Friday, November 5, 2010


Lyrics of the songs

Something Bout Love
Wasting time, just going mindless
Watching your charades
When you were younger, did it occur to you
10 years from then, you’d act the same age

I cannot carry on this way
Although I’ve carried all your every little thing
Carry me away

Did you feel like stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It’s bad business
The way you’re stomping the roses

I was flipping channels on my television
And it made me feel unwell
One of those complicated soap operas
I almost felt like I was watching myself

I cannot carry on this way
Although I’ve carried all your every little thing
Carry me away

Did you feel like stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It’s bad business
The way you’re stomping the roses
Everyone knows it

I know I know I know I know it’s over
And I know I know I know I’ve
Always been your token nice guy
I know that you rule your whole world
Thought I could live in it
But I just can’t

You know you’re stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It’s bad business
The way you’re stomping the roses
Everyone knows it

Stomping the roses
Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
It’s bad business
The way you’re stomping the roses

Stomping, Stomping Yeah
Take it easy, yeah

The Other Side Of Down
Down (Down), Down (Down), Down (Down), Down (Down)

Here I am with all these questions hanging from my ceiling low
And one by one they all keep telling me I told you so
Everywhere I turn I see red lights flashing over my head
Oh no, oh no, oh no

In a whirl-wind spinning yeah somehow it knocked me off my feet
But I know better than to let it get the best of me,
I could give up, I could stay stuck, I could move on

So I put one foot front of the other,
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting
Until I make it to the other side of down

In the sky I'm standing under, all I see is endless rain
I think I spot a silver lining hiding in the gray
I might get tossed around, but I'm always bouncing back
oh oh oh oh

I could give up, I could stay stuck, I could move on

So I put one foot front of the other,
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting
Until I make it to the other side of down

On the other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be
On The other side of down
It keeps calling me
where I wanna be
where I wanna be

So I put one foot front of the other,
No no no nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting
Until I make it to the other side of down

Something 'Bout Love
Every night it’s all the same
You’re frozen by the phone
You wait, something’s changed
You blame yourself every day
You’d do it again
Every night

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees
There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love

When you were young
Scared of the night
Waiting for love to come along
And make it right
Your day will come, the past is gone
So take your time
And live and let live

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees
There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart

Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love

Don’t fight
Don’t hide
Those stars in your eyes (in your eyes)
Let em’ shine tonight
Let em’ shine tonight

Hang on
Hang in
For the ride of your life
It’s gonna be alright
Hold on tight

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees (to your knees)
There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love

Whoa oh oh oh..
Set’s you free
There’s something bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain

My Kind Of Perfect
I was thinkin' about ya
I drew a little picture
But some things you can't put on paper
Like ya like shooting stars
Or write songs on guitar
Got more things to do than stare at a mirror

And I know I know,
She's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know, she's gotta be

Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right
Maybe I'll just let you walk by
What can I say, maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner, see my future
In a beautiful face
Maybe

She's anything but typical
A sweet suprise
No matter what she's looking at the brightside
It's gonna be worth it
Cos that's what love it's
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect!

And I know, I know, she's gotta be out there, out there
I know I know, she's gotta be.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right, maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say, maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner, see my future, in a beautiful face
Maybe

They say, give it time, give it time and it will fall in line
But I keep wondering how and when and why I haven't met you...

But maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right

Ooohhhhh
Is she the one is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future, in a beautiful face

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner, see my future
In a beautiful face
Maybe ohh maybe yeah

I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect.

Falling Stars
When you forget me
When you don’t remember my name
Not even a memory
Somewhere in the back of your brain
I won’t be offended
‘Cause I always knew that the day
Would come when I’m not enough to make you stay
You tell me it’s not possible, no way that we could break
But nothing is illogical, believe me

Like falling stars over your head
We were bound to burn out, burn like crashing cars
I’ll never get over you, never over you
‘Cause you are so beautiful, yeah

The world is turning
And time keeps on lingering on
The sun will be burning
Eventually you will be gone

I’ll always love you
Oh, believe it or not
Baby, that’s not enough to
Not enough to stop these…

Falling stars over your head
We were bound to burn out, burn like crashing cars
I’ll never get over you, never over you
‘Cause you are so beautiful, yeah

When it’s all said and done
I’ll be just a speck in the galaxy
Floating far far away by gravity
You tell me it’s not possible
No way that we could break

Like falling stars
Like crashing cars
Like falling stars over your head
We were bound to burn out just like crashing cars
I’ll never get over you, never over you
‘Cause you are so beautiful
You are so beautiful, yeah

Complain
Mmmmm Yeyeayeaaa

V1:

How many times have we said
If I just had one more
Dollar in my pocket
Know that I've felt the same

V2:

How many times have you dreamed
That you could pack up and leave
Just run away from your troubles
Baby, I can't complain

Chorus:

Cause I don't always get everything I want
It doesn't turn out just the way I thought it all should be
Baby I can't complain
No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
Nooooo way, baby I can't complain
No waaayyyy, no waaayyyyyy
No waaaayy
Baby, I can't complain

V3:

Have you ever believed that it's just not your day
Like the world is against you
Know we've all felt that way
So far away from my home
And everyhing that I love
But as long as I'm breathing
Baby, I can't complain

Chorus:

Cause I don't always get everything I want
It doesn't turn out just the way I thought it all should be
Baby I can't complain
No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
Nooooo way, baby I can't complain
No waaayyyy, no waaayyyyyy
No waaaayy
Baby I can't complain
No waaayyyy, no waaayyyyyy
No waaaayy

Bridge:

Everytime, any minute now we could fall it could all crash down but I'm not Gonna live that way
No way
No way

Cause I don't always get everything I want
It doesn't turn out just the way I thought it all should be
Baby I can't complain
No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
Nooooo way, baby I can't complain
No waaayyyy, no waaayyyyyy
No waaaayy
Baby I can't complain
No waaayyyy, no waaayyyyyy
No waaaayy
Baby I can't complain

Elevator
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I had a dream last night
I didn't know which floor to get off on. Hey-yay.
The doors they opened on, 4 and 5 and 6
And you were gone, all gone.
I didn't want to know, I didn't understand
At least I took a chance
I had to let it go.

Elevator goes up
Elevator comes down
And you just go with the flow
'Til your feet are back on the ground.
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes awhile
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive.
You gotta get back that high.

And in my dream last night
The doors they finally shut
And I was there, somewhere
Alone in my reality
Inside an empty box
That's filled with air
But I don't care, noooo.
Next time I'll get it right
Next time I'll be OK
I'll have a different dream tonight
Tomorrow's another day.

Elevator goes up
Elevator comes down
And you just go with the flow
'Til your feet are back on the ground.
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes awhile
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive,
You gotta get back that high.

You'll never know what you're gonna get
What you don't expect
Can come and find you.
If you laugh or cry, you run and hide
But it's all right.

Elevator goes up
Elevator comes down
And you just go with the flow
'Til your feet are back on the ground.
It's an endless ride
Sometimes it takes awhile
Sometimes it tears you down inside
But it's the butterflies
That keep you feeling so alive, so alive.

You gotta get back that high.
High-i-i-i-i-i, High-i-i-i-i-i, High-i-i-i-i-i
So alive, so alive
You gotta get back that High-i yeah

Good Place
I don't know what I'm doing here
How I landed in this space
But it's a good place
And I don't wanna mess it up
Make mistakes or say too much
'Cause it's a good place

You find it
You hold it
You feel it's grace

These are words
I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words
That say how good it feels to be here with you today
I hope it's not too late
I hope it's not too late
I hope it's not too late

I've been silent up till now
I've been going with the flow
Wherever that goes
But somethings screaming out inside
Makes me want to close my eyes
And hear the echo

You find it
You know it
Don't make it wait

These are words
I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words
That say how good it feels to be here with you today
I hope it's not too late

Cause I don't wanna waste another summer (mmm)
I don't wanna wait until I fall
I could be a memory tomorrow
I could be nothing at all, yeah

I don't know what I'm doing here
How I landed in this space
But it's a good place

These are words
I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words
That say how good it feels to be here with you today
I hope it's not too late
Oh Yeah, I hope it's not too late

Look Around
Keep on running and you'll never get to feel the moment
It's like you're sleeping 'cos you don't think the time to take it in
Like a trainwreck, you're on a mission
Tunnel vision got you blinded
Better slow down before you lose ground
It will happen anyway
Paint it over if your world is grey

When you close your eyes to see the view
You'll miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around

Shut the window tight but it's raining on the inside
Do you realize you're getting nowhere
That it's all laid out for you
Cut the ribbon if it starts to fray

When you close your eyes to see the view
You'll miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around

You found a loop hole that you fell in
Now you're treading water
You gotta see the hand for it pull you out

When you close your eyes to see the view
You'll miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Look around, look around
Look around

The Day After Tomorrow
Street lights turning on just like the sun,
No shadows trying to knock me down tonight.
My walk is like a run to you.
Windows like a broken crystal ball,
Show me the missing pieces of my life.
And now I want them all with you.

Breathing faster I count the hours 'til the day after tomorrow.
I can hardly wait, it's getting closer now, closer now.
The day after tomorrow, it's getting closer now, closer now.
Oh my walk is like a run to you.

(Whoa) This story can't be fictional.
This chapter's only got two pages left, and I'll rewrite it all with you.

Breathing faster I count the hours 'til the day after tomorrow.
I can hardly wait, it's getting closer now, closer now.
The day after tomorrow, it's getting closer now, closer now.
Oh my walk is like a run to you.

I'm wide awake, suddenly, I know the way and I can feel it now.
'Cause I was lost, the past forgotten, I can't go back to yesterday.

The day after tomorrow, I can hardly wait, it's getting closer now, closer now.
The day after tomorrow, it's getting closer now, closer now.
Oh my walk is like a run.

The day after tomorrow, I can hardly wait, it's getting closer now, closer now.
The day after tomorrow, it's getting closer now, closer now.
Oh my walk is like a run to you.

Parachutes And Airplanes
There's something crazy about this day
Like I'm walking on a trampoline
I couldn't get much higher

So if I asked you, would you stay?
Cause you remind me of a ballerina dancing on a wire
And I don't ever wanna say goodbye
I just wanna steal this moment right away from time

[Chorus:]
What do you say when you cant come down?
When you feel like you're 10 feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge?
Now you're here and you've got me thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about parachutes and airplanes
Never hit the ground.. ground ground ground

The world's a thousand shades of blue
Like we're here in our kaleidoscope
Don't want it to be over
Like everything that's in my mind
It's here right in front of lights
You're the one who got me here

Cause I don't ever wanna say goodbye
I just wanna steal this moment right away from time

[Chorus:]
What do you say when you cant come down
When you feel like you're 10 feet off the ground
what do you d when you're on the edge
Pow you're here and you've got me thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about parachutes and airplanes
That never hit the ground

When it's shard sometimes
I just need a place to get away
Turn the world around
I'll never calm me down
Cause I don't ever wanna hit
Don't wanna hit the ground

Ground ground ground ground
Ground ground ground ground

[Chorus:]
What do you say when you cant come down
When you feel like you're 10 feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge?
Now you're here and you've got me thinking about
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about parachutes and airplanes

What do you say when you cant come down
When you feel like you're 10 feet off the ground
What do you do when you're on the edge?
Now you're here, and you've got me thinking 'bout
Parachutes and airplanes
Thinking about parachutes and airplanes
That never hit the ground.. ground ground ground

Never hit the ground.. ground ground ground

Things Are Gonna Get Better
Yeah, yeah. Mmm hmm.
Everybody's got a time in their life
When everything hurts and nothing's right.
But you gotta walk on, yeah you gotta walk on.

Everybody's got a piece of their heart
That's been stepped on and torn apart.
But you gotta be strong, yeah you gotta walk on.

Cause I, know, it's hard to have the strength and,
Sometimes, all you feel is pain, but,
Things keep floating by on that river in the night.

But I know things are gonna get better,
And I know things are gonna be fine.
And I know Life is gonna get better,
Life is gonna get better, yeah we're gonna be fine.

Everybody's got that one regret, no matter how they try, they can't forget.
But you gotta move on, yeah you gotta move on.
And everybody's got someone they've lost,
And they can't believe they're really gone.
But you gotta live on, yeah you gotta live on.

Cause I, know, it's hard to have the strength and,
Sometimes, all you feel is pain, but,

Things keep floating by on that river in the night.

But I know things are gonna get better,
And I know things are gonna be fine.
And I know Life is gonna get better,
Life is gonna get better, yeah we're gonna be fine.

And I know there's hope.
I see it in your eyes.
So take me, touch me.
Cause with a little bit of love, we can win the fight.
With a little bit of love we can see the light.
With a little bit of love it'll be alright.

I know things are gonna get better,
And I know things are gonna be fine.
And I know Life is gonna get better,
Life is gonna get better, yeah we're gonna be fine.

Walk, walk, walk the line and,
keep, keep, keep walking on.
Keep, keep, keep walking on.

Who I Am
Been two hours in a taxi cab,
I'm just driving around and I'm running a tab,
But it doesn't really matter no, I'm not getting mad,
It's ok, 'cause I know where I'm going,

Out the window, everybody's on the phone,
At the lights are on, and they're all in the zone,
Gotta take a step back from my new ringtone,
I don't care if your friends there is calling, (ca-ca-calling)

Days like these,
It's hard to breathe.
I'm gonna take this moment that I'm in right now,
Stop the craziness somehow.
Leave it all behind me,
I know it's gonna find me.
I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose,
just trying to walk in my own two shoes,

I'm gonna take the time now,
It's time for me to find out
Who I am

oh oh, oh oh
Who I am

Windshield's like a movie screen,
And the world outside is a big machine,
And it moves so fast I can barely think,
That's ok, 'cause I know what I'm doing,

Days like these,
It's hard to breathe.
I'm gonna take this moment that I'm in right now,
Stop the craziness somehow.
Leave it all behind me,
I know it's gonna find me.
I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose,
just trying to walk in my own two shoes,

Gonna take the time now,
It's time for me to find out
Who I am

oh oh, oh oh
oh oh,

Sometimes,
You just know,
When to hold on, when to let go

Gonna take this moment that I'm in right now,
Stop the craziness somehow.
Leave it all behind me,
I know it's gonna find me.
I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose,
just trying to walk in my own two shoes,

Gonna take the time now,
It's time for me to find out
Who I am

I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose,
just trying to walk in my own two shoes,

Gonna take the time now,
It's time for me to find out
Who I am

oh oh, oh oh,
oh oh, oh oh,
oh oh, oh oh,
oh oh, who I am.




**enjoy! It took me an hour to get all the lyrics.. :)
