Give Me That Sunshine
02:51
|
|||
You got a smile so bright I need my shades
Even in a dark room on a cloudy day
You got a look so hot I forgot my name
One look at you and I nearly lost my brain
I’m thinking get in the groove
I think I gotta bust a move
There’s nothing else to do
Make it a party for two
With just me and you
Give me that real good time
Give me that feel good vibe
Give me that blow my mind
Give me that give me that
Give me that sunshine
Give me that feel good vibe
Give me that blow my mind
Give me that give me that give me that
Give me that sunshine
I’m afraid to lose you and you ain’t even mine
Ever since you dove face first into my life
It was Love at first sight, like a bite of dynamite
Fireworks, somersaulting into Butterflies
I’m thinking get in the groove
I think I gotta bust a move
there’s nothing else to do
Make it a party for two
With just me and you
Give me that real good time
Give me that feel good vibe
Give me that blow my mind
Give me that give me that
Give me that sunshine
Give me that feel good vibe
Give me that blow my mind
Give me that give me that give me that
Give me that sunshine
Give me that real good time
Give me that feel good vibe
Give me that blow my mind
Give me that give me that
Give me that sunshine
Give me that feel good vibe
Give me that blow my mind
Give me that give me that give me that
Give me that sunshine
Give me that feel good vibe
Give me that blow my mind
Give me that give me that
Give me that sunshine
Give me that feel good vibe
Give me that blow my mind
Give me that give me that give me that
Give me that sunshine

Waiting For My Moment
03:32
|
|||
In the morning when I wake up
I check the mirror and I head out
Ready to sell
for this cartel
I can’t afford it when I check my pay stub
Seven cents on the dime
I guess I fell
From this carousel
Did they find me out
Did they find out I’m a fake
Did they find me out
Did they find out
Did they find
I’m just waiting
For my moment
I’m just waiting
For right door to open
I got the message that we’re headed for a break up
I check the mirror and I see
I guess I got my wish
For a little competition
I got the method but I haven’t got the function
I check the mirror and I see that
It’s official
It’s all just superficial
Did they find me out
Did they find out I’m a fake
Did they find me out
Did they find out
Did they find
I’m just waiting
For my moment
I’m just waiting
For right door to open
I’m just waiting
For my moment
I’m just waiting
For right door to open
I keep on running
I keep on running faster
I keep on running till I get up to the baseline
I keep on running
I keep on running faster
I keep on running till I get up to the place
Where I’m waiting
For my moment
I’m just waiting
For right door to open
I’m just waiting
For my moment
I’m just waiting
For right door to open

03:19
|

You tell your secrets to me
Everything I wouldn’t know
You tell your weakness to me
Everything you wouldn’t show
You’ll see your way to trust me yet
You’ll see your way to judge me yet
Just tell me every little thing
Every little thing that you think of me
Just tell me every little thing
Every little thing that you think of me
Just tell me every little thing
Every little thing that you think of me
Just tell me every little thing
Every little thing that you think of me
You snap your fingers at me
Because you know I’ll come
Your eyes just linger on me
Because you know I’m done
I’ll see my way to trust you yet
I’ll see my way to judge you yet
Just tell me every little thing
Every little thing that you think of me
Just tell me every little thing
Every little thing that you think of me

Singing in the sunshine laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bags my foot’s outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball, uh uh, uh uh, yeah
Singing to an ocean I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free I play for me and play a whole lot more more
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains has the ocean lost its way
I don't know oh oh yeah
Ooh yeah
Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing of the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
It has only been ten years but it's a real fine way to start
Oh yeah
It sure is fine
Ah blow my mind
When the tears are goin' down
Yeah Yeah yeah
Oh so oh so oh so good
Oh so good

You Could Break My Heart
04:03
|
|||
With every phrase and every whisper
She could take control
And I’m saying I could never resist her
And I think she knows
We got the chemical reaction churning baby
We got the fire and explosion coming
We got the laws of attraction working
And I know you’ve got me cornered and I say
Ooh you could break my heart if you wanted to
You’ve got those eyes those baby blues
You could break my heart if you wanted to
With every verse and every chapter
She leads me further down
I turn the page and I take the after
And I can’t get out
We got the chemical reaction churning baby
We got the fire and explosion coming
We got the laws of attraction working
And I know you’ve got me cornered and I say
Ooh you could break my heart if you wanted to
You’ve got those eyes those baby blues
You could break my heart if you wanted to
But I know she won’t
I know she won’t
I know she won’t
I hope she won’t
Ooh you could break my heart if you wanted to
You’ve got those eyes those baby blues
You could break my heart if you wanted to
Ooh you could break my heart if you wanted to
You’ve got those eyes those baby blues
You could break my heart if you wanted to
Ooh you could break my heart if you wanted to
You’ve got those eyes those baby blues
You could break my heart if you wanted to

Don't Start A Fire
03:13
|
|||
Got the devil off your back but the devil comes back for more
But it's the devil inside that you really gotta to watch out for
Don’t start a fire that you can’t put out
Don’t start to hedge if there ain’t no doubt
When you’re living right you won’t start a fire that you can’t put out
Got the lever in your hand and you switch it on to see in the dark
But you’ve got a little tinderbox and you’re out there waving a spark
Don’t start a fire that you can’t put out
Don’t start to hedge if there ain’t no doubt
When you’re living right you won’t start a fire that you can’t put out
Got the clever little plan to forget about where you are
Got your head in the sand but you think that you’re seeing stars
Don’t start a fire that you can’t put out
Don’t start to hedge if there ain’t no doubt
When you’re living right you won’t start a fire that you can’t put out
Don’t start a fire that you can’t put out
Don’t start to hedge if there ain’t no doubt
When you’re living right you won’t start a fire that you can’t put out

I Wanna Go Home
03:07
|
|||
Inside my mind
(truly, truly)
It can seem quite wild
(unruly, ruly)
but if you read the signs
(fully, fully)
You’ll see that I’m just tired
If you wanna take me out on the town then do it
We better go before I lay back down
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go where I’ll be left alone
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go where I’ll be left alone
If you play the game
(fairly, fairly)
You might think I’ll change
(rarely, rarely)
But if I say your name
(barely, barely)
I think you’ll see my way
If you wanna take me out on the town then do it
We better go before I break you down
(and you wanna go home)
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go where I’ll be left alone
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go where I’ll be left alone
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go where I’ll be left alone
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go where I’ll be left alone
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go where I’ll be left alone
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go where I’ll be left alone

Put The Pistol Away
03:10
|
|||
Follow my logic to the end of the line
I know it’s not so biological to take it stride
But there’s a common ground between you between me between them
It’s hollow and chaotic to contend a design
I know it’s autobiographical but I’m terrified
But there’s a common ground between you between me between them
You could take us out
Or you could turn the whole thing around
Hey whaddya say let’s put the pistol away
We got our whole lives ahead of us don’t take em today
We got the whole world watching let’s avoid the cliche
We say Hey hey whaddya say let’s put the pistol away
Allow me a moment to defend and define
I know it’s not so patriotic to pretend there’s a sign
But there’s a common ground between you between me between them
You could take us out
Or you could turn the whole thing around
Hey whaddya say let’s put the pistol away
We got our whole lives ahead of us don’t take em today
We got the whole world watching let’s avoid the cliche
We say Hey hey whaddya say let’s put the pistol away
You could take us out
Or you could turn the whole thing around
Hey whaddya say let’s put the pistol away
We got our whole lives ahead of us don’t take em today
We got the whole world watching let’s avoid the cliche
We say Hey hey whaddya say let’s put the pistol away

Shatter
04:10
|
|||
Coming up for oxygen
The world's the same
But something's changing
You see it on the street again
Lighting up
The strangest faces
And it feels like that
Sweeter than the best you've ever had
And oh, it takes me back
To being sixteen, dancing like you're under attack
I don't really care if it nearly kills me
I'd give you the world if you asked me to
I could break a glass just to watch it shatter
I'd do anything just to feel with you
Right
You alright
Alright
I see it in your teeth again
There's a tightness when you're smiling
It creeps in through the backdoor when
You play pretend and break down crying
And it feels like that
'Cause you're wishing you had something you never had
But now we're going back
To being sixteen, flying like you'll never collapse
I don't really care if it nearly kills me
I'd give you the world if you asked me to
I could break a glass just to watch it shatter
I'd do anything just to feel with you
I don't really care if it nearly kills me
Feel it in my fists like it's time to move
Quick, give me a glass, I'mma watch it shatter
I'd do anything just to feel with you
You right
You alright
You
I know there's people everywhere with injustice on their lips
And there's this open wound bleeding between my hips
And I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared
And I've got all this anger trapped so deep inside
That started burning the summer my heroes died
And I just wish that I could hear a new Bowie again
Again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again, again
I don't really care if it nearly kills me
I'd give you the world if you asked me to
I could break a glass just to watch it shatter
I'd do anything just to feel with you
I don't really care if it nearly kills me
I'd give you the world if you want me to
I can feel it in my fists, it's time to shatter
I'd do anything just to feel with
With you
I'd do anything just to feel
With you
I'd do anything just to feel
With you

Let It Burn
05:02
|
|||
Locked out and chained up
Alive but not quite
It’s the original sin
Talked out constrained and
Styled black and white
We are not giving in
And if this is what we've built then let it burn
If this is what we've built then let it burn
Let it burn¬
Let it burn¬
Try to feel something
Don’t let it go
You’re more than what you learn
You could do nothing
Say it’s for show
Everyone feigns concern
And if this is what we've built then let it burn
If this is what we've built then let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
We built this house on the land of others
We built this town on the backs of our brothers
We sit this out and we’ll get what we earned
If this is what we’ve built then let it burn
