Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I’ll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

God knows you put your life in two a times
And it’s both cradled you and crushed
But now it’s time to make your own demands
Whoa

All these years later and it’s killing me
Your broken records and words
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
Whoa

No need to put your words into my mouth
Don’t need convincing at all
I love this place enough to have no doubt
Whoa

It’s a mess
It’s a start
It’s a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing ‘til you drop
Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

Tell me you never wanted more from this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
Whoa

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I’ll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

It’s a mess
It’s a start
It’s a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing ‘til you drop
Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
I love this city tonight
I love this city always

I’m having the day from hell,
it was all going so well (before you came)
And you told me you needed space,
With a kiss on the side my face (not again)
And not to mention (the tears I shed)
But I should have kicked your (ass instead)
I need intervention
Attention to to stop temptation to scream

‘cause baby

[chorus:]
Everything is F’ed up straight from the heart
Tell me what do you do, when it all falls apart
Gotta pick myself up where do I start
‘cause I can’t turn to you when it all falls apart
No

Don’t know where I parked my car
Don’t know who my real friends are (anymore)
I put my faith in you
What a stupid thing to do (when it rains it pours)
And not to mention (I drank too much)
I’m feeling hung over (and out of touch)
I need intervention
Attention to to stop temptation to scream

‘cause baby

[chorus]

Can it be easier?
Can I just change my life?
‘cause it just seems to go bad everytime
Will I be mending?
another one ending once again

[chorus x2]

Falls apart
Gotta pick myself up ‘cause things are messed up

After 12, not so well
Won’t pretend, it’s too soon to tell
What’s round this bend?
No disgrace, about face
Anything not to have to chase you down again
You know nothing hurts like loosing
When you know it’s really gone
Except for the pain of choosing
To hold too long

[Chorus:]
I tried it your way
But I got nothing to show
It’s been the same, same
And the story’s getting old
So I guess the driveway
Will be the end of the road
For us it’s too late
Let the credits start to roll

[Verse 2:]
A lot to say
But not today
Let the radio break the silence
As we drive
A kiss goodbye
Not this time
Don’t remember what about this song
I ever liked
You know nothing hurts like loosing
When you know I’m already gone
Except for the pain of choosing
To hold too long

[Chorus:]
I tried it your way
But I got nothing to show
It’s been the same, same
And the story’s getting old
So I guess the driveway
Will be the end of the road
For us it’s too late
Let the credits start to roll

[Bridge:]
I thought maybe we were getting somewhere
But we’re still nowhere at all
I watched your tail lights fading
I try but it still won’t fall
I remember what it feels like to know love
And have it taken away
Can’t think of what I’ve learned right now
But I’ll be thanking you someday

[Chorus:]
I tried it your way
But I got nothing to show
It’s been the same, same
And the story’s getting old
So I guess the driveway
Will be the end of the road
For us it’s too late
Let the credits start to roll

Let the credits start to roll
So I guess the driveway
Will be the end of the road,
End of the road

She was giving the world
So much that she couldn’t see
And she needed someone to show her,
Who she could be.
And she tried to survive
Wearing her heart on her sleeve
And I needed you to believe

You had your dreams, I have mine.
You had your fears, I was fine.
You showed me what I couldn’t find,
When two different worlds collide.

La dee da dee da

She was in her room, watching from far away.
She was given a role, never knew just when to play.
And she tried to survive
Living her life on her own
Always afraid of the throne
You’re going to need the strenth to find home.

You had your dreams, I have mine.
You had your fears, I was fine.
You showed me what I couldn’t find,
When two different worlds collide.

She was scared
Unprepared.
Lost in the dark.
Falling Apart,
I can survive,
With you by my side.
We’re gonna be alright.
This is what happens when two worlds collide.

You had your dreams, I have mine.
You had your fears, I was fine.
You show me what I couldn’t find,
When two different worlds collide.
La dee da dee da

You had your fears, I was fine.
You showed me what I couldn’t find,
When two different worlds collide.
When two different worlds collide.

How could you know
That behind my eyes a sad girl cried
And how could you know
That i hurt so much inside
And how could you know
That i’m not the average girl
I’m carrying the weight of the world

YEAH!
So can you get me outta here
Take me away
We’ll jump in the car
Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far
That we can’t
See this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So i can forget about this mess
If i lighten up a little bit,
Then i will be
Over It

I’m playin the role
Of the happy girl
But no one knows
Inside i’m alone
But i would never let it show
I get everyday
Too much work and not enough play
Over and over
It’s always the same
YEAH!
But you can make everything OK…

Take me away
We’ll jump in the car
Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far
That we can’t
See this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So i can forget about this mess
If i lighten up a little bit,
Then i will be
Over it
Over it

And when the world is closin’ in
I can leave it all and just walk away
I can always start all over again
I am closer to a better day
Take me away
We’ll jump in the car
Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far
That we can’t
See this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So i can forget about this mess
If i lighten up a little bit,
Then i will be

Take Me Away
Take Me Away
Take Me Away

We’ll jump in the car
Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far
That we can’t
See this place anymore
Take a day off
Give it a rest
So i can forget about this mess
If i lighten up a little bit,
Then i will be
If i lighten up a little bit,
Then i will be

Over It
Over It
I am Over It

wanna believe what I believe
That someday the future holds for me
Something special, yet something unique
Somewhere over the rainbow

Chorus:
I wanna be that girl who has everything
I wanna wish that I’m better, I’m gonna make it rain
I wanna fly like a bird and spread my wings
Come on, come on, come on
Hear me everything
I deserve on I can get you nothing you’ve seen
(I’m not really sure if that’s the right lyric, it’s hard to understand)
No, nothing yet
I’m gonna grab the brassy golden ring
Come on, come on
I want everything

Don’t need to dream cuz it’s all comin’ true
Don’t give me a choice cuz there’s nothin’ to choose
I’m on a mission, I’m not gonna lose
So don’t bet against me

I know it’s gonna happen
It’s a glorious fashion
I’ll know when I’m dancin’
In my mansion

Chorus 1x
(I want everything)

Don’t try cuz if you try
They’ll try to take it from you
Don’t try cuz if you try
They’ll try to take it from you

I wanna be that girl who has everything
(I don’t know these words) but it’s good to be me
I’m gonna fly like a bird and spread my wings
Come on, come on
I want everything

(Come on, come on, come on…)
Come on, come on
Hear me everything

I deserve on I can get you nothing you’ve seen
No, nothing yet
I’m gonna grab the brassy golden ring
Come on, come on
I want everything

I know it’s gonna happen…
Come on, come on…
It’s a glorious fashion
You’ll know when I’m dancin’
Come on, come on…
In my mansion
I want everything

I deserve on I can get you nothing you’ve seen
No, nothing yet
I’m gonna grab the brassy golden ring
Come on, come on
I want everything

Did you ever feel like you wanna be
someone else for just one day
did u ever feel like you wanna see
through another pair of eyes
Did u ever think I might wanna be
with anyone else for just one day
Did u ever really think of me
when I walked away

The look the dunks and the bottle of Jack
the smokes the slouch and my eyes back
you think you know what you think you’ll find
you think you’ll figure me out tonight
but you’ll never know what I won’t share
coz I don’t care, no I don’t care
you think you’ll figure me out tonight
but I don’t care

And I wonder, if I’m just built this way
coz every man that I know makes me feel like I’m to blame
when it’s over, me and my selfish ways
go back to start again
go back to start again

Did u ever feel like you should have said
something smarter at the time
Did u ever feel like you should have kept
it all to yourself
Did u ever think it might be your fault
I never promised anymore
Did u ever think it might not be me
now it was always me

The look the dunks and the bottle of Jack
the smokes the slouch and my eyes back
you think you know what you think you’ll find
you think you’ll figure me out tonight
but you’ll never know what I won’t share
coz I don’t care, no I don’t care
you think you’ll figure me out tonight
but I don’t care

And I wonder, if I’m just built this way
coz every man that I know makes me feel like I’m to blame
when it’s over, me and my selfish ways
go back to start again

And I wonder, if I’m just built this way
coz every man that I know makes me feel like I’m to blame
when it’s over, me and my selfish ways
go back to start again
go back to start again

The look the dunks and the bottle of Jack
the smokes the slouch and my eyes back
you think you know what you think you’ll find
you think you’ll figure me out tonight
but you’ll never know what I won’t share
coz I don’t care, no I don’t care
you think you’ll figure me out tonight
but I don’t care

And I wonder, if I’m just built this way
coz every man that I know makes me feel like I’m to blame
when it’s over, me and my selfish ways
go back to start again

And I wonder, if I’m just built this way
coz every man that I know makes me feel like I’m to blame
when it’s over, me and my selfish ways
go back to start again
go back to start again
go back to start again

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don’t belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don’t know what it’s like
When nothing feels all right
You don’t know what it’s like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you’re bleeding

No you don’t know what it’s like
When nothing feels all right
You don’t know what it’s like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I’m happy but I’m not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like (what it’s like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I’m wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for you
I can’t pretend that
I’m alright
And you can’t change me

‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry
I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late and
We can’t go back
I’m sorry
I can’t be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don’t care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for you
I can’t stand another fight
And nothing’s alright

‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry
I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late and
We can’t go back
I’m sorry
I can’t be perfect

Nothing’s gonna change the things that you said
Nothing’s gonna make this right again
Please don’t turn your back
I can’t believe it’s hard
Just to talk to you
But you don’t understand

‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry
I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late and
We can’t go back
I’m sorry
I can’t be perfect

‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry
I can’t be perfect
Now it’s just too late and
We can’t go back
I’m sorry
I can’t be perfect

You think you’re going nowhere
When you’re walking down the street
You’re acting like you just don’t care
When life can be so sweet

Why you wanna be like that
Cause if there’s nothing new
You’re not fooling no one
You’re not even fooling you

So walk a little slower
and open up your eyes
Sometimes it’s so hard to see
the good things passing by

There may never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right

(So) Why not
(Why not?)
Take a crazy chance
Why not
(Why not?)
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
you might lose a lot
So why not
Why not

(Why not take a crazy chance
why not take a crazy chance)

You always dress in yellow
when you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you’re told
You keep waiting where you are
What you’ll never know
Let’s just get into your car
And Go baby Go

(So) Why not
(Why not)
Take a crazy chance
Why not
(Why not)
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
why not

Ohh
I could be the one for you
Ohh yeah
Maybe yes, maybe no
Ohh
It could be the thing to do
What I’m saying is
You gotta let me know

Ooh ah
ai ya
ai ya
ah ai
ya

Ooh ah
ai ya
ai ya
ah ai
ya

You’ll never get to heaven
Or even to L.A.
If you don’t believe there’s a way

Why not
(Why not)
Take a star from the sky
Why not
(Why not)
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
Or it might take a lot
So why not
why not

Why not
(Take a crazy chance)
Why not
(Do a crazy dance)
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not
