A Great Big World Lyrics

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

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

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

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, 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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'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

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)

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)

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)

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

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

[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

Oasis lyrics - A Great Big World

Don't cry

You're mine

For forever

I need

You now

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

This life

Is made

For each other

Crossed lines

Mistakes

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

As I roam through the wasteland

You're the one thing I need

I see you off in the distance

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Is There Anybody Out There? (2014)

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

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 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 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 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...

You'll Be Okay lyrics - A Great Big World

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

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

The sun will rise

To better days

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'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

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

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

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, 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, 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...

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

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

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

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

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

Yes it is

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 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

If you see those reindeer flying by

Don't cry

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
