1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and
1 and 2 and 3 and 4

I was writing
Thinking with my long hand
Flippin the paper
Everything was sinking
In start to wonder
How you gonna handle me?
Swimming in the dark sea

Everybody wants you to make
Its all yours
Everybody wants to take
Its all yours
Everybody wants you to make
Its all yours
Everybody wants to T-t-t-take it

Can you feel all the love
Can you feel all the love?
Can you feel all the love
Can you feel all the love?
Like it was Made for you!
Like it was made for you...

Tell me something
Something that can move me
Dont tell me lies
I swear your gonna lose me
Big like an ocean
Jealous of the fish it feeds
Your devotion
Swimming inside of me

Everybody wants you to make
Its all yours
Everybody wants to take
Its all yours
Everybody wants you to make
Its all yours
Everybody wants to T-t-t-take it
[Can you feel all the love
Can you feel all the love?
Can you feel all the love
Can you feel all the love?]

Like it was Made for you!
Like it was made for you...

Can you feel
Can you feel?
Can you feeeel?

All the right friends in all the right places
All the right moves and all the right faces
All the right friends in all the right places
All the right moves and all the right faces
[Can you feel all the love]
All the right friends in all the right places
All the right moves and all the right faces
[Can you feel all the love]
All the right friends in all the right places
All the right moves and all the right faces

. . .


All the right friends in all the right place
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down

Let's paint the picture of the perfect place
We got it better than what anyone's told you
There'll be the king of hearts and you're the queen of spades
And we'll fight for you like we were your soldier
I know we drawn it good, but they got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I don't think I'm looking up, but soon they'll take us down
Before anybody's knowing our name

They got all the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
Everybody knows, everybody knows where were going
Yeah, we're going down
Said everybody knows, everybody knows where were going
Yeah, we're going down

Do you think I'm special, do you think I'm nice
Am I bright enough to shine in your space
Between the noise you hear and the sound you like
We just sinking in the ocean of faces
It can't be possible, the rain can fall
Only when it's over right here
The sun is shining everyday but its far away
Over the world they say, they got

They got all the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
Everybody knows, everybody knows where were going
Yeah, we're going down
Said everybody knows, everybody knows where were going
Yeah, we're going down

It don't matter what you see
I know I could never be
Someone that'll look like you
It don't matter what you say
I know I could never face
Someone that can sound like you

All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down

All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
Everybody knows, Everybody knows where were going
Yeah, we're going down
Said everybody knows, Everybody knows where were going
Yeah, we're going down

Yeah, we're going down
Yeah, we're going down
All the right moves, yeah
Yeah, we're going down
All the right moves, hey
Yeah, we're going down

I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til' all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw wink, no
I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My god, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Singing straight, too cold
I don't really like my flow, no, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got not shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'mma tell you everything

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away, All my secrets away

. . .


Hail Ceasar shadow on my backseat
And her friends are standing right in front of me
World wide from the center burning turkey (?)
Open up said Everybody loves me

And you don't have to make a sound
Cause they got what you need
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Gotta love all the people that have warned you
Gotta love all your sentimental virtue
Eight balls with the takers that'll make you
Lay cards with the lovers that'll hate you

Cause you don't have to make a sound
They got what you need
What you need
Like you say

Oh my!
Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good i might die
All i know is everybody loves me
Get down,
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All i know is everybody loves me
Everybody loves me

Well I
Play the music don't stop till i turn gray
Stars Forever like John Sousa never fade,
He had a beautiful child, named her Desiree
Hope I'll remember the good things that i'll never say

Cause you don't have to make a sound
They got what you need
Like you say

Oh my!
Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good i might die
All i know is everybody loves me
Get down,
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All i know is everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Everybody
Everybody
Oh
Everybody
Everybody

Don't need my health
Got my name and got my wealth I
Stare at the sun
Just for kicks all by myself I
Lose track of time
So I might be past my prime
But
I'm feeling oh so good
YEAH!

Oh my!
Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good i might die
All i know is everybody loves me
Get down,
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All i know is everybody loves me
Everybody loves me!
Don't you know you wanna
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody
WHOOOOA! YEAH!

. . .


Used to come around here everyday
Now you're breaking
Used to be the one that is not ashamed
Now you shaming

Lost in all the wars we fought
Never saw a road
Now that I think about you in the skies
I'd turn my row

And I wonder where you are
Now I wonder where you are

Take yourself down, pick yourself up
Everything changed when you got along
7 point 1 took it all down
Suddenly you can't even be found
I said, "All night long"

A missing person's in the window
Staring at me, saying things I can't hear
A missing person's in the window
Staring at me, haven't seen them in years

First things first, second in command
Right as I'm trying to change my plan
Second gonna die, oh, he can't breathe
Everybody's staring straight at me

You spend it all chasing those lies
I don't really wanna take that chance
I don't really wanna do that dance
I don't know what to do till you say

Oh, I don't wanna let you go
But I can't keep holding on
Skies of silver, stars of gold
And now you know just what you like

So far this love is all I have
So far this hurt is all I have

Missing person at the window
Missing person at the window
A missing person at the window
Missing person at the window, yeah

I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are, wonder where you

. . .


[Verse 1:]
Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

[Chorus:]
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

[Verse 2:]
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

[Bridge 1:]
When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

[Bridge 2:]
Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

. . .


Six on the second hand
Two New Year's resolutions
And there's just no question
What this man should do

Take all the time lost
All the days that I cost
Take what I took and
Give it back to you

All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time
I was waiting for you

We got all these words
Can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you

I don't know what day it is
I had to check the paper
I don't know the city
But it isn't home

But you say I'm lucky
To love something that loves me
But I'm torn as I could be
Wherever I roam, hear me say

All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time
I was waiting for you

We got all these words
Can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you

Yeah, all running back to you
All running back to you, yeah

Oh, every time is so far
It's just so far
To get back to where you are

All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time
I was waiting for you

We got all these love
Can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you

I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you, yeah
Straight in a straight line
Running back to you

. . .


No sleep today
Can't even rest when the sun's down
No time, there's not enough
And nobody's watching me now

When we were children we'd play
Out in the streets just dipped in fate
When we were children we'd say
That we don't know the meaning of

Fear, fear, fear
Fear, fear, fear
We don't know the meaning of

When we were children we'd play
Out in the streets just dipped in fate
When we were children we'd say
That we don't know the meaning of

Fear, fear, fear
Fear, fear, fear
We don't know the meaning of

Wish I didn't know the meaning of

. . .


I found verity on Nolan's Avenue
Down where the air is thick as L.A. skies are blue
The water tried to break it down but it held through
It gave a little for the sake of staying true

We cut ties, we tell lies, we hate change
And we wanna claim where we feel
We take toes, we rake yours, yeah, we dig holes
And we're digging right in your fears

We're waking up, we're waking up
And right on time, and right on time
We'll take these roads, we'll break them up
And right on time, and right on time

We got cars, we write laws, we won't pause
Don't you know we're always working this hard?
We don't lose, we might bruise, yeah
But we'll rain fire on you till you're playing all of your cards

We're waking up, we're waking up
And right on time, and right on time
We'll take these roads, we'll break them up
And right on time, and right on time

On time, right on time
Waking up, waking up, yeah
Ooh, oh, ooh

. . .


For those days we felt like a mistake,
Those times when love's what you hate
Somehow
We keep marchin on

For those nights that i couldn't be there,
I've made it harder to know that you know
That somehow
We'll keep movin on

Theres so many wars we fought
Theres so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We're marchin on
We're marchin on

For all of the plans we made
There isn't a flag I'd wave
Don't care where we've been
I'd sink us to swim
We're marchin on
We're marchin on

For those doubts that swirl all around us
For those lives that tear at the seams
We know
Were not what we've seen

Oh
For this dance we move with each other
There aint no other step
Than one foot
Right in front of the other
Oh

Theres so many wars we fought
Theres so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We're marchin on
We're marchin on

For all of the plans we made
There isn't a flag I'd wave
Don't care where we've been
I'd sink us to swim
We're marchin on
We're marchin on

Right Right Right Right Left
Right Right Right Right Left
Right Right Right Marchin On

We'll have the days we break
And we'll have the scars to prove it
We'll have the bomb that we saved
And we'll have the heart
Not to lose it

For all of the times we fought
For all of the things i'm not

Oh!
You put one foot in front of the other
We go where we go we're marchin on
Marchin on

Theres so many wars we fought
Theres so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We're marchin on
We're marchin on
Right Right Right Right Left
Right Right Right Right Left
Marchin On
Marchin on

. . .


Days feel hard earned
Night grows longer
Summer says its goodbyes
And darkness covers
We find shelter
Our own place to hide

Oh
As the light goes out
Thoughts turn to angels
Over us
Oh
As the night comes in
Dreams start their drifting
And you hear
A lullaby
Ooooooh
A lullaby
You and I

Trees touch windows
Say their hellos
We hear this house as it settles in
Worry slips away
It don't know your name
It don't know where to find us

Oh
As the light goes out
Thoughts turn to angels
All around us
Oh
As the night comes in
Dreams start their drifting
And we hear
A lullaby
A lullaby
You and I
You and I

Ooooooooooh

. . .


I saw your face, stuck in a crowd
Silently screaming out loud
I felt the beat echo your heart
Throw me a line cuz its too far

All that you want, all that you see
All that you thought that you believe

Is it enough? Do you think its too much?
You say you only trust what you can touch

All you got to do is reach out for it

All that you want
Is standing right in front of you
All that you need
Is love....
All that you want
Is standing right in front of you
All that you need
Is love...

Up to the ledge, put out my hands
Get to the bones of where i'd land
Trade in my fears, trade in my thoughts
They disappear behind your walls

All that i want, all that i need
All that i thought i believed
Was it enough? Sure not too much?
Now youre the only thing that i can trust

All i got to do is reaach out for it

All that you want
Is standing right in front of you
All that you need
Is love....
All that you want
Is standing right in front of you
All that you need
Is love...

(Instrumental)

Its all for you...
Its all for you...

(Piano)

. . .


Oh I tried to get to you
Pushed in the end to break me through
I tried with all I had
You left me standing empty handed

Well times has passed
Nothing ever lasts

So now you confess that you need me
And now you release what you're feeling
But how is this suppose to ever be the same

Oh it's a shame
It's a shame X2
Yeaa

You got the best of me
Got me a reason
Got me on my knees yea
My love I lost my pride
Searching for something I couldn't find

Well time apart has brought a change of heart

And now you confess that you need me
And now you release what you're feeling
But how is this suppose to ever be the same

Oh it's a shame
It's a shame X2
Yeaa

You got the best of me
I said love got the best of me
Saying you got the best of me
And I'm afraid it will never be the same

Oh it's a shame
It's a shame X4

. . .


You say you’re a minute from the deep end
They cut cold the courtesy, its sink or swim now
And your body’s aching for a breath, I’ll give it to ya
With a trapt door to take care of all of them

Come away, come away now
You won’t stand from afar
When you hear me sayin
Come away, come away now
Cause you’re too close for me to call

I’ve seen the foolish shame the wise
You just kept quiet with his own surprises
And your Trojan horse is big enough to save them all
And you’re not a foolish one at all

Come away, come away now
You won’t stand from afar
When you hear me sayin
Come away, come away now
Cause you’re too close for me to call

Lost to found, do you know
You’re the victim of…

Kick-slide your pose, let it go
You don’t need them
Only flesh, blood, and bones

We’re the same, you and I
Far too young to die

Come away, come away now
You won’t stand from afar
When you hear me sayin
Come away, come away now
Cause you’re too close for me to call

. . .


Push & pull me closer
Habit forming, you should stay far away

Colored caffeine, magic
Lights my night im aware of my face, too late

After all is said and done,
i am not the one,
i am not the one.

After all is said and done,
you are still the one,
you are still the one.

(oohhh)

Perfect measured pieces,
fit together you and i,
hey bright eyes.

Dont deny my weakness,
your the jaded,
im the strength right behind you
Behind you

After all is said and done,
i am not the one,
i am not the one.

After all is said and done,
you are still the one,
you are still the one.

(oooh, ooh)
(whoaaa-a-a-a, oohh, ohh oh oh)

After all is said and done,
i am not the one,
i am not the one.

After all is said and done,
you are still the one,
you are still the one.

(oohhh, oh oh oh. oooo, ooooo)

(oohhh, oh oh oh.. ooo,ooo)
