Song Lyrics: February 2009

Jonas Brothers — Hold On

We don't have time left to regret (Hold on)
It will take more than common sense (Hold on)
So stop your wondering take a stand (Hold on)
Cause there's more to life than just to live (Hold on)

Cause an empty room can be so loud
There's too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

One single smile a helping hand (Hold on)
It's not that hard to be a friend (Hold on)
So don't give up stand till the end (Hold on)
Cause there's more to life than just to live (Hold on)

Cause an empty room can be so loud
There's too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
When you love someone
And they break your heart
Don't give up on love
Have faith restart
Just hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

When it falls apart
And your feeling lost
All your hope is gone
Don't forget to hold on
Hold on

Cause an empty room can be so loud
There's too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
When you love someone
And they break your heart
Don't give up on love
Have faith restart
Just hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Cause an empty room can be so loud
There's too many tears to drown them out
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
When you love someone
And they break your heart
Don't give up on love
Have faith restart
Just hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Jonas Brothers - Pushin' Me Away

If the heart is always searching,
Can you ever find a home?
I've been looking for that someone,
I'll never make it on my own.
Dreams can't take the place of loving you,
There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true.

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.

How long will I be waiting,
To be with you again
I'm gonna tell you that I love you,
In the best way that I can.
I can't take a day without you here,
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear.

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.

Movin' on, I start to realize,
I can reach my tomorrow,
I can hold my head up high,
And it's all because you're by my side.

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When I hold you in my arms,
I know that it's forever,
I just gotta let you know,
That I won't let you go.

Cause when you look me in the eyes.

And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright, (it's alright)
When you're right here by my side (by my side)
When you look me in the eyes, (because)
I catch a glimpse of heaven. (oh)
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.

Jonas Brothers - S.o.s.

Told you I made dinner plans
For you and me and no one else
That don't include your crazy friends
Well I'm done
With awkward situations and empty
Conversations

Oooh
This is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true
I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get

So this is where the story ends
A conversation on I.M.
Well I'm done
With texting
Sorry for the miscommunication

Oooh
This is a S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true
I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get

Next time I see you
I'm giving you a high five
Cause hugs are over-rated just F.Y.I.

Oooh
This is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true
I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
Yeah

Oooh
This is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true
I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get
Call I'll never get
Call I'll never get

Jonas Brothers - That's Just The Way We Roll

I woke up on my roof with my brothers
There's a whale in the pool with my mother
And my dad paints the house different colors
Where would we be, if we couldn't dream?

And I know
We get a little crazy
And I know
We get a little loud
And I know
We're never gonna fake it
We are wild
We are free
We are more than you think
So call us freaks
But that's just the way we roll

You got moves, I've got shoes, let's go dancing
Pop and lock, battle dance [battle dance] against Hanson
If we lose, all the girls, they'll be laughing
Where would we be, if we couldn't dream?

And I know
We get a little crazy
And I know
We get a little loud
And I know
We're never gonna fake it
We are wild
We are free
We are more than you think
So call us freaks

But that's just the way we roll

And we're old enough to know
We're never letting go
'Cause that's just the way we roll

And I know
We get a little crazy
And I know
We get a little loud
And I know
We're never gonna fake it
We are wild
We are free
We are more than you think
So call us freaks
But that's just the way we roll

And I know
We get a little crazy
And I know
We get a little loud
And I know
We're never gonna fake it
We are wild
We are free
We know more than you think
So call us freaks
'Cause that's just the way we roll
That's just the way we roll
Oh That's just the way we roll

Jonas Brothers - Tonight

Well, here we are again
Throwing punchlines, no one wins
As the morning sun begins to rise, we're fading fast
And we won't work this out

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out)
No, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye)
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonight

Every single word's been said (Whoa oh oh)
Broke each other's hearts again (Oh whoa oh)
As the starlit sky begins to shine, we're breaking down
She screams out

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out)
No, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye)
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonight

(Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh,)
We don't have to fight
Tonight
(Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh,)
We just gotta try
Tonight
We don't have to fight
Tonight
We just gotta try
TONIGHT

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight

No, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye)
'Cause we're not gonna work this out
Tonight

Well, there's no need to fight, we're just wasting time

If you give it a try well then maybe you'll find

Well, we know we're in love so let's keep it alive
(Keep it alive, keep it alive)
(Tonight)
I'm starting to see the morning light
We finally worked this out

Jonas Brothers - Video Girl

OMG, did you hear I'm dating a Jonas Brother?
It's so hot

You met in work, you should've known better
It's gonna suck when the camera stops rolling
And you'll find out soon that the treatment wasn't worth it

They're all the same, they all want the money
They're all insane, they live for fame, honey
They laugh at you when you're not even being funny

Well, I've been here before
And I've seen firsthand and front row seat
This little thing they call a video girl

Video girl rocked my world for a whole two seconds
And now I know I'm not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome

Get out of my face, get out of my space
Get some class and kiss the past
'Cause I'm not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome

You know it's bad when your mama doesn't like her
All your friends sayin' she's a liar
Never ending phone calls aren't enough
It's not enough, it's never enough

Move to LA, got no talent
Not even like you won a Miss Teen pageant
Daddy pays your bills but you still whine

Well, I've been here before
And I've seen firsthand and front row seat
What happens to a man when he gets in the hands of a

Video girl rocked my world for a whole two seconds
And now I know I'm not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome

Get out of my face, get out of my space
Get some class and kiss the past
'Cause I'm not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome

You are never gonna see me miss her
Video girl syndrome
I'm not gonna be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome

Video girl rocked my world for a whole two seconds
And now I know I'm not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome

Get out of my face, get out of my space
Get some class and kiss the past
I'm not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome
I won't be a victim
Of the video girl syndrome

Jonas Brothers - Burnin' Up

I'm hot, you're cold
You go around like you know
Who I am, but you don't
You've got me on my toes

I'm slippin' into the lava
And I'm tryin' keep from goin' under
Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?
'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby
C'mon girl

I fell so fast
Can't hold myself back
High heels, red dress
All by yourself, gotta catch my breath

I'm slippin' into the lava
And I'm tryin' keep from goin' under
Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?
'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby

Walk in the room all I can see is you
Oh, you're starin' me down I know you feel it too

I'm slippin' into the lava
And I'm tryin' keep from goin' under
Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?
'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby

Slippin' into the lava
And I'm tryin' keep from goin' under
Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?
'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby

Yo, we're burnin' up in this place tonight
Your Brothers sing it loud and we're feelin' right
Get up and dance, don't try and fight it
Big Rob is for real and that's no lie

Stop, drop and roll and touch your toes
It keeps on burnin' up, more and more
I got JB with me playin' it down
Come on boys, let's bring the chorus around

I'm slippin' into the lava
And I'm tryin' keep from goin' under
Baby, who turned the temperature hotter?
'Cause I'm burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby
Burnin' up, burnin' up for you baby

Jonas Brothers - Bb Good

I'll pick you up at 7
We can drive around and see a movie
Every scene will have a meaning
But you'll be the one that moves me

I've been hurt before
So baby promise that you're gonna be true
I'm gonna be be good so tell me that you're gonna be good too

Yeah!

(CHORUS)
You gotta be be good to me
I'm gonna be be good to you
We'll be happy as can be
Just gotta be be good to me, baby!

I'm gonna treat you right
We'll never fight
Now baby you can trust me
When I hold you tight
I feel alright
I guess that I'm just lucky

I've been hurt before
So baby promise that you're gonna be true oh
I'm gonna be be good so tell me that you're gonna be good too

Oh!

(CHORUS)
You gotta be be good to me
I'm gonna be be good to you
We'll be happy as can be
Just gotta be be good to me
Baby!

(Talks)
Listen girl, you gotta be good
I don't wanna hurt you

Yeah!

Come on, come on, come over here!

(CHORUS x2)

We'll be happy as can be
Just gotta be be good to me

C'mon! C'mon!

YEAH!

(Talks)
Listen girl, you're out of control
I think you and me
Would be a great
Cou-ple

Yeah

Thursday - Resuscitation of a Dead Man

Ambulance, let me in
Don't make me stay here
Ambulance, hold your breath
We're running short on air
Ambulance, resuscitate

At the edge
You see clearly
I was dead
Now I'm back to life
And love is a fragile thing
We all stand on a bridge
That's been slowly burning down

Ambulance, take me back
To the house I was born in
Ambulance, finish it
Don't wake me up again
Ambulance, resuscitate

At the edge
You see clearly
I was dead
Now I'm back to life
And love is a fragile thing
We all stand on a bridge
That's been slowly burning

Breathe in, breathe out
Resuscitate
We can't go on hearing this
Are we clear
Send a car, take him back
Clear
Just one more time
Breathe in, breathe in
While there's still time

We could be the heartbeat
Of everything nine tenths collapsed
Come back to life
We could be the breath of air
Just get to the lungs of the dying
Can you feel a pulse
It's been stopped for so long
Can you start it
Can you feel a pulse
It's been stopped for so long
Let's restart it
With a gentle hand
With a thousand voices
With a single word

When alone
You see clearly
I would know
Now I want to live and love
All these fragile things
We all stand on a bridge
That's been slowly burning down

Thursday - Love Has Led Us Astray

They sold the old house
Boarded up the rooms just the way you wanted
They sold your possessions
Gave them all away with the guns
You sing like the wind in the trees at night
You think I'm asleep but I'm awake for it
You think you can hide so easily
That noone ever hears you

And I say love has led us astray
Love won't let us sleep

First we're cut from the cloth in perfect shapes
Then we're tied in a knot and we're left to fray
Can you even see what you're doin to me
You sleep in the leaves and I can't wake you up
You float like a reed in the river bank
If I dive too deep I can't hear you
But everyone else does

And love has led us astray
Love won't let us sleep
And love has led us astray
Love won't let us sleep

And love has led us astray
Love won't let us sleep
And love has led us astray
Love won't let us sleep

Astray, astray, astray
Astray, astray, astray
First we're cut from the cloth in perfect shapes
Then we're tied in a knot and we're left to fray
Love has led us astray

Thursday - As He Climbed The Dark Mountain

Watched him walk away (watched him walk away)
Climb the endless shadow side
Watched him holding on
(watched him holding on) (watched him walk away)

It was a thousand years, a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes
With no goodbye
Disappear from me (a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes)
Hold on!
As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain

Let the mountain sleep
In the past with all our bad dreams

Was it a metaphor for all the subtle ways we would grow apart?
Was it mortality?

Climbing and plunged right off of the edge of his life!
Into the hands of a loving God, oh reaching forward to get torn apart
With his hands in the air, was he laughing and dancing or only just trying to wave ‘Goodbye’!

Say a prayer for me (Hold on!)
As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain
Let the mountain fall
Struck me down until I can’t go on

Let go! Let me fall down! onto! the ground

Don't leave
Go on alone

It felt like a thousand years
It was a thousand miles away
It was a thousand miles away

Morrissey - That's How People Grow Up

I was wasting my time
Trying to fall in love
Disappointment came to me and
Booted me and bruised and hurt me

But that's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

I was wasting my time
Looking for love
Someone must look at me and
See their sunlit dream
I was wasting my time
Praying for love
For a love that never comes
From someone who does not exist

And that's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

Let me live
Before I die
No not me
Not I

I was wasting my life
Always thinking about myself
Someone on their deathbed said
There are other sorrows too

I was driving my car
I crashed and broke my spine
So yes there are things worse in life than
Never being someone's sweetie

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

That's how people grow up
That's how people grow up

As for me I'm okay
For now anyway

Morrissey - Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed

Mama, why did you do it?
Mama, who drove you to it?
was it the pigs in grey suits
persecuting you?
uncivil servants unconcerned at how they frighten you?

Life is nothing much to lose
it's just so lonely here without you
Mama, why did you do it?
Mama, who drove you to it?

spare priggish money-men who scared the life out of you
bailiffs with bad-breath
I will slit their throats for you
Life is nothing much to lose

it's just so lonely here
without you, Mama
Life is nothing much to lose
it's just so lonely here without you, so

we're gonna run to you
we're gonna come to you
we're gonna lie down
beside you, Mama

we're gonna be with you
we're gonna join you
we're gonna lie down
beside you, Mama

and we will be safe and sheltered in our graves
we'll come before you
and we will kiss you
by way of one final hug, Mama

Morrissey - I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris

In the absence of your love
and in the absence of human touch
I have decided
I'm throwing my arms around
around Paris because, only stone and steel
accept my love

in the absence of your smiling face
I've traveled all over the place
and I have decided
I'm throwing my arms around
around Paris because, only stone and steel
accept my love

I'm throwing my arms around
around Paris because, only stone and steel
accept my love

I'm throwing my arms around
Paris because nobody wants my love
nobody wants my love, nobody needs my love
nobody wants my love.

yes you made yourself plain
yes you made yourself very plain

Morrissey - All You Need Is Me

ou hiss and groan and you constantly moan
But you don't ever go away
That's because
All you need is me

You roll your eyes up to the skies
Mock horrified
But you're still here
All you need is me

There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is
Complain about me

You bang your head against the wall
And say you're sick of it all
Yet you remain
'Cause all you need is me

And then you offer your one and only joke
And you ask me what will I be
When I grow up to be a man
Uhm, nothing!

There's a soft voice singing in your head
Who could this be?
I do believe it's me

There's a naked man standing, laughing in your dreams
You know who it is
But you don't like what it means

There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is
Complain about me

I was a small, fat child in a council house
There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
And Fate has just
Handed it to me - whoopee

You don't like me, but you love me
Either way you're wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

The Fray - Where The Story Ends

Trying not to lose my head but I have never been this scared before
Tell you what I’ll do instead, lay my body down on the floor
To forget what I’ve done, silhouette til the good lord come
All we know is distance

We’re close and then we run
Kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one
Trying not to lose your own, boxing up everything, you’ve got

All you ever knew of home, you’re scared scared to see
Your mother there in the door, you wonder where did the years go
All we know is distance
We’re close and then we run

Kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one
But this is how the story ends
Or have we just begun

To kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one
The violins make no sound
And I begin to feel the ground

All we know is distance
We’re close and then we run
Kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one

But this is where the story ends
Or have we just begun
To kiss away the difference
I know you hate this one

The Fray - We Build Then We Break

I don't know you but I know what you did to her
She told me and I happen to believe her too

They will be 3 steps behind
You will not know what's got you
Oh so you're sorry now
All is not well, it's not ended

Hold your breath til its over
There's something left underwater

You've been quiet, there are things that you do not speak of
But if you stay gone a little longer your keys won't work

Cause I will be 2 steps behind
You will not know what's got you
Oh so you're sorry now
All is not well, it's not ended

Hold your breath til its over
There's something left underwater

The Fray - Ungodly Hour

Don't talk, don't say a thing
Cause your eyes they tell me more than your words
Don't go, don't leave me now
Cause they say the best way out is through

And I am short on words knowing what's occurred
She begins to leave because of me

Her bag is now much heavier
I wish that I could carry her
But this is our ungodly hour

I know you're leaving now
Cause I held on to my way tightly
Stay still until you know
Tomorrow finds the best way out is through

And I am short on words knowing what's occurred
She begins to leave because of me

Her bag is now much heavier
I wish that I could carry her
But this is our ungodly hour

The Fray - Syndicate

Halfway around the world
Lies the one thing that you want
Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down
First thing that arises in your mind while you awake
Bending you til you break
Let me hold you now

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Baby don't forget
You haven't lost it all yet

Don't know what your made of
Til the one thing that you want
To come in with the dawn and suddenly changes
Monday, syndicate me, its everyone the same
But all we've lost to the flame
Listen to me now

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Don't ever forget
We haven't lost it all yet
All we know for sure
Is all that we are fighting for
Baby don't forget
We haven't lost it all yet

Someday when this is over
We mix it up, no answer
For now its when I hold her
We are closer, we are closer
We are closer, we are closer

Baby close your eyes
Don't open til the morning light
Don't ever forget
We haven't lost it all yet
And all we know for sure
Is all that we are fighting for
Baby don't forget
We haven't lost it all yet

We are closer
we are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
Now we are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
We are closer

The Fray - Say When

I see you there, don't know where you come from
Unaware but you're still from someone
Don't Appear to care that I saw you, and I want you
What's your name? Cause I have to know it
You let me in and begin to show it
I'm terrified cause you're headed straight for it, might Get it

Hear the song playin on background
All alone but you're turnin up now
And everyone is risin to meet ya, to greet you
Turn around and you're walkin toward me
I'm breakin down and you're breathin slowly
Say the word and I will be your man, your man, say when

(Chorus)
And my own two hands will comfort you tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you tonight, tonight

Come close and then even closer
We bring it in but we go no further
We're seperate two ghosts in one mirror, no mearer
Later on if it turns to chaos, hurricane comin all around us
See the crack, pull it back from the window, you stay low, say when

(Chorus)
And my own two hands will comfort you tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you tonight, tonight

Come across you're lost and broken
You're coming to, but you're slow and waking
You Start to shake, you still haven't spoken, what happened
They're comin back and you just don't know it
and you wanna cry but there's nothin comin
They're gonna push until you give in, say when
Now we're here and it turns to chaos, hurricane comin all around us
They're gonna crack, don't you back from the window, you stay slow
It all began with the man and country
Every plan turns another century around again
And another nation fallen

Maybe god can be on both sides of the gun
never gone, understood why some of us never get it so good, so good
Some are less fortunate than us
All the less we'll go after us
Never stops until we give in, give in, say when

(Chorus)
And my own two hands will comfort you tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you tonight, tonight
say when

Outro
And my own two hands will comfort you tonight, tonight...

The Fray - Never Say Never

Some things we don't talk about
better do without
just hold a smile
we're falling in and out of love
the same damn problem

together all the while
you can never say never
when we don't know why
time and time again
younger now then we were before

don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go

picture you're the queen of everything
as far as the i can see
under your command
i will be your gardening
when all is crumbling
steady your hand

you can never say never
when we don't know why
time and time again
younger now then we were before
don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go

we're falling apart
and coming together again and again
we're coming apart
but we hold it together
hold it together, together again

don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go,
don't let me go(x2)

The Fray - Happiness

Happiness is just outside my window
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone- not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that's enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar

Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you'll never find it all
Let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she'll be home
Home, home, home

The Fray - Enough For Now

The daughter's father watches, quietly we assume
He's not longer with us but he left this dusty room
In your name and it’s an honor, it’s a shame but it’s your honor
Take it on your shoulder til you can find another

That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
He should've held you, things your father never could do
That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
He would've held you, things your father never told you

The century before you never could turn 21
Years and years he waited just watching for a son
For someone to go ahead, take the name he said
Years and years he waited and a daughter came instead

But that's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
He should've held you, things your father never could do
That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
He would've held you, things your father never told you

Breathing comes in pairs
Except for twice
One begins and one's goodbye

Sixty years of sorrow he got 5 or 6 of bliss
Left my mother’s mother without so much as a kiss

But that's enough for now, he never wanted to leave you broken
He would've held you, things your father never told you
That's enough for now, I would've never left you broken
I would've held you, things your father never could do
Words your father never told you

Sixty years of sorrow, he got 5 or 6 of bliss
Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss

The Fray - Absolute

I’ve seen this one before, the girl she gets away
Everybody knows it but no one tries to stop it
Cause she barely even knows him but if she could see inside
Everything is quiet as she waits to tell him who she is

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but I’m sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

It’s a kiss sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battle ships
She wants to be a dancer and he has got a picture
On his wall and it’s a sailor in a new port every night
Yet man was born to trouble like sparks fly upwards innocent

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but I’m sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

All we are and all we want
40 years come and gone
All we are in photographs
Will never be taken

Quiet but I’m sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want you here
Quiet but I’m sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear
