OneRepublic – Lullaby

Days feel hard earned
Night grows longer
Summer says its goodbyes
And darkness covers
We find shelter
Our own place to hide

Oh
As the light goes out
Thoughts turn to angels
Over us
Oh
As the night comes in
Dreams start their drifting
And you hear
A lullaby
Ooooooh
A lullaby
You and I

Trees touch windows
Say their hellos
We hear this house as it settles in
Worry slips away
It don’t know your name
It don’t know where to find us

Oh
As the light goes out
Thoughts turn to angels
All around us
Oh
As the night comes in
Dreams start their drifting
And we hear
A lullaby
A lullaby
You and I
You and I

Ooooooooooh


OneRepublic – Marchin’ On

For those days we felt like a mistake,
Those times when love’s what you hate
Somehow
We keep marchin on

For those nights that i couldn’t be there,
I’ve made it harder to know that you know
That somehow
We’ll keep movin on

Theres so many wars we fought
Theres so many things we’re not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We’re marchin on
We’re marchin on

For all of the plans we made
There isn’t a flag I’d wave
Don’t care where we’ve been
I’d sink us to swim
We’re marchin on
We’re marchin on

For those doubts that swirl all around us
For those lives that tear at the seams
We know
Were not what we’ve seen

Oh
For this dance we move with each other
There aint no other step
Than one foot
Right in front of the other
Oh

Theres so many wars we fought
Theres so many things we’re not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We’re marchin on
We’re marchin on

For all of the plans we made
There isn’t a flag I’d wave
Don’t care where we’ve been
I’d sink us to swim
We’re marchin on
We’re marchin on

Right Right Right Right Left
Right Right Right Right Left
Right Right Right Marchin On

We’ll have the days we break
And we’ll have the scars to prove it
We’ll have the bomb that we saved
And we’ll have the heart
Not to lose it

For all of the times we fought
For all of the things i’m not

Oh!
You put one foot in front of the other
We go where we go we’re marchin on
Marchin on

Theres so many wars we fought
Theres so many things we’re not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We’re marchin on
We’re marchin on
Right Right Right Right Left
Right Right Right Right Left
Marchin On
Marchin on


OneRepublic – Waking Up

I found variety
On Nolan\’s Avenue
Down where the air is sweet
As L.A. skies are blue
The water tried to break it down
But it held through
It gave a little for the sake of staying true

We cut ties
We tell lies
We hate change
And we wanna claim where we feel
We take toes
We rake yours
Yeah we dig holes
And we\’re diggin right in your fears

We\’re waking up
We\’re waking up
And right on time
And right on Time
We\’ll take these roads
We\’ll break them up
And right on time
And right on Time!

We got cars
We write laws
We won\’t pause
Don\’t you know we\’re always working this hards
We dont lose
We might bruise
Yeah but we\’ll rain fire on ya till you\’re playing
All of your cards

We\’re waking up
We\’re waking up
And right on time
And right on Time
We\’ll take these roads
We\’ll break them up
And right on time
And right on Time!
on time!
right on time!
Waking Up!
Waking Up!


OneRepublic – Fear

No sleep
Today
Cant even rest when the suns down
No time
Theres not enough
And nobodys watchin me now

When we were children we’d play
Out in the streets just dipped in fate
When we were children we’d say
That we don’t know the meaning of
Fear, fear, fear,
Fear, fear, fear
We dont know the meaning of..

When we were children we’d play
Out in the streets just dipped in fate
When we were children we’d say
That we don’t know the meaning of
Fear, fear, fear,
Fear, fear, fear
We don’t know the meaning of..

Wish I
Didn’t know the meaning of…


OneRepublic – All This Time

Six on the second hand
Two new years resolutions
and there’s just no question
what this man should do

take all the time lost
all the days that I cost
take what I took and
give it back to you

all this time
we were waiting for each other
all this time
I was waiting for you
we got all these words
can’t waste them on another
so I’m straight in a straight line
running back to you

i don’t know what day it is
i had to check the paper
i don’t know the city
but it isn’t home

but you say I’m lucky
to love something that loves me
but I’m torn as I could be
wherever I roam

Hear me say

all this time
we were waiting for each other
all this time
I was waiting for you
we got all these words
can’t waste them on another
so I’m straight in a straight line
running back to you

yeah, all, running back to you
yeah, all, running back to you
yeah…..
Oh, every time is so far
It’s just so far
to get back to where you are

all this time
we were waiting for each other
all this time
I was waiting for you
we got all these words
can’t waste them on another
so I’m straight in a straight line
running back to you
I’m straight in a straight line
running back to you
straight in a straight line
running back to you


OneRepublic – Good Life

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don’t really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don’t know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We’re young enough to say

[Chorus]

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

[Verse 2]

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don’t know
Where I’ve been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’ t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

[Bridge 1]

When you’re happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

[Chorus]

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
A good good life Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

[Bridge 2]

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I’ll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I’m taking a mental picture of you now
‘Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

[Chorus]

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don’t know
Where I’ve been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’ t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about


Onerepublic – Missing Persons 1 &2

Used to come around here every day
Now you’re breakin
Used to be the one that is not ashamed
Now you shamin
Lost in all the wars we fought
Never saw a road
Now that i think about you in the skies
I’d turn my row
And i wonder where you are
Now I wonder where you..
Are
[ooooh]

Take yourself down
Pick yourself up
Everything changed when you got along
7 point 1 took it all down
Suddenly you can’t even be found
I said all night long

Missing person’s in the window
Staring at me
Saying things I cant hear
A missing person’s in the window
Staring at me
Haven’t seen them in years

(Instrumental)

First things first
Second in command
Right as i’m trying to change my plan
Second gonna die
Oh he cant breathe
Everybody’s staring straight at me
You spend it all chasing those lies
I dont really wanna take that chance
I dont really wanna do that dance
I dont know what to do till you say
Oh i dont wanna let you go
But i cant keep holding on
Skies of silver, Stars of gold
And now you know just what you like

So far this love is all i have
So far this hurt is all i have

Missing person at the window
Missing person at the window
A missing person at the window
Missing person at the window
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
Wonder where you…


OneRepublic – Everybody Loves Me

Let’s paint the picture
Of the perfect place
They’ve got it better then when anyone’s told ya
They’ll be the King of Hearts, and your the Queen of Spades
Then we’ll fight for you like we were your soldiers

I know we’ve got it good
But they’ve got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up, but soon they’ll take us down
Before anybody’s knowing our name

They’ve got…

All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we’re going down
They’ve got
All the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we’re going down

They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down
They say
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down

Do you think I’m special?
Do you think I’m nice?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?
Between the noise you hear, and the sounds you like
Are we just sinking the ocean of faces?
It can’t be possible… the rain can fall
Only when its over our heads.
The sun is shining everyday, but it’s far away.
Over the world that’s dead.


OneRepublic – Secret

I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til’ all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I’ve said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw wink, no
I’ve been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want from here
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I’m gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don’t need another perfect line
Don’t care if critics never jump in line
I’m gonna give all my secrets away

My god, amazing how we got this far
It’s like we’re chasing all those stars
Who’s driving shiny big cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Singing straight, too cold
I don’t really like my flow, no, so

Tell me what you want from here
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I’m gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don’t need another perfect line
Don’t care if critics never jump in line
I’m gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got not shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don’t let me disappear
I’mma tell you everything

So tell me what you want from here
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I’m gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don’t need another perfect line
Don’t care if critics never jump in line
I’m gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want from here
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I’m gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don’t need another perfect line
Don’t care if critics never jump in line
I’m gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away, All my secrets away


OneRepublic – All The Right Moves

Paint a picture of a perfect place
They’ve got it better than we need it, I once told you
I’ll be the King of Hearts, you be the Queen of Spades
And I’ll fight for you like I was your solider

I know we’ve got it good
But they’ve got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up
But we should head on down
Until everybody’s knowing our name

They’ve got all the right things in all the wrong places
Someday, we’re going down
They’ve got all the right moves and all the wrong faces
Someday, we’re going down

Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down

Something special, yeah, something nice
Know if anything that happens, I’ve got you
The world is seeing stars, when you’re seeing lights
Listen to* everything your messenger’s taught ya’.

It can be possible to make you fall,
Only when it’s over our heads
The sun is shining everyday, but it’s far away
All the world is dead, they’ve got they’ve got

They’ve got all the right things in all the wrong places
Someday, we’re going down
They’ve got all the right moves and all the wrong faces
Someday, we’re going down

Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down
Everybody knows, everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah, we’re going down

No matter how I try
I know that I’ll never find
Someone that I love like you
I’ll push them all away
But I cannot seem to find
Someone that I love like you

All the right things in all the wrong places,
So yeah, we’re going down
They’ve got all the right moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we’re going down

All the right things in all the wrong places,
So yeah, we’re going down
They’ve got all the right moves in all the wrong faces
So yeah, we’re going down

Everybody knows everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah we’re going down
Everybody knows everybody knows where we’re going
Yeah we’re going down

All the right moves
Yeah, we’re going down
All the right moves
Yeah, we’re going down

No matter how I try
I know that I’ll never find
Someone that I love like you
