Now I'm Lost :: Vanessa Carlton

I’ve been mistaken
You’ve swindled once again
Now there’s no question
I-I was wrong
And now I stand alone
Just stuck here in your throne
And your true colors shone
You don’t belong

And now I’m lost
And now I run from you
And now I see
Just how I bleed from you
And all the lies, all the lies
How could I let you in
But now it’s clear
I went along for the ride
Ow
Uh uh uh ooow

Hey mister merry man
I know you’ll come again
Till you find just what you’re looking for
And if I’m your little lamb
Why would you leave again
I know, I bet you’d stay for more

And now I’m lost
And now I run from you
And now I see
Just how I bleed from you
And all the lies, all the lies
How could I let you in
But now it’s clear
I went along for the ride

And now I’m findin out
You don’t know nothin ‘bout
Ooo what I thought you were
And now I understand
Just how you work your plan
First you’re warm and then you just burn

And now I’m lost
And now I run from you
And now I see
Just how I bleed from you
And all the lies, all the lies
How could I let you in
But now it’s clear
I went along for the ride

And now I make my way
Through another day
I, cause, I know better now
And drop another line
On someone else’s time
But in me you still resound

And now I’m lost
And now I run from you
And now I see
Just how I bleed from you
And all the lies, all the lies
How could I let you in
But now it’s clear
I went along for the ride
Ow
Uh uh uh ooow

And now
And now

Now
Now

Now
Now

Ordinary Day :: VANESSA CARLTON

Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
And as he asked if i would come along
I started to realize-
That everyday you find
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.

He said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand?

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And to know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.

And he said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand
in the palm of your hand.

Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can you see?

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that boy, that ordinary boy.
Or was it all in my head?
Did he asked if I would come along
It all seemed so real.
But as i looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing there with a deal.

And he said he my take my hand,
Live while you can,
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand
right in the palm of your hand,
right in the palm of your hand.

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin to get by.

Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.

Ordinary Day (Accoustic Version) :: Vanessa Carlton

Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
And as he asked if i would come along
I started to realize-
That everyday you find
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.

He said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And to know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.

And he said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand.

Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
And you'll see
Oh

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy.
Or was it all in my head?
Did he ask if I would come along
It all seemed so real.
But as i looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing there with a deal.

And he said take my hand,
Live while you can,
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand, oh,
In the palm of your hand.

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.

Paint It Black :: VANESSA CARLTON

I see a red door and I want it painted black
no colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they are painted black
with flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
like a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it's heading into black
maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
it's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

I wanna see it painted painted, painted black, oh baby
I wanna see it painted painted, painted black, oh baby

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
my love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I wanna see it painted, painted black, oh
black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted from the sky
painted, painted, painted black oh baby
painted painted, painted black

Papa :: VANESSA CARLTON

Look out
Look where you wanna be
Look left
Look where you left me

I should have known
By the ice in your eye
That you warm me up in your so sweet demise and
Nestled in your calculated moonshine

Boy you give good...
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
You got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
You got it all up your blue sleeve
But me

Papa oh papa tonight
Papa oh I'll be alright

Look left
Look where you wanna be
Look out
Look where you left me

I should have known
By the ice in your eye
That you warm me up in your so sweet demise and
Nestled in your calculated moonshine

Boy you give good...
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
You got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
You got it all up your blue sleeve
But me

Papa oh papa tonight
Papa oh I'll be alright

Paradise :: VANESSA CARLTON

once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in
every time she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been
well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
when covers tucked in tight
funny when the bottom drops
how she forgets to fight... to fight

and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise

as darkness quickly steals the light
that shined within her eyes
she slowly swallows all her fear
and soothes her mind with lies
well all she wants and all she needs
are reasons to survive
a day in which the sun will take
her artificial light... her light

and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise
it's one more day in paradise
one last chance to feel alright... alright

don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
don't pretend to hold it in just push it out
don't you try to hold it in just let it out and
don't you try to hold it in you hold it in

[chorus]

once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in
every time she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been

Pretty Baby :: VANESSA CARLTON

you light me up and then I fall for you
you lay me down and then I call for you
stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I'd let it all come down and then some for you

pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
pretty baby why can't you see
you're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
for you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
as long as you keep comin' around, oh pretty baby

and I know things can't last forever
but there are lessons that you'll never learn
oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt
so how's it you that makes me better

[chorus]

why can't you hold me and never let go
when you touch me it is me that you own
pretty baby oh the place that you hold in my heart
would you break it apart again... oh pretty baby

[chorus]

Pretty Baby-Regular Version :: Vanessa Carlton

Pretty baby why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to

Prince :: VANESSA CARLTON

willing and able to run
I am
willing and able I'm able to come

and if I want for you now
would you come
would you run
would you bring it back around
oh, baby how

if it all went away
nothin' left to say
would you fight it or would you lay down
at the hand of your God could you see the light
oh my prince can't you see what's been found

willing and able to run
willing and able to come
I am willing, I'm willing

willing and able to run
I am
willing and able I'm able to come

Private Radio :: VANESSA CARLTON

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Gotta get a little
Gotta get a little

All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in it's silence
But a solitude is in my head, from you, maybe

And if the silence was a song
Well, its rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I did belong
In harmony

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
When no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio

I'm finally out of my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here, but I am ready good to go
If I don't win I'll leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun now

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio

Catch me, not care
Call me later
Morning's risin'

All the world has gone to bed
And there's a sound inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody inside my head

(When the night comes)
There's a part of me no one will never know
(And no one knows)
And midnight comes and I know I'm on my own
(I can feel it)
There's a part of me no one will ever see
(I've got my private radio)
There's a part of me no one will ever leave be
(My private radio)
My private radio
My private radio
