Visions Album Lyrics by Norah Jones

All This Time

All this time, all this time
All this time, I think of you
I think of you
Stay with me, I'll make it easy
I'll make it easy

I think of you
I think of you

Flashes of you in white-hot heat
A moment in time, let's make it sweet
Show me how to dream, show me how to forgive
'Cause you made me love and you made me live

All this time, all this time
All this time, I think of you
I think of you

Stay with me (flashes of you in white-hot heat)
Stay with me (a moment in time, let's make it sweet)
Stay with me, I'll make it easy
I'll make it easy
I'll make it easy, I'll-

Staring at the Wall

Sometimes the truth seems simple in my mind
Said out loud makes me feel left behind
Just gotta thank my lucky stars tonight
Just gonna fake it till I make it right

Devil watches every step I take
Messin' with the moves I'm tryin' to shake
Every day we do God's little dance
Never knowing when to take a chance

Money makes things seem so out of whack
Drive away in my blue Cadillac
Wheels are spinning out here on this ice
Need someone to hug me real nice

Walk in the room, staring at the wall
And I wonder what I came in for at all
Need to travel out of my own brain
It's hard to get in rhythm with this pain

Someone tell me what the hell is wrong
Nights always feel quiet and too long

---

Paradise

Take me back to paradise
I could make the sacrifice
I'm trying to save you
What else is there left to learn?
Watching all these fires burn
I'm waiting, it's true

I watch you fall, I try to stop
Waiting for the pain to drop
I know I've got to let you go again
Although, I never wanted this to end
I know it's time to let you go

Find a place to calm your mind
I'll take yours and you take mine
I'm begging you, please
Conversations, pleading
Hearts are always beating
I'm down on my knees

I watch you fall, I try to stop
Waiting for the pain to drop
I know I've got to let you go again
Although, I never wanted this to end
I know it's time to let you go

I watch you fall, I try to stop
Waiting for the pain to drop
I know I've got to let you go again
Although, I never wanted this to end
I know it's time to let you go

Queen of the Sea

If I was the queen of the sea
And came upon you suddenly
Would love really set us both free?
It's so hard to receive what could finally be

Two hearts can be beating in bloom
Though not even in the same room
And I was a lover, it's true
Though I feel like a fool
I'm a lover of you

I forgot myself
Did you take the breath out of me?
I forgot to lose myself
And now we're just tragic thieves playing make believe

If you were the king of the gloom
And found me stuck in my doom
Would we turn away from the graves
Of mistakes that we've made?
Trying not to resume and go boom

You forgot yourself
And darkness explodes out of me
I forgot to tell myself
That love isn't too far to reach
If your heart is set free, ooh

If time wouldn't move so fast
And life could last and last
Would everyone stay in the game
That they saved or complain?
Or escape on a train? Ooh

Oh, we forgot ourselves
And lost what it means to believe
We forgot to hold ourselves
And you made a mess out of me
But I'm finally free, ooh

Oh, you've made a mess out of me
But I'm finally free, ooh
Oh, you made a mess out of me
But I'm finally free, ooh

Visions

Visions in my head of running from your bed
And I don't believe I'll make it to mine
I hear a hallelujah and I swear it's coming through you
And I can't believe I knew the first time

We met under the willow tree
You stood in front of me

Now I don't like surprises but lookin' in your eyes
Is coming at me wise like a freight train
And I'm afraid your rain is gonna fall and wash me away

Visions in my head and everyone is dead
And I don't believe I'll wake up this time
It's time to say goodbye to your world
It's time to say goodbye

---

Running

From the first time I felt the click in my heart
I keep running, oh, I keep running away
Try to sleep but the aching tears me apart
I keep running, oh, I keep running away
Oh, am I wasting the day?
I keep running, oh, I keep running away
Oh, does it hurt me to stay?
I keep running, oh, 'cause I don't wanna pay

Stars shine but start to fade in the light
Love is blind, could be wrong or it could be right
In a bind telling myself it's for you

For you
Running and running
Running and running
Running and running
Hey, hey, hey, hey
For you
Running and running
Running and running
Running and running
Hey, hey

In the night the devil knocks on my door
I keep running, oh, I keep running away
Another life and the same thing happened before
I keep running, oh, I keep running away
Oh, and he begs me to stay
I keep running, oh, I keep running away
Oh, will he take me away?
I keep running, oh, 'cause I don't wanna pay

Stars shine but start to fade in the light
Love is blind, could be wrong or it could be right
In a bind telling myself it's for you

For you
Running and running
Running and running
Running and running
Hey, hey, hey, hey
For you
Running and running
Running and running
Running and running
Hey, hey, hey, hey
For you
Running and running
Running and running
Running and running
Hey, hey

I Just Wanna Dance

I don't want to talk about it
I just wanna dance, oh
I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance, oh
I just wanna dance, oh
Oh, I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance

I don't wanna laugh about it
I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance, oh
I just wanna dance
Oh, I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
Oh, I just wanna dance
Oh, I just wanna dance, oh

I don't want to talk about it
I just wanna dance

I'm Awake

Remember when I lost control?
I lost my soul, I'm finally awake
There were times when I lost my mind
But now I'm fine, I'm finally awake
Stuck in your sadness, swallowed me away
But I'm finally awake
The thumping in the walls is the beat of my own heart
But I'm finally awake, now I'm finally awake

How do you know what is real?

When it rains it bleeds, when it bleeds it pours
But I'm finally awake
You pushed me in the moment I deserved
But I'm finally awake, now I'm finally awake
Now heaven looks like a fancy restaurant
And I'm finally awake

How do you know what is real?
Now I'm finally awake

Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright, it'll be alright

Fly your kite all your life
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
It'll be alright

Swept Up in the Night

I was swept up in the night
Someone's arms who'd held me tight
Can't explain the dance or dream
What I felt was quite extreme

Traveled to the furthest place
Can't recall the perfect face
I need you so

You tried to take me but I stopped
Before we reached the very top
Can't explain, I can't describe
Many colors burning bright

Wings of god before my eyes
I stare but never act surprised
I need you so

Somewhere in the mist
There's a place where we don't exist
Never find our way back home

In the deep of quiet nights
Never knowing what is right
Does my heart feel young and free?
Never dreamed that this could be

And I find you a thousand times
Underneath the stones in my mind
I need you so

Somewhere in the mist
There's a place where we don't exist
Never find our way back home

For if I fall
I could fly from the top of this great, great wall
Never find our way back home

I was swept up in the night
Someone's arms who'd held me tight
Can't explain the dance or dream
What I felt was quite extreme

Traveled to the furthest place
Can't recall the perfect face
I need you so

On My Way

Stop and stare, breathe the air
No one cares what you have to say
Solitude makes me rude
But in time, we all laugh and play

I'm on my way, I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way, I'm on my way

Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Don't be shy (don't be shy)
In the dark, you can dance and sway
Float up high, past the sky (high, high, high, high)
When the night falls, I'll come and stay

I'm on my way, I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way, I'm on my way

Shelter me into the sea
I'll find my way back home, back home
Only give me what my heart can't handle, please, my dear

In the dark, dark, you don't have to be afraid
Oh, in the night, night, you can learn to laugh and play
In the light, light, you can face another day
We'll make it right, right, don't you know I'm on my way

In the dark, dark you don't have to be afraid (I'm on my way, I'm on my way)
Oh, in the night, night, you can learn to scream and pray (I'm on my way)
In the light, light, you can face another day (I'm on my way, I'm on my way)
We'll make it right, right, don't you know I'm on my way (I'm on my way)

Alone with My Thoughts

Let's try a test
Through space and through time
I'll whisper your name
It'll bounce down the line
Slowly explode into showers of shine

To love from a distance, through waves of the air
To know your sadness, your joy and your fears
Are running around without me to be near

Alone with my thoughts, with my thoughts, I'm alone
I toil away and distract in a song
I'll send you a prayer and a piece of home
My love is for you, ooh
My love is for you, ooh

---

That's Life

You get up, you fall down
You get up, you fall down
Down, down, down again

You wake up to sweet sounds
You forget, you calm down
Down, down, down again
Down, down, down again

That's life, that's life, that's life, that's life
That's life, that's life, that's life, that's life

You get lost, you get found
You find love, come unwound
Talk too much, hit the ground
You break up, you break down
Down, down, down again
Ooh, down again
Down again

That's life, that's life, that's life, that's life
That's life, that's life, that's life, that's life
That's life, that's life, that's life, that's life
That's life, that's life, that's life, that's life

Li-li-li-li-life, li-li-li-li-life
Li-li-li-li-life, li-li-li-li
Li-li-li-li-life, li-li-li-li-life
Li-li-li-li-li-li-life

That's life, that's life
That's life, that's life
That's life, that's life
That's life, that's life

You get up, you fall down
Down, down, down again
