Past Forever 03:22

[Verse 1] Oh no, here I go again Fallin' too fast for a brand new friend I thought by now I would've learned When touching love I just feel the burn [Pre-Chorus] Can't tell what I'm feeling If I'm awake or dreaming [Chorus] So what if you and me make our own history Together x2 and leave the past forever? There's so many things to see Imagine what we could be together x2 And leave the past forever [Guitar Interlude] [Verse 2] She said, "So who's this girl you write your songs about?" "Is she pretty? Is she from your hometown?" The goal is you getting frustrated with me "It's working," she said. "It's working" [Pre-Chorus] Can't tell what I'm feeling If I'm awake or dreaming [Chorus] So what if you and me make our own history Together x2 and leave the past forever? There's so many things to see Imagine what we could be together x2 And leave the past forever [Bridge] I know we can't date till the snow stops And melts away But I want you so bad it hurts me Can't wait another day You're the first girl I've liked To shine a light in me Babe, I've been blind I wanna see, see you [Chorus] So what if you and me make our own history Together x2 and leave the past forever? There's so many things to see Imagine what we could be together x2 And leave the past forever [Ending] Past forever x3

[Verse 1] Fire in front of me Snow is melting She's so hot I can't breathe It's quite obvious She's made me curious Let it get the better of me? Well, we'll see [Chorus] But she's quite a beauty Kinda showy Oh we're having good times It's almost midnight We're at a stoplight [Tag 1] Is this all just a dream? It's sure the way it seems [Verse 2] Get away from me You've had too many drinks I don't want this to be a zoo It's quite obvious You're delirious Then she falls asleep (Ha) finally [Chorus 2] But she's quite a beauty Kinda messy Oh we're having good times It's almost morning I see you smiling [Tag 2] Is this all just a dream? It's sure the way it seems OWWWWW [Chorus 3] Yeah she's quite a beauty Kinda lovely Oh we're having good times It's almost daylight But I love this night [Tag 3: x2] Is this all just a dream? It's sure the way it seems This is all but a dream I sure love what it means

Love Somebody 04:06

[Chorus 1] You know you love somebody When they're gone and your heart's broken You should tell somebody Don't bottle it all in Better yet to tell her how much you love her Just tell her, you'll feel better x2 [Verse 1] It started out in a small town Where the two lovers met Big life, big dreams Their future set But little did they know Love would have its hold Just talking, they fell once more Love took them and opened the door [Chorus 2] You know you love somebody When they're gone and your heart's broken You should tell somebody Instead of bottling it all in Better yet to tell her how much you love her Just tell her, you'll feel better x2 [Verse 2] When he saw her on that first day He went up and asked, "How's it going?" Both were shy, and to their surprise They had talked all night Then the sun woke up And they had to say their goodbyes When their lives got hard Oh did they fight [Chorus 3] You know you love somebody When they're gone and your heart's broken You should tell somebody Don't bottle it all in Better yet to tell her how much you love her Just tell her, you'll feel better Just tell her, you'll stay together [Ending] Love somebody x3 'til it hurts Love Somebody x3 (She helped him x3) (He'll just keep writing songs, he won't stop 'til she knows) 'til it hurts (She's strong and he's wrong and now he's singing a song about it) Love Somebody x3 (She saved him x3) (He'll just keep writing songs, he won't stop 'til she knows) 'til (that) it hurts

[Verse 1] I was walking down a lonesome beach Always searching the vast, open sea Looking for you Who could you be? I never knew, I couldn't see But then you came along Stole my heart with a different song [Chorus 1] Beautiful x3 Beautiful angel You saved my soul You gave me hope Beautiful, beautiful angel You're my angel [Verse 2] You talked with me And I could see Night to morning x2 Brown hair, hazel eyes The stars in my night Oh I never could've imagined you Oh why? How'd you come to me out of the blue? [Chorus 2] Beautiful x3 Beautiful angel You saved my soul You gave me hope Beautiful, beautiful angel You're my angel [Outro] Yeah, beautiful, beautiful angel x2

Just Say Hey 03:50
lyrics

[Verse 1] Every day feels the same without you Why do I never even try to be with you? You have a boyfriend, I won't mess with him Is there a reason the cycle never ends? Maybe it's time for it to end Where do I begin? [Chorus 1] Just say "hey How ya doing? How you doing today? Wow you're looking, wow you're looking great" It's so simple, yet so hard But there's a ripple when you go that far "How ya doing? How ya doing today?" [Verse 2] Every night used to fly by with you Now the time's frozen dead at nine Oh, won't it move? Will you stop lying to yourself? You're not happy it's easy to tell Gotta carry on Hope you know you're wrong Now I'm moving on [Chorus 2] Next girl "hey, how ya doing? How you doing today? What ya doing? What you doing today?" It was simple at the start But now I'm feeling an aching heart "How ya doing? How you doing today?" [Bridge] No, I'm not over you What can I do? Hope he leaves you soon, yeah It's a common theme Wish you'd come back to me Cause I miss you dearly [Chorus 3] How you doing? How you doing today? Are you thinking Are you thinking of me? How ya doing? How ya doing today? Reminiscing, reminiscing we were great You're fickle and oh, so hard You drive me crazy, oh this is wrong But, how you doing? How you doing today? [Fade Out] How you doing? How ya doing today? My heart's beatin' It won't stop 'til you've gone away

[Verse 1] Fallin' asleep alone on Friday night Waitin' for the sun to somehow make things right Why'd you leave? We were strong enough, tough enough But the deed is done [Chorus 1] You are strong enough for me I know we never had anything easy I gotta be strong You gotta be gone What a time we had But it's gone, and it's never coming back [Verse 2] I can't fall asleep tonight Walk through the door, get in bed I'll hold you tight Girl you mean the world to me Now I'm lost at sea [Chorus 2] You are strong enough for me I know we never had anything easy I gotta be strong You gotta be gone What a time we had But it's gone, and it's never coming back [Interlude] I said, "don't leave, just stay, and fight this with me Promise me you won't play the game Trust me, I'll make you feel at home You'll never feel alone again Keep playin' you'll never win x2 I said [Guitar Solo & Interlude] [Chorus 3] You are strong enough for me I know we never had anything easy I gotta be strong You gotta be gone What a time we had But it's gone, just please come back

[Verse 1] Will you long for something? You'll be strong for trying You are not alone in this fight You've got brothers, you've got sisters in my eyes Goodnight [Chorus 1] I'll hold you and keep you warm tonight Out of sight I'm your safest place to hide And when you can't wait 'til the morning I'll be there I'm still here [Verse 2] When it's finally morning All the skies are clearing Everything seems to be alright But then a cloud comes and cries Goodbye [Chorus 2] I'll hold you and keep you warm tonight Out of sight I'm your safest place to hide And when you can't wait 'til the morning I'll be there I'm still here [Guitar Solo] [Chorus 3] But I'll hold you and keep you warm tonight Out of sight I'm your safest place to hide And when you can't wait 'til the morning I'll be there I'm still here I'll be there (Where am I? x2) I'm still here (I'm here, I'm here) I'll be there (Where am I? x2) I'll always be here (I'm here, I'm here)

[Verse 1] Woke up, got up this morning With the greatest, calming feeling Cause I get to see you tonight Well it's summer, it's time to mingle And I'm so glad that you're single Cause I finally get to make my daring move Like peanut butter, I hope I'm nice and smooth [Pre-Chorus] You know I'll always be there Your ex should really stay clear [Chorus] (Cause I'm) Fallin' x4 Fallin' for you And I see girl That you are fallin' too Have no words to say For what I feel today I'm just fallin' x4 Fallin' for you And I see, girl, that you are fallin' too [Verse 2] When we met you said, "Hey! I'm from NOVA" "Wanna travel to Australia" I asked, "Is it cause Lord of the Rings was filmed near there?" "Yeah, how'd you know?!" Had an instant, but late connection You know I liked you before Can Can But something's happened since then Sparks been flyin' on both ends [Pre-Chorus 2] We're so different Not sure of the reason [Chorus 2] (Why I'm) Fallin' x4 Fallin' for you Yeah I see girl That you are fallin' too Love's so confusing Is that what I'm feeling? I'm just fallin' x4 Fallin' for you And I see, girl, that you are fallin' too [Bridge] You might forget some things But that's okay All I ask, babe, is that you meet me halfway Oh you're beautiful I love the talks that we've had Wanna hold you close Move on together from our pasts [Chorus 3] Fallin' x4 Fallin' for you You just gazed in my eyes and Oh my, that's my cue Gonna kiss you Gonna kiss you Risk it all, completely fall And kiss you Gonna kiss you (risk it all) Gonna kiss you (completely fall) Risk it all, completely fall And kiss you Babe, I'm fallin,' fallin,' fallin' And I'll continue to

[Verse 1] Set a time in history Find something that means something When she's gone, no tracks behind Maybe some day you will find [Chorus 1] A different woman A different person who cares But she's a woman And she's a-runnin' away from me [Verse 2] Marked that spot where we first met Never knew how much she spent Looked everywhere, she didn't care I think it's time for someone who will [Chorus 2] A different woman A different person who cares But she's a woman And she's a-runnin' away from me [Guitar Solo] [Chorus 3] Yeah, she's a woman A different person who cares Yeah, she's a woman And she's a-runnin' away from me She's a woman And she's a-runnin' away from me (yeah) She's a woman And she's a-runnin' away from me

[Verse 1] How does one go from creative to utterly depleted? One could say, "he got distracted, blinded by the world" [Chorus 1] Happiness, where'd you go? You left him all alone Shamefulness, get out of here He's burning in his atmosphere [Verse 2] He used to love and enjoy his life Play outside 'til twilight Lego Harry and Hermione Always in a tree (K.I.S.S.I.N.G.) [Chorus 2] Happiness, where'd you go? You left him on this lonely road Shamefulness, get out of here He's burning in his atmosphere [Bridge] And oh, can he get home? He's so far, so far, so far away Yet still, he feels the same He's the same human being The world will try to hide the light inside He's so far He wants to come home He wants to come home today, today Will you let him come? Will you let him come home today? Come home (come home) Come home (come home) Come home

If I Was Famous (Bonus Track) 04:06
lyrics

Ain't it funny how the girls I like always seem to forget to text me back? I think it's money, a BMW, a submariner blue Rolex, some things I lack Somewhere out there, someone has that If I was famous, I'd be on a beach With a stunning girl like Hilary Duff Lovin' every day and getting away with stuff Somebody'd catch us kissin' and laughin' as we chase the sun Just a normal day in the life If I was famous x2 Shiny shoes, tailored pants, navy-silk blazer from France Perfect hair, all the girls stare, but I got my queen for romance Love, love, love like the Beatles fan-girls gave them Screaming, never listening to the music If I was famous, I'd be on a beach With a stunning girl like Hilary Duff Lovin' every day and getting away with stuff Somebody'd catch us kissin' and laughin' on the way home Everyday would be like this If I was famous x2 Is this what life's about? Scoring girls and passing out? Searching for true meaning Sure, I love the beach, but I'll never feel free With the paparazzi always behind me I'm a shy guy, it's not what I need, but I like to dream If I was famous, I'd be on a beach With a stunning girl like Hilary Duff Lovin' every day and getting away with stuff Somebody'd catch us kissin' and laughin' on the way home I'd own a whole beach If I was famous x2 If I was famous, I'd show off my rev to a beautiful girl like Nina Dobrev Whoever the girl, she'd text me back But at the end of the day, the life ain't for me I'll take loneliness over the paparazzi I wanna be free I'm much more now than I ever would be If I was famous If I was famous I'm safe in La La Land Think I'll stay here 'til the end
