Oh baby, you drive me crazy. I know you can’t get me off your mind. And when I’m not around, you have a constant frown. But when I’m near you it makes me feel bound.
I don’t need you in my life. Me myself it’s just alright. Can you stop texting me, calling me, following me. Stop! And hold! I need to breathe. I need to feel free. I don’t need all your craziness around me. I don’t need you in my life. Me myself is just alright. Can you stop texting me, calling me, following me.
You say it’s love. I say it’s pure insanity. You want to hang and just be with me, but you don’t see, your love is smothering me.
I don’t need you in my life. Me myself it’s just alright. Can you stop texting me, calling me, following me. Stop! And hold! I need to breathe. I need to feel free. I don’t need all your craziness around me. I don’t need you in my life. Me myself is just alright. Can you stop texting me, calling me, following me.
I need to be free. I’m a camp rocker so let me be me!

Have you remembered me?
Have you even thought of me?
Have you remembered my name
well, nothing has changed
I need you by my side
I don’t think you care
But I still want you to know
I will always be there
Chorus:
Admire the night
It’s so bright it shines
the only thing missing is you
Nothing will be okay
until you show up and say
I am still remembering you
Is it really worth it?
To let you go that easy
when obtaining you was so hard.
I lost you (I lost you)
I need you (I need you)
I’ve tried and cried (I’ve tried and I’ve cried)
I’ll never be the same (the same)
If you’re not with me (with me)
Life just comes down
and leaves good things back (good things back)
CHORUS
Just picture our yesterday
everything shined
and everything smiled
to us
Just picture our today
everything went dark
and everything cries
to us
Everyday I open my eyes
and find a bad surprise
you’re not next to me anymore
CHORUS

Verse 1:
Everytime we look at love, we fail to see
that sometimes it’s just not meant to be
It doesn’t flow like the birds in the sky
It doesn’t produce gleeful smiles,
but saddened hearts full of lies
Chorus:
So this is my wakeup call,
I’m not going to cry again
I’m alive and I’ll stay that way
Gonne fight through our pain
(Acapella)
Wake up (3x)
This is my wake up call
Wake up (3x)
No more dreaming allowed.
Verse 1:
She was like any other girl,
waiting for her knight in shining armor
Yet being with him, being with him made it harder and harder to remain alive.
She told herself survive the storm, see the rainbow, but I can’t hold on anymore
It’s suffocating my soul
Chorus
(Acapella)
Wake up (3x)
This is my wakeup call
Wake up (3x)
No dreaming allowed
Bridge:
Leave, why don’t you just leave (3x)
I just wanna wake up from this dream
I’m such a mess right now
I’m a rebel at its best, so outta, a, c-c-control,
I don’t know where my head is
CHORUS

Had a messed up day
Just wanna get away
Just blow everything off right now
Just wanna live right now
Don’t wanna waste my days away
or talk about the good times
wanna make memories that will
last for a lifetime
Can’t make memories when you
spend your time inside
Cause time expires and I don’t wanna
be too late and I admire the ones
that cheated the race
Just don’t wanna be too late
Just don’t wanna be too late
Too many of us waste our ties
Stressing for dumb things
Too many of us think too much
instead of proceeding
Sometimes you just need to live your
life and pretend that everything is alright
cause in the end it will be alright
if you live your life
I just don’t wanna waste my days
dread away
don’t wanna waste my youth hid away
Wanna savor right now partying away
Partying away

I never believed that part
my soul breaks down
tears fall out

drop dead gorgeous
I don't want to be with you no more
no more (repeat)

lovely outside and ugly in
never wanted to cry
I'm sick of your games
you're hurting me so bad
chorus
verse 3
and i am standing here
wondering will I love again?

Hey you! Don’t waste my time
When I say hey it doesn’t mean
say a mean goodbye
because listen...really, really
because listen...really, really
I don’t need, I don’t need your anything
It doesn’t mean sh to me
you didn’t teach me anything
I was never learning
When I called you my best friend
that means I trusted you
then what happened? I wouldn’t expect much from you...
but look at my side of it
because listen...I really really...I really, really
I don’t need your, I don’t need your anything.
It doesn’t mean sh- to me
you didn’t teach me anything!
I was never learning
Look at you, what should I expect
We plead mercy, now we are friends
what do you think would happen in the end
because listen...I really really, I really really
I don’t need your anything.
It doesn’t mean sh- to me.
You didn’t teach me anything
I was never learning

The sky was black
smoke filled the air
and everyone there
was filled with despair
the flames torched the sky
and everyone knew they would die
cause the house is on fire

It was a house on fire! And they knew they would die (2x)
Oh-h-h-h House on fire (2x)

I’m waiting outside the house
watching it burning
everything there was turning turning
to ashes
CHORUS

Someone was in the attic
lit a candle
the music was so loud
the candle fell over
it spread through the house
and everyone evacuated
THE HOUSE WAS ON FIRE

Intro
Verse 1
Looking through the window glass
Waiting for this day to pass
walking through the city night
Lights are low but I’m shining bright
Chorus
The midnight sun just got higher
You feel like the truth but you’re a liar
Verse 2
You are the midnight sun
It feels like I lost but I know I won
You’re out of mind, you’re out of sight
You’re brighter than any street light
CHORUS
Bridge
Leaping through the night like a kangaroo
Looking at my shoe
with the sun’s point of view
But here comes the eclipse
the sinking of the ship
the CD starts to skip
the road starts to dip
there’s no end to this

LYRICS:
Verse 1:
I heard a story once about a boy and a girl
who had each other and that was all they had in the world
way in uptown, downtown, 1960’s type of love yo
I heard that love like this still exist in the world so
Chorus:
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme something to live for (2x)
Verse 2:
This is not another poor love song
this is straight from the heart real talk I’m strong
I’m simply trying to explain to you on
how I live and what I live for
Trust me please I won’t let you go
Drop everything on the fly lets go
Oh oh oh oh
Gimme gimme something to live for
CHORUS (4x)
Bridge (everyone)
Together we can conquer the world
i know you’ll be there if I fall
Let me know I’m your baby girl
that you’ll come running if I call
I need that kind of love and protection
someone I can say is mine
just give me all your time and affection
together like a star we’lll shine
CHORUS
Verse 3 (Niambi):
I say all this just to say you’re my everything
You’re my baby
Our parents will never agree
they don’t understand it’s just you and me
forever you will be my life
when it’s dark outside
you are my light
When we’re apart I want you more
You give me something to live for
CHORUS (6x)
...Or I’m out the door
living life until something new begins
and all I want is gone
sand and you're the cause
feeling like I will scream from the loss
chorus

D-A-N-C-I-N-G (2x)

Can you hear the music playing loud, get off the ground
It’s time to move your feet
Don’t be scared, don’t be shy, step in the light and move with the beat

Just step up there, just go try. Don’t be scared, don’t be shy
Spread your wings and you can fly!
Verse 2:
You’re a dancing star, show us who you are
Step up on the stage don’t be dancing halfway
Give us all you got, show us that you’re not afraid

Just step up. Just go try, don’t be scared, don’t be shy.
Spread your wings and you can fly!

You can keep a day at the beach in a jar,
You can keep hugs in your heart.
You can keep misty mornings locked up in a jar,
You can bottle up a sunset.
chorus
Though so many years have past
My memories are still clear as glass,
You can rifle through the ages,
Between the lines on all the pages,
And never find what you’re looking for.
A lifetime can be stored in a box,
When there’s something to look at something to lock.
Protect yourself and never see the truth,
Or your future will come steal your youth.

Verse 1
Whenever I feel depressed
it helps me to eat some oreos
Whenever I think its helpless
I know I need some moreos
Chorus
Then I feel alive again
and all my troubles seem to disappear with oreos
Verse 2
I realize that the best medicine is oreos
Whenever I lose myself I clear the way with oreos
Chorus
Heartache, heartbreak: I need something to make it all better
Then I feel alive again and all my troubles seem to disappear with oreos

Verse 1:
Around the sunset there’s trees and a beautiful ocean below.
I want to go to a place where I can see the sunset, sunset, sunset.
I can see the sunset, sunset, sunset.
CHORUS
When I see the sunset at 6:30pm
I feel so special and like everything is going right
I can see the sunset, sunset, sunset
I can see the sunset, sunset, sunset
Verse 2:
I can finally see the sunset
setting by my house
In a magical world oh how I love the sunset, sunset, sunset.
Sunset, sunset, sunset.

"Which Way" by Unknown
02:46
|
|||
|
There are two doors and they’re closing
Don’t know which to choose
before it’s too late
Which way
which way
It’s like a guessing game
which way
which way
Yay!!!
Tell myself to shut up, shut up
I’m trying to think about something
But I just can’t get it out of my mind
Waiting and waiting
don’t know what to do
everything in my mind
I’m so confused
