Counting the steps... Between us...

Back of the room
Looking at you
Counting the steps
Between us
A hundred and five
Little blades in a line
From your skin to mine
And I feel it
Eyes on the ground
But I can't look up now
Don't wanna give it away
My secret

In another life, my teeth and tongue
Would speak aloud what until now I've only sung

'Cause I would die to make you mine
Bleed me dry each and every time
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back a thousand times

You can make me wait forever
Push me away and tell me never
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back a thousand times

Kiss me goodnight
Like a good friend might
I'll do the same
But won't mean it
'Cause love is a cage
These words on a page
Carry the pain
They don't free it
In another life I wouldn't need to
Console myself as I resign to, release you

'Cause I would die to make you mine
Bleed me dry each and every time
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back a thousand times

You can make me wait forever
Push me away and tell me never
I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back a thousand times

Again again I let it go, let it go
Cover my mouth don't let a single word slip
Out wouldn't wanna tell you, no tell you, no
Nothing could be worse than the risk of
Losing what I don't have now
And we could buy the minute, though is it so bad
If I wanna cry out

That I would die to make you mine
Bleed me dry almost every time
But I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back a thousand times

Make me wait forever
Push me away and tell me never
But I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back a thousand times

I would come back a thousand times
I would come back a thousand times


1000 Times - Sara Bareilles

It's a really old city... Stuck between the dead and the living...

It's a really old city
Stuck between the dead and the living
So I thought to myself,
Sitting on a graveyard shelf
As the echo of heartbeats,
From the ground below my feet
Filled a cemetery
In the center of Queens

I started running the maze of
The names and the dates, some
Older than others the skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers
With Manhattan behind her, three million stunning reminders
Built a cemetery
In the center of Queens

You said, remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be chasing the sun!
So fill up your lungs and just run
But always be chasing the sun!

So how do you do it,
With just words and just music,
Capture the feeling that my earth is somebody's ceiling
Can I deliver in sound
The weight of the ground
Of a cemetery
In the center of Queens

There's a history through her
Sent to us as a gift from the future
To show us the proof
More than that, it's to dare us to move
And to open our eyes and to learn from the sky
From a cemetery
In the center of Queens

You said, remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be chasing the sun!
So fill up your lungs and just run
But always be chasing the sun!

All we can do is try
And live like we're still alive

It's a really old city
Stuck between the dead and the living
So I thought to myself
Sitting on a graveyard shelf
And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony
Played by a cemetery
in the center of Queens

You said, remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be chasing the sun!
So fill up your lungs and just run
But always be chasing the sun!

All we can do is try
And live like we're still alive

All we can do is try
And live like we're still alive

Chasing The Sun - Sara Bareilles

I hate to break it to you babe... But I'm not drowning...

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table

While I look outside

So many things I'd say if only I were able

But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man

We're all entitled to 'em

But I never asked

So let me thank you for your time

And try not to waste any more of mine

Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe

But I'm not drowning

There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me

Who made you king of anything?

So, you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything?

You sound so innocent

All full of good intent

Swear you know best

But you expect me to

Jump up onboard with you

Ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost

With no direction, oh

But you'll never see

You're so busy making masks

With my name on it in all caps

You've got the talking down

Just not the listening

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me

Who made you king of anything?

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life I've tried

To make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide

Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn

To decide

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me

Who made you king of anything?

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything?

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me

Who made you king of anything?

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe

King of Anything - Sara Bareilles

Here in this deep city lights...I'm finding every reason to be gone...

There's a harvest each Saturday night
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night and get gone
It's clear this conversation ain't doing a thing
'Cause these boys only listen to me when I sing
And I don't feel like singing tonight
All the same songs

Here in this deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?

The situation's always the same
You got your wolves in their clothes whispering
Hollywood's name
Stealing gold from the silver they see
But it's not me

Here in this deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?

Calling out somebody save me I feel like I'm fading away.
Am I gone?
Calling out somebody save me I feel like I'm fading...

... Deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold on to... you?

City - Sara Bareilles

You're neither friend nor foe...I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity...

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
Just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone.

Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
Just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

I live here on my knees as
I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
Keeping me down...
You're on to me, on to me, and all over...
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
