Ready to Be Better
03:12
|
|||
It’s quarter past three on New Year’s Eve
But it could be any day from the last few years
I've been skating on ice
Fighting my vices, yeah
I’ve been close to the edge
More times than I could forget
But today is the beginning of the end
For every time I stole your light
In amongst a drunken night
Talking about our hopes and dreams
Getting locked out without a key
I've had enough of fleeting fun
And lying about the things I’ve done
I’m ready to be better now, better now
I want to make it better now, better now
I’m ready to be better now, better now
I want to make it better now, better now
And I'll always remember the first time we met
You were with somebody else
His name is on the tip of my tongue but I forget
But that was then and somehow
I’m the one that you're with now
And I don’t want this love to ever end
For every time I stole your light
In amongst a drunken night
Talking about our hopes and dreams
Getting locked out without a key
I've had enough of fleeting fun
And lying about the things I’ve done
I’m ready to be better now, better now
I want to make it better now, better now
I’m ready to be better now, better now
I want to make it better now, better now
And I poured my heart out into a coffee cup
For every time I thought, I thought I fucked it up
But that was then and somehow
I’m the one that you're with now
And I don’t want this love to ever end
I’m ready to be better now, better now
I want to make it better now, better now
I’m ready to be better now, better now
I want to make it better now, better now

Monsters
03:38
|
|||
I know you were scared of the monsters
Hiding under the bed
Alone and afraid of the darkness
Lying there holding your breath
Counting the stars on the ceiling
Can’t have been older than ten
How could you know it was all make believe back then?
That the monsters ain’t real, there’s no wolves in the night
No ones coming for you, you are safe close your eyes
It’s all just lies, nothing but scary tales
It’s gonna be alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
It’s gonna be alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
What if I told you your demons
Would someday become your friends
There’s wisdom to find in the darkness
So honey no need to be scared
So count all the stars on the ceiling
Then start all over again
It might take a few rounds but you’ll figure it out in the end
Coz the monsters ain’t real there’s no wolves in the night
No ones coming for you you are safe close your eyes
It’s all just lies, nothing but scary tales
It’s gonna be alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
It’s gonna be alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
Heaven’s on earth and hell is all in your head
How I wish that I could have told you that back then
That the monsters ain’t real there’s no wolves in the night
No ones coming for you you are safe close your eyes
It’s all just lies, nothing but scary tales
It’s gonna be alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
It’s gonna be alright
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
Heaven’s on earth and hell is all in your head
How I wish that I could have told you that back then
You’re gonna be just fine
You’re gonna be just fine

Beautiful Soul
03:40
|

Hey now Amy Jane don't you cry
I’m no good at goodbyes
I know you love me, you don’t wanna hurt me
But you and me just ain’t right
It was hard for me to take at the start
To admit we were growing apart
Just let me say this one last time before you go
I just want you to smile
Put your hand on your heart
Tell me he loves you and he ain’t gonna hurt you
Coz you got a beautiful heart
I just want you to know
Even though it was hard to let go
Just let me say this one last time before you go
You got a beautiful soul
That was you throwing caution to the wind
I never thought that you’d risk everything
Guess I wasn’t listening when your heart was speaking
Now I see you leaving
And I know it’s the right thing to do
I just want you to smile
Put your hand on your heart
Tell me he loves you and he ain’t gonna hurt you
Coz you got a beautiful heart
I just want you to know
Even though it was hard to let go
Just let me say this one last time before you go
I know it’s the right thing to do
But that don’t make it easy, don’t make it any easier no
All the things we’ve been through
It’s hard to get over, to get over you
I just want you to smile
Put your hand on your heart
Tell me he loves you and he ain’t gonna hurt you
Coz you got a beautiful heart
I just want you to know
Even though it was hard to let go
Just let me say this one last time before you go
You got a beautiful soul
You beautiful soul
I just want you to smile
Put your hand on your heart
Tell me he loves you and he ain’t gonna hurt you
Coz you got a beautiful soul

Magic
03:03
|
|||
It’s in your bloodstream right to your bones
It’s been lying in wait since the day that you were born
It was there in the stories, there when you were a child
I love how you remind me to keep running wild
Until magic is a beautiful habit
I can feel it, I’m coming alive
And I love it (and I love it)
The way you tell me I got this (the way you tell me I got this)
I know I’ve told you a thousand times
I’m gonna tell you one more time
All, all, all of your magic
All, all, all of your magic (I want all your magic)
All, all, all of your magic
All, all, all of your magic
You’re a force of nature, you’re a wild queen
I don’t even know where to start, where to begin, no
Yeah you got me on the ropes, yeah you win
Oh darling, teach me how you swim
Until magic is a beautiful habit
I can feel it, I’m coming alive
And I love it (and I love it)
The way you tell me I got this (the way you tell me I got this)
I know I’ve told you a thousand times
I’m gonna tell you one more time
All, all, all of your magic
All, all, all of your magic (I want all your magic)
All, all, all of your magic
All, all, all of your magic
Your magic all that magic
It’s a feeling I think I got it now
Your magic all that magic
Its a feeling, all I need is your
Magic it’s a beautiful habit (all, all, all of your magic)
I can feel it I’m coming alive (all, all, all of your magic)
And I love it the way you tell me I got this (all, all, all of your magic)
I know I’ve told you a thousand times
I’m gonna tell you one more

God Damn, I'm Happy
03:09
|
|||
I think you're really good for me, maybe perfect
The way you laugh at my jokes makes me wanna take you to bed (oh)
When I’m with you I feel like I could be a lion king
Everything’s better when it’s you and me
God damn, does that mean I’ve gotta spend the rest of my life with you?
God damn, does that mean you’re the one that I’ve been trying to find for years?
God damn, does that mean that you love me?
God damn, I’m happy
I think you’re really into me and I like it
You make me wanna love myself again
When you tell me your deepest thoughts when you let me in
I feel like I can do anything
God damn, does that mean I’ve gotta spend the rest of my life with you?
God damn, does that mean you’re the one that I’ve been trying to find for years?
God damn, does that mean that you love me?
God damn, I’m happy
And I guess I’ll have to give you a key to my house now
Maybe we could even share a Netflix account
And I’ll empty out a draw, so there’s a space for your things, oooh
God damn, does that mean I’ve gotta spend the rest of my life with you?
God damn, does that mean you’re the one that I’ve been trying to find for years?
God damn, does that mean that you love me?
God damn, I’m happy

When you’re down and out of luck
Feeling like you’ve had enough
Doing all that you can
Just trying to make ends meet
Swimming through stormy seas
Sinking in the quicksand
You’re working hard, to the bone, to the limit
You’re living life in the passenger’s seat
And I know it’s hard and you might not believe it
But somewhere there’s a plan for you
Just gotta let the sun shine
Gotta let it happen baby
If you let it happen I know there’ll be good times
Somewhere there’s a plan for you (You might not believe it)
Somewhere there’s a plan
Somewhere there’s a plan (You might not believe it)
Somewhere there’s a plan
Somewhere there’s a plan (You might not believe it)
When you’re feeling out of touch
Like you’ve lost a little love
Just know that I understand
Let this melody from my head
Take you somewhere else instead
‘Cause baby I know
You’re working hard, to the bone, to the limit
You’re living life in the passenger’s seat
And I know it’s hard and you might not believe it
But somewhere there’s a plan for you
Just gotta let the sun shine
Gotta let it happen baby
If you let it happen I know there’ll be good times
I promise you, I promise if you let the sun shine
If you let it happen baby
Gotta let it happen
I know there’ll be good times
Somewhere there’s a plan for you
And I know we’ve all got our problems
You’ve got yours and I’ve got mine
Gotta learn to let go and grow through the hard times
‘Cause baby I know
You’re working hard, to the bone, to the limit
You’re living life in the passenger’s seat
And I know it’s hard and you might not believe it
But somewhere there’s a plan for you
Just gotta let the sun shine
Gotta let it happen baby
If you let it happen I know there’ll be good times
Somewhere there’s a plan for you (You might not believe it)
Somewhere there’s a plan
Somewhere there’s a plan (You might not believe it)
Somewhere there’s a plan
Somewhere there’s a plan (You might not believe it)

Big Brown Eyes
04:00
|
|||
I guess you made us strangers
But you know I’ve seen you here before
You remind me of someone, someone I’d like to know
I ain’t a dancer, but I wanna dance with you
And get lost inside your big brown eyes, in your
I wanna get to know
All of your flaws, all of your scars, all of your thoughts
Even if we’re dancing all night long
And our hearts get sore, feels like we can’t go on
I don’t know why you’re saying that it feels wrong
Coz to me it just feels right
Just dance with me tonight
Just dance with me tonight
(Dance, dance, dance, dance with me)
(Dance, dance, dance, dance with me)
A wave of sadness crashing down over your eyes
I can see them sparkling
When you take yourself inside
I try to remind you of the day that we first met
But I’m swimming up against the tide again
I wanna get to know
All of your flaws, all of your scars, all of your thoughts
Even if we’re dancing all night long
And our hearts get sore, feels like we can’t go on
I don’t know why you’re saying that it feels wrong
Coz to me it just feels right
Just dance with me tonight
Just dance with me tonight
(Dance, dance, dance, dance with me)
(Dance, dance, dance, dance with me)
I got all the things you said
On a loop in my head
You said it was all for me
We were gonna be wild and free
You said we were soulmates
Like it was meant to be
Now you want me to just let you go, like it’s easy
Even if we’re dancing all night long
And our hearts get sore, feels like we can’t go on
I don’t know why your saying that it feels wrong
Cause to me it just feels right
(Dance, dance, dance, dance with me)
Even if we’re dancing all night long
And our hearts get sore, feels like we can’t go on
And I don’t know why your saying that it feels wrong
Coz to me it just feels right
Just dance with me tonight
(Dance, dance, dance, dance with me)
Just dance with me tonight
(Dance, dance, dance, dance with me)
All of your flaws, all of your scars, all of your thoughts
All of your flaws, everything

Make Me Yours
03:25
|
|||
Let me drop my guard
You can take control, I know how it feels
Holding your soul in the heat of the moment
I know it’s real
But now I wanna just let go
Will you hold me?
Feel the way it feels babe
To control me
Put your hands on my heart
You can leave your mark on me
‘Cause baby I am yours
Come into the dark with me
Baby make me yours
(Make me yours, make me yours)
(Make me yours, make me yours)
Baby make me yours
(Make me yours, make me yours)
(Make me yours, make me yours)
Honey you don’t know
The depths that I would go for you right now
No lie
Holding the pose, as I melt on the floor
You’re on fire tonight
Now I wanna see you glow
Will you show me?
Show me what you like let me play the role
Make me yours tonight
Put your hands on my heart
You can leave your mark on me
‘Cause baby I am yours
Come into the dark with me
Baby make me yours
(Make me yours, make me yours)
(Make me yours, make me yours)
Baby make me yours
(Make me yours, make me yours)
(Make me yours, make me yours)
I want you to hold me, kiss me, tease me
I want you to make me yours (make me yours)
I want you to hold me, kiss me, tease me
I want you to make me yours
Put your hands on my heart
You can leave your mark on me
‘Cause baby I am yours
Come into the dark with me
Baby make me yours
Baby make me yours
(Make me yours, make me yours)
(Make me yours, make me yours)
I want you to hold me, kiss me, tease me
I want you to make me yours (make me yours)
I want you to hold me, kiss me, tease me
I want you to make me yours
Put your hands on my heart

How to Be Happy
03:39
|
|||
I've got an ego
And it informs a lot of what I do
I’ve dated girls in the past just to make me look good
When I go out on the town
But that feels like a long time ago now
Almost another lifetime somehow
But that’s just me
And I’m coming clean
I don’t wanna grow old alone
To lose myself, does someone know
How to be happy
How to be happy
I’ve got a conscious that I don’t always listen to
I got lost in a hollow, helpless moment
I know that I let you down
I guess that I should probably go now
And let you try and deal with it somehow
But that’s just me
And I’m coming clean
I don’t wanna grow old alone
To lose myself does someone know
How to be happy
How to be happy
Sometimes I lie awake when I’m bed
And I think about all my mistakes
And your voice in my head
Saying I’m never gonna get it right
Please tell me that I’ve still got a chance
A chance to be happy
I don’t wanna grow old alone
To lose myself, does someone know
How to be happy
How to be happy
Does someone know
How be to happy
How to be happy

Power
03:29
|

I feel like Beethoven, wanna play for hours
On a piano in the basement where I taught myself
To feel in the moment, to speak my truth
To open up my heart, I got nothing to lose
I got a little bit scared back there, oooh
I’ve got the deepest fear
That I might be powerful like the wildest animal
I want the world to know
That I am so powerful when I’m the wildest animal
Power, power, I wanna feel that
Power, power, I wanna feel that
Power, power, I wanna feel the rush
Listening to Bowie on a 45
Got Major Tom keeping my dreams alive
A drop of whisky, a toast to my old friend in the sky
Jupiter, I got a little bit scared back there, oooh
I’ve got the deepest fear
That I might be powerful like the wildest animal
I want the world to know
That I am so powerful when I’m the wildest animal
Power, power, I wanna feel that
Power, power, I wanna feel that
Power, power, I wanna feel the rush
When it comes, when it comes to me
Like the sound of a symphony
Calling my name
What if I get it wrong?
What if I’m not the one?
Tell me I don’t need to be afraid
Coz I’ve got the deepest fear
That I might be powerful like the wildest animal
I want the world to know
That I am so powerful when I’m the wildest animal
Power, power, I wanna feel that
Power, power, I wanna feel that
Power, power, I wanna feel the rush
Power, power, I wanna feel that
Power, power, I wanna feel that
Power, power, I wanna feel the rush

Rightful Place
03:17
|

You always tell me that I’m good enough
And I’m starting to believe your love
Could send me over the edge
With a little confidence
Life is only what you make of it
Here I am right in the thick of it
On my way, come what may
And I’ll go down with this ship
Like I do almost every single day
And I’ll do it again and again
Till I take my rightful place
I threw my money down a wishing well
I bet my life with all I had to sell
And oh my god
Is that all you got?
For all that hope that I tried to hide
For all that love that I kept inside
No you can’t fib a fibber, no
And I’ll go down with this ship
Like I do almost every single day
And I’ll do it again and again
Till I take my rightful place
Oooh I’ll never stop dreaming
Oooh I’ll never give in
And I’ll go down with this ship
Like I do almost every single day
And I’ll do it again and again
Till I take my rightful place
Oooh I’ll never stop dreaming
Oooh I’ll never give in

Up and down, that’s the way life goes
I saw a man in the street with a hat at his feet
Singing that song that everyone knows
The sweetest sound that I’ve ever known
The one that hits you like the girl in the picture
With a smile that she only shows…
If you’re lucky
Coz I’ve been lucky
I’ve loved and I’ve lost
And I know what it means to survive
You’re not alone, no, no
Through the highs and the lows
Get lost in the moment with someone who’s feeling it too
Someone who feels just like you
‘Round and ‘round, the hand it goes
And they stand in a circle as we find our purpose
And watch as we beg to defy
If you’re looking
Coz I’ve been looking
For the grace in the moment
In the beauty before our eyes
You’re not alone, no, no
Through the highs and the lows
Get lost in the moment with someone who’s feeling it too
You’re not alone, no, no
We live and we grow
Get lost in the moment with someone who’s feeling it too
You’re not alone, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Get lost in the moment
Lost in the moment with you
You’re not alone, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Get lost in the moment
Lost in the moment with you
If you’re lucky
Coz I’ve been lucky
I’ve loved and I’ve lost
And I know what it means to survive
You’re not alone, no, no
Through the highs and the lows
Get lost in the moment with someone who’s feeling it too
Someone who feels just like you
You’re not alone, no, no
We live and we grow
Get lost in the moment with someone who’s feeling it too
Someone who feels just like you
Someone who feels just like you
Oh, someone who feels just like you
