here with an endless point of view
hope will have me think you see it too
look past the forest without trees
ready now to see beyond the leaves
smaller than I felt when I was young
time will let you know when it's begun
you're standing at the centre of it all
ready now to catch you when you fall
ch:
why is there so much in the way?
won't you let me fly?
try when it feels like there's no plan
cry when things are getting out of hand
look passed the storm that's around you
no one said there's limits to a view
(ch)

you, wonderful beautiful you
when you smiled, you always could brighten my day
few as strong and fearless as you
when you cried you always seemed so far away
why didn't I see things before
if I did maybe you'd still be around
through, you said it's time we were through
then I cried but never got to make a sound
ch:
like a fool I waited all night
hoping that you would come back to me
you, missing that wonderful you
I don't know, why didn't I understand?
blue, wishing the past wasn't true
in the end we only go as far as we can
(ch)

over-tired ruler of the lands
doesn't have a friend who understands
what it's like to shake a million hands
with a smile that don't shine for real
doesn't want to do it all again
threw out everything except a plan
letting space invade will cause the end
in a while they won't ignore us
for a home
they cherish a new home
invade us, take me home
that's what the plan is
let them change our whole world
the ruler prays for this before each night
doesn't think it's working but it might
doesn't care if this is wrong or right
for a wish only hurts itself
sending signals up into the sky
had the citizens all asking why
told them there were things that they should try
if you all will please just trust us
and go home
ignore this and go home
the spaceships will take me home
that's what the plan is
let them change our whole world
welcome to your invasion
I'm hosting it at home
have a very fun invasion
just don't leave us alone
welcome to my home
invade us if you please
welcome to my home
I know you can get us on our knees
you should come on down
the price is right
you could have an afterparty after every night
it's alright
use dynamite
just change our world so I don't have to rule anymore

this much
05:05

never met a girl, never saw someone like you
always talking straight, always doin' stuff that you mean and meant to do
short, short hair and a freckle over each blue eye
always in the shade but I bet you never had to ask is there a reason why
a hustle in the corner broke out over dibs and rights
you never noticed them cause you're just another set of eyes prolonging silly fights
I'm flirting like a boy cause the window done told me to
if you really want to dance then I'll ditch all of my friends and stay here with you
tell me if your name is a person, place or thing
things were going' swell till the dj had to slow it down and ruin everything
we showed the room how to dance
we danced real slow
we showed the world how to dance
when we danced real slow
I had to blow it up, I had to ask you for a punch
when I asked you please tell me if you like me, so you said, "this much"
your fingers aren't far apart
I'm sinking to the cold hard floor
maybe it's a place to start
if I keep on dancing' maybe you'll like me more
maybe we should dance

not again
03:54

lost my feeling for pain
though it's still there
whisper all day
reminding me
take a needle in vain
cause I don't care
throw it farther
than I can see
ch:
don't remind me of past days
I left them
in a memory I'm seeing all day
hoping I won't see again
not again
found another breakdown
in a new place
keep on marching with broken knees
there's a new kid in town
with a hidden sad face
avoid whispers
and let it freeze
(ch)

young mountains

punish me
it's hard to understand
why it takes so long
joining you up there
I'm getting anxious for a view
without looking up
just the sky and you
I'll be older then
that's how it's going
ch:
it feels like the world will never change
and it's hard to see the world when everything is strange
but when hope comes crashing down
we'll laugh over everything we were
when we were young mountains looking up
pressure me
into joining you
like a gentle wind going somewhere else
I think about you all the time
too hard look away
you made yesterday better than I feel
when I'm looking forward
(ch)

Julie you don't want me to go
surely it's better this way
before the door shuts you hold me
you told me I cannot stay here
Julie there's too much left to say
why did it take us this long?
before I leave can I kiss you?
I'll miss you
I'm always wrong
you need to find someone (3x)
I'm just not any one

wait for the boat
03:49
|
|||
|
could it be there's a path not taken?
could we just try that?
do you like any words I'm making?
am I where it's at?
will we sink if the water gets rough?
what if you can't swim?
could it be you've had more than enough?
will you leave with him?
wait for the boat
you're not going home
I'm waiting for the boat
it's not looking good

taking way too long
02:34
|
|||
|
in the morning I will probably
find out that you're gone
you will come back if I am lucky
I never was before
but I wait
yes I'll wait
to see if you'll come home
and I wait
yes I wait
but it's taking way too long
there you are
coming home probably
coming home just for me
coming home wait and see
coming home just for me
there you are

1 - 2 Elanore
up on 3 and not before
all eyes on shy Mary
flashing lights are too scary
learn from Louis Lane
always dancing through the pain
hold still Juliette
running will make you forget
you promised me
you'd dance with me
spin spin Evelyn
always smiling with a grin
heel toe don't you know
Adia is in the show
there goes Jessica
with her dance she's blessin' ya
reach high like Zoe does
the only reason is because
hold on Stephanie
causing waves across the sea
one request for all y'all
dance with me before I fall in love
oh
dance with me before I fall in love
