Fly high in a blue sky
Fly high in a blue sky

Find light in a beautiful cage,
I fake-smile wide
Staring through the bars,
I stare at a giant blue sky.

I find I'm shackled here
By champagne and ivory lines.
But I wish to fly,
Fly high in a blue sky.

I know that I'll be there
Someday
In some way.

Heaven glows there just for me
I see that it's my destiny!

So take flight,
Tonight,
Into the night.
When the sun comes up,
I'll be in high in a blue sky.

Through the air,
Where it's clear,
And no one's there,
When the sun comes up,
I'll be high in a blue sky.

Stars point in the way I go,
As I steer on a dark drive
Through the window I find
The darkness's almost a blue sky

I find I'm shackled here
By gravity and human life
But I wish to fly,
Fly high in a blue sky.

I know that I'll be there
Someday
I see that it's my destiny!

So take flight,
Tonight,
Into the night.
When the sun comes up,
I'll be in high in a blue sky.

Through the air,
Where it's clear,
And no one's there,
When the sun comes up,
I'll be high in a blue sky.

High in a blue sky,
High in a blue sky,
High up in a blue sky.

So take flight,
Tonight,
Into the night.
When the sun comes up,
I'll be in high in a blue sky.

Through the air,
Where it's clear,
And no one's there,
When the sun comes up,
I'll be high in a blue sky.

High in a blue sky
High in a blue sky
High in a blue sky
Oh yeah

High in a blue sky
High up in a blue sky
High in a blue sky
High up in a blue sky

Baby why you hit me up
At three am?
Greet me with a lazy sup
And break my heart

Oh
Darling did you think this through
Darling didn't you know I'd miss you

And for all this time
I thought we'd still be in love
All this time
I thought we'd never be done

But life carries on

And now I can do things
I couldn't do before
I can pick my nose
And slam the door
You may not be here
But I still can breathe
You may not be near
But I am still me

So I'm dancin' on my own!
(Foxtrot, jive, samba)
And I know more than I've ever known
(Charleston, swing, salsa)
See me dancin' on my own
(Foxtrot, jive, samba)
My heartbreak has made me grown
(Charleston, swing, salsa)

And baby!
I'm puttin' you in a corner
And baby!
I ain't gonna be a mourner
When sunrise come knockin' on my door
Baby, you won't be on my mind anymore

Got my mind on an electric buzz
Got me drunk on a dizzyin' high
I'm spinning dusk to dawn
And I'll forget we'd ever said hi

So I'm dancin' on my own!
(Foxtrot, jive, samba)
And I know more than I've ever known
(Charleston, swing, salsa)
See me dancin' on my own
(Foxtrot, jive, samba)
My heartbreak has made me grown
(Charleston, swing, salsa)

And baby!
I'm puttin' you in a corner
And baby!
I ain't gonna be a mourner
When sunrise come knockin' on my door
Baby, you won't be on my mind anymore

Oh, anymore

Baby you took my heart
Ripped it apart
And I'm just pickin' up the parts
Part of me wishin' that we'll be together
Another part knowing that we shall never speak again

But now you can do things
That you want to do
Hit up that girl
You'd always talk to
Hope she eat you well
Like I use to
Hope she is just as good
As I was to you

Still, I'm dancin' on my own!
(Foxtrot, jive, samba)
And I know more than I've ever known
(Charleston, swing, salsa)
See me dancin' on my own
(Foxtrot, jive, samba)
My heartbreak has made me grown
(Charleston, swing, salsa)

And baby!
I'm puttin' you in a corner
And baby!
I ain't gonna be a mourner
When sunrise come knockin' on my door
Baby, you won't be on my mind anymore

If I say “I love you”,
Will you leave me behind?
What will you do
When I use a pick-up line?

I know I’m cheesy
On my spread
And I seem so needy
When we’re in bed.

But if you’re down
I can be your girl
If you wanna be around
I can give it a whirl

I know that I seem like a *****
But I’ve always been ignored

If you let me come closer,
I promise I won’t let you down.
If you excuse my composer,
I swear you won’t be let down.
(Down)

La la la la la
(Let let let you down)
La la la la la
(Let let let you down)

My story is sadly
Seldom told;
A girl who’s lonely
Living in a gray world.

And every evening
When she’s deep in woe
She takes some comfort
With some guy she doesn’t know.

With the sun
She sees the same scene:
He’s already gone
By seven-fifteen
Now I’m falling for another man
Tell me it won’t happen again.

If you let me come closer,
I promise I won’t let you down.
(I won’t let let let)
If you excuse my composer,
I swear you won’t be let down.
(Down)

If you let me come closer,
I promise I won’t let you down.
If you excuse my composer,
I swear you won’t be let down.
(Down)

La la la la la
(Let let let you down)
La la la la la
(Let let let you down)

I can’t believe that I discovered you
I feel I’m on a a a high
So,
If you feel that our bond isn’t true
I’m going to cry cry cry

If you let me come closer,
I promise I won’t let you down.
(I won’t won’t won’t)
If you excuse my composer,
I swear you won’t be let down.
(Down)

La la la la la
(Let let let you down)
La la la la la
(Let let let you down)
La la la la la
(Let you down)
La la la la la
(Let you let you let you down)

Falling (I won't fall in)
Falling (I won't fall in)
I won't fall in
Won't fall in
Falling (I won't fall in)
Falling (I won't fall in)
I won't fall

Don't try to call my phone (I won't fall)
All you'll hear is a tone. (I won't fall)
And boy, you should've known. (I won't fall in)
I don't even need you.

Me and my squad we're fine just with us.
We need no sod to make sure we don't fuss.
Kiss my ****
I've heard enough.
I ain't messing with you.
I ain't messing, messing

Champagne glass,
Hold it at your side.
Splash it in his face.
Leave him to abide,
Abide.
Splash it in his face.
I don't even need you.

I won't fall in
I won't fall in
(No) I won't fall in
Ah hell naw!
I won't fall in
I won't fall in
Ah hell naw!

First you said I was needy,
Now you call me greedy.
Once you said I was lying,
But now you come to me crying,
And I give no craps about it
Not just because I doubt it
It's exactly what you've done
So accept that you'll get none.

I don't even need you (You'll get none)
I don't even need you
I don't even need you
I don't even need you
So *******!

Waiting at our table for our small date,
Wondering if you're able to set yourself straight.
You've always got some ******* answer.
I hope that someday you'll get some candor.

In our lonely bedroom,
I've left a box from before our doom,
My ex-groom.
But I am ******* nobody.
Pour a glass for our life
In the land of dreaming
Where I am your loving wife.
If you could've stopped scheming,
I would still be at your side.

Our hopes are now guileful (guileful)
And our memories are painful (painful)
But now its source is unplugged (unplugged)
And I feel even more loved.

You only need me as an alibi.
Now all you've got is a goodbye. (goodbye, goodbye)

All you've got is a goodbye.

Fiery
Lady
She is brighter than the sun
Hotter 'cause she knows what she wants
Don't need men to get things done
'Cause fiery ladies are savants.

Try to harass her
She'll spit back flame
Call her a slur
She'll leave you with shame

No one can invade her
Without being scorched
She will never deter
'Cause she's a

Of fiery ladies;

Tests from Hades
But ladies don't care,

Darling let's have a scandal
Won't you do it with me?
It may be hard to handle,
But I swear no one will see.

And if you like it, let's have fun
I'll give it, I promise.
I know you ain't a rich one
But love isn't pompous.

A little bit dangerous,
A little bit adventurous,
We won't have a huge show,
Just love me right Romeo.

Carry me gently
Like I'm a candle
And let's have a scandal
Scandal
Little scandal

Seeing you
And your hands in my hair
Makes me feel this's true
And happy ending's near.

But the sun is coming
And our time is ending
So you want this forbidden fruit
Go ahead and bite it
Since this meet-cute's
Time will meet its limit.

A little bit dangerous,
A little bit adventurous,
We won't have a huge show,
Just love me right Romeo.

Carry me gently
Like I'm a candle
And let's have a scandal
Scandal
Little scandal

A little bit dangerous,
A little bit adventurous,
We won't have a huge show,
Just love me right Romeo.

Carry me gently
Like I'm a candle
And let's have a scandal
Scandal
Little scandal

You can be my Antony
And I'll be your Cleo.
Our affair's ending
But memories don't have to though-

A little controversy
A little tale that's messy
Another Reynolds Pamphlet
That'll make me a reject
Still let's kiss tonight
Tomorrow will be our fight,

And let's have a scandal
Scandal
Little scandal

A little bit dangerous,
A little bit adventurous,
We won't have a huge show,
Just love me right Romeo.

Carry me gently
Like I'm a candle
And let's have a scandal

Wash away those tears
It’s the Start of The End
Grab some of your peers
Have some laughs and some beers

Hold your head up high
It’s the Start of The End
Keep both your cheeks dry
And get ready to fly

How could we not see our days are done?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

How could we not see we haven’t won?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

Wash away those tears
It’s the Start of The End
Grab some of your peers
Have some laughs and some beers

Hold your head up high
It’s the Start of The End
Keep both your cheeks dry
And get ready to fly

Honey stop crying
It’s the Start of the End
I think it’s purifying
Think it’s gratifying

Babe put on a grin
It’s the Start of the End
Even when it’s "fin"
Keep it over your chin

Why we miss the writing on the wall?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

Why does the news right just now appall?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

Wash away those tears
It’s the Start of The End
Grab some of your peers
Have some laughs and some beers

Hold your head up high
It’s the Start of The End
Keep both your cheeks dry
And get ready to fly

How could we not see our days are done?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

How could we not see we haven’t won?
How could we not see past
The fire?
The fire

How could we all disappear?
How could the end be near?
It’s hasn’t been long enough

How could our cities just stop?
How could we all just drop?
I thought it was all a bluff

Wash away those tears
It’s the Start of The End
We're gonna meet again
We’ve gotta meet again
We’ve got to meet again
We’ve got to meet again
We’ve got to meet again
We’ve got to meet -

Streetlamps pass by my windowpane
As the wheels turn, so does the day
I feel the weariness creep onto my brain
My eyes watch the sky as it turns gray

Back at the tracks I worked myself out
Blisters tore into my soles and soul
But I know when I reach the end of the route
My life will soon again be caught in my control

Because I know that my darling will be waiting there
And we'll both have a life just for us

She's gonna meet me, gonna kiss me from my head to my neck
She's gonna see me, gonna greet me with a ***** peck
And then we'll come home to our children at the time of the stars
Somehow I will get there by trains, planes, or cars

No matter how strong the wind may be
No matter the deadliness of the sun
I'll walk and wait throughout the barren country
Just so I can be with my loved one

Because I know she'll be standing, looking fair
And she'll embrace me at the stop of the bus

She's gonna meet me, gonna kiss me from my head to my neck
She's gonna see me, gonna greet me with a ***** peck
And then we'll come home to our children at the time of the stars
Somehow I will get there by trains, planes, or cars

The wind is growing colder now
It's been hours since I've been indoors
My toes are stiffer than I would allow
I don't think they'll again touch my home's floors

As hunger and sleep dominate my sides
I see my sweetie still waiting alone
The visions push me and become my guides
Because my unfortunate days are agone

She's gonna meet me, gonna kiss me from my head to my neck
She's gonna see me, gonna greet me with a ***** peck
And then we'll come home to our children at the time of the stars
Somehow I will get there by trains, planes, or cars

This city shines with gold
The streets are crowded and old.
Everywhere you turn
A star has once stood.
Livin' near Tinsletown
Are people whose lucks are down
And they spurn
The names on Hollywood.

Envy bites at them deeply
As they live very cheaply
All alone,
Dreaming meekly.
Once awhile they go to a studio
Where they hope to be on a show
And the phone
Will let them know.

But most times
Disappointment rears its ugly head.
And the hopeful people
Hear this sound instead:

You're turned away.
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away
(Woah-oh-oh)
Turn away

You're turned away.
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away
(Woah-oh-oh)
Turn away

Getting your name out there
Is harder than it appears
When others are
Doing it too.
And for people born with privledge
Fame is easily given.
Others are barred
From "dreams come true".

Crossing fingers give hope,
And praying can help you cope,
But actual success will
Never come that way.
Make sure you look thin and pretty
Or willing to act mean and petty
'Cause sometimes skill
Doesn't count at the end of the day.

Even with those requirements
Someone has them more.
They're better, smarter, prettier
While you're shown out the door.

You're turned away.
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away
(Woah-oh-oh)
Turn away

You're turned away.
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away

Mama, it's your kid
I want to come back home.
LA's days are scorching,
Its nights' cold to the bone.
I'm lost in my direction
And have nowhere to go.
I fit no one's satisfaction
And I've hit lowest low.
So come save me from my depression.
Who knew such hardship would come from an entitled profession?

You're turned away.
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away
Turn away

I remember,
You and me,
We were happy
Living freely
Our visions tinted by rose-gold.

We were going
Real slow
On the coaster of life
Don't you know
I wanted to together grow old,

But a voice began to chime,
I advanced too far,
You're still on the side bar.
Like lyrics that don't rhyme.

Wish you were here
At my side;
That our friendship survived
But I gotta let go,
You know,
I'm a kid no more.

Wish you were here
'Stead of far away,
Prob'ly wasting your day
But I can not cry,
"Goodbye,
Hope that you're done for."

Care to give me a call?
Care to write to my address?
You're most likely partying,
If I had to guess.
I just hope that,
I reach you.

Perhaps empathy's
Not beneath you.
And perhaps,
I was too offended
So our bond
Can be mended
And we can just forget this.

But a voice begins to croon,
I advanced too far,
You're still on the side bar,
Like singers out of tune.

Wish you were here
At my side;
That our friendship survived
But I gotta let go,
You know,
I'm a kid no more.

Wish you were here
'Stead of far away,
Prob'ly wasting your day
But I can not cry,
"Goodbye,
Hope that you're done for."

Oh, I wish I could just be happy,
And you would stand by me
Like we were meant to be.

Wish you were here
At my side;
That our friendship survived
But I gotta let go,
You know,
I'm a kid no more.

Wish you were here
'Stead of far away,
Prob'ly wasting your day
But I can not cry,
"Goodbye,
Hope that you're done for."

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

But I gotta let go,
You know,
I'm a kid
No more.
This song is actually not about love. It's about an ill-fated friendship I had with a person in college. They were nice, but I felt that they were too much of a slacker for me.

I'm at the bar
Drinking all alone
Cuz the club
Just isn't my tone.

I get my drink
And you walked in
With your hair slicked
Asking for gin.

Ten shots later,
I'm calling you baby
Asking if maybe
You'd like to come home.
Really I'm lonely,
You don't seem unwilling,
So maybe we can bone.

Let's not go too fast,
Let's fumble neath the covers,
Put your body on me.
I cannot last
But let's act like lovers
Pretend I'm hotter than what you see.
And when the sun rises
Please don't quickly go
Cause I don't want to be left
With your shadow
(Woah woah woah)

Now the sky brightened
Other side is empty
And you are not there.
The bed has lightened
It's almost eight-twenty
In the exit I see your hair.
I call out to you,
Askin' what I can do
For you to stay.
You turn to me,
Say "we're history",
I then realize I don't know your name.

Let's not go too fast,
Let's fumble neath the covers,
Put your body on me.
I cannot last
But let's act like lovers
Pretend I'm hotter than what you see.
And when the sun rises
Please don't quickly go
Cause I don't want to be left
With your shadow
(Woah woah woah)

Let's not go too fast,
