OneRepublic – Prodigal

We say good-bye
I turn my back
Run away, run away
So predictable
Not far from here
You see me crack
Like a bone, like a bone
I’m so breakable

And I take everything from you
But you’ll take anything
Won’t you?

Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Don’t you wait for me
Don’t you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
And you wait for me
And you wait for me

I’m on the road
To who knows where?
Look ahead, not behind
I keep saying
There’s no place to go
Where you’re not there
On your rope, I hold tight
But it’s freeing

And I take everything from you
But you’ll take anything
Won’t you?

Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Don’t you wait for me
Don’t you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
And you wait for me
And you wait for me

Everybody wants to be right
But only if it’s not day light?
I keep trying to find my way back
My way back

Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Don’t you wait for me
Don’t you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
And you wait for me
And you wait for me

Runaway
Runaway
Runaway
From you
From you
From you


OneRepublic – Tyrant

Watching myself when I’m taking strides but here comes the moon and it feels and it feels like an informer quick run away hide before they see you, you know it is all, all a glow

Walking on water seems parlays now you got my trust and it feels, and it feels like sabotage when I’m pulling triggers back on myself you know it is all I know, is all I know

From the outtttt
From the outtt tyrant
Tyrant tyranttt

I’ll stay with apathy im blind but I can see the tyrant to the bone
I’ll stay with apathy im blind but I can see

And it feels so real from the outside looking in
And it feels so real from the outside
From the outtttt
And it feels so real from the outside looking in
And it feels so real from the outside
From the outtttt

Tyrant tyrant tyrant oooo ooo ooo


OneRepublic – All Fall Down

Step out the door and it feels like rain
That’s the sound (that’s the sound) on your window pane
Take to the streets but you can’t ignore
That’s the sound (that’s the sound) you’re waiting for

You feel that your will starts crashing down
Whenever you’re will starts crashing down
Whenver your will starts crashing down
That’s when you find me.

Yeah God love your soul and your aching bones
Take a breath, take a step, maybe down below
Everyone’s the same
My fingers to my toes
We just can’t get a ride
But we’re on the road

If ever your will starts crashing down
Whenever your will starts crashing down
Whenever your will starts crashing down
That’s when you find me.

Chorus:

(Yeah) Lost til you’re found
Swim til you drown

Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down

If ever your will starts crashing down
Whenever your will starts crashing down
If ever your will starts crashing down
That’s when you’ll find (find) me

Lost til you’re found
Swim til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down

All fall down, we all fall down, all fall down
We all fall down, all fall down, all fall down

Lost til you’re found
Swim til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down


OneRepublic – Goodbye, Apathy

I can’t sleep now, no, not like I used to
I can’t breathe in and out like I need to
It’s breaking ice.. now, to make any movement
What’s your vice? you know that mine’s the illusion
And all at once (as i’m trying) I can help you out
(just to keep things right)
I’ll be what you need (I kill myself to make everything perfect for ya)
Goodbye apathy, so long apathy

[Chorus]
So don’t sit still, don’t you move away from here
So goodbye apathy (as i’m trying), so long fancy free
(just to keep things right)
Goodbye apathy, (kill myself to make everything perfect for ya)
I don’t wanna be you

I don’t walk right, not like I used to
There’s a jump in my step as I rush to see you
I could be happy here as long as you’re near to me
As long as you’re close to me
Now that I’m alright (as i’m trying) I can help you
out (just to keep things right)
I’ll be what you need (I kill myself to make everything perfect for ya)
Goodbye apathy, goodbye apathy

[Chorus]
So don’t you stop pushing me, I can take so much
So goodbye apathy (as i’m trying), so long fancy free
(just to keep things right)
Goodbye apathy, (kill myself to make everything perfect for ya)
I don’t wanna be… you…

Everybody is watching you, everybody is watching me too ….


OneRepublic – Apologize

[Verse 1]
I’m hangin’ on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I’m hearin’ what you say,
But I just can’t make a sound.
You tell me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down…
But wait…
You tell me that you’re sorry,
Didn’t think I’d turn around…
And say…

[Chorus]
That it’s too late to apologize.
It’s too late…
I said it’s too late to apologize.
It’s too late.
Yeah!

[Verse 2]
I’d take another chance,
Take a fall, take a shot for you.
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
But it’s nothin’ new.
I loved you with a fire red,
Now it’s turnin’ blue…
And you say…
Sorry, you’re not the angel
Heaven let me think was you…
But I’m afraid…

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

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
It’s too late to apologize.
It’s too late.
I said it’s too late to apologize.
It’s too late.

It’s too late to apologize. YEAH!
I said it’s too late to apologize. YEAH!
I’m holdin’ on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.


OneRepublic – Stop And Stare

This town is colder now, I think it’s sick of us
It’s time to make our move, I’m shakin off the rust
I’ve got my heart set on anywhere but here
I’m staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel…
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal… for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you’re ‘here’ not there
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair
But fair ain’t what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see

They’re tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could…
Steady feet, don’t fail me now
Gonna run till you can’t walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I’m standing down…

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you’re here not there
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair
But fair ain’t what you really need
Oh, you don’t need

What u need, what u need…

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be
Oh, do u see what I see…


OneRepublic – Mercy

Angel of Mercy
How did you find me?
Where did you read my story?
Pulled from the papers
Desperate and hardened
seeking a momentary fix

All I wanted to say
All I wanted to do
Is fall apart now
All I wanted to feel
I wanted to love
It’s all my fault now
A Tragedy I fear

Angel of Mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you

Whoa Whoa Whoa
I feel you
Whoa Whoa Whoa

Fortress of daylight
come in and standby
Waiting to catch the quickest plane
Flying to nowhere
Is better than somewhere
That’s where I’ve been and nothing’s changed

All I wanted to say
All I wanted to do
Is fall apart now
All I wanted to feel
I wanted to love
It’s all my fault now
A Tragedy for sure

Angel of Mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you

Whoa Whoa Whoa
I feel you
Whoa Whoa Whoa

I’m so lost in you
A tragedy seemed to be over now
A tragedy it seemed to be

Angel of Mercy
How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you

whoa
I feel you
Whoa
I feel you
Oh Whoa
I feel you
Oh Oh Oh


OneRepublic – Say (All I Need)

Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing’s turned out how you wanted

Well, bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you won’t let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You’re doing your best and
Your best look
You’re praying that you make it

Well, bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you won’t let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it (Better than you had it)

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Whenever the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say it
