The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles, California. They play in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Lakers play their home games at Staples Center, which they share with their local NBA rival, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Los Angeles Kings of the NHL, and the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA. The Lakers are one of the most successful teams in the history of the NBA, and have won 16 championships, their last being in 2010. As of 2012, the Lakers are the most valuable NBA franchise according to Forbes, having an estimated value of $900 million.
The franchise started with the 1947 purchase of a disbanded team, the Detroit Gems of the NBL. The new team began play in Minneapolis, Minnesota, calling themselves the Lakers in honor of the state's nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes". The Lakers won five championships in Minneapolis, propelled by center George Mikan, who is described by the NBA's official website as the league's "first superstar". After struggling financially in the late 1950s following Mikan's retirement, they relocated to Los Angeles before the 1960–61 season.
Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978) is an American professional basketball player who plays shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Bryant enjoyed a successful high school basketball career at Lower Merion High School, where he was recognized as the top high school basketball player in the country. He decided to declare his eligibility for the NBA Draft upon graduation, and was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets, then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. As a rookie, Bryant earned himself a reputation as a high-flyer and a fan favorite by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest.
Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. A heated feud between the duo and a loss in the 2004 NBA Finals was followed by O'Neal's trade from the Lakers after the 2003–04 season. Following O'Neal's departure Bryant became the cornerstone of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise. He led the NBA in scoring during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons, setting numerous scoring records in the process. In 2006, Bryant scored a career-high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, the second most points scored in a single game in NBA history, second only to Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game in 1962. He was awarded the regular season's Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) in 2008. After losing in the 2008 NBA Finals, Bryant led the Lakers to two consecutive championships in 2009 and 2010, earning the NBA Finals MVP Award on both occasions.

Danilo Gallinari (born August 8, 1988) is an Italian professional basketball player with the Denver Nuggets of the NBA. He is 2.08 m (6 ft 10 in) in height and 102 kg (225 lbs) in weight. Danilo mainly plays at the small forward position. His nickname is Gallo, which is Italian for "Rooster".
Gallinari's father, Vittorio Gallinari, played professional basketball with Olimpia Milano (along with future head coach Mike D'antoni),Pallacanestro Pavia, Virtus Bologna, and Scaligera Basket Verona in the Italian league.
Danilo starting playing professionally in 2004 for Casalpusterlengo, a team in Serie B1 (third level in Italy).
In 2005, Gallinari was acquired by Armani Jeans Milano, which then sent him to Edimes Pavia, a team competing in the Italian league second division championship during the 2005–2006 season, so that he could earn more experience with extended playing minutes. Even though he played only half of the season due to an injury, in 2006 he was nominated as the best Italian player of the Italian league second division championship, averaging 14.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 0.8 assists in 17 games.
Jeremy Shu-How Lin (born August 23, 1988) is an American professional basketball player with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). After receiving no athletic scholarship offers out of high school and being undrafted out of college, the 2010 Harvard University graduate reached a partially guaranteed contract deal later that year with his hometown Golden State Warriors.
Lin seldom played in his rookie season and was assigned to the NBA Development League (D-League) three times. He was waived by the Warriors and the Houston Rockets the following preseason before joining the Knicks early in the 2011–12 season. He was again assigned to the D-League and continued to play sparingly. In February 2012, he unexpectedly led a winning streak by New York while being promoted to the starting lineup, which generated a global following known as Linsanity. Lin is one of the few Asian Americans in NBA history, and the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to play in the league. He is known for his public expression of the Christian faith.
remember you can count on me
i'm on your fighting side
i'm pretty sure it's mutual
you're on my fighting side too
i'll tell you why it hurts
everyone you love, love themselves more
nothings ever gonna change
noone's ever gonna care
but i'm your silver lining, i'm your silver lining
remember you can count on me
i'm on your fighting side
i'm pretty sure it's mutual
you're on my fighting side too
you threw out the phone
so now there's nothing to wait by
you choose it for yourself
but somewhere where you're not
someone that you never meet
is wondering where you are
now, where are you?
remember you can count on me
i'm on your fighting side
i'm pretty sure it's mutual
you're on my fighting side too
I know your heart is broken
you can't even see the fractions of the shape that it
used to be
but it will mend, it will mend now
like the terminator the pieces will come together again
remember you can count on me
i'm on your fighting side
i'm pretty sure it's mutual
You say nothing feels like the first time and I know it
would be quite stupid, hello
I just wanted to levitate up in the sky
Just to get rid of you and the little things that you do
And the little things that you do
And the little things that you do
You are watching my every step so don't except our love
to grow bold
I just wanted to levitate up in the sky
Just to get rid of you and the little things that you do
And the little things that you do
And the little things that you do
Everything look so big but oh so small when I look down
But I think that I will stay here for a while even if it
grows darker now
I say it ain't gonna work out for us so you see we better
just end it right here
I just wanted to levitate up in the sky
Just to get rid of you and the little things that you do
And the little things that you do
And the little things that you do
And the little things that you do
There are still some things I’d like to say to you
Some things you should see
But since were not that close no more
I’m gonna have to let it be
Although it’s really annoying,
And it's bugging me a lot
I'm just gonna be quiet,
And maybe you will work it out, but I doubt it
You cant say no forever, no no no,
Sometimes you should let it slide, ah ah ah aaaah,
I know I’m not so clever, no no no no,
But you’re not completely kind
Sometimes when I call you,
I just feel like hanging up
You’re not getting any older
and it never seems to stop
Now if I was you’re boyfriend/girlfriend,
I would tell you all of this
But since we’re not together
I’m not saying anything at all
You cant say no forever, no no no,
you have to let me in, ah ah ah aaaah,
You are really stubborn, no no no no,
but in the end I always win
I’ve had it up to here (now you know)
your stealing and cheating and all your lies
No more chances for you (no no no)
No more chances for you (no no no)
So I follow you around - Not a word from you
you can even hear my heart break
No more lovesongs for you
No more songs at all for you
One day you’ll be alone
And where will I be then – I’ll be gone
I am not invisible, I’m not blind
Everybody can see me cry
Everyone but you (oh oh oh)
everyone but you (no no no)
And so I follow you around - You are laughing now
But I’ll be laughing too (before you know) – and you
know
No more lovesongs for you
No more songs at all for you
One day you’ll be alone
And that’s when I’ll be gone – I’ll be gone
No more love songs for you
This is the last time I’ll say
that I ever loved you
But this is the last time I swear
One day you’ll be alone
And there will be no songs for you (no no no)
The lights spell: I miss you - but it's a big city
If I stay at the same place long enough
Sooner or later I'll run into you
The airplane banner says: Marry me
But it's a big city
Over and over I think that it's you
But it never is when I get there
Love is cheap but you are not!
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love,
a million for your love
All the graffitti says: maybe i'm the one
But it's a big city
Nobody else will love you like I do
They say love is blind but baby so are you
Freedoms free but love is not
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love,
a million for your love
Well, it's a big city and it's full of signs
But you keep missing them, yeah, you keep missing them
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love
A penny for your thoughts and a million for your love,
Stay away, tomorrow I will be OK
far away, i'll find you on a better day
I think that I like you cause I think that you're like
and that's really strange because I don't like myself
But when it's a good day I think that i'm OK
but this day today has not been one of those days
It's not that i'm feeling lonely it's also that i'm by
myself
Noone likes to be lonely except for when it's lonely
with you
So who (who) who (who) who will bring us together?
And how (how) how (how) how long will it take?
All I see are your eyes when your eyes are on me
If you like me then likings not the problem you see
I'm nothing like you and nothing you do can me not like
you cause i'm crazy for you
You're nothing like me, you just disagree and that's
just what I need to feel complete
It's not that i'm feeling lonely it's also that i'm by
myself
Noone likes to be lonely except for when it's lonely
with you
So who (who) who (who) who will bring us together?
And how (how) how (how) how long will it take?
I guess that you'll hear this when you get home (oh,
but when will you get home)
I know i'm drunk but I still mean what I say (if I can
remember it the next day)
im starting to forget just what ive said now (now it's
time to go to bed)
oh, and I call you again tomorrow if im not dead by
then
So who (who) who (who) who will bring us together?
If you look the other way - You think all of it will
disappear
But I'm sad to say that's not how it works
It's been cold since october, It's been dark all my
life
Except for moments that I'm trying hard not to forget
Well, it happened over night, It happened little by
little
I was surprised but I knew It all along
We need a recount, We need a recount
We need a second opinion and a judge
I read in a book somewhere - Something like everyone
can change
and I wish I could apply it on myself
I've been trying to think twice, And be conciderate and
nice
Except for moments that I'm trying hard just to forget
It happened over night, It happened one step at the
time
I was surprised, And at the same time I was not
We need a recount, We need a recount
We need a second opinion and a judge
We are kids we can't decide, nonono, We are kids we
can't decide
We are kids we can't decide, nonono, We are kids we
can't decide
We are kids we can't decide, nonono, We are kids we
can't decide
We are kids we can't decide, nonono, We are kids we
you`re pretty in the morning, in the morning light
your hair all messed up and your eyes open like they
open for the first time
and I wish this morning could last forever
and it never had to get dark
because I know in the evening the feeling from the
morning is all gone
you have left your secrets somewhere
and I have mine on the inside
telling someone everything don`t make it easy it just
makes it hard
it's not easy it's just hard
So cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon with me now,
cmon with me now
you`re drewling on the pillow
snoring in my ear
I wish you`d never wake up
and that this feeling didn`t have to disappear
I don`t believe in soulmates
and in everlasting love
but I do believe that efter these rainy days
there`s bound to be some sun
The alarm goes off softly
You reach out and snooze it everytime
and most of the times you would be late if I didn`t
wake you up
but I always wake you up
So cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon with me now,
You say you see a darkness in daylight, so you forget
and pause a while
But you never really stay sad, lots of friends and
aquaintances
And you wanna be the one who’s glad – in everyones
company
You say were once as young as me
Remember what it’s like to be so sad
If you fall, I welcome you with open arms into the dark
night
And I’m a bit like Terrence Hill, I might seem cool but
underneath
I am just as scared and sad as you, and if you stay a
while and pause you see
I will make you smile and I wont talk
about depressions or about me / about depressing stuff
like me
just you
If you fall, I welcome you with open arms into the dark
night
And if you find what you think that you need, I wont
say I know better than you
‘Cause if you’re really truly glad I wont tell you that
it might pass too
I swear I’ll never tell you to but you should build a
living is not an option but I guess suicide is worse
and I hate making decisions and I don't want it to hurt
when I talked to the psychiatrist, she merely shrugged
at me
said this thing you're experiencing, you're not
suicidal
you're just a human being my friend
and everybody feels like you do anyway
but look at me, now look at me
with my hand and feet on the reiling
with my heart all bleed out
I bet you didn't believe me when I said that this was
different
when I said that this was different
tell all my friends, it's gonna get a whole lot worse
before it's getting better the skies will look so dark
the hardest part when someone is leaving
is when you never get to say goodbye
tell my mother that anger is just another side of grief
I know it's the hardest on the parents
to outlive their own kid
don't make it look like an accident, don't make it look
like an accident
don't make it look like an accident, don't make it look
like an accident
don't make it look like an accident, don't make it look
like an accident
don't make it look like an accident, don't make it look
like an accident
give them someone to blame
i'm trying hard to control myself
but this is my stop, this is my stop, this is my stop,
You don’t have to be afraid, it’s getting warmer day by
and pretty soon the days will all belong to us
You got all year figured out, figured out
You’ve planned each day and every night, every night
This way feelings never have to interfere
so look outside the window and listen to the sound
you just assume your heart is beating but baby…
Someday it will not, someday it will not, no, someday
it will not, no no
Someday it will not, no, someday it will not, someday
it will not, no no
I know I am in your way
I know what your schedules say
But I’m afraid if I walk away, you’ll be alright
My plan is to be lost, to be lost
To be on time, or late or not, late or not
And every season changing will feel like the first time
but look outside the window and listen to the sound
you just assume your heart is beating but baby…
Someday it will not, someday it will not, no, someday
it will not, no no
Someday it will not, no, someday it will not, someday
This could last forever
If forever is a really short time
And we could stay together
If together is far far apart
And we dont have to change a thing
As long as nothing stays the same
If we pause now - no time for sorrow
Lets wait for tomorrow - tomorrow
Lets get old, lets be bold, lets get old - today - in
just one day
These reversepills aint working
And where are all the time travellers (from the future)
Shouldnt we have met ourselves by now?
I dont wanna wait any longer
To go back
and correct all my regrets
Lets get old, lets be bold, lets get old - today - in
just one day
Everything will be over soon
Time flies when we're having fun
No more fighting, no more fighting
You'll die before I do
Nothing that you do
nothing that you do...
Can make me leave you now
Lets get old, lets be bold, lets get old - today - in
just one day

one that pays loads
and one that i also love
I dont know where I go wrong

I don't want you to miss me
good things never last
and a sundays a sunday, a sundays a sunday
its all for the best and you might thank me some day,
sunday, some day, sunday
the world is full of saturdays

im not saying its your fault, you just got to be right
and if you wanna blame someone - (I wanna blame
someone)

an easy target, i don't mind - (why would you mind?)
as long as were still friends - (were not friends,
anymore)
so let me in (let me go once again)
please, let me in (let me go once again)
all the lies (and all the bad talk), we can fix it (we
can mend this)

the silent treatment isnt helping (and the longer we
stay angry) it gets worse
I see a brightness and so could you
it doesnt have to be this way, this could be patched up
im sure
if we both want it to, we could go back to before
you know i don't like to beg - (and i don't wanna

if we just could sit back - (I don't want to talk)
enjoy the moment that's all - (were not friends -
anymore - so)
so let me in (let me go once again)
please, let me in (let me go once again)

you know i see a brightness and so could you
the silent treatment isnt helping (and the longer we
stay angry) it gets worse
I see a brightness and so could you
plans come and plans go - everything looks so small
im thinking about swallowing my pride and picking up
the phone

i'll do, do, do - tomorrow
all the lies (and all the bad talk), we can fix it (we
can mend this)
you know i see a brightness and so could you
the silent treatment isnt helping (and the longer we
stay angry) it gets worse
Noone listens to you - But you keep talking cause thats
what you do
You need a new dictionary - There are more words than
me, me, me, me
So if you got something to say – this is the time
If you got something to tell me – this might be your
last chance
You have my attention now babe
So go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
I’m listening, c’mon and tell me everything
So go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
I’m listening so spit it all out
You can’t be right all the time - You can’t be wrong
all the time
I’m sorry for the things that i do - From now on I’ll
be friendly to you
So if you got something to say – this is the time
If you got something to tell me – this might be your
last chance
You have my attention now babe
Go ahead now, baby don’t be shy, noones blaming you,
and there’s no right or wrong
Go ahead now, baby don’t you cry, I will count to 5,

Go ahead now, you were right once, I don’t remember
when, but it could happen again
Go ahead now, baby dont be shy, tell me everything,
the phone was set on mute - that's why I didn't take the
call
I was feeling kind of homesick - so I left without saying
good bye
you make up these excuses (excuses, excuses)
and hope noone will see (excuses, excuses)
that the biggest liar (excuses, excuses)
in the room is you (excuses, excuses)
no, I really like your food
it's just that I already ate
please write down the recipe
i'll cook this once a week
you keep up with your excuses - you hope noone will see
when you look into the mirror - you see a big phoney
I guess it's that you dont like me
or maybe you're just shy
maybe it's none of the above
maybe you're just a liar
but im sick of these excuses - im sick of all white lies
for once just level with me - its not that hard to say
goodbye
a hole in your head, a hole in you heart
you're coming apart and its happening soon
there's a special place for broken hearts
there's a special place for your broken heart
where love goes when it dies, where love goes when it
dies, where love goes when it dies
and our love will die
I never thought something could hurt
more than a dislocated limb but this hurts more
there's a special place in my heart and in it you'll stay
there's a special place in my heart and in it you'll stay
where love goes when it dies, where love goes when it
dies, where love goes when it dies
This song ? vision
That sooner or later God will come for us all
Got nothing
The clock’s unwound
? my next scheme
I chose
I’m set up, and I’m finished
I can say that with conviction
Wondering where I went wrong
If I’ve done anything at all
I was set up from beginnings
I could prove it, but I don’t have to
Sure, I’ve done a lot of things wrong
But you haven’t seen anything
The rest ha ha ha
I don’t know a shoulder that could handle the weight
Call in ?
I’m set up, and I’m finished
I can say that with conviction
Wondering where I went wrong
If I’ve done anything at all
I was set up from beginnings
I could prove it, but I don’t have to
Sure, I’ve done a lot of things wrong
Hey there, Mr. Misery
As luck may have it
There's a seat right next to me
So come sit down
We can raise a toast
To our present company
With no no legal liability
No no no
This town totaled her
Don’t you think so?
When there’s nowhere left to turn, where do you go?
Oh no, here comes Mrs. Valentine
Don’t listen to a word she says
She would stand here to increase the bottles bottom line
And don’t look her in the eye
She ain’t sitting down at this table no more
Cause the heart is just an organ
Pumping blood to the wounds that I’m ignoring
No no no
This town totaled her
Don’t you think so?
When there’s nowhere left to turn, where do you go?
There’s no party hats
In the big show
That reads as if normal as I’d like to be
Hey Mr. DJ, why are you dressed that way?
You spin yourself into a celebrity
The scene washed up, but it’s ok
No one will know, no one will care
It’s all part of the phase
This night is scratching after falling apart
Until I leave I will never be secure
I’m one, one and hopeful
Stop being in the way, cliché, cliché
It’s getting kinda late
And my rhyme’s getting fake
Cause I’m drooling for another town
Quiver to the lips
No start to the hip
Hurray for this breakdown
This cat’s curiosity
Is killing like a crime on an accident of circumstance
Scratching at the eyes
The sleepless nights
Like a ravishing murder
This is the last thing I needed
But I guess that’s a written rule
I’m in bed with the villains, working with the suits
And the rest is a creative wreck
This is such a sad investigation
But I can’t seem to find a clue
And the ones in front of me
I don’t wanna see ‘em
Nothing left to do
Open door I, I can claim
All the things that you’re trying to take from me
Gotta tell ya, ya got me right where you want me
Oh, I hate the way that you’re making me beg
For the strength to get out of your way
Open door I, open door I
Why oh why do you love me?
Why am I tasting the drink of temptation
And why am I not trying to feel it
Like I’m on the run
I think you got the wrong guy for these jobs
To easily persuaded
If you think I’m wrong
Just tell me, tell me
Cos it’s killing me
Open door I, I can claim
All the things that you’re trying to take from me
Gotta tell ya, ya got me right where you want me
Oh, I hate the way that you’re making me beg
For the strength to stay out of your way
Open door I, open door I
Why oh why do you love me?
Next time that it's late
And my rhyme seems faint
And I’ll be in other town
Genius on the lips
Maybe on the hips
And I laugh out the break… down
Open door I, I'm not afraid
All the things you’re trying to take from me
I just signed the papers
I resigned to verity
I gotta precede my reputation
Because it'll be the death of me
I got one foot out of the apartment
The other one's in my mouth
Oh, to be honest with ya
I don't think I got anything to talk, talk about
I just wanna feel the night
Like I used to, like I used to
And outrun all this nervousness and just be the way I was
Whaddaya say we wake up and
Tie on a couple more
We could make a list of our repercussions
That we make from the night before
Oh no, if I'm me I gotta say "fuck that"
Cos that's what this city is for
I got a growing hate for it
I don't wanna do it no more
Anymore
I just wanna feel the night
Like I used to, like I used to
And outrun all this nervousness and just be the way I was
The gates are closing
And the stench is disgusting
It's making me sick
And the streetlights...I feel them flickering
Might be hours before my head clears from the thick
Maybe I need to do some magic
So I disappear like a ghost
Who's been haunted
Who's been lost
Who's been loved
Who's been hunted
Who's been rotten
And he can't say he's sorry
He's sorry
We’ve been living our lives in parallels
Skipping stones in wishing wells
We broked on the scene, the scene has stopped us
Isn’t funny where the scene has dropped us?
Look now where we are twitching to seizing my hearts
Girl what have we done, surely threw ourselves on the fire
???, hope we know it's consequence
But I gotta say, I really wish I cared
Pick our poison, set the sights
I don’t see no way to save us
Shotguns pointed at each other’s mouths
I pull the trigger, you supply the shells
Look now where we are twitching to seizing my hearts
Oh what have we done, surely threw ourselves on the fire
???, hope we know it's consequence
But I gotta say, I really wish I cared
Say goodbye to summer sun
Shadows singing goodnight early on
Don’t wanna be another notch on your belt
Are we gonna do what’s necessary?
Not to slip through the cracks, oh yea
What if I serve ????
Peeling away, peeling away, no no
I don’t wanna give this feeling away
I don’t wanna give this feeling away
I don’t wanna give it, I want you to know
Oh oh oh oh
It’s driving me crazy!
So you got a little loaded
And realized that you liked it
Maybe a little broken hearted
Or something to that effect
You never took your chance to leave it
All the answers in your body
Instead it stays internally
It’s never going away
You let sleeping dogs lie
You let yourself get angry
It’s hard to be affected now by anyone
It’s hard to be affected
You can’t beat yourself up
You can’t put yourself down like that
Stop being so ominous
Stop being so goddamn obvious
Do you have a bit of surprise?
It’s tough and quicker than you think
It’s hard to live any other way [2x]
When you’re cursing at the moon in the night
The cold blues just feels so right
You in the wail and appealing
Just to know you’re alive
Maybe you’re looking for a lyric
If it’s poetic that you’re chasing
I hope you find it real soon [2x]
The longer you wait
The tougher you make decisions
Decisions that won’t make or break you
But you let it control you
The harder you breathe
The quicker fatigue
It makes your body numb
I know that you can’t help it [2x]
You let sleeping dogs lie
You let yourself get angry
It’s hard to be affected now by anyone
It’s hard to be affected
You can’t beat yourself up
You can’t put yourself down like that
Stop being so ominous
Stop being so goddamn obvious
Do you have a bit of surprise?
It’s tough and quicker than you think
It’s hard to live any other way
But you should know
At the top of my lungs I’ve been screaming and scheming
My high scream over midnight into morning
And then suddenly reflecting too much makes my heart tired
I left a paper trail, the span in Jersey
Of course I ripped it to shreds to remain a mystery
So if you’re thinking about getting close, closer to me
You just better back off, oh, back off
Hey hey, whoa, I feel lost
Maybe down in the gutter and I want out
But not for long
Cause the gutter, I figured out
Is the last place that I would be found
I remember this and that
I recall what is useless
I recollect and I recollect
But there’s no need for specifics
I’ve been back to square one so many times
I've hid it in every corner
But the circle prevails
And my history can spell
Hey, na na na na, oh oh
Haven’t dug a hole I couldn’t write myself out off
So why do I feel like I owe some sort of apology?
For all the songs outta whack, you're whisper high rack
And the friends that I never go back
Hey hey, whoa woo, I feel lost
Maybe down in the gutter and I want out
But not for long
Cause the gutter, I figured out
The arm and armored fist can only go so far
We're in a wreck of a ship that is sinking
With no hope valid in..
With one hand on the deck
When the other's behind the back
With it's fingers crossed
No that can't work
I'm avoiding all the cracks
I read about a lot and its a fact
About the hooray for ovation
Just giving me headaches
Heart's just not in tact
I'm more superstitious now than I ever was
Oh yeah that sucks
It's raining outside and I didn't even know that
And outside the window
Oh yeah probably thinking song
About highway devo
Rah Are you missed on the seats of a colorful carousel
Oh when they come back around
I doubt they'll be beautiful
Forever better off as an awkward situation
As the shrapnel stays in apparently to infection
I remember this words then I ever was before
The tip of the toes that exhausted every thought
But I’m not giving up on the anthem
I’m just dancing to the beat of a different drum
Ohhh
A gentle wind come to blow me over
I get a better view from where I’m from
And I’m not satisfied with the answers
And the smell, it reminds me of the road
Going back ain’t that easy
I’m built to crack from bleeding evenings
Got a mind all of their own
Oh, what’s left to know
I’ve lost it in myself some time ago
How? Maybe we should pave the way
Better turn this life around
In the opposite direction is to make this party loud
And I'm making substitutions from a inside, from a face
The enchantment started answer shit
And I never could defeat
And I swear I’ll go down with the ship this time
I’m the captain and I’ll take this to the helm
Going back ain’t that easy
I’m built to crack from bleeding evenings
Got a mind all of their own
Oh, what’s left to know
I’ve lost it in myself some time ago
When we get back I'll heavy something
I gotta say that I don’t mind
Just needed new dramatics to bounce back from
And I’m not giving up on the anthem
I’m just dancing to the beat of a different drum
Gentle wind oh yea come and blow me over
I just need new dramatics to bounce from
And I’m not satisfied with the buzzing no
I just need a new noise from a different home
Brutal wind gonna take you to blow me over
I lay on the side of caution, cos I can
Lay in the grass I’ve grown - ho ho hey!
Too many snakes slither round and round
Taking bites from the apple that barely fell -- ho ho hey!
Don’t get me wrong, I know you’ve got inches thick best interest
I don’t know which one -- ho ho hey!
Politics, you go round about
Oh, it’s heart breakings that don’t need scratching, no
Are you here for the music?
Are you here to be seen?
Or are you here for the scene?
What scene?
Or are you here for the music?
Or are you here for the scene?
Or are you here for the scene?
What scene?
I gotta set it straight - we’re never going back
I gotta tell myself - we gotta take it back
[2x]
How can this true one thing…?
We’re on our, on our own
We can do it better
And maybe get things done
And maybe we can get that feeling back
If it’s not too late… too late for us
I hope it’s not…no!
I know there’s some people out there
Who understand me and where I’m trying to go
With this… this!
Just trying to make a change of myself
Just trying to feel something new
Even if it’s wrecked
We’re the ones making music
Together we made a scene
And they’re taking it… C’mon, hey!
We’re the ones acting stupid
And they’re the ones being mean
So express it… C’mon… say!
I gotta set it straight - we’re never going back
I gotta tell myself - we gotta take it back
[4x]
How can this true one thing…?
We’re on our, on our own
We can do it better
And maybe get things done
Maybe we can get that feeling back
If it’s not too late… too late for us
When the day goes away and the river, if it’s the closest I’ll ever get
To feeling close to home, then I don’t want a home
If I could just close my eyes, wake up melted from all the guises
The secrets that you hold, the truths that go untold
So I'm lost in rhythms
Are not missing drive
You can call me jaded
You can call me whatever you like
Just need a song
Oh, just need a song
To wash us over
Redeeming me every time
But I don’t think that I’ll ever wait for us
And we dance
And we stumble
But we vacant know
I used to be romantic
I might not have the means, the means to get to the end
But I don’t know what’s wrong, no, I don’t know what’s wrong
If I did what should I do..texting it for
They're in my favor
But would that do the trick? It might not do the trick
I’m lost in seasons
They make me feel kind of shitty
And you can call it depression
And you can call it whatever you want
And the saddest songs
Oh, the saddest songs
Take me over
They leave my lips every night
And I try and I try and I try and I try
Now we dance
And we stumble
But we may can’t tell what used to be romantic
Are we dead?
Don’t know how
She wakes up every day just thinking about her job
She takes a shower and gets dressed always on a rush
10 hours pass and she hasn’t given it a thought
She drives back home, she feels alone, one more day is
gone
But today she’ll meet someone that will change her day
While buying something she feels him staring at her
Not only this day but he’ll change all off her days
She realizes at the end that
All she wants is to feel
Like being home
Like being hugged
Like being home back again
Like being loved
Like being home
Like being hugged
Like being home back again
I’m counting backwards
The days to finally
Be there with you
Could this be true?
And while I’m waiting
I grab a pencil and
Think about you
With me there too
And all I do is try try try
To write a song of you and I
So you can sing to me at night
To my ear
Don’t worry we’ll have time time time
I’ll fall asleep into your arms
stay for a while
i will give you some tea
stay just an hour
won't be long, you will see
i can talk, i can play violin
lets pretend that you like me
stay for a while
just two hours have passed
stop looking at the time on your watch
we can dance we can play guitar
lets pretend
lets pretend
please pretend
that you hear the words i say
lets pretend
i'll pretend that some story will begin
lets pretend
just before
i'll get drunk and you will go
say you're here with good intentions.
lets pretend
please pretend
that you hear the words i say
lets pretend
i'll pretend that some story will begin
lets pretend
just before
i'll get drunk and you will go
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
Chorus:
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me
(Chorus)
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
What will they learn
How will they know
