Rockstar lyrics - A Great Big World
There's a girl in the backyard bangin' on her drum
Sittin' in a junk pile laughing at the sun
Singin', "Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"
There's a boy in the backseat singin' to the song
Playin' on the radio, knowing he's the one
Singin', "Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"
Singin', "ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar!"
There's a girl in the tree top looking at the stars
Waiting for a touchdown comin' in from Mars
Thinkin', "Is there anybody out there?"
There's a boy thinking of her playin' his guitar
Searching for the answer buried in his heart
Thinkin', "Ah, ha ha, is there anybody out there?"
Singin', "Ah, ha ha, is there anybody out there?"
If there's a meaning can you show me a sign?
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why
And we're all getting older wishin' we were young
Hangin' on the memory of what we would become
Singin', "Ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar"
Singin', "Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"
Singin', "Ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar!"
If there's a meaning can you show me a sign?
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why
And maybe we will never figure it out
I got a feelin' that's what life's all about
I'm learning anything is possible now
Take a ticket and get off the line [x8]
Singing, "Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"
Singing, "Ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar"
Singing, "Ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"
Singing, "Ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar"
Land Of Opportunity lyrics - A Great Big World
I'm sailing away, to a Land of Opportunity.
The sun will shine, and birds will sing there everyday
I'm sailing away, and I hope that you remember me.
It was fun, we had our run. Hip hip hooray!
You said 'hello', I loved you so,
just like in a movie scene.
I want you to know, I had to let go,
I'm falling in love again.
I'm running away, to a place where you won't bother me.
We won't talk for a while, we'll be okay.
And I'm changing my name to a word that's really hard to say.
It's no one's fault, I'm just too young, and you're insane.
I wasted my time, I missed all the signs,
and it ruined my holiday.
I want you to know, I had to let go,
I'm falling in love again
I just gotta believe there's something better.
I just gotta believe there's something more than you and me.
I've just gotta believe, I've just gotta believe.
You said 'hello', I loved you so,
I felt like a kid again.
I want you to know, I had to let go
I'm falling in love again.
I just gotta believe there's something better.
I just gotta believe there's something more than you and me.
I've just gotta believe, I've just gotta believe.
I'm sailing away to a Land of Opportunity.
Already Home lyrics - A Great Big World
You say love is what you put into it
You say that I'm losing my will
Don't you know that you're all that I think about
You make up a half of the whole
You say that it's hard to commit to it
You say that it's hard standing still
Don't you know that I spend all my nights
Counting backwards the days 'til I'm home
If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise this city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
I say that we're right in the heart of it
A love only we understand
I will bend every light in this city
And make sure they're shining on you
If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise this city won't get in our way
And when you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
When life takes its own course
Sometimes we just don't get to choose
I'd rather be there next to you
Promise you'll wait for me
Wait for me
Wait 'til I'm home
All I have is this feeling inside of me
The only thing I've ever known
If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise this city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
If only New York wasn't so far away
I will be there every step of the way
And when you're scared and alone
Just know that I'm already home
Just know that I'm already home
I Really Want It lyrics - A Great Big World
[Verse 1]
So tell me what are we living for?
I say we chuck inhibitions
And sell our souls to rock and roll
I need to know what I'm missing
So turn it up on the stereo
Somebody light the ignition
What the hell are you waiting for?
It's time to make a decision
(Nah-oooh)
[Chorus]
I'm feeling the world go round
It's spinning me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not giving up
It's crawling under my skin
And I don't care if I sin
I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now
I really want it right now
[Verse 2]
If there's a maker up above
Then why is nobody listening
You show me hate, and I'll show you love
It's not about your religion
We're always lookin' to someone else
Just take a look in the mirror
'Cause all you need is inside yourself
It couldn't be any clearer
(Nah-oooh)
[Chorus]
I'm feeling the world go round
It's spinning me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not giving up
It's crawling under my skin
And I don't care if I sin
I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now
I really want it right now
[Bridge]
The more we love, the more we learn
The more we love, the more we burn
The more we love
So tell me what are we livin' for
I say we chuck inhibitions
And sell our souls to rock n' roll
I need to know what I'm missin'
[Chorus]
I'm feeling the world go round
It's spinning me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not giving up
It's crawling under my skin
And I don't care if I sin
I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now
I really want it right now
Say Something lyrics - A Great Big World
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one if you want me to
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I... am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I... will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I... will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere I would've followed you (Oh-Ooh)
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something...
You'll Be Okay lyrics - A Great Big World
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
The sun will rise
To better days
And change will come
It's on it's way
Just close your eyes
And let it rain
'Cause you're never alone
I will always be there
You just carry on
You will understand
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
Just look inside
You know the way
Let it go
Fly away
And say goodbye
To yesterday
'Cause you're never alone
And I will always be there
You just carry on
You will understand
And I will be strong
When love is gone
I'll carry on...
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
The sun will rise
To better days
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
Just close your eyes
And let it rain
When you need it the most
And all you've got is a prayer
You must carry on
You will understand
You will understand
You will understand
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
You'll be okay.
Everyone Is Gay lyrics - A Great Big World
If you're gay then you're gay
Don't pretend that you're straight
You could be who you are any day of the week
You are unlike the others
So strong and unique
We're all with you
If you're straight well that's great
You can help procreate
And make gay little babies
For the whole human race
Make a world we can live in
Where the one who you love's not an issue
'Cause we're all somewhere in the middle
We're all just looking for love to change the world
What if the world stops spinning tomorrow?
We can't keep running away from who we are
If you're gay then you're gay
If you're straight well that's great
If you fall in between that's the best way to be
You've got so many options
Every fish in the sea wants to kiss you
'Cause we're all somewhere in the middle
We're all just looking for love to change the world
What if the world stops spinning tomorrow?
We can't keep running away from who we are
And we're all here in it together
We're one step closer to breaking down the walls
Everyone is gay
Hooray!
Hooray
There Is An Answer lyrics - A Great Big World
I am just a sailor in a great big sea
Searching for what's meant for me
And I thank my lucky stars every single day
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
When the storm begins to blow
When I've lost my way back home
Oh, there is an answer
Oh, there is an answer
There is a ripple to every wave
A rhythm to the days and nights
And all our thoughts, they make the world go round
All our efforts multiply
Make a change, and you will see
One small step is all we need
Oh, there is an answer
Oh, there is an answer
There is no difference between you and me
It lies beyond our history
And if we only take the time to see we're all we need
Just take my hand, and see me as a brother
Look inside, and you will find
Love exists in every kind
Oh, there is an answer
Oh, there is an answer
Near or far, oh I believe that love will find us there
Through the dark, oh I believe that love will find us there
Oh, I believe that love will find us there
Oh, I believe that love will find us there
Oh, I believe that love will find us there
Oh, there is an answer
I Don't Wanna Love Somebody Else lyrics - A Great Big World
Oh, I built a world around you
Oh, you had me in a dream,
I lived in every word you said
The stars had aligned
I thought that I found you
And I don't wanna love somebody else
Oh, we left it all unspoken
Oh, we buried it alive
And now it's screaming in my head
Oh, I shouldn't go on hoping
Oh, that you will change your mind
And one day we could start again
Well I don't care if loneliness kills me
I don't wanna love somebody else
Oh
Oh, I thought that I could change you
Oh, I thought that we would be the greatest story that I tell
I know that it's time to tell you it's over
But I don't wanna love somebody else
No oh
This Is The New Year lyrics - A Great Big World
Another year you made a promise
Another chance to turn it all around
And do not save this for tomorrow
Embrace the past and you can live for now
And I will give the world to you
Speak louder than the words before you
And give them meaning no one else has found
The role we play is so important
We are the voices of the underground
And I would give the world to you
Say everything you've always wanted
Be not afraid of who you really are
Cause in the end we have each other
And that's at least one thing worth living for
And I would give the world to you
A million suns that shine upon me
A million eyes you are the brightest blue
Lets tear the walls down that divide us
And build a statue strong enough for two
I pass it back to you
And I will wait for you
Cause I would give the world
And I would give the world
And I would give the world to you
This is the new year
A new beginning
You made a promise
You are the brightest
We are the voices
This is the new year
We are the voices
This is the new year
Shorty Don't Wait lyrics - A Great Big World
Shorty don't wait in line
Shorty don't wait 'til the sun don't shine
Shorty don't wait in line
Shorty don't wait 'til your life goes by
When your heart don't feel like dancing
I'll be there to give you mine
When you lose that happy feeling
I will lift your spirits high
Shorty don't wait in line
Shorty don't wait 'til the sun don't shine
Shorty don't wait in line
Shorty don't wait 'til your life goes by
All those people who have hurt you
They ain't worth your precious time
When there's no one you can turn to
I'll be right there by your side
Shorty don't wait in line
Shorty don't wait 'til the sun don't shine
Shorty don't wait in line
Shorty don't wait 'til your life goes by
Take that weight off of your shoulders
So you can rest your head on mine
And when you feel like starting over
Well don't think twice, yeah it's alright
(Yeah, it's alright)
Oh...
Shorty don't wait in line
Shorty don't wait 'til the sun don't shine
Shorty don't wait in line
Shorty don't wait 'til your life goes by
Shorty don't wait in line
Shorty don't wait 'til the sun don't shine
Shorty don't wait in line
Shorty don't wait 'til your life goes by
Cheer Up! lyrics - A Great Big World
Cheer up!
'Cause nothing really matters when you look up into outer space.
It's a great big world and there's no need to cry.
Cheer up!
We're all interconnected to the reaches of the galaxy.
And my best friend says he came from the sky.
He travelled to The Earth aboard a pink spaceship,
It's hard for him to hide behind those eyes.
Cheer up!
The atoms in your body are as old as every dinosaur.
You're a special part of one big grand design.
Cheer up!
We're all in this together to discover what we're living for.
13 billion years and there's still time.
Every night I wish upon a star so bright,
Waiting for the others to arrive.
Cheer up!
'Cause nothing really matters when you look up into outer space.
It's a great big world and there's no need to cry.
13 billion years and there's still time.
Say Something lyrics - A Great Big World (with Christina Aguilera)
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere I would have followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would have followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere I would have followed you (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something...
Heart Family lyrics - A Great Big World
Oh little sweet one
My heart swims with glee
I'm glad you're apart of my heart family
Always connected and always will be
You belong here
You have always been wanted
No question, my dear
I dreamed of you often before you were here
And now that you're with me, you always will be
You belong here
You are safe, you are loved
Our connection is strong
And from now 'til forever
You'll always belong
And no matter the distance
By land or by sea
You are a part of my heart family
Ba da ba da ba da ba, da ba ba, ba da ba
Ba da ba da ba da ba, da ba ba, ba da ba
Family's can keep changing from the day we arrive
They're grown and collected through all of our lives
And the love that we feel make them flourish and bloom
You belong here
Family can be people who are here, or moved on
Like a pet or best friend, your brother or mom
Repeat after me, what you know to be true
I belong here, I belong here
I am safe, I am loved
Our connection is strong
And from now 'til forever
I'll always belong
And no matter the distance
By land or by sea
You are a part of my heart family
Ba da ba da ba da ba, da ba ba, ba da ba
Ba da ba da ba da ba, da ba ba, ba da ba
I am safe, I am loved
Our connection is strong
And from now 'til forever
I'll always belong
And as everything changes
Our love will always be
You are a part of my heart family
You're always a part of my heart family
I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas lyrics - A Great Big World
(originally by Gayla Peevey)
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a dog, no inky dinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!
It's Almost Christmas lyrics - Ingrid Michaelson & A Great Big World
All the days are growing cold
The nights are long
It's almost Christmas
I hear voices young and old
They sing a song
It's almost Christmas
I open up my arms and it surrounds me
I open up my heart and I can see
That there is magic in the air
I know it's there
I still can feel it
See all the wonder everywhere
I know it's there
I still believe it
It's almost Christmas
Hold the ones you love so close
And let them know
How much you love them
Cause it's that special time of year
When we all gather near
Oh I promise to remember
To open up my arms and let it surround me
To open up my heart so I can see
That there is magic in the air
I know it's there
I still can feel it
See all the wonder everywhere
I know it's there
I still believe it
It's almost Christmas
It's almost Christmas
It's almost Christmas
There is magic in the air
I know it's there
I still can feel it
See all the wonder everywhere
I know it's there
I still believe it
Open up your arms let it surround you (open up your arms)
Open up your heart so you can see (oh so you can see)
That there is magic in the air
It's all right there
Can you believe it
It's almost Christmas
Life Is Good lyrics - A Great Big World
(from "The Star" soundtrack)
It's time to celebrate, I think we've got a miracle
Straight from the heavens this is start of something beautiful
The rain is pouring out and now I see the sunshine
Don't have to worry about a thing here on cloud nine
Life is good
Life is good
Life is good
Yes it is
Life is good
I used to think that I had found what I was looking for
But now you're here and I could see that there's so much more, yeah
A little smile, I know everything is alright
Ooh, I love the setting, every day is looking so bright
Life is good
Life is good
Life is good
Yes it is
Life is good
Life is good
Life is good, so good
Every day is something new
Life is good, so good
And I know you know it too
Yeah life is good, so good
Even when I'm feeling blue
Life is good, so good
'Cause I know that I got you
Life is good
Life is good
(Life is feeling so good now)
Life is good
(Life is feeling so good now)
Life is good
(It's gotta feeling so good now)
You know that life is good
(Don't have to worry, everything is alright)
Life is good
(Woke up this morning and I'm seeing the light)
Life is good
(All of a sudden things everything's so bright)
Yes it is
(Now)
(One more time)
Life is good
Nothing's Impossible lyrics - A Great Big World (feat. Rachel Platten)
(from "The Imaginary" soundtrack)
There is magic all around
It's right there waiting to be found
It's in the sunlight behind the clouds
It's in the silence beneath the sounds
Invisible to those who won't believe it
It's only with the heart that you can see
There's a place where nothing's impossible
A leap of faith and nothing's impossible
As long as you believe, nothing's impossible
Nothing's impossible
I'll take the rainbow with all the rain
I'll take the laughter with all the pain
It's in these moments we realize
That through the darkness the stars can shine
There is so much beauty all around us
The world we dream is right before our eyes
There's a place where nothing's impossible
A leap of faith and nothing's impossible
As long as you believe, nothing's impossible
Nothing's impossible
You and I are possible
A thread that binds us here forever
If tomorrow brings a change of tide
And I'm no longer by your side, we'll be together
In the sunlight behind the clouds
In the silence beneath the sounds
There's a place where nothing's impossible
A leap of faith and nothing's impossible
As long as you believe, nothing's impossible
Nothing's impossible
Wrap Me Up Under The Christmas Tree lyrics - A Great Big World
Baby, it's Christmas
I can't afford too many things
I don't have a dollar, fancy shoes, or diamonds rings
Who needs a shopping spree?
Best things in life are free
Just wrap me up under the Christmas tree
Pretty baby
There may not be presents
Piled high upon the floor
I got something special that you can't find at any store
You warn me to warranty
That I guarantee
Just wrap me up under the Christmas tree
Well, Santa may not come tonight
It's alright
It's gonna be a merry Christmas
It's gonna be a merry Christmas
If you see those reindeer flying by
Don't cry
It's gonna be a merry Christmas
It's gonna be a merry Christmas
It's gonna be a merry Christmas
I know you were wishing for that trip to Paris, France
Fly on the river, little fairytale romance
But we got each other and there's nothing more we need
This cozy apartment, and some real good food to eat
Here, just stay home with me
And I'll love you endlessly
Just wrap me up under the Christmas tree
Wrap me up under the Christmas tree
Pretty baby
Wrap me up under the Christmas tree
Hold Each Other (Live) lyrics - A Great Big World
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, mmm
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, mmm
I never thought there'd be someone for me
Another soul that can share my story
Nobody loves me like you love me
We'll close our eyes and the walls will shatter
With open hearts we can see what matters
Nobody loves me like you love me
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, mmm
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other, mmm
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, mmm
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, mmm
I never thought there'd be someone for me
Another soul that can share my story
Nobody loves me like you love me
We'll close our eyes and the walls will shatter
With open hearts we can see what matters
Nobody loves me like you love me
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, mmm
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other, mmm
