OneRepublic Songs by First Lyrics

All the right friends in all the right places, so yeah, we're going down, they've got all the right moves and all the right faces, so yeah, we're going down

For those days we felt like a mistake, those times when love's what you hate, somehow we keep marching on

Do you know where your heart is? Do you think you can find it? Or did you trade it for something, somewhere better just to have it?

I need another story, something to get off my chest, my life gets kinda boring, need something that I can confess

Days when we'd fight, we'd fight 'til I would give in, yeah, perfect disasters, we were reaching, reaching for the rafters

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us, it's time to make our move, I'm shaking off the rust, I've got my heart set on anywhere but here, I'm staring down myself, counting up the years

Woke up in London yesterday, found myself in the city near Piccadilly, don't really know how I got here, I got some pictures on my phone, new names and numbers that I don't know, addressed to places like Abbey Road

I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground and I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make a sound, you tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down, but wait

Angel of mercy how did you find me? Where did you read my story? Pulled from the papers, desperate and hardened, seeking a momentary fix

I can't sleep, no, not like I used to, I can't breathe in and out like I need to, it's breaking ice now to make any movement, what's your vice? You know that mine's the illusion

Watchin' myself and I'm taking strides but here comes the moon, and it feels, and it feels like an informer. Quick, run away, hide before they see you, you know it is all, all aglow

We say "goodbye", I turn my back, run away, run away, so predictable. Not far from here, you see me crack, like a bone, like a bone, I'm so breakable

Well, hail Caesar, shadow in my backseat and her friends are standing right in front of me, world wide from the Cimarron to Turkey, open up, said everybody loves me

I found verity on N'Orleans Avenue, down where the air is thick as L.A. skies are blue, the water tried to break it down, but it held through, it gave a little for the sake of staying true

It's been a long time coming since I've seen your face, I've been everywhere and back trying to replace everything that I had 'til my feet went numb, praying like a fool that's been on the run

I'll find the places where you hide, I'll be the dawn on your worst night, the only thing left in your life, I would kill for you, that's right

Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall, hope when the water rises, you built a wall, hope when the crowd screams out, it's screaming your name, hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay

Like a stone you watch it fall and let it roll out over the fields, you take your time and watch it crawl like you're the big shot symphony, but oh what would you say if I told you 'the pitch is wrong' with a smile? I took a trip to wonderland, gonna get you nowhere by a mile

I guess this is what it's supposed to feel like when we don't talk, no we don't talk, we don't talk anymore. I guess this is what it's supposed to sound like, the universe, the universe, universe is torn

Today I'm not myself, and you, you're someone else, and all these rules don't fit, and all that starts can quit

You and I were meant to be, ain't no doubt about it, no way to hide that sort of thing. Now, I'm waiting for something better, ain't nothing better worth imagining

I had a dream the other night, about how we only get one life, at woke me up right after two, I stayed awake and stared at you so I wouldn't lose my mind

When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravity, I knew how to fly, and I would teach you for a fee

I do my best to find some kind of glow, I'm giving it some heart and soul, now from the darkest grays, the sun bursts, clouds break, yeah, we see that fire from the streets of Babylon, to the road that we've been on, the kaleidoscope claims another

When, when we came home, worn to the bones, I told myself, "This could get rough."

Woke up starin' at this, starin' at this empty room, ooked at thousand different pictures that your mother took of you. You see I had this crazy dream last night - this man, he talked to me, he told me everything that's good and bad about my history

Days are long, life's so short, it's a crazy world you and me call life. Taking off across the sea, touchdown, city full of lights

When I was younger you told me I should get my sh*t together, you said life is a painting, but all your colors always bleed together

Well I see breakfast on the table and I can smell you in the halls, Lord knows I'd cry if I was able but that won't get me through tomorrow

'Member when we met? We fell in love on a Sunday, yeah I'll never forget the way that you spelled my name

I don't set alarms, lately I don't set alarms but that's because of the ringing that's happening inside my head, inside my head, yeah yeah

We were running from the waves on the shallows, trying to keep ourselves alone and out of sight, all right, all right, all right

Yesterday I talked to God, we had a conversation, told him that I'm sorry I lost communication, but I just, I just needed some holiness

If I told you I was down, I was down, would you help me? Told you I was down, I was down, would you lift me up? I need your strength, I'll be yours someday, if I told you I was down, I was down, would you lift me up?

Mother said don't pack your bags, we ain't got no time for that, they shut the lights off in our neighborhood, don't know if we're coming back

I know I could lie but I'm telling the truth, wherever I go there's a shadow of you. I know I could try looking for something new but wherever I go, I'll be looking for you

I'll be a fool when the suns out, burn you a fire when you burn out and give you the future you gave away, and give you my youth for some million days

When the room don't like us I'll be at your table, yeah I'll be sitting next to you, and when the world ain't righteous, it's raining Cain and Abels, I'll be trying to dance with you

I'm staring at these sudden waterfalls, tears that don't make sense to me at all, this life's what happens when you're making plans, don't know what happens next or where I stand

It's a classic 'me' mistake, someone gives me love and I throw it all away. Tell me have I gone insane? Talkin' to myself but I don't know what to say 'cause...

Oh, I know that there'll be better days, oh, that sunshine bout to come my way. May we never ever shed another tear for today, cause oh, I know that there'll be better days

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I love you? Didn't we, didn't we, didn't we fly? Know that I, know that I still care for you, but didn't we, didn't we say goodbye?

She said, "Every time I close my eyes I feel like I could disappear, I could overflow an ocean with a cavalcade of all my tears"

Never could imagine the way the story happened, he was someone new, I used to be your focus, now you don't even notice when I leave the room

Would you rescue me? Would you get my back? Would you take my call when I start to crack? Would you rescue me? Ahh. Would you rescue me?

You bring an energy I've never felt before, some kind of chemical that reaches to my core, feels like, as far as you and me, I've never had a choice, you feel like home, mmm

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas hust like the ones I used to know, where the treetops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow

These days my waves get lost in the oceans, seven billion swimmers, man I'm going through the motions, sent up a flare, I need love and devotion, traded for some faces that I never know, notion

I remember talking and drinking what we could find, burnin' all those candles and stayin' up through the night, we'd make reservations for the places we know we'd never try but then oh, we found some rich love

I used to leave the doors unlocked and leave the lights on, I used to stay awake, just counting hours all night long, I had so many empty rooms inside this chateau, yeah, oh yeah

Today I took a walk in the clouds, today I took a walk in the clouds, used to keep my eyes wide shut, but now I'm staring down

Can't I just turn back the clock? Forgive my sins, I just wanna roll my sleeves up and start again

We used to run around this ghost town, always thinking out loud, are we gonna get out?

When I was a young boy living in the city all I did was run run run run run, staring at the lights they look so pretty, Momma said "son son son son son, you're gonna grow up, you're gonna get old, all that glitters don't turn to gold but until then just have your fun, boy, run run run run run"

I don't wanna only call your name when I'm brokenhearted, yeah. I already know how much I've got to lose, I don't wanna have to crash and burn to be where we started, yeah. I don't wanna ever need a map to you

Some days you're alone, yeah, some days this don't feel like home, mm-mmh, it's not just how we planned it, hey, yeah, I'm so happy they're throwing stones, no

I don't feel like I'm myself today, something in me just let go. Took some medicine to numb the pain, went so dark, you'd never know

I just lost the feeling that I had today, do all these good times come and go away? Tell me something that I can say, sometimes I just want to walk away

I forgot about you, I forgot about what you said, I forgot about what you did, I forgot about you

Tell me about your day, tell me everything that made you so angry, if I don't know what to say then I'll find some words to say

Some days, I'm treading the water, and feel like it's getting deep, some nights, I drown in the weight of the things that I think I need

Six on the second hand to new years resolutions, and there's just no question what this man should do

Bust through the door said, "What's your name", looking for somebody and you match the shame, now don't lie, don't lie. You've seen the television and you know what's up, the world's going crazy and you're mighty stuck, so don't lie, so don't lie

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin'), found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it) give me the sun for just a year, I'll kiss the sky and disappear

Runnin' through this strange life, chasin' all them green lights, throwin' off the shade for a little bit of sunshine, hit me with them good vibes, pictures on my phone like everything is so fire. A little bit of sunshine

I think it's time that I told you I'm a fan of your universe, and every shade that you offer is different but I know it works

These days, these days get so hard to breathe, It's hard to move. Steep waves, steep waves crashing into me, I could swim in the blue

I don't know what you've been told, but time is running out, no need to take it slow. I'm stepping to you toe-to-toe, I should be scared, honey, maybe so
