Go sound go safe


Artist: Ingrid Michaelson
Song: Open Hands
Album: Lights Out

ingridmichaelson.com

Nobody wants to be the only one that's left standing
Nobody wants to be the only one to understand
And now I'm seeing the way that you're leaving without me

Now go on and drift away
The tide can hold you out
Go quiet now
Go sound go safe
Open hands are hard to hold onto anyway
Anyway

Everybody wants the one to make them live forever
And nobody wants to be the only one to say they can't
And now I'm seeing the way that you're leaving without me

Now go on and drift away
The tide can hold you out
Go quiet now
Go sound go safe
Open hands are hard to hold onto anyway
Anyway

Now go on and drift away
The tide can hold you out
Go quiet now
Go sound go safe
Open hands are hard to hold onto anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway

Now go on and drift away
The tide can hold you out
Go quiet now
Go sound go safe
Open hands are hard to hold onto anyway
Open hands are hard to hold onto anyway
Open hands are hard to hold onto anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway

simmer down and pucker up

Artist: Arctic Monkeys
Song: Do I Wanna Know
Album: AM

arcticmonkeys.com

Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift
The type that sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt. It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you (crawling back to you)

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (you've had a few)
'Cause I always do ('cause I always do)
Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through

Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darling?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?

these nights never seem to go to plan

Artist: Sam Smith
Song: Stay With Me
Album: In The Lonely Hour

amsmithworld.com

Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?


Oh, won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me


Why am I so emotional?
No it's not a good look, gain some self control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

sometimes you have to hurt for the cause to be reached



Artist: Angel Haze ft. Sia
Song: Battle Cry
Album: Dirty Gold



[Sia]
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky
Ouh-ouh


[Angel Haze]
It seems like yesterday that I was nothin'
Then all of a sudden I'm a volcanic eruption
Then all of a sudden it's like spontaneous combustion
And I'm all up in your face yellin': "Bitch, you can tell me nothin'."
Cause I came from the bottom, now everybody's watchin'
I said it was my time, now I'm who everybody's clockin'
And I'm just out here sprintin', I'm runnin' right through my vision
I'm trying to outrun my past, but still trying to defeat my limits
Cause you only get one moment in this life to be great
And you can give it your all despite what it takes
And you never let 'em kill you, you take everything they give you
And throw it right fuckin' at 'em and tell 'em it doesn't build you
And no it don't ever break you, and no it can't overtake you
Life's like a bed of roses, you take the thorns and you make do
Sometimes you have to hurt for the cause to be reached
But one day you'll be stronger than all that you beat
And you can say



[Sia]
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky
Ouh-ouh



[Angel Haze]
I woke up one Sunday morning, stopped believing in Jesus
Stopped believing in churches, I stopped believing in preachers
I realized I was a teacher, not just one of the heathens
I'm born to destroy the fallacies, start creating believers
Start creating the leaders, tell 'em who they should follow
Nobody but themselves, especially if they hollow
Especially when they empty and death reserves for fulfillment
You the only person alive who holds the key to your healin'
So you take it and you run with it
And keep going even when your sun's hidden
Because the time we spent in darkness when the rain come
Is where we often find the light soon as the pain's done
There ain't no material things in the world
That can change the fact that you feel alone
Despite the fact that it gets hard,
You take it all and you still go
Take the sun and you still grow,
Lose the light and you still glow
I been there, I'm still here and I know how you feel, so



[Sia]
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky
Ouh-ouh



[Bridge]
We don't wanna fight
So sing with me your battle cry
Sing with me your battle cry
Ouh-ouh
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh



[Angel Haze]
It's hard to explain my way of living to people who never lived it
A minute in my position filled with my opposition
That anybody not different fighting to stay the same
I got lives in my hands and I'm fighting to make 'em change
Couldn't accept responsibility, find somebody to blame
The emotions that I'm harboring 'bout to drive me insane
Tried to say fuck everything, but I ain't have a heart to
Rarely had a heart to do a lot of things I ought to
So now I spit it for people who say their cords missing
Inspire life into anybody that's forfeiting
Cause it's easy to keep pretending that there's nothing wrong
But it's harder to keep your head up and be fucking strong
So, now they tell me, "Go, Haze, they can't stop you.
Heavyweight flow, if they can't lift you then they can't drop you
The pinnacle, if they can't reach you then they can't drop you
Man, they can't do anything that you're about to."



[Sia]
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky
Ouh-ouh



We don't wanna fight
So sing with me your battle cry
Sing with me your battle cry
Ouh-ouh
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh

before it gets beautiful


Artist: Chris Brown
Song: Don't Judge Me
Album: Fortune

chrisbrownworld.com


I don't wanna go there
We should never go there
Why you wanna go there?
I guess I gotta go there


You're hearing rumours about me
And you can't stomach the thought
Of someone touching my body
When you're so close to my heart
I won't deny what they saying
Because most of it is true
But it was all before I fell for you


So please babe
So please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
Cause it could get ugly
Before it gets beautiful
Please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
And if you love me
Then let it be beautiful
Let it be beautifu-u-ul, let it be beautiful
Let it be beautifu-u-ul, let it be beautiful


Everything I say right now
Is gonna be used in another fight
And I've been through this so many times
Can we change the subject?
You gonna start asking me questions like:
"Was she attractive? Was she an actress?"
Baby the fact is


You're hearing rumours about me
And saw some pictures online
Saying they got you so angry
Making you wish you were blind
Before we start talking crazy
Saying some things we'll regret
Can we just slow it down and press reset.
You're beautiful


So please babe
So please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
Cause it could get ugly
Before it gets beautiful
Please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
And if you love me
Then let it be beautiful


Just let the past
Just be the past
And focus on things
That are gonna make us laugh
Take me as I am, not who I was
I'll promise I'll be, the one that you can trust


So please babe
So please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
Cause it could get ugly
Before it gets beautiful
Please don't judge me
And I won't judge you
And if you love me
Then let it be beautiful
Let it be beautiful 
Let it be beautiful ay
Let it be beautiful yeah 


I don't wanna go there baby yeah
We should never go there

As before I went under.


Song: Never Let Me Go
Artist: Florence + The Machine
Album: Ceremonials

florenceandthemachine.net

Looking out from underneath, 
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me, 
As before I went under.

And it's peaceful in the deep, 
Cathedral, where you cannot breathe, 
No need to pray, no need to speak 
Now I am under, Oh.

And it's breaking over me, 
A thousand miles onto the sea bed, 
Found the place to rest my head.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me, 
And all this devotion was rushing out of me, 
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me, 
The arms of the ocean deliver me.

Though the pressure's hard to take, 
It's the only way I can escape, 
It seems a heavy choice to make, 
But now I am under, Oh.

And it's breaking over me, 
A thousand miles down to the sea bed, 
Found the place to rest my head.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/florence_and_the_machine/never_let_me_go.html ]
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me, 
And all this devotion was rushing out of me, 
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me, 
The arms of the ocean deliver me.

And it's over, 
And I'm going under, 
But I'm not giving up! 
I'm just giving in.

Oh, slipping underneath.
Oh, so cold, but so sweet.

In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold, 
And all this devotion I never knew at all, 
And the crashes are Heaven, for a sinner released, 
And the arms of the ocean, 
Deliver me.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

Deliver me.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

Deliver me.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.

And it's over, 
And I'm goin' under, 
But I'm not givin' up! 
I'm just givin' in.

Oh, slipping underneath.
Oh, so cold, but so sweet

moving slow to the sadness.


Artist: Augustana
Song: Fire
Album: Can't Love, Can't Hurt

augustanamusic.com

No it don't come easy
No it don't come fast
Lock me up inside your garden
Take me to the riverside

Fire burning me up
Desire taking me so much higher
And leaving me whole

There you were in your black dress
Moving slow to the sadness
I could watch you dance for hours
I could take you by my side

Fire burning me up
Desire taking me so much higher
And leaving me

Fire turning me on
Desire taking me so much higher
And leaving me whole
