It’s a certain kind of feel

Taking 66 to 405

Leaving amber waves of grain

Scrapers clouding open skies

It’s a part of me I can’t deny

This is all I ever wanted

I told you I’d get here

This is not a love affair

Swimming pools around Bel Air

Catchin rays on tennis courts

It’s evasive underscores

And I’m not Sun kissed

Heaven knows I tried to win

Forget the glow, kid

The stars don’t shine on you

Nothing but sunny eyes and blue skies

For days and days and days

But what’s it take to stop the rain in LA

What’s the difference if I’m here?

I’m not runnin with the socialites 

Just a loner at the pier 

Getting sick of no reply

It’s a harder drop from up so high

Is it all I ever wanted?

I need more

This is not a love affair

Swimming pools around Bel Air

Catchin rays on tennis courts

It’s evasive underscores

And I’m not Sun kissed

Heaven knows I tried to win

Forget the glow, kid

The stars don’t shine on you

Nothing but sunny eyes and blue skies

For days and days and days

But what’s it take to stop the rain in LA

Bridge:

I can roll with the moonshine

Caught a wave, baby, it’s my time

I see the green in your blue eyes

Wanna bet, baby, it’s my time

Yeah it’s my time

This is not a love affair

Swimming pools around Bel Air

Catchin rays on tennis courts

It’s evasive underscores

And I’m not Sun kissed

Heaven knows I got the win

Forget the glow, kid

The stars don’t shine on you

Nothing but sunny eyes and blue skies

For days and days and days

But what’s it take to stop the rain in L.A.

I’m six feet underground

Oh, it’s tragic

And you disappeared

Just like magic

I’ve been wandering through these dark and empty streets alone

Wishing I could find someone to lead me home

Is there hope outside of heaven?

Is there hope left for me now?

Is there hope outside of heaven?

Tell me who can save me now?

I fell just like a star

So dramatic

You took the money and ran

Left me manic

I just don’t understand what made you leave it all

Always thought that you’d be here but now you’re gone

So is there hope outside of heaven?

Is there hope left for me now?

Is there hope outside of heaven?

Tell me who can save me now?

Is there hope outside of heaven?

Is there hope left for me now?

Is there hope outside of heaven?

Tell me who can save me now?

[Instrumental/Saxophone solo]

So is there hope outside of heaven?

Is there hope left for me now?

Is there hope outside of heaven?

Tell me who can save me now?

Is there hope outside of heaven?

Is there hope left for me now?

Is there hope outside of heaven?

Tell me who can save me now?

I’m fast, I’m very fast

Got the pedal to the metal when I’m running away from trouble

It’s bad, it’s just too bad

A different time, a different age I bet could have been something special

And I admit, I admit honey,

I played a selfish game

But you gotta know, gotta know honey

My plan was not this way

I’m not in love

I just found in you my best friend

I’m not in love

Couldn’t face it coming to an end

I’m not in love

I just called cause I needed someone to believe me,

You’re the only one who gets it when I tell you my broken dreams

But it’s not love

It’s not love

So here, I’ll make it clear

Though my heart is fluttering I drew a line down right through the middle

Don’t go, don’t make me go

But if we give this thing a try you know it’d practically be committal

And I admit, I admit honey,

I played a selfish game

But you gotta know, gotta know honey

My plan was not this way

I’m not in love

I just found in you my best friend

I’m not in love

Couldn’t face it coming to an end

I’m not in love

I just called cause I needed someone to believe me,

You’re the only one who gets it when I tell you my broken dreams

But it’s not love

It’s not love

So you can take my heart away

Just take my heart away

I don’t need it anyway

Just take my heart away 

I’m not in love

I just found in you my best friend

I’m not in love

Couldn’t face it coming to an end

I’m not in love

I just called cause I needed someone to believe me,

You’re the only one who gets it when I tell you my broken dreams

But it’s not love

It’s not love

It shows,

You always give ‘em what they want

We know,

We know you’re not the only one

Who’s selling a feeling

Have you lost the meaning?

Chasing compliments,

Ignore the negatives,

‘Cause you think you’re worth so much more

It makes me feel sad,

When will you take the good with the bad?

Oh, I would have been there for you

Now it’s all coming into view

I would have been there for you

I guess that wasn’t enough for you

When you’ve got nothing left to give,

Who’s going to let you in?

I thought we were making friends,

But you only wanted fans

I would have been there for you,

I would have been there for you

How low,

How lonely is it looking at yourself?

I hope,

I hope that’s not the most you’ve felt

Keep ‘em all at a distance

Your perfect existence

We’re the blessed ones

Here to hold you up

But do you ever want something else?

It makes me feel sad

That cold exposure is all that you have

Oh, I would have been there for you

Now it’s all coming into view

I would have been there for you

I guess that wasn’t enough for you

When you’ve got nothing left to give,

Who’s going to let you in?

I thought we were making friends,

But you only wanted fans

I would have been there for you,

I would have been there for you

Whenever you needed a friend,

But you only wanted fans

(Instrumental)

I would have been there for you

Now it’s all coming into view

I would have been there for you

Guess that wasn’t enough for you

When you’ve got nothing left to give,

Who’s going to let you in?

(who’s gonna let you in)

I thought we were making friends,

But you only wanted fans

I would have been there for you,

(There for you)

I would have been there for you

(There for you)

Whenever you needed a friend,

But you only wanted fans

My favorite mistake,

Was not as it seemed

I was caught by surprise,

When you made me bleed

I didn’t know how bad I wanted to make you proud,

‘Til those bitter words fell from your mouth onto the ground

So come on run faster,

Speak a little louder,

Jump a little higher,

Am I good enough yet?

Ooh, give me the truth

Come on, run faster,

Speak a little louder,

Jump a little higher,

Am I good enough yet?

Ooh, give me the truth

I want to get out of here,

Get me a window seat,

Fly out into the clear,

A bird’s eye view is all I need

And all of the glitter of the city lights that once were blinding me,

All of the mountains that I could not climb,

The vows I could not keep,

They’ll sink below the clouds,

And I’ll breathe in deep from my window seat

Still holding my breath for what’s to come,

There’s a million walls,

I’m not strong enough,

They criticize and I take everything to heart,

But the rushing wind drowns them out as the engines start

So come on run faster,

Speak a little louder,

Jump a little higher,

Am I good enough yet?

Ooh, give me the truth

Come on, run faster,

Speak a little louder,

Jump a little higher,

Am I good enough yet?

Ooh, give me the truth

I want to get out of here,

Get me a window seat,

Fly out into the clear,

A bird’s eye view is all I need

And all of the glitter of the city lights that once were blinding me,

All of the mountains that I could not climb,

The vows I could not keep,

They’ll sink below the clouds,

And I’ll breathe in deep from my window seat

It’s not very often that I have something to say

Some call me quiet but my head’s alive all day

I think my frontal lobe is overdeveloped,

My filter doesn’t work in the moment

Always finding the right words to say ten minutes to late

But put a keyboard in my hands

And let my fingers start to dance

Like a child, I am learning how to speak

So what am I supposed to do,

With all of these songs that no one will ever hear?

What am I supposed to do,

With the dreams in my head, yesterday they seemed so clear

‘Cause I poured my soul into them

But it didn’t meet my vision

If it’s not all for you, then what did I get us into?

I don’t have a context for music without fame

I’m all out of options, guess I’m giving up my name

I got an overactive imagination,

I still can’t picture this proposition,

And I wish that my ignorance didn’t hurt you too

But put a keyboard in my hands

And let my fingers start to dance

I’m finally the person I always want to be

So what am I supposed to do,

With all of these songs that no one will ever hear?

What am I supposed to do,

With the dreams in my head, yesterday they seemed so clear

‘Cause I poured my soul into them

But it didn’t meet my vision

If it’s not all for you, then what did I get us into?

And is it too much, to hope?

I tried to hold on to hope

And is it too much, to dream?

Did I turn it into something it was never meant to be?

So what am I supposed to do,

With all of these songs that no one will ever hear?

What am I supposed to do,

With the dreams in my head, yesterday they seemed so clear

‘Cause I poured my soul into them

But it didn’t meet my vision

If it’s not all for you, then what did I get us into?

Dear Poet, did you miss me?

Oh, I will always be the Nightingale

I tried to scream but no one heard me

Gave up my soul to find the holy grail

I followed the path of the masses,

Four years down and it’s tragic,

Always thought by now I’d have something to show

I cut my teeth on a habit,

You can rest my bones here without it,

I wake up to find there’s a long way to go

And all I know is,

We’ve got what the world needs now,

We’ve got to break through somehow

So shout, shout, let it out,

Sooner or later it comes around,

I’ve got no one left to blame,

Maybe it’s Mabel Laine,

Break down, write it out,

Can’t change the world, only myself,

I’ve got no one left to blame,

Maybe It’s Mabel Laine

Nothing left for me in Charlotte,

And I wouldn’t be true if I stayed the same,

There comes a time made for moving

Momentum to keep the doubts at bay

‘Cause all I know is,

We’ve got what the world needs now,

We’ve got to break through somehow,

So shout, shout, let it out,

Sooner or later it comes around,

I’ve got no one left to blame,

Maybe it’s Mabel Laine,

Break down, write it out,

Can’t change the world, only myself,

I’ve got no one left to blame,

Maybe It’s Mabel Laine

Dear Poet, did you miss me?

Oh, I will always be the Nightingale,

But there comes a time made for moving,

Momentum to keep my doubts at bay,

‘Cause all I know is,

We’ve got what the world needs now,

We’ve got to break through somehow,

So shout, shout, let it out,

Sooner or later it comes around,

I’ve got no one left to blame,

Maybe it’s Mabel Laine,

Break down, write it out,

Can’t change the world, only myself,

I’ve got no one left to blame,

Maybe It’s Mabel Laine

I’ve got no one left to blame,

Maybe It’s Mabel Laine

Guess I was never meant to be a star

Midwest princess lighting up the dark

With hair so tangled Mother cut it off

Out of place, out of sight, out of mind,

Like the wind got tossed

She could forget the words she’s hearing

But eyeliner can’t fix skinny

Maybe it’s overrated

Trying to be somebody

I wanna move

But I gotta be true

Baby, I’m on rollerblades on the interstate

Just don’t pass me by,

Trying to stay alive

Watching all the wheels they keep on spinning

I wonder what I’m missing

All the cool kids cruisin’ at 78

While I’m on rollerblades

Took my skates across the prairie lands

Ozark mountains, on the trek again

Bet no one remembers passing this soul of mine

But I’ve seen every crack, every rock,

I know every line

There’s a whole lot of change and difference

Looking back across the distance

May be sentimental,

But I’m always leaving

I wanna move

But I gotta be true

Baby, I’m on rollerblades on the interstate

Just don’t pass me by,

Trying to stay alive

Watching all the wheels they keep on spinning

I wonder what I’m missing

All the cool kids cruisin’ at 78

While I’m on rollerblades

There’s a long lost kid where the black top starts

Trading cracker Jacks for a broke down car

They say “it’s just a part of life,

Pack it in, you’re not that kind”

With scraped up knees and tear-stained skin

Sun in your eyes, sweat on your lip

There’s a whole new scene if you just push through

But all the trucks scream past into the blue

It never stops all you wanna do…

But I gotta be true

Baby I’m on rollerblades on the interstate

Just don’t pass me by

Trying to stay alive

Watching all the wheels they keep on spinning

I wonder what I’m missing

All the cool kids cruising at 78

And even though there’s no trophy for being late

I’m thinking maybe, just maybe it’s no mistake

That I’m on rollerblades

New city, new school,

First day of independent life

Summer still burned

I was taking it all in stride

You sat down in front of me,

I couldn’t believe my luck

Never liked gold chains ‘til I saw one around your neck

I think you liked me too,

Trying to play it cool

Who would have known you were the one I would pray for,

For two whole years

So thanks for nothing

Made me queen for a day then you let me go

Thanks for nothing

Got a brand new beau

I got more to show, so,

Let’s give a hand

To the man who didn’t know what he had

I won’t take you back

No, I wouldn’t if I had the chance

You know I gotta thank you,

Thank you for nothing

Snapchat best friends,

Thinking that we’re good to go

Cause your friends, yeah they teased me,

Calling me your girl

You got my hopes up just before you became the ghost

Then it all made sense, two weeks later I saw your post

You were dancing with her,

Out at a wedding with her

I know I played hard to get,

I guess you didn’t want me bad

So thanks for nothing

Made me queen for a day then you let me go

Thanks for nothing

Got a brand new beau

I got more to show so,

Let’s give a hand

To the man who didn’t know what he had

I won’t take you back

No, I wouldn’t if I had the chance

You know I gotta thank you,

Thank you for nothing

Thank you for ghosting me

‘Cause my new man is twice as sweet

Yeah I got some bad advice

But I guess it turned out alright

Girls, don’t pray for the ones you want

Only the ones you love and love you back

So thanks for nothing

Made me queen for a day then you let me go

Thanks for nothing

Got a brand new beau

I got more to show so,

Let’s give a hand

To the man who didn’t know what he had

I won’t take you back

No, I wouldn’t if I had the chance

Thanks for nothing

Thanks for nothing

Thanks for nothing

Thanks, for nothing

Who said that you could let the walls fall through and call my phone?

Did you get the OK before you came my way, into my zone?

You were so poised and professional with a studio North on National,

‘Til you spilled your espresso and I was impressed so, what does that make me?

The closer I get, the harder I fall

‘Cause there’s a new side of you,

A new shade of blue in your eyes,

Your eyes,

And I kinda like,

You changin’ my mind,

‘Cause in you,

I see a thousand kinds,

And with you,

I’ll live a thousand lives

Well this ain’t no start but you could break my heart just like day one,

Thought I’d pin you down, memorize your sound, but we’ve just begun,

Yeah we’re a little unconventional, and always so multidimensional,

We make quite a pairing, if you’re comparing, we got something good,

The closer I get, the harder I fall

‘Cause there’s a new side of you,

A new shade of blue in your eyes,

Your eyes,

And I kinda like,

You changin’ my mind,

‘Cause in you,

I see a thousand kinds,

And with you,

I’ll live a thousand lives

Someone told me true love is boring,

I hope in twenty years we’re exploring,

Some new facet of us will prove them wrong,

‘Cause there’s a new side of you,

A new shade of blue in your eyes,

Your eyes,

And I kinda like,

You changin’ my mind,

‘Cause in you,

I see a thousand kinds,

And with you,

I’ll live a thousand lives

With you,

I’ll live a thousand lives,

With you

Maybe I’m the person,

Who’s afraid of being happy,

I think of worst case scenarios,

Ever since we left Ontario

But you were right,

From the night,

That we climbed up on the roof

Summer air,

We were there,

Without a worry ‘bout the story’s end

Until then,

Baby bring it in,

There’s cinnamon and sugar on my tongue tonight

And it’s all because of you,

That it’s perfect and nostalgic in my mind tonight,

I just want to spend forever with you,

But I guess right now will have to do

I guess I like to keep my distance,

From things to good to be true,

Just like I have a slight aversion,

To words made for coercion,

And there’s no,

Way to know,

How much time we really have,

Autumn breeze,

Golden ring,

We were crazy and we made our plan,

I’d do it again

So Baby bring it in,

There’s cinnamon and sugar on my tongue tonight,

And it’s all because of you,

That it’s perfect and nostalgic in my mind tonight,

I just want to spend forever with you,

But I guess right now will have to do

Oo, Whoa

But you were right,

From the night,

That we climbed up on the roof,

Summer air,

We were there,

Without a worry ‘bout the story’s end,

Until then

Baby bring it in,

There’s cinnamon and sugar on my tongue tonight,

And it’s all because of you,

That it’s perfect and nostalgic in my mind tonight,

I just want to spend forever with you,

But I guess right now will have to do

Hey love, we’ve been cooped up inside for what feels like eternity,

But the sun just came out today,

So strap on your roller skates,

And ride away with me

Don’t fret, there’s a blanket for warmth as we take in the shooting stars,

You can carry your debit card,

But I promise we won’t go far,

We’re not here to impress the crowd

‘Cause I don’t need champagne or shiny diamond rings,

No, you won’t turn my head with all those fancy things,

Just being at your side is a lavish feeling,

You know, you know ‘cause,

We got the whole downtown baby,

You can show me what you got in the arcade,

Saving the day,

As you take my hand I’m dreaming ‘bout the 80’s and feeling like a lady

You know these old houses make me,

Imagine all the possibilities,

Don’t you babe?

As we’re walking slowly, dreaming ‘bout the 70’s,

I’m feeling like a lady

And I know that the note on your door says they want more than the simple things,

They’re slaves to the modern age,

But I’m begging you, let’s escape,

We can steal the time away

‘Cause I don’t need champagne or shiny diamond rings,

No, you won’t turn my head with all those fancy things,

Just being at your side is a lavish feeling,

You know, you know ‘cause,

We got the whole downtown baby,

You can show me what you got in the arcade,

Saving the day,

As you take my hand I’m dreaming ‘bout the 80’s and feeling like a lady

You know these old houses make me,

Imagine all the possibilities,

Don’t you babe?

As we’re walking slowly, dreaming ‘bout the 70’s,

I’m feeling like a lady

Ooh, we’re only a step away,

Let’s escape the modern age,

Because we’ve got the time

Ooh, we’re only a step away,

Let’s escape the modern age,

Because we’ve got the time

And I don’t need champagne or shiny diamond rings,

No, you won’t turn my head with all those fancy things,

Just being at your side is a lavish feeling,

You know, you know ‘cause,

We got the whole downtown baby,

You can show me what you got in the arcade,

Saving the day,

As you take my hand I’m dreaming ‘bout the 80’s and feeling like a lady

You know these old houses make me,

Imagine all the possibilities,

Don’t you babe?

As we’re walking slowly, dreaming ‘bout the 70’s,

I’m feeling like a lady

Seventeen years on Nebraska plains

We were dust bowl fighters but we labored in vain,

For an emerald strung along the banks of the blue river

Some things come then they’re gone forever,

Some things money can’t buy but still we endeavor,

They’re tearing out the trees for a few more dollars a year

But you,

You taste like innocence and freedom and all the things I left behind,

You remind me

Yeah you,

You say I’m right where I need to be in purity, in place, in time

You’re taking me back

(Take, take, take me back)

To my oasis on the prairie

You’re taking me back

(Take, take, take me back)

To my oasis on the prairie

Eyes shut tight, walking every room

So if I’d go blind I could still make it through 

And Daddy’s on the road ‘cause we had a bad year or two

Now they’re pointing out flaws but to me it was perfect,

I’m crying when I wake up because they don’t deserve it,

They bought an old house but the memories left with me

But you,

You taste like innocence and freedom and all the things I left behind,

You remind me

Yeah you,

You say I’m right where I need to be in purity, in place, in time

You’re taking me back

(Take, take, take me back)

To my oasis on the prairie

You’re taking me back

(Take, take, take me back)

To my oasis on the prairie

These gravel roads can’t take me home

Looking forward’s all I’ve ever known but you,

Take me back, take me back yeah you,

Take me back, take me back, yeah

These gravel roads can’t take me home,

Looking forward’s all I’ve ever known but you,

Take me back, take me back yeah you,

Take me back, take me back

You’re taking me back

(Take, take, take me back)

To my oasis on the prairie

You’re taking me back

(Take, take, take me back)

To my oasis on the prairie

You want a girl who fits in boxes and lines,

Jungle girl’s made of roses and vines

One day she’s sunny, sweet like cherry lemonade,

Then she’s thunder in the pouring rain

But would you ever change her,

Darling, even if you had the chance?

‘Cause she’s your,

Jungle girl, jungle girl,

Oh, tell me is there

Anything, anything, anything alive?

She’s your,

Jungle girl, jungle girl,

Oh, tell me is there,

Anything, anything, anything, anything alive,

If it’s not free?

Anything, anything, anything, anything alive,

She’s your jungle girl, jungle girl,

Ooh Oh

She’ll pull you in, make you stay for a while,

She’s the girl who can drive you wild

No rhyme or reason, she’s beautiful and flawed,

Won’t carve her heart into a parking lot

But would you ever change her,

Darling, even if you had the chance?

‘Cause she’s your,

Jungle girl, jungle girl,

Oh, tell me is there

Anything, anything, anything alive?

She’s your,

Jungle girl, jungle girl,

Oh, tell me is there,

Anything, anything, anything, anything alive,

If it’s not free?

Anything, anything, anything, anything alive,

She’s your jungle girl, jungle girl,

Ooh Oh

You want a, you want a, you want a girl,

Who’s just like you

Well, what’s the point then?

You want a, you want a, you want a girl,

Who’s just like you

Well, what’s the point then?

You want a, you want a, you want a girl,

Who’s just like you

Well, what’s the point then?

Well, what’s the point then?

‘Cause she’s your,

Jungle girl, jungle girl,

Oh, tell me is there

Anything, anything, anything alive?

She’s your,

Jungle girl, jungle girl,

Oh, tell me is there,

Anything, anything, anything, anything alive,

If it’s not free?

Anything, anything, anything, anything alive,

She’s your jungle girl, jungle girl,

Ooh Oh

I think I've fallen under your spell

That dusky voice poured over me

Slender hands, they twirl and weave

You spin the notes into your tapestry

Summon the winds to accompany

You brought us here now to captivate

And though we're standing in a darkened room

It blows until we're carried away

Is it enough?

Is it enough?

'Cause I wonder if you ever cry like me

When I'm face to face with jealousy

Oh, I wonder if you're ever sad like me

It’s plain to see you're a little empty, Oh

You find your mercury?

You find your mercury?

I'm coming out from under your spell

Childish games won’t agree with me

Lonely girls with lonely dreams

Writing pop songs on lonely keys

Ain't no potion to fill the need

But dip your finger, just wait and see

Add some passion to your vanity

Drink it up now, try to believe

That it's enough

Is it enough?

’Cause I wonder if you ever cry like me

When I'm face to face with jealousy

Oh, I wonder if you're ever sad like me

It’s plain to see you're a little empty, Oh

You find your mercury?

You find your mercury?

You can pack your bags,

sail the seven seas,

Find the lost lands,

Learn every mystery,

Charm the crowd,

Look the part,

But you're a haunted heart,

And I'm a haunted heart

Are we all haunted hearts?

Cause I wonder if you ever cry like me

When I'm face to face with jealousy

Oh, I wonder if you're ever sad like me

It’s plain to see you're a little empty, Oh

You find your mercury?

You find your mercury?

You find your mercury?

You find your mercury?

She looks innocent and pure

Hiding from the world, whoa

Behind a youthful glow, button nose

And eyes that pierce the soul, whoa

‘Cause she knows,

Pandora’s box is inside her chest,

She’s keepin’ it shut now ‘cause Momma knows best

Pain is passion and passion is pain,

But it’s full speed ahead when you don’t feel a thing

She’s got the thick skin,

Won’t find her caving in

She won’t ever love you,

If she don’t ever want to

She’s got the thick skin,

She’ll take it on the chin

‘Cause that girl’s determined,

That you won’t leave her hurtin’

She’ll breeze right in,

Nothing to prove,

And watch you make a move, whoo

You’ll be treated kind,

But the girl’s got a hide,

Tougher than the leather jacket Johnny gave her last July

‘Cause she knows,

Pandora’s box is inside her chest,

She’s keepin’ it shut now ‘cause Momma knows best

Pain is passion and passion is pain,

But it’s full speed ahead when you don’t feel a thing

She’s got the thick skin,

Won’t find her caving in

She won’t ever love you,

If she don’t ever want to

She’s got the thick skin,

She’ll take it on the chin

‘Cause that girl’s determined,

That you won’t leave her hurtin’

Nothing’s gonna hurt her more than the emptiness inside

Nothing’s gonna hurt her more than the emptiness inside

So give me the thick skin,

Won’t find me caving in

I won’t ever love you,

If I don’t ever want to

Thick skin,

Won’t find her caving in

She won’t ever love you,

If she don’t ever want to

She’s got the thick skin,

She’ll take it on the chin

‘Cause that girl’s determined,

That you won’t leave her hurtin’

I’ve got these feelings for sale,

They’ve kept me kneeling far too long,

Heartache don’t come for free,

Why don’t you buy it from me?

‘Cause when my heart is gone,

Well it can’t be bruised,

Always keeping my cool,

I won’t be a fool

When my heart is gone,

Well I can’t be used,

So call in the next ten minutes,

And I’ll cut you a deal

Oh, I got these feelings for sale

We all got a heart beating, but for what?

Doomed to live a life of bleeding is all we are

Cash or check is OK,

Take a loan on a better day

‘Cause when my heart is gone,

Well it can’t be bruised,

Always keeping my cool,

I won’t be a fool

When my heart is gone,

Well I can’t be used,

So call in the next ten minutes,

And I’ll cut you a deal

Oh, I got these feelings

No, I wasn’t looking for love,

But I still found heartache

No, I wasn’t looking for love,

But I still found heartache

‘Cause here I am left reeling from that smile,

Wish I could just stop feeling and walk away with style,

I try to count the cost,

But going twice and I’m lost

But when my heart is gone,

Well it can’t be bruised,

Always keeping my cool,

I won’t be a fool

When my heart is gone,

Well I can’t be used,

So call in the next ten minutes,

And I’ll cut you a deal

Oh, I got these feelings for sale

Talk to me just like a symphony,

Your words resonate in my memory,

Like a river, you’re in the art of moving,

I could leave but you always call me back

So I’ll keep on waiting,

For you to heal the scars you made,

Open up the heavens,

Wrap me in your sweet embrace

And say you’re gonna love me back,

Please love me back,

Love me back,

Please love me back

Pierce my heart to make you stay,

Only you can make me feel this way,

Love me back,

Please love me back,

Love me back,

Please love me back,

Why you keep me hanging on?

You know I can only wait so long

I’ll surrender all my energy,

Black my eyes out to make you see,

Work my hands to the bone for your pleasure,

Still you lavish your gifts on another

But I’ll keep on waiting,

For you to heal the scars you made,

Open up the heavens,

Wrap me in your sweet embrace

And say you’re gonna love me back,

Please love me back,

Love me back,

Please love me back

Pierce my heart to make you stay,

Only you can make me feel this way,

Love me back,

Please love me back,

Love me back,

Please love me back,

Why you keep me hanging on?

You know I can only wait so long

Now I can feel the vibrations,

Is it you or is it my imagination?

I’ll give it everything I have,

But the music can’t love me back

I’ll give it everything I have,

But the music can’t love me

But say you’re gonna love me back,

Please love me back,

Love me back,

Please love me back

Why you keep me hanging on,

You know I can only wait so long

So done, so tired of this skin

Dig deep, find me trapped within

No end, no time to my heartbeat

Fall out, fall in to the melody

And little did you know,

You're walking on holy ground,

Tugging at my heartstrings,

Oh, I'm unravelling

Let's take a stroll,

Barefoot in my soul

'Cause I am poetry,

I’ll be your discovery,

Won’t you interpret me?

'Cause I am poetry

Sweep left, brush right, gently now

Un-dust, repair this broken pottery

To be known, to be loved is our enigma

Find truth, find hope, be my analogy

And little did you know,

You're walking on holy ground,

Tugging at my heartstrings,

Oh, I'm unravelling

Let's take a stroll,

Barefoot in my soul

'Cause I am poetry,

I’ll be your discovery,

Won’t you interpret me?

'Cause I am poetry

So tell me now, tell me now, tell me now,

Be my, be my analogy

Tell me now, tell me now, tell me now,

Be my, be my analogy

'Cause I am poetry,

I’ll be your discovery,

Won’t you interpret me?

'Cause I am poetry

I am poetry
