London Boy lyrics

We can go driving in, on my scooter

Uh, you know, just 'round London

Alright, yeah

I love my hometown as much as Motown, I love SoCal

And you know I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee whiskey

But something happened, I heard him laughing

I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent

They say home is where the heart is

But that's not where mine lives

You know I love a London boy

I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon

He likes my American smile, like a child when our eyes meet

Darling, I fancy you

Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates

So I guess all the rumors are true

You know I love a London boy

Boy, I fancy you (Ooh)

And now I love high tea, stories from Uni, and the West End

You can find me in the pub, we are watching rugby with his school friends

Show me a gray sky, a rainy cab ride

Babes, don't threaten me with a good time

They say home is where the heart is

But God, I love the English

You know I love a London boy, I enjoy nights in Brixton

Shoreditch in the afternoon

He likes my American smile, like a child when our eyes meet

Darling, I fancy you

Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates

So I guess all the rumors are true

You know I love a London boy

Boy, I fancy you

So please show me Hackney

Doesn't have to be Louis V up on Bond Street

Just wanna be with you

Wanna be with you

Stick with me, I'm your queen

Like a Tennessee Stella McCartney, on the Heath

Just wanna be with you (Wanna be with you)

Wanna be with you (Oh)

You know I love a London boy, I enjoy walking SoHo

Drinking in the afternoon (Yeah)

He likes my American smile, like a child when our eyes meet

Darling, I fancy you (You)

Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates

So I guess all the rumors are true (Yeah)

You know I love a London boy (Oh)

Boy (Oh), I fancy you (I fancy you, ooh)

So please show me Hackney

Doesn't have to be Louis V up on Bond Street

Just wanna be with you

I, I, I fancy you

Oh whoa, oh, I

Stick with me, I'm your queen

Like a Tennessee Stella McCartney, on the Heath

Just wanna be with you (Ooh)

Wanna be with you

I fancy you (Yeah), I fancy you

Oh whoa, ah

Daylight lyrics

My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in

Everyone looked worse in the light

There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven

I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you

I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you

I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night

And now I see daylight, I only see daylight

Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky

And so I became the butt of the joke

I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked

Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke

Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down

Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town

Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now

It's brighter now, now

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you

(I can never look away)

I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you

(Things will never be the same)

I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night

(Now I'm wide awake)

And now I see daylight (daylight), I only see daylight (daylight)

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

And I can still see it all (In my mind)

All of you, all of me (Intertwined)

I once believed love would be (Black and white)

But it's golden (Golden)

And I can still see it all (In my head)

Back and forth from New York (Sneaking in your bed)

I once believed love would be (Burning red)

But it's golden

Like daylight, like daylight

Like daylight, daylight

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you

(I can never look away)

I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you

(Things will never be the same)

I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night

(Now I'm wide awake)

And now I see daylight (I see daylight), I only see daylight (Ah)

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight (Ah)

(And I can still see it all)

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

(And I can still see it all, back and forth from New York)

I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

(I once believed love would be burning red)

Like daylight

It's golden like daylight

You gotta step into the daylight and let it go

Just let it go, let it go

I wanna be defined by the things that I love

Not the things I hate

Not the things that I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of

Not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night

I, I just think that

You are what you love

False God lyrics

We were crazy to think

Crazy to think that this could work

Remember how I said I'd die for you?

We were stupid to jump

In the ocean separating us

Remember how I'd fly to you?

And I can't talk to you when you're like this

Staring out the window like I'm not your favorite town

I'm New York City, I still do it for you, babe

They all warned us about times like this

They say the road gets hard and you get lost

When you're led by blind faith, blind faith

But we might just get away with it

Religion's in your lips

Even if it's a false god

We'd still worship

We might just get away with it

The altar is my hips

Even if it's a false god

We'd still worship this love

We'd still worship this love

We'd still worship this love

I know heaven's a thing

I go there when you touch me, honey

Hell is when I fight with you

But we can patch it up good

Make confessions and we're begging for forgiveness

Got the wine for you

And you can't talk to me when I'm like this

Daring you to leave me just so I can try and scare you

You're the West Village

You still do it for me, babe

They all warned us about times like this

They say the road gets hard and you get lost

When you're led by blind faith, blind faith

But we might just get away with it

Religion's in your lips

Even if it's a false god

We'd still worship

We might just get away with it

The altar is my hips

Even if it's a false god

We'd still worship this love

We'd still worship this love

We'd still worship this love, ah

Still worship this love

Even if it's a false god

Even if it's a false god

Still worship this love

I Forgot That You Existed lyrics

How many days did I spend thinking

'Bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong?

Lived in the shade you were throwing

'Til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone

And I couldn't get away from ya

In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah

Your name on my lips, tongue-tied

Free rent, living in my mind

But then something happened one magical night

I forgot that you existed

And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't

And it was so nice

So peaceful and quiet

I forgot that you existed

It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference

I forgot that you

Got out some popcorn

As soon as my rep started going down, down, down

Laughed on the school yard

As soon as I tripped up and hit the ground, ground, ground

And I would've stuck around for ya

Would've fought the whole town, so yeah

Would've been right there, front row

Even if nobody came to your show

But you showed who you are, then one magical night

I forgot that you existed

And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't

And it was so nice

So peaceful and quiet

I forgot that you existed

It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference

I forgot that you

Sent me a clear message

Taught me some hard lessons

I just forget what they were

It's all just a blur

I forgot that you existed

And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't

And it was so nice

So peaceful and quiet

I forgot that you existed

I did, I did, I did

It isn't hate, it's just indifference

It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference

So, yeah

You Need To Calm Down lyrics

You are somebody that I don't know

But you're taking shots at me like it's Patrón

And I'm just like, "Damn!

It's 7 AM"

Say it in the street, that's a knock-out

But you say it in a tweet, that's a cop-out

And I'm just like, "Hey!

Are you OK?"

And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression

But I've learned the lesson

That stressing and obsessing

'Bout somebody else is no fun

And snakes and stones never broke my bones

So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!

You need to calm down

You're being too loud

And I'm just like

"Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!

You need to just stop

Like, can you just not step on my gown?

You need to calm down"

You are somebody that we don't know

But you're coming at my friends like a missile

Why are you mad

When you could be GLAAD?

(You could be GLAAD)

Sunshine on the street at the parade

But you would rather be in the dark ages

Just making that sign

Must've taken all night

You just need to take several seats

And then try to restore the peace

And control your urges to scream

About all the people you hate

'Cause shade never made anybody less gay

So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!

You need to calm down

You're being too loud

And I'm just like

"Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!

You need to just stop

Like, can you just not step on his gown

You need to calm down"

And we see you over there on the Internet

Comparing all the girls who are killing it

But we figured you out

We all know now

We all got crowns

You need to calm down

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!

You need to calm down

(You need to calm down)

You're being too loud

(You're being too loud)

And I'm just like

"Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!

You need to just stop

(Can you stop?)

Like, can you just not step on our gowns

You need to calm down"

All Of The Girls You Loved Before lyrics

When you think of all the late nights

Lame fights over the phone

Wake up in the mornin' with someone

But feelin' alone

A heart is drawn around your name

In someone's handwriting, not mine

We're sneakin' out into town

Holdin' hands, just killin' time

Your past and mine are parallel lines

Stars all aligned and they intertwined

And taught you

The way you call me "baby"

Treat me like a lady

All that I can say is

All of the girls you loved before (Ooh)

Made you the one I've fallen for

Every dead-end street led you straight to me

Now you're all I need, I'm so thankful for

All of the girls you loved before

But I love you more

When I think of all the makeup

Fake love out on the town (Ooh)

Cryin' in the bathroom for some dude

Whose name I cannot remember now

Secret jokes all alone

No one's home, sixteen and wild (Ooh)

We're breakin' up, makin' up

Leave without sayin' goodbye (Ooh)

And just know that

It's everything that made me

Now I call you "baby"

That's why you're so amazing

All of the girls you loved before (Ooh)

Made you the one I've fallen for

Every dead-end street led you straight to me

Now you're all I need, I'm so thankful for

All of the girls you loved before

But I love you more

Your mother brought you up loyal and kind

Teenage love taught you there's good in goodbye

Every woman that you knew brought you here

I wanna teach you how forever feels like

The girls you loved before (Ooh)

Made you the one I've fallen for

Every dead-end street (Dead-end street) led you straight to me (Straight to me)

Now you're all I need (All I need), I'm so thankful for

All of the girls you loved before

But I love you more

(I love you more)

(I love you more)

State Of Grace lyrics

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights

Busy streets and busy lives

And all we know is touch and go

We are alone with our changing minds

We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds or fades in time

And I never saw you coming

And I'll never be the same

You come around and the armor falls

Pierce the room like a cannonball

Now all we know is don't let go

We are alone, just you and me

Up in your room, and our slates are clean

Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes

So you were never a saint

And I loved in shades of wrong

We learn to live with the pain

Mosaic broken hearts

But this love is brave and wild

And I never saw you coming

And I'll never be the same

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right

These are the hands of fate

You're my Achilles heel

This is the golden age of something good and right and real

And I never saw you coming

And I'll never be the same, oh

And I never saw you coming

And I'll never be the same

(So you were never a saint, and I loved in shades of wrong)

(We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts)

(But this love is brave and wild)

This is a state of grace

This is the worthwhile fight

Love is a ruthless game

Unless you play it good and right

Everything Has Changed lyrics

(You good to go?)

All I knew this morning when I woke

Is I know something now

Know something now I didn't before

And all I've seen since 18 hours ago

Is green eyes and freckles and your smile

In the back of my mind, making me feel like

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello"

And your eyes look like coming home

All I know is a simple name

Everything has changed

All I know is you held the door

You'll be mine and I'll be yours

All I know since yesterday

Is everything has changed

And all my walls stood tall, painted blue

But I'll take 'em down, take 'em down

And open up the door for you

And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies

The beautiful kind, making up for lost time

Taking flight, making me feel right

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you, know you, know you

'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello"

And your eyes look like coming home

All I know is a simple name

Everything has changed

All I know is you held the door

You'll be mine and I'll be yours

All I know since yesterday

Is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why

I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time

And meet me there tonight

And let me know that it's not all in my mind

I just wanna know you better

Know you better, know you better now

I just wanna know you, know you, know you

All I know is we said, "Hello"

And your eyes look like coming home

All I know is a simple name

Everything has changed

All I know is you held the door

And you'll be mine and I'll be yours

All I know since yesterday

Is everything has changed

All I know is we said, "Hello"

So dust off your highest hopes

All I know is pouring rain

And everything has changed

All I know is a new found grace

All my days, I'll know your face

All I know since yesterday

Is everything has changed

The Lucky One lyrics

New to town with a made up name

In the angel's city, chasing fortune and fame

And the camera flashes make it look like a dream

You had it figured out since you were in school

Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool

So overnight, you look like a sixties queen

Another name goes up in lights

Like diamonds in the sky

And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

But can you tell me now, you're the lucky one?

Oh, oh, oh

Now, it's big black cars and Riviera views

And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you

And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page

And they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused

'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used

And all the young things line up to take your place

Another name goes up in lights

You wonder if you'll make it out alive

And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

But can you tell me now, you're the lucky one?

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

It was a few years later, I showed up here

And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared

How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out

They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere

Chose the rose garden over Madison Square

And it took some time, but I understand it now

'Cause now my name is up in lights

But I think you got it right

Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one

Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one

Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh

Girl At Home lyrics

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that, ah-ah

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that

I don't even know her

But I feel a responsibility

To do what's upstanding and right

It's kinda like a code, yeah

And you've been getting closer and closer

And crossing so many lines

And it would be a fine proposition

If I was a stupid girl

But, honey, I am no one's exception

This, I have previously learned

So don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that, ah-ah

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

I see you turn off your phone

And now you've got me alone, and I say

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

I just wanna make sure

You understand perfectly

You're the kind of man who makes me sad

While she waits up

You chase down the newest thing

And take for granted what you have

And it would be a fine proposition

If I was a stupid girl

And, yeah, I might go with it

If I hadn't once been just like her

So don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that, ah-ah

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

I see you turn off your phone

And now you've got me alone, and I say

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Call a cab, lose my number

You're about to lose your girl

Call a cab, lose my number

Let's consider this lesson learned

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that, ah-ah

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

Wanna see you pick up your phone

And tell her you're coming home

Don't look at me, you got a girl at home

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that

It would be a fine proposition

If I hadn't once been just like her

Lyrics for the songs under the cut <3

Holy Ground lyrics

I was reminiscing just the other day

While having coffee all alone

And Lord it took me away

Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time

Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme

Took off faster than a green light, go

Yeah you skip the conversation when you already know

I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made

And that was the first day

And darling it was good

Never looking down

And right there where we stood

Was holy ground

Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress

We had this big wide city all to ourselves

We block the noise with the sound of, "I need you"

And for the first time I had something to lose

And I guess we fell apart in the usual way

And the story's got dust on every page

But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now

And I see your face in every crowd

'Cause darling, it was good

Never looking down

And right there where we stood

Was holy ground

Tonight, I'm gonna dance

For all that we've been through

But I don't wanna dance

If I'm not dancing with you

Tonight, I'm gonna dance

Like you were in this room

But I don't wanna dance

If I'm not dancing with you

It was good

Never looking down

And right there where we stood

Was holy ground

Tonight, I'm gonna dance

For all that we've been through

But I don't wanna dance

If I'm not dancing with you

Tonight, I'm gonna dance

Like you were in this room

But I don't wanna dance

If I'm not dancing with you

Message In A Bottle lyrics

I know that you like me

And it's kinda frightening

Standing here waiting, waiting

And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes

Tongue tied

But, now, you're so far away and I'm down

Feeling like a face in the crowd

I'm reaching for you, terrified

'Cause you could be the one that I love

I could be the one that you dream of

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

You could be the one that I keep

And I could be the reason you can't sleep at night

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

These days I'm restless

Workdays are endless

Look how you made me, made me

But time moves faster

Replaying your laughter

Disaster

'Cause, now, you're so far away and I'm down

Feeling like a face in the crowd

I'm reaching for you, terrified

'Cause you could be the one that I love

And I could be the one that you dream of

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

You could be the one that I keep

And I could be the reason you can't sleep at night

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

How is it in London? (London)

Where were you while I'm wondering (Wondering)

If I'll ever see you again?

You could be the one that I love

And, now, I'm standing here hoping it gets to you

'Cause you could be the one that I love

I could be the one that you dream of

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

You could be the one that I keep

And I could be the reason you can't sleep at night

A message in a bottle is all I can do

Standing here hoping it gets to you

You could be the one that I love

You could be the one that I love

My love

And, now, I'm standing here hoping this gets to you

Treacherous lyrics

Put your lips close to mine

As long as they don't touch

Out of focus, eye to eye

Till the gravity's too much

And I'll do anything you say

If you say it with your hands

And I'd be smart to walk away

But you're quicksand

This slope is treacherous

This path is reckless

This slope is treacherous

And I, I, I like it

I can't decide if it's a choice

Getting swept away

I hear the sound of my own voice

Asking you to stay

All we are is skin and bone

Trained to get along

Forever going with the flow

But you're friction

This slope is treacherous

This path is reckless

This slope is treacherous

I, I, I like it

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will

Get you a, get you alone

Your name has echoed through my mind and I just

Think you should, think you should know

That nothing safe is worth the drive and I would

Follow you, follow you home

I'll follow you, follow you home

This hope is treacherous

This daydream is dangerous

This hope is treacherous

I, I, I

I, I, I

I, I, I

Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will

Get you a, get you alone

Your name has echoed through my mind and I just

Think you should, think you should know

That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will

Follow you, follow you home

I'll follow you, follow you home

I'll follow you, follow you home

I'll follow you, follow you home

This slope is treacherous

I, I, I like it

Come Back...Be Here lyrics

You said it in a simple way

4 AM, the second day

How strange that I don't know you at all

Stumbled through the long goodbye

One last kiss, then catch your flight

Right when I was just about to fall

I told myself, don't get attached

But in my mind, I play it back

Spinning faster than the plane that took you

And this is when the feeling sinks in

I don't wanna miss you like this

Come back, be here, come back, be here

I guess you're in New York today

I don't wanna need you this way

Come back, be here, come back, be here

The delicate beginning rush

The feeling you can know so much

Without knowing anything at all

And now that I can put this down

If I had known what I know now

I never would've played so nonchalant

Taxi cabs and busy streets

That never bring you back to me

I can't help but wish you took me with you

And this is when the feeling sinks in

I don't wanna miss you like this

Come back, be here, come back, be here

I guess you're in London today

And I don't wanna need you this way

Come back, be here, come back, be here

This is falling in love in the cruellest way

This is falling for you when you are worlds away

In New York, be here

But you're in London, and I break down

'Cause it's not fair that you're not around

This is when the feeling sinks in

I don't wanna miss you like this

Come back, be here, come back, be here

I guess you're in New York today

And I don't wanna need you this way

Come back, be here, come back, be here

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I don't wanna miss you like this

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Come back, be here

Stay Stay Stay lyrics

I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night

I threw my phone across the room at you

I was expecting some dramatic turn away but you stayed

This morning I said we should talk about it

'Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved

That's when you came in wearing a football helmet and said, "Ok, let's talk"

And I said

Stay, stay, stay

I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time

You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad

But I think that it's best if we both stay

Before you I'd only dated self-indulgent takers

Who took all of their problems out on me

But you carry my groceries and now I'm always laughing

And I love you because you have given me no choice but to

Stay, stay, stay

I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time

You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad

But I think that it's best if we both stay

Stay, stay, stay, stay

You took the time to memorize me

My fears, my hopes and dreams

I just like hanging out with you

All the time

All those times that you didn't leave

It's been occurring to me

I'd like to hang out with you

For my whole life

Stay

And I'll be loving you for quite some time

No one else is gonna love me when I get mad, mad, mad

So I think that it's best if we both stay

Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

Stay, stay, stay

I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time

You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad

But I think that it's best if we both stay

Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

Stay, stay, stay

I've been loving you for quite some time, time, time

You think that it's funny when I'm mad, mad, mad

But I think that it's best if we both stay

That's so fun

I Almost Do lyrics

I bet this time of night you're still up

I bet you're tired from a long hard week

I bet you're sittin' in your chair by the window

Looking out at the city and I bet

Sometimes you wonder 'bout me

And I just want to tell you

It takes everything in me

Not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't

I almost do

I almost do

I bet you think I either moved on or hate you

'Cause each time you reach out, there's no reply

I bet it never, ever occurred to you

That I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye

And I just want to tell you

It takes everything in me

Not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't

I almost do, I almost do

Oh, we made quite a mess, babe

It's probably better off this way

And I confess, baby

In my dreams you're touching my face

And asking me if I'd want to try again with you

And I almost do

And I just want to tell you

It takes everything in me

Not to call you

And I wish I could run to you

And I hope you know that

Every time I don't

I almost do, I almost do

I bet this time of night you're still up

I bet you're tired from a long hard week

I bet you're sittin' in your chair by the window

Looking out at the city and I hope

Sometimes you wonder 'bout me

Run lyrics

One, two, three, four

Give me the keys, I'll bring the car back around

We shouldn't be in this town

And my so-called friends, they don't know

I'd drive away before I let you go

So give me a reason and don't say no, no

There's a chain 'round your throat, piece of paper where I wrote

"I'll wait for you"

There's a key on the chain, there's a picture in a frame

Take it with you

And run, like you'd run from the law

Darling, let's run

Run from it all

We can go where our eyes can take us

Go where no one else is, run

Ooh, we'll run

Ooh, we'll run

Ooh, we'll run

So you laugh like a child

And I'll sing like no one cares

No one to be, no one to tell

I could see this view a hundred times

Pale blue sky reflected in your eyes

So give me a reason and don't say no, no

And the note from the locket, you keep it in your pocket

Since I gave it to you

There's a heart on your sleeve

I'll take it when I leave

And hold it for you

And run, like you'd run from the law

Darling, let's run

Run from it all

We can go like they're trying to chase us

Go where no one else is, run

Ooh, we'll run

Ooh, we'll run

Ooh, we'll run

There's been this hole in my heart

This thing was a shot in the dark

Say you'll never let 'em tear us apart

And I'll hold onto you while we run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Like you'd run from the law (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Darling, let's run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Run from it all (And we run, and we run, and we run)

We can go where our eyes can take us (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Go where no one else is, run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Ooh, we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Ooh, we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Ooh, we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)

Ooh, and we'll run

I Knew You Were Trouble lyrics

Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago

I was in your sights, you got me alone

You found me, you found me, you found me

I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that

And when I fell hard, you took a step back

Without me, without me, without me

And he's long gone when he's next to me

And I realize the blame is on me

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

'Til you put me down, oh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies, he'll never see you cry

Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why

You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning

And I heard you moved on from whispers on the street

A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be

And now I see, now I see, now I see

He was long gone when he met me

And I realize the joke is on me, hey

I knew you were trouble when you walked in (Oh)

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

'Til you put me down, oh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been (Yeah)

Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh-oh (Yeah)

Trouble, trouble, trouble (Trouble)

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble

And the saddest fear

Comes creeping in

That you never loved me

Or her, or anyone, or anything

Yeah

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been (Never been)

'Til you put me down, oh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in (Knew it right there)

So shame on me now (Knew it right there)

Flew me to places I'd never been (Ooh)

Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble (Oh)

Oh, oh-oh

Trouble, trouble, trouble (Trouble)

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

Trouble, trouble, trouble

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Something I still struggle to decipher my own meaning of is the tracklist of TTPD having So Long London (which to me seems to be The Break Up of the relationship represented by London) as track five but then we have the Breaking Out songs (BDILH, Fresh Out The Slammer, Florida) but then we have Guilty As Sin? which narratively seems to be set while she is still in the London relationship???

Does anyone have any thoughts???

Lyrics for the songs under the cut <3

Babe lyrics

What about your promises, promises?

What about your promises, promises, promises? (No)

What a shame

Didn't wanna be the one that got away, yeah

Big mistake, you broke the sweetest promise

That you never should have made

I'm here on the kitchen floor

You call, but I won't hear it

You said, "No one else"

How could you do this, babe? (What about your promises, promises?)

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

(What about your promises, promises, promises?)

What a waste

Takin' down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah

And it's strange how your face doesn't look so innocent

Your secret has its consequence and that's on you, babe

I break down every time you call

We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball

We said, "No one else"

How could you do this, babe? (What about your promises, promises?)

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you

Since you admitted it, I keep picturing

Her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it

I hate that because of you, I can't love you, babe

What a shame didn't want to be the one that got away

How could you do this, babe?

You really blew this, babe

We ain't getting through this one, babe

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe (This is the last time, this is the last time)

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

I'm here on the kitchen floor, you call but I won't hear it

You said, "No one else"

We ain't getting through this one, babe

I break down every time you call

We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball

You said, "No one else"

This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe

What about your promises, promises?

The Very First Night lyrics

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

And so it goes

Every weekend, this same party

I never go alone and I don't seem brokenhearted

My friends all say they know everything I'm going through

I drive down different roads

But they all lead back to you

'Cause they don't know about the night in the hotel

They weren't riding in the car when we both fell

Didn't read the note on the Polaroid picture

They don't know how much I miss you

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

And so it was

We never saw it coming

Not trying to fall in love

But we did like children running

Back then we didn't know we were built to fall apart

We broke the status quo, then we broke each other's hearts

But don't forget about the night out in LA

Danced in the kitchen, chased me down through the hallway

No one knows about the words that we whispered

No one knows how much I miss you

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

I remember the night at the hotel

I was riding in the car when we both fell

I'm the one on the phone as you whisper

"Do you know how much I miss you?"

I wish that we could go back in time

And I'd say to you

"I miss you like it was the very first night"

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

Lyrics for the songs under the cut <3

Begin Again lyrics

Took a deep breath in the mirror

He didn't like it when I wore high heels, but I do

Turn the lock and put my headphones on

He always said he didn't get this song, but I do, I do

I walked in expecting you'd be late

But you got here early and you stand and wave

I walk to you

You pull my chair out and help me in

And you don't know how nice that is, but I do

And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl who

Had as many James Taylor records as you, but I do

We tell stories and you don't know why

I'm coming off a little shy, but I do

But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

And we walked down the block to my car

And I almost brought him up

But you start to talk about the movies

That your family watches every single Christmas

And I wanna talk about that

And for the first time, what's past is past

'Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

All Too Well lyrics

I walked through the door with you

The air was cold

But something 'bout it felt like home somehow and I

Left my scarf there at your sister's house

And you've still got it in your drawer even now

Oh, your sweet disposition

And my wide-eyed gaze

We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

And I can picture it after all these days

And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more

And I might be okay but I'm not fine at all, oh-oh-oh

'Cause there we are again on that

Little town street

You almost ran the red 'cause you were

Looking over at me

Wind in my hair, I was there

I remember it all too well

Photo album on the counter

Your cheeks were turning red

You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed

And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee ball team

You taught me about your past, thinking your future was me

And I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do

And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to

'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night

We're dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light

Down the stairs, I was there

I remember it all too well, yeah

And maybe we got lost in translation

Maybe I asked for too much

But maybe this thing was a masterpiece

Till you tore it all up

Running scared, I was there

I remember it all too well

And you call me up again

Just to break me like a promise

So casually cruel in the name of being honest

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here

'Cause I remember it all, all, all too well

Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it

I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it

After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own

Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone

But you keep my old scarf from that very first week

'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me

You can't get rid of it

'Cause you remember it all too well

'Cause there we are again when I loved you so

Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known

It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well

Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all

Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all

It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well

Death By A Thousand Cuts lyrics

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

Flashbacks waking me up

I get drunk, but it's not enough

'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier's still flickering here

'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

It's death by a thousand cuts

I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home

I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright

They say, "I don't know"

And what once was ours is no one's now

I see you everywhere, the only thing we share

Is this small town

You said it was a great love, one for the ages

But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?

'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

Flashbacks waking me up

I get drunk, but it's not enough

'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier's still flickering here

'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

It's death by a thousand cuts

My heart, my hips, my body, my love

Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch

Gave up on me like I was a bad drug

Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club

Our songs, our films, united we stand

Our country, guess it was a lawless land

Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand

Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans

My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust

Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up

Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough

But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts

I get drunk, but it's not enough

'Cause you're not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier's still flickering here

'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not

No, it's not

It's death by a thousand cuts (You didn't touch)

Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch

My body, my love, my trust (It's death by a thousand cuts)

But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no

I take the long way home

I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright

They say, "I don't know"

The Man lyrics

I would be complex, I would be cool

They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to

And that would be okay for me to do

Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you

I'd be a fearless leader

I'd be an alpha type

When everyone believes ya

What's that like?

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again

'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man

I'd be the man

I'd be the man

They'd say I hustled, put in the work

They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve

What I was wearing, if I was rude

Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves

And they would toast to me, oh, let the players play

I'd be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again

'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man

I'd be the man

I'd be the man

What's it like to brag about raking in dollars

And getting bitches and models?

And it's all good if you're bad

And it's okay if you're mad

If I was out flashing my dollars

I'd be a bitch, not a baller

They'd paint me out to be bad

So, it's okay that I'm mad

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (You know that)

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (Coming at me again)

'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man)

Then I'd be the man (Then I'd be the man)

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can (As fast as I can)

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (Hey)

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (Coming at me again)

'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man), then I'd be the man

I'd be the man

I'd be the man (Oh)

I'd be the man (Yeah)

I'd be the man (I'd be the man)

If I was a man, then I'd be the man
