Song Lyrics

[Enigma]

Goodnight and Go
- Imogen Heap

Skipping beats, blushing cheeks I am struggling
Daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner cafe
And then i'm left in bits recovering tectonic tremblings
You get me every time

Why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

Follow you home, you've got your headphones on and you're dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot you taking everything off watch the curtains wide open
Then you fall in the same routine flicking through the TV relaxed and reclining
And you think you're alone...

One of these days, you'll miss your train and come stay with me
We'll have drinks and talk about things, any excuse to stay awake with you
You'll sleep here, i'll sleep there, but then the heating may be down again
at my convenience
we'd be good, we'd be great together.

Say goodnight and go,
why's it always always
goodnight and go
Darling not again
Goodnight and go

Loose Ends
- Imogen Heap

Doing everything by halves… got a real flare with excuses.
Meeting someone at the bar… where loose ends still have uses.

It's complicated… this time, I think it could be.
Triangulated, it could be just what we need...
So what you say: we give it up and walk away?
We're overrated, anyway.

We're kissing without kissing… got it down to a fine art.
Love's supposed to keep you young and frisky; we grew up and wide apart.
Not now, not ever, no… it's never a good time.
How will the good times ever roll along?
Comparing photos that are no longer there.
Just wondering…wondering…where it all went.

It's complicated… this time, I think it could be.
Triangulated, it could be just what we need...
So what you say: we give it up and walk away?
Nothing to salvage, anyway.

Oh, oh, oh none of the above…
Oh, oh, oh none of the above…
Oh, oh, oh none of the above…
Oh, oh, oh…

It's complicated… this time, I think it could be.
Triangulated, it could be just what we need...
So what you say: we give it up and walk away?
We're overrated, anyway.

It's complicated… this time, I think it could be.
Triangulated, it could be just what we need...
So what you say: we give it up and walk away?
Nothing to salvage, anyway.

God Bless the USA
by: Lee Greenwood
If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars
to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away.

I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas
from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.,
There's pride in every American heart
and it's time we stand and say:

I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

Keane
Everybody's Changing

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Collective Soul
Better Now

Oh I'm newly calibrated
All shiny and clean
I'm your recent adaptation
Time to redefine me

Let the word out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now
Break the news out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now

Oh I'm happy as Christmas
All wrapped to be seen
I'm your recent acquisition
Time to celebrate me

Let the word out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now
Break the news out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now

The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking me down

The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking me down

Sooner or Later

Pull the hair back from your eyes
Let the people see your pretty face
Try not to say anything weird

Save your questions without answers
'Til your old enough to know that things ain't as they appeared

Before you go out in the sun
Cover your skin and don't get burned
Beware the cancer, it might kill you when you're old

Be first in line, raise your hand
Remember everything you hear
And playing in the rain is worth catching cold

Sooner or later
We'll be lookin' back on everything
And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening
And someday you might listen to what people have to say
Now you learn the hard way

We only want what's best for you
That's why we tell you what to do
And nevermind if nothing makes sense

'Cause it all works out in the end
You're just like us without a friend
But you can build a privacy fence (Yeah)

Sooner or later
We'll be lookin' back on everything
And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening
And someday you might listen to what people have to say
Now you learn the hard way

Somethings you have to learn them all on your own
You can't rely on anybody else
Or the point of view of a source unknown
If it feels good and sounds nice
Then it's your choice don't doubt yourself
Don't even think twice

Pull the hair back from your eyes
Let the people see your pretty face
You know they like it when you smile (Find a reason to smile)

Try not to focus on yourself
Share that love with someone else
Don't let the bitters bring you down (Down)
Don't let anything bring you down

Michael Tolcher
No One Above

I'm gonna let you in
With some poetry we begin
Get loose while the record spins
I could be your new best friend
And then even more
We could click
No games, no lies, no tricks
No problems we can't fix
For love
Or just for kicks

I like the way you touch me in places
I heat up
My heart races
Deeper I'm falling in love

I go crazy
'Cause you want me
No questions
I whisper a secret confession
Miss you
There's no one above
No one above

Whatever it takes
I bend the rule book 'till it breaks
I'll be a true love
No mistakes
I'll be with you
As long as it makes sense
With patieince
I know
My way your wind will blow
Two heart beats and one glow
Ready, set, go

I like the way you touch me in places
I heat up
My heart races
Deeper I'm falling in love

I go crazy
'Cause you want me
No questions
I whisper a secret confession
Miss you
There's no one above
No one above

Come on
Take a chance
Feel free to let your spirit dance
Spark, flame, fire, and romance
It's a brand new circumstance
To enhance
Who you are
No bruise, no cuts, no scars
It's painless
No broken heart
Baby, trust me

I like the way you touch me in places
I heat up
My heart races
Deeper I'm falling in love

I go crazy
'Cause you want me
No questions
I whisper a secret confession
Miss you
There's no one above
No one above

I like the way you want me
No question
Whisper a secret confession
"It's you"
There's no one above

I like the way you touch me in places
I heat up
My heart races
Deeper I'm falling in love

Coldplay
Speed of Sound

How long before I get in
Before it starts, before I begin
How long before we decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do I go
If you never try, then you never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
If the chance that you get, is the chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I’ll start before I can stop
Before I say thing that I made up

And all that noise, all that sound
And all those pieces, that I have found
And the earth’s gone flying the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds come flying from underground
If you could see it then you’d understand

Ideas that you’ll never find
All the inventors could never design
All the buildings that you put up
Japan and China are all lit up
The first sign that I couldn’t read
All the land that I couldn’t see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me

And all that noise, all that sound
And all those pieces, that I have found
And the earth’s gone flying the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds come flying from underground
If you could see it then you’d understand
If you could see it then you’d understand

All those signs, I knew what they meant
Something you can’t invent
Something else, something sane
Oooh…

And all that noise, all that sound
And all those pieces, that I have found
And the earth’s gone flying the speed of sound
To show how it all began
Birds come flying from underground
If you could see it then you’d understand

Coldplay
X and Y

Trying hard to speak
And fighting with my weak hand
Driven to distraction
So part of the plan

When something is broken
And you try to fix it
Trying to repair it
Any way you can

I dive in at the deep end
You become my best friend
I wanna love you but I don't know if I can

I know something is broken
and I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it anyway I can

Oooohh, oooohh
Oooohh, oooohh

You and me are floating on a tidal wave... together
You and me are drifting into outer space... and singing

Oooohh, oooohh

You and me are floating on a tidal wave... together
You and me are drifting into outer space

You and me are floating on a tidal wave... together
You and me are drifting into outer space... and singing

Oooohh, oooohh
Oooohh, oooohh

Josh Kelly
Only You

I’m feeling it
I got a ton a time
You’re movin your body
I’m reeling in
I gotcha on my line
You won’t swim away this time

Cause you started it
And you seem into it
Don’t you dare act surprised

Cause only you know what is on my mind
I wanna see you
I’m leaving on the lights
Don't go act all sweetness
Cause honey that’s not right
Come on, you know oh oh
What is on my mind

You know the game
Your wearing it
And you make the rules
I’m breaking ‘em
And it’s feeling good
For sure you can't deny

Cause you started it
And you seem into it
Don’t you dare act surprised

Cause only you know what is on my mind
I wanna see you
I’m leaving on the lights
Don't go act all sweetness
Cause honey that’s not right
Come on, you know oh oh

It’s human nature girl
It’s how we turn the world
What better way to know that we're alive

Only you know what is on my mind
I wanna see you
So I’m leaving on the lights
Don't go act all sweetness
Cause honey that’s not right
Come on, you know oh oh

You know what is on my mind
I wanna see you
So I’m leaving on the lights
Don't go act all sweetness
Cause honey that’s not right
Come on, you know oh oh
What is on my mind

Pink Floyd
Comfortably Numb

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Better Than Ezra
A Lifetime


Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.

When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.

And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.

And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime

It felt like a lifetime

And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through

You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up."

And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime

Are you sitting in the lights?
Or combing your hair again,
And talking in rhymes?
Are you sitting in the lights?

When I got home, heard the phone,
Your parents had arrived.
And your dad set his jaw
Your mom just smiled and sighed.

But they left soon
And I went to my room.
Played that disc that you'd given me,
And I shut my eyes
Swear I could hear the sea.

When we were standing
On the hood of your car
Singing out loud when the sun came up.

And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes,
Three and a half minutes,

Felt like a lifetime.

Keith Urban
You'll Think of Me

I woke up early this morning around 4am
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's OK
There's nothing left to say, but

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
So

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
Don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah

And you're gonna think of me
Oh someday baby, someday

Bad Day

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

Pat McGee
Must Have Been Love

Between these walls you will find me
I'll be waiting here for you
Just close your eyes
And I'll be standing
With my hands reached out to you

Don't start to cry
Baby, please don't cry

Must have been love
Could've been fate
Whatever it was it came much too late.

Must have been love
Could've been fate
Whatever it was it came much too late.

To touch your skin
Feel your breath upon me
Fills me up with life
Taste your love
Wash it down with every ounce of warmth inside.

Don't start to cry
Baby dry your eyes

Must have been love
Could've been fate
Whatever it was it came much too late.

My heart bleeds for you
Only for you
Your eyes tell the truth
I'm beggin' you
Don't start to cry.

Must have been love
Could've been fate
Whatever it was it came much too late.

You're touch has me so unover you
If I could just get one night with you
Your eyes tell me that you want me too
Can I come over and stay with you?

Some part of me says
You wanted to stay
The tears you would cry
Some other day
Could have been love
Should have been fate
Whatever it was it came much too late.

This is How a Heart Breaks

Don't you wanna go for a ride
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
Now don't you take it for granted

Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess outta me
It left me caught between
Like an angry dream I was stranded

And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
And I don't know how much more I can take

This is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now you feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks

Don't you wanna go for a ride
Down to the other side
Feels so good you could cry
Now won't you do what I told you
I remember when you used to be shy
Yeah, once we were so fine
You and I why you gotta make it so hard on me

And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake
And I'm running but you're getting away

You're not the best thing that I knew
Never was never cared too much
For all this hanging around
It's just the same thing all the time
Never get what I want
Never get too close to the end of the line
You're just the same thing that I knew back before the time
When I was only for you
