So It Goes

[Verse 1]
See you in the dark
All eyes on you, my magician
All eyes on us
You make everyone disappear, and
Cut me into pieces
Gold cage, hostage to my feelings
Back against the wall
Trippin', trip-trippin' when you're gone

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we break down a little
And when you get me alone, it's so simple
'Cause baby, I know what you know
We can feel it

[Chorus]
And our pieces fall
Right into place
Get caught up in the moments
Lipstick on your face
So it goesa€¦
I'm yours to keep
And I'm yours to lose
You know I'm not a bad girl, but I
Do bad things with you
So it goesa€¦

Sparks Fly

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You say my name for the first time, baby, and I
Fall in love in an empty bar

And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain

'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around

'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
So reach out open handed
And lead me out to that floor
Well, I don't need more paper lanterns

Take me down, baby bring on the movie star
'Cause my heart is beating fast
And you are beautiful I could wait patiently
But I really wish you would

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain

'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around

'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go out
Just keep your beautiful eyes on me

Gonna strike this match tonight
Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'd love to hate it
But you make it like a fireworks show

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain

'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around

'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Sparks fly, baby smile, sparks fly

Speak Now

I am not the kind of girl
who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion.
But you are not the kind of boy
who should be marrying the wrong girl.
I sneak in and see your friends,
and her snotty little family
all dressed in pastel.
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
somewhere back inside her room
wearing a gown shaped like a pastry.
This is surely not what you thought it would be.
I lose myself in a daydream.
Where I stand and say.

Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door.
Don't wait, or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
and they said speak now.

Fond gestures are exchanged
and the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march.
and I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely
bride to be.
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen.
I know you wish it was me
you wish it was me
don't you?

Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door.
Don't wait, or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
and they said speak now.
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door.
Don't wait, or say a single vow
your time is running out
and they said speak now.

Ooooh, ooooh.

I hear the preacher say
Speak now or forever hold your peace.
There's a silence
There's my last chance
I stand up with shaking hands
all eyes on me.
Horrified looks from everyone in the room,
But I'm only looking at you.

I am not the kind of girl
who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion.
But you are not the kind of boy
who should be marrying the wrong girl.

So Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door.
Don't wait, or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
and they said speak now.
And you'll say let's run away now
I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door.
Baby, I didn't say my vows
so glad you were around when they said
Speak Now.

Spinning Around

Days go by, I wonder if you hear me
Can't you read between the lines
Now I'm standing still, I am disappearing
Take this chance, I'll make you mine

And don't you wonder why
You change in time
Makes you feel so empty inside

But love's got me cornered in the back of the room
I'm spinning around, spinning around
And all I see is someone I don't know
Love's got me tangled, tired me too
No sign of a wall, sign of a wall
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you

He tells lies, are you really thinking
That you deserve another try
And when you see these eyes you see another planet
Don't ask how, but fate decides

And don't you wonder why
You change in time
Makes you feel so empty inside

But love's got me cornered in the back of the room
I'm spinning around, spinning around
And all I see is someone I don't know
Love's got me tangled, tired me too
No sign of a wall, sign of a wall
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you

Spinning and turning and living and learning
I should be able to handle this
Make it or break it, move it or shake it
Do it or fake it, girl you've got to make it

But love's got me cornered in the back of the room
I'm spinning around, spinning around
And all I see is someone I don't know
Love's got me tangled, tired me too
No sign of a wall, sign of a wall
Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you

Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you

Spinning me around
And baby all I see is you

Standing Here

You were the guy I always dreamed of.
You were the guy that I loved. But then you had to leave me.
I asked when you would call me.
You replied meet me at the wildernes at nine.
I went there standin waitin to see your face.
... You never showed up I was there for hours,
I was watin to see your face.
Ill stand here for hours under this lonly spot light.

Ill wait all night till I see your face.
Ohh waitin to see your face.
I went to the mall with all my friends to see if you
were there I saw you with another girl I didnt think
to swear. I wen home crying to see if you were there
If a message was left I would cry my tears.
I was watin to see your face.
Ill stand here for hours under this lonly spot light.
Ill wait all night till I see your face.
Ohh waitin to see your face.
Then I had your call for me and I saw your face lookin
at me I was glad to see! We went we cried to the the
wilderness---Im not alone.
. Under the spot light any more... Any more--- any more--- ANY MORE!

Starlight

I said oh my, what a marvelous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved the whole place
Was just to the night, and we were dancing dancing
Like we meet a starlight
Like we meet a starlight

On the barbie, on the boardwalk, summer of 45
Picks me up play one night at the window he was 17 and crazy running wild, wild
Can't remember what song it was playing when we walked in
That night we sneaked into a yard club party
Pretending to be a duchess and a prince

And I said oh my, what a marvelous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved the whole place
Was just to the night, and we were dancing dancing
Like we meet a starlight starlight
Like we meet a starlight starlight

He still look at you worrying so much about things you can't change
You spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way
He was trying to skip rocks in the ocean saying to me
"Don't you see the starlight starlight
Don't you dream impossible things"

Like oh my, what a marvelous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved the whole place
Was just to the night, and we were dancing dancing
Like we meet a starlight starlight
Like we meet a starlight starlight

Ooh ooh he's talking crazy
Ooh ooh dancing with me
Ooh ooh we could get married
Have ten kids and teach them how to dream

[guitar]

Oh my, what a marvelous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved the whole place
Was just to the night, and we were dancing dancing
Like we meet a starlight starlight
Like we meet a starlight starlight
Like we meet a starlight starlight
Like we dream impossible dreams
Starlight starlight
Like we dream impossible dreams
Don't you see the starlight starlight
Don't you dream impossible things

Stay Beautiful

Cory's eyes are like a jungle
he smiles, it's like the radio
he whispers songs into my window
in words nobody knows
there's pretty girls on every corner
that watch him as he's walking home
saying, does he know
will you ever know

chorus:
you're beautiful
every little piece, love, don't you know
you're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
when you find everything you've looked for
i hope your life leads you back to my door
oh but if it don't, stay beautiful

cory finds another way to be
the highlight of my day
i'm taking pictures in my mind
so i can save them for a rainy day
it's hard to make conversation
when he's taking my breathe away
i should say, hey by the way...

repeat chorus

if you and i are a story
that never gets told
if what you are is a daydream
i'll never get to hold, at least you'll know

you're beautiful
every little piece, love, don't you know
you're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
when you find everything you've looked for
i hope your life leads you back to my front door
oh but if it don't, stay beautiful

will you stay beautiful beautiful beatiful...
beautiful beautiful beautiful

ohh ohh ohhh

oh but if it don't
Stay Beautiful
Stay Beautiful

Stay Stay Stay

I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night
I threw my phone across the room at you
I was expecting some dramatic turn away but you stayed
This morning I said we should talk about it
Cause I read you should never leave a file unresolved
That's when you came in wearing a football helmet
And said okay let's talk
And I said...

Stay stay stay i've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when i'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay

Before you I only dated self indulgent takes who took all of their problems out on me
But you carrying my groceries and now i'm always laughing
And I love you because you have given me no choice but to

Stay stay stay i've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when i'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay stay stay stay

You took the time to memorize me my feels my hopes and dreams
I just like hanging out with you all the time
All those times that you didn't leave it's been occuring to me i'd like to hang out with you for my whole life

Stay and i'll be loving you for quite some time
No one else is gonna love me when I get mad mad mad
So I think that it's best if we both stay stay stay stay

Stay stay stay i've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when i'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay stay stay stay

Stay stay stay i've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when i'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay

Still An Innocent

I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself and you?re open

Lost your balance on a tight rope

Lost your mind trying to get it back


Wasn't it easy in your lunchbox days

Always a bigger thing to crawl into

Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything
And everybody believed in you

(Chorus)

Its alright

Just wait and see your string of lights are still bright to me

Oh

Who you are is not who you?ve been

You?re still an innocent (x2)


It?s some things you cant speak of

But tonight you leave it all again

You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now

If only you were seeing what you know now what would happen


Wasn't it easy in your firefly catching days

Everything out of reach

Someone bigger brought down to you

Wasn't it beautiful

Running wild til? you ran out of speed

Before the monsters caught up to you

(Chorus)
Its alright

Just wait and see your string of lights are still bright to me

Oh

Who you are is not who you?ve been

You?re still an innocent


It?s okay

Life is a tough crowd

32 is still growing up now

Who you are is not what you did

You're still an innocent



Time turns flames to embers

You?ll have new Septembers

Everyone of us has messed up too


Life changes like the weather

I hope you remember

Today is never too late to

Be brand new

Ohhhhhh

(Chorus)
It?s alright

Just wait and see your string of lights are still bright to me

Oh

Who you are is not who you?ve been

You?re still an innocent

You're still an innocent
It?s okay

Life is a tough crowd

32 is still growing up now

Who you are is not what you did

You're still an innocent

Lost your balance on a tight rope
Ohhh

Its never too late to get back




Stupid Boy

Let me know how's it feel
To be under my skin
Wrapped around my heart
Is it like anywhere you've been?
And everything I do, I do it just for you

So why the hell don't you love me?
Why the hell don't you need me
Like I need you?
Why are you so far above me?
Don't you know that there's nothing I wouldn't do?
But I was just a toy
That's what you destroyed
Stupid boy

I have been, looking in
Trying to read your mind
Give you the benefit of the doubt
Every single time
But didn't you waltz right by
I'm screamin' out inside

Why the hell don't you love me?
Why the hell don't you need me

Like I need you?
Why are you so far above me?
Don't you know that there's nothing I wouldn't do?
But I was just a toy
That's what you destroyed
Stupid boy

What happens when you wake up
And see what you've lost
Take one look at me cause
That's what it cost
I was gonna be everything you need
Cause you are everything to me

So why the hell don't you love me?
Why the hell don't you need me
Like I need you?
Why are you so far above me?
Don't you know that there's nothing I wouldn't do?
But I was just a toy
That's what you destroyed
Stupid boy

Let me know how's it feel
To be under my skin
