Taylor Swift - Dear John Lyrics

Taylor Swift - Dear John Video

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps, praying the floor won't fall through, again
My mother accused me of losing my mind, but I swore I was fine
 
You paint a blue sky then go back and turn it to rain
When I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight
Well I stopped picking up, and this song to let you know why
 
Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should've known
 
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back and regret, I ignored when they said run as fast as you can
 
Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
 
Dear John,
I see it all now, it was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young
To be played by your dark twisted games?
When I loved you so
 
I should've known
 
You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you run dry
Have dried lifeless eyes
Cause you burned them out
 
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town
 
Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
 
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
 
You should've known.
You should've known.
 
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known.

Rod Stewart - Twistin' The Night Away Lyrics

Rod Stewart - Twistin' The Night Away Video

Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in new york way
Where the people are so gay, twistin the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin trouble on the run
Oh man youll find the old and young twistin the night away
 
Heres a man in evening clothes, how he got here I dont know
But oh man, you ought to see him go, twistin the night away
Hes dancing with a chick in slacks, shes moving up and back
Oh man, there aint nothing like twistin the night away
 
Feel much better
 
Heres a fellow in blue jeans, whos dancing with an older queen
Dolled up in her diamond rings, twistin the night away
Man you ought to see her go, twistin to the rock and roll
Here youll find the young and the old twistin the night away
 
Theyre twistin, twistin, everybodys doing great
Theyre twistin man, twistin, theyre twistin the night away
Twistin, you know theyre twistin, twistin the night away
Theyre twistin, twistin, man twistin the night away
 
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin trouble on the run
Oh man youll find young and the old twistin the night away
Heres a man in evening clothes, how he got here I dont know
I dont know but man you ought to see him go
Twistin the night away

Phillip Phillips - Can't Go Wrong Lyrics

Phillip Phillips - Can't Go Wrong Video

I've seen the lights come from the flashes in the dark
I feel like a blind man trying to make a start
And I don't know, no I don't know where I'm gonna go
 
I've seen the sun come up a mile off the ground
Flew back the other way and saw it go back down
I know the days change but always seem the same
I'll take the best of what I can from my mistakes
And now I know, now I know
 
I can't go wrong
As long as I remember where I'm from
Hold my head up just to keep it clear
I want a chance just to face my fear, face my fear
 
Never mind all the times that I just couldn't wait
I can't remember when it all began to change
Watching the grass grow and die
From summer to fall
It's funny how a year passes by and you don't notice at all
Well I know, I know
 
I can't go wrong
As long as I remember where I'm from
Hold my head up just to keep it clear
I want a chance just to face my fear, face my fear

Michael Buble - Moondance Lyrics

Michael Buble - Moondance Video

Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
 
Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
 
Well I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then, all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then, I will make you my own
Any time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide
 
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
 
Well I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then, all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then, I will make you my own
Any time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide
 
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
 
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
 
My love
My love
I just want one more moondance with you
Yes I do

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters Lyrics

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters Video

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
 
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
 
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
 
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
 
So close, no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
 
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
 
I never opened myself this way hey
Life is ours, we live it our way hey
All these words I don't just say hey
And nothing else matters
 
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
 
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah yeah!
 
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

Imagine Dragons - Amsterdam Lyrics

Imagine Dragons - Amsterdam Video

I'm sorry, mother... I'm sorry, I let you down
Well, these days I'm fine No these days I tend to lie
I'll take the West train, just by the side of Amsterdam
Just by my left brain, just by the side of the Tin man
 
I'm sorry, brother... I'm sorry, I let cha down
Well, these days you're fine No these days you tend to lie
You'll take the West train, just by the side of Amsterdam
Just by your left brain, just by the side of the Tin man
 
Your time will come if you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me... I've tried
But I keep coming up short
 
I'm sorry, lover... You're sorry; I bring you down
Well, these days I try and these days I tend to lie
Kinda thought I was a mystery and then I thought I wasn't meant to be
You said yourself fantastically, Congratulations you were all alone
 
Your time will come if you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me... I've tried
Your time will come if you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me... I've tried
 
But the rain won't fall for the both of us
The sun won't shine on the both of us
Believe me when I say, that I wouldn't have it any other way
 
Your time will come if you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me... I've tried
But I won't wait much longer 'Cause these walls they're crashing down
And I won't wait much longer 'Cause these walls they're crashing down
And I keep coming up short

Ginuwine - Stingy Lyrics

Ginuwine - Stingy Video

Spoken:
You know what, baby?
I need to tell you somethin' (ay)
Somethin' very important
You know
I want you to take this time out and just listen
Very close
You hear me?
Listen
 
Can I have you for a minute?
Dont get shy
'Cause my heart's in it
When I say you got me strung out
I dont know and I can't call it
But whatever it is, you got it
Naw, babe, Without a doubt
Never been the one to cling
And I don't like to be needed
But now
I guess thats' all changed
That's why I get mad at your folks
'Cause I don't want you to go
Naw, babe, I want you to stay
 
You can say I'm trippin'
But I'm stingy
And I can't hide it
Wanna keep you all to me
I'm selfish
Why try to fight it?
You're the only one
With the only love
That is strong enough to claim me
So please, forgive me
I'm just stingy
But how can you blame me?
 
Baby, tell me how you do it
'Cause you got me so into it
I'm gone, but I don't understand
So amazin', captivated, elevated
Anyway you try to put it
I wanna be yo' man
So if you want to put me on
I don't mind
It's alright, I'm for it
I would so adore it
Nothin' turns me on more than being with you
 
You can say I'm tripin'
But I'm stingy
And I can't hide it
Wanna keep you all to me
I'm selfish
Why try to fight it?
You're the only one
With the only love
That is strong enough to claim me
So please, forgive me
I'm just stingy
But how can you blame me?
 
Do what you want
Anything, anything, oh anything you want, I'm yours
You, can't do no wrong
Everything, everything
I do it because I'm so wide opened
No jokin', you got me right where you want me to be
I just hope you feel the same
'Cause I don't want nothin' to change
This is where I wanna be
So if you wanna put me on
I don't mind
It's alright
I'm for it
I would so adore it
Nothin' turns me on better than bein' with you
 
Baby, I'm not trippin'
 
You can say I'm trippin'
But I'm stingy
And I can't hide it
Wanna keep you all to me
I'm selfish
Why try to fight it?
You're the only one
With the only love
That is strong enough to claim me
So please, forgive me
I'm just stingy
But how can you blame me?

Crash Test Dummies - All Of This Ugly Lyrics

Crash Test Dummies - All Of This Ugly Video

I was walking through the country
And passing through lovely scenery
When I came upon some rotting remains
And though the carcass was wormy
Well, after all, it's all part of nature's art of cleaning
 
And if I try hard I think that I will see
Some good behind all of this ugly
 
When my job was garbageman
I'd go out and empty the garbage cans
And I'd come upon some rotting remains
But we'd drive them outside town
And fill the land, and make hills that you could walk around on
 
And if I try hard I think that I will see
Some good behind all of this ugly
 
If I were born as a vulture
I'd fly out and circle high in the air
And I'd look out for rotting remains
And if they weren't quite dead yet
A little bite would help things so I could get started
 
And if I try hard I think that I will see
Some good behind all of this ugly

Capital Cities - Origami Lyrics

Capital Cities - Origami Video

Origami (or or or ori o or i ga mi)
Origami (or or or ori o or i)
 
You got a head full of paper, but baby nothing like origami
Shredded thoughts and make up won't make up for the missing piece of mind
I saw you look in the mirror, the scenery was suddenly boring
 
It's the end of an era
Forever is just a state of mind
You're last of your kind
 
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
 
You were blessed with precision so I took you to the beaches of Bali
It wasn't fate but decision, luck was choosing sides
Flip the page to a silver age
Life has treated you kindly
 
The price you pay is your vision
Collision is highly likely
 
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
 
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
 
Origami
Origami
Origami
Origami
 
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
(origami)
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
 
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do
(Origami)
I stole your diamonds and gold
What are you going to do about it (do about it)
