OneRepublic - All We Are(original)

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 believe that I could tear you apart but it won't break anything that you are, you are
We'll 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, our love is at a bind

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 is running ground

I could tear your apart, but it won't break anything that we are, we are
We'll say our goodbyes you know its 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, our love is at a bind
Every single day that I can breathe, you changed my philosophy
I'm never gonna let you pass me by
So don't say your goodbyes you know its 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, our love is at a bind

OneRepublic - All Fall Down

Step out the door
And it feels like rain
That's the sound
That's the sound on your window pane
Take to the streets
But you can't ignore
That's the sound
That's the sound you're waiting for

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's when you'll find me

God love your soul
And your aching bones
Take a breath
Take a step
Meet me down below
Everyone's the same
Our fingers to our toes
We just can't get a ride
But we're on the road

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's when you'll find me

Lost till you're found
Swim till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love till you hate
Strong till you break
Know that we all fall down

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
If ever your world starts crashing down
That's when you'll find, find me

Lost till you're found
Swim till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love till you hate
Strong till you break
Know that we all fall down

All fall down (x5)

Lost till you're found
Swim till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love till you hate
Strong till you break
Know that we all fall down

OneRepublic - Won't Stop

[Verse 1]
Uh ohh
Now I stared at you
From across the room
Until both my eyes were faded
I was in a rush
I was out of luck
Now I'm so glad that I waited
Well you were almost there
Almost mine...yeah
They say love ain't fair
But I'm doing fine...

[Chorus]
Cause i swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that I’ve waited for
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
And it ain't gonna stop
No it just won’t stop
Uh oh oh
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Now you were fine by night
But when the morning light comes
Comfortable as rain on Sunday
And I’m a lucky soul
That holds your hand so tight
Hope you hear this one day
Don’t fool yourself
This is my truth

[Chorus]
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that i waited for
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
And it ain’t gonna stop
It just won’t stop

[Interlude]
You take this hand
You take this heart
Steal my bones
From a thousand miles apart
Feels so cold
Felt just like its ten shades of winter
And i need the sun
Ohh yeahh
Oh oh no no yeah yeah

[Chorus]
And i swear it’s you
I swear you
I swear it's you that it waited for
I swear it’s you
I swear its
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that I’ve waited for
I swear it's you
I swear it's you
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
And it ain’t gonna stop
It just won’t stop
Heyy yeahh
It just won’t stop
No no no no woahh yeah
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
Ohh yeah

OneRepublic - Tyrant

Watching myself when 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 I all a glow

Walking on water seems perilous now you got my trust and it feels, and it feels like sabotage when I'm pulling triggers back on myself you know it is all I know, is all I know

And it feels so real from the outside looking in
And it feels so real from the outside
From the out
From the out
Tyrant
Tyrant

Feel capable of most anything this crippled bears gonna sing
gonna bring you all the years is quick turn around look your shadows could could not beautiful lies for you is what they do ..

And it feels so real from the outside looking in
And it feels so real from the outside
From the out
From the out
Tyrant
Tyrant

I'll stay with apathy im blind but I can see the tyrant to the bone
I'll stay with apathy im blind but I can see

Don't justify me
Don't justify me
Don't justify me

And it feels so real from the outside looking in
And it feels so real from the outside
From the out
And it feels so real from the outside looking in
And it feels so real from the outside
From the out

Tyrant tyrant tyrant oooo ooo ooo

OneRepublic - Too Easy

Autumn wind turns again
The days are warm, start to fade
All that's here is still the same
Memories fall like rain

The only world I know
Steady as you go
It's too easy, it's too easy for you
It's too easy, it's too easy for you

Sinking in the sand of time
A measurable bind, I'll be fine
I'll burn a fire above the air
So Heaven is still on my side

Where is it tonight
No more allibies
It's too easy, it's too easy for you
It's too easy, it's too easy for you

Autumn wind turns again
The days are warm, start to fade

OneRepublic - Stop and Stare

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

What you need, what you need

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see

OneRepublic - Something's Not Right Here

Come, come, my dear
Take flight, come near
I see your fear creeping around you
First love, then hate, then love, no, wait
Your confusion, it’s gonna kill me
I broke for you, I woke for you
You taught me through, God love you,
I see the signs are out of line
No fault of mine
Except for don’t say his name now

I’m breaking out, something ain’t right here
You’re falling out something ain’t here

The scream, I burn
What’s that, you say
Your cloud it’s telling you lies now
You hear my voice,
You make some noise
You stole my choice
It’s over now
Pray for him now
I speak to you

I’m breaking out, something ain’t right here
You’re falling out, something ain’t right here
I’m breaking out, something ain’t right here
You’re falling out, falling out from, falling out, you’re falling out
Why can’t you see it?

Oooooooooh

I’ll pray for you now
I’m speaking to you

OneRepublic - Someone To Save You

Patience
Took you for everything
Looked like a diamond ring
You are so much longer
That made sense
Apathy in disguise
Crept on you like a spy
Hurt you in ways
You can't describe

Back to the start now
I won't let you go this way now

Honesty
Is what you need
It sets you free
Like someone to save you
Let it go
But hurry now
Theres undertow
And I don't want to lose you now

All right
Sit down and spill your heart
Lets start from the very start
Cause I can see by your eyes
You're wasted
Your energy comes and goes
You're taking your time, and no
Nothing can change what happened, and so

Back to the start now
I won't let you go this way now

Honesty
Is what you need
It sets you free
Like someone to save you
Let it go
But hurry now
Theres undertow
And I don't want to lose you now

Now
Now
Oh my
Look at your bright stars fade so
How much can you take?

Honesty
Is what you need
It sets you free
Like someone to save you
Let it go
But hurry now
Theres undertow
And I don't want to lose you now

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na (x14)
I said to save you
Save you
Save you
Someone to save you
What you need is
Someone to save you

OneRepublic - Sleep

Talk to myself again, all alone, on my own
Walk by the scene again, just to see what people see
Caught in your stubborn hold, and I'm so far from home

So turn the lights on, turn the lights on
Turn the lights on for me
Keep the lights on, keep the lights on
Keep thelights on for me

Don't go to sleep

Lost in your thoughts again, consciously you think of me
Focus your perfect words with a pen you write me in
I can't be reached, so far from here, I need you near

So turn the lights on, turn the lights on
Turn the lights on for me
So keep the lights on, keep the lights on
Keep the lights on for me

Don't go to sleep

I wait for you, I stay for you

So turn the lights on, turn the lights on
Turn the lights on for me
So keep the lights on, keep the lights on
Keep the lights on for me

Don't go to sleep

I wait for you, I stay for you

OneRepublic - Say (All I Need)

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?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but nothing's turned out how you want it

Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
'Cause you won't let go of anything you hold
"Well, all I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head"

Do you know what your fate is?
Are you trying to shake it?
You're doing your best dance, your best look
You're praying that you'll make it

Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
'Cause you won't let go of anything you hold
"Well, all I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head
(Say) All I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head"

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find itbetter than you had it?

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find itbetter than you had it?

"(Say) All I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head
(Say) All I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head"

Do you know where the end is?
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there, go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say....

OneRepublic - Prodigal

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

And I take everything
From you
But you'll take anything
Won't you?

Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
And you wait for me
And you wait for me

I'm on the road
To who knows where?
Look ahead, not behind
I keep saying
There's no place to go
Where you're not there
On your rope, I hold tight
But it's freeing

And I'll take everything
From you
But you'll take anything
Won't you?

Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
And you wait for me
And you wait for me

Everybody wants to be right
But only if it's not daylight?
I keep trying to find my way back
My way back

Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
And you wait for me
And you wait for me

Runaway
Runaway
Runaway
From you
From you
From you

OneRepublic - Mercy

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

All I wanted to say
All I wanted to do
Has fallen apart now
All I wanted to feel
I wanted to love
It's all my fault now
A tragedy I fear

Angel of mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you

Whoa Whoa Whoa
I feel you
Whoa Whoa Whoa

Before just the daylight
Come and I stand by
Waiting to catch the quickest plane
Fly me to nowhere
It's better than somewhere
That's where I've been and nothing's changed

All I wanted to say
All I wanted to do
Is fall apart now
All I wanted to feel
I wanted to love
It's all my fault now
A tragedy for sure

Angel of mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you

Whoa Whoa Whoa
I feel you
Whoa Whoa Whoa

I'm so lost in you
A tragedy seemed to be over now
A tragedy it seemed to be
But what now?

Angel of mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you

Whoa Whoa Whoa
I feel you
Whoa Whoa Whoa
I feel you
Oh Whoa Whoa Whoa
I feel you
Oh Oh Oh

OneRepublic - Hearing Voices

Start.
Imma start with this.
Just a single thought followed by words.
I hope I don't miss.
Miss anything.
Write you a letter.
But it's better that you hear me.

I suppose I could sing.
Write a song to share the meaning.
Of the love for you I'm feeling.
People saying what they will.
I don't care.

I'm hearing voices all around.
I'm hearing voices calling out.
What would they say.
What would it change.
I'm hearing voices all around.
I'm hearing voices making sound.
What would they take.
What would they say to me.
If I was. If I was listening.

Catch my twenty-two.
I'd gladly give it to somebody.
Cause I only wanna be with you.

I'm lost in your love.
I start to drown and you go and pull me up.
Don't you listen to what they say.

I'm hearing voices all around.
I'm hearing voices calling out.
What would they say [to me]
What would it change [nothing]
I'm hearing voices all around.
I'm hearing voices all around.
I'm hearing voices making sounds.
What would they take [from me]
What would they say if I was listening.

Oh come here.
There's something I should tell.
Now don't fear.
Cause I am going no where.
Voices all around.
I'm hearing voices.
What would they say.
What would they say.
I'm hearing voices.
Voices.
Voices all around.
I'm hearing voices all around.

OneRepublic - Dreaming out loud

Well hello sir
We live for monday
Confident we'll get there someday
Pushing all the papers to a wealthy man
Might I say, "A beautiful tie you wear,"
And, "How do you find such lovely polka dots and stripes these days?"

Break all my thoughts
Hit the floor like I'm makin the score
I'm the king of the world
I'm a popular man
Count by zeros to ten
If you can't well I can
Don't let any one wake me

I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud and all at once it's so familiar to see
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
Can't find a puzzle to fit in to piece a part of me

Curtain calls a sanctuary
Actors in the cloth
They freak me out
I get my my purpose in the magazines,
Famous how they make you feel grand
They're always there to hold your hand
In times of trouble they're best of friends

Break all my thoughts
Hit the floor like I'm makin the score
I'm the king of the world
I'm a popular man
Count by zeros to ten
If you can't, well I can
Don't let any one wake me

I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
And all at once, so familiar it seems
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
Can't find a puzzle to fit in to piece a part of me

They don't care what you say
They don't care what you think
All they care
What you do
Long as your of beat
Take a look at yourself

Storm tries to come and wreck my world
No, I won't let it
Stumble to escape through anchored drapes made of bedding

I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
And all at once, so familiar it seems
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
Can't find a puzzle to fit in to a piece

I'm dreaming out of loud
Dreaming out loud

Well hello sir
We live for mondays

OneRepublic - Come Home

[Verse 1]
Well Hello world
Hope you're listening
Forgive me if I’m young
For speaking out of turn
There’s someone I’ve been missing
And I think that they could be
The better half of me
They’re in the wrong place trying to make it right
But I’m tired of justifying
So I say to you..

[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
So come home
Oooh

[Verse 2]
I get lost in the beauty
Of everything I see
The world ain’t as half as bad
As they paint it to be
If all the sons
If all the daughters
Stopped to take it in
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now..Yeahh
Well maybe I’m just dreaming out loud
But until then

[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
So come home
Oooh

[Interlude]
Everything I can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why I need you here
Everything I can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why I need you here
So hear this now

[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
So come home
Oooh

OneRepublic - Apoligize

[Verse 1]
I'm hangin' on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I'm hearin' 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...
You tell me that you're sorry,
Didn't think I'd turn around...
And say...

[Chorus]
That it's too late to apologize.
It's too late...
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Yeah!

[Verse 2]
I'd take another chance,
Take a fall, take a shot for you.
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
But it's nothin' new.
I loved you with a fire red,
Now it's turnin' blue...
And you say...
Sorry, you're not the angel
Heaven let me think was you...
But I'm afraid...

[Chorus]
It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Whoa!

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.

It's too late to apologize. YEAH!
I said it's too late to apologize. YEAH!
I'm holdin' on your rope,
got me ten feet off the ground.

OneRepublic - Goodbye Apathy

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
And all at once (as i'm trying)
I can help you out (just to keep things right)
I'll be what you need (I kill myself to make everything perfect for ya)
I'll do anything
Goodbye apathy, so long apathy

---Chorus---
So don't sit still, don't you move away from here
So goodbye apathy (as i'm trying), so long fancy free
( just to keep things right)
Goodbye apathy, (kill myself to make everything
perfect for ya)
I don't wanna be you

I don't walk right, not like I used to
There's a jump in my step as I rush to see you
I could be happy here as long as you're near to me
As long as you're close to me
Now that I'm alright (as i'm trying) I can help you
out ( just to keep things right)
I'll be what you need (I kill myself to make
everything perfect for ya)
Goodbye apathy, goodbye apathy

---Chorus---
So don't you stop pushing me, I can take so much
So goodbye apathy (as i'm trying), so long fancy free
( just to keep things right)
Goodbye apathy, (kill myself to make everything
perfect for ya)
I don't wanna be... you...

Everybody is watching you, everybody is watching me
too ....
