Just like you

There’s an ocean in my head
Filled with every thought and word I’ve ever said Of a love just like in Hollywood
So true, this fairytale is just like you
God forbid that I go blind
If I did, I could never find a love Just like in Hollywood, so true This fairytale is just like you
We’re holding on to make it last
The memories we shared in the past These days I just sit in wonder
At the wonder
It’s impossible to say,
Just what I’d do, if you should turn away From a love, I found in Hollywood
So true, I fell for someone just like you
We’re holding on to make it last
The memories we shared in the past
These days I just sit and wonder
At the wonder
Stay close to me Hollywood, Hollywood
Just like you, just like you
These days, just like you
Just sit, sit in wonder
Just sit, sit in wonder
These days I just sit in wonder at the wonder
These days

Hollywood
04:54

And we were cruising the freeways We were lost in love and so alive Hollywood you’re breaking all the rules
It was slow go baby on the 101
But we don’t care, cause we’re having fun In tears with laughter
Hollywood, you’re breaking all the rules
First you say you love me
But then you say you don’t
And now you say you wanna move on
When love breaks down She’s going back to town She’s going back to town When love breaks down She’s going back to town
Well LAX is the loneliest place in the world to find yourself When love takes off and leaves you
Staring in a coffee cup
Sitting in a coffee shop
So why don’t you stay, just stay the afternoon
Cause we both know that you’re leaving soon Hollywood you’re breaking all the rules
Another Margarita before I drive you home
But then you go and tell me that you’re going it alone
First you say you love me and then you say you don’t
And now you say you wanna move on
One minute you say you love me, the next you say you don’t You’re leaving me but leading me on
Hollywood, Hollywood
The Sunset on Melrose way down to El Coyote We never had to wait in line
The Whisky, the Roxy, the frozen Margaritas The Roosevelt at closing time
When all the lights go down
Love just lets you down
Follow your dreams but they get away
In this tinsel town
Love just lets you down
Down down deeper and down Hollywood

Beautiful Thing
05:02
|

Why don’t you say what’s on your mind
So we can leave it all behind
A million lovers in your bed
A million others in your head
Why don’t we take a little time
Just a little piece of mind
There’s more to life than one mistake But one mistake is all it takes
I came home early found you lying on the floor Ten minutes later you were trying to start a war
He quoted Shakespeare and Keats
And that made me realise
It’s a Beautiful thing
Just like the sunrise in the morning
It’s a beautiful thing
Just like two lovers when they’re falling It’s a beautiful thing
Just like the first time I saw you, you made me realise It’s a beautiful thing
I turned the key inside the lock on our front door
I came home early you were talking on the phone He quoted Dylan and Cash
And that made me realise
It’s a beautiful thing
Just like the sunrise in the morning
It’s a beautiful thing
Just like two lovers when they’re falling It’s a beautiful thing
Just like the first time I saw you, you made me realise
Your love
The life you get is what you give to each other
One day it’s black and white the next day it’s colour The memories that we have we made for each other Remember when you said
I could be, I could be,
I could the one, just catch me if I fall
I could be, I could be, I could the one
If you get a little lost sometime
If you get a little lost
I could be the one for you, be the one for you

Gotta give it up
04:11
|
|||
There may come a time in your life
When you feel it’s all been better
And there may come a time in your life When you just can’t seem to roll along with the weather
And there may come a time in your life When you feel that something’s giving
And there may come a time in your life When you just don’t feel like a life’s worth a living
So give out but don’t give in
You gotta put out what your putting in Give out but don’t give in
You gotta let it out, what you feel within
There may come a day in your life When you’ve heard it all before
There may come a day in your life When you could have been loving me some more
There may come a day in your life when you open up your eyes
And there may come a day in your life when you
Get to the truth behind all the lies
Give out but don’t give in
You gotta put out what you’re putting in Give out but don’t give in
You gotta shout out
What you’re feeling
Give out but don’t give in
Oh
You gotta give it up Gotta give it up What you give What are you feeling You Gotta give it up
Gotta get what you’re giving
Gotta give it up
Now that you’ve found yourself
I hope you understand
And now that you’ve found yourself
It’s time to make amends to your life
Now that you’ve found yourself Welcome to the living oh
And now that you’ve found yourself
It’s time to do all the things you were missing

Mr. Maxwell
04:14
|
|||
It’s just another sunny day “it always is this time of year”
And Mr. Maxwell’s taken all my blues away
Start the engine let’s get going feel the power overflowing
Time to make our getaway
Buckle up your better half, don’t forget to wear a scarf
You might as well in case it rains “it’s such a lovely day”
Flip the switch, drop the top your Mother seems to talk alot
She’s a back seat driver yeah
”she’s taking over”
There’s a warning sign from the dashboard light And it seems we’re running low
Overtaking never breaking changing lanes anticipating Gotta love the open road
Push the pedal to the floor try to squeeze a little more Bowie’s on the radio, floating in a tin can
We fill her up with 95 check the oil so we can drive
Grab ourselves a coffee and a sandwich then we’re on our way
Here we go “here we go again”
Around the block again “this time around”
I can’t say no, I guess I’ll see you round the bend
It’s looking like we’re right on time, everything is going fine
Maxwell’s got some Revels and a Bounty and a Milky Way
Here we go “here we go again”
Around the block again “this time around”
I can’t say no, I guess I’ll see you round the bend
The girl next door wants to take it slow If you don’t try then you’ll never know
It all makes sense in perfect tense
This other side of your innocence
The girl next door with the open mind
If you don’t look, then you’ll never find
The sun and the moon and the stars above When planets align, that’s when we fall in love
That’s when we fall in love “when we fall in love”
That’s when we fall in love, I think I’m falling in love Sunday drivers take it easy they’ve got nowhere to go And somewhere there’s a sign ahead
Just 20 miles from home
I think I’m falling in love
You gotta, slow down sometimes
You gotta, take it easy
You gotta, leave the fast lane
Open road no one in front of me
You gotta, keep your distance
You gotta, watch those red lights
You gotta, check your rearview
Open road, I think I’m falling in love I think I’m falling in love
It’s such a lovely day
Such a lovely day
It’s just another sunny day “it always is this time of year”
And Mr. Maxwell’s taken all my blues away

Caught up in the middle
04:57
|
|||
I’ve been looking in my rear view mirror Looking in my rear view mirror
But I can’t see you anymore
I’ve been looking for a little reaction
Just a bit of attraction
I can’t feel it anymore, feel it anymore
There’s gotta be a better way to say I love you
Gotta be a better way to make you
Feel it in your heart
There’s gotta be a better way to stay close to you
Gotta be a better way to keep you
Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
I’ve been looking in the wrong direction
For a bit of affection it was right in front of me
I’ve been looking for the words to tell you
Ever since the day I met you
I can’t take it anymore, you leave me wanting more
Everyday is like I’m caught up in the middle
Everyday I love you more than just a little
Cause I can’t get over you
I can’t get over you
I know you said we shouldn’t but I really want to go there
But if we never do I’ll always know it
Couldn’t change a thing, I wouldn’t change a thing
If I could be your boyfriend for just 5 minutes
Be your ocean and everything in it
We could laugh underwater as the world spins round
Promise me you’ll hold me if I start to drown
I don’t wanna fall but I feel like I’m falling
I wanna wake up with you in the morning
Ref
I don’t wanna get over you I could never get over you Ref
Every single day, since you went away
Can’t get over, I can’t get over you
Everyday I love you just a little bit more Everytime you leave me I don’t wanna let go

Home Again
04:29
|

Sometime’s your love it starts flowing
Sometime’s you don’t know where you’re going
Sometime’s you’re better off not knowing
Next time you look there’s no one there
I’m going home, home again
To see my friends from way way back when
I’m going home it’s where it all began
I’m going home
Sometime’s you think about what could have been
Sometime’s you worry about the state you’re in
Sometime’s it’s better off not going there
Those childhood memories of your teddy bear
Sunday’s in the garden with my cousins
Is where I should be
Would you care for a little afternoon tea
And somewhere in the kitchen there’s an apple pie
Just waiting for me
Would you care for a nibble with some
Custard and cream
So I say thank you for the blessings of my family tree
My home is where my heart wants to be
Sometime’s I think of my old schooldays
The childhood crush of my yesterdays
The innocence of a playground kiss
Who would have thought it would come to this
Sunday’s in the garden with my cousins
Is where I should be
Would you care for a little afternoon tea
And somewhere in the kitchen there’s an apple pie
Just waiting for me
And you know how I love, how I love, how I love it
That custard and cream
So I say thank you for the blessings of my family tree
My home is where my heart wants to be
Sometime’s I think of all the things I miss
The way your love slipped through my fingertips
Far away in some old foreign town
The memories of you they still come around

Fear of Flying
03:50
|
|||
Could have had it all and been so happy ever after
But you had to go and spoil it all with your imagination
You just put it in a letter, put it in a letter
Then you watched me die
Could have been the distance in between the lies and kisses with you Could have been the absence of the magic in the moments with you Gonna make it better, gonna make it better, make it work this time
But there is something that you should know
I’m conquering this fear of flying
But taking off without you is frightening
When the Captain says we’ll soon be on our way
We had nowhere to go when we ran out of inspiration we just
Tried to find the answer and some other explanation but we
Found it in a bottle, found it in a bottle, then we drank it dry
But there is something that you should know
I’m conquering this fear of flying
But taking off without you is frightening
When the Captain says we’ll soon be on our way
Only you could make the sunshine by cracking a smile
Only you could fill a wardrobe with impeccable style
Only you could make me laugh with just three little words
Saying what’s he like, what’s he like
Could have sworn I heard you calling On that early morning flight to LA
We’re taking off and nothing’s gonna stop us
Stop us tonight
Broken wings can learn to fly
We can fly again, if you try again
Just listen to the Captain of your heart
The pilot of your destiny
I was weak you were strong you knew all along

Endless Summer
05:00
|
|||
There’s a song in my heart and I wrote it for you
In the summer of love it was all I could do
Since the day that we met,
I’ve been thinking of you
In the tunnel of love it was all I could do
To those every day people in this every day world
Falling apart at the seams
For those every day people in this every day world
You’ll never know if you never dream it, believe it
There’s a bird in the sky and he’s singing for you
If you listen you’ll know what it is you should do
To those every day people in this every day world
Falling apart at the seams
For those every day people in this every day world
You’ll never know if you never dream it, believe it
So don’t ever let it go, once you find it you will know
There’ll be others, there’ll be lovers, under covers
And one day my friend you’ll know
Did I hurt you don’t let go
Like the others, former lovers, endless summers
To those every day people in this every day world
Falling apart at the seams
For those every day people in this every day world
You’ll never know if you never dream it, believe it
So don’t ever let it go, once you find it you will know
There’ll be others, there’ll be lovers, under covers
And when time’s not on your side
Don’t regret the things you tried
You get over, getting over, when you’re older
So let me hold you one last time
Keep this moment in my mind
You will always be my only endless summer
You will always be my only endless summer

We had it all this time, even in the darker moments
It’s a sure fine line from the beautiful to broken
You get inside my mind, better or for worse
We know it’s working, between the hurting
In every garden there’s a flower that needs water
And if a flower’s gonna grow you gotta give it time
Though I know the grass looks greener, when I’m on your side
Sometimes you need water, sometimes you need wine
So baby be the water and I’ll be the wine
And as the seasons change, you’re the now in my emotions
We live inside the flame, we battle scars and the burdens
It’s common ground we need
We keep chasing rainbows cause we’re certain
It’s worth the searching
In every garden there’s a flower that needs water
And if a flower’s gonna grow you gotta give it time
Though I know the grass looks greener, when I’m on your side
Sometimes you need water, sometimes you need wine
Come rain or shine
Deep down deep deep in the water
We come alive
Come rain or shine
Every day we get a little bit older
There’s nothing to fight
It’s precious time
And everyday we get a little bit older
I’ll be your water, you be the wine
In every garden there’s a flower that needs water
And if a flower’s gonna grow, you gotta give it time
Though I know the grass looks greener,
when I’m on your side
Sometimes you need water, sometimes you need wine
Baby be the water, I’ll be the wine

Every cloud’s got a silver lining
Just look in the sky you’ll see the sun is shining
Every laugh’s got a heart that’s smiling
A tear in your eye don’t mean you’re crying
A little love goes a long long way
A little love’s gonna help me make it through the day
Just like before I’m falling for the first time
Cause we belong together ”in love”
You never forget those special things like
Kissing for the first time, seeing all the stars shine
It’s just what you do
Anytime you feel the sunlight fading
Tomorrow you’ll find it’s gonna be there waiting
And anytime you see the rain start falling
Just look in the sky you’ll see a rainbow forming
A little love goes a long long way
A little love’s gonna help me make it through the day
Just like before I’m falling for the first time
Cause we belong together ”in love”
You never forget those special things like
Kissing for the first time
Seeing all the stars shine It’s just what you do
Ten more hours until you’re here, in these arms of mine
I can’t wait for you no more, a little love’s gonna make it
Just like before I’m falling for the first time
Cause we belong together ”in love”
You never forget those special things like
Kissing for the first time, seeing all the stars shine It’s just what you do
I see the sunset in your eyes
Because we’re falling in love
Everyday feels just like kissing for the first time
Seeing all the stars shine
It’s just what you do
Kissing for the first time
Seeing all the stars shine
It’s just what you do

Something I couldn't be
04:53
|
|||
There’s a time that I remember
When my heart was like brand new
A million different memories, of things we used to do
We built snowmen in December
Watched Corrie on TV, Al Stewart he was ours
The graveyard and the flowers
When ambition finally hit me There was nothing I could do
California was there waiting
And she chose me over you
Cause you, you, yeah you
You wanted something I couldn’t be
I was busy being no one
But to you I was a king
Opportunity was calling me
To leave you for my dream
So you said you don’t mind waiting
Just go and do your thing
So I left you in uncertainty
With the promise of a ring
Cause you, you, yeah you
You wanted something I couldn’t be
You, you, yeah you,
I didn’t leave you, you left me
Happy ever after was
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed
All I ever wanted was
Well I’d like to think that someday
When all is said and done
We can leave the past behind us
Agree we both have won
You could go on shining silently
Just like you always did
That jealously that tortured me Was only in my head
But you, you, yeah you
You wanted something I couldn’t be
You, you, yeah you,
I didn’t leave you, you left me
Happy ever after was all you ever wanted, all you ever needed
All I ever wanted
Happy ever after was all you ever wanted, all you ever needed
All I ever wanted was
