Mika - My Name Is Michael Holbrook Lyrics
Tiny Love
It's not a sunrise over canyons shaped like hearts
It isn't bursting into song in Central Park
It's not the outline of your face drawn in the stars
It's a "still-there-Monday-morning" kind of love
There's no dramatic declarations in the rain
It's not a love that finds its pleasure after pain
I couldn't train a bunch of doves to spell your name
It's a "don't-know-what-they're-missing" kind of love
Our kind of love, it gets better every day
Crazy colors in the grey, our love
Tiny love, it's a tiny love
My life was dull
I used to walk in a different way
But now I'm dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Don't care who can see me dancin'
Oh oh, tiny love
Oh oh, tiny love
Oh oh, tiny love
This tiny love has spoken
And bigger hearts get broken
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, tiny love
So small that you can't find us
The world revolves around us
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, tiny love
This kind of love, it can't be no other way
One kind of love blows the other ones away
Sometimes it's tough, others think we're acting strange
But it's our kind of love, our kind of love
Oh oh, tiny love
Oh oh, tiny love
My name is Mika Holbrook
I was born in 1983
No, I'm not losing my mind
It's just this thing that you do to me
You get me high on a tiny love
You get me high
And if it all goes bad
And our love sits like the sun
I'd give up a hundred thousand loves
For just this one
You get me high on a tiny love
You get me high on a tiny love
It's not a sunrise over canyons shaped like hearts
It isn't bursting into song in Central Park
We may be tiny to the world, but in our hearts
We be giants with our tiny, tiny love

Ice Cream
When I hear that sound
I know what's comin' around
Thirty-nine degrees
Too hot for the bees
The grass is turnin' yellow
Streets are slow and mellow
The faucet keeps on drippin'
And the clock, it keeps on tickin'
The swimming pool is laughing with its shining bright blue teeth
Laughing at my body as it's sweltering with heat
The smell of colored plastic bakin' in the sun
Sweet just like frustration, my senses on the run
I want your ice cream
I want it lying in the sun
I want your ice cream
I want it melting on my tongue
I want your ice cream
I want it, what you waiting for?
Ice cream, every bite
All I want is more
(Ice cream)
Filling up the car
The red door burns my thigh
How is this place just standing
With the temperature so hot
Air and ground so heavy
Thick with gasoline
My hands will keep me steady
Hotter than I've ever been
The swimming pool is laughing with its shining bright blue teeth
Laughing at my body as it's sweltering with heat
The smell of colored plastic bakin' in the sun
Sweet just like frustration, my senses on the run
I want your ice cream
I want it lying in the sun
I want your ice cream
I want it melting on my tongue
I want your ice cream
I want it, what you waiting for?
Ice cream, every bite
All I want is more
Ice cream
I want your ice cream
I want it lying in the sun
I want your ice cream
I want it melting on my tongue
I want your ice cream
I want it lying in the sun
I want your ice cream
I want it melting on my tongue
I want your ice cream
I want it, what you waiting for?
Ice cream, every bite
All I want is more

Dear Jealousy
Jealousy, bring the music back to me
Dear jealousy, you know every part of me
Hiding where no one can see I want you to leave
Dear jealousy, why you smiling creepily?
Your fingertips keep holding on
But your tricks won't work on me
Oh baby, I'm jealous, I'm jealous, I'm jealous of us
I'm jealous of everything that I know we could be
But never really seems enough
I'm jealous, I'm jealous of everyone
Jealous of the man I used to be
And the man I could become
I'm jealous of your face, of your lips, of your eyes
Jealous of your house and the car you drive
Jealous of your truth and I'm jealous of lies
I'm jealous (dear jealousy)
Jealous of the ground beneath my feet
Jealous of your mouth and the air we breathe
Jealous of the way that you look at me, I'm jealous
It's coming out to get us, get us
You better run away while it let us
'Cause like it or not
Everyday we get a little better at jealousy
We goin' 'til it's, coming on and
Only problem is that it's wrong, and
And every single person, even you, even me
Is jealousy
Dear jealousy
When did you move in with me?
This bed wasn't made for three
It's time for you to leave
Oh baby, I'm jealous, I'm jealous, I'm jealous of us
I'm jealous of everything that I know we could be
but never really seems enough
I'm jealous, I'm jealous of everyone
Jealous of the man I used to be
and the man I could become
I'm jealous of your face, of your lips, of your eyes
Jealous of your house and the car you drive
Jealous of your truth and I'm jealous of lies
I'm jealous (dear jealousy)
Jealous of the ground beneath my feet
Jealous of your mouth and the air we breathe
Jealous of the way that you look at me
I'm jealous
It's coming out to get us, get us
You better run away while it let us
'Cause like it or not
Everyday we get a little better at jealousy
We goin' 'til it's, coming on and
Only problem is that it's wrong, and
And every single person, even you, even me
Is jealousy
Jealousy, bring the music back to me
I can't even write a song
If you're standing over me (dear jealousy)
Jealousy, I'll take the good time with the rough
I don't need to be the richest guy
No Is enough (dear jealousy)
Jealousy, stop confusing me
I am sick of seeing everything
Deep in shades of gray (dear jealousy)
Jealousy, it took a while for me to see
I thought I was the one who's jealous
But you're jealous of me (dear jealousy)
It's coming out to get us, get us
You better run away while it let us
'Cause like it or not
Everyday we get a little better at jealousy
We goin' 'til it's, coming on and
Only problem is that it's wrong, and
And every single person, even you, even me
Is jealousy
It's coming out to get us, get us
We better run away while it let us
'Cause like it or not
Everyday we get a little better at jealousy

Paloma
Oh Paloma, the skies have not been kind to you
Oh Paloma, to weather the storm you paint it blue
Silence in your struggle, living life like there's nothing wrong
We didn't even notice, all we heard was the morning song
Until the sky fell into pieces
The night our life fell into pieces too
Try to fly against the wind
Even with a broken wing
As the sky fell into pieces
My Paloma, where is the broken dove to go?
Oh Paloma, if only you had let me know
Was it joy or sadness that you felt on the night you flew?
I found you fighting in the darkness
There was beauty in there too
The night the sky fell into pieces
And our life fell into pieces too
Try to fly against the wind
Even with a broken wing
As the sky fell into pieces
Pieces hiding all the pain
Don't put the pieces back again
The night the sky fell into pieces
And our life fell into pieces too
Try to fly against the wind
Even with a broken wing
As the sky fell into pieces
As the sky fell into pieces
And our life fell into pieces too
Try to fly against the wind
Even with a broken wing
As the sky fell into pieces
Fly Paloma, fly Paloma, fly Paloma
One day you're gonna fly
Fly Paloma, fly Paloma, fly Paloma
One day you're gonna fly, ah
Fly Paloma, fly Paloma, fly Paloma
One day you're gonna fly

Sanremo
Light brown skin
Lips like Campari
And words like soda
Can I come over?
Just let me in
I wanna go where
The nights are blinding
The sun keeps shining
If I could I know where I'd be
In a little town in Italy
Close your eyes, come away with me
Tomorrow we will be
Sitting by the seaside
Drinking up the sunshine
You're here so why don't we go
Dancing in Sanremo
We can be there in a couple of hours
To the place with the yellow flowers
Somewhere only we know
Sunset in Sanremo
To feel like this
Is one in a million
A suspended moment
Can we seal it
With a tender kiss?
Out of a movie
Made by Fellini
Love that you need me
Over there you shine like a star
Doesn't even matter who you are
Hold my hand and we'll travel far
Close your eyes and we will be
Sitting by the seaside
Drinking up the sunshine
You're here so why don't we go
Dancing in Sanremo
We can be there in a couple of hours
To the place with the yellow flowers
Somewhere only we know
Sunset in Sanremo (Sunset in Sanremo)
Sunset in Sanremo
There you can shine like a star
There's a place for you whoever you are
I know you're tired of the rain
But tomorrow we'll be
Sitting by the seaside
Drinking up the sunshine
You're here so why don't we go
Dancing in Sanremo
We can be there in a couple of hours
To the place with the yellow flowers
Somewhere only we know
Sunset in Sanremo
Sitting by the seaside
Drinking up the sunshine
You're here so why don't we go
Dancing in Sanremo
We can be there in a couple of hours
To the place with the yellow flowers
Somewhere only we know
Sunset in Sanremo

Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
You and I, we're really
Really not so innocent
Consequences won't be easy
From here, every road leads to regret
But if this ain't what you wanted
Then why'd you even come here? It's two a.m.
If this isn't what you wanted
Then why'd you put a smiley in your message then?
Backseat, light off
Window open, stereo on
So kiss me in the backseat of my vintage Benz
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When it comes, we can worry then
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
So kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When you know how lucky we are
Oh, tomorrow worry 'bout tomorrow
(Tomorrow)
Lying here together
Stretching every second into more
I know you're getting nervous
But this is a mess worth fighting for
But if this ain't what you wanted
Then why'd you even come here? It's two a.m.
If this isn't what you wanted
Then why'd you put a smiley in your message then?
T-shirt off, breeze comin' in
Leather seat catchin' on the skin
So kiss me in the backseat of my vintage Benz
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When it comes, we can worry then
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
So kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When you know how lucky we are
Oh, tomorrow worry 'bout tomorrow
But if you say you'll be there tomorrow
Then I love you tomorrow
(Tomorrow)
(Tomorrow)
(Tomorrow)
So kiss me in the backseat of my vintage Benz
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When it comes, we can worry then
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
So kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When you know how lucky we are
Oh, tomorrow worry 'bout tomorrow

Ready To Call This Love
I'm afraid of the world
Losing love in the dark
Every time that I move too fast
I fall apart
But I think you're the same
And I know that you're scared
Think too much of the end
And we will never start
We still sleep with the light on
So afraid it'll go wrong
Take your time if you need it
But don't wait when you know you feel it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Don't speak if you don't believe it
But please, say those words if you mean it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
I don't know what to say
That's unusual for me
First step is the hardest one you'll ever take
She goes to parks with the light on
Oh, let's be brave, turn the light off
Take your time if you need it
But don't wait when you know you feel it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Don't speak if you don't believe it
But please, say those words if you mean it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Are you ready yet?
Are you ready yet?
Are you ready to this love?
Are you ready to call?
Are you ready to call this love?
Are you ready yet?
Are you ready yet?
Are you ready to this love?
Are you ready to call this love?
Are you ready to call this love?
Take your time if you need it
But don't wait when you know you feel it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Are you ready to call this love?
Oh, take your time if you need
But don't wait when you know you feel it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Are you ready to call this love?
Don't speak if you don't believe it
But please, say those words if you mean it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Are you ready to call, ready to call this love?
Are you ready?

Cry
本当の傷は痛まないよ
声と言葉 失くして
ただ涙が あふれてくるだけ
理想に満ちた あの頃の
心は今は荒れ果て
矛盾ばかりの 自分を生きてる
I don't wanna cry no more.
I don't wanna cry cry cry
あとどのくらいなの
あとどのくらい cry cry
強がりだけを 武器にして
戦ってきた弱虫
きみは全部 知ってて くれたね
I don't wanna cry no more.
I don't wanna cry cry cry
泣きたいくらいなの
壊れるくらい cry cry
oh この淋しさに
いつか終わりはあるの?
I don't wanna cry no more.
I don't wanna cry cry cry
あとどのくらいなの
I don't wanna cry cry cry
あとどのくらい baby
泣きたい cry cry cry
I don't wanna cry no more.
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry

Platform Ballerinas
Dancing in her platform ballerinas
That's about as girly as she gets
She ain't like no other señorita
And she will never let you forget
She says, "Don't believe everything you see
That a girl wakes up with makeup and her heart on her sleeve"
She says, "Better be yourself, you'll make it
'Cause every other girl out there is taken"
She says, "So come on"
Dancing like she loves it with her best dress on
Spinning, jumping, messing up her hair, but it doesn't matter
'Cause that don't make her less of a girl
And her hips she moves, grooving to the music like a woman do
Throws her body in it not for me, not you, but for her
And that don't make her less of a girl
Dancing in her platform ballerinas
Like she's dancing in her kitchen at home
She says life is made up of decisions
But that every one of them must be her own
"Don't believe everything you see
That a girl wakes up with makeup and her heart on her sleeve"
She says, "Better be yourself, you'll make it
'Cause every other girl out there is taken"
She says, "So come on"
Dancing like she loves it with her best dress on
Spinning, jumping, messing up her hair, but it doesn't matter
'Cause that don't make her less of a girl
And her hips she moves
Grooving to the music like a woman do
Throws her body in it not for me, not you, but for her
And that don't make her less of a girl
When that song comes on
She don't know the words, but she still sings along
Everybody's laughing, but it doesn't even matter
'Cause that don't make her less of a girl
She don't have to aim to miss
Blowing up her lips to make them best to kiss
That won't even help to get a guy to kiss her better
And that don't make her less of a girl
She says, "So come on"
Dancing like she loves it with her best dress on
Spinning, jumping, messing up her hair, but it doesn't matter
'Cause that don't make her less of a girl

I Went To Hell Last Night
I went to hell last night
Followed you there, I was standing by your side
The saddest thing I've ever seen
Made me angrier than I've ever been
But in the darkest place, a saving grace
After all we've been through
Though it kills me to say this
There's a little bit of God in you
There's a little bit of God in everything
From the sun in the sky to the tears that you cry (Ooh-ah)
There's a little bit of God in everything
From the dirt that we hold to our diamonds and gold (Ooh-ah)
I finally realized just how lonely you have really been
Why couldn't I see it before? (Ooh)
Is that why you let the devil in? (Ooh)
In the darkest place, I will follow you (Ah)
There's a little bit of God in everything
From the sun in the sky to the tears that we cry (Ooh-ah)
There's a little bit of God in everything
From the dirt that we hold to our diamonds and gold (Ooh-ah)
Ah-ah, ah-ah
When you're dark and you're sad
And your future's just as bad
There's a little bit of God in everything
When you're hurt and you're sour
Even in your darkest hour
There's a little bit of God in everything
From the king to the fool to the bastards back at school (Ooh)
There's a little bit of God in everything
(Getting all your diamonds and gold)
And though you may not be in the finest company (Ah)
There's a little bit of God in everything
(Getting all your diamonds and gold)
When you're hurt and you're sour (Ah)
Even in your darkest hour
There's a little bit of God in everything, oh
(Getting all your diamonds and gold)
From a priest to the heart to the man who start the war (Ah)
There's a little bit of God in everything
(Getting all your diamonds and gold)
And one day you will see part of you is part of me
There's a little bit of God in everything

Blue
Oh, your heart is broken
To your surprise
You're sick of crying
For blue eyes
So tired of living
Misunderstood
Think hard woman
I think you should
Come, sorrow is so peculiar
It comes in a day, then it'll never leave you
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
They wonder why sorrow has never left you
I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?
Oh, your heart got broken
On the underground
Go find your spirit
In a lost and found
Oh I've been watching
How you behave
Not much like a lover
More like a slave
Come, sorrow is so peculiar
It comes in a day, then it'll never leave you
You take a pill, wonder if it will fix you
They wonder why sorrow has never left you
I'm talkin' bout blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter matter
So blind, so blind
What's the matter, matter
Blue eyes, blue eyes
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?

Stay High
What comes up must come down
I learn it in my science class
No, I'm not that dumb
Your fingertips upon my skin (Your fingertips, upon my skin)
You bring sunshine to my window, baby let it in
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low
Wherever we go, we're gonna get higher than the sun, my baby
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low (Wherever we go)
Wherever we go, we gonna stay high (Wherever we go)
What comes up must come down (What comes up, must come down)
But you and me, we're floating above the ground
Our generation has so much gloom (Our generation, has so much gloom)
'Cause there ain't no money left after the baby boom
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low
Wherever we go, we're gonna get higher than the sun, my baby
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low (Wherever we go)
Wherever we go, we gonna stay high (Wherever we go)
Don't let me down
Not now 'cause I've been high for so long
That I don't know how to come down
Don't try, I don't even care if you lie, you and me
Don't let me down
Not now 'cause I've been high for so long
That I don't know how to come down
Don't try, I don't even care if you lie, you and me
We're gonna stay high
We're gonna stay high
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low
Wherever we go, we're gonna get higher than the sun, my baby
Wherever we go, I wanna stay high not low (Wherever we go)
Wherever we go, we gonna stay high (Wherever we go)
(We're gonna stay high)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high (Higher)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high
We're gonna get high, high, high, high (Higher)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high
We're gonna get high, high, high, high (Higher)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high
We're gonna get high, high, high, high (Higher)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high
We're gonna get high, high, high, high (Higher)
We're gonna stay high, high, high, high

Tiny Love Reprise
It's not a sunrise over canyons shaped like hearts
It isn't bursting into song in Central Park
It's not the outline of your face drawn in the stars
It's a "still-there-Monday-morning" kind of love
There's no dramatic declarations in the rain
It's not a love that finds its pleasure after pain
I couldn't train a bunch of doves to spell your name
It's a "don't-know-what-they're-missing" kind of love
Our kind of love, it gets better every day
Crazy colors in the grey, our love
Tiny love, it's a tiny love
My life was dull
I used to walk in a different way
But now I'm dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Don't care who can see me dancin'
Oh oh, tiny love
Oh oh, tiny love
Oh oh, tiny love
This tiny love has spoken
And bigger hearts get broken
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, tiny love
So small that you can't find us
The world revolves around us
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, tiny love
This kind of love, it can't be no other way
One kind of love blows the other ones away
Sometimes it's tough, others think we're acting strange
But it's our kind of love, our kind of love
Oh oh, tiny love
Oh oh, tiny love
