I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs... 'Cause I knew everything when I was young

 

 

Vintage tee, brand new phoneHigh heels on cobblestones
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Sequin smile, black lipstick
Sensual politics
When you are young, they assume you know nothing

But I knew you
Dancing in your Levi's
Drunk under a streetlight, I...
I knew you
Hand under my sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I...

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
A friend to all is a friend to none
Chase two girls, lose the one
When you are young, they assume you know nothing

But I knew you
Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving me your weekends
I..., I knew you
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I...

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite

To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Was all we needed
You drew stars around my scars
But now I'm bleeding

'Cause I knew you
Stepping on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I...
I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy
I..., I knew you
Leaving like a father
Running like water, I...
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Chasing shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be standing in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come back to me
You'd come back to me
And you'd come back to me
And you'd come back

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite

What would you do if we never made a sound?

 
 You brush past me in the hallway
And you don't think I, I, I can see ya, do ya?
I've been watchin' you for ages
And I spend my time tryin' not to feel it

But what would you do if I went to touch you now?
What would you do if they never found us out?
What would you do if we never made a sound?

'Cause I can see you waitin' down the hall from me
And I could see you up against the wall with me
And what would you do? Baby, if you only knew
That I can see you

And we kept everything professional
But something's changed, it's somethin' I, I like
They keep watchful eyes on us
So it's best that we move fast and keep quiet
You won't believe half the things I see inside my head
Wait 'til you see half the things that haven't happened yet

But what would you do if I went to touch you now?
What would you do if they never found us out?
What would you do if we never made a sound?

'Cause I can see you waitin' down the hall from me
And I could see you up against the wall with me
And what would you do? Baby, if you only knew, oh, oh, oh
That I could see you throw your jacket on the floor
I could see you, make me want you even more
What would you do? Baby, if you only knew
That I can see you


I can see you in your suit and your necktie
Passed me a note saying, "Meet me tonight"
Then we kissed and you know I won't ever tell, yeah
And I could see you being my addiction
You can see me as a secret mission
Hide away and I will start behaving myself


I can see you waitin' down the hall from me
And I could see you up against the wall with me
And what would you do? Baby, if you only knew, oh
That I could see you throw your jacket on the floor
I could see you, make me want you even more
What would you do? Baby, if you only knew
That I can see you, oh, I can see you

I Can See You ( Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) - Taylor Swift

I felt my demons, run and die...



Allthough I'm fragile in your hand
I want to take that change
Allthough i might break all that you are
I know i'll do right
Cause you are golden
And i'm all that oooh

Fear not
She said
Fear not
She said

I felt my demons, run and die
In your angels eyes
You say you never felt this way
When you look in to mine

Fear not
She said
Fear not
She said

I'll guard this treasure
And I'll keep it safe
I'll hold your hands and all that you are
I keep you far from harm and I
I'll keep it safe

Fear Not
I'll keep it safe
Fear Not
I'll keep it safe


Fear Not - Michael Prins, Carice Van Houten

I've seen it all go your way...



Tell me this
Does any of this love exist
Or is it just a fire
Keeping out the cold
Fear of the unknown
Turning us to coal

Oh those lips
The heavy way we used to kiss
We'd set the world alight
Live years within a night
And memories never lie
Tell me that I'm right, tell me that I'm right

I've seen it all go your way
But now you fall every day
Your tired, unfamiliar face
Says it all

I was told
Even though we all grow old
Love will never die
Love's ignorant of time
But those words were your own
And that was long ago,
that was long ago

I've seen it all go your way
But now you fall every day
Your tired, unfamiliar face
Says it all

I used to call
I used to call you my own, my dear
But now you're lost
And I am drunk alone, my dear

I used to call
I used to call you my own, my dear
But now you're lost
And I am drunk alone, my dear

My Own - Whitaker

...But I'm ready...To suffer the sea.


I need nothing
To travel the sea
I need nothing
I need nothing
But there's something
Eating beneath
Black water
Take over

Swallowed by a vicious vengeful sea
Darker days are raining over me
In the deepest depths I lost myself
See myself through someone else

The strange silence
Surrounding me
Grows closer
Feels colder
But I'm ready
To suffer the sea
Black water
Take over

Swallowed by a vicious vengeful sea
Darker days are raining over me
In the deepest depths I lost myself
See myself through someone else



Swallowed by a vicious vengeful sea
Darker days are raining over me
In the deepest depths I lost myself
See myself through someone else

Swallowed by a vicious vengeful sea
Darker days are raining over me
In the deepest depths I lost myself
See myself through someone else

I am coming home now...~

War is all around
I'm growing tired to fighting
I've been drained and I can't hide it
But I have strength for you, you're all that's real anymore
I am coming home now, I need your comfort

From this moment
From this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone

States are crumbling, and walls are rising high again
It's no place for the faint hearted
But my heart is strong 'cause now I know where I belong
It's you and I against the world
And we are free

From this moment
From this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone

We've gone against the tide
All we have is each other now
I am coming home now
I need your comfort

From this moment
From this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone
From this moment
From this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone
From this moment
From this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone

We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone

From the shell~

Idir ann is idir as
Idir thuaidh is idir theas
Idir thiar is idir thoir
Idir am is idir áit

Casann sí dhom
Amhrán na farraige
Suaimhneach nó ciúin
Ag cuardú go damanta
Mo ghrá

Idir gaoth is idir tonn
Idir tuilleadh is idir gann
Casann sí dhom
Amhrán na Farraige
Suaimhneach nó ciúin
Ag cuardú go damanta

Idir cósta, idir cléibh
Idir mé is idir mé féin
Tá mé i dtiúin

Between the here, between the now
Between the north, between the south
Between the west, between the east
Between the time, between the place

From the shell
The song of the sea

Neither quiet nor calm
Searching for love again
Mo ghrá
Mo ghrá

Mo ghrá...
Tá mé i dtiúin.

The Song - Lisa Hannigan, Lucy O'Connell

I came here to sink or swim~

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition
I came here to sink or swim
And to show them all that they were wrong
And though I never thought I'd make it this far

So the curtains are down
For the moment I'm someone
There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way
Now there gone
But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are

When I'm down and I'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

When I'm down and I'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years
I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here

It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home

On the way to somewhere...

These days that I got
I can't be what I'm not
Sacrifices I... made for you
One mistake can go
Through this life so slow
Want to keep myself from making two

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On a way to somewhere
Will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong

And the sun will rise
We'll open up our eyes
And see love showin' what's really true
And I would go so far
Just to be where you are
Will take no time bringin' my heart to you

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On a way to somewhere
And will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong

Reaching out from within
Can't tell you where I'd been
Rememberin' something I was told
And it's called me to go
Find my way back home
Hearin' you singin our favorite song

'Cause on this road less travelled on
On the way to somewhere
And will you miss me when I'm gone
I don't know where do I belong...

Go on get it out boy...

For a boy, your heart is pretty see through
For a boy, you sure let your guard down
When you know you want,
Want what you see,
And baby right now you're looking at me
The way you say my name
I know you ain't playin' games

For a boy, you're good at sayin' sorry
For a boy, I sure can feel your heart
It's like a freight train coming at me
I'm across the booth on the edge of my seat
You don't make me wait
You say what you came to say

Go on get it out boy
Say I'm the only one that makes you this crazy
Come on, tell me how boy
How I'm the only thing you're thinking 'bout lately
But what you don't know, what you don't know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like you

For a girl, I'm pretty cool, calm, and collected
For a girl, who's getting more than she expected
From an ex-love but here I am
You're putting your heart in the palm of my hand
I'm trying to act real cool
But inside I'm a lovesick fool

Go on get it out boy
Say I'm the only one that makes you this crazy
Come on, tell me how boy
How I'm the only thing you're thinking 'bout lately
But what you don't know, what you don't know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like you
For a boy like you

Go on get it out boy
Say I'm the only one that makes you this crazy
Come on, tell me how boy
How I'm the only thing you're thinking 'bout lately
But what you don't know, what you don't know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like-
Go on say it all boy
Go on a put every last feeling out on the table
Come on it's last call boy
Before the night ends let's give this a label
Cause what you don't know, what you don't know
Is what a girl like me would do for a boy like you
For a boy like you
What a girl like me would do
For a boy like you

Suddenly... All falls into place....



Suddenly
Life has new meaning
Suddenly
Feeling is being
Suddenly
I don't have to be afraid
Suddenly
All falls into place

And you shine inside
And love stills my mind like the sunrise
Dreaming light of the sunrise

Suddenly
I don't have to be afraid
Suddenly
All falls into place

And you shine inside
And love stills my mind like the sunrise
Dreaming light of the sunrise
Dreaming light and...
And you shine inside
And love stills my mind like the sunrise
Dreaming light of the sunrise
Dreaming light and...

I feel you but I don't really know you
I dreamed of you from the moment I saw you
And I've seen the sunrise in your eyes
The sky, the sea, the light

So live your dream beneath the northern horizon
Be at peace, set your heart in flight again
For the light is truth...
The light is you...

Secrets I have held in my heart are harder to hide than I thought...


I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
Breathing in your dust
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
If you like your coffee hot
Let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots babe
I just wanna be yours

Secrets I have held in my heart
Are harder to hide than I thought
Maybe I just wanna be yours
I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours
Wanna be yours, wanna be yours, wanna be yours...

Let me be your 'leccy meter and I'll never run out
And let me be the portable heater that you'll get cold without
I wanna be your setting lotion
Hold your hair in deep devotion
At least as deep as the Pacific Ocean
I wanna be yours

Secrets I have held in my heart
Are harder to hide than I thought
Maybe I just wanna be yours
I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours
Wanna be yours, wanna be yours, wanna be yours
Wanna be yours, wanna be yours, wanna be yours, wanna be yours

I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
Breathing in your dust
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
I just wanna be yours -Wanna be yours
I just wanna be yours -Wanna be yours
I just wanna be yours -Wanna be yours

When we ignite, we are souls on fire, when we come alive~

The sun goes down like a photograph
You try to stop time in the aftermath
But it's gone, gone

Yesterday reads like a tragedy
I try not to lose what's left of me
But it's gone
Yeah, but we carry on

'Cause we are fire
Burning brightly
You and I
We light the sky
When we ignite, yeah, yeah
When we come alive
When we come alive

It feels like I could get lost today
The winds in my mind get swept away
And I'm gone, gone

And it's one last time to the wishing well
I throw down the change and I wish them well
But they're gone
Yeah, but we'll carry on

'Cause we are fire
Burning brightly
You and I
We light the sky
When we ignite, yeah, yeah
When we come alive
When we come alive

We are souls on fire
We are reaching higher
We are souls on fire
When we come alive
When we come alive

We are fire
You and I

We are fire
Burning brightly
You and I
We light the sky
When we ignite, yeah, yeah
When we come alive
When we come alive

Yeah when we come alive
When we come alive

Strength, heart, soul
