I know that it's over
But I can't believe we're
through
They said that time's a healer
And I'm better
without you
It's gonna take time I know
But I'll get over
you
Look at my life
Look at my heart
I have seen
them fall apart
Now I'm ready to rise again
Look at my hopes
Look at my dreams
I'm building bridges from these scenes
Now I'm ready to rise again
Caught up in my thinking,
yeah
Like a prisoner in my mind
You pose so many questions
But the truth was hard to find
I better think twice I know
That I'll get over you
Much time has passed between us
Do you still think of me at all?
My world of broken promises
Now you won't catch me when I fall
put your arms around me
listen to my heartbeat now
if you want to love me
baby, i can show you how
love me like a song
sweet as a melody
learn all the words to me
and sing along
find the harmony
the rhythm and the rhyme to me
on and on
all night long
love me like song
i want to be the melody
you can't get out of your head
think of me as words of love
a poet might have said
And love
Is not the easy thing
The only baggage
That you can bring
Love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird
In an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you got
You can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
You stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home
Hard to know what it is
If you never had one
Home
I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going
Home
That's where the hurt is
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you care
It's only time
And I'll never fill up all I find
All that you sense
All that you scheme
All you dress up
And all that you see
All you create
All that you wreck
All that you hate
Good morning heartache
You all gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I tossed and turned
Until it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you
But you're here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now every day I start by
Saying to you
Good morning heartache, what's new?
Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those monday blues
Straight through sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
You're the one who knew me well
Might as well get used to you
Hangin' around
Good morning heartache
Sit down
"Someday" - The Strokes
You say you want to stay by my side,
darling your head's not right
Everybody has got someone they can't have,
and I've got you
Baby tell me, how did you know?
Was it the first kiss?
No, not the first kiss, it was so much more than that
and baby tell me, how did you know?
Was it the first touch?
No not the first touch, it was so much more than that
I wasn't really sure, so I got down on my knees
and when I talked to God, He said you were right for me...
He says...
You're the one...you're the one
God told me so, that's how I know, and baby that's enough for me
You're the one, ...you're the one
God told me so, that's how I know, that we were meant to be
Baby tell me, what changed your mind?
Was it the diamond?
No, not the diamond, this is so much deeper than that
Baby tell me, what made you change?
Was it your mother?
No, not my mother, she didn't talk me into it
Instead I talked to God, I told Him what I need
He said this one is right, he loves you and he loves Me
You're the one, you're the one
God told me so, that's how I know, that we were meant to be
You're the one, you're the one
God told me so, that is how I know, and baby that's enough for me
I didn't want take that forever love, not that kind of love
I want us to last for a million years, so I have to hear from God
You're the one, you're the one
God told me so, that is how I've come to know, and baby that's enough for me
You're the one, you're the one
God told me so, that's how I know, that we were meant to be
God said it, I believe Him (yeah)
God said it is
I trust you with my life...
I’m looking for a way to feel you hold me
To feel your heart beat just one more time
I’m reaching back, trying to touch the moment
Each precious minute that you were mine
How do you prepare, when you love someone this way,
To let them go a little more each day?
The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn’t waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonged to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we’ve lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again,
´cause it was beautiful.
Some days missing you is overwhelming
When it hits me you’re not coming back
And in my darkest hours, I have wondered
Was it worth it for the time we had?
My thoughts get kinda scattered, but one thing I know is true
I bless the day that I found you, oh oh
Oh, The rules we stepped aside
The fear that we defied
Oh, The thrill of the ride
The fire in our hearts that burned
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we’ve lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again,
´cause it was beautiful.
So beautiful.
It was beautiful.
Have you heard, have you heard?
About this girl who was ripped up by her roots
Have you heard, what she learned?
Like humility - you win when you lose
I have learned, I have learned
The most horrifying nights have an end
I was hurt, I was lost
In the dark I found a way to a friend
I am standing here in my ravine
Once again I see a piece of the sky
And my joy'll never be denied
'Cause I was meant to be here -
The only place on earth
Where you are near, where you are near
Was a flower, was so frail
And I let the trees grow wild around me
Grew so high, hid the sky
Shaded everything I needed to see
Then one night, someone came
Took a knife and ripped me up by my roots
Tossed astray, far away
In the darkest night, I started to pray
I am standing here in my ravine
Once again I see a piece of the sky
And my joy'll never be denied
'Cause I was meant to be here -
The only place on earth
Where you are near, where you are near
Why do you, why do you ask?
Why I'm not blaming my God?
I'll tell you, I'll tell you what
He was the only one there
I am standing here in my ravine
Once again I see a piece of the sky
And my joy'll never be denied
'Cause I was meant to be here -
The only place on earth
Where you are near, where you are near
Don't call me
Don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
You know that
We needed some time and space to breathe in
I still recall the words you said to me
It's what you did not say that sets me free
Now how can I find peace of mind
When you keep coming back again
It's not okay for you to play
This game of see-saw with my head
Now it hurts too much
And it hits too hard
And I won't play this part
So now I say the things I want to say
Sometimes it's better letting go this way
I'll always know down in my soul
We really had so far to go
I've given all I have to give
and now it's time for me to live
And I won't look back
And I won't regret
Though it hurts like hell
Someday I will forget
Don't call me
Don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
Don't say that, you've been thinking
Cause I know it's just the drink in you.
It's funny how we seem to end up here
I never thought I'd see this soul disappear
This is letting go
Boy:
girl it felt like i had you in my arms
for me i can't forget you
i'm just thinking about you
GIRL:
i guess it's cause you're the first i ever had
and i can't forget you now
boy i can't forget you
you're my first love
you're the only one i ever loved
Boy:
the first time that i saw you
you had a flower pinned in your hair
you had such a pretty face
and the smile that was always there
GIRL:
well this was my first love
and maybe it was yours
it doesn't really matter now
boy, just wanna let you know
GIRL: (spoken)
i'll never forget the first time i saw you
you had the sweetest smile
and all i could think of was how i could make you my guy (make you mine)
my first love
You're my first love
You're the only one i've ever loved (to kiss, to touch, to hold you close)
To see you when I wake up, is a gift I didn't think could be real
To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a Three-fold utopian dream
You do something to me that I can't explain
So would I be out of line, If I said
I miss you.
I see your picture, I smell your skin on, the empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away
I know I'll see you again
Whether far or soon
But I need you to know, that I care
And I miss you
It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know (2x)
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch your smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
And then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
forever and ever
I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Baby, baby
