Room To Grow
Verse:
People always trying to tell me what to do
People always trying to tell me what to wear
But I'm not you
And I can dye my hair
People always trying to tell me what style to sing
People always trying to tell me the words to say
But I don't wear your ring
And I can find my own way
Chorus:
Try to tell me how to fly but I will never learn if I
Can't grow the wings to Try
Try to tell me how to live but I will never be alive
If I can't live my life
Try to tell me where to go but I will never know
If I can't have room to grow
Verse 2:
Try to tell me to change my look
You can never look too thin
Well I didn't read that book
I don't play games I can't win
Chorus:
Bridge:
Let me be me
Why does putting me down make you happy
Let me go
Stop saying no, no, no
Chorus: Breakdown
Chorus: Big
Hold Me
Verse 1:
When I was a child
I was held all the time
Now That I'm grown
There's more on my mind
Than being held enough
Gotta keep moving
And hold back the tears
Gotta keep working
Don't think about fears
There's no time to stop
Chorus:
Hold me, no one, nobody holds me
No one, nobody knows me no more
Hold me, I want someone to hold me
I need someone who knows me more
Verses:
I just need a helping hand
To pull me out of sinking sands
But too afraid to ask
For the love I crave inside
I need you, Don't be shy
Life moves too fast
Chorus:
Bridge:
Take me, take me away
We'll laugh in our funny way
Hold Me
Hold Me
Chorus2:
Hold me, I need you to Hold me
No one, nobody holds me like you do
Hold me, I need you to Hold
I only want you to hold me, just you
By Your Side
Verse 1:
Roll over you're on my side of the bed
Love's hard unless you're dead
But I don't want you to die
Just get off my side
Baby's sleeping let's have some fun
Wait, no he's not, the work's never done
Life's full of complications
I just want to go on vacation
Chorus:
I Don't know what can I do
I guess I'll just fall more in love with you
Life gets hard, makes me cry
But I will always stand by your side
Verse 2:
Somedays we argue somedays we kiss
But I wouldn't change any of this
Let's laugh it off and hold hands
Take a walk in the sand
By the ocean and into the waves
Let them carry us far away
With our baby and all of our love
Livin' the life we've been dreamin' of
Chorus:
Bridge:
Life comes in waves you know
Never know which way the wind may blow
We may fight like sister and brother
But you'll always be my lover
Chorus:
Roll over you're on my side of the bed
New Moon
Verse:
I can still feel you near
Though you're far away I fear
Did you mean the words you said
Did you mean to leave me here dead
Pre:
What's my life with no you
What's the night with no moon
Chorus:
You can turn your cheek
But can you forget me
You can fly away
But can you stay
Verse 2:
I try to run fast
But there's no running from this past
I try to forget
But you I'll never regret
Chorus:
Bridge:
Time seems to pass
I can never outlast
My love
Your face
My tears
Your cold embrace
Chorus:
Under this new moon- I'll always love you
Love You
I Am My Own
Verse 1:
Don't touch me, I'm not yours
I'm not for sale, not anymore
I will walk in the light
I wont be scared of the night
Pre:
Stop stepping on me
Stop pressuring me
Stop oppressing me
Let me be
Chorus:
I am my own I am me
I am my own I am free
I am my own I'm beautiful
I am my own Ain't it wonderful
Verse 2:
I used to run now I'll walk
I used to hush but now I'll talk
I will not fear these past chains
I live in the now where love remains
Pre:
Stop stepping on me
Stop pressuring me
Stop oppressing me
Let me be
Chorus:
Bridge:
You may take my mind
You might take control
You might take my body
But you'll never take my soul
Chorus:
Bird On A Wire
Chorus:
I'm Like a Bird on a wire
I fly all day but grow tired
I rest my wings and I sing
Up like a bird on a wire

The crows try to scare me away
Though others fly I choose to stay
I will not Fear
I've made my home here
Chorus:
Verse 2:
I fly from town to town
Think of settling down
The more I see
Settling's not for me
Chorus:

Drop Dead

I was walking in the rain
You came along to save my day
Never knew I could feel like this
But I’d never met your kiss
Pre:
Now I’m entranced
Baby, baby there’s just no chance
Chorus:
I’m never getting outta your way
Gonna run into you everday
Make you pancakes and breakfast in bed
For you, my love, I’d even drop dead
If you asked me to, Only for you
So I’m loving being your wife
Living, loving together in life
Forgive, forget that’s just what we do
So we can go to sleep still saying I love you
Pre:
Now I’m entranced
Baby, baby there’s just no chance

I’m never getting outta your way
Gonna run into you everday

Your lips, your smile, your face
Your tenderness, your warm embrace
Sometimes it’s more than I can bear
You best believe I’m not gonna share
Chorus:
See Through
Verse 1:
Like A diamond in the sky
You’ll always shoot on by
Like a single grain of sand
You’re too small to stay in my hand
Pre:
I thought I knew you
Now I don’t want to
Chorus:

Now I know who you’ll be
You’re so hard, you’re so mean
All the words you say
All the things you do

You’re see through

Like the moon and the stars
You’ll always be too far
Like the waves come and go
You’ll always put on a show

Falling In Love
Verse 1:
Falling in love’s easy to do
When I’m falling for you
Miles and miles on your car
Brought us this far
Pre:
All of these years
You laughed at my fears

No matter where we go or what we do
All I know’s I gotta be with you
No matter where we go or what we do
Everything’s special if I’m with you

And when we have to say goodbye
Even just for the night
I know deep inside
All the years I tried to hide

At every days’ end
I wanna fall asleep next to my best friend

I could travel this whole wide world
But without you I’d be a lonely girl

I Cry
Verse 1:
I look at life like the sea
Waves come and go, crash over me
I’m so thankful for how I’ve been blessed
But it’s not enough, gotta help the rest
Pre:
They’re all alone on the edge of the street
With no home not enough to eat
Chorus:
So I cry, oh I cry
For all the children with tears in their eyes
So I cry, oh I cry
For all of the lost in the world tonight
Verse 2:
I look at all the children
Paying the price for other’s sins
I wonder how much more they can take
Will we help or will we let them break
Pre:
Chorus:
Bridge:
I sing for those with no voice
I raise my hand for their choice
I cry for those with no tears
I sing so the world will hear
All of their voices screaming loud
Chorus:
Oh I cry, I cry
All of the children in the world tonight
We’ve got to try, we’ve gotta try
To save the lost in the world tonight
Outro: (over Chorus chords)
There’s so much we can do
So much we can say
Don’t look through please don’t turn the other way
Give em a smile, Give em a hug
It doesn’t cost anything to show love
Old Land

I love the free and wide open
The wind through my hair
I love to stand at the ocean
Taste the salt in the air

And look up at the sky
I know someday I’ll learn to fly

I don’t wanna be an old lady
Who never learned how to live
I don’t wanna be your baby
A man who never learned how to give
Verse 2:
So I look up at the moon
See him smiling down at me
I try not to think of you
The man I thought you would be

You, you stand there so proud
Looking at me
We both know I’m too loud
And I’ll always be too free

Cause I know how to live
I will never be your baby
You’ll never learn how to give
Pretend
Verse 1:
You can say you don’t feel a thing
And I’ll pretend that I believe
But tell me when you look in my eyes
Can you say everything was a lie
Chorus:
It’s not easy pretending
I don’t feel a thing
But if that’s what I have to do
To say, I don’t love you
I’ll pretend, pretend
Verse 2:
It always ends so suddenly
Yesterday you said that you loved me
Now today you just want to be friends
Oh, when will this madness end
Chorus:
Bridge:
It’s not that I want you back
You were never mine, never mine to have
It’s just that I deserve the truth
Tell me, Did I ever mean a thing to you
Was it all pretend
Verse 3:
It doesn’t matter now anyway
There’s nothing left here to make me stay
Now it’s your turn to hear the truth
Your life is a lie, and it’s wrapped around you
Chorus:
Now I’m not pretending
I don’t feel a thing
I did what I had to do
Now I know that loving you
Was all Pretend
Outro on verse chords:
Pretend
Can't Breathe
Verse 1:
I know I shouldn’t love you but I can’t help myself
It’s kind of pathetic and I probably need help
But the touch of your hand and the sound of your voice
I just lose control, it’s like I never ever had any choice
Chorus:
And every time you look at me
My heart stops and I can’t breathe
All I know is I need you
All I know is I need you
In my life
Verse 2:
Well everyone I know says “Girl play hard to get”
Dontcha know I would if I could but I’m drowning and I’m far too wet
And I never had the patience to let things flow
And now it’s high tide and you should know, you should know…
Chorus:
And every time you look at me
My heart stops and I can’t breathe
All I know is I need you
All I know is I need you
In my life
Bridge:
You think I’d have more pride than to throw my love away like this
But I think I should die happy just to taste one kiss
Now it’s been too long I’ve held back
I don’t wanna live my life like that
Chorus:
And every time you look at me
My heart stops and I can’t breathe
All I know is I need you
All I know is I need you
In my life
(Soft and slower time)
Every time you look at me
My heart stops and I can’t breathe
Seaching
Verse 1:
What if I feel out of your reach
Would you run or rescue me
What if I jumped out of the sky
Would you look down or open your arms wide
Chorus:
I have been searching my whole life for you
I’ve been hoping you were looking for me too
Verse 2:
What if I tried to push you away
Would you go or would you stay
What if I said I didn’t love you
Would you laugh because you know it’s not true
Chorus:
I have been searching my whole life for you
I’ve been hoping you were looking for me too
Cello Solo (thanks Ellen Frolichstein)
Chorus:
I have been searching my whole life for you
Please tell me you were looking for me too
Cannonball
There’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It’s still a little hard to say what's going on
There’s still a little bit of your ghost your witness
There’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can´t say what´s going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
There’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
There’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can´t see what´s going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So its not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon.
Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to cry
So come on courage, teach me to be shy
'Cause its not hard to fall,
And I don't want to scare her
Its not hard to fall
And i don't want to lose
Its not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
Everything
Verse 1:
There’s something in your touch I never felt before
I gave you so much, you never asked for more
There’s so much I could say
But you turn your head away
All the times I was denied
All because you never tried
Pre:
But you, you push me away
And I, I never know the right thing to say
Chorus:
You are everything to me
You are every place that I long to see
Every time, every breath I breathe
Don’t you know that you’re everything to me
Verse 2:
I could feel justified if we had even kissed
But all the nights I had cried I was never even missed
How could you know
The feelings I never showed
Friends know what to do
But do friends say I love you
Pre:
Chorus:
Bridge:
But all you do is talk about her
And how she treats you so cruel
You don’t stop and look around you
And see the girl who’s been there pulling you through
Chorus:
You
Verse 1:
I keep fallin fallin down the stairs
Turn around and look but you’re never there
Why can’t I just see
You’ll never be good for me
Still I want us to be
Because of you, you
Chorus:
All I ever wanted was you, just you
You never knew what to do, do you
I keep on trying but you keep on lying
Still I’m so in love with you, you
Verse 2:
Rain rain falling over my face
These memories are hard to erase
Why can’t I just see
You’ll never be good for me
Still I want us to be
Because of you, you
Chorus:
Bridge:
I see the passion in your eyes
And it takes me by surprise
Cause you try so hard to hide
The feelings you feel deep inside
But then you take me by the hand
You’re such a kind, gentle man
Will you ever learn to love me
What you want, that’s what I will be
Chorus:
Creep By Radiohead
When you were here before,
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very special
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so very special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh
He's running out again
He's running out
He run run run run...
run... run...
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so very special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
