Boys In The Street lyrics - A Great Big World
(originally by Greg Holden)
When I was younger
My daddy told me I would never
Never amount to nothing special
He'd come at me from every angle
He'd say
"You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
My son was kissing boys in the street"
He tried to change me
Said I'm embarrassing my country
How could I do this to my family
Do I wanna grow up being lonely
He'd say
"We've worked for our money, we put you in school
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"
Now that I'm older
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
But he still won't hug me like my brother
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
He'd say
"You're a part of this family, I made you myself
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"
My daddy's dying
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
We sit in silence but we're smiling
Because for once we are not fighting
He said
"There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street"
This Is Magic lyrics - A Great Big World
So many colours that I swear I've never seen before
The same old music but with you it strikes a different chord
Hey boy, I feel like myself when I'm around you
So real, there's nobody else now that I found you
Guess I'm a sucker for a certain kind of city love
Millions of people, only one that I'm thinking of
Hey boy, I don't know what it is about you
I swear, the winter was colder here without you
This is magic
This is magic
This is magic
This is magic
You make me feel like I'm a kid inside a candy store
A sugar rush straight to my heart, a taste I can't ignore, yeah, oh
Hey boy, I don't know what it is about you
I swear the winter was colder here without you
This is magic
This is magic
This is magic
This is magic
Baby, I don't wanna lose this feeling
Baby, you're knocking me off my feet
This music's crazy
Your body's all I need and I want more (Ooh)
Baby, so come and dance on over
Baby, and rock with me to the beat
This music's crazy
Just a little closer, I'm all yours
This is magic
This is magic (Ah yeah)
This is magic (You and me, baby)
This is magic (Magic)
This is magic (Hey boy, I feel like myself when I'm around you)
This is magic (Hey boy, there's nobody else now that I found you)
This is magic, ooh magic
This is magic, ooh magic
This is magic, ooh magic
This is magic, this is magic
When I Was A Boy lyrics - A Great Big World
When I was a boy, I had a dream
All about the things I'd like to be
Soon as I was in my bed
Music played inside my head
When I was a boy, I had a dream
When I was a boy, I learned to play
Far into the night and drift away
Don't want to work on the milk or the bread
Just want to play my guitar instead
When I was a boy, I had a dream
And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days when there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream
When I was a boy, I had a dream
Finding out what life could really mean
Don't want a job cause it drives me crazy
Just wanna sing, "Do you love me, baby?"
When I was a boy, I had a dream
And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days when there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream
When I was a boy
You lyrics - A Great Big World
Way beyond the stars was a dream there waiting
For a dreamer to dream her
Barely just a spark in the open darkness of the ether
The world beneath her
I never could imagine
How my life would change the day you came
And how all my fears and worries would just wash away
I never saw it coming, then one day all of a sudden
There was you, you, you, you
I don't have to live without you anymore
How could it be so, that a heart this full
Could burst wide open, be re-awoken?
Little did I know, what a simple thought could set in motion
A drop in the ocean
I've never seen the flowers or a sky so blue, it's all brand new
Like the sun on the horizon coming into view
I spent my whole life running, then one day all of a sudden
There was you, you, you, you
There was you, you, you, you
I don't have to live without you anymore
I never saw it coming, then one day all of a sudden
There was you, you, you, you
There was you, you, you, you
I don't have to live without you anymore
I don't have to live without you anymore
Younger lyrics - A Great Big World
I wish I was younger
The fat kid with the big blue eyes full of wonder
No shame, no fame, no worries, the king of wiffle ball (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Without a care at all
I wish I was younger
Keeping track of the lightning strikes and the thunder
Barely thirteen, no hurry, my feet over the wall (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
It doesn't matter if I fall
I wish I was younger
I wish I was younger
I wish I was younger
Barbies and fashion shows with my brother
So clear, no fear, no bullies, I didn't even know (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Where did all that magic go?
I remember third grade, shades, new rollerblades
4 foot 2, feeling 10 foot 8
Classic Mario
I remember charades, your braids, my first date
Working at the pool, barely ever getting paid
Heh
Do you remember those days?
I wish I was younger
Getting high with my friends outside in the summer!
Never cool, never had a lot of money, but damn we had it all (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
We had it all!
I wish I was younger
I wish I was younger
I wish I was younger
I wish I was younger
Butterflies in my chest when I asked for your number
You smiled and said, "You're funny"
Two words and I was gone (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
You wrote it on my arm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
I swear we set off the alarm (oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Do you remember making out in the stands?
Showin' up late and getting kicked out of band
Poor Mr. Kafer never could under understand
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
Do you remember riding home in the rain?
That Sunday morning playing songs about Jane?
And from that moment I was never the same
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
Just take me back to who I was when I was younger
All I Want Is Love lyrics - A Great Big World
Fear
You're just a name that I have learned
Another way for me to turn
And you brought me here
And it took years for me to find
That you were only in my mind
I've been looking in the wrong place
Couldn't see what I've always known
I was facing the wrong way
I missed it all, I missed it all
I don't care what they all say
Let me find my own way home
I don't care if my heart breaks
All I want is love
Hope
You're just a name that I hold close
There when I needed you the most
And you brought me here
Where I can learn to love myself
Without the love of someone else
I've been looking in the wrong place
Couldn't see what I've always known
I was facing the wrong way
I missed it all, I missed it all
I don't care what they all say
Let me find my own way home
I don't care if my heart breaks
All I want is love
All I want is love
All I want is love
I don't care what they all say
I don't care if my heart breaks
I don't care what they all say (all I want is love)
I don't care if my heart breaks
I don't care if my heart breaks
I've been looking in the wrong place
Couldn't see what I've always known
I was facing the wrong way
I missed it all, I missed it all
I don't care what they all say
Let me find my own way home
I don't care if my heart breaks
All I want is love
I don't care what they all say (all I want is love)
I don't care if my heart breaks (all I want is love)
I don't care what they all say (all I want is love)
I don't care if my heart breaks
All I want is love
Kaleidoscope lyrics - A Great Big World
My life
My life was black and white and I believed it
I believed it
My eyes
My eyes looked at the world but couldn't see it
I couldn't see it
You're like the thing that makes the universe explode
Into the colors of a world I've never known
You keep turning, keep turning my life around
Violets and purples
Diamonds and circles
You're my kaleidoscope
I love every minute
You've got me in it
You're my kaleidoscope
Hey la nah nah oh
You keep turning, keep turning my life around
Hey la nah nah oh
You keep turning, keep turning my life around
Tonight
The stars are in your eyes and I surrender
I surrender
Tonight
Our hands against the wind, we are forever
We are forever
It all looks better when I see it with you here
You keep turning, keep turning my life around
Violets and purples
Diamonds and circles
You're my kaleidoscope
I love every minute
You've got me in it
You're my kaleidoscope
Hey la nah nah oh
You keep turning, keep turning my life around
Hey la nah nah oh
You keep turning, keep turning my life around
I closed my eyes to the orange skies
Living all of my days the same
Then you came along, and you sang your song
And the whole world around me changed
Violets and purples
Diamonds and circles
You're my kaleidoscope
I love every minute
You've got me in it
You're my kaleidoscope
Hey la nah nah oh
You keep turning, keep turning my life around
(You're my kaleidoscope)
Hey la nah nah oh
You keep turning, keep turning my life around
(You're my kaleidoscope)
Woah
Woah
Woah
You're my kaleidoscope
Hey la nah nah oh
(Woah)
Woah
You're my kaleidoscope
End Of The World lyrics - A Great Big World
I'm gonna love you (love you)
I'm gonna love you (love you)
I'm gonna love you (love you)
Like it's the end of the world
I wanna remember the shape of your lips
Cause I wouldn't miss breathing as much as your kiss
If the streets were on fire, well, we'd never know
We'd be lost in each other instead of the smoke
Baby, let's go out with a bang
We could be the last love song ever sang
I'm gonna love you (love you)
Love you like it's the end of the world
I'm gonna hold you (hold you)
Hold you as long as I can in this world
So let's cheers to the moments of beauty we've found
As the city burns to the ground
I'm gonna love you (love you)
I'm gonna love you (love you)
We'll live forever; they'll study our bones
Write stories about us and carve us in stone
So they can remember what true love was like
But this isn't about them; it's just us tonight
Baby, let's go out with a bang
We could be the last love song ever sang
I'm gonna love you (love you)
Love you like it's the end of the world
I'm gonna hold you (hold you)
Hold you as long as I can in this world
So let's cheers to the moments of beauty we've found
As the city burns to the ground
I'm gonna love you (love you)
I'm gonna love you (love you)
Be here now as the skies crash down
Watch the world fade away (watch it fade away)
Cause what we've found never comes around
Let it burn up in flames (let it all go up in flames)
I'm gonna love you (love you) (Be here now)
Love you like it's the end of the world (As the sky's falling down)
I'm gonna hold you (hold you) (Let it burn)
Hold you as long as I can in this world (up in flames)
I'm gonna love you (love you) (Be here now)
Love you like it's the end of the world (As the sky's falling down)
I'm gonna hold you (hold you) (Let this all)
Hold you as long as I can in this world (fade away)
(Love love love love you)
Hold Each Other lyrics - A Great Big World (feat. Futuristic)
I miss the words we used to say
I miss the sounds of yesterday
I miss the games we used to play like ohhh
I was trapped inside a dream
I couldn't see her next to me
I didn't know she'd set me free like ohhh
Something happens when I hold her
She keeps my heart from getting older
When the days get short and the nights get a little bit colder
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
Everything looks different now
All this time my head was down
He came along and showed me how to let go
I can't remember where I'm from
All I know is who I've become
That our love has just begun like ohhh
Something happens when I hold him
He keeps my heart from getting broken
When the days get short and the nights get a little bit frozen
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
[Futuristic:]
If I'm stressing you that blessing that's sent from heaven
These days start to feel like hours and hours feel more like seconds
People judged us they couldn't see the connection
When I look at you, it's like I'm looking back at my reflection
I don't see nothing different, our pigments they coincide
We hold each other so tight they couldn't break us if they tried
My eyes are those of the blind, I see no color or size
I feel the love in your touch and I trust what's inside your mind, ok
I know that we've been through a lot
I know that we both grew up
You know I missed you a lot
When I was young I was dumb
Didn't think you'd fit in my plot
And I appreciate the break because I love what we got now
You give me chills and I can't imagine you leaving
If I could build a perfect person honestly you would be it
And you know nobody knows you like I know you
I can't wait to come back home so I can hold you
Something happens when I hold her
She keeps my heart from getting older
When the days get short and the nights get a little bit colder
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
Oasis lyrics - A Great Big World
Don't cry
You're mine
For forever
For forever
I need
You now
More than ever
More than ever
Head full of lies
Sun in my eyes
You make it easy
Don't look away
These are the days
You gotta believe me
When we're lost in a desert night
And we're chasing our paradise
When we can't fight another fight
We're gonna make it
You're my oasis
You're my oasis
You're my oasis
You're my oasis
This life
Is made
For each other
For each other
Crossed lines
Mistakes
There's no other
There's no other
Head full of lies
Sun in my eyes
You make it easy
Nowhere to go
I'm already home
You gotta believe me
When we're lost in a desert night
And we're chasing our paradise
When we can't fight another fight
We're gonna make it
You're my oasis
You're my oasis
You're my oasis
You're my oasis
As I roam through the wasteland
You're the one thing I need
I see you off in the distance
You're my oasis
You're my oasis
When we're lost in a desert night
And we're chasing our paradise
When we can't fight another fight
We're gonna make it, make it, make it make it
When we're lost in a desert night
And we're chasing our paradise
When we can't fight another fight
We're gonna make it, make it, make it, make it
You're my oasis
You're my oasis
You're my oasis
You're my oasis
Come On lyrics - A Great Big World
I wanna be a thought inside your mind
I wanna see the starlight through your eyes
What's it like?
Drive underneath the night you'll be the glow
No matter where we are, it feels like home
Say it's so
Say you'll go with me tonight
Come on, move in just a little closer
Come on, show me what it's like
Come on, don't wait 'til the moment's over
Come on
Time suspended in slow motion, not a sound
Walking on a wire above the ground
Don't look down
And say you'll go with me tonight
Come on, move in just a little closer
Come on, show me what it's like
Come on, don't wait till the moment's over
Come on
Oh, show me what I don't know
Show me how to let go
I've been waiting
Won't Stop Running lyrics - A Great Big World
Facing forward
Lights out
I won't stop running
Falling backwards
Hands tied
I won't stop running
I'll take another sunrise
Another hand to hold tight
This isn't over
I am way too young and I won't stop running
I don't know how much longer I can fake it
That it's all alright, that I can do this alone
And I know that life is what you make it
But it's hard to see stars when you're always caught in the folds
Every night in my mind it's a fight
But I won't stop dreaming
'Cause this isn't over
It's never over
Facing forward
Lights out
I won't stop running
Falling backwards
Hands tied
I won't stop running
I'll take another sunrise
Another hand to hold tight
This isn't over
I am way too young and I won't stop running
I'd rather be the one that starts the fire
Than to shut my mouth and be the one who gets burned
Yeah "it is what it is," but I wanna go higher
'Cause I felt it once before
I believe the tables will turn
I wanna love and be the one who is loved
No I won't stop dreaming
'Cause this isn't over
It's never over
Facing forward
Lights out
I won't stop running
Falling backwards
Hands tied
I won't stop running
I'll take another sunrise
Another hand to hold tight
This isn't over
I am way too young and I won't stop running
How do you explain it?
For seven years I made it through the falls
I'm living it all
Living it all
I'm tearing off the labels
And suddenly I'm able, scaling walls
I'm living it all
Living it all
And I won't stop running
One Step Ahead lyrics - A Great Big World
How many times
Did I miss the signs?
My stupid heart
It left me blind
Nobody else would forgive my mistakes
Nobody else would've stayed
One step ahead of me
You saw what we could be
How did you know
Down in your bones
That I'd come around?
One step ahead always
Guiding me through my haze
Was too scared to see
What this could mean
But I see it now
I see it now
How could I
Ever be enough?
Worthy of
Someone else's love?
All of my hang-ups and all of my fears
You made them all disappear
One step ahead of me
You saw what we could be
How did you know
Down in your bones
That I'd come around?
One step ahead always
Guiding me through my haze
Was too scared to see
What this could mean
But I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
Nobody else would forgive my mistakes
Nobody else would have stayed
One step ahead of me
You saw what we could be
How did you know
Down in your bones
That I'd come around?
One step ahead always
Guiding me through my haze
Was too scared to see
What this could mean
But I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
The Future's Right In Front Of Me lyrics - A Great Big World
I spent my life trying to answer to the voice inside my head
But all I found were empty questions from a time that I forget
I learned my lesson, it was wrong of me to look so far ahead
I'll count my blessings one by one, I'll live a life I won't regret
And now I finally see the future's right in front of me, yeah
And now I finally see the future's right in front of me, yeah
I walked alone, I was scared of who I knew that I could be
But there was beauty in the darkest parts of my uncertainty
And now I finally see the future's right in front of me, yeah
And now I finally see the future's right in front of me,yeah
I feel it beating in my heart
The future's right in front of me, yeah
I feel it beating in my heart
The future's right in front of me, yeah
When The Morning Comes lyrics - A Great Big World
What happened before
Was a waste of time
I don't care anymore
I wanna move on
There is so much more
Than who's right or who's wrong
Oh oh oh
We can shake it
Oh oh oh
Let the pieces fall
Oh oh oh
We can take it
I believe
I believe
I believe
When the lights go out
And the bombs come down
I will hear your heart beating
When the morning comes
And the war is done
You will hear my heart beating
It happened so fast
The way it tore right through
Can't erase what has passed
But we're still alive
In a world that
Wants to keep us inside
Oh oh oh
We can shake it
Oh oh oh
And let the pieces fall
Oh oh oh
We're gonna make it
I believe
I believe
I believe
When the lights go out
And the bombs come down
I will hear your heart beating
When the morning comes
And the war is done
You will hear my heart beating
When the lights go out
And the bombs come down
I will hear your heart beating
When the morning comes
And the war is done
You will hear my heart beating
You will hear my heart beating
I will hear your heart beating
Where Does The Time Go lyrics - A Great Big World
Where does the time go?
I don't want this to end
Where does the time go?
Let's hang on to the moment we're in
Of all the things we will remember
The good, the bad, and all the blessings in disguise
Today will stick with me forever
Even if we have to say goodbye
Where does the time go?
I keep losing track
Where does the time go?
We're too young to get lost looking back
Life doesn't always give us answers
Some dots they won't connect until the years go by
If we're not meant to be together
Some day we'll know the reasons why
Of all the things we will remember
The good, the bad, and all the blessings indisguise
Today will stick with me forever
Even if we have to say goodbye
Where does the time go?
I don't want this to end
Where does the time go?
Let's hang on to the moment we're in
