I walked into the boutique
He was standing there
I could swear I had seen his face in there before
It was this time last week
I realized it just as soon as I stepped in the door
I pretended to be interested in some shoes
'Cause if not I thought he'd start to wonder
As I left him I did something that I never do
I asked him on a whim for his number
Gave him a call the first day after
One of those awkward phone conversations full of pauses
and lots of laughter
Got stoked on his music
Inspiration
Planned to meet that week at Robson square
Showed up late
Oops
10 past 9
Lucky for me he still was there
He planned his joint to pass the time
I started to feel this beat
This beat
This brilliant beat
Pounding in my head
My chest
My knees
My feet
Should've seen it coming right from the start
Beatboxer who broke my heart
So we continued walking down Robson street
And as we keep talking I keep feeling the beat
All of a suddenly boom
We overflow with conversation
Was beginning to really enjoy the situation
As I watched his lips move with such precision and
agility
There was no room to improve upon this boy's beatboxing
ability
Into a couple weeks of chilling in a similar way
This certain boy started filling all my thoughts
through the day
I was overwhelmed by this boy
Amazed and enchanted
I was his toy and boy did he ever take me for granted
I started to feel this beat
This beat
This brilliant beat
Pounding in my head
My chest
My knees
My feet
Should've seen it coming right from the start
Beatboxer who broke my heart
(Hit 'em with a little more funk)
So as the week goes he starts acting weird
And my heart doesn't wanna doubt him
In my head it was a feeling I had always feared
He said there's something I should know about him
I said I don't care what you've done in the past
You know we've all got our dirty secrets
I said this is something I really want to last
But when he looked at me my world turned beatless
He said listen miss
I'm really feeling your kiss
But still a million would give their opinion of this
But let's be honest
You were just another chick on my list
And if my misses heard about this she would be pissed
I couldn't even think of what to say
A million broken beats drove right through me
I took a breath another one and simply walked away
Not believing that a boy could do this to me
I walked home soaked in regret
The rain turned to hail
Then snow
Then sleet
I turned my face trying to forget what was left of
The beat
The beat
The brilliant beat
Pounding in my head
My chest
My knees
My feet
Should've seen it coming right from the start
Beatboxer who broke my heart
The beat
The beat
The brilliant beat
Pounding in my head
My chest
My knees
My feet
Should've seen it coming right from the start
Beatboxer who broke my
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
The beat
I should've seen it coming right from the start

Bright eyes reflect the morning sun
She wakes so lost for love
So scared she’ll never find someone
So scared she’ll never be in love
One piece of paper, fifteen words
She writes in perfect hand
You give ‘em till you’ve given up
And you are sure to find the perfect man
Ba-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da
That smile, sketched and painted
All the hurt so wared and faded
Search for love, she sat and waited
Tried her hardest to forsake me
Is she an angel or a fly pod to close to a plane?
Even where your wings were burnt
Unless she learns to turn and fly away
Oh no, we’re here again
Oh no, we’re here again
Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh
Ba-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da Ba-da-da-da
One piece of paper can be heavier then any weight
With words that hold their heavy heart
A map that seems to keeps her in both place
That’s how she walks the world
And how the world walks over her
She gives until she’s given up
She gives up all the love that she deserves
Ooh-Ooh no, we’re here again
So close, so near the end
We don’t and we pretend
But we know

I’ll take the alleyway today
No need for streets they just compete with other people
Walking side by side on sidewalks
With their clocks all ticking simultaneously
That’s where ill be
Stick to the alleyway with me
There is a way
Another way to go and I’ll take it
A secret way
Some people know about but no one ever sees
You will find it if your heart is open
And I’m hoping it will lead you straight to me
Fast or slow
Take the shortcuts and side roads
Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines
Will get there our way
I’ll take the train tracks today
The ones that run behind the houses down on Pine Street
Traveling side by side like lovers
Never crossing one another
So to speak
And ill walk these tracks forever even
If the weather doesn't change in weeks
And though we more than deserved it long ago
It doesn't hurt to notice time's free
(Fast or slow
Take the shortcuts inside roads
Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines

Write a song about California,
He said
Write a song about California,
He said to me before i left
But i, think i'll write a song about him instead.
Now, I'm sitting up on Hollywood Hill
Can't think of a single thing to sing about this place,
maybe i never will
Oo, I'm thinkin' bout you still.
Walking down Sunset Boulevard
Never thought writing a song about some place could be
this hard
With you I don't know where to start.
[Chorus:]
Here's to the boy
Who keeps me up all night,
Who sings exactly right,
And never lets me know
Here's to the one
The one with the bright eyes,
Who makes me realize,
I got a long long way to go to California.
Now I am standing on this peer
With all the sights and sounds of Santa Monica still
ringing in my ears.
Oh I'm wishing you were here.
Write a song about California he said.
Think of something everybody's got to do before their
dead,
But i wrote this song about you instead.
[Chorus:]
Here's to the boy
Who keeps me up all night,
Who sings exactly right,
And never lets me know
No, no
Here's to the one
The one with the bright eyes,
Who makes me realize,
I got a long long way to go to California.
Sunsets a back down Venus Beach.
Famous names that wrap my feet.
Lets do lunch, lets do Palate's
Wasting minds for perfect bodies
[Chorus:]
Here's to the boy
Who keeps me up all night,
Who sings exactly right,
And never lets me know
No, no
Here's to the one
The one with the bright eyes,
Who makes me realize,
I got a long long way to go to California.

I'm looking out the window of this big, big ship
And it's really coming down outside
There's something in her eyes, it's like the morning mist
As it lifts to show the world's still alive
Somebody once told me,
"You're gonna know right away
Once you find that secret somebody
To hold for the rest of your days"
She wears a ring already
She's steady in love with another man
And he thinks she's really ready
So why's she keep touching my hand
I'm so terrified and tongue tied
The morning after, will she regret the sweet words she said
It could have been the wine, or just the high of laughter
We shared on the upper decks
The wind blew so coldly
We were swayed in the waves
She looked over, said, hold me
But please don't make no mistake
She said,
I wear a ring already
I'm steady in love with another man
I think I'm really ready
But I can't stop touching your hand
Hand, your hand, your hand, your hand
She wears a ring
She's steady in love
And she thinks she's really ready
But I can't stop touching her hand

I've lost my head, I've lost my way
Trying to find, what I can't replay
Three little words I heard you say
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
Thought you said it was true love
Now you won't repeat it
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
Now that you've left, I feel the same
My empty bed calls out your name
How could you forget, how could you change
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
Thought you said it was true love
Now you won't repeat it
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
I've searched all night and all the day
To see if I can recreate
The love we had, oh what a waste!
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
Thought you said it was true love
Now you won't repeat it
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
(I've lost my head, I've lost my way)
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
Thought you said it was true love
Now you won't repeat it
(I've lost my head, I've lost my way)
I'm not looking for new love

You drew a map so we'd remember
All the places that we went to
And although we never meant to we lost it on our way
You drew a map so we'd remember
How to get back to the highway
But instead we followed moonlight and were completely lead astray
We have traveled this way, all of our days
And we will keep on following the dotted lines
'Til we find a better place
We took a trail down to the beach where
We heard the music play before
The fires they went on forever
Like flaming jewels upon the shore
We sat there soaking up the starlight
And sang along to every song
Though we didn't know the words
We made them up as we went along
And we have traveled this way, all of our days
And we will keep on following the dotted lines
'Til we find a better place
[x2]
You drew a map so we'd remember
All the places that we went to
And although we never meant to we lost it on our way
And we have traveled this way, all of our days
And we will keep on following the dotted lines
'Til we find a better place
We have traveled this way, all of our days
And we will keep on following the dotted lines
We have traveled this way, all of our days
We will travel this way, all of our days
We have traveled this way, all of our days
We will travel this way, all of our days

I'm singing songs about the ocean
And every night's a lullaby
To the coastal breeze and the salty seas
I've never felt so far from home
And as we cast on through these mountains
I keep my back to western skies
Where the sun it seems to always sleep
Where I wish I was going
She's the sea, she's the hardest thing to leave
I wish that she would notice, but the sea will never notice
Jolene, Jolene, that's what she sang to me
But it ain't nothing but her favorite country song
So this old van becomes a vessel
A beast of burden and a home
But those eastern shores are never yours
Where I wish I was going
Going, going
She's the sea, she's the hardest thing to leave
I wish that she would notice, but the sea will never notice
Jolene, Jolene, that's what she sang to me
But it ain't nothing but her favorite country song
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

If the sun is to set
To leave us dark with regret
I will work up the strength
To pull our earth back round again
And if the ocean should freeze
Before we've sailed all the seas
I will drop to my knees
Until Poseidon agrees
We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
Where we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep at night
[x2]
If you get scared of the space
Between now and those days
Then I will take you away
Somewhere fear has no place
We'd make ashes of our clothes
And grow a garden out of those
And watch the water as it rose
To bring the ocean to our toes
We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
Where we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep at night
[x2]
It's true
Distance just makes my heart grow for you
And everything I want for us to do
To build an island between me and you
Build an island between me and you
We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
And we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep
We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
Where we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep at night
[x2]
We could build an island
We could ride the tides
Oh, we could build an island

Oh pedaling is hard, move fast as I can go,
The basket of my bicycle is hangin' low,
It's filled with things that I am bringing to your house.
You said some strange things on the phone,
I wanna know what they're about.
When I get there you are done.
Your things in boxes on your lawn
And all the books you ever read, are stacked upon your steps
Instead of in your room and all your shoes
Are strung out on your neighbor's fence.
Among all this I find a note addressed to me, it says:
"I'm leaving this place; not by choice it's my fate.
I don't wanna hurt you, not tryin' to desert you
Some people just weren't cut out for this race."
Get back on my bicycle, I'm moving slow
Never thought I'd realize the type of things I've come to know
Some people just weren't cut out for this type of life
To end up like their fathers with a house, a dog, two kids, a wife.
The pressures of society are bound to get to you.
I guess I'll have to let him go.
Oh I guess I'll cut him loose.

My baby's got some trouble
He know he's not himself
Oh, he's walking through the rubble
Of what he brought himself
Brought on himself, he says
I can't seem to do what you do (what you do)
You know it's hard for me
And I can't seem to change
So now my baby's tryin' to fix it
He'd do it all himself
But it's harder than he thinks it is
And he may need some help
Might need, might need some help, he says
I can't seem to do what you do (what you do)
You know it's hard for me
And I can't see, it's you what you do (what you do)
Oh and it's not what you say
I can't seem to do what you do (what you do)
You know it's hard for me
And I can't seem to change
My baby's got a lover
He know he loves instead
Oh you, you just don't know what you do to me babe
Oh you're losin' me babe
Every time you say
I can't seem to do what you do (what you do)
You know it's hard for me
Well I can't see, it's you what you do (what you do)
Oh and it's not what you say
I can't seem to do what you do (what you do)
You know it's hard for me
And I can't seem to change
Can't change, I can't change
I can't seem to change
I just can't change
And I can't seem to...
Baby baby baby
Time to settle the score
Cause if you're not gonna change
You better walk out the door
Baby baby baby
Time to settle the score
Cause if you're not gonna change
I don't need you no more

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me? I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go
Oh won't you, please?
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh
I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
Oh won't you, please?
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh
Come on and be
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh
Be my little baby
Say you'll be my darlin'
Be my baby now
Whoa oh oh oh

I feel like I don't deserve the love that I receive 'cause I'm a liar
Telling tales, disguise how stale the truth is but you use this gift, denial, and you do
Yeah you do
It's easier to be somebody else
When you hardly even know yourself
I feel like I don't live up to all that I believe and I'm a liar
Every time I try, this feeling builds and it's a guilt that I require and I do
Yeah I do
It's easier to be somebody else
When you hardly even know yourself
It's easier to be somebody else
When you hardly even know yourself
Oooh
Oooh
I feel like I don't deserve the love that I receive
I feel like I don't live up to all that I believe
Oooh ooh ooh

All we do is mess around,
but I know that it's love we found.
And I know that it's here to stay.
It's more than just a word we say.
No, I don't wanna fuss or fight.
And I'm not one to give advice.
But there's no need to be afraid.
Baby, there's no time to waste.
Sing until you have no voice. Ooh hoo wooh ooh (ooh hoo wooh ooh)
Sing because you have no choice. Ooh wooh ooh ooh (ooh wooh ooh ooh)
Sing until you float away. Ooh hoo wooh ooh (ooh hoo wooh ooh)
Our love is like a big blue wave.
Ooh hoo hoo (Ooh hoo hoo)
Ooh hoo hoo (Ooh hoo hoo)
It's like a big blue wave.
Ooh hoo hoo (Ooh hoo hoo)
Ooh hoo hoo (Ooh hoo hoo)
Don't tell me that we've come this far.
To start again or fall apart.
Sing it when you're lost at sea,
and love will bring you back to me.
Sing until you have no voice. Ooh hoo wooh ooh (ooh hoo wooh ooh)
Sing because you have no choice. Ooh wooh ooh ooh (ooh wooh ooh ooh)
Sing until you float away. Ooh hoo wooh ooh (ooh hoo wooh ooh)
Our love is like a big blue wave.
Sing until you have no voice. (have no voice)
Sing because you have no choice. (have no choice)
Sing until you float away. (float away)
Sing until your home again! (Home again)
Ooh hoo hoo (Ooh hoo hoo)
Ooh hoo hoo (Ooh hoo hoo)
Sing until you have no voice. Ooh hoo wooh ooh (Ooh hoo wooh ooh)
Sing because you have no choice. Ooh wooh ooh ooh (Ooh wooh ooh ooh)
Sing until you float away. Ooh hoo wooh ooh (Ooh hoo wooh ooh)
Our love is like a big blue wave.
Ooh hoo wooh ooh (Ooh hoo wooh ooh)
It's like a big blue wave.
Ooh hoo wooh ooh (Ooh hoo wooh ooh)
Ooh hoo wooh ooh (Ooh hoo wooh ooh)
Ooh hoo wooh ooh (Ooh hoo wooh ooh)
Ooh hoo wooh ooh (Ooh hoo wooh ooh)

I've lost my head, I've lost my way
Trying to find, what I can't replay
Three little words I heard you say
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
Thought you said it was true love
Now you won't repeat it
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
Now that you've left, I feel the same
My empty bed calls out your name
How could you forget, how could you change
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
Thought you said it was true love
Now you won't repeat it
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
I've searched all night and all the day
To see if I can recreate
The love we had, oh what a waste!
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
Thought you said it was true love
Now you won't repeat it
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
(I've lost my head, I've lost my way)
I'm not looking for new love
You were all I needed
Thought you said it was true love
Now you won't repeat it
(I've lost my head, I've lost my way)
I'm not looking for new love

If I were a ship,
I'd sail to your shore.
Just to see my true love
The one I adore.
I would part all these provinces
In my paper boat.
And I'd kiss you and kiss you and kiss you
'Til we both just float.
If I were a bird
I'd sing out your name.
Parched high up on my branch
And I'd hope that you came.
I would spread both my wings
And I'd take to the sky.
I would bear all the wind and the rain
Just to be by your side.
If I were a song
I'd be in just the right key.
I'd be all the best instruments
In sweet harmony.
Oh I'd play oh so loudly,
In hopes that you heard.
Because music is love
In search of the words.
Yes, music is love

Tracing the silver lines of the moon with our eyes
We both knew it was time
With your finger you traced every line
Every angle of my face
Never wanting to leave this place
Time took its toll and we lost any sort of control
We once had before closing the door
This was going to be our last mistake
A quick inhale
A fast intake
We tried to take it slow but
It wasn't an option in our state of mind
Anything that was left was left behind
We are the only ones who knew this kind of love
I promise you this
Skies above had nothing to do with it
We are the only ones who knew this kind of love
I promise you this
Skies above had nothing to do with it
With the war all around there was no other sound
And our eyes they were stung by the light of the sun that was fast rising
I grabbed your hand in mine
Our fingers intertwined
Any face that we saw was so unrecognisable now
And we didn't know how every familiar thing we once knew disappeared
I was trying to hear you through the crowd of people screaming
For their souls in a world that they would obey
You and I looked the other way knowing
We are the only ones who knew this kind of love
I promise you this
Skies above had nothing to do with it
We are the only ones who knew this kind of love
I promise you this
Skies above had nothing to do with it
This is gonna be our last mistake
We won't find out 'til it's too late
I wonder if she's gonna stay
I left before he was awake
This is gonna be our last mistake
(Ah)
We won't find out 'til it's too late
I wonder if she's gonna stay
(Ah)
I left before he was awake
We are the only ones who knew this kind of love
(We won't find out 'til it's too late)
I promise you this
Skies above had nothing to do with it
(I left before he was awake)
We are the only ones who knew this kind of love
(We won't find out 'til it's too late)
I promise you this
Skies above had nothing to do with it
(I left before he was awake)
We are the only ones who knew this kind of love
(This is gonna be our last mistake)
I promise you this
Skies above had nothing to do with it
(We won't find out 'til it's too late)
We are the only ones who knew this kind of love
(This was gonna be our last mistake)
I promise you this
Skies above had nothing to do with it
(I left before he was awake)

I am a heart that's hard to pin
You are an arrow sticking in
I pull you out and put you down
With all the others, scattered 'round
You won't give up that easy though
You turn to roots, a tree you grow
Your ivy walls can't keep me in
I am a heart that's hard to pin
I am a heart that's hard to pin
You dig a hole and I fall in
But I'm still beating underground
Down here you think I won't be found
I won't give up that easy though
My heart's the seed, a tree will grow
My bark will be a thicker skin
I am a heart that's hard to pin
Oh, you can't win
Mine is just a little hard
Hard to pin
No, you can't win
Mine is just a little hard
Hard to pin
I am a heart that's hard to pin
You are an arrow sticking in
To pin me down's the hardest part

You remind me of a boy who once left me destroyed
When he cut me like a saw, with his back and forth and
I remind you of someone you loved when you were young
She tossed you like a stone into the ocean
We thought we'd never dance again
So scared of second chances
But now, there's something happenin'
You make me wanna dance
You make me wanna move
You make me wanna
You make me wanna make a new dance up [x2]
You make me wanna dance
Like no one ever has
You make me wanna
You make me wanna make a new dance up [x2]
You make me wanna dance
You make me wanna make a new dance up [x4]
Yeah
There's no need to play it cool cause all I want is you
Boy, you gotta let me know if you really want me
We thought we'd never dance again
So scared of second chances
But now, there's something happenin'
You make me wanna dance
You make me wanna move
You make me wanna
You make me wanna make a new dance up [x2]
You make me wanna dance
Like no one ever has
You make me wanna
You make me wanna make a new dance up [x2]
Yeah
And you know the moves
Cause it's our dance
And you know the moves
And you know the moves
Cause it's our dance
And you know the moves
You make me wanna dance
You make me wanna move
You make me wanna
You make me wanna make a new dance up [x2]

You make me wanna dance
You make me wanna make a new dance up [x8]
