David Archuleta Album

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside..
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know..

[Chorus]
Do you ever think when your all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cuz I try and try to walk away,
But I know this crush ain't goin away, goin away

Has it ever cross your mind
When we're hangin spending time girl
Are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last,
Last forever, forever

[Chorus]

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know..

Do you ever think when your all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cuz I try and try to walk away,
But I know this crush ain't goin away x5

Saw you from the distance,
Saw you from the stage,
Something 'bout the look in your eyes,
Something 'bout your beautiful face,
In a sea of people,
There was only you,
I never knew what this song was about,
But suddenly now I do,

Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand,
Reach out as far as you can,
Only me, only you, and the band,
Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand,

Can't let the music stop,
Can't let this feeling end,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never see you again,

Can't let the music stop,
Until I touch your hand,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never get the chance again,
I'll never get the chance again,
I'll never get the chance again,

I see the sparkle of a million flashlights,
I wonder why all the the stars,
But the one that's shining out so bright,
Is the one right where you are,

Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand,
Reach out as far as you can,
Only me, only you, and the band,
Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand,

Can't let the music stop,
Can't let this feeling end,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never see you again,

Can't let the music stop,
Until I touch your hand,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never get the chance again,
I'll never get the chance again,

Saw you from the distance,
Saw you from the stage,
Something 'bout the look in your eyes,
Something 'bout your beautiful face,

Can't let the music stop,
Can't let this feeling end,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never see you again,

Can't let the music stop,
Until I touch your hand,
Cause if I do it'll all be over,
I'll never get the chance again,
I'll never get the chance again,

Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand, (I'll never get the chance again)
Reach out as far as you can, (I'll never get the chance again)
Only me, only you, and the band,
Trying to reach out to you,
Touch my hand,
Yeah, yeah

Hey, Mmmm,

Well I don't know how to say this right,
And the words got me choking,
I keep hitting this wall,
It's never gonna fall,
And we're still broken,
This mountail we've been trying to climb,
It's never ending,
Just can't do nothing, gotta do something,
Cause if we don't open up our eyes,
We're just pretending,

Well there's a time for giving up,
Didn't wanna have to say it,
All we're doing is building walls,
And now there's too many barriers,

Here we are lying here,
It's our last final goodnight,
Just because it feels so good,
We're used to pretending we're alright,
Too many locks (locks), too many cries (cries),
Too many tears (tears), too many lies (lies),
Too many barriers (barriers).
Oh, just too many barriers.

Now we've been draggin' this whole thing out,
But I can't wait any longer.
Our love's burnin' down,
Creepin' in the doubt, we're not gettin' any stronger.
I hear you say that we're doin' okay,
But, baby, I don't think so.
Just can't do nothin'; gotta do somethin',
'Cause if I don't get into my car,
I won't go very far.
Well, there's a time for givin' up.
Didn't wanna have to say it.
All we're doin' is building walls.
Now there's too many barriers.

Here we are, lyin' here.
It's our last final goodnight.
Just because it feels so good,
We're used to pretending we're alright.
Too many locks (locks), too many cries (cries),
Too many tears (tears), too many lies (lies),
Too many barriers (barriers).
Too many barriers.
Just too many barriers

That we keep running into.
Been tryin', but we just can't break through.
I know I'm gonna keep wishin' I was with you,
But we just gotta stop...

Here we are, lyin' here.
It's our last final goodnight.
Just because it feels so good,
We're used to pretending we're alright.
Too many locks (locks), too many cries (cries),
Too many tears (tears), too many lies (lies),
Too many lies.
In a hurry to get somewhere,
And the road's tryin' to block ya, block ya (too many barriers)
And you feel like you're nowhere,
'Cause the world's tryin' to stop ya, stop ya (too many barriers)
In a hurry to get somewhere,
And the road's tryin' to block ya, block ya (too many barriers)
And you feel like you're nowhere,
'Cause the world's tryin' to stop ya, stop ya (too many barriers)

Accidentally, on purpose
I dropped my watch behind the tire
Threw my alarm clock inside the fireplace
Yeah, and I put the parental control on,
On the news and the weather channel
I'm outside in my robe I'm looking for you, oh

If everything'd stop
I'd listen for your heart
To lead me right to you, yeah
I tried every way I can

But it's harder to hold on to your hands than the hands of time
I need a hand, girl, I'm trying to hold on
Losing strength in these hands of mine
I need you here
I'm trying to hold on
Standing here, open hands and I
Know I can't do this alone
Hold on, oh hold on
Lemme hold on (to my hands)
Hold on to my hands (don't let go of my hands)
Don't let go

I don't think this is working
Squeezing so hard my hands are hurting
Ought to let go in the first place
And I put the phone on the front lawn
Everything that shows time is gone
I'm outside in this cold
Still looking for you

If everything'd stop
I'd listen for your heart
To lead me right to you, yeah
I tried every way I can

But it's harder to hold on to your hands than the hands of time
I need a hand girl, I'm trying to hold on
Losing strength in these hands of mine, I need you here
I'm trying to hold on
Standing here open hands and I
Know I can't do this alone
Hold on, oh hold on
Lemme hold on (to my hands)
Hold on to my hands (don't let go of my hands)
Don't ever let me go

If everything'd stop
I'd listen for your heart
To lead me right to you, yeah
I tried every way I can

But it's harder to hold on to your hands than the hands of time
I need a hand girl, I'm trying to hold on
Losing strength in these hands of mine, I need you here
I'm trying to hold on
Standing here open hands and I
Know I can't do this alone
Hold on, hold on
Lemme hold on (to my hands)
Can you hold on to my hands (don't let go of my hands)
Don't let go
Can you hold on to my hands

Oohhhh oh, oh..

It never crossed my mind at all.
It's what I tell myself.
What we had has come and gone.
You're better off with someone else.
It's for the best, I know it is.
But I see you.
Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside,
And I turn around.
You're with him now.
I just can't figure it out.

Tell me why it's so hard to forget.
Don't remind me, I'm not over it.
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth.
I'm just a little too not over you.
Not over you....

Memories, supposed to fade.
What's wrong with my heart?
Shake it off, let it go.
Didn't think it'd be this hard.
Should be strong, movin' on.
But I see you.
Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside.
And I turn around,
You're with him now.
I just can't figure it out.

Tell me why it's so hard to forget.
Don't remind me, I'm not over it.
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth.
I'm just a little too not over you.

Maybe I regret everything I said,
No way to take it all back, yeah...
Now I'm on my own..
How I let you go, I'll never understand.
I'll never understand, yeah, oohh..
Oohhh, oohhh, oohhhh..
Oohhh, ooohhhh, oohhh.

Tell me why it's so hard to forget.
Don't remind me, I'm not over it.
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth.
I'm just a little too not over you.

Tell me why it's so hard to forget.
Don't remind me, I'm not over it.
Tell me why I can't seem to face the truth.
And I really don't know what to do.
I'm just a little too not over you.
Not over you, oohhh..

Mmmmm....

Take me where I've never been,
Help me on my feet again.
Show me that good things come to those who wait.
Tell me I'm not on my own.
Tell me I won't be alone.
Tell me what I'm feelin' isn't some mistake.
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Save me from myself, you can.
And it's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Baby, when you look at me,
Tell me, what do you see?
Are these the eyes of someone you could love?
'Cause everything that brought me here,
Well, now it all seems so clear.
Baby, you're the one I've been dreamin' of.
If anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Save me from myself, you can.
And it's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love...

Only you can take me sailin' in your deepest eyes.
Bring me to my knees and make me cry.
And no one's ever done this,
Everything was just a lie.
And I know, yes I know...

This is where it all begins,
So tell me it'll never end.
I can't fool myself,
It's you and no one else.
If I could wish upon tomorrow,
Tonight would never end.
If you asked me, I would follow.
But for now, I just pretend.
If anyone can make me fall in love,
You can.

Show me that good things come to those who wait

Words keep fallin' out of my pocket.
Runnin' late, missed the train,
Everything is droppin'.
Holdin' onto my heart,
And I rush out, almost forgot it.
I must admit it, I'm tired,
But I'm comin' to you.
Don't know how far I've got,
But I don't care.

I'm not gonna stop runnin'.
'Cause without you,
I've got nothin'.
I know you're somewhere runnin'
Straight to me.
Don't stop runnin'.
Don't stop
Keep on runnin',
Don't stop.
Keep on runnin'.

Let's keep givin' out,
Breakin' down; I'm fallin'.
Head keeps tellin' me,
This can't be worth all of this.
Holdin' onto my heart, feel the rush.
I'm ready to run forever.
I'm holdin' it together,
'Cause I'm comin' to you.
I don't know how far I've got,
But I don't care.

I'm not gonna stop runnin'.
'Cause without you,
I've got nothin'.
I know you're somewhere runnin'
Straight to me.
Don't stop runnin'.
Don't stop

I got my good shoes.
I got my winning, girl, I'm focused
And I'm 'bout to navigate straight to you
And nothing's gonna stop me, girl
To keep me from comin'
'Cause I got to have every part of you forever.

I'm runnin', I'm runnin'.
Keep runnin', I'm runnin'.
Keep runnin', keep runnin'.

I'm not gonna stop runnin'.
'Cause without you,
I've got nothin'.
I know you're somewhere runnin'
Straight to me.
Don't stop runnin'.

I'm not gonna stop runnin'.
'Cause without you,
I've got nothin'.
I know you're somewhere runnin'
Straight to me.
Don't stop runnin'.
Don't stop runnin'.

Desperate.. Desperate..

You're reachin' out,
And no one hears your cry.
You're freakin' out again
'Cause all your fears remind you.
Another dream has come undone.
You feel so small and lost
Like you're the only one.
You wanna scream,
'Cause you're desperate.

You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight.
You want a reason to keep believin'
That some day you're gonna see the light...

You're in the dark;
There's no one left to call.
And sleep's you're only friend,
But even sleep can't hide you
From all those tears and all the pain
And all the days you waste pushin' them away.
It's your life; it's time you face it.

You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight.
You want a reason to keep believin'
That some day you're gonna see the light...
'Cause you're desperate, desperate.
'Cause you're desperate now...

You know the things have gotta change.
You can't go back, you find a way.
And day by day, you start to come alive.

You want somebody, just anybody
To bring some peace to your soul tonight.
You want a reason to keep believin'
That some day you're gonna see the light...

You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight.
You want a reason to keep believin'
That some day you're gonna see the light...
'Cause you're desperate, desperate.
'Cause you're desperate tonight.
Oh, desperate... So desperate tonight,
Tonight...

Desperate, desperate....

I've been alone so many nights now,
And I've been waitin' for the stars to fall.
I keep holdin' out for what I don't know
To be with you, just to be with you.

So here I am staring at the moon tonight,
Wondering how you look in this light.
Maybe you're somewhere thinkin' about me too.
To be with you, there's nothing I wouldn't do.

And I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually..

And when we finally meet, I'll know it's right.
I'll be at the end of my restless road.
But this journey, it was worth the fight.
To be with you, just to be...

Holding you for the very first time, never letting go.
What I wouldn't give to feel that way...
Ooohh...

Oh, to be with you...

Oh, and I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually.

And when you're standin' here in front of me,
That's when I know that God does exist.
'Cause He will have answered every single prayer.
To be with you, just to be with you, yeah.
You....

I know that look in your eyes,
I don't wanna say goodnight.
Do anything to change your mind,
Try to make you see the light.
You turn your back,
And still I say anything to make you stay.
Put up walls made of heartbreak,
Try to hide your love away.
I'm standin' here, you're givin' me nothing.
Try to feel your heart beat through the door...

Hold on, hold on, is what I'm doing.
So strong, so strong, is what I'm feeling.
It's too much, too much.
Oh, don't let go.
Don't let go.

There's somethin' that you're going through,
Wish that I could fix for you.
You don't have to be alone,
I don't wanna let you go.
I'm standin' here, you're givin' me nothing.
Try to hear your heart break through the door.
Call it love, call it what you want to.
It's the only thing that matters anymore.

Hold on, hold on, is what I'm doing.
So strong, so strong, is what I'm feeling.
It's too much, too much.
Oh, don't let go.
Oh, don't let go.
Don't let go.

Oooohhhhhh
Some days are cold,
But together, one day we'll both
Change the weather.
And it gets better.

Oooohhhhhh......

Hold on, hold on, is what I'm doing
So strong, so strong, is what I'm feeling.
It's too much, too much.
Oh, don't let go.
Oh, don't let go.
Don't let go.

Mmmmmmm....

I saw you yesterday,
It's been a while.
You tried, but failed
At holding back your smile right then.
It's not over yet.
I knew, for you.
I couldn't sleep,
I thought of nothing else,
I needed help.
Everyone was telling me
You were movin' on with someone else.
But what we had was so special,
People can be jealous.
Oh, I had to see it for myself.

I can see it in your eyes.
You feel the same about us as I.
There is no way the truth can be disguised.
You're still in love with me.
You were never really out of love with me.
Your eyes don't lie.

I know I hurt you,
I know you're hurtin' still.
But I'll make it up to you,
Yeah, baby, I will.
'Cause what we had was so special.
You know we can't give it up.
Now that I'm lookin' at you,
I can see...

I can see it in your eyes.
You feel the same about us as I.
There is no way the truth can be disguised.
You're still in love with me.
You were never really out of love with me.
Your eyes don't lie.
And they never will, girl.

Oh, now that I know.
We were apart, but your heart never let go.
So thank you for showing me with one look,
What used to be and still is a possibility..

I can see it in your eyes.
You feel the same about us as I.
There is no way the truth can be disguised.
You're still in love with me.
You were never really out of love with me.
Your eyes don't lie.
Your eyes don't lie.

(by Robbie Williams)

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate ?
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old ?
'Cos I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

CHORUS:
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

Chorus x 2

You and me, all alone girl
What’s going on?
Will you tell me what’s wrong?
It’s like you’re locked up
in your own world.
Oh, with nothin’ to say.

You keep me guessing,
But I see in your eyes.
He made you promises,
But gave you lies.
You’re shutting down
Because you’re so sure,
That I’ll be another mistake.

I know that he left you in pieces.
You know that I won’t be that way.
I’m not gonna treat you like he did.
Oh, Whatever it takes.
You think history is repeated.
You keep on wishing me away.
Oh, but nothing’s gonna change.
Waiting for yesterday.

Is it worth it any longer?
So scared of falling again.
Yesterday can make it stronger.
But why do you feel alone?
You know I love you better
than he ever did.
And this could be, all you ever needed.
Hold onto me and just remember.
Oh, no. Never let go!

I know that he left you in pieces.
You know that I won’t be that way.
I’m not gonna treat you like he did.
Oh, Whatever it takes.
You think history is repeated.
You keep on wishing me away.
Oh, but nothing’s gonna change.
Waiting for yesterday.

I’m the one for you tonight.
I’m the one for you forever.
If it takes a little time,
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes.
I’m the one for you tonight,
I’m the one for you forever.
If it takes a little time.
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes.

I know that he left you in pieces.
You know that I won’t be that way.
I’m not gonna treat you like he did.
Oh, Whatever it takes.
You think history is repeated.
You keep on wishing me away.
Oh, but nothing’s gonna change.
Waiting for yesterday.

I know that he left you in pieces.
You know that I won’t be that way.
I’m not gonna treat you like he did.
Oh, Whatever it takes.
You think history is repeated.
You keep on wishing me away.
Oh, but nothing’s gonna change.
Waiting for yesterday.

Feels like my life’s been passing by
With happiness just bein' a lie
How did I get here, where am I going?
One more day without knowing
Struggling for one more breath
As I’m drowning in a painful death
Can someone reach out for me?
In this dark and dreary sea

'Cause it seems like no one can
Hear the voice that’s calling
Try to take the most I can stand
But I keep falling

I try to chase the memories away
But they haunt me everyday
I hope I get over this phase
'Cause I’m stuck inside this haze
All I need is a simple lift
Such a sweet and precious gift
So I don’t lose it all before
What I have left is nothing more

In my isolating misery
I feel like the epitome
Of darkness and despair
Just leading onto nowhere
Will I be able to win this race?
I’m runnin' at a slow pace
Trying hard to press on
But the motivation’s gone

'Cause it seems like no one can
Hear the voice that’s calling
Try to take the most I can stand
But I keep falling

Oh

I try to chase the memories away
But they haunt me everyday
I hope I get over this phase
'Cause I’m stuck inside this haze
All I need is a simple lift
Such a sweet and precious gift
So I don’t lose it all before
What I have left is nothing more

It may not have to be this way
Waiting for me they could be a new day
Maybe I can revise
And escape from the lies

I try to chase the memories away
But they haunt me everyday
I hope I get over this phase
'Cause I’m stuck inside this haze
All I need is a simple lift
Such a sweet and precious gift
So I don’t lose it all before
What I have left is nothing more

There could be something more
To what my life may have in store
I’ll move from where I began
Keep on pressing through to the end

I remember the better days
Way before this mess we made
You were the keys to the car
Now I'm just trying to make it start
Can't you see these highs and lows
Take us down and slowly take their toll
Misguided I don't know
Where we're headed
Tell me now now cause

Round, round and round we go
When it stops
You say you don't know
But each time I try to stop this ride
You say it's not time

This heart
My dreams
I've been taken down too far it seems
So hold tight
Why not let me go
Why not let me go

So much I need to say
Then the truth gets in the way
You cry me another one
And watch my words just come undone
Can't you see these lows and highs
Tangled up separating all our ties
Misguided I can't find
A way back in so
Maybe it's goodbye.

Round, round and round we go
And when it stops
You say you don't know
But each time I try to stop this ride
You say it's not time

This heart
My dreams
I've been taken down too far it seems
So hold tight
Why not let me go
Why not let me go

When the bottom drops out
Then you think you got nowhere to go [in the cold]
But if you take a look around
You could really warm it up and you know [always told you so]

Round, round and round we go
And when it stops
You say you don't know
But each time I try to stop this ride
You say it's not time

This heart
My dreams
I've been taken down too far it seems
So hold tight
Why not let me go
Why not let me go

Round, round and round we go
When it stops
You say you don't know

Why not let me go
Why not let me go

Why not let me go
Why not let me go yea
Why not let me go

Sitting all alone in your room
Thinking that the world's let you down
All you ever wanted to do is trust
Someone to always be around

You've had a lot of lessons to learn from
Some of them hit you so hard
And I keep believing someday you'll see
You don't have to be alone

There's somebody out there, somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
Somebody to hold you, when worries control you
I'd give anything, if only you knew it was me

I've been watching you go through
All of these things for a while
There's gotta be a way to bring you back
'Cause it's worth when you smile

It doesn't have to hide you forever
It doesn't have to last too long
If you're wondering where to turn to
I hope that you know

There's somebody out there, somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
Somebody to hold you, when worries control you
I'd give anything, if only you knew it was me

I wanna be there when you're in need
I would never be long, if you were waiting
When you're gonna see?
If you could only see

There's somebody out there, somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
Somebody to hold you, when worries control you
I'd give anything, if only you knew it was me

Anything at all
I think it's time that you knew it was me
