Home - Daughtry

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love remains true
And I don't know why
You always seem to give me another try

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old

Be careful what you wish for,
Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

Are Friends Electric - Moloko

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing
In a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought
I remembered you
So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About our little deals
And Issues
And things that I just don't understand
But I told a white lie that night
I lost my touch at times
I don't think it mean anything to you
So I open the door
It's the friend that I'd left in the hallway
'Please sit down'
A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask
But are friends electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no-one to love
So I found out your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
Still it's time to leave
You see you meant everything to me

If You're Gonna Leave - Emerson Hart

Maybe i'm the joker
Maybe i'm the fool in your eyes
Maybe i'm the weak one
Maybe i'm a lie in disguise
Maybe i'm angry
Cause i'm the one whos always wrong
Maybe i'm not the one whos so strong
But did ya think about it
Did ya pull it in and pull out
Could you live without me
Did you ever really have a doubt
But do you understand it baby
When you say its over its done
Maybe i'm not the one

So If you're gonna leave
Ya you better get going
Cause I ain't wasting no more time
What ya did and what ya didn't
So if you're gonna leave
Ya you better start running
Cause I ain't wasting no more time
What it might have been

We can stand on reason
We can fight about all the things
This isn't for forever
This is more than a wedding ring
But do you understand it baby
When you say its over its done
Maybe i'm not the one
So If you're gonna leave
Ya you better get going
Cause I ain't wasting no more time
What I did and what I didn't
So if you're gonna leave
Ya you better start running
Cause I ain't wasting no more time

Whoa did it happen again
The things that you wanted for being a friend
How did it happen again
Just look onward baby cause some day you might need a friend

So If you're gonna leave
Ya you better get going
Cause I ain't wasting no more time
What we did and what we didn't
So if you're gonna leave
Ya you better start running
Cause I ain't wasting no more time
I ain't wasting no more time
What it might have been

Oh forgive me if I get too shy but

I'm feelin' butterflies

Somethin' bout the look in your eyes
Oooh it just makes me feel so right

[CHORUS]
When my mind's void
You're my joy
You're the dream when I sleep
And hey I'm for ya yeah I adore ya

That I need
And I love how you love me
If I'm made for you
you're made for me
It's too good to be
So tell me what we're gonna do now
Yeah tell me what we're gonna do now
yeah yeah

[VERSE]
Funny how my world keeps spinnin'
sometimes you can be so silly
You know just how to make me laugh
Ooh, your skin is so lovely
It moves me when you touch me
I know that you got my back
It feels so safe when you hold me
It's already like you know me

When my mind's void
You're my joy
You're the dream when I sleep
And hey I'm for ya yeah I adore ya

Don't leave please stay awhile

I don't care how

[Common]
Right now lets stay in the present
Can't worry bout tomorrow cause today is a blessin
The world in a state of aggression
I find calm in you
I see my mom in you
It's like a feelin' in ya stomach
when you want it so bad
If we keep keeping it fresh
it ain't gonna go bad
I've been through the valley of love
Rode through the shores of Cali
just to find peace of mind
Looking to the sky
asking for at least a sign
Beautiful you came at such a decent time
When we combine it's like good food and wine
Flavorful yet refined
You remind me of the divine
So easy
Love can be lost and then found, like Stevie
I just love having you around
you wearing the gown
I'm wearing the crown
pound for pound
we the freshest couple in town

[CHORUS]
When my mind's void
You're my joy
You're my dream
And hey I'm for ya yeah I adore ya
you're everything
And I love how you love me baby
I'm made for you oh
you're made for me

Ooh tell me what we're gonna do
Tell me what we're gonna do
Tell me what we're gonna do
Tell me what we're gonna do

Love Me Like That - Michelle Branch

Well you stole my heart
And I'll get it back.
But look me in the eye, babe.
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.

Well I've walked this world
Five times or more.
And after all this walking, babe
Still got me crawlin' on the floor.
Crawlin' on the floor.

And I know
This world keeps on turning.
Keeps me yearning.

(Chorus)
How can you turn and walk away?
Pretending everything's okay.
How can you turn your back?
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.

Well I thought you listened,
But I'm shattered like broken glass.
Well I thought that we'd be different, babe.
Yeah I thought that we would last.
I thought that we would last.

And I know
This world keeps on spinnin'.
Every minute that you're in it.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Love me or leave me, baby
But don't lead me on.
With lovin' like yours,
Believe me baby,
I'm better off
I'm better off alone.

Well I was your gypsy
Throwin' diamonds at your feet.
Driftin' round you like a satellite
I gave you everything you need.
Everything you need.

And I know
This world keeps on turning.
Keeps me yearning and yearning.

(Chorus)

How could you just break away?
Why can't you find the words to say?
Love is something you work at.
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.

How can you throw us away
Look at what you lost and
Now everything is shades of grey
And now you're pushin' me away
Say all the things you need to say
I thought we were goin' all the way
Play all the games you wanna play
Slowly that we just fade away.

Wedding Day - Rosie Thomas

so much for love,
guess i've been wrong
but it's all right,
'cuz i'm moving on
i've got my car all packed with cassette tapes
and sweaters and loose change and cheap cigarettes
and i'm gonna drive thru the hills with my hand out
the window and sing till i run out of words.
i'm gonna stop at every truck stop,
make small talk with waiters and truck driving men.
i'm gonna fall asleep in the back seat
w/ noone around but me and my friends

it's gonna be so great
it's gonna be just like my wedding day,
yeah yeah,

i've had enough of love,
it feels good to give up
so good to be good to myself
and i'm gonna get on the highway with no destination
and plenty of visions i mind
and i'm gonna drive to the ocean,
go skinny dipping
blow kisses to venus and mars
i'm gonna stop at every bar and flirt the cowboys in front their girlfriends

it's gonna be so great
it's gonna be just like my wedding day,
yeah

so much for love,
i guess i've been wrong
but it's all right cuz i'm moving on
i'm gonna drive over hills, over mountains, and canyons
and boys that keep bringin me down
i'm gonna drive under skyline and sunshine,
drink good wine in vineyards
and get asked to dance
i'm gonna be carefree and let nothing pass me by, never ever ever again
it's gonna be so great
it's gonna be so great
it's gonna be just like my wedding day

It's Not Over - Chris Daughtry

I was blown away
But what could I say
It all seemed to make sence.
Your taking away every thing
And I can't do without.
I try to see the good in life.
The good things in life are hard to find.
We're blowin away, blownin away
Can we make this something good?

Well I'll try to do to it right this time around
It's not over,
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over
But a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killin me
But your the only one
It's not over.

I've taken all I can take
And I cannot wait
We're wastin too much time
Bein strong, holdin on
Can't let it bring us down

My life with you means everything
So I won't give up that easily
Blowin away blowin away
Can make this something good?
Cause it's all misunderstood?

Well I'll try to do to it right this time around
It's not over,
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over
But a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killin me
But your the only one
It's not over.

You can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself
Let it out.

Let's start over
Well try to do to it right this time around
Its not over
But a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killin me
But your the only one
It's not over.

Lets start over
Its not over
This love is killin me
But your the only one
It's not over

Crazy- Nelly Fertado

I remember when.. remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase
Even your emotions had an echo in so much space
When you're out there without care
I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Probably..

And I hope that you're having the time of your life
But think twice
That's my only advice
Come on now
Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are? (huh)
Bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me..

My heroes have the heart to lose their lives out on the limb (yeah)
All I remember.. is thinking I want to be like them (yeah)
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little
They looked like fun
And it's not coincidence I've comeI can die when I'm done

But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably..
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're.. crazy
Probably..

What Goes around comes around _ Justin Timberlake

Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way

Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?

Is this the way things are going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
[ these lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

You should know that
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that

Don't want to think about it (no)
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it (yeah)
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way things are going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
But that's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

[Comes Around interlude:]

Let me paint this picture for you, baby

You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes

You cheated girl
My heart bleeds girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved

And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right

But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
You'll see

(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey

See?
You should've listened to me, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because
(What goes around comes back around)

Throw it all away - Zero 7

Try talking to you
While you do, while you do
I swap places with you
Just to see things through
Just sing me the tune
And you'll see
I'll keep it here for you
I'll wait for your cue

You wrote down all the words
Black and white
On a wall
Just keepin' it so
Yeah you know how it goes
No plans for a change, nothing strange
No not today no way
Now sing me the tune

Cash it in and throw it all away
Never needed any of it anyway

So you twist and you turn
Uncomfortable fool, you'll never learn
But you can take a stand
Forget all about the plans California rose

Side one track two
On a record of you
I've even stuck on a groove
That I don't wanna lose
Just play it again, as a friend
It's your favorite worn-in shoes
Now sing me the tune

Cash it in and throw it all away, yeah
Never needed any of it anyway

So you crash, and you burn
Sometimes the road will twist and turn
Some of this, less of that
Forget all about the map California road

Cash it in and throw it all away
Never needed any of it anyway

Cash it in and throw it all away, yeah
Never needed any of it anyway

Cash it in and throw it all away
Never needed any of it anyway

Cash it in and throw it all away
Never needed any of it anyway

Silent All These Years - Tori Amos

Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know
But nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me
You never shut-up
Yeah I can hear that

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice
And it's been here
Silent All These Years

So you found a girl
Who thinks really deep thougts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best praya that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there's a heaven
Where some screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker
Do you think it's enough
To get us there

Cause what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice
And it's been here
Silent All These...

Years go by
Will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by
If I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds
Raining in head
Years go by
Will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we're too easy Easy Easy

Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now
But baby don't look up
The sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin' at you here
Take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice [x3]

And it's been here
Silent All These Years
I've been here
Silent All These Years
