Shake It Out

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way

I'm always dragging that horse around
Our love is questioned, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh whoa, oh whoa...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell... I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah

Shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out,
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

Smile

You’re better than the best
I’m lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flipside of my pillow, that’s right
Completely unaware
Nothin’ can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it’s okay, yeah it’s okay
And the moments when my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh you make me smile

Even when you’re gone
Somehow you come along just like a flower
Poking through the sidewalk crack
And just like that, you steal away the rain
And just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh you make me smile

Don’t know how I lived without you
‘Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh you make me smile

(Oh you make me smile) oh you make me smile
(Oh you make me smile) oh you make me smile

Glad You Came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe..

Will never be the same
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,

Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe..

Will never be the same
I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,

Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe..

Will never be the same
I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe..
Will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

Breakdown

I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And see what there is to see
Time is just a melody
With all the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
I just roll through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame I'm looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now I..

I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown

Well this engine screams out loud
Centipede gonna crawl westbound
So I don't even make a sound cause

It's gonna sting me when I leave this town
And all the people in the street
That I'll never get to meet
If these tracks don't bend somehow
And I got no time
That I got to get to
Where I don't need to be
So I..

I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown

I wanna break on down
But I can't stop now
Let me break on down

But you can't stop nothing
If you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind
That you kept in, you know
You don't know nothing
But you don't need to know
The wisdoms in the trees
Not the glass windows

You can't stop wishing
If you don't let go
But things that you find
And you lose, and you know
You keep on rolling
Put the moment on hold
The frames too bright
So put the blinds down low

I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown

I wanna break on down
But I can't stop now

-Jack Johnson

i feel infinite

Maybe Tomorrow

I've been down and I'm wondering why
These little black clouds keep walking around 

With me, with me

It wastes time and I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside and buy a rainbow smile
But be free, they're all free

So maybe tomorrow, 

I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow, 

I'll find my way home

I look around at a beautiful life
I've been the upper side of down, been the inside of out
But we breathe, we breathe

I wanna breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean
Wanna take my time for me, all me

So maybe tomorrow, 

I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow, 

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow, 

I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow, 

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow, 

I'll find my way home
Maybe tomorrow, 

I'll find my way home

Suddenly I See

Ok... so maybe not so suddenly, but this song has always resonated with me, and today I felt like posting it. I feel like I'm finally becoming the person I want to be.

Her face is a map of the world, is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl, she's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
People who surround her feel the benefit of it, it makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And I feel like walking the world, like walking the world
And you can hear she's a beautiful girl, she's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember what you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on a word

Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
(Suddenly I see)
That this is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

Yea, she's taller than most, and she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from the page of a magazine
She makes me feel like I could be a tower, big strong tower yeah
The power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah

(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah

Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
(Suddenly I see)
'Cause this is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Ohh yeaa
(Suddenly I see)

Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

Four Songs...

 Went to post a new song today, and saw I hadn't posted two others yet. They may seem conflicting, but hey, so is life. Posted in order of thoughts.

Updated: A fourth song fell into my lap, had to add it. 

Respect - Train
For reasons I don't know I...
Treated you so cold
I wish I had those times again
Cause something that you said keeps...
Ringing in my head
Someday you're gonna wanna come back and..
You're gonna wanna treat me fine

Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little

I watched me push you down in...
Dreams I had of you
And all I remember about those days is I would run around
Thinking that you'd be alright
But you lost your light along the way
And oh you were right 'bout the things I'd say
Cause if I had it back again I know I would
You know I'd treat you kind

Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time

Everybody... got to have somebody
Everybody... got to have someone

All I ever wanted from this play
Was someone to talk to when I get down
It seems you get the things you give along the way
Now all I need is one more chance
To make you feel like hanging round

Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time

Everybody
Everybody got to have someone



Breakeven - The Script
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even... even... no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you, and
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even... even... no

What am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you, and
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains, ooooh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break
No it don't break, no it don't break even nooo

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you, and
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?
(Oh glad your okay now)
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
(Oh I'm glad your okay)
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no



Complicated - Avril Lavigne
Uh huh
Life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh
That's the way it is
(La, la la la la la)
Cause life's like this
(La, la la la la la)
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is

Chill out,
What you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if.. you could only let it be
You will see

I like you the way you are
When we're, driving in your car
And you're talking to me one on one
But you become

Somebody else
'Round everyone else
Watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this, you
And you fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty, you promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're something else
Where you are and
Where it's at, you see
You're making me

Laugh out
When you strike a pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know, you're not fooling anyone
When you become

Somebody else
'Round everyone else
Watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
Tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this, you
And you fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty, you promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no...

Chill out,
What you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could let it be
You will see

Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watchin' your back
Like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this, you
And you fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty, you promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this, you
And you fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty, you promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no



Sun - Mae
I'm a mess, I guess.
It's what I asked for, it's what I needed.
Well, you know me better than that,
Or at least you did, then something happened.
But once, again something's happened.

The confidence you held in us
The rope we almost hung ourselves with.
At times I wonder if we really
Took the steps to break right through it.
I know that there were better days, but to see the light and to feel the rays.
Life was always back and forth and we were idling or making
Useless.... progress....

Waiting for the rain to stop.
Destination: beautiful.
Seems like I'm still waiting for the sun.
Someday will come back to us,
If you're willing let it go.
Why won't you just let this be your sun?
It seems like yesterday we had the world our way,
But some... say we're heading for destruction.

I'll ask you "What in the world should we do?"
This light is green our break is through.
Are we not trying or are we trying too hard?
Well, you know I never want to miss,
I hold on tight and reminisce,
But it's bittersweet to me.

When time stands still, as it's trapped inside
The letterbox you gave back to me,
But I'm the one who keeps on reading...
But I'm the one who wants to let it go.
I'm the first to speak.
You're the last to know.
Another scene that we're creating,
I need to know if we're still making
Useless.... progress....

Waiting for the rain to stop.
Destination: beautiful.
Seems that I'm still waiting for the sun.
Someday will come back to us,
If you're willing let it go.
Why won't you just let this be your sun?
It seems like yesterday we had the world our way,
But some... will say we're heading for destruction.
(repeat, followed by amazing piano solo)

The Lazy Song

Today I don't feel like doin' anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doin' anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up, then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gonna tell me I can't

I'll be lounging on the couch,, just chillin' in my snuggie
Click to MTV, so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man


Oh, yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don’t feel like doin' anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doin' anything
Nothing at all
(Nothing at all)

Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out, "This is Great"
(Oh my god, this is great)
Yeah

I might mess around, get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait

Oh, yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don’t feel like doin' anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doin' anything

No I, ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh

I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eah

Oh
Today I don’t feel like doin' anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doin' anything

Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

-Bruno Mars

Brick by Brick

The dust.. has finally settled down
The sun is shining on
These pieces that are scattered all around
This house.. was everything we knew
It's where we kept our love
And every single memory of me and you

Every letter, every note
Every dress you ever wore under your coat thrown away

Brick by brick we can build it from the floor
If we hold on to each other we'll be better than before
And brick by brick we'll get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and when you..
Took my breath away
You took my breath away

The sky.. has made it back to blue
Everything that's left
Is telling us the worst of it is through
Home.. has never felt so right
There's nothing in the way
There's nothing in between us knowing where we're going is inside

Every letter that I wrote
Every dress you never wore under your coat thrown away

Brick by brick we can build it from the floor
If we hold on to each other we'll be better than before
And brick by brick we'll get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and when you
Took my breath away

All the pictures that we've taken
And the songs that we have played
That have all kept track and followed back
The love that we have made
Now their spread out on the surface
We can try to congregate, it's not to late
To believe that we can have it all again

Brick by brick we can build it from the floor
If we hold on to each other we'll be better than before
And brick by brick we'll get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and when you...
Took my breath away
Took my breath away

Brick by brick we'll get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and when you..
Took my breath away
You took my breath away

On the Radio

(excerpt)

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

-Regina Spektor

I Feel It All

I feel this song. =)

I feel it all, I feel it all
I feel it all, I feel it all
The wings are wide, the wings are wide
Wild card inside, wild card inside

Ooh. I'll. be. the. one. who'll. break. my. heart
I'll. be. the. one. to, hold the gun
I know more than I knew before
I know more than I knew before
I didn't rest, I didn't stop
Did we fight, or did we talk?

Ooh. I'll. be. the. one. who'll. break. my. heart
I'll. be. the. one. to, hold the gun
I love you more
I love you more
I don't know what I knew before
But now I know I wanna win the war

No one likes to take a test
Sometimes you know more is less
Put your weight against the door
Kick drum on the basement floor
Stranded in the fog of words
Loved him like a winter bird
On my head the water pours
Gulf stream through the open door

Fly away
Fly away to what you, wanna make

Ho oh oh oh oh oh...

I feel it all, I feel it all (ha!)
I feel it all, I feel it all (ha!)
The wings are wide, the wings are wide
Wild card inside, wild card inside

Ooh. I'll. be. the. one. who'll. break. my. heart
I'll. be. the. one. who'll. break. my heart
I'll. be. the. one. who'll. break. my heart
I'll end it though you started it

The truth lies
The truth lied
And lies divide
Lies divide

-Feist

All We Are

I tried to paint you a picture,
The colors were all wrong
Black and white didn't fit you
And all along...
You were shaded with patience,
Your strokes of everything
That I need just to make it,
And I can see that...

Lord knows I've failed you, time and again
But you and me are all right

We won't say our goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are,
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need,
A lover's alibi

I walked a minute in your shoes,
They never would've fit
I figured there's nothing to lose
I need to get
Some perspective on these words
Before I write them down
You're an island and my ship
Has run aground

Lord knows I'll fail you time and again,
But you and me we're alright

We won't say our goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are,
Is everything that's right
All we need all we need,
A lover's alibi

Every single day that I can breathe,
You change my philosophy
I'm never gonna let you pass me by

So don't say your goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change [x2]

All we are, all we are,
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need,
A lover's alibi

So don't say our goodbyes
You know it's better
We won't break, we won't die

Details in the Fabric

Saved message:
Hey, what's up... Uh... I lost it, I just lost it. It's one of those days. I fucking lost it, I just blew up, fucking, at my whole entire.. fucking apartment building. I told everyone to go fuck themselves. I'm just having a hard time hanging on today and uh, fuck it, I don't know...

Calm down,
Deep breaths...
And get yourself dressed
Instead...
Of running around
And pulling all your threads and...
Breaking yourself up

If it's a broken part, replace it
If it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

And hold your own,
Know your name
And go your own way.
Hold your own,
Know your own name
And go your own way.

And everything... will be fine.

Hang on...
Help is on the way
Stay strong...
I'm doing everything

Hold your own,
Know your name
And go your own way.
Hold your own,
Know your name
And go your own way.

And everything,
Everything, will be fine.
Everything...

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

Everything.. will be fine
Everything.. in no time at all
Everything...

Hold your own,
And know your name
And go your own way.

(Hold your own) Are the details in the fabric
(Know your name) Are the things that make you panic
(Go your own way) Are your thoughts results of static cling?

(Hold your own) Are the details in the fabric
(Know your name) Are the things that make you panic
(Go your own way) Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine?

(Hold your own) Are the things that make you blow
(Know your name) Hell no reason go on and scream
(Go your own way) If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything.. will be fine
Everything.. in no time at all
Hearts will hold

New message:
Yo, what's up man? I uh, I don't know I just wanted to say that uh, everything's cool with me now, I mean.. I just think, I think I'll always be funky, can't stop being funky, but I guess just uh, we just deal with it how it comes. Deal with the humps, take the jumps. I feel like you're an island of reality in an ocean of diarrhea. And I love you buddy. Ok. Bye.

-Jason Mraz (feat. James Morrison)

In Repair

This is such a fantastic song. More to come this week.

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right

Ohh it's taking so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
Ohh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am... in repair
I am... in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new look upon me

Ohh it's taking so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
Ohh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am... in repair
I am... in repair

And now I’m walking in a park
And all of the birds, they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me

Ohh it's taking so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
Ohh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady

Oh yeah, I’m never really ready
Oh yeah, I’m never really ready

I'm in repair, I’m not together but I’m getting there
I'm in repair, I’m not together but I'm getting there
(repeat til fade)

-John Mayer

Why Not

For the record, I am not a Hilary Duff fan, but her lyric writers must be pretty decent.

You think you're going nowhere
When you're walking down the street
Acting like you just don't care
When life could be so sweet

Why you wanna be like that
As if there's nothing new
You're not fooling no one
You're not even fooling you

So walk a little slower
And open up your eyes
Sometimes it's so hard to see
The good things passing by

There may never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right

(So) Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not

Why not take a crazy chance [X2]

You always dress in yellow
When you want to dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told

You keep waiting where you are
For what you'll never know
Let's just get in to your car
And go, baby go

(So) Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not

Oh... oh
I could be the one for you
Oh... yeah
Maybe yes
Maybe no
Oh...
It could be the thing to do
What I'm saying is
You gotta let me know

You'll never get to heaven, or even to L.A.
If you don't believe there's a way

Why not
Take a star from the sky
Why not
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But why not
Why not

Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not

-Hilary Duff

Many the Miles

There's too many things that I haven't done yet
Too many sunsets...
I haven't seen
You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
You would've thought by now...
I'd have learned something

I made up my mind when I was a young girl
I've been given this one world
I won't worry it away
But now and again I lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light
But then love comes in

How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles
And I'll be happy to...
Follow you, love

I do what I can wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love
And spreading it around
Cause I've had my fair share of take care and goodbyes
I've learned how to cry
And I'm better for that

Sing how far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Send me the miles
And I'll be happy to...
Follow you, love

Red letter day and I'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I've been talking to God don't know
If it's helping or not
But surely something has got to got to got to give
Cause I can't keep waiting to live

How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles
And I'll be happy to, yeah

How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
Been talking to God don't know if it's helping or not
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
Oh send me the miles
And I'll be happy to...
Follow you, love

There's too many things I haven't done yet
Too many sunsets I haven't seen

Effortlessly

I won't be so hard on me today
I start to take myself so seriously
Shouldn't be so hard just to be effortlessly
It shouldn't be so hard to keep it together
It shouldn't be so hard to say the right things to you
It shouldn't be so hard just to be effortlessly

Weightless worries fall away
Wasted pools of energy
I want to know I want to breathe

Effortlessly - just be
I want to be effortlessly
I want to be

It shouldn't be so hard to be inspired
It shouldn't be so hard just to write this song
It shouldn't be so hard to be wrong or to agree
It shouldn't be so hard to change the world
It shouldn't be so hard just to change your mind
It shouldn't be so hard just to be effortlessly

Weightless worries fall away
Wasted pools of energy
I want to know I want to breathe

Effortlessly - just be
I want to be effortlessly
I want to be

I won't be so hard on me today
I start to take myself so seriously
Shouldn't be so hard just to be effortlessly

Effortlessly
I want to know
I want to breathe
I want to simplify my needs
I want to live inside this moment
And just be effortlessly
Just be
I wanna be effortlessly
I want to be
