Good Life - One Republic

June 16, 2011

Song Title: Good Life
Artist: One Republic

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
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We’re young enough to say

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, “Oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight”
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don’t know
Where I’ve been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’ t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We are God of stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

When you’re happy like a fool, let it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take it in

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh, a good, good life, yeah

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I’ll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick

Hopelessly
I’m taking a mental picture of you now
‘Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, “Oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight”
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh yeah, good, good life, good life, oh, this is

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don’t know
Where I’ve been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’ t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We are God of stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

Stop and Stare - One Republic

June 12, 2008

Song Title: Stop and Stare
Artist: One Republic

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 u need, what u 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 u see what I see…

Apologize - One Republic

May 11, 2008

Song Title: Apologize
Artist: One Republic

I’m holdin’ 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!

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.. like an angel
Heaven let me think was you…
But I’m afraid…

It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
I said it’s too late
to apologize
It’s too late.. Whoa!

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.
