Back To You

I thought oh my my, I'm looking at a dream
First time I looked at you
One hand in your pocket, ripped blue jeans
Taking in the room
and I thought oh my god, if he comes over
I might just him a chance
Nice to meet you, where you been
Do you want to dance?
Now I want to feel the way that we did that night (that night)
Alone in a room full of strangers with stars in their eyes
But I got caught up in the concrete jungle
Following the yellow moon
Want to get back, want to get back, get back to you
We rode the Queen car east, we walked along the beach
You held me close to you,
But then the storm clouds came, thunder and rain
I lost my way to you
Now I want to feel the way that we did that night (that night)
Alone in your arms while the stars shone like sparks in the sky
But I got caught up in the concrete jungle
Following the yellow moon
Want to get back, want to get back, get back to you
I want to see you in the morning
When the sun comes streaming through
Want to get back, want to get back, get back to you
when I find you
I'll will hold you
hold you all night long
hold you tighter
hold you closer
than anyone
I won't let go
I won't let go
I got caught up in the concrete jungle
Following the yellow moon
Want to get back, want to get back, get back to you
I want to see you in the morning
When the sun comes streaming through
Want to get back, want to get back, get back to you
I've been looking for love in all the wrong faces
Opening my heart in all the wrong places
Want to get back, want to get back, get back to you
I got caught up in the concrete jungle
Following the yellow moon ooo ooo
Want to get back to you
Want to get back to you
Want to get back to you

Do You Want To Be Loved

Every time our eyes meet
Across a crowded room
It's almost more than I can take
Every time you're near me
I feel it in the air
And the pounding of my heart gives me away
Kiss me, if you want to be loved, do you want to be loved?
Do you want to be loved?
Cuz this feels, like we're falling in love, are we falling in love?
Do you wanna be loved?
Like a sudden earthquake
She broke your heart in two
And you don't need another goodbye
Baby take a deep breath
Let go and let me in
Cuz I'm not here to waste precious time
Kiss me, if you want to be loved, do you want to be loved?
Do you want to be loved?
Cuz this feels, like we're falling in love, are we falling in love?
Do you wanna be loved?
we ride the subway, and read the signs
your leg pressed against mine
you are where my gaze always lands
I am in your hands
Kiss me, if you want to be loved, do you want to be loved?
Do you want to be loved?
Cuz this feels, like we're falling in love, are we falling in love?
Do you wanna be loved?
Every time our eyes meet
Across a crowded room
Its almost more than I can take

Damaged Goods

Remember when I took off down the drive
It was a cold and wet December night
You threw your glass at the floor
I flew out the front door
It was a hella hellava fight
I'm damaged goods
you're damaged to0
So I do me
and you do you
We got the kind of love
that doesn't give up
I'm damaged goods
but that don't mean
I don't need love
Remember when you slept out on the porch
You came home so late I bolted the door
These days I think life's too short
Just a wave crash on the shore
Isn't it time we made love not war?
I'm damaged goods
you're damaged too
So I do me
and you do you
We got the kind of love
that doesn't give up
I'm damaged goods
every time you leave
you break a piece of me
I'm down on my knees
don't give up on me please
I'm damaged goods
you're damaged too
So I do me
and you do you
We got the kind of love
that doesn't give up
I'm damaged goods
but that don't mean
I don't need your love

Tailspin

she shuts you down, she likes control
she speaks to you like you're a child
removes you like the ring on her hand
and now I can't shake it off I want to save you
you're going down in a tailspin
you don't know where she ends and you begin
your going down but I will be there
to pick up the pieces and lift you up in the air
she tears you down rips you apart
then builds you up like she's got a heart
I listen when you come to speak your truth
and wonder why she don't love you like I do
you're going down in a tailspin
you don't know where she ends and you begin
your going down but I will be there
to pick up the pieces and lift you up in the air
my love my love my love I will fix you
my love my love my love be your parachute
you're going down....
you don't know where she ends and you begin
your going down but I will be there
to pick up the pieces and lift you up in the air

We Got This

If you don't care
Why are you still here?
If I'm not the one for you
Why hold me like you do?
If it's time
Time to move along
Why do we talk and talk
Until our voices are gone?
Baby let me say one more thing
Let me try to ease your mind
Cuz you mean the world to me
And love is not a waste of time
Baby we got this
We got this
We got so much love it hurts
We got this
I knew it from the first
Baby we got this
If you're waiting for me
To turn and set you free
Your gonna wait a long long time
Cuz I want you by my side
Baby put your suitcases down
Reach over and draw the shade
Cuz I wanna remind you now
Of all the love we've made
Baby we've got this
We've got this
We've got so much love it hurts
Baby we've got this
You knew it from the first
Baby we got this
Step away from the door
And hold me tight
I don't want to fight anymore
Baby we got this
We got this
We got so much love it hurts
Baby we got this
We knew it from the first
Baby we got this

Tightrope
02:43
|
|||
|
They're dancing on the table
party games on their phones
I'm feeling kinda anxious
walking in alone
Shoes piled by the front door
jackets on the bed
and you surrounded by a group of girls
hanging on what you've said
And I've never felt more drawn in
More dazzled by the view
And I keep getting higher
As I make my way to you
I feel like I'm walking on a tightrope
carrying all of these high hopes
I promised you I'd show up
well guess what? here I am
I'd tell you I can't stay late
but time melts in your hands
And you crown my words with laughter
Kiss me on the cheek
I wonder will you catch me
if I get knocked off my feet
I feel like I'm walking on a tightrope
carrying all of these high hopes
I feel like I'm walking on a tightrope
carrying all of these high hopes
It's a very thin line
you know it's true
a very thin line
I walk for you
I feel like I'm....
carrying all of these....
I feel like I'm walking a fine line between
Just for now and all mine
I feel like I'm walking on a tightrope
carrying all of these high hopes
I feel like I'm walking a fine line between
Just for now and all mine
