And unfamiliar exit signs?
I just drive on by
I just drive on by, drive on, drive on
Drive all night
If I drive on, drive on, drive on
Drive all night, just south of knowing why |
All is quiet in the world tonight
Catching stars and fireflies
The summer sings a lullaby
With just me and my baby
On the hood of his daddys car
Pass around his old guitar
Bet mamas wondering where we are
Its just me and my baby
The world is spinning round
Cause look just what Ive found
Ooh, lifes so sweet right here
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
Ooh, just want to stay right here
Cause nothings quite like being with my baby
Driving home by the river side
Wishing I could slow down time
Taking pictures in my mind
Both me and my baby
The car pulls up and Im home too late
We didnt take that interstate
Back roads was a better way
For me and my baby
The closer that we get
Oh, I cant leave yet
Ooh, lifes so sweet right here
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
Ooh, just want to stay right here
Cause nothings quite like being with my baby
Look at what weve found
So turn that car around
Ooh, lifes so sweet right here
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
Ooh, just want to stay right here
Ooh, hanging with my baby
Hanging with my baby, my baby |
Do you remember the day
I leaned up against your car
And it started rolling down the street?
You screamed and ran after it
And 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
When Im mad at all the lovebirds
Cause they dont know to play our song
I wish that pretty girls couldnt see you
I wish that all your roads would lead you right to me
Cause thats where you belong
Until Brad Pitt comes along
Do you remember the time we watched Carrie
And you said it reminded you of me?
And I threw the remote at you
And you said my point exactly
And later on that night, under the neon city lights
You paid a homeless guy to sing a song to me
It would take Brad Pitt to leave you
It takes five seconds to need you
When Im mad at all the lovebirds
Cause they dont know to play our song
I wish that pretty girls couldnt see you
I wish that all your roads would lead you right to me
Cause thats where you belong
Until Brad Pitt comes along
You call me lucky cause I lose everything
But I swear Id be careful with it
If you gave me a ring
It would take Brad Pitt to leave you
It takes five seconds to need you
When Im mad at all the lovebirds
Cause they dont know to play our song
I wish that pretty girls couldnt see you
I wish that all your roads would lead you right to me
Cause thats where you belong
Until Brad Pitt comes along |
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Im standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
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
Begging you, Please dont go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting, all therеs left to do is run
Youll be the princе and Ill be the princess
Its a love story, baby, just say, Yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause were dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh, oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, Stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you, Please dont go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting, all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
Its a love story, baby, just say, Yes
Romeo, save me, theyre trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but its real
Dont be afraid, well make it out of this mess
Its a love story, baby, just say, Yes
Oh, oh
But I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said, Romeo, save me, Ive been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I dont know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said
Marry me, Juliet, youll never have to be alone
I love you and thats all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
Its a love story, baby, just say, Yes
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Cause we were both young when I first saw you |
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts
Im standing there

I like glitter and sparkly dresses
But Im not going to talk about that
In my monologue
I like baking and things that smell like winter
But Im not going to talk about that
In my monologue
La la la, la la la
I like writing songs about douche bags who cheat on me
But Im not going to say that
In my monologue
I like writing their names into songs so theyre ashamed to go in public
But Im not going to say that
In my monologue
La la, la la la la la
This is my musical monologue
You might think Id bring up Joe
The guy who broke up with me on the phone
But Im not going to mention him
In my monologue
Hey Joe! Im doing real well
Tonight Im hosting SNL
But Im not going to brag about that
In my monologue
La la la, ha ha ha
Ha ha ha, ha ha ha
La la la
And if youre wondering if I might
Be dating the werewolf from Twilight
Im not going to comment on that
In my monologue
La la, la la la la la
This is my musical monologue
You might be expecting me to say
Something bad about Kanye
And how he ran up on the stage
And ruined my VMA monologue
But theres nothing more to say
Cause everythings okay
Ive got security lining this stage
This is my SNL monologue
La la, la la la la la
This is my SNL monologue
La la, la la la la la
That was my SNL monologue |

Taylor Swift
Grammys youngest ever winner of Album of the Year, Fearless
Is there Bad Blood?
Taylor Swift is responsible for me being suspended
Taylor Swift is in hot water again
Taylor Swift is on top of the world, but has she done some sketchy things to get there?
Thirteen celebs who have issues with Taylor Swift
I felt like she was a little angry
Number thirteen
There she is leaving a restaurant
She holds too many grudges
Why did Taylor Swift-
You can see her feet at the very bottom, and can see her making her way into the car
I can understand trying to keep your relationship to yourself at the beginning, or needing to take some time to work on your craft
But come on!
And Taylor, voluntarily bringing attention to herself of her donations
What Swift did is not enough
Yeah, okay Tay, Whatever you say
I, I hate to say this, but I think Taylor Swift is learning a few lessons in life
All this drama is exhausting
Taylor Swift should focus on making the rest of reputation
Reputation
What it is-
Reputation
Taylor Swifts new romance is heating up
Reputation
And what has happened to the squad
Reputation
But at the same time, I think both-
Reputation
Taylor Swift takes the stand in court today
Taylor Swifts reputation

Lets watch the tide chase the waves onto the sand
I wonder if a broken heart can feel the warmth of my hand
And I wonder what a piece of driftwood has seen all through his lifetime
Lets walk away the past through the smokey black nights
Ive seen a million things
Spoke a million words
Now I only want to speak to you
Waiting for the words
Counting every bird
Theres nothing Id rather do
On the smokey black nights
Still through the haze I can make out constellations
Ill make one of you and me as we sit in the sand
And I saw that sunset gleaming as my eyes went wild
Lets walk away the past through the smokey black nights
Ive played a thousand songs
Sang a thousand words
Now I only want to sing to you
Waited on a wire
Staring at the fire
Theres nothing Id rather do
On the smokey black nights
Ive walked a thousand miles
Smiled a thousand smiles
Now I only smile when Im with you
Waiting for the words
Counting every bird
Theres nothing Id rather do
On the smokey black nights
So walk with me as the sweet wind dances
Ill write a song for you and me on the smokey black nights |
She said, Lets get out of this town
Drive out of this city, away from the crowds
I thought, heaven cant help me now
Nothing lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down
Shes so tall and handsome as hell
Shes so bad, but she does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition is
Say youll remember me
Standing in your nice dress, staring at the sunset
Red lips and rosy cheeks, say youll see me again
Even if its just in your wildest dreams
Your wildest dreams
I said, No one has to know what we do
Her hands are in my hair, her clothes are in my room
Her voice is a familiar sound, nothing lasts forever
But this is getting good now
Shes so tall and handsome as hell
Shes so bad, but she does it so well
And when weve had our very last kiss
My last request is
Say youll remember me
Standing in your nice dress, staring at the sunset, baby
Red lips and rosy cheeks, say youll see me again
Even if its just in your wildest dreams
Your wildest dreams
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
Bet all these memories will follow you around
Will follow you around, round
Say youll remember me
Standing in your nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks, say youll see me again
Even if its just in your wildest dreams
Your wildest dreams
Say youll remember me
Say youll remember me |
So, were gonna have the band take a little tiny break and Im gonna play you a song that, uh, I wrote this when I was like thirteen years old and just moved to Nashville, and I knew that I wanted to end up making music and on a record label, but I didnt know how I was going to get there. And I wrote this song about it
I dont know what I want, so dont ask me
Cause Im still trying to figure it out
Dont know whats down this road, Im just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though Im not the only one
Who feels the way I do
Im alone, on my own, and thats all I know
Ill be strong, Ill be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh, Im just a girl, trying to find a place in this world
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And Im wearing my heart on my sleeve
Im feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrows just a mystery, oh yeah
But thats OK
Im alone, on my own, and thats all I know
Ill be strong, Ill be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh, Im just a girl, trying to find a place in this world
Im alone, on my own, and thats all I know
Ill be strong, Ill be wrong, oh but life goes on
Oh Im alone, on my own, and thats all I know
Cause Im just a girl, trying to find a place in this world |
What if ribbons and bows didnt mean a thing?
Would the song still survive without five 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 would you find?
Youd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So heres to the birthday boy who saved our lives
Its something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So heres 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 wished they would always do?
What if happiness came in a cardboard box?
Then I think there is something we all forgot
What would happen if presents all went away?
Tell me, what would you find?
Youd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So heres to the birthday boy who saved our lives
Its something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So heres 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
Hundred-mile-an-hour lives
And its this time of year
And everybodys here
It seems the last thing on your mind
Is that the day holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So heres to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
Its something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
But heres something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something more
Theres gotta be more
Theres gotta be more |
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, Ill never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Dont leave me here alone
But all thats dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
Youll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and Ill be safe and sound
Dont you dare look out your window, darling
Everythings on fire
The war outside your door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the musics gone...
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
Youll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and Ill be safe and sound
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Just close your eyes
Youll be alright
Come morning light
You and Ill be safe and sound...
Oooh, oooh-whoa-whoa, oooh, oooh oh
Oooh , oooh -whoa-whoa, oooh, oooh oh

Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him
Wondered how many girls he had loved and left haunted
But if hes a ghost, then I can be a phantom
Holdin him for ransom, some
Some boys are tryin too hard, he dont 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 gon go
Touch me and youll 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 Im gonna be with you, so Ill take my time
Are you ready for it?
Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off and never sayin sorry
But if Im a thief, then he can join the heist, and
Well move to an island, and
And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor
Every love Ive known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now, Im so very tame now
Never be the same now, now
I, I, I see how this is gon go
Touch me and youll 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
Yeah, in the middle of the night in my dreams
I know Im gonna be with you, so I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Night, in my dreams
Wed do, baby
Yeah, in the middle of the night
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
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby |

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 wont forget this Sunday
It starts with a smile, and we walk a few miles
And it all leads to this - our first kiss
All my friends are saying
Girl, what are you thinking?
Youre better off
Youre better off without him
Find yourself another
Girl, that boy is trouble
Youre better off, youre better off
They can talk forever, they just dont know better
We drive around town in a rusty old truck
Somehow it feels like were flying
Dont want to come down
But they make it so tough
Cause everyone we know is trying
To push us apart hide it down in our hearts
And they get what they want cause youre gone
All my friends are saying
Girl, why are you crying?
Youre better off, youre better off without him
Find yourself another
Girl, that boy is trouble
Youre better off, youre better off
They can talk forever, they just dont know better
You come to my door
In the pouring rain
We know what we dont have to say
You hand me a rose and a note that says
We dont have to do things their way
All my friends are saying
Girl, what are you thinking?
Youre better off, youre better off without him
Find yourself another
Girl, that boy is trouble
Youre better off, youre better off
Well, they can talk forever, they just dont know better |
I cant believe you did it again
Walked by and took my heart with you
Why did you have to look so good?
Dont you know that Im trying to hate you
Trying to have a dream without you in it
But how can I put out this fire
When youre the one who lit it
I cant wait for the day I stop pretending
That Im really OK when Im not
I want to know how it feels to be
Over you for real
Until I do
Ill keep writing songs about you
Ive got a stack of papers so high
And its all about you baby
Keep thinking maybe I
Can make sense of something crazy
Something I cant get out of my Head
I write your name I write your name
Then I tear it all to shreds
I cant wait for the day I stop pretending
That Im really OK when Im not
I want to know how it feels to be
Over you for real
Until I do
Ill keep writing songs about you
And if you ever change your mind
And want me back again
I hope these songs will remind me
Why I shouldnt let you in
I cant wait for the day I stop pretending
That Im really OK cause Im not
I want to know how it feels to be
Over you for real
Until I do
Ill just wait for the day
I stop pretending
That Im really OK when Im not
I want to know how it feels to be over you for real
Till I do
Ill keep writing songs about you |
You were what I wanted when I wanted what I just couldnt have
You were country lovin
Really somethin 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
I guess Im gonna have to listen to my mamas I told you so
But you aint worth all that, ten dollars and a six pack
I said, let them say were crazy, you said, lets go fishing tonight
The midnight moon was blazing baby, I was looking into your eyes
Everything changed when you took me to town
Caught you staring every other girl down
So I guess I owe my friends ten dollars and a six pack
Got myself a big country serving of payback
I guess Im gonna have to listen to my mamas I told you so
But you aint worth all that, ten dollars and a six pack
Cant believe the time you lost me
Cant believe what it cost me
I owe my friends ten dollars and a six pack
Got myself a big country serving of payback
Had to go and listen to my mamas I told you so
You aint never been through that
You aint worth all that, ten dollars and a six pack
You aint worth all that, ten dollars and a six pack |
Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobblestones
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Sequin smile, black lipstick
Sensual politics
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
But I knew you
Dancin in your Levis
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 someones 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 someones 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 Im 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 youd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew youd 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 Id curse you for the longest time
Chasin shadows in the grocery line
I knew youd miss me once the thrill expired
And youd be standin in my front porch light
And I knew youd come back to me
Youd come back to me
And youd come back to me
And youd come back
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someones bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite |

To put it plainly, we just couldnt stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in and my collaborators and I are proud to announce that my 9th studio album and folklores sister record is here. Its called evermore.
Ive never done this before. In the past Ive always treated albums as one-off еras and moved onto planning the next onе as soon as an album was released. There was something different with folklore. In making it, I felt less like I was departing and more like I was returning. I loved the escapism I found in these imaginary/not imaginary tales. I loved the ways you welcomed the dreamscapes and tragedies and epic tales of love lost and found. So I just kept writing them. And I loved creating these songs with Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, WB, and Justin Vernon. Weve also welcomed some new friends to our musical kitchen table this time around...
Before I knew it there were 17 tales, some of which are mirrored or intersecting with one another. The one about two young con artists who fall in love while hanging out at fancy resorts trying to score rich romantic beneficiaries. The one where longtime college sweethearts had very different plans for the same night, one to end it and one who brought a ring. Dorothea, the girl who left her small town to chase down Hollywood dreams - and what happens when she comes back for the holidays and rediscovers an old flame. The unhappily ever after anthology of marriages gone bad that includes infidelity, ambivalent toleration, and even murder. The most righteous motive, to avenge the fallen. The realization that maybe the only path to healing is to wish happiness on the one who took it away from you. One starring my grandmother, Marjorie, who still visits me sometimes...if only in my dreams.
I wanted to surprise you with this the week of my 31st birthday. Youve all been so caring, supportive and thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I wanted to give you something! I also know this holiday season will be a lonely one for most of us and of there are any of you out there who turn to music to cope with missing loved ones the way I do, this is for you.
I have no idea what will come next. I have no idea about a lot of things these days and so Ive clung to the one thing that keeps me connected to you all. That thing always has and always will be music.
And may it continue, evermore. |
A heart is drawn around your name
In someones handwriting, not mine |
I walk in the room theres a beautiful sunshine ray
Across the room
Then I hear the phone ring walk to it and I dont know what to say
Hello, good day
But what I do know, is that tonight is gonna be the night, when
He says I love you and I really care about you
When, he says hell hold me in his arms when Im afraid
When, Ill say, oh, Ill say I love him too
And, I care about you, yeah, this aint no charade
Then hell drive me home listenin to the radio
And, he says he really loves me too, hell do anything
Oh, I walk through the door theres a beautiful moonlight shine
Across the room
I crawl into bed thinkin what I did today
With him
But what I do know, is that, I love him too
And the next time I see
Him walking down the street
Ill think about this time, that was as beautiful as sunshine, oh
He says I love you and I really care about you
Yeah, he says hell hold me in his arms when Im afraid
And Ill say, I love you too, yeah, I love you
Oh, Ill say, I care about you, yeah, this aint no charade
Then hell drive me home, listenin to the radio
Then, he says, he really loves me and hell do anything
I look in his brown eyes, and see a surprise
Its like a present that you open
Oh, and do you know, oh, do you know
What that surprise is?
Its love
And the next time I see him walking down the streets in his old white T-shirt, Ill always remember
This time, that was as beautiful as sunshine
Oh, oh, oh, sunshine, oh, oh, oh, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine, was as beautiful as sunshine |

Stumble up the porch step
You 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 wanna fade
Off into the night
But if they’re half as stubborn as me
They’ll just keep on shining bright
I ain’t ever been one to settle like
The dust does on the dash
Since the feeling ain’t strong
I’ll just move on
And leave this in my past
Once youre gone I know your memoryll
Somehow get the best of me
So I question everything I do
Unsure of turning you away
Wonderin bout how Ill feel the day
I see you find somebody new
So I’ve been holding on
Way too long
But not another minute
Im gonna miss you bad but
Can’t call it love if you ain’t in it
Red light turns to green
Then back to red again
I wish there were some other travelers out here
To slow my travelling
Even though the wheel rolled on
Inside I still don’t know
Oh and it troubles me so, oh
Once youre gone I know your memoryll
Somehow get the best of me
So I question everything I do
Unsure of turning you away
Wonderin bout how Ill feel the day
I see you found somebody new
And I’ve been holding on
Way too long
But not another minute
I might miss you bad but
Can’t call it love if you ain’t in it
Your car comes to a rest in the drive
You open up the door and I see you smile |
My momma stood across the room
Face to face but never eye to eye
Recalling words we said
The battle that we swore
Wed never fight
Breaking pieces off with every lie
A tear came to her eye
And she said
Dont walk away now
And dont rip my heart out
Dont you block me out tonight
Honey where are you?
And dont hate me for loving you
He walked around my life
And made blind
With every single move
He caught me staring at him
Mad about him
Little that I knew
Love is different
When you play the fool
And all I want to do is say
Dont walk away now
And dont rip my heart out
Dont you make cry tonight
Like you always do
And dont hate me for loving you
I slammed the door
Sat on the floor
Cried into my bed
Said are you there?
Do you even care?
To cross above my head
But someone said
Dont turn away now
And dont rip my heart out
Things are meant to happen like this
I know its right for you
And dont hate me for loving you
I looked up at the sky
Face to face and finally
Eye to eye |
People like you always want back
The love they gave away
And people like me wanna believe
When you say that youve changed
The more I think about it now
The less I know
All I know is that you drove us off the road
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hands
Whyd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?
Stay, hey
Now you say you want it back
Now its just too late
Well, it could have been easy
All you had to do was stay
Here you are now calling me up
But I dont know what to say
Ive been picking up the pieces
Of the mess you made
People like you always want back
The love they pushed aside
But, people like me are gone forever
When you say goodbye
Stay, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Whyd you have to go and lock me out while I let you in?
Stay, hey
Now you say you want it back
Its just too late
Well, it could have been easy
All you had to do was stay
Well, it could have been easy
All you had to do was stay
Couldve been easy
All you had to do was stay
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
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay |
If you love me then I love you, swear by the freckles on the moon
And maybe this will be enough
Id like to keep you til Im old, but if I cant, at least youll know
That, baby, perfect have I loved
Do you remember the stupid things we used to do?
Before September stole me away from you?
The time we got your truck stuck in the creek?
Cause, baby, roads werent wild enough for you and me, sayin
If you love me then I love you, swear by the freckles on the moon
And maybe this will be enough
Id like to keep you til Im old, but if I cant, at least youll know
That, baby, perfect have I loved
I used to see you by the bridge we used to cross
I found the feeling of trying to get lost
You would smile that smile that I tried so hard to forget
Its hard to douse a fire that I still havent put out yet
And if you love me then I love you, swear by the freckles on the moon
And maybe this will be enough
Id like to keep you til Im old, but if I cant, at least youll know
That, baby, perfect have I loved
Love was all we knew, and faith was growing on the vines
Words were all we had, and for one summer, you were mine
Sayin
If you love me then I love you, swear by the freckles on the moon
And maybe this will be enough
Id like to keep you til Im old, but if I cant, at least Ill know
That, baby, perfect have I loved |
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 |
I loved you for a little, a little while
I think you know that!
It would have worked for a little
Except for that day you...
Its not like you to be here
When you said you wont!
But in the pouring rain
You changed everything
You changed the tune!
In the middle of the game
You changed everything
You changed the rules!
Its not like we could forget something quickly
Except in the pouring rain
It kills me to say this
It really does, it kills my heart!
But I might still love you
Reason were just fallen apart
But its not like me to answer
Gonna change my mind!
But in the pouring rain, You changed everything
You changed the tune!
In the middle of the game
You changed everything
You changed the rules!
And its not like we could forget something quickly
Except in the pouring rain
Oh, am I...
All I torn myself I would be losing!
But in the pouring rain, can you feel my pain?
My tears are falling down from the sky!
In the pouring rain, I can feel...
I wonder who you love tonight
Oh, in the pouring rain
In the pouring rain
Oh, in the pouring rain!
In the pouring rain
You changed everything
You changed my mind |
I heard a song tonight on the radio
Another girl sings about a boy
Just sees his face in every space in every room
And I know that if I turn around you wont be there
If I close my eyes will you be there?
I dont want to lose your face
And I dont want to wake one day
And not remember what time erased
And I dont want to turn around
Because I’m not scared
Of what love gave me and took away
And I dont want to lose your face
Ive got a picture of you in my bedroom
And I hope it never falls
And I hope I never lose that feeling
I used to get when you would call
And now I wonder to myself
Who were you and where are you?
Were you ever here at all?
I dont want to lose your face
And I dont want to wake one day
And not remember what time erased
And I dont want to turn around
Because I’m not scared
Of what love gave me and took away
And I dont want to lose your face
That girl in the song had it so good
I wish I could close my eyes and see you
I wish the sky had your face
And the oceans had your eyes
And the sunset had your lips
And I had you
I dont want to lose your face
And I dont want to wake one day
And not remember what time erased
And I dont want to turn around
Because I’m not scared
Of what love gave me and took away
And I dont want to lose your face |
Here I am, once again
In your driveway, thinking I should be leaving
I should go but its so entertaining watching you breathing
You went and got to me like
The stupid song on the radio that you try to forget
But it sticks in your head
So goodbye, its not goodnight
Cause Ill be seeing you in my dreamin
Boy, you got me like a shot to the heart
Got me shakin so bad, spilled my coffee in the car
Caught a red light I ran right through
Gotta call my friends, tell them all about you
Always looking like one of those nights
When youre thinkin bout kissing til the morning light
You got me, you do
In a daze, pull the shades
Close my eyes and picture you at my window
I relax, I go back to all the things you said
That only I know
Boy, you got me like a shot to the heart
Got me shakin so bad, spilled my coffee in the car
Caught a red light I ran right through
Gotta call my friends, tell them all about you
Always looking like one of those nights
When youre thinkin bout kissing til the morning light
You got me, you do
Im runnin right out to my car
And I pull out the drive
Its only been ten minutes
But I have to see you one more time
Boy, you got me like a shot to the heart
Got me shakin so bad, spilled my coffee in the car
Caught a red light I ran right through
Gotta call my friends, tell them all about you
Always looking like one of those nights
When youre thinkin bout kissing til the morning light
You got me, you do |
I shined your shoes
I poured the wine
I gave you all of my time
I patched your dents
Smiled at your friends
Which apparently is a crime
I gave you space
You took my place
And gave it to her
But lifes too long
To waste it all loving a liar
And when love hands me matches now
Im gonna burn it down
I keyed her car
Got my guitar
And wrote this damn song
Look what youve found
Shes been around
I hear the lines long
And dont you tell me
To be nice
Im not a nice girl
She died from complications
Of the things you told her
So when love hands me matches now
Im gonna burn it down
Aint it funny
You said honey
You meant sitting duck
Well I say, cheater, liar, truck on fire, loser, leaver, deceiver
Just a few Ive thought of
And when love hands me matches now
Gonna burn it down
Im gonna burn it down
Oh yeah
Gonna burn it, burn it, burn it down
Matches, now |

Shes looking in the mirror
The moments 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
Theres one guy, shes shy
Sees him through the mirror
And everybody looks at her
She thinks about it
Blue dress, angel face
Looking in the mirror
Shoes, purse, hair tied back
And you should see her
Shes got her magic
Floating through the air
Peace, love
One thing leads into another
Dream big, aim small
Man you got to love her
Shes got her hopes up
Got them up to there
Wondering what to wear
Shes standing in her bedroom
Hell be pulling up soon
She thinks about it when she sees headlights
Looking out the window
Shes got her diary to show
That shes been waiting for this all her life
First date, cant wait
Looking in the mirror
Heart all wrapped up
Wait until he sees her
Hes looking right at her
She thinks about it
Sixteen blue jeans, Abercrombie T-shirt
Shoes, purse, hair tied back
And you should see her
Shes got her magic
Floating through the air
The years went by
The mirror saw her cry
She got up again
She got up again
The wind blew by
The small town lights
She got up again
Move out, find out
Where the world can take her
Bright lights, late nights
Living for the greater
Move to Paris
Living on a prayer
Peace, love
One thing leads into another
Dream big, aim small
Man you got to love her
Shes got her hopes up
Got them up to there
Shes got her hopes up
Got them up to there
Wondering what to wear
Oh, oh, oh

Where will the music industry be in 20 years, 30 years, 50 years?
Before I tell you my thoughts on the matter, you should know that youre reading the opinion of an enthusiastic optimist: one of the few living souls in the music industry who still believes that the music industry is not dying…its just coming alive
There are many people who predict the downfall of music sales and the irrelevancy of the album as an economic entity. I am not one of them. In my opinion, the value of an album is, and will continue to be, based on the amount of heart and soul an artist has bled into a body of work, and the financial value that artists place on their music when it goes out into the marketplace. Piracy, file sharing and streaming have shrunk the numbers of paid album sales drastically, and every artist has handled this blow differently
In recent years, youve probably read the articles about major recording artists who have decided to practically give their music away, for this promotion or that exclusive deal. My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet…is that they all realize their worth and ask for it
Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for. Its my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an albums price point is. I hope they dont underestimate themselves or undervalue their art
Arrows Through the Heart
In mentioning album sales, Id like to point out that people are still buying albums, but now theyre buying just a few of them. They are buying only the ones that hit them like an arrow through the heart or have made them feel strong or allowed them to feel like they really arent alone in feeling so alone. It isnt as easy today as it was 20 years ago to have a multiplatinum-selling album, and as artists, that should challenge and motivate us
There are always going to be those artists who break through on an emotional level and end up in peoples lives forever. The way I see it, fans view music the way they view their relationships. Some music is just for fun, a passing fling . Some songs and albums represent seasons of our lives, like relationships that we hold dear in our memories but had their time and place in the past
However, some artists will be like finding the one. We will cherish every album they put out until they retire and we will play their music for our children and grandchildren. As an artist, this is the dream bond we hope to establish with our fans. I think the future still holds the possibility for this kind of bond, the one my father has with the Beach Boys and the one my mother has with Carly Simon
I think forming a bond with fans in the future will come in the form of constantly providing them with the element of surprise. No, I did not say shock; I said surprise. I believe couples can stay in love for decades if they just continue to surprise each other, so why cant this love affair exist between an artist and their fans?
In the YouTube generation we live in, I walked out onstage every night of my stadium tour last year knowing almost every fan had already seen the show online. To continue to show them something they had never seen before, I brought out dozens of special guest performers to sing their hits with me. My generation was raised being able to flip channels if we got bored, and we read the last page of the book when we got impatient. We want to be caught off guard, delighted, left in awe. I hope the next generations artists will continue to think of inventive ways of keeping their audiences on their toes, as challenging as that might be
There are a few things I have witnessed becoming obsolete in the past few years, the first being autographs. I havent been asked for an autograph since the invention of the iPhone with a front-facing camera. The only memento kids these days want is a selfie. Its part of the new currency, which seems to be how many followers you have on Instagram.
Fan Power
A friend of mine, who is an actress, told me that when the casting for her recent movie came down to two actresses, the casting director chose the actress with more Twitter followers. I see this becoming a trend in the music industry. For me, this dates back to 2005 when I walked into my first record-label meetings, explaining to them that I had been communicating directly with my fans on this new site called Myspace. In the future, artists will get record deals because they have fans—not the other way around
Another theme I see fading into the gray is genre distinction. These days, nothing great you hear on the radio seems to come from just one musical influence. The wild, unpredictable fun in making music today is that anything goes. Pop sounds like hip hop; country sounds like rock; rock sounds like soul; and folk sounds like country—and to me, thats incredible progress. I want to make music that reflects all of my influences, and I think that in the coming decades the idea of genres will become less of a career-defining path and more of an organizational tool
This moment in music is so exciting because the creative avenues an artist can explore are limitless. In this moment in music, stepping out of your comfort zone is rewarded, and sonic evolution is not only accepted…it is celebrated. The only real risk is being too afraid to take a risk at all
Celebrity Spotlight
I predict that some things will never change. There will always be an increasing fixation on the private lives of musicians, especially the younger ones. Artists who were at their commercial peak in the 70s, 80s and 90s tell me, It was never this crazy for us back then! And I suspect Ill be saying that same thing to younger artists someday . There continues to be a bad girl vs. good girl/clean-cut vs. sexy debate, and for as long as those labels exist, I just hope there will be contenders on both sides. Everyone needs someone to relate to
And as for me? Ill just be sitting back and growing old, watching all of this happen or not happen, all the while trying to maintain a life rooted in this same optimism
And Id also like a nice garden |
Here we go again
I kinda wanna be more than friends
So take it easy on me
Im afraid youre never satisfied
Here we go again
Were sick like animals
We play pretend
So take it easy
And Im afraid I wont get out alive
No, I wont sleep tonight
Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waiting for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
Neon Trees!
Here we are again
I feel the chemicals kickin in
Its getting heavy
And I wanna run and hide
I wanna run and hide
I do it every time
Youre killin me now
And I wont be denied by you
The animal inside of you
Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waiting for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight
Hush, hush the world is quiet
Hush, hush we both cant fight it
Its us that made this mess
Why cant you understand?
Well, I wont sleep tonight
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting
Say goodbye to my heart tonight |
I got a lying smile I never put out for you
Cause I guess I never felt like I really needed to
And they say little girls have big dreams
And nothing in the world was gonna come between me and you
And it was a long time coming
I waited half my life just to find someone like you
I spent a long time finding out love hangs around after you walk out
Not knowing itd be a long time going
They say its better to have lost than never to have loved at all
And I say, whoever said that didnt have too far to fall
And they say little girls are so naive
That wasnt how it was supposed to be with me and you
And it was a long time coming
I waited half my life just to find someone like you
I spend a long time finding out love hangs around after you walk out
Not knowing it will be a long time going
Ive burned my bridges, had sleepless nights
Washed my sins on the neon lights
And Im still not over you
And it was a long time coming
I waited half my life just to find someone like you
I spend a long time finding out love hangs around after you walk out
Not knowing it will be a long time going
A long time going
And it will be a long time, long time going
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
It will be a long time, long time going, going
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh |
Its 2 am, in your car
Windows down, past my street, memories start
Say its in the past
You drive straight ahead
Thinking that I hate you now
But you still dont know what I never said
I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did
I wish that you knew that
Ill never forget you as long as I live
I wish you were right here, right now
Its all good
I wish you would
Its 2 am, in my room
Headlights pass the window pane
And I think of you
Were crooked love
In a straight line down
Makes you wanna run and hide
Makes you wanna turn right back around
I wish you would come back
Never hung up the phone like I did
I wish that you knew that
Ill never forget you as long as I live
I wish you were right here, right now
Its all good
I wish you would
I wish we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for
I wish that you knew that
I miss you too much to be mad anymore
I wish you were right here, right now
Its all good
I wish you would
You always knew how to push my buttons
You gave me everything and nothing
This mad love makes you come running
Stand back where you stood
I wish you would, I wish you would
Its 2 am, here we are
See your face, hear my voice in the dark
Were a crooked love
In a straight line down
Makes you wanna run, makes you wanna hide
Makes you wanna turn right back around
I wish you would come back
Never hung up the phone like I did
I wish that you knew that
Ill never forget you as long as I live
I wish you were right here, right now
Its all good
I wish you would
I wish you would come back
Never hung up the phone like I did
I wish that you knew that
Ill never forget you as long as I live
I wish you were right here, right now
Its all good
I wish you would
I wish you would
I wish you would
I wish we could go back
And know what we were fighting for
I wish that you knew that
I miss you too much to be mad anymore
I wish you were right here, right now
Its all good
I wish you would |
Something about me didnt fit into your perfect world
I bet the bluegrass stained your smile
You should use a darker color when you write on the wall
I havent read it a thousand times
Maybe if you saw me for a second you would realize
Honey I was trying so hard
To talk, walk, think, stop
Anytime you want me to
Bend all my rules
I used to let you choose
Who you wanted me to be
This time Im flying free
Its my turn to be me
You liked the face but you had to replace me
Inside I saw the walls of me go down
You can take the girl away from
Cowboy hats and steel guitars
Shell still sing the same old songs
Maybe if you saw me for a second you would realize
Honey I was trying so hard
To talk, walk, think, stop
Anytime you want me to
Bend all my rules
I used to let you choose
Who you wanted me to be
This time Im flying free
Its my turn to be me
Turned on that radio
Hey thats when I realized
It wasnt our song, it was yours
And in conversation baby I was decoration
Now I deserve a little bit more than
To talk, walk, think, stop
Anytime you want me to
Bend all my rules
I used to let you choose
Who you wanted me to be
This time Im flying free
Its my turn to be me |
I know weve got a lot to say
Between now and forever
But Id be a game if you would play
And my dear you get better
All throughout the day
You smile and walk away
All I can think to do
Is follow you
If you leave Ill be crawling back for more
If you need love Ill be standing at your door
Ill be sick inside if baby youd be my cure
Wherever you think I am tonight
Just know were miles from a heartbreak
Because in the blink of a pretty brown eye
Ill be right where you are baby
Sometime along the way you take my breath away
Distracted by he view
I fall right into you
And if you ever leave Ill be crawling back for more
And if you ever need love Ill be standing at your door
Ill be sick inside if baby you would be my cure
They say I need to see all the people out there waiting
But you take one look at me
And I know the mistake Id be making
Becasue if you ever leave Ill be crawling back for more
And if you ever need love Im standing at your door
Ill be sick inside if baby you be my cure
I know weve got a lot to say between now and forever |
The way you look, the way you laugh
The way you love with all you have
There aren’t nothing about you that dont 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
Its a perfect passion and I cant get enough
The way you look, the way you laugh
The way you love with all you have
There aren’t nothing about you that dont do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry
The way you move when you walk by
Theres aren’t nothing about you
That dont do something for me
Whoa
In my life Ive been hammered by some heavy blows
That never knocked me off my feet
All you got to do is smile at me and down I go
And baby its 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 aren’t nothing about you that dont do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry
The way you move when you walk by
Theres aren’t nothing about you
That dont 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 aren’t nothing about you that dont do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry
The way you move when you walk by
Theres aren’t nothing about you
That dont 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
By now I think you see that
There aren’t nothing about you that dont do something for me |
Someone struck a match against the night
All I could see was you and I
I was captivated
A perfect little dream inside my head
And then reality crept in, and erased it
For a while I thought that I could hold you
But you were just a temporary high
Firefly you drew me to you
Your beauty shines and lights up the sky
And you dont know it, do you?
I wish I could keep you firefly
Firefly
Something so beautiful and free
Was as never meant to be caged in
I thought I had you in my hand
I tried to catch you, but I cant
Chase the wind
And just as I reach out to touch you
I remind myself you were meant to fly
Firefly you drew me to you
Your beauty shines and lights up the sky
And you dont know it, do you?
I wish I could keep you firefly
Firefly
I like to think Id be all that you wanted
Not even that is enough
Firefly you drew me to you
Your beauty shines and lights up the sky
And you dont know it, do you?
I wish I could keep you firefly
Firefly |
Theres a little girl in this little town
With a little too much heart to go around
Live forever, never say never
You could do better, thats what she says
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite
Of the fact that shes different
And yet shes the same
And she says, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Lucky you, lucky you
She sings her little song, she walks along
A little pathway headed for the skies
Left to travels, lives they unravel
Mind over matter, thats what she says
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite
Of the fact that shes different
And yet shes the same
And she says, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Lucky you, lucky you
Maybe shell sing you do-do-do-do
Maybe shell bring you into the skies
Honey shell love you, funny how some view
Angels above you arent so far away
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite
Of the fact that shes different
And yet shes the same
And she says, lucky you, lucky you |
I need you more than I know how to mention
And Id give forever to get your attention
Be youre summer midnight with starry blue eyes
That only see you and are yours every night
Ooh, ooh, loves like this
Its something I missed
Ooh, ooh, loves like this
And that small town daydream
Lasted all night
Cause tonight all those bright city lights
Just look at you look at me
Heaven looked down to see
Were falling now
And theres nothing we aint too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love
All of the days that I couldnt get it right
It all disappeared lying here by your side
With your dirty blue jeans and my crooked smile
You make it look easy changing my life
Ooh, ooh, loves like this
Its something I missed
Ooh, ooh, loves like this
And that small town daydream
Lasted all night
Cause tonight all those bright city lights
Just look at you look at me
Heaven looked down to see
Were falling now
And theres nothing we aint too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love
Heaven had quite the time
To figure this life out
But baby Ive got mine
To give you everything you dream about
Ooh, ooh, loves like this
Its something I missed
Ooh, ooh, loves like this
And that small town daydream
Lasted all night
Cause tonight all those bright city lights
Just look at you look at me
Heaven looked down to see
Were falling now
And theres nothing we aint too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love
And that small town daydream
Lasted all night
Cause tonight all those bright city lights
Just look at you look at me
Heaven looked down to see
Were falling now
And theres nothing we aint too sure of
Just two kids making up for lost love |
Looking at it now
All seemed so simple
We were lying on the couch
I remember
You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered
The rest of the world was black and white
We were in screaming color
I remember thinkin
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good
Lookin at it now
Last December
We were built to fall apart
Then fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldnt forget, when we decided
To move the furniture just so we could dance
Like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good
I remember when you hit the brakes too soon
20 stitches in the hospital room
When you started cryin, baby I did too
When the sun came up, I was lookin at you
Remember when we couldnt take the heat
I walked out and said I was settin you free
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
And when the sun came up, you were lookin at me
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good. |
What a thing to see
What a thing to be
What a perfect love, what a perfect home
Cause every time she walks
And every time she talks
Is every time he knows what a perfect world hes living on
But whenever hes gone and when shes all alone
His heart goes out to her on the telephone
And he says, Sugar, how I love you
How I think about you all the time
He calls her Sugar cause shes the sweetest thing
Oh, shes the best thing hell ever find
With her midnight hair
And with his favorite stare
Shes a southern belle, hes a rockout king
When she looks around
Oh, she knows shes found
Such a perfect life, such a perfect thing
And whenever hes gone and when shes all alone
His heart goes out to her on the telephone
And he says, Sugar, how I love you
How I think about you all the time
He calls her Sugar cause shes the sweetest thing
Oh, shes the best thing hell ever find
Oh, theres a reason for every season
Theres a change within the range of every heart
But the reason and the season
Seem to be right so far
And he says, Sugar, how I love you
How I think about you all the time
He calls her Sugar cause shes the sweetest thing
Oh, shes the best thing hell ever find
He calls her Sugar |
I think of you every single evening
As I lay awake at night
I try to think; try to walk away with you...me in
And I say
Honey baby dont do anything crazy around us
Say that everything will be fine!
Oh, honey baby, oh
How can you blame me
When I say I wanna make you mine?
Cause everybody else in the world is driving me crazy
Except you, honey baby!
Oh!
Flying high, I can see his smiling
As we walk down by the drives
Take my hand, take my breath away
Cause you make me feel like flying!
Honey baby dont do anything crazy around us
Say that everything will be fine!
Oh, honey baby, oh
How can you blame me
When I say I wanna make you mine?
Cause everybody else in the world is driving me crazy
Except you, honey baby!
Oh, you are everything Ill ever need
Oh, you are everything I wanna be!
Drive me crazy, have me baby
All I really wanna say is
Honey baby dont do anything crazy around us
Say that everything will be fine!
Oh, honey baby, oh
How can you blame me
When I say I wanna make you mine?
Cause everybody else in the world is driving me crazy
Except you, honey baby! |
Theres a plane or a bus leaving Dallas
I hope youre on it
If theres a train moving fast down the tracks
I hope you caught it
Cause I swear out there aint where
You outta be
So catch a ride or catch a cab
Dont you know that I miss you bad
But dont you walk to me
Baby run cut a path across the blue sky
Straight in a straight line
You cant get here fast enough
Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run
So baby run
Oh if you aint got a suitcase
Get a box
Or an old brown paper sack
Pack it light or pack it heavy
Take a truck, take a Chevy
Baby just come back
Theres a shortcut to the highway out of town
Why dont you take it
Dont let that speed limit slow you down
Go on and break it
Baby break it
Baby run
Cut a path across the blue sky
Straight in a straight line
You cant get here fast enough
Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run
Run to me
Baby run
Run to me
So baby run
Run
Oh baby run |
Im 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 wouldve 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
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneakin in
As if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
And there was one prize Id cheat to win
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats 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 Ill meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open-shut case
I guess I shouldve 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
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man |

Here you are now
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were
Stripped to the bone
I thought youd want to know
That when you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
Ill never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
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 wont go again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
Ill never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Im so glad to see you smiling
So good to hear your laugh
I think that youve found you even
Missed yourself
Im only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, youll never go again
Again, again
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
Ill never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless
When you feel the world is crashing
Come running into my arms |
Time is passing slowly for the eight year old next door
But mamas watch is ticking off the wall
Jillian and Bobby think that theyre a perfect pair
But girls could say hes just a bit too tall
You dont have to do to win big
You just have to think it
Some folks say the glass is half full
Others choose to drink it
Some say the grass could be greener
And the other side aint far away
But I say the old could be newer
And love still counts when it doesnt stay
Some say I love you
Some say love needs proof
Its all in your point of view
He hated pink so she threw out her favorite clothes
His NFL was turned to TLC
Babys got an attitude and thinks they just dont know
But they all do and wish that she could see
You dont have to do to win big
You just have to think it
Some folks say the glass is half full
Others choose to drink it
Some say the grass could be greener
And the other side aint far away
But I say the old could be newer
And love still counts when it doesnt stay
Some say I love you
Some say love needs proof
Its all in your point of view
In the least or masterpiece
Depends on ones opinion
Worst of all they never call
But dont think that they werent wishing
Some say the grass could be greener
And the other side aint far away
But I say the old could be newer
And love still counts when it doesnt stay
Some say I love you
Some say love needs proof
Its all in your point of view
Its all in your point of view
Point of view
Its all in your point of view |
Clear blue water, high tide 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, 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 back from the dead
And these hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
Tossing, turning, struggled through the night with someone new
And I can go on and on, on and on, and I will
Lantern burning, flickering in my mind for only you
But you were still gone, gone
Been losin grip, these sinking ships
Its like you showed up just in time
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is back from the dead
And these hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
I kiss your cheek, I watched you leave
Your smile, my ghost, I fell to my knees
When youre young, you run
When youre young, you run
When youre young, you run
But you come back to what you need
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is back from the dead
And these hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
This love came back to me |
One daybreak, one heartache
Every once-upon-a-time
That black dress, happiness
Bubble baths and quarter lines
They mean so much to everyone
But you count them up one by one
Clear midnights and this spotlight
Once thinking that your dad was ten feet tall
A blue bonnet, a braid on it
Quiet winters and leaves that always fall
Your black boots, my red flower ring
Live for the little things
Oil paintings and making
Every detail turn out bad
One last stands, new romance
Living for that love and person
They mean so much to everyone
But you count them up one by one
Clear midnights and this spotlight
Once thinking that your dad was ten feet tall
A blue bonnet, a braid on it
Quiet winters and leaves that always fall
Your black boots, my red flower ring
Live for the little things
Ohh, yeah
Ohh
No fighting, black riding
Wish upon a star and give the moon a smile
Pretending, defending
Take a risk and go along for the ride
Strawberries and fairies with wings
Live for the little things
Na na na...
Oh, yeah
Na na na...
Ohh, yeah
Na na na... |

Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh
Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh
We are never, ever, ever getting back together
We are never, ever, ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together
Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh
Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh
Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh
Ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh—ooh
Oh, and heres to my real friends
Oh, and heres to my baby
They didnt care about the he-said-she-said
We are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together
It was so nice throwing big parties
Jump into 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 whyd you have to rain on my parade?
Im shaking my head and locking the gates
This is why we cant have nice things, darling
Because you break them
I had to take them away
This is why we cant have nice things, honey
Did you think I wouldnt hear all the things you said about me?
This is why we cant have nice things
It was so nice being friends again
There I was, giving you a second chance
But then you stabbed in the back while shaking my hand
And therein lies the issue
Friends dont try to trick you
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
And so I took an axe to a mended fence
But Im not the only friend youve lost lately
If only you werent so shady
Heres a toast to my real friends
They dont care about the he-said-she-said
And heres to my baby
He aint reading what they call me lately
And heres to my momma
Had to listen to all this drama
And heres to you
Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
Haha, I cant even say it with a straight face
This is why we cant have nice things, darling
Because you break them
I had to take them away
This is why we cant have nice things, honey
Did you think I wouldnt hear all the things you said about me?
This is why we cant have nice things, darling
Because you break them
I had to take them away
This is why we cant have nice things, darling
Did you think I wouldnt hear all the things you said about me?
This is why we cant have nice things |
I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
Youre the magicians assistant in their dreams
Oh, and they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when youre singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat because
Youre gonna sing the words wrong
Theres this movie that I think youll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboys running from himself
And shes been living on the highest shelf
Oh, and they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when youre singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat because
Youre gonna sing the words wrong
I just wanna, I just wanna know
If youre gonna, if youre gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I cant have it, I cant have it any other way
I swear shes destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that youve ever seen, oh
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when youre singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat because
Youre gonna sing the words wrong
Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when youre singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat because
Youre gonna sing the words wrong
Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when youre singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat because
Youre gonna sing the words wrong
I got a lump in my throat because youre gonna sing the words wrong |

You walk in here with your guitar man
Your shining boots and your full on band
A smile on your face, a knife in your hand
Singing songs youve got memorized
With whatever talent money buys
So polished that it slips right through your hands
But dont ruin yourself I aren’t your competition
Dont flatter yourself that was never my intention
I want to talk about what you are that I aren’t
Lets talk about what you do that I cant
Lets talk about me and you and that empty room and who wins
Lets talk about what you did to get here
Lets talk about blood and sweat and tears
Lets talk about what you want to be and who Ive always been
I walk in here with a beat up case
The same guitar Ive always played
And the words I wrote down on a page
When I was 12 years old a small town raised
You tell the crowd youre paying dues
I tell them, this is what I do
And it’s what I put my life into
As I breathe the smoke and cheap perfume
And say life on musical road is rough conditions
But the easy ride was never my ambition
I want to talk about what you are that I aren’t
Lets talk about what you do that I cant
Lets talk about me and you and that empty room and who wins
Lets talk about what you did to get here
Lets talk about blood and sweat and tears
Lets talk about what you want to be and who Ive always been
Lets talk about your childhood days
You were the prom queen, I was on this stage
So wheres that crown gotten you these days?
When its me and you and the same damn games
So what have you got that I aint?
And what can you do that I cant?
Lets put me and you in an empty room and see who wins
Lets talk about what you did to get here
Lets talk about blood and sweat and tears
Lets talk about what you want to be, girl, and who Ive always been |
Come on, gather round, Im gonna tell you how the fire went out
Sorry for the inconvenience, I didnt mean to let you down
We were supposed to be forever but its too bad you didnt see that to me
You were the perfect view of misery
I never talked about the tears I cried
All the sleepless nights or the endless fights
I never talked about the days he called
There was something wrong, it was all my fault
I had it all, what a shame, what a fall now
But in case you havent heard the news
There wasnt much love to lose
Lets talk about that golden boy that I met on a winter night
How was I supposed to know that he was just as cold inside?
He smiled and I smiled, well the cameras in your mind
And I lied, I swore that everything was fine
I never talked about the tears I cried
All the sleepless nights or the endless fights
I never talked about the nights he called
There was something wrong, it was all my fault
I had it all, what a shame, what a fall now
But in case you havent heard the news
There wasnt much love to lose
I know you wanna talk about me
How I gave up on love so foolishly
But keep in mind
I never talked about the tears I cried
All the sleepless nights or the endless fights
I never talked about the nights he called
There was something wrong, it was all my fault
I had it all, what a shame, what a fall now
But in case you havent heard the news
There wasnt much love to lose
Come on, gather round, Im gonna tell you how the fire went out |
Did you have to do this?
I was thinking that you could be trusted
Did you have to ruin what was shiny?
Now its all rusted
Did you have to hit me where Im weak?
Baby, I couldnt breathe
And rub it in so deep
Salt in the wound like youre laughing right at me
Its so sad to
Think about the good times
You and I
Cause baby, now weve got bad blood
You know we used to have mad love
So take a look at what youve done
Cause baby, now weve got bad blood
Now weve got problems
I dont think we can solve em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now weve got bad blood
Did you think wed be fine?
Got scars on my back from your knife
Dont think its in the past
These kind of wounds, they always last
Did you think it all through?
All these things will catch up to you
Time can heal, but this wont
So if youre coming my way
Just dont
Its so sad to
Think about the good times
You and I
Cause baby, now weve got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look at what youve done
Cause baby, now weve got bad blood
And now weve got problems
And I dont think we can solve em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now weve got bad blood
Band-aids dont fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
You live like that, you live with ghosts
If you love like that, your blood runs cold
And baby, now weve got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look at what youve done
Cause baby, now weve got bad blood
Now weve got problems
And I dont think we can solve em
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now weve got bad blood, hey |
I stay up too late
Got nothing in my brain
And thats what people say
Thats what people say
I go on too many dates
But I cant make them stay
At least thats what people say
Thats what people say
But I keep cruising
Cant stop, wont stop moving
Its like I got this music
In my mind, saying its gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby Im just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, shake it off
Heart break is gonna break, break, break, break, break
And I think its gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby Im just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
I never miss a beat
Im lighting up my feet
And thats what they dont see
Thats what they dont see
Im dancing on my own
I make the moves as I go
Thats what they dont know
Thats what they dont know
But I keep cruising
Cant stop, wont stop grooving
Its like I got this music
In my mind, saying its gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby Im just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off
Heart break is gonna break, break, break, break, break
And I think its gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby Im just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
Shake it off, Shake it off
Shake it off, Shake it off
Shake it off, Shake it off
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 in the world
You could have been getting down to this sick beat
My ex boy brought his new girlfriend
Shes like oh my god
But Im just gonna shake
And to the fella over there with the really good hair
Wont you get on over baby we could shake, shake, shake
Yeah
Players gonna play, play, play, play, play
Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Im just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
Heart break is gonna break, break, break, break, break
Think its gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Im just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, Shake it off
Shake it off, Shake it off
Shake it off, Shake it off
Shake it off, Shake it off
Shake it off, Shake it off |
Throwing pennies at the fountain
When youre standing on a mountain
Its kind of hard to aim
Like the tree we carved our names in
There must be an explanation
Guess it didnt get enough rain
I need reasons why youre leaving
Well I guess I wished on a plane
I thought it was a star
I guess what you wrote on paper
Wasnt written on your heart
Couldve sworn you said you loved me
I guess I heard you wrong
And I guess I wished on a plane
That I thought was a star
Diving off into the deep end
Honestly believed youd be there
When I jumped in
Guess it aint your territory
We had the perfect love story
Except the ending
Nothing comes true
When it comes to you, oh
Well I guess I wished on a plane
I thought it was a star
I guess what you wrote on paper
Wasnt written in your heart
Couldve sworn you said you loved me
I guess I heard you wrong
And I guess I wished on a plane
That I thought was a star
The night was so cloudy
Its not my fault
I just couldnt see
And I guess I wished on a plane
I thought it was a star
Guess what you wrote on paper
Wasnt written in your heart
Couldve sworn you said you loved me
I guess I heard you wrong
And I guess I wished on a plane
That I thought was a star
Throwing pennies at the fountain
When youre standing on a mountain
Its kind of hard to aim |
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 aint for the best
My reputations never been worse, so
You must like me for me
Yeah, I want you
We cant make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Third floor on the West Side, me and you
Handsome, youre 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 dont wanna share
Cause I like you
This aint for the best
My reputations never been worse, so
You must like me for me
Yeah, I want you
We cant make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Sometimes I wonder when you sleep
Are you ever dreaming of me?
Sometimes when I look into your eyes
I pretend youre mine, all the damn time
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that youre in my head?
Cause I know that its delicate
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
Cause I know that its delicate |
You look at me
I fake a smile so you wont see
That I want and Im needing
Everything that we should be
Ill bet shes beautiful, that girl ya talk about
And shes got everything that I have to live without
You talk to me
I laugh cause its so damn funny
But I cant even see
Anyone when youre with me
You say youre so in love, you finally got it right
I wonder if you know youre all I think about at night
Youre the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
Youre the song in the car
I keep singing, dont know why I do...
You walk by me
Cant you tell that I cant breathe?
And there you go, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
Shed better hold ya tight, give you all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know shes lucky cause
Youre the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
Youre the song in the car
I keep singing, dont know why I do...
Youre the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who’s got enough of me to break my heart
Youre the song in the car
I keep singing, dont know why I do...
Youre the time taken up, but theres never enough
And youre all that I need to fall into
You look at me
I fake a smile so you wont see |
We could leave the Christmas lights up til January
And this is our place, we make the rules
And theres 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, ah
Take me out, and take me home
Youre my, my, my, my lover
We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
And Im highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
Ive 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, ah
Take me out, and take me home
Youre 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 hearts been borrowed and yours has been blue
Alls well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And youll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, Ill save you a seat, lover
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever, ah
Take me out, and take me home
Youre my, my, my, my
Oh, youre my, my, my, my
Darling, youre my, my, my, my lover |
Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldnt help thinking 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
And if she had to die trying
She had one little promise she was going to keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well, 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 crashing on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, its so painful
Its something thats so close but 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 |
Im 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 wouldve 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
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneakin in
As if you were a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
And there was one prize Id cheat to win
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats 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 Ill meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open-shut case
I guess I shouldve 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
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
Hey, thats my man
Thats my man
Yeah, thats my man
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
Thats my man
Hey, thats my man
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man |
Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping youd call
Its just a cruel existence like theres no point hoping at all
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
What is happening to me?
I dont wanna live forever, cause I know Ill be living in vain
And I dont wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
Im sitting eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind
Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
I gave you something, but you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?
I dont wanna live forever , cause I know Ill be living in vain
And I dont wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
Ive been looking sad in all the nicest places
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
I see you around in all these empty faces
Up all night, all night and every day
Ive been looking sad in all the nicest places
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
Now Im in a cab, I tell em where your place is
What is happening to me?
I dont wanna live forever, cause I know Ill be living in vain
And I dont wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
Until you come back home |
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 find 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 |
On a crowded highway
Through a night alone
I was barely breathing
I was crawling home
Well, its quite not London
Or the south of France
Or an Asian Island
Or a second chance
Going back to Nashville
Thinking bout the whole thing
Guess you gotta run sometimes
Maybe Im a fast train
Blowin through a valley
Watching all my life go by
Youre a distant memory
Youre an exit sign
I was talking crazy
On the drivers side
And I know I hurt you
But I cant confess
Was that blood or a wine stain
On your wedding dress
Going back to Nashville
Thinking bout the whole thing
Guess you gotta run sometimes
Maybe Im a fast train
Blowin through a valley
Watching all my life go by
Going back to Nashville
Laughing at a bad break
Whats the use of wondering why?
Maybe Im a storm front
Blowing through a valley
Tearing up a good July
And its safe and warm
Where nothing ever happens
Could it be so hard
To realign a star or two
Change a southern night for you
Going back to Nashville
Thinking bout the whole thing
Guess you gotta run sometimes
Maybe Im a fast train
Blowin through a valley
Watching all my life go by
Going back to Nashville
Laughing at a bad break
Whats the use of wondering why?
Maybe Im a storm front
Blowing through a valley
Tearing up a good July
Going back to Nashville
Im going back to Nashville
Going back to Naaaaahh....
Going back to Nashville
Whats the use of wondering why? |
Am I more than you bargained for yet?
Ive been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause thats just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
Im just a notch in your bedpost, but youre just a line in a song
Drop a heart, break a name
Were always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team
Were going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, were going down swinging
Ill be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
Were going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, were going down swinging
Ill be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
Fall Out Boys from Chicago!
Is this more than you bargained for yet?
Oh, dont mind me, Im watching you here from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isnt it messed up how Im just dying to be him?
Im just a notch in your bedpost, but youre just a line in a song
Drop a heart, break a name
Were always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team
Were going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, were going down swinging
Ill be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
Were going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, were going down swinging
Ill be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it |
Like one of those fireflies
Oh, it looks so good till its in your hand
Its like one of those memories
Where you cant let go but you just cant stand
Its like one of those crazy dreams
And the permanent screens in the magazines
Saying, Whyd I love?
All it does is break your heart
One morning does it all add up?
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy?
Youre getting close to giving up
In a big old way, knocks you down to the other side every time
Love or lie, live or die
I, well, I guess thats life
Like one of those people
With the beautiful eyes and the perfect face
Its like one of those stories
Where the hero dies in the very last race
Like one of those endless cries
And the crazy lies of a hurting child
Saying, Why did love have to hurt?
It broke my heart
One morning does it all add up?
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy?
Youre getting close to giving up
In a big old way, knocks you down to the other side every time
Love or lie, live or die
I, well, I guess thats life
I always liked to think
That I was always brave enough
To try to master any push and shove
Well I guess I never qualified love
One morning does it all add up?
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy?
Youre getting close to giving up
In a big old way, knocks you down to the other side every time
Love or lie, live or die
I, well, I guess thats life
Oh, I guess thats life
Well, I guess thats life |
I like my music loud
I like my windows down
So I can scream
I like my trucks a little
Bigger than the rest
So I can see
Don’t try me
Don’t fight me
You be you and I’ll be me
They say I’ve always known
What I wanted
My friends and enemies
Will tell you it’s true
You will find out
I always get it
I know what I want
And it ain’t you
Your mom and daddy’s walls
Are covered up in pictures of you
You never met a mirror
That you didnt look again into
So sorry, don’t worry
I’m sure there are so many girls
Who love you like you do
They say I’ve always known
What I wanted
My friends and enemies
Will tell you it’s true
You will find out
I always get it
I know what I want
And it ain’t you
Oh baby, don’t persuade me
I know that you ain’t used to no
So let me say it real slow
They say I’ve always known
What I wanted
My friends and enemies
Will tell you it’s true
You will find out
I always get it
I know what I want
And it ain’t you
They say I’ve always known
What I wanted
My friends and enemies
Will tell you it’s true
You will find out
I always get it
I know what I want
And it ain’t you |
Isnt it funny how many times we can say
Weve drawn the line, crossed it out, turned the page
And moved on
Thats what we thought
But here I am in the same old car
Having myself another same old brown-eyed thought
Uh oh, uh oh
I wont tell nobody
I wont tell my friends
Well just drive down this road til the one were on ends
And well tell each other things like I need you
You and me
Baby this is what we do
I finally see
There are people you just come back to
So fall back on me
Ill fall back on you
We always let someone come in between
Talk around the truth and never say what we mean
Look at all this wasted time
You wont tell nobody
I wont tell my friends
Well just drive down this road and pray it doesnt end
And well tell each other things like I love you
You and me
Baby this is what we do
I finally see
There are people that you come back to
So fall back on me
Ill fall back on you
Maybe well last
Maybe we wont
Maybe well stop talking and Ill haunt you like a ghost
But just maybe, you belong with me
You and me
Baby this is what we do
I finally see
There are people that you come back to
So fall back on me
Baby, Ill fall back on you
Fall back on me
Baby, baby, Ill fall back on you
Fall back on you, ooh, ooh
Fall back on you |
... I used to fly
Didnt matter where Id been
Cause Id seen the sky
I wanna tell you why
But somehow I know I
Would break down and cry
I know you cant see me here
But I am not alone
Im lying here in invisible arms
And I wont be alone tonight
You... you know I would die
Before I let them see me
See me cry
Please dont leave tonight
Oh let me down slowly
Show me a light
I know you cant see me here
But I am not alone
Im lying here in invisible arms
And I wont be alone tonight
Oh let me think Im strong
Please dont bring me down
I need you tonight
I know you cant see me here
But I am not alone
Im lying here in invisible arms
And I wont be alone tonight
I... I used to fly
Didnt matter where Id been
Cause Id seen the sky |
It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes, uh uh, uh uh
It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers, uh uh, uh uh
Yeah
Were happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time
Its miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonights the night when we forget about the deadlines
Its time, uh uh
I dont know about you, but Im feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you
You dont know about me, but I bet you wanted to
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like were 22
22
It seems like one of those nights
This place is too crowded, too many cool kids, uh uh, uh uh
It seems like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming
Instead of sleeping
Yeah
Were happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way
Its miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonights the night when we forget about
The heartbreaks, its time
Oh oh
I dont know about you, but Im feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you
You dont know about me, but I bet you wanted to
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like were 22
22
I dont know about you
22, 22
It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We wont be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news, I gotta have you
I gotta have you
I dont know about you, but Im feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you
You dont know about me, but I bet you wanted to
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like were 22
22
Dancing like 22, yeah, 22, yeah yeah
It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We wont be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news, I gotta have you
I gotta have you |
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 |
Are you trying to make me fall?
Cause with a face like that, baby
It wont take too long
Keep on melting me with those eyes
And I think in a while Ill be hypnotized
Sitting here singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, come a little closer
Oh, oh, I love you I love you
And Im down to my last breath
Trying to get my heels back under my head
Baby somewhere around the time
The moment I saw you
With your hair all sticking up
I was all caught up
Cause baby you were so damn cute
I need you to need me
See the train is coming for me
Help me, save me from this crash at last
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, come a little closer
Oh, oh, I love you I love you
And Im down to my last breath
Trying to get my heels back under my head
Na na na na na na na na na na na
You seem to be just what Ive tried to find
And your name looks so good written next to mine
Next to mine
Next to mine
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you I love you
Ooh, ooh I really really want you
Oh, oh I love you I love you
Oh, oh.. |
I don’t need a lot
But theres one thing
Love has taught me
It’s to never expect too much
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 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
Think of a quiet beach
Think of how the waves crash down
Think about a summer’s eve
No offense to them but they aint got nothing on you
Walking with you
In the light or in the dark
Well 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
I look outside the window
Everyday see something new
But all I ever wanted was a
Window looking at you, 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
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 |
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
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
Youve got that long hair slick 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
Midnight, you come and pick me up, no headlights
Long drive, could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view, oh
Its been a while since I have even heard from you
And I should just tell you to leave cause I
Know exactly where it leads but I
Watch it go round and round each time
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
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
Youve got that long hair slick 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
Let me hear you please make some noise for my band
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Im standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
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
Begging you, please, dont go
Give it up for my guitarist LA!
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting, all thats left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
Its a love story, baby just say yes
Oh, oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me, Ive been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I dont know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
Marry me, Juliet, youll never have to be alone
I love you and thats all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
Its a love story, baby just say yes
Oh, I remember you drivin to my house in the middle of the night
Im the one who makes you laugh
When you know youre about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong
I think I know its with me
Cant you see that Im the one who understands you
Been here all along so why cant you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time
How could you not know
Baby you belong with me
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me |
Theres a girl that you want
She’s everything that I am not
And you cant stop thinking about her
Theres a thin little line
And it’s like you cross it every time
When you cant stop thinking about her |
Theres somethin bout the way
The street looks when its just rained
Theres a glow off the pavement
Walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Were drivin down the road
I wonder if you know
Im tryin so hard not to get caught up now
But youre just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absentmindedly makin me want you
And I dont know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst
Fearless
And I dont know why when with you Id dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless
Hey, hey, hey
So baby drive slow
Til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now, capture it, remember it
Cause I dont know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst
Fearless
And I dont know why but with you Id dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless
But I wont hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, Im yours
Hey, hey, hey
Cause I dont know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst
Fearless
And I dont know why but with you Id dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless |
Walked into a chair leg
As I was thinking bout you
Your face jumped right in my way
As things lately do
Oh baby cant you see
The thought of you makes a mess of me
Walked into a chair leg
As I was thinking bout you
And Now I
Cant walk straight
Cant talk straight
Cant think about anything but the way
It should be
It could be
And till you come round again Ill be
Doin what I usually do
Thinkin Bout you
Oh, ah
I get lost when I drive around town
Thinkin bout your smile
Always ending up
Your side of town
And I dont know why
Must be somethin under this hood
Nobodys strong like you
Walked into a chair leg
As I was thinking bout you
Cant walk straight
Cant talk straight
Cant think about anything but the way
It should be
It could be
And till you come round again Ill be
Doin what I usually do
Thinkin Bout you
Your eyes are the color of
The great big sea
The one I go swimmin in
Every time you look at me
Cant walk straight
Cant talk straight
Cant think about anything but the way
It should be
It could be
And till you come round again Ill be
Doin what I usually do
Thinkin Bout you
Walked into a chair leg
As I was thinking bout you |
