Dreamer

you know this is all new to me
I’m taking it all in with the air I breathe
I dive in the unknown, I don’t have the key
to whatever door this is, won’t you open for me?
I can take care of myself, I know
but from time to time I am afraid to grow
aah aah aah aah waking up the dreamer inside
aah aah aah aah waking up the dreamer inside
aah aah aah aah I can feel her opening her eyes
aah aah aah aah waking up the dreamer
I’m stronger than I’ve ever known
this body ‘round my mind starts to feel like home
love is flowing through my legs, my cheeks, my nose
bringing back the heat to the dreams I froze
I can take care of myself, you know me
but from time to time I need you here with me
aah aah aah aah waking up the dreamer inside
aah aah aah aah waking up the dreamer inside
aah aah aah aah I can feel her opening her eyes
aah aah aah aah waking up the dreamer
aah aah aah aah waking up the dreamer
aah aah aah aah waking up

I used to
used to count the
things I didn't say
from now on
only counting
beautiful mistakes
ooh ooh ooh ooh
do you know
sometimes I can't control my mind
and do you know
when I try to breathe it just gets in the way like
you're never gonna get this right
you're never gonna make it happen
you're never gonna win this fight
you're never gonna make it happen
you're never gonna get this right
you're never gonna make it happen
you're never gonna win this fight
I used to
used to count the
things I didn't say
from now on
only counting
beautiful mistakes
ooh ooh ooh ooh
do you know
the feeling of a busy crowd
inside your head
when you try to breathe but it gets in the way like
you're never gonna get this right
you're never gonna make it happen
you're never gonna win this fight
you're never gonna make it happen
you're never gonna get this right
you're never gonna make it happen
you're never gonna win this fight
I used to
used to count the
things I didn't say
from now on
only counting
beautiful mistakes
ooh ooh ooh ooh
feels like a busy crowd in my head
sounds like a busy crowd in my head
feels like a busy crowd in my head
sounds like a busy crowd in my head
feels like a busy crowd in my head
sounds like a busy crowd in my head
feels like a busy crowd in my head
it just gets in the way but
I used to
used to count the
things I didn't say
from now on
only counting
beautiful mistakes
ooh ooh ooh ooh

Thanks

okay
the universe took you away
we’re left behind with nothing to say
and the songs you used to play
the songs you used to play
allright
the ripples in the water spread wide
when one drop’s in control of the tide
so let’s celebrate tonight
let’s celebrate tonight
it got me messed up
why do I feel like I have the time
so much time
all the days I used up
unaware of time passing by
‘cause you took one for the team and now I see
that nothing’s here to last eternally
it really shook the earth beneath my feet
but thanks for helping me see
thanks for helping me see
I’m so
thankful for this body I own
thankful that it serves as my home
I feel it even more
I feel it even more
it got me messed up
I’ve redefined what’s wrong and what’s right
day and night
thought I was stressed but
now I know I’m doing allright
‘Cause you took one for the team and now I see
that nothing’s here to last eternally
it really shook the earth beneath my feet
but thanks for helping me see
thanks for helping me see
come let it wash over me
come let it wash over me
come let it wash over me
come let it wash over me
come let it wash over me
come let it wash over me
come let it wash over me
come let it wash over me
‘cause you took one for the team
and now I see
that nothing’s here to last eternally
it really shook the earth beneath my feet
but thanks for helping me see
thanks for helping me see
‘cause you took one for the team
and now I see
that nothing’s here to last eternally
it really shook the earth beneath my feet
but thanks for helping me see
thanks for helping me see
thanks for helping me see

Free
03:11

|
communication is hard
I’ve seen you practice for 20 years
and when there’s a bump in the road
I just cover, cover, cover my ears
it’s fascinating to see
this rollercoaster goes up and down
but you two never get off
never touching, touching, touching the ground
but can’t you walk away from this battlefield
can you drop the sword, can you drop the shield
can you speak the truth ‘bout the way you feel
and heal?
it might just set you free, yeah
don’t you wanna be, don’t you wanna be
free, yeah
can you try for me, yeah
don’t you wanna be, don’t you wanna be free
free, yeah
and what annoys me the most
I can’t stay mad ‘cause you mean so well
but when you’re a little bit lost
means I’m losing, losing, losing aswell
but can’t you step away from this battlefield
can you drop the sword, can you drop the shield
can you open up ‘bout the way you feel
for real?
it might just set you free, yeah
don’t you wanna be, don’t you wanna be
free, yeah
can you try for me, yeah
don’t you wanna be, don’t you wanna be free
free, yeah
don’t you wanna be, don’t you wanna be
free, yeah
can you try for me, yeah
don’t you wanna be, don’t you wanna be free
free, yeah
don’t you wanna be, don’t you wanna be free
free, yeah

Smile

I don’t even know who I am
and here you are telling me to change
I don’t even know what I want
and there you go taking it away
don’t you know I have no interest in running this race
I’ll go my own pace
‘cause I’d rather do this slowly
I don’t wanna hear, I don’t wanna hear all your opinions
no I don’t wanna hear what you have to say
oh, I don’t wanna hear, wanna make it clear
all of your words are not gonna make me change
so I’m gonna smile
I’m just gonna smile
I used to pick up every word
and carefully store it in my head
but it was such a heavy load, weighing on my bones, I thought I might implode
felt like I really lost what I once loved to do the most so now I’m through with that
so, I don’t need advice, I just need to declutter my mind
some space and some time
‘cause I’d rather do this slowly
I don’t wanna hear, I don’t wanna hear all your opinions
No I don’t wanna hear what you have to say
Oh, I don’t wanna hear, wanna make it clear
all of your words are not gonna make me change
so I’m gonna smile
I’m just gonna smile
so I’m gonna smile
I’m just gonna smile
I’m just gonna smile for you
I’m just gonna smile for you
I’m just gonna smile
‘cause I’d rather do this slowly
