Light Me Up

Well you're not what I was looking for
But your arms were open at my door
And you taught me what a life is for
To see that ordinary, isn't

Light me up again
Light me up again

And I want to keep us all alive
And I want to see you with my eyes
But I see you in the fireflies
And how extraordinary is that

Light me up again
Light me up again

And you don't hold back
So I won't hold back
And you don't look back
So I won't look back

Light me up again
Light me up again

We are, we are, we are tonight
We are, we are, we are forever
We are, we are, we are tonight
We are, we are, we are forever

We are, we are, we are tonight
We are, we are, we are forever
We are, we are, we are tonight
We are, we are, we are forever

And you don't hold back
So I won't hold back
And you don't look back
So I won't look back

Light me up again
Light me up again

And you don't hold back
So I won't hold back
And you don't look back
So I won't look back

Light me up again
Light me up again
Light me up again
Light me up again

We are, we are, we are tonight
We are, we are, we are forever
We are, we are, we are tonight
We are, we are, we are forever

Whole Lot Of Heart

You said there's something about the moon
It rose too soon
And we're doing what we should
You said it's life that moves too much
We're losing touch
But I'm not losing you

There's a whole lot of heart in me
I feel it under my skin
And I know and I know and I know
There's a whole lot of heart in me
It takes a whole lot of heart to see
Everything's coming down roses
And I know and I know and I know
There's a whole lot of heart in me

There's a whole lot of heart in me

I said we've walked this way before
Now we know more
So raise a cup
I said "Let's rule this kingdom now
Let's live and love and tear it down
To build it up"

There's a whole lot of heart in me
I feel it under my skin
And I know and I know and I know
There's a whole lot of heart in me
It takes a whole lot of heart to see
Everything's coming down roses
And I know and I know and I know
There's a whole lot of heart in me

Let it go
To let it in
Let it in
Let it in
Let it go

Let it go
To let it in
To let it in
Let it in
Let it go

You let it go
To let it in

And I know and I know and I know
There's a whole lot of heart in me
There's a whole lot of heart in me
I feel it under my skin
And I know and I know and I know
There's a whole lot of heart in me
It takes a whole lot of heart to see
Everything's coming down roses
And I know and I know and I know
There's a whole lot of heart in me
There's a whole lot of heart in me
And I know and I know and I know
And I know and I know and I know
And I know and I know and I know
And I know and I know and I know
And I know and I know and I know
And I know and I know and I know

Miss America

I'm always making up my own time
I'm never where you want me to be
I'm always coloring inside of the lines
I'll never be the girl on TV
If I have my chances then men choose me

I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
It's not the way I always wanted to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
Despite my mama she told me
"Girl, there's so many ways to be beautiful"
(Beautiful, beautiful)

I'm always crashing into something
I'm always waking up the party
I'm the one whose always singing
Louder than the rest, louder than the others
Louder than the rest, louder than the others

I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
It's not the way I always wanted to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
Despite my mama she told me
"Girl, there's so many ways to be beautiful"
(Beautiful, beautiful)

I am beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
Despite my mama she told me, "Girl"
(Beautiful, beautiful)
"There's so many ways to be..."
(Beautiful)
I'll never be Miss America
(Beautiful, beautiful)
I'll never be
(Beautiful, beautiful)
I'll never be

I'll never be (I'll never be)
Miss America (Miss America)
It's not the way I always wanted to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen
(I'll never be)
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
I'll never be
Despite my mama she told me
"Girl, there's so many ways to be beautiful"

I am beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful

Another Life

I think I knew you
Before I knew you
I think we shared another life
Don't you?
You see right through me like an old pane of glass
I think we shared another life
Don't you?

I don't need, need to be
Anybody else but me

Shake off the blues boy, shake off the blues
I think it's time I radio the news
That I'll be your baby, baby of mine
I wanna spend all my time
Loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, love
Loving, loving, loving, loving you
Like lovers do

I think we shared another life
Don't you?
It's in the galaxies and all the history books
I think we shared another life
Don't you?

I don't need, need to be
Anybody else but me

Shake off the blues boy, shake off the blues
I think it's time I radio the news
That I'll be your baby, baby of mine
I wanna spend all my time
Loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, love
Loving, loving, loving, loving you
Like lovers do

You got me rocking
You got me rolling
You got me hoping that I've finally found the open
Let's go together
Let's swim forever
Into the blue

And I'll be your baby, baby of mine
I wanna spend all my time
Loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, love
Loving, loving, loving, loving you
Like lovers do

I think we shared another life

I Remember Her

There's a house, that's not on a hill
And the paint's chipping off
Of the old window sill
There's a tree in the front yard
That's older than me
And older than all of you

There's a smell that the heat makes
It reminds me of Christmas
And birthdays in December
I remember her
I remember her
I remember her so well
I remember her
I remember her
I remember her so well

But things they fade

She would kiss my hand
She would kiss my head
Then she'd fall asleep with me
In my tiny bed
She would sing me lullabies
Gave me my hazel eyes
And then she'd call me beautiful
She made me beautiful

I remember her
I remember her
I remember her so well
I remember her
I remember her
I remember her so well

But things they fade
Things turn to grey
As much as I try to save them
They turn grey
Just like the house, that's not on a hill
With all of the rust on the gate
The chips on the sill
But I love it still

Drink You Gone

You can't lie
Words stay once said
Hard to live, so I play dead

I can't drink you gone
I can't smoke you out
I can't eat away the way that you ate my heart out
Like a sinking ship while the band plays on
When I dream you're there, I can't even sleep you gone
How do broken hearts get strong?
Tell me, how do broken hearts get strong?

I still feel your hand in mine
Think I need much more than time

I can't drink you gone
I can't smoke you out
I can't eat away, the way that you ate my heart out
Like a sinking ship while the band plays on
When I dream you're there, I can't even sleep you gone
How do broken hearts get strong?
Tell me, how do broken hearts get strong?

I remember when we used to say
(I remember when we used to say)
"Forever, babe,"
("Forever, babe,")
Forever, babe

I can't drink you gone
I can't smoke you out
I can't eat away, the way that you ate my heart out
Like a sinking ship while the band plays on
Even when I dream you're there, I can't even sleep you gone
How do broken hearts get strong?
Tell me, how do broken hearts get strong?
Oh, how do broken hearts get strong?
Tell me, how do broken hearts go on?

Hell No

I shoulda known better
I saw her wearing your sweater
Nice glasses, fake red hair
Just like me

Stop crying, stop crawling
Can't you see that I have stopped falling
We were good at faking forever
I get it, whatever

Am I gonna miss you?
Hell no!
Baby watch me up and go
Mama said that the boys like you
Never work out anyway
My girlfriends say are you gonna be sad
If he calls you up, you gonna take him back?
I said Hell no, oh Hell no!

I get it, whatever

Straight up, don't blame you
You're not the Cash and I'm not the June
I'll never be the one to make you better
whatever

Hell no!
Baby watch me up and go
Mama said that the boys like you
Never work out anyway
My girlfriends say are you gonna be sad
If he calls you up, you gonna take him back?
I said Hell no, oh Hell no!

In my bed, late at night
Thinking of how you held me tight
And will I be lonely
When I wake, did we make a big mistake?

Hell no, baby watch me up and go
I always knew that a boy like you wouldn't work out anyway

Hell no!
Baby watch me up and go
Mama said that the boys like you
Never work out anyway
Girlfriends say are you gonna be sad
If he calls you up, you gonna take him back?
I said Hell no, oh Hell no!

Still The One

I got the music, you got the moves
I'm still the one that's in love with you
I'm like a movie, you're like the news
I'm still the one that's in love with you

We dance in the living room and
We move to the beating of our blood
You are the one, I am the two
I'm still the one that's in love with you

I got the biscuits, you get the blues
I'm still the one that's in love with you
This is a life that, we never knew
I'm still the one that's in love with you

I wanna be here forever
All tangled inside your broken heart
You are the one, I am the two
I'm still the one that's in love with you
I'm still the one that's in love with you
I'm still the one that's in love with you

You and me
We got the beat
We got the heart

You and me
We got the beat

I'll never leave you or make you choose
I'm still the one that's in love with you

I'll let you win, I'll let you lose
I'm still the one that's in love with you

I wanna just dance forever
Keep spinning us into something new
You are the one, I am the two
I'm still the one that's in love with you

You saved my life, I'll save yours too
I'm still the one that's in love with you
I'm still the one that's in love with you
I'm still the one that's in love with you

I'm still the one that's in love with you
I'm still the one that's in love with you
I'm still the one that's in love with you

Sitting in my mom's old minivan
Radio up haven't called me back
Living up the days of the "never gonna change"

Oh everybody's got that window down summertime turn it up sing-along

So, celebrate

Oh everybody everybody celebrate

Lying in my bed going what if what if
Well what if I just don't care

Old Days

We took the wrong way down
You see just one side now
Guess that's what life's about
What you remember
What we remember

There's only one thing left
It's what we tell ourselves
The little lies they help us to remember
How we remember
Heaven help the ones who fly away
Heaven help the ones who have to stay and place the blame
Maybe what you think of me won't change
But I still
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to the old days

Pack up the life that's left
Except that one blue dress
I always tried my best
Do you remember?

I'll take it year by year
Watching the dust go clear
We're all afraid to fear
Or to remember
How we remember

Heaven help the ones who fly away
Heaven help the ones who have to stay and place the blame
Maybe what you think of me won't change
But I still
Hold on, hold on
Hold on to the old days

I'm sorry, that I never knew

Heaven help the ones who fly away
Heaven help the ones who have to stay and place the blame
Maybe what you think of me won't change
But I still
Hold on, hold on
I hold on
Hold on to the old days
