Sara Bareilles Lyrics

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road lyrics - Sara Bareilles

(originally by Elton John)

When are you gonna come down?

When are you going to land?

I should have stayed on the farm

I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever

I didn't sign up with you

I'm not a present for your friends to open

This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh, I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then?

I bet that'll shoot down your plane

It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement

There's plenty like me to be found

Mongrels who ain't got a penny

Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh, I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl

You can't plant me in your penthouse

I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh, I've finally decided my future lies

I've finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road

I Just Want You lyrics - Sara Bareilles

Give me a heart to hold the godlike truth

Give me one good soul that I can tell it through

Give me good reason to believe in you

And give me strength if you have time

Give me two hands that'll hold this up

And know you give me no more than just enough

You gave a pair of brown eyes that could call a good bluff

And somebody who thinks they shine

You, I just want you

I just want you

Spent most of my life on a microphone

Giving all that I got 'til I head back home

And when the lights go out, and I'm all alone

I've got no reason to be crying

And on a bad day I feel like a masochist

Take it away from me if it's for the best

Somehow I've ended up the head of this

Freight train that isn't mine

You, I just want you

I just want you

So take it all away

If it isn't meant for me

I don't want the easy way

I just want you

They can give me everything

But at the end of the day

The only words I'll say

Is "I just want you"

Ooooh, mmmm, mmmm

It's all so simple when you break it all down

Two roads converged down on a hallowed ground

It's taken all my life to hear the sacred sound

Of sweet simplicity

Saying "Give it all back, it don't mean a thing"

You got a short-lived life and a song to sing

And the only way up is believing

In never looking down

So take it all away

If it isn't meant for me

I don't want the easy way

I just want you

They can give me everything

But at the end of the day

The only words I'll say

Is "I just want you"

You, you, you

You, you, you, mmmm

(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay lyrics - Sara Bareilles

Sittin' in the morning sun

I'll be sittin' til the evening comes

Watching the ships roll in

And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah

Sitting on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Oh, oh

Left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco bay

'Cause I got nothing to live for

And nothing's gonna come my way, yeah

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change

Everything's gonna stay the same

I can't do what ten people tell me do

So guess I'm just gonna stay the same

I'm sittin' here, resting my bones

'Cause this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's two thousand miles I roam

Just to make this dock my home

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh,

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wasitn' time, wastin' time, wastin' time

Any Way The Wind Blows lyrics - Sara Bareilles

Can't tell you the truth--

'least I don't like 'bout that.

A kind of comfort in you

comes when you lie right back

Safe from such a strange point of view:

to hear your own words on you.

I'm onto you; go to be gone,

you are any way the wind blows

Any way the wind blows in.

Don't wanna come down too low

Any way the wind blows,

any way the wind blows in

Any way the wind blows in.

Same all the creatures, we are

chasing the pipe dream down.

Love elusive so far

keeps us divided now

Go, go on and write me love songs

so I've something to sing when you're gone.

I'm onto you; go to be gone,

you are any way the wind blows

Any way the wind blows in.

Don't wanna come down too low.

Any way the wind blows,

any way the wind blows in.

Don't wanna come down, do you know the way

to be in one place but sway any way the wind's blowing?

You are loved.

You are monsters and angels:

untouched, unseen.

All in one, I take all that you are

'cause you're just like me

But you move,

and it's hard to stay close to a satellite

So I lose sight of you

till you come 'round again

I'm watching the wind.

Hey-ey, hey-ey

Hey-ey, yeah

Any way the winds blow in

I'm onto you; go to be gone,

you are any way the wind blows

Any way the wind blows in.

Don't wanna come down too low.

Any way the wind blows,

any way the wind blows in.

Don't wanna come down, do you know the way

to be in one place but stay any way the wind's blowing?

Any way the wind's blowing

August Moon lyrics - Sara Bareilles

I must be crazy

I can't see straight anymore

I'm ten feet from your door.

Surprise, dear--you both don't know

that I'm here watching alone.

My worst fear, now my home.

Such a cruel

Such a cruel heart

Such a cruel, cruel heart.

Her eyes, they shine on you

While I stay under the August moon

and I pray sleep comes soon

Why did I come here?

Look what you've undone, dear

Once two, now one here.

Just a cruel

Just a cruel heart

Just a cruel, cruel heart.

I don't know what I'm gonna say

when I go, who I'm gonna blame

in this pain, in this goodbye, oh.

I don't brave, broken down

and I crave the very ground

that I'm slave to

and I'll cry on.

I'm ten feet from your door

My heart beat not anymore

I'm empty and not yours.

Just a cruel

Just a cruel heart

Just a cruel, cruel, cruel heart

Just a cruel, cruel heart.

Floorplan lyrics - Sara Bareilles

(originally by Tegan and Sara)

I want to draw you a floorplan of my head and heart

I want to give directions, helpful hints

What you'll be looking for

I know, I'll hold this loss in my heart forever

I know, I'll hold, I'll hold

I know, I'll hold this loss in my heart forever

I know, I'll hold, I'll hold

I'll hold

All eyes are on me now

I want your lungs to stop working without me

I think about writing you, I thought about calling you

What was I looking for?

What am I looking for?

I know, I'll hold this pain in my heart forever

I know, I'll hold, I'll hold

I know, I'll hold this pain in my heart forever

I know, I'll hold, I'll hold

I'll hold

All eyes are on me now

I shouldn't go but I can't really help it

When I feel this pressure

I shouldn't go but I can't really help it

When I feel this pressure

All eyes are on me now

Shouldn't go but I can't really help it

(Shouldn't go)

I shouldn't go but I can't really help it

(Shouldn't go)

I shouldn't go but I can't help it

(Shouldn't go)

When I feel this pressure

(Shouldn't go)

I shouldn't go when I feel this building

(Shouldn't go)

I shouldn't go when I feel this building

(Shouldn't go)

I shouldn't go but I can't really help it

(Shouldn't go)

When I feel this building

Pressure

Free Ride lyrics - Sara Bareilles

Look how you're standing there

There with your hands out

Standing next to the road that goes up

Running your mouth about how you're gonna wait for the one that comes down

Who do you think you are? Somebody's baby?

You want what everyone has but you want your name on it

Think it happens like that? That would be nice wouldn't it

I've gotta be careful of you

I wanna get there too

You wanna go, but you want a free ride

You want it in but standing on the outside

I'm not the one to call when it comes undone

You want the world, but don't wanna pay out

Don't wanna hurt, and don't wanna say out loud that I'm right

There's no end in sight waiting on a free ride

You say your turn is coming and that's what you told me

So you stand in one place and wait for the tunnel to light up your face and award you for what you haven't done

And I know it's out of my hands

But I had to pay with blood, sweat, and tears while you dare to say that your lucky days passed you

You wanna go, but you want a free ride

You want it in, but standing on the outside

I'm not the one to call when it comes undone

You want the world, but don't wanna pay out

Don't wanna hurt, and don't wanna say out loud that I'm right

There's no end in sight waiting on a free ride

I see you when the lights rise up

You want some too

How could anyone blame you

I see you when the lights rise up

You want some too

How could anyone blame you

You wanna go, but you wanna free ride

You want it in, but standing on the outside

I'm not the one to call when it comes undone

You want the world, but don't wanna pay out

Don't wanna hurt, and don't wanna say out loud that I'm right

There's no end in sight waiting on a free ride

Waiting on a free ride

Since you've been gone

If I Dare lyrics - Sara Bareilles

(from "Battle Of The Sexes" soundtrack)

If I dare to ask it

Then I dare it to be true

If I dare to risk it

Then I know that I'm willing to

If I dare to want this

To want more than I have

Then I dare to believe

I'll have it in the end

You climbed the mountain

Sent pictures of the view

And still can't believe when

I started climbing too

You haven't heard that

I'm not afraid to fall

That I'm not deterred yet

Until I tell them all

I am holding out

For more than what I have now

I'm holding out

I don't want your pity

I won't use your little scraps

I don't build my cities

With what could get taken back

I don't need permission

To rise up when it hurts

You don't have to listen

But you'll hear me mark my words

I am holding out

For more than what I have now

I'm holding out

When the room gets dark and I am quiet

There's a voice that's soft like someone's silhouette

Sayin' don't let me go yet

I am holding out

For more than what I have now

I'm holding out

If I dare to ask it

Then I dare it to be true

If I dare to risk it

Then I know that I'm willing to

If I dare to want this

To want more than I have

Then I dare to believe

I'll have it in the end

Love Is Christmas lyrics - Sara Bareilles

I don’t care if the house is packed,

Or the strings of light are broken.

I don’t care if the gifts are wrapped,

Or there’s nothing here to open.

Love is not a toy, and no paper will conceal it.

Love is simply joy that I’m home.

I don’t care if the carpet's stained; we've got food upon our table.

I don’t care if it’s gonna rain, our little room is warm and stable.

Love is who we are, and no season can contain it.

Love would never fall for that.

We sing oooooooooooooooo

Oooooooooooooo

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Let love lead us, love is Christmas.

Why so scared that you’ll mess it up? When perfection keeps you haunted.

All we need is your best my love, that’s all anyone ever wanted.

Love is how we do, let no judgment overrule it.

Love I look to you, and I sing.

Oooooooooooooooooo

Oooooooooooo

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ooooooooooooooooo

Let love lead us, love is Christmas.

Only Shadows lyrics - Sara Bareilles

Babe, will you save me a dance by the river

Moonlight is serving us well

She makes the whole world silhouette

Makes it flicker like film on a strip

Don’t let the sadness in yet to react as if

Somehow it’s all come and gone

Let’s pretend we’re all healed up and happy and moved on

Tonight let the moon come shine

Let us remain you and I

Tell the sun not to rise

For the darkest time

Moonlight keep us steady

Give me one more night then I’m ready

To let go, to know we are only shadows.

Babe, I’m so sorry to ask

I’m ashamed but tonight I just can’t give you up

I shackled myself to the past and my will has gone missing

Let’s call our shadow selves out for the evening

And watch them remember our love

Tomorrow will come and I know they’ll be leaving

That our time is up

Tonight let the moon come shine

Let us remain you and I

Tell the sun not to rise for the darkness lies

Moonlight keep us steady

Give me one more night then I’m ready

To let go, to know we will are only shadows, only shadows, only shadows

Playing For Change lyrics - Sara Bareilles

Playing for love

Playing for keeps

Playing for light come down

And set me free

Playing to say

Playing for change

Playing for peace

Brother, Brother

Come walk with me

Show me the tops of the canyons above the sea

And say look around you

This kingdom’s wide

To carry the weight of this world with pride

I am humbled

And I’m confused

There is no mountain I’ve found here that I can move

You say sweet love

Your heart is great

So will you follow it closely and let it show you your fate

And keep playing for love

Playing for keeps

Playing for light come down

And set me free

Playing to say

Playing for change

Playing for peace

Darling, Darling

Come take my hand

See that no border, no boundary can hold you in

And let loose your voices

And raise them up

Remember to let through the music it helps to continue to carry us

Playing for love

And playing for keeps

Playing for light come down

Set us free

Playing to say

Playing for change

Playing for peace

Ooh ooh

I am playing for love

Playing for keeps

I’m playing for light come down

And set me free

I’m playing to say

Playing for change

Playing for peace

Pretend lyrics - Sara Bareilles

I know we're headed for the open road

Don't know where to go.

We've got our separate ways in the same direction

Getting nowhere slow

We saw the end was coming

Credits rolling in a few hundred miles back

Oh, but our horizon tends to be deceiving

You never quite know where it's at.

Baby, can we just pretend we're not telling lies and this ain't ending

No talk, no time, no goodbyes

Nothing left of expectations, just you and me:

Impulsive creations with an alibi.

But the moment is precious for its brevity

This one's good as gold

It's a compromise of little white lies

The truth remains untold.

Baby, can we just pretend we're not telling lies and this ain't ending

No talk, no time, no goodbyes

Nothing left of expectations, just you and me:

Impulsive creations with an alibi.

Do what you will, but don't go, darling.

What story ends before it's started?

Final words and we'll be on our way, yeah.

One last thing, my dear departed:

Save tomorrow for the brokenhearted.

Aw, don't let it break today

Don't let it break today

No, not today.

Song For A Soldier lyrics - Sara Bareilles

Ooh...

Since you went away,

You can color me, colour me, colour me, colour me in grey

So I'm working on the words I want to say

I never knew, never knew, never knew your name

You're just my soldier, babe

You lost track of the days

They come and they go, and they come and they go

There's no way that I could keep up with it

And I pray

And I wonder, wonder, wonder if you hear me

Ten thousand miles away

Hey soldier

I'm missing your life

Wish I could hold ya

And make it alright

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

That you're my soldier

But goodnight

You know it's gonna take, gonna take, gonna take more time

Till we're staring up at the same sky

And so I'm going to wait, going to wait, going to wait in line

Till my soldier's mine

Hey soldier

I'm missing your life

Wish I could hold ya

And make it alright

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

That you're my soldier

Goodnight

I don't care how long it takes

I'm not going anywhere, love (no)

You see there

This distance only makes me

Say it over and over till it gets to you

My soldier (ooh)

Hey soldier

I'm missing your life

Wish I could hold ya

And make it alright

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

You're my soldier

Goodnight

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

That you're my soldier

Goodnight (Goodnight)

Goodnight, Goodnight

Mmm...

Splintering lyrics - Sara Bareilles

We found a tender love it blossomed wild and free.

Pure proof was in your arms when you were kissing me.

I was an open book, you were an ocean breeze;

rustling through pages I never should have let you see.

Never should have let you see.

Was I so wrong being such an open book?

Trusting so soon, losing all the tender time it took to love you,

just to crawl away with broken wings

and the pieces of my heart still splintering.

The pieces of my heart still splintering.

Friend’s asking where you are, say I misunderstood.

I say he’s gone away, but he’s not gone for good.

Speak of romantic plans we’re looking forward to.

Meanwhile, imagining you end up with someone new.

Was I so wrong being such an open book?

Trusting so soon, losing all the tender time it took to love you,

just to crawl away with broken wings

and the pieces of my heart still splintering.

The pieces of my heart still splintering.

It’s surely over now, but how I ache inside.

This ocean full of tears that I’m about to cry.

You’re sorry for this pain, yeah, that’s not what you meant.

I’m sorry too but my feelings more permanent.

Was I so wrong being such an open book?

Trusting so soon, losing all the tender time it took to love you,

just to crawl away with broken wings

and the pieces of my heart still splintering.

The pieces of my heart still splintering.

The pieces of my heart still, pieces of my heart.

Theodosia Reprise lyrics - Sara Bareilles

(originally by Lin-Manuel Miranda)

Dear Theodosia

How to say to you?

Sometime last night

Your mother breathed your name

And like a flame

That flickers out too soon

She died

She's gone

She dedicated every day to you

She changed my life

She made my life worthwhile

And when you smile

I know a part of her lives on

I know I can go on

You have come of age with our young nation

We bleed and fight for you

Sometimes it seems that's all we do

And you and I will build a strong foundation

And I'll be here for you

The way is clear for you

To blow us all away (some day)

Some day, some day

Blow us all away (some day)

Some day, some day

Blow us all away (some day)

Some day

Oooh

Some day

Blow us all away

Some day

Tightrope lyrics - Sara Bareilles

(originally by Michelle Ingrid Williams)

Some people long for a life that is simple and planned, tied with a ribbon

Some people won't sail the sea, 'cause they're safer on land

To follow what's written but I'd follow you to the great unknown

Off to a world we call our own

Hand in my hand and we promise to never let go

We're walking a tightrope

High in the sky we can see the whole world down below

We're walking a tightrope

Never sure, never know how far we could fall

But it's all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view

Walking a tightrope with you

Mountains and valleys and all that will come in between

Desert and ocean

You pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream

Oh, he's in motion so I risk it all

Just to be with you

And I'll risk it all for this life we choose

Hand in my hand and you promise to never let go

We're walking a tightrope

High in the sky we can see the whole world down below

We're walking a tightrope

Never sure, but you catch me if I should fall

Well, it's all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking view

Walking the tightrope with you

When You Wish Upon A Star lyrics - Sara Bareilles

(from "Disney 100")

When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires

Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star

As dreamers do

When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires

Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star

As dreamers do

Fate is kind

She brings to those who love

The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue

Fate steps in and sees you through

When you wish upon a star

Your dreams come dreams come

True...

(When you wish upon a star)

Your dreams come true...

Winter Song lyrics - Sara Bareilles (with Ingrid Michaelson)

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

Bum bum bum bum bum bum

This is my winter song to you

The storm is coming soon

It rolls in from the sea

My voice; a beacon in the night

My words will be your light

To carry you to me

Is love alive?

Is love

They say that things just cannot grow

Beneath the winter snow

Or so I have been told

They say we're buried far

Just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold

Is love alive?

This is my winter song

December never felt so wrong

Cause you're not where you belong

Inside my arms

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

Bum bum bum bum bum bum

I still believe in summer days

The seasons always change

And life will find a way

Ill be your harvester of light

And send it out tonight

So we can start again

Is love alive?

This is my winter song

December never felt so wrong

Cause you're not where you belong

Inside my arms

This is my winter song to you

The storm is coming soon

It rolls in from the sea

My love; a beacon in the night

My words will be your light

To carry you to me

Is love alive?

WONDER lyrics - morgxn & Sara Bareilles

Lately, I've been so disconnected

My feet don't wanna touch the ground

Can't find my way through this dimension

When all these voices drown me out

I feel so far from my body

It's hard to find a way back

Everyone tells me I'm crazy

Well maybe, well maybe I am

Oh, I wonder

I wonder if anyone will hear this

I wonder if I'll ever be fearless

I wonder if I'll end up alone

Don't know where I'm goin'

Oh, I wonder

If what I say will matter to someone

If I'll go broke tryin' to keep on

I wonder, I wonder

Oh, I wonder

Some days, I'm like a fallin' feather

Floatin', I don't know where to land

Why are we lookin' for an answer

When the question's way too hard to understand?

Oh, I wonder

I wonder if anyone will hear this

I wonder if I'll ever be fearless

I wonder if I'll end up alone

Don't know where I'm goin'

Oh, I wonder

If what I say will matter to someone

If I'll go broke tryin' to keep on

I wonder, I wonder

Oh, I wonder

I wonder if anyone will hear this

I wonder if I'll ever be fearless

I wonder if somebody will miss me

This life is a mystery, oh

Oh, I wonder

If what I say will matter to someone

If I'll go broke tryin' to keep on

I wonder, I wonder

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder

Oh, I wonder...

Kaleidoscope Heart Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

All the colors
Of the rainbow
Hidden 'neath my skin

Hearts have colors
Don't we all know?
Red runs through our veins

Feel the fire burning up
Inspire me with blood
Of blue and green

I have hope
Inside is not a heart
But a kaleidoscope

Uncharted Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

No words, My tears won't make any room for more,
And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is
No broken heart,
No familiar scars,
This territory goes uncharted...

Just me, in a room sunk down in a house in a town, and I
Don't breathe, no I never meant to let it get away from me
Now, too much to hold, everybody has to get their hands on gold,
And I want uncharted.
Stuck under the ceiling I made, I can't help but feeling...

I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted...

La la la-a-a-a.
Oh-h-h.

Each day, countin' up the minutes, till I get alone, 'cause I can't stay
In the middle of it all, it's nobody's fault, but I'm
So lonely, Never knew how much I didn't know,
Oh, everything is uncharted.
I know I'm getting nowhere, when I only sit and stare like...

I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, of foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted.

Jump start my kaleidoscope heart,
Love to watch the colors fade,
They may not make sense,
But they sure as hell made me.

I won't go as a passenger, no
Waiting for the road to be laid
Though I may be going down,
I'm taking flame over burning out

Compare, where you are to where you want to be, and you'll get nowhere

I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
Oh-h
I'm going down,
Follow if you want, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted...

Gonna Get Over You Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

Goodbye
Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Layin' down the law that I live by,
Though maybe next time

I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone,
A wrong one

And I tell myself to let the story end,
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
My 'why not me?' philosophy began,
And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,
Hang from your hands

Well, no more,
I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?
It's not me anymore

And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
But this time not for you but just for me,
And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Say it's coming soon,
Someday without you,
All I can do
Is get me past the ghost of you,

Wave goodbye to me,
I won't say I'm sorry,
I'll be alright
once I find the other side of someday
Oohoohooohoohooh...
Oohoohooohoohooh...

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Hold My Heart Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

I never meant to be the one to let you down
If anything, I thought I saw myself going first
I didn't know how to stick around
How to see anybody but me be getting hurt

I keep remembering the summer night
And the conversation breaking up the mood
I didn't want to tell you you were right
Like the season changing, oh, I felt it too

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you

I'm not the kind to try to tell you lies
But the truth is you've been hiding from it too
I see the end sneaking in behind your eyes
Saying everything no words could ever do

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you

Is anybody listening?
'Cause I'm crying
Is anybody listening?

Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you

King Of Anything Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

Keep drinkin' coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside

So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet
And count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked

So let me thank you for time
And try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you know best

But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
Ride off into your dellusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction oh
But you won't ever see

You're so busy makin' maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talkin' down just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

All my life
I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt
And hide
Waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

Let me hold your crown, babe
Oh oh
Ah

Say You're Sorry Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

Circus of silence down at our feet
Paper cut tigers starting to bleed
Hang from your tightrope above the mess
Just say you're sorry, no more no less
Words you won't use, you don't feel them like I do
Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry

I used to believe that the storybook's true
Now I don't need it, at least not with you
So if you see him, the man 'neath the mask
Tell him I'm leaving and not looking back
Words are no use, you don't need them like I do
Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry

I want the one word that you refuse to say to me
You're so good at giving me responsibility
I wash my hands clean and let you watch me as I go
I'm sorry for you, just so you know

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you're sorry

The Light Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

In the morning it comes, heaven sent a hurricane
Not a trace of the sun but I don't even run from rain
Beating out of my chest, my heart is holding on to you
From the moment I knew
From the moment I knew

You were the air in my breath filling up my love soaked lungs
Such a beautiful mess intertwined and overrun
Nothing better than this, ooh, and then the storm can come
You feel just like the sun
Just like the sun

And if you say be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say be alright
I'll follow you into the light

Never mind what I knew, nothing seems to matter now
Ooh, who I was without you, I can do without
No one knows where it ends, how it may come tumbling down
But I'm here with you now
I'm with you now

And if you say be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say be alright
I'll follow you into the light

And if you say be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say be alright
I'll follow you into the light

Basket Case Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
I'm just basket case without you

He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
And now I'm just a basket case without him

You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case

I don't say much and it'll stay that way
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay
So I'll stay right here underneath you
I'm just a basket case and that what we do

You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case

Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams?
Oh, send your armies in of robbers and thieves
To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore

You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case

Let The Rain Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

I wish I were pretty
I wish I were brave
If I owned this city
Then I'd make it behave

And if I were fearless
Then I'd speak my truth
And the world would hear this
That's what I wish I'd do, yeah

If my hands could hold them you'd see
I'd take all these secrets in me
And I'd move and mold them to be
Something I'd set free

I want to darken in the skies
Open the floodgates up
I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time

I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down tonight

I hold on to worry so tight
It's safe in here right next to my heart
Who now shouts at the top of her voice
Let me go, let me out, this is not my choice

And I always felt it before
That the world was filled with much more
Than the drowning soul I've learned to be
I just need the rain to remind me

I want to darken in the skies
Open the floodgates up
I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time

I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down

I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down

I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down tonight

Machine Gun Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

Tell me off in a letter
Completely ignore me
Getting high off of saying
Why you don't adore me?

Baby, please, I'm well versed
In how I might be cursed
I don't need it articulated

Stand in line wasting
All of your time just to hate me
Every dime gone to ways
You can find that might bait me

And drag me down, sight set proudly
Bring me to the ground see
You love to be somebody's enemy

Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun

Locked and loaded
You're practically floating away now
In your fortress you feel like
You're more or less safe now

But let me say I don't mean harm
Oh, but, baby, you'd be charming if you'd come undone
Get back where you started from

Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun

Never mind how you've rationed your time
And the battle is underway
Maybe times are gonna change
Don't just hide in the silence behind

What you've really been trying to say
What a skill, baby, aiming to kill me
With words you don't mean

Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry, nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun

Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun
Machine gun

Not Alone Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

It comes calling in the evening
When the temperature is dropping out
They said it don't get cold here
But I beg to differ now

There is something in the shadows
More than sister silhouette
Something sinister and strange
That I haven't seen yet

And I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feel
I'm not alone

You don't have to fight the bad guys
Throwing punches out into the black
If you have to tell me lies, I don't care
Just give me some good back

I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feel
I'm not alone

And if I only worry 'bout it
Worry 'bout it, worry 'bout it
I just keep breaking down
Breaking down, breaking down

Boy, I could do without
Do without, do without
A night of the bad dreams, sad things
Tell me what that means

I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feel
The monsters aren't real
You're making me feel
I'm not alone

Breathe Again Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

Car is parked, bags are packed, but what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch, the one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

Bluebird Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

Word came through in a letter,
One of us changing our minds.
You won't need to guess who
Since I usually do not send letters to me
That are mine

I told you I saw this coming,
That I'd practically packed up my things.
I was glad at the time that I said I was fine
But all honesty knows, I wasn't ready, no

And so here we go bluebird,
Back to the sky on your own.
Oh, let him go bluebird,
Ready to fly,
You and I,
Here we go.
Here we go.

This pair of wings worn and rusted,
Like a carnival ride in the rain.
They can carry me swear to be,
Sturdy and strong but see,
Turning them on still causes me pain.

Leave my love in a letter,
Went to the best on your side.
Fine gathered my things,
I'll make the best of these wings,
And me and my bird take to the sky.

And so here we go bluebird,
Gather your strength and rise up.
Oh, let him go bluebird
Oh, let him go bluebird
Oh, let him go bluebird
Ready to fly,
You and I,
Here we go.
Here we go...

Carolina Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

California in the evening
Rush past the water
Get me over the great state line
The skies electrical it's screaming
Trying to find the morning
Hell I'd settle for the other side
Don't bother counting up the days boy
Numbers gettin' bigger by the minute and I'm so tired
But I can honestly say boy
Oh unless you're in it I don't want it so here it comes
Fire
Over the horizon keeping my eyes on
Wire

All the way in Carolina
I won't go home until I find ya
Ya fill my bones my mind up so
I'm coming to Carolina
Don't ya know I'm right behind ya
No love of mine
Is gonna wind
Up leaving me for Carolina

Don't feel the summer like I used to
Oh you brought thunder, tugged me under, its all your fault
Want me to let you leave do you?
Well I never minded aftermath
And this is what happens to a
Liar
Miles on the highway
Nothing to stop me
Until I'm done

Coming for you Carolina
Won't go home till I find ya
Ya fill my bones my mind up so
I'm coming to Carolina
Don't you know I'm right behind ya
No love of mine
Is gonna wind
Up leaving me for Carolina

I don't mind the rain it suits me
Makes the pain pursuit seem
Less unruly
It's been a good night
And one hell of a drive

Coming for you Carolina
Won't go home till I find ya
Ya fill my bones my mind up so
I'm coming to Carolina
Don't you know I'm right behind ya
No love of mine
Is gonna wind
Up leaving me for Carolina
Leaving me for Carolina
Leaving me for Carolina

Send Me The Moon Lyrics – Sara Bareilles

Holding my breath
Last one I’ve got left
'til I see you

Deliver my heart with the
Pieces and parts of me left
Every last day seemed to carry the weight
A life time
Watch from the ground
As the gold fluttered down from the sky

Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
Until you come in and out
Of view
Of view

Inches away from you
Scared what I’ll take from you, darling
I can live with your ghost
If you say that’s the most I’ll get

Darkness to light
Moved from day into nigh to be near you
Still here I stand
I am sinking like sand in your sea

Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
Until you come in and out
Of view
Of view

You already do
Never you mind where the evening should find us
Together
Distance can’t take what is hidden here
Safe in my chest

I’ll wait for the day when
We finally say now or never
Till then I’ll be here wanting more
As I settle for at most fear

Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
Until you come in and out
Of view
Of view

"Little Voice" (2007)

Love Song Lyrics - Bareilles

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands

I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today

Vegas Lyrics - Bareilles

Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
'Cause somebody told me
That's where dreams would be
Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
Finally see my name upon the Palace marquis

Gonna quit my job and move to New York
'Cause somebody told me that's where
Dreamers should go
Gonna quit my job and move to New York
And tattoo my body with every Broadway show.

Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame no money I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down
On my knees.
But next stop, Vegas please.
Gotta get to Vegas
Can you take me to Vegas?

Gonna sell my house and cross the border
'Cause somebody told me dreams live in Mexico
Gonna sell my house I got to lose ten pounds
And cross the border
And make sweet love upon the white sandy shore.

Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame no money I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down
On my knees.
But next stop, Vegas please.

It's always just around the corner or you're
On your way to somewhere
That is bigger or better...
If you could only get there
It's never your fault you can't start your
Own winning streak
But I'd hate to lose you to the fortune you seek

I'm gonna lose my mind and sail the ocean.
'Cause somebody told me there were
Cherry blue skies
I'm gonna fix my mind with a final destination
And have a deep sleep upon a sweet dream
I'll never realize...no

Listen up now honey, you're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame no money I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down
On my knees.
Next stop, Vegas please.
Can you take me to Vegas?

Bottle It Up Lyrics - Bareilles

There'll be girls across the nation
That will eat this up babe
I know that it's your soul but could you bottle it up and
Get down to the heart of it,
No it's my heart you're shit out of your luck
Don't make me tell you again my love love love love.
Love love love love.

I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts
With her delicate soul
I don't claim to know much except soon as you start
To make room for the parts
That aren't you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of
Love love love love
Love Love love love

Only thing I ever could need, only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's

Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for Love
Love
Love
Love

We can understand the sentiment you're saying to us
Oh,
But sensible sells so could you kindly shut up
And get started
At keeping your part of the bargain aw please
Little darlin'
You're killing me sweetly with love love love love
Love love love love

Only thing I ever could need only one good thing
Worth trying to be

Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for Love
Love
Love
Love

Started as a flicker meant to be a flame
Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same
Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall
Baby's getting next to nowhere with her back
Against the wall.
You meant to make me happy make me sad.
Want to make it better better so bad.
But save your resolutions for your never new year
There is only one solution I can see here.

Love you're all I ever could need only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it's
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for love, love, love, love
Oh, only gonna get get what you give away,
So give love, love
Only gonna get get what you give away
Love.

One Sweet Love Lyrics - Bareilles

Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of
My own devices....
Could I be wrong?

[CHORUS]
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?

Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care.
No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do I'll open up
The moon for you
Just come down soon

[CHORUS]
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.

Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
The southern rain
As I do, I don't look don't touch don't do anything
But hope that there is a you.

The earth that is the space between,
I'd banish it from under me...to get to you.
Your unexpected love provides my solitary's
Suicide...oh I wish I knew

[CHORUS]
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.

Come Round Soon Lyrics - Bareilles

I could use another cigarette
But don't worry daddy, I'm not addicted yet
One too many drinks tonight and I miss you
Like you were mine

All your stormy words have barely broken
And you sound like thunder though
You've barely spoken
Oh, it looks like rain tonight and thank God
'Cause a clear sky just wouldn't feel right.

[CHORUS]
He's taken and leaving
But I keep believing
That he's gonna come round soon
(He'll come round soon I know)
You may be my final match
'Cause I chase everything when you play
Throw and I play catch
It never took much to keep me satisfied
But all the bullshit you feed me you miss me
You need me
This hungry heart will not subside

[CHORUS]
He's taken and leaving
But I keep believing
That he's gonna come round soon
Until I see him again
I'm staying believing
That it won't be deceiving
When he's gonna come round

Well I may seem naive if I cry as you leave
Like I'm just one more tortured heart
These cracks that I show as I'm watching
You go aren't tearing me apart
I may seem naive if I cry as you leave
Like I'm just one more tortured heart
These cracks that I show as I'm watching
You go aren't tearing me apart

The angels said I'd smile today
Well who needs angels anyway?

[CHORUS]

Morningside Lyrics - Bareilles

I'm not scared of you now
Or so i say
There's no reason to run
Although i may
I'm not as sure as i seem
This much i know
What does it mean you leave and i follow

I could try to forget what you do when i let you get
Through to me but then you do it over again
I could rage like a fire and you'd bring rain i desire
Til you get to me on my morningside

Keep my distance i tried
No use
But no matter the miles
I'm back to you

I could try to forget what you do when i let you get
Through to me but then you do it over again
I could rage like a fire and you'd bring rain i desire
Til you get to me on my morningside

Let me down you say never baby blues don't you ever
I'm used to being one with the misfortune to find
Afternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder
What it looks like here on my morningside

Look back don't you dare let me start to do that
I don't care if the things that i have
Only make me afraid to lose i
Need to let go
Need to want to keep letting you know
That we both have a reason to follow
Long as we let this lead i'm barely breathing

I try to forget what you do to me but then you do it over again
I could rage like a fire and you'd bring rain
Til you get to me on my morningside

Let me down you say never baby blues don't you ever
I'm used to being one with the misfortune to find
Afternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder
What it looks like here on my morningside

Between The Lines Lyrics - Bareilles

Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth for what you say
No pieces of paper in the way
Cause i cant continue pretending to choose
These opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong be this many times

My memory is cruel
Im queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn i'd heard him say it ten thousand times
If only i had been listening

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines

I thought i thought i was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So i've learned to listen through silence

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me be
You and me always be

I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
Wait for me i'm almost ready
When he meant let go

Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines

Love On The Rocks Lyrics - Bareilles

We met on a rainy evening in the summertime
Don't think I need to tell you more
I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine
Still I got nothing to show for it.

Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.

Here's a simplification of everything we're going though
You plus me is bad news
But you're a lovely creation and I like to think that I am too
But my friend said I look better without you.

Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.

Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
Okay we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.

You love the chase but hate me for the runaround
We both just tired of the whole thing.
You tell me what you want you need you know you have to have
And I just pretend I'm listening

Too tired this time to deal with old suits you wear with your ties that won't bind.

Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
Okay we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.

Hot as hell cold as ice sip it slow cause it's so nice
Dulls my senses drives my pain but I do it again
Burns a bit to the touch dangerous if it's too much
If this bottle could talk
Love on the rocks

Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain't gonna be easy
Okay we'll do it your way
But this is the last time
You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.

City Lyrics - Bareilles

There's a harvest each saturday night
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night and get gone
It's clear this conversation ain't' doing a thing
Cause these boys only listen to me when i sing
And i don't feel like singing tonight
All the same songs

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
Nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold you?

The situation's always the same
You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood's name
Stealing gold from the silver they see
But it's not me

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold you?

Calling out somebody save me i feel like i'm fading away
Am i gone?
Calling out somebody save me i feel like i'm fading

In these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold on to you?

Many The Miles Lyrics - Bareilles

There's too many things that I haven't done yet
Too many sunsets
I haven't seen
You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
You would've thought by now
I'd have learned something

I made up my mind when I was a young girl
I've been given this one world
I won't worry it away
But now and again I lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light
But then Love comes in

How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and I'll be happy to follow you Love

I do what I can wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love
And spreading it around
Cause I've had my fair share of take care and goodbyes
I've learned how to cry
And I'm better for that

Sing how far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Send me the miles and I'll be happy to
Follow you Love

Red letter day and I'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I've been talking to God don't know
If it's helping or not
But surely something has got to got to got to give
Cause I can't keep waiting to live

How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and I'll be happy to yeah
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
Been talking to God don't know if it's helping or not
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
Oh send me the miles and I'll be happy to
Follow you Love

There's too many things I haven't done yet
Too many sunsets I haven't seen

Fairytale Lyrics - Bareilles

Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
She's got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood
For shame she says
None for you dear prince, I'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming

[Chorus:]
'cause I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing

Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows

[Chorus]

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love

[Chorus]

I don't care
I don't care
Worry bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb
Appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause I don't want the next best thing
No no I don't want the next best thing

Gravity Lyrics - Bareilles

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

[CHORUS:]
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
You're on to me, on to me, and all over...
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.

Gravity Lyrics - Bareilles

Undertow Lyrics - Bareilles

Silly me, look what I did again
I found what I want
Is what I cannot have
I didn't mean to be so predictable
But I blame it all on who made you irresistible

And it isn't something I need
'til you tell me I can't
Why wear my heart on my sleeve
When it looks so good in your hand

My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go

Little girl, I don't know why you stay
If I had a feather for every time daddy said that I could fly away
Old habits are so hard to break
It'd be a shame to stop now that I've started to make really good mistakes

And I don't know why I must ask
For the forbidden fruit
I saw the snake in the grass
But I had bitten too soon

My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go

I should have seen you coming in
Should recognize the signs a wave's gonna break
Now, I've given in, why fight it when
I'm resigned to simply live in your wake
Your wake

Heart breaks in a heart beat
And you storm me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go
No no no no
I couldn't find a better man to let me go

Love On The Rocks Lyrics - Bareilles

Responsible Lyrics - Bareilles

Bound for the blessing
You wouldn't see it coming
I keep you guessing
Watch while you come undone

You were an island
No one would dare to tread upon
I came in like the wise men
Ask you to take my gift of love

Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me accountable
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can

Careful confessions
Can't scare you with my crime
I learned my lesson
Love you a little at a time

Losing my patience
Getting acquainted with the edge
Ready and waiting
Happy to stand convicted

Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me accountable
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can

I can't change you
When you won't change yourself
See you slowly becoming someone else
I can't blame you for the strength you lack
Scared to give me what you may not get back

Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me accountable
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Anyway you can

Inside Out Lyrics - Bareilles

I've been winding
Down the same road for days
I've seen the coastline
Going both ways
Some days are perfect
And some simply could not get worse
Some days it's all worth it
And some days this life is nothing but a curse

And I wonder who will break first

I am small
I feel like no more than nothing at all
But when I lose sight of daylight
And my darkness falls
I'll be strong
And if not now it won't be long
From when I lose sight of daylight
And my hands are weak
And my soul is tired
Oh, I'll give my love from the inside out
From the inside out

Little spirit
Now don't you desert me now
I know I don't always hear it
You don't always speak so loud
And I'm not willing
To simply lay down my soul for this
It may be all that I'm giving
But take my love for what it is

I am small
I feel like no more than nothing at all
But when I lose sight of daylight
And my darkness falls
I'll be strong
And if not now it won't be long
From when I lose sight of daylight
And my hands are weak and my soul is tired
Oh, I'll give my love from the inside out

Take your best shot
Here I stand, heart in hand
And fearless I'm not
But I am what I am
And I know what I'm not
And I know enough to know it's never
Gonna be much more than weather
You can't drive me away
When it's only rain
On the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
It's only rain
From the inside
From the inside out
I am small
From the inside out
I am small

City Lyrics - Bareilles

Red Lyrics - Bareilles

I've been down, I've been out
I did it all on my own
Seems growing up
Didn't take long
I feel strange, I feel good
I feel better with you
You've changed, you should
Cause I think I did too

Made my mistakes
I did a few things right
But it will take what it will take
Baby, that's life
You cannot change what you do not own
Everybody knows
But if you live deep and love strong
You get pretty damn close

It moves fast and it scares me
I close my eyes, oh but I still see

I'm fading in and out
What are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
And I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red

I shake and I smile
Cause you said
Baby girl, it may take a while, but take the good from the bad
And never minds are never sure, so never leave them wanting more
What are you waiting for
How you love is who you are

I dive in and I sink in
And I find new colors to think in

I'm fading in and out
What are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
And I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red

In the distance is a line defining where I've been
Rhe state I'm in
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I've been
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars
Everything they said
Painted in red
Painted in red
Painted in red

I am fading in and out
What are you gonna do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see what you said

What are you gonna do
No way for you to save me
What are you gonna do
Everything that you gave me
Is painted in red

My Love lyrics - sara bareilles

He bends his breath around my name
And I am humbled
I feel small and plain
But his arms are angels by his side
You need not ask if they're open, just how wide

His lips are day
And his skin is night
Oooh, and with our love we conjure up the twilight
His fingers are music to my soul
And I feel his song play everywhere I go

My love, my love is on his way
I can't wait to see the day
I thankfully lay me down
Oh, my love, my love is on his way
I'm waiting patiently
But if you see me now
My love, please hurry

He loves with rhythm
And paints with flame
He comes in pieces with no name
I won't need answers, I'll just know
Cause I've read the sonnets about his soul

He can be ordinary in the best ways
And still dance like a poet
Through every word he says

My love, my love is on his way
I can't wait to see the day I thankfully
Lay me down
My love, my love is on his way
I'm waiting patiently
But if you see me now
My love, please hurry

All that I never knew
Can you see me now
All that I never said
Can you see me now

He makes me crazy
He makes me cruel
Oh, but I pray he makes me anything
But a fool

Oooh, my love
Please hurry
