1.Intro
I can feel it…the dawning of a different day.
I can feel it…like the quiet of a morning wake.
I can feel it…yea, it pays to keep a little faith.
Oh, oh, oh, I can feel it now.
I can feel it now.
2.Who Are You
Forgive me if I come across a bit bolder,
But I don't think that I could take it any longer.
There's a lot
Of big talk,
But I ain't seen enough walk.
Now I can understand you're out on your hustle,
But we all tryin' to make it in the same struggle.
Let's make a deal,
Keep it real.
Holla if you feel.
(Chorus)
Someone tell me
Why do we
Consume ourselves with where we need to be？
On your marks, set,
Tryin' to get ahead.
We all want our names heard but can't recall who we just met.
Can't remember your name,
Ain't that a crying shame,
Can't remember your name,
Oh, what a shame.
Who,
Who,
Who, who, who are you？
Fighting for this love is making me a monster.
Tryin' to keep my sanity with every empty offer.
What happened to
The value
Of what's real and what's true？
Hype yourself up, or else you get caught up
In the shuffle.
Paying dues up don't always make the cut
Unless you got a shovel.
Chasing fame,
Dropping names,
What a tainted game.
(Repeat Chorus)
Can't remember your name,
Ain't that a crying shame,
Can't remember your name,
Oh, what a shame.
Who,
Who,
Who, who, who are you？
Can't remember your name,
Ain't that a crying shame,
Can't remember your name,
Oh, what a shame.
Who,
Who,
Who, who, who are you？
3.From the Get Go
You say honey,
Sweet baby,
You got it down like a bad girl hittin' the floor.
You say honey,
Lovely lady,
Oh you make it sound like you done this here before.
Well I gotta gotta admit, I was a little bit curious.
My premonition proved that what you do is serious and,
(Chorus)
I knew it from the get go,
I knew it from the get go,
Even though you was on the low,
I wouldn't've called you an angel, no,
I knew it from the get go.
Well you keep jasmine
In your Lincoln,
Now that alone is enough to sniff you out.
You don't bother asking,
What I'm thinking, no
Now that alone is enough to talk about.
Well I gotta gotta admit, I was a little bit curious.
My premonition proved that what you do is serious and,
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
You slipped up, got caught,
You told lies, we fought,
But it's not your fault
'Cause I peppered my own salt.
You slipped up, got caught,
You told lies, we fought,
But it's not your fault
'Cause I peppered my own salt.
(Repeat Chorus)
4.Daydreaming
All the best memories,
All the gifts life can bring,
Like what it feels to be in love
Like what it feels to be in lo-o-o-o-oove
Picturing you and me
Hopping aboard to a tropic retreat
Baby that sounds good to me
Baby that sounds good to me
What good is this bliss if it doesn't exist,
Who knows？
But every now and then I get
CHORUS
Stuck inside,
Stuck inside my head,
Hoping worlds collide
Like summer's sweetest blend.
Daydreaming,
Ain't nothing but daydreaming
Simple peace in your eyes
A bird in open skies
Forever could this feeling stay？
And once again I slip away
What good is this bliss if it doesn't exist,
Who knows？
But every now and then I get
Stuck inside,
Stuck inside my head,
Hoping worlds collide
Like summer's sweetest blend.
Daydreaming,
Ain't nothing but daydreaming
Every now and then I get stuck inside my head with you
Every now and then I get stuck inside my head with you
(repeat)
Every now and then I get stuck
Dreaming of you, nothing but you
Chorus X 2
Whoaa, ain't nothing but,
Ain't nothing but daydreaming.
I'm in my head like oooh, yeah
5.Gonna Fall in Love
(Chorus)
I,
I'm gonna fall in love with you,
I,
I'm gonna make you want me too.
Three o' clock on the boardwalk,
Everybody's out early for the weekend, mmm hmm.
With my girls when I saw those curls
And knew I had to keep you from leaving.
And I'll make you feel,
I'll make you feel something good.
And I'll make you think,
I'll make you think that you should.
(Repeat Chorus)
Go on and watch me now,
Go on and watch me now,
You and your friends, you were making bends
But it wasn't that inconspicuous.
So I took your hand and we danced to the band
Playing afro beats out on the terrace.
And I'll make you feel,
I'll make you feel something good.
And baby, I'll make you think,
I'll make you think that you should,
And you should.
Cause I,
I'm gonna fall in love with you,
And baby know that I,
I'm gonna make you want me too,
I,
I'm gonna fall in love with you,
I,
I'm gonna make you want me too,
Go on and watch me now,
If you ain't ready now,
You better, you better dodge me now,
Give it up, give it up, give it up now,
Cause I ain't gon' leave you alone,
I ain't gon' leave you alone,
I ain't gon' leave you alone,
I ain't gon' leave you alone,
Said I, said I ain't gonna do it baby,
Said I ain't gonna do it sugar,
Said I ain't gonna do it honey,
Said I ain't gonna do it, do it, do it, do it, do it baby
Oh, Ooh, Whoa
6.Going Back
You can't always get it right,
With even the best advice,
Sometimes you gotta find out for yourself.
My failure to recognize
What now seems so black and white
Is blamed on an anxious heart I know well.
I had never been so confused,
Feeling loved, then feeling used,
It was never right enough before it was wrong,
And asking questions deep down I knew
Date nights ending in sour feuds,
What took me so long？
And somewhere I lost it,
Lost sight of me,
This ain't who I am or who I wanna be.
(Chorus)
I'm going back to where I started,
Back to when innocence was open hearted and,
I'll love again, I'll love smarter,
But I'm gonna love the next one,
I'm gonna love the next one harder.
Oh those stains in my memory,
How he frayed my sanity,
Nights driving home on a lonely road.
Listening to blue melodies,
With every word, crumbling,
Quickly losing strength to bear the load.
And somewhere I lost it,
Lost sight of me,
No this ain't who I am or who I wanna be.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
Ooooh, now I know the places I won't go,
Never will I see them again,
I am coming home,
I am coming home.
(Repeat Chorus)
Took me a while to really see
That ain't how it's supposed to be
I couldn't give you up
You wouldn't give enough
Asking questions deep down I knew
Date nights ending in feuds
Coming where I'm from
And the person I'd become
Two different faces fighting for a place
What was it to ya？
Breakin my heart
And watch me try to pick up every part
7.Live On
There was a time you used to call my name,
There was a time you'd follow through.
Now you're in a different place, oh something's changed.
And I am a different person too.
(Chorus)
So we
Live on, live on,
With fewer words to say,
We live on, live on,
And let the memories fade,
We live on, live on,
But please tell me why someday,
Why we live on, live on
This way.
I had my fingers crossed you'd come around,
And we'd write more stories to be told.
We'd go back to those days when we were bound,
It's sad to say you never showed, no,
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
Well I hope you love,
And I hope you laugh,
Do what makes you happy,
And makes you glad,
Hope you find what you're looking for, that golden place,
No I'm not trying to dwell,
I'm not trying to preach,
But you know what really gets to me,
Is years from now I'll still be wondering, why...
(Repeat Chorus)
Why we live on, live on
Why we live on, live on,
Why we live on, live on
This way,
This way,
This way,
This way.
8.Heartless Queen Tess Henley
Lady gets her own way,
No matter what they try to say to her,
'You gonna get yours one day,
Yours is a favor that will be returned'
Long red nails, ready to claw,
Tight black skirt when she is on the job,
No boundaries for this love outlaw,
A ring just means another heart to rob.
(Chorus)
She's got her spades, clubs,
Cause she'll go down fighting,
And her diamonds,
Cause that's what keeps her smiling,
But there's one thing,
That leaves her incomplete,
She's a heartless, heartless, y'all
Heartless queen
Girl can blend in any line,
That don't mean she came to lose,
Not the last of human kind, but
Owns the world in those Jimmy Choos.
An all too common creature,
Daddy was a preacher,
Frontin' on your man when you're around,
Smiling when she greets ya,
'How very nice to meet ya,'
While she thinks of ways to steal your crown.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
When she comes home,
There's no one to call her own,
Just dirty sheets from moments too cheap,
Lying alone in her bed,
The thoughts in her head,
Will they ever cause her to lose sleep？
Hey,
Oh, no, do do do do do do,
Oh no no no, do do do do do do do,
Oh, no, do do do do do do,
Oh, no, do do do do do do do,
Oh no no no, do do do do do do do,
Oh, no, do do do do do do,
Heartless queen.
9.Something to Say
Slow it down for a minute,
You gotta start 'fore you finish,
And it's a long, long road for you.
Now I ain't got hard feelings,
But I'ma walk away and leave it,
And leave the trouble for somebody new.
Oh but,
You got the style,
You got the smile,
You got the lips,
And you got the kiss,
But there's a lot you got that I won't miss.
(Chorus)
I hope that this don't bug ya,
But babe you know that I can't love ya,
When it's always, always got to be your way.
I can't seem to trust ya,
Boy, you won't even to listen to your mother,
And you always, always got something to say.
Everybody's got their reasons,
And everybody's got their demons,
But baby, I got my wants and needs,
Now why you wanna push my buttons,
Instead why don't you whisper sweet nothin's,
I tell you I'd be a whole lot easier to please.
Oh but,
You got the style,
You got the smile,
You got them lips,
And baby you got that kiss,
But there's a lot you got that I won't miss
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
You always gotta have one more word, babe.
You had your turn, and now it's mine.
Not one more word, not one more line.
No, no baby, not this time, ooh
(Repeat Chorus)
Hey, I said you always,
You always got something to say.
10.Above
I've had some time to think
And at this point it seems,
I could let it all get to me.
I could be bored and blue,
Waiting for something new,
Wondering what am I gonna do？
On the other hand,
I could find a place to land
And put my toes in the sand.
There's a master plan.
Sometimes the blind man can see better than we can.
(Chorus)
I don't wanna live my life in a rush,
Waiting for the day to be done.
I'm not gonna be frustrated uh uh,
'Cause I ain't got nobody to love.
And I don't need to buy no material stuff,
'Cause everything I need, I got, and that is enough.
And even when the world seems cold and rough,
I understand what matters most and I rise above, above, above
I'm gonna let life be,
Savor beauty,
Like the morning glory.
Like timeless tunes that stay,
The early dew in May,
I'm on a natural high night or day.
Don't make sense to me,
Why you look farsightedly.
I've got to disagree,
'Cause before you know, so fast the years did go.
I'm here to tell you so
(Chorus)
I don't wanna live my life in a rush,
Waiting for the day to be done.
I'm not gonna be frustrated uh uh,
'Cause I ain't got nobody to love.
And I don't need to buy no material stuff,
'Cause everything I need, I got, and that is enough.
And even when the world seems cold and rough,
I understand what matters most and I rise above
I rise above,
Everything I need I got and that is enough,
I rise above, la da da, da da da ooh
Ohhhh
11.Vultures
Why,
Put up a fight,
When nothing that I say will ever matter？
I tried,
To be polite,
But that just got me nowhere.
Everything I say gets pushed aside,
How do you think you have the right
To tell me what to wear？
Say that I don't see the other side,
Is that what makes you justified,
Well I just don't care,
I just don't care.
(Chorus)
Free me from these vultures,
They're feeding off my soul,
It's just a matter of time,
Before they realize,
Free me from these vultures,
They're feeding off my soul,
It's just a matter of time,
Before they realize I'm not dying,
I'm not dying.
Leave,
You're too hard to read
And I ain't gonna bother.
I'll take the lead,
You take your greed,
'Cause for me it ain't just about the dollar.
Something tells me eventually,
I ain't gonna have to worry
About this steady fight.
Maybe it'll be the death of me,
Maybe I'm writing my own tragedy,
But I won't compromise,
I won't compromise.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
I'd love to talk,
But got a ringing in my ears.
I'd love to talk,
But don't have time for smoke and mirrors.
I'd love to talk,
But maybe in a couple years,
Maybe not…
(Chorus)
Free me from these vultures,
They're feeding off my soul,
It's just a matter of time, it's just a matter of time
Free me from these vultures,
They're feeding off my soul,
It's just a matter of time,
Before they realize I'm not dying,
I'm not dying,
Before they realize I'm not dying,
I'm not dying,
Before they realize I'm not dying.
12.Part of My Dance
I stepped out into the street,
And my feet slipped out from under me.
I thought that it was a dream,
So I took a deep breath and counted to three.
City dirt is all over me,
I tore a hole in my brand new jeans,
So I went ahead and ripped the right knee,
And I strutted my stuff,
And rocked them things like that's how they were meant to be.
(Chorus)
I,
I might trip and stumble but,
That ain't gonna keep me from,
Keep me from getting up
I,
I might lose my stance
but that's my chance,
To make it part, part of my dance
Part of my dance, dance, dance
I kept a move past Pier 62,
You were the only one in my view,
On the dock everyday with your crew,
Oooh, you're the finest thing I ever knew.
I saw you look and my heart almost flew.
You waved and smiled, and I waved back at you.
Then the corner barista girl, she waved too,
So I ran my fingers through my hair,
And I played it cool
(Chorus)
I,
I might trip and stumble but,
That ain't gonna keep me from,
Keep me from getting up
I,
I might lose my stance
but that's my chance,
To make it part,
(Bridge)
And I know,
No one wants to make mistakes
And some of us can't seem to get it right.
But I know,
We all gonna have our days
And if it isn't mine I'll still be looking for that light
(I'll still be looking for that light if I don't get it right)
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh you gotta make it part,
Part of my dance,
Hoo, that's what I say hey,
I'm gonna make it,
yeah yeah yeah,
To make it part, part of my dance
13.You Are the One
Running 'round in a glass ball,
I can see everything, I can see it all.
And every open door is either too small,
Or it leads me in to hit a wall,
And oh my head is spinning,
Is anybody listening？
Living light just to get by,
And Lord knows I'm trying to live right.
Following my heart and feeling outta my mind
Ain't no easy way to keep a high.
And though my head is spinning,
I know somebody's listening…
(Chorus)
You give me hope for the future, ooh ooh ooh,
You are the one,
And when the odds turn against me,
To you, I've already won.
You are my light in the darkness, ooh ooh ooh,
You are the one,
You show me my place in the sun.
You've always been the heart in me,
You've always been part of the dream.
And to see it any differently,
Well, all the triumphs wouldn't mean a thing.
And when my head is spinning,
You're always there to listen.
(Repeat Chorus)
14.I'd Do Anything (A Song for Carly)
I'll never understand some things in life,
Why loyal souls are lost under heaven's watchful eye.
I got the who, what, where, and when, but I wanna know why
Such a shining light can vanish out of sight.
I'll never understand why you cried,
And you just couldn't see the truth, oh how I tried,
To make you see the girl standing by my side,
And I'd do anything to make you realize.
(Chorus)
Take you round the world on a butterfly,
Paint your name across the sky,
Color the ocean gold into a velvet tide,
Cause I'd do anything to make you change your mind.
And I'll never understand the loneliness held within,
I was always there, that's how it's always been.
You opened up to me, I let you in
If that was all it took, I'd do it over and over again.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
Tell me what I gotta do,
I said anything, it's true…
Ohhhh
Take you round the world on a butterfly,
Paint your name across the sky,
Color the ocean gold into a velvet tide,
Cause I'd do anything,
I'd do anything, I'd do anything,
I'd do anything, anything to make you change your mind.
