Soulful Song Lyrics
Saw you on the street, like, "damn, who is he?"
Then I noticed you were lookin' at me
Eyes so blue, they shined like the sea
I smiled as you were approaching
You said, "how you doin?" I said, "the best I've been"
You laughed and brushed your hair back with your hand
But on the real, it's been hard to deal
Not knowing how to pay the rent or all the other bills
You said you feel it too and you're worried for the future
I said don't let it get to you, it will only pull you deeper
Home, you feel like home
Home, you feel like home
So we talked over empty pavement, past empty shops
You poured your heart out to me for three whole blocks
You said you've been alone for way to long
And social distancing has really got you down
I told you "Keep your chin up; listen to the voice within"
You laughed and said it's probably time to search your soul again
But what are you looking for and how will you know
You said what you want is someone who feels like
Home, you feel like home
Home, you feel like home
Home is where the heart is found
Don't know where mine is now
Maybe you can help me find the way
We'll make it through somehow
Don't have a single doubt
Now Darlin' tell me that you'll stay
Home, you feel like home
Home, you feel like home
Home, you feel like home
Home, home, take me home
You feel like home
I wasn't looking for love; I wasn't looking for trouble
Then I saw him sittin' over there
And the lights up above shone down like a halo
Electricity filled the air
Oooh oooh, His smile was so contagious
I'd catch it anytime, anywhere
Oooh oooh, He looked just like an angel
Temptation more than I could bare
Mmm mmm mm
Well the moment felt right so I sat down beside him
Imagination runnin' wild
I thought, "There's no use in hiding; no way to deny it"
All the stars must be aligned
Oooh oooh, His smile was so contagious
I'd catch it anytime, anywhere
Oooh oooh, He looked just like an angel
Temptation more than I could bare
Mmm mmm mm
They say you'll find it when it's least expected
Well it took me by surprise
Something was missing and I didn't realize it
Until I found it in his eyes
Oooh oooh, His smile was so contagious
I'd catch it anytime, anywhere
Oooh oooh, He looked just like an angel
Temptation more than I could bare
Mmm mmm mm
Isn't life so crazy
Caught up in a daydream
Feeling so intense
And I don't even know his name yet
Three-hundred sixty-five - I revolve around you
Propulsion overdrive - Crash course in: five, four, three, two…
Caffeine and rocket fuel - I’m so buzzed on you
Take me higher - I wanna see the stars in your eyes
Every time you walk into the room - You light me up bright as the moon
Trapped in your gravity - You don’t know what you mean to me
Oh no, you haven’t got a clue - You light me up bright as the moon
Twenty-four seven - You spin me round
I send my wishes to the heavens - I hope they’ll send some back down
Telescopes and parachutes - So goes my love for you
Too far away to touch - Drifting in slow motion
Every time you walk into the room - You light me up bright as the moon
Trapped in your gravity - You don’t know what you mean to me
Oh no, you haven’t got a clue - You light me up bright as the moon
Two bodies in the galaxy - Come on baby now collide with me
Don’t need a bachelor’s in astronomy - To know that some things are meant to be
Every time you walk into the room - You light me up bright as the moon
Trapped in your gravity - You don’t know what you mean to me
Oh no, you haven’t got a clue - You light me up bright as the moon
You light me up bright as the moon
Dark skies, bright eyed
Pick you up in the park at midnight
Get in, go for a spin
Headed south out on 75
Fast lane, wide awake
Keep on driving til we see the sunlight
Full speed, carefree
Let it go, leave it all behind
There’s no turning back
We’re trying to outrun time
And nothing lasts forever
So we better, we better, we better
Make the most out of every mile
I’ll be your getaway driver
Hell on 4 oversized tires
Call me up if you need a quick escape
I’ll be your getaway driver
Hell on 4 oversized tires
Call me up if you need a getaway
A getaway driver
Sunshine, half blind
What are you doing now that no-one’s around?
Cheap thrills, blue pills
Might do you good to get out of this town
White lies, denial
I think you’re headed for a nervous breakdown
Stand still, shoot to kill
I know the silence is your favorite sound
There’s no turning back
We’re trying to outrun time
And nothing lasts forever
So we better, we better, we better
Make the most out of every mile
I’ll be your getaway driver
Hell on 4 oversized tires
Call me up if you need a quick escape
I’ll be your getaway driver
Hell on 4 oversized tires
Call me up if you need a getaway
Cops on our tail, no looking back
I’ll post your bail, if it comes to that
Let the dotted lines keep coming
Here we go, we’re on the run
I’ll be your getaway driver
Hell on 4 oversized tires
Call me up if you need a quick escape
I’ll be your getaway driver
Hell on 4 oversized tires
Call me up if you need a getaway
A getaway driver
A getaway driver
He says I fill him up unlike anybody else ever has
I think I'm smart enough not to fall for any of that crap
It is what it is and it ain't that bad
We're just victims of circumstance
And I know he's got another man but
I still act like we stand a chance
Why won't this boy just let me be?
Oh no, here I go again
Is this the devil chasing after me?
Oh Lord, save my soul again
I go about my day and everything's feeling fine
And then he's calling me and I start to lose my mind
Will I say 'No' this time... Enough with the self-harm?
Or will I slip and slide right back into his arms?
Why won't this boy just let me be?
Oh no, here I go again
Is this the devil chasing after me?
Oh Lord, save my soul again
And lead me not into temptation
I've got such low self-control
And lead me far from his damnation
Around and around I go
Around and around I go
Around and around I go, oh no
He said I fill him up unlike anybody else ever has
I think I'm smart enough not to fall for any of that crap
I waited all night for you
You couldn't even pick up my calls
I was flying so high for you
And you just let me fall
The darkness comes and it goes
I guess the happiness does too
You've got a magnetic pull
I wanna run and hide from you
Give it a little time
It might come back around
But then again some things are better left dead
6 feet under ground
You've got a way with words
You say everything you think I wanna hear
But my imagination hurts
Wish I could make you disappear
Easy come easy go
So tell me where have you been
You're off somewhere in a magical world
And I'm just stuck in my head
Give it a little time
It might come back around
But then again some things are better left dead
6 feet under ground
Give it a little time
It might come back around
But then again some things are better left dead
6 feet under ground
But it's all good
It's all good
I was dying to be your temporary entertainment
Yes it's all good
It's all good
I was overdue for a lesson in disappointment
Give it a little time
It might come back around
But then again some things are better left dead
6 feet under ground
6 feet under ground
6 feet under ground
Monday / Like any other / And I don’t want to get out of bed
But failure is not an option / So I guess I’ll push ahead
Sometimes I pretend I’m floating in a galaxy far, far away
Drifting in weightless motion / Lightyears from tomorrow and yesterday
I’ll keep it to myself / I’ll keep it to myself
I’ll keep it to myself / Oh whoa
Friday / This could be better / But it damn sure could be worse
Giving up is not an option / So I guess I’ll find a way to make it work
I’ll keep it to myself / I’ll keep it to myself
I’ll keep it to myself / Oh whoa
Voices that sound like mine are calling out to me
They keep on telling me things that I don’t wanna hear
And I refuse to believe
You’ll never hear me ask for help but I’m just as messed up as everybody else
I’ll keep it to myself / I’ll keep it to myself
I’ll keep it to myself / Oh whoa
I’ll keep it to myself / I’ll keep it to myself
I’ll keep it to myself / Oh whoa
I’ll keep it to myself / The world don’t need to know
I’ll keep it to myself and never let it show
I’ll keep it to myself / I’ll keep it to myself
I’ll keep it to myself / Won’t tell nobody else no
Not even a whisper
I’ll keep it to myself / I’ll keep it to myself
I’ll keep it to myself / Oh whoa
I’ll keep it to myself / I’ll keep it to myself
I’ll keep it to myself / Won’t tell nobody else no
Not even a whisper
Trying to find a better way to deal with the sadness
Instead of contributing to the infinite madness
Hard times will come again / This time I’ll be ready
I’m gonna be my own best friend / Stop depending on so many
I’ve been wasting away on two packs a day
Burning up my heartache and my pain
I’ve been wasting away on cheap chardonnay
Drowning all my sorrows just the same
Trying to find a better way to deal with the anger
Instead of deliberately running toward danger
Blue skies will come again / This time I’ll be patient
Gonna be my own best friend / Stop trying to be everyone’s savior
I’ve been wasting away on two packs a day
Burning up my heartache and my pain
I’ve been wasting away on cheap chardonnay
Drowning all my sorrows just the same
I’ve been wasting away day after day
I’ve been wasting away
I’ve been wasting away waiting for change
I’ve been wasting away
I’ve been wasting away
Out of the shadows, We shall rise
So wipe the sorrow and the sadness and those tears from your eyes
Change is coming I feel it in my bones
A new day, a new age, a new way to get along
Rise up, Take your place
Rise up, Let your voice be heard
Rise up, I know you've got a lot to say
Rise up and change the world
They're gonna tell you that you're not good enough
So they can sell you all kinds of useless stuff that you don't even need
But you are flawless just the way you are
And you're stronger, stronger, stronger than you'll ever know
Rise up, Take your place
Rise up, Let your voice be heard
Rise up, I know you've got a lot to say
Rise up and change the world
Out of the shadows into the light
Don't let them dim your flame, It's time to shine
Rise up, Rise up
Rise up and change the world
Rise up, Take your place
Rise up, Let your voice be heard
Rise up, I know you've got a lot to say
Rise up and change the world
Rise up, Take your place
Rise up, Let your voice be heard
Rise up, I know you've got a lot to say
Rise up and change the world
You are stronger than you know
You are stronger than you know
Come on, let's go
Remember when we were 16 sitting by the lake getting high as the clouds?
All the plans that we had, all the promises we made - We were dreaming out loud
Oh we were dreaming out loud - Oh getting high as the clouds
My oh my how the years fly by - It’s like we’re strangers now
But from time to time it floats across my mind and makes me laugh out loud
Oh it makes me laugh out loud - Oh getting high as the clouds
So would you like to take a trip with me down an old forgotten memory?
Take a stroll down a familiar road, back to how it used to be
So would you like to take a trip with me down an old forgotten memory?
Take a stroll down a familiar road, back to how it used to be
Remember when we were 18 living like the world was never gonna end?
We had it all figured out, knew what life was about, it was so simple back then
Oh, we had it all figured out - Oh getting high as the clouds
Ain't it strange how the seasons change? We’re both so different now
When I hear your name it sends me to a place - Wish you would come around
Oh I’m just thinking out loud - Oh getting high as the clouds
So would you like to take a trip with me down an old forgotten memory?
Take a stroll down a familiar road, back to how it used to be
So would you like to take a trip with me down an old forgotten memory?
Take a stroll down a familiar road, back to how it used to be
By the lake - Hanging out - In the streets - At your house
Getting high as the clouds
Behind the mall - In the park - Breaking curfew after dark
Getting high as the clouds
Hand in hand - Wild and bold - You and me against the world
Getting high as the clouds
Over worked and under paid
Bossman don’t appreciate me
Same old shit day after day
And I wonder how much more I can take
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Times are tough, they’re gettin’ harder
Is this the end or a brand new start?
I moved to the city ‘cuz I didn’t wanna be a farmer
Now my dreams are few between and far apart
Who can really say where the passion goes?
Turn your back and it’s out the window
Time slips by faster than you know
You can keep the glimmer and the glow
I’m going home
Thought by now I’d have it made
But this whole scene’s driving me crazy
Turned my back on yesterday
All the while, how I longed for that place
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Who can really say where the passion goes?
Turn your back and it’s out the window
Time slips by faster than you know
You can keep the glimmer and the glow
I’m going home
I can’t survive this 9 to 5
Don’t think I’ll make it out alive
Why did I come here in the first place?
All the hustle and the buzz
This city wont show me no love
I’m trying not to lose my faith
Who can really say where the passion goes?
Turn your back and it’s out the window
Time slips by faster than you know
You can keep the glimmer and the glow
You can keep the glimmer and the glow
I’m going home
Oh whoa oh oh oh
I’m going home
Hey, what did you say that for?
Are you trying to hurt my feelings?
I know it seems I'm made of stone but
Appearances can be deceiving
Hey, what did you go there for?
Are you starving for attention?
I know that you're just insecure but
I thought I'd better not mention
But you, you've got the weight of the world
Crushing on your shoulders
And you need to change your ways before you
Get any colder
Hey, what did you do that for?
What did I ever do to you, man?
I know my head's in outer space but I
I promise you I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
But you, you've got the weight of the world
Crushing on your shoulders
And you need to change your ways before you
Get any colder
Before you get any colder
But you, you've got the weight of the world
Crushing on your shoulders
And you need to change your ways before you
Get any colder
Before you get any colder
You know you keep on getting colder
Feels like the damn work week just don't seem to end
But don't you wanna raise a little hell every now and again
'Cause sometimes even an angel's gotta sin
So raise up your vodka, or your whiskey or your gin
And if you ever felt this way let me hear you say "Amen"
It's 5 A.M
I'm flying high again
I've got my friends
Here's Johnnie, Jack and Jim
We're gettin' loud
Tomorrow we'll be strung out
It's ok for now
So tip your cups
And lay your problems down
Well who could really blame ya for just wantin' to cut loose
But someone's always gonna criticize no matter which way you choose
So don't judge nobody til you take a walk in their shoes
It's 5 A.M
I'm flying high again
I've got my friends
Here's Johnnie, Jack and Jim
We're gettin' loud
Tomorrow we'll be strung out
It's ok for now
So tip your cups
And lay your problems down
Lay your problems down
Well you know it's been one hell of a week
But there aint no use in cryin'
You just gotta do what you gotta do
To leave all your cares behind you
It's 5 A.M
I'm flying high again
I've got my friends
Here's Johnnie, Jack and Jim
We're gettin' loud
Tomorrow we'll be strung out
It's ok for now
So tip your cups
And lay your problems down
Lay your problems down
You light my fire
Oh you make my birdies sing
And I can't deny
I'd gladly wear your wedding ring
But you don't see me
Like I'm seein' you
All of your dreams
Just waiting to come true
I tried again
I went down swingin'
I can't forget
That song you were singin'
It plays over and over
It plays over and over
I hear it over and over
One last goodbye
Baby that's all I really need
You know you get me so high
Then you make me want to bleed
I cried again
Why am I so weak
I can not pretend
That you mean nothing to me
But you don't see me
Like I'm seein' you
I'd give up everything
If you'd only love me too
It plays over and over
It plays over and over
I hear it over and over
It plays over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
We've been down this road before
Up all night, epic fight
Now you're walking out the door
These days you say
That nothing feels quite right
Bouquet of cliches
It happens every time
So baby why don't we just walk away
Save ourselves the trouble and the pain
I won't tell if you don't tell
We'll kiss goodbye, I'll wish you well
Baby why don't we just walk away
Walk away
I feel half dead without you here
Blood thirsty love zombie
Staring at me in the mirror
Heartbeat's failing, shot of novocaine
Empty bedsheets, I dig myself a grave
So baby why don't we just walk away
Save ourselves the trouble and the pain
I won't tell if you don't tell
We'll kiss goodbye, I'll wish you well
Baby why don't we just walk away
Walk away
There comes a point in time
When all living things must die
Our love was once a rose
But now it's just a thorny vine
So baby why don't we just walk away
Save ourselves the trouble and the pain
I won't tell if you don't tell
We'll kiss goodbye, I'll wish you well
Baby why don't we just walk away
Walk away
Sweet relief you're back again
Guess they're right, you're my kryptonite
But it feels like home when I hold your hand
So baby why don't we just walk away
Forget about the trouble and the pain
Erase it all, we'll start from scratch
Head off into the sunset
Baby why don't we just walk away
It's like reading a mystic language tryin' to figure you out
And I'm smothered by the emptiness
And the words that I cannot force out
So tell me now is this the end or do we try again?
You burn me with your silver flame and blame my melting skin
Oh you tear me apart
Oh you tear me apart
You're like drowning in a puddle that's only a few inches deep
And my hands are frantically searching out, but yours are out of reach
So all this time we've been holdin' on you should have let me go
You promised me that you'd never give up, but here I am alone
Oh you tear me apart
Oh you tear me apart
Sometimes love grows in a sacred place
Sometimes it's doomed from the start
Oh you tear me apart
Oh you tear me apart
Oh you tear me apart
Oh you tear me apart
You should've let me go
You should've let me
You should've let me
You should have let me go
You should've let me go
And it came without warning
It took me by surprise
I saw the whole city burning
I watched the fire in your eyes
We cried for salvation
And we prayed for peace
We held the world in the palms of our hands
Until it crumbled at our feet
The pain of not knowing
It twists just like a knife
And the sins of our fathers
Haunt us in the night
So we strive for redemption
And we work toward relief
We held the world in the palms of our hands
Until it brought us to our knees
And I never knew that life could break a soul like that
And I never knew that love could make a heart turn black
Ashes to ashes and we all fall down
Not even God can save us now
Ashes to ashes and we all fall down
Not even God can save us now
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes and we all fall down
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes and we all fall down
I dream of death
I dream of life
I dream of rebellion almost every other night
I am afraid of the dark
Afraid to step into the light
I'm afraid of myself from time to time
When I was young
I dreamed of flight
I dreamed of golden wings to leave this place behind
Now I'm afraid of growing old
Afraid to look in the mirror and see a face I do not know
Afraid we all must die alone
I dreamed of you
Before we met
And my life has blossomed and bloomed and flourished ever since
I am afraid no more
I am afraid no more
My dreams and fears
Have brought me here
My dreams and fears
Have brought me here
My dreams and fears
Have brought me here
My dreams and fears will take me away
If you want my heart, you can have it
But be careful cuz it's kinda fragile
If you want my love and my kisses too
That's alright because they all belong to you
Oooh I promise you
Oooh I do
But I've been hurt before
I've been kicked around
I've played the fool so many times that I lost count
I've been in the dark
I've been down and out
I learned the hard way how to take care of myself
Oooh
Oooh
If you want my trust, gonna have to earn it
Things that come easily are hardly ever worth it
If you want respect, better give it first
I've given both away and all I got was burned
Oooh I promise you
Oooh I do
But I've been hurt before
I've been kicked around
I've played the fool so many times that I lost count
I've been in the dark
I've been down and out
I learned the hard way how to take care of myself
Oooh
Oooh
I've been selfish, been helpless, distracted and naive
Been possessive, been reckless, destructive and carefree
I've been impulsive, rebellious, cynical and vein
If you can handle my dark side I will try and do the same
Oooh I promise you
Oooh I do
Oooh I promise you
Oooh I do
If you want my heart, you can have it
But be careful cuz it's kinda fragile
One November long ago
You left me standing in the cold
Nothing more than my tears to hold
And a flower for your grave
I carried you out of the church
Into the back of that black hearse
And as we lowered you into the dirt
I thought I heard you say
Hold your head up high my darling
And don't you ever compromise yourself
This is not goodbye my child
I love you more than life itself
So carry on
And be strong
Eleven years just flew right by
Gone with the wind and so was I
Not much that I didn't try
To fill the hole inside my heart
I rarely ever spoke your name
Wanted to forget the pain
Eradicate the memory
Of me falling apart
You said
Hold your head up high my darling
I think about you every day
Oh no, no
This is not goodbye my child
I love you more than words can say
So carry on
And be strong
Hold your head up high my darling
And don't you worry about tomorrow
This is not goodbye my child
When you are sad I'll steal your sorrow
So carry on
And be strong
Looking out across the starry sky
Close my eyes, say a prayer for you
And I don't know where it goes when it leaves my mouth
But I believe it will make it's way through
In every dream, each song I sing
You live inside of me
The memories are bittersweet, they sting
Even now I can feel your warmth
I feel the emptiness too
And I don't know where we go when we leave this place
But someday I'll find my way back to you
In every dream, each song I sing
You live inside of me
The memories are bittersweet, they sting
But I'll cherish every moment
Every smile and every tear
And I'll find peace in knowing
Part of you is here
In every dream, each song I sing
Every day, each breath I breathe
Your memory will live in me
I'll love you through eternity
Part of you will live inside of me
