Guster - Ooh La La Lyrics



  1. This Heart Is Occupied
  2. When We Were Stars
  3. All Day
  4. My Kind
  5. Keep Going
  6. Gauguin, Cézanne (Everlasting Love)
  7. Witness Tree
  8. Black Balloon
  9. The Elevator
  10. Maybe We're Alright

This Heart Is Occupied


We skipped our feet down Winter Street
+
In fuzzy gold street light
+
We are not young but still need fun
+
Twice in a lifetime
+
But your cup is full
+
And your heart is occupied
+
But is that the truth?
+
Who's ever satisfied?
+
Nothing's pure as something new
+
A perfect sheet of white
+
With clarity we can part these seas
+
Just once in a lifetime
+
But your plate is full
+
And your heart is occupied
+
We chase down this thrill
+
The cat and the butterfly
+
And then you gesture with the slightest intention
+
The colors swim into a perfect collection
+
Your eyes go wide
+
That's why you came here tonight my love
+
And I, I don't really mind
+
Atoms crash with weight and mass
+
Through dangerous timelines
+
Heat and light make dynamite
+
The fight of a lifetime
+
But my aim is true
+
And my heart is occupied
+
You're in here too
+
Cause I know you realize, love
+
I feel you bristle at the slightest connection
+
As if it's fated on a course of correction
+
Our blood beats wild
+
Why don't you just stay the night my love?
+
Cause I, I don't really mind
+
Love, it's been a long, long, long time
+
A moment to shine, shine, shine, shine
+
Cause it's been a long, long, long time
+
A moment to shine, shine, shine, shine
+
Shine!
+

When We Were Stars


Do you remember Montreal?
+
We made last call at the bar
+
They spoke to you in French and me in English
+
Well I remember holding on
+
And how we stayed up till the sun
+
"Harvest Moon" played on forever
+
Hey babe it's alright
+
Everything in it's own time
+
I cross my heart and hope to die
+
And take a trip to another life
+
Back when we were stars
+
When we were stars
+
We're stoned by the lake
+
You called me his name by mistake
+
What a funny way to break us open
+
But I'm not laughing not this time
+
Keep your secrets, I'll keep mine
+
Lovers turning back to strangers
+
Which one is that lullaby
+
Where everything is gonna be alright?
+
I cross my heart and hope to die
+
And take a trip to another life
+
Back when we were stars
+
When we were stars
+
Come back to me
+
Come back to me
+
This is a bad one
+
Stay close to me, stay close to me
+
I surrender
+
How did we get so far from back when we were stars?
+
How did we get so far from back when we were stars?
+
How did we get so far from back when we were stars?
+
How did we get so far from back when we were stars?
+
Come back to me
+
Come back to me
+
How did we get so far?
+
Back when we were stars
+
Stay close to me
+
Stay close to me I surrender
+

All Day


Whispered devotions
+
Our bodies in motion
+
We laid our hands in mud and made bricks for a temple
+
Wrote our names in the clay
+
Time went like water
+
A son and a daughter
+
Frame by frame defined by moment in moments
+
The wings of a bird
+
The tongue of a snake
+
So we've come this far
+
If we sit and wait
+
Well we got all day
+
All day
+
Those weathered devotions
+
Are not magic potions
+
The stains remain and remind us of monument moments
+
In the bricks of our temple
+
Our names still in clay
+
It was there that I told you
+
Well we've come this far
+
So let's sit and wait
+
Cause we got all day
+
All day
+
Just like I told you
+
Forever I'd hold you
+
It's been half our lives
+
And it's made me great
+
And we've got all day
+
Yeah we got all day
+
All day
+
Just like I told you
+

My Kind


God I'm afraid
+
Every little thing's got me spinning out
+
I tell you you're safe
+
Shine a bit of light in the underground
+
Tell you you're my kind
+
Tell you you're my kind
+
Hold my hand until you're up and steady
+
Hold my head until you're up and ready
+
Cause I know what's next
+
I can see the twist of the final act
+
Puff out my chest
+
Punch drunk hero in a paperback
+
Tell you you're my kind
+
Tell you you're my kind
+
Hold my hand until you're up and steady
+
Hold my head until you're up and ready
+
Hold my hand until you're up and steady
+
Nothing ever comes from nothing
+
And oh you're my kind!
+
Come and tell me you're my kind
+
Come and tell me you're my kind
+
Come and tell me you're my kind
+
Come and tell me you're my kind
+
Come and tell me you're my kind
+
Come and tell me you're my kind
+
Hold my hand until I'm up and steady
+
Hold my head until I'm up and ready
+
Hold my hand until I'm up and steady

Keep Going


I bought a ticket but the train didn't stop
+
Ended up walking all the way singing "Ooh La La"
+
I made it home and put the radio loud
+
Was just static but still turned me on
+
Well the world brought us here
+
If we let it now all good things reappear
+
It's ok I'm alright
+
It's ok I'm alright
+
Keep going
+
Keep going
+
To the light
+
It's ok I'm alright
+
It's ok I'm alright
+
Slow motion on a video tape
+
We had magic, it still turns me on
+
And at the end of this dark night
+
Which way to go
+
I may just take a walk to the bright side, the bright side
+
Well the world brought us here
+
If we let it now, all good things reappear
+
It's ok I'm alright
+
It's ok I'm alright
+
Keep going
+
Keep going
+
To the light
+
It's ok I'm alright
+
It's ok I'm alright
+
Keep going

Gauguin, Cézanne (Everlasting Love)


We found acid on the museum lawn
+
Waited an hour till the feelings came on
+
The girl at the gate: "Sir, Is there something wrong?"
+
Gauguin, Cezanne
+
The Richmond Bridge dropped out of the fog
+
The redwood towers scattered their song
+
This is the closest I have felt to God
+
Wax off, wax on
+
Just for a moment everlasting love
+
Just for a sip of everlasting love
+
The hostel was quiet
+
The ceiling calm
+
The tiny fairies had all gone home
+
Is there anyone here at all?
+
Check-check-check-check-check microphone
+
Just for a moment everlasting love
+
Just for a taste of everlasting love
+
Sit on the cliff everlasting love
+
Just for a moment everlasting love
+
Just for a moment everlasting love
+
Just for a moment everlasting love

Witness Tree


I had a vision
+
I heard a boom in the sky
+
I heard a voice from the other side
+
She said to me,
+
"We're built of opposites-wild and bold extremes"
+
A rise and fall
+
Now a jubilee
+
We built the world this far but it's not the world we need
+
Tell me witness tree
+
Tell me what you see
+
Tell me what you see
+
It's rotten, forgotten, abandoned
+
When will she return?
+
Roots in the ether, dig deeper
+
Ophelia's madness will return
+
She spoke to me
+
Said, "We're built of opposites-wild and bold extremes"
+
A rise and fall
+
And now a jubilee
+
We built a world this far but it's not the world we need
+
Tell me witness tree
+
Tell me what you see
+
Tell me what you see
+
Tell me what you see
+
It's rotten

The Elevator


Boy, I know who you are
+
Your skin is my skin as your blood is my blood
+
Nothing's wrong
+
It's just a celebration
+
I can't just keep them waiting
+
I'll miss you when I'm gone
+
Let me go
+
Here comes the elevator
+
I hoped I'd never say it
+
But I'll miss you when I'm gone
+
Girl, I feel where you're coming from
+
Pure imagination, you're love made of love
+
Fourth of July plays in my mind
+
Gunpowder sky burned in blue red and white
+
Ashes to ashes and dust gone to dust
+
Nothing's wrong
+
It's just a celebration
+
I can't just keep them waiting
+
Gonna miss you when I'm gone
+
Let me go
+
Here comes the elevator
+
I hoped I'd never say it
+
Gonna miss you when I'm gone

Maybe We're Alright


Miles and miles go by from this window seat
+
The lies we tell ourselves just to fall asleep
+
It's hard to know exactly when it changed
+
WIth all the puzzle pieces out of place
+
Everything that's good will come again
+
They had their time but now it's over
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
Maybe we're alright ba-ba-ba-bah
+
We're just one day older
+
Surprise, surprise
+
Chasing fireflies as the sky turned gray
+
Trapped in mason jars as they flash and fade
+
The church around the corner has a sign
+
"The end is near but help is right inside"
+
Whatever gets you through the night
+
They had their time but now it's over
+
You've got to take a photograph over your shoulder
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
Maybe we're alright ba-ba-ba-bah
+
We're just one day older
+
Surprise, surprise
+
Surprise, surprise
+
Just close your eyes
+
Miles and miles go by
+
Miles and miles go by
+
Maybe we're alright
+
Maybe we're alright
+
Maybe we're alright
+
Maybe we're alright
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
We're alright.

Everything that's good will come again
+
They had their time but now it's over
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
Maybe we're alright ba-ba-ba-bah
+
We're just one day older
+
Surprise, surprise
+
Chasing fireflies as the sky turned gray
+
Trapped in mason jars as they flash and fade
+
The church around the corner has a sign
+
"The end is near but help is right inside"
+
Whatever gets you through the night
+
They had their time but now it's over
+
You've got to take a photograph over your shoulder
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
Maybe we're alright ba-ba-ba-bah
+
We're just one day older
+
Surprise, surprise
+
Surprise, surprise
+
Just close your eyes
+
Miles and miles go by
+
Miles and miles go by
+
Maybe we're alright
+
Maybe we're alright
+
Maybe we're alright
+
Maybe we're alright
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
Bah ba-ba-ba-bah
+
We're alright.
