The Show

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

Slow it down
Make it stop--
Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot
To be something I'm not

I'm a fool
Out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

The sun is hot
In the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs
And synchronize in time
It's a joke
Nobody knows
They've got a ticket to that show
Yeah

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go, can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show oh oh oh

Just enjoy the show oh oh oh

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show oh oh oh

Just enjoy the show

dum de dum
dudum de dum

Just enjoy the show

dum de dum
dudum de dum

Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back

Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back

Just enjoy the show

Bring Me Down

So, here we are again
Staring at the end of what we made and who we are
Never knowing when
One of us will break apart and walk the other way love
I don't know what to say love
I don't know how to stay when you won't
Let me be the person that I am

The writing's on the wall
There's nothing to say anymore
So I'll leave before I fall apart right back into your arms
The writing's on the wall
You gave nothing and I gave it all
But I want something better
And I won't let this burden bring me down

What are we to do
What are we to say to one another now we're through
Thanks for being you
Thanks for being all the things I had to say goodbye to
I'm over being lied to
I'm over being pushed into the
Person that you want me to become

The writing's on the wall
There's nothing to say anymore
So I'll leave before I fall apart right back into your arms
The writing's on the wall
You gave nothing and I gave it all
But I want something better
And I won't let this burden bring me down

Where did we go wrong
We let it go so long
But now there's no point turning back
Let's face the facts
The writing's on the wall

There's nothing to say anymore
So I'll leave before I fall apart right back into your arms
The writing's on the wall
You gave nothing and I gave it all
But I want something better
And I won't let this burden bring me
I won't let this burden bring me
I won't let this burden bring me down

 

Skip Along

So tired of feeling blue
Such a heavy weight on you
So shake it off and make your way to somewhere different
To somewhere different
Oh no now you're leaving me oh what will you do
All alone in the big bad world but I'm not worried, no

Cause you're gonna skip along
Quite merrily baby, you're gonna revel in hating what's going on
And you're like a sugar bomb
And no harm will come
No harm will come if you just skip along

Acting oblivious
Comes natural to us
Keep smiling knowing all the while the world will fall apart
The world will fall apart

Ah ah ahhh
So we're gonna skip along
Oh quite merrily baby we're gonna revel in hating what's going on
And you're like a sugar bomb
And no harm will come
No harm will come if you just skip along

Wouldn't it be lovely to be home, home
Safe and sound with no one round to bring us down but that's so far away

So I'm gonna skip along
Quite merrily baby, I'm gonna revel in hating what's going on
And I'm like a sugar bomb
And no harm will come
No harm will come if I just skip along

Yeah we are going to skip along
Quite merrily baby, we're gonna revel in hating what's going on
And yell out your sugar bomb, bomb, bomb
No harm with come
No harm with come if we just skip along
Skip along
Skip along
La de da
No harm with come if we just skip along
 

Don't Let Me Fall

Underneath the moon
Underneath the stars
Here's a little heart
For you
Up above the world
Up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to

But if i should break
If i should fall away
What am i to do
I need someone to take
A little of the weight
Or I'll fall through

You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall

Take a little time
Walk a little line
Got the balance right aha
Give a little love
Gimme just enough
So that i can hang on tight

We will be alright
I'll be by your side
I won't let you down
But i gotta know
No matter how things go
That you will be around

You're just the one that i've been waiting for
I'll give you all that i have to give and more
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall

Underneath the moon
Underneath the stars
Here's a little heart
For you
Up above the world
Up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to

You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall

You'll be the one that I'll love forever more
I'll be here holding you high above it all
But don't let me fall

Anything I'm Not

I will never be
I will never be tall
No
And I will never be
Never ever
Be sure of it all
Oh, why is the world
So cruel to me
When all
All I ever want to be
Is anything I'm not

Gimme a break
A little escape
I am so tired
Of being me
I wanna be free
I wanna be new
And different
Anything I'm not
I'm not

I will never be
I will never be you
No
I will always be
I will always be me
That I know
But oh
Even though
I'm happy being me
I want to get away
From all
This harsh reality
Oh

Gimme a break
A little escape
I am so tired
Of being me
I wanna be free
I wanna be new
And different
Anything I'm not

Of being me

And different
Anything I'm not

A little escape
I am so tired
Of being me
I wanna be free
I wanna be new
And different
Anything I'm not

Of being me
I wanna be free
I wanna be new
And different
Anything I'm not

Knock Knock

A second
A minute
An hour
A day goes by
I'm hopin'
Just to be by your side
I'm turnin'
The handle
It won't open
Don't make me wait
Cause right now
I need your smile
Knock knock

When life had locked me out
I turned to you
So open the door
'Cause you're all I need right now it's true
Nothin' works like you

Little louder
Little louder
Little louder knockin'
Little louder
Little louder

A warm bath
A good laugh
An old song
That you know by heart
I've tried it
But they all leave me cold
So now I'm
Here waiting
To see you,
My remedy
For all that's
Been hurting me.

When life had locked me out
I turned to you
So open the door
'Cause you're all I need right now it's true
Nothin' works like you

You seem to know the way
To turn my frown
Upside down
You always know what to say
To make me feel like everything's okay

Little louder
Little louder
Little louder knockin' (oh oh)
Little louder
Little louder
Little louder knockin'
Little louder
Little louder

When life had locked me out
I turned to you
And you open the door
'Cause you're all I need right now it's true
Nothin' works like you

When life had knocked me down
Well I turned to you
And you open the door
'Cause you're all I need right now it's true
Nothin' works like you

Little louder
Little louder
Little louder knockin'
Little louder
Little louder
Nothin' works like you, oh oh
Little louder knockin'
Little louder
Little louder
Little louder knockin'
Little louder
Little louder
Little louder knockin'

When life had locked me out
Well I turned to you
And you open the door
You're all I need right now it's true
Nothin' works like you

Dangerous and Sweet

It's difficult to see
From the surface
But everything goes in
And it stings
Like a spider
Hits you deep inside

I know that you are just like me
Oversensitive
We're an ordinary breed
Take it everything for much more than it means
Well it's dangerous
And it's sweet
Cut us and we bleed

All these words we speak
Casually
Oh maybe I'm just weak
But it hurts me
Everything you said
Everything you said
Everything you said
Well it cuts
Like a knife it hurts me deep inside

I know that you are just like me
Oversensitive
We're an ordinary breed
Take it everything for much more than it means
Well it's dangerous
And it's sweet
Cut us and we bleed

I should put on my armor
The next time I see you so I won't be harmed
But I know I can shoot my own arrows
I'm sorry I hurt you
I know that like me you can be
Oversensitive

Bah bah ba ba bah bah bah
Bah ba Bah bah bah
Bah Bah ba ba bah bah bah
Bah ba Bah bah bah

I know that you are just like me
Oversensitive
Where an ordinary breed,
Take it everything for much more than it means
Oh well it's dangerous
And it's sweet
Yeah it's dangerous and sweet
Don't you know it's dangerous
And it's sweet
Cut us and we bleed

Trouble Is a Friend

Trouble will find you
No matter where you go
Oh, oh
No matter if you're fast
No matter if you're slow
Oh, oh
The eye of the storm
wanna cry in the morn
Oh, oh
You're fine for a while
But you start
To lose control

He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend
Yeah
Trouble
Is a friend of mine
Ahh

Trouble is a friend
But trouble is a foe
Oh, oh
And no matter
What I feed him
He always seems to grow
Oh, oh
He sees what I see
And he knows
What I know
Oh, oh
So don't forget
As you ease
On down my road

He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend
Yeah
Trouble
Is a friend of mine
So don't be alarmed
If he takes you
By the arm
I won't let him win
But I'm a sucker for his charm
For his charm
Trouble is a friend
Yeah
Trouble
Is a friend of mine
Ahh

How I hate the way
He makes me feel
And how I try
To make him leave
I try
Oh, oh, I try

But he's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend
Yeah
Trouble
Is a friend of mine
So don't be alarmed
If he takes you
By the arm
I won't let him win
But I'm a sucker for his charm
For his charm
Trouble is a friend
Yeah
Trouble
Is a friend of mine
Ahh

Ooh
Ahh
Ooh

Live Like You're Dying

One of these days you'll be
under the covers, you'll be
under the table and you'll realize.

That all of your days are numbered;
all of them one to one hundred.
All of them millions.
All of them trillions.
So what are you gonna do with them all?
You can not trade them in for more...

No no

Take every moment; you know that you own them.
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you.

Give me a reason to
fight the feeling
that there's nothing here for me.

Cause none of its easy,
I know it wasn't meant to be.
I know it's all up to me.
It's all up to me.
So what am I gonna do with my time?

Oooh

Ill take every moment, I know that I own them.
It's all up to you to do whatever you choose.

Live like you're dying and never stop trying.
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you.

All of the moments you didn't notice;
gone in the blink of an eye.
And all of the feelings you could have feelen,
no matter how you try.

Oh oh

Take every moment; you know that you own them.
It's all up to you,
to do whatever you choose.

Live like you're dying and never stop trying.
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you.

Live like you're dying and never stop trying.
It's all up to you, use what's been given to you.

Oh oh

Like a Song

I can't forget you when you're gone
You're like a song
That goes around in my head
And how I regret
It's been so long
Oh what went wrong
Could it be something I said
Time, make it go faster
Or just rewind
To back when I'm wrapped in your arms

Ahoooh

Dum da di da
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum da da di dum
Da di dum dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum
Da da da dum la da da di da dum

All afternoon long
It's with me
The same song
You left a light on
Inside me
My love

I can remember
The way that it felt
To be holding on to you

Da dum da da di dum
Ooh dum di dum

Chorus

Time
Make it go faster
Or just decide
To come back to my happy heart.

Ahooh oh

We Will Not Grow Old

You and me will be lying side by side
Forever, forever
Underneath this adolescent sky
Together, together
And you will hold my heart inside your hand
And You'll be the one, the one to tell me

Oh, we've got a long, long way to go
To get there
We'll get there
But oh, if there's one thing that we know
It's that we will not grow old

I made you swear that our hearts will never die
No never, no never
Cause no one seems to believe that we can fly
Forget them, forget them
Oh, you told me

Oh, we've got a long, long way to go
To get there
We'll get there
But oh, if there's one thing that we know
It's that we will not grow old

Oh, we've got a long, long way to go
To get there
Yeah we'll get there
But oh, if there's one thing that we know
It's that we will not grow old

Oh, how could we know that day?
It came with age
That oh, feeling would fade

Oh, we've got a long, long way to go
To get there
We'll get there
But oh, if there's one thing that we know
It's that we will not grow old

Oh, we've got a long, long way to go
To get there
Yeah we'll get there
But oh, if there's one thing that we know
It's that we will not grow old

We will not grow old
We won't grow old
No, no, we will not grow old
Oh no, we will not grow old
We will not grow old

Force of Nature

You move
A little closer
You feel
The force of nature
We touch
And something charges
The air
You look into my eyes
And you
Can't look away
It's no surprise
I planned it
Out this way
And now I know

Ah, a-whoo
You're
Completely bewitched
Caught under my spell
Ah, a-whoo
Completely bewitched
Your body
Will tell you
What to do

It's sorcery the way
I draw you to me
So don't try
To struggle
You are captured
In my web
Just like
A voodoo doll
I make you move
'Cause I know
What I like
And I like you

Ah, a-whoo
You're
Completely bewitched
Caught under my spell
Ah, a-whoo
Completely bewitched
Your body
Will tell you
What to do

Ah, a-whoo
You're
Completely bewitched
Caught under my spell
Ah, a-whoo
Completely bewitched
Your body
Will tell you
What to do

Now close your eyes
And surrender
To the moment
Reach out your hand
And touch me
I am your gravity

Ah, a-whoo
You're
Completely bewitched
Caught under my spell
Ah, a-whoo
Completely bewitched
Your body
Will tell you
What to do
