LYRICS:
Cancel your plans
Come on out with me and your friends
Throw your problems all up with your hands
And sing with me like
La La La La La

We don't gotta try
Hey look at the way that we shine
Yeah so it ain't no surprise
When people stare like
Ooh La La La La

Looking good and it shows
From our head to our toes

High and flying
Weightless and floating
Riding on cloud nine and
I think we finally found the
Bright side feeling
Alright living
Life under the sun
We are the beautiful ones

Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Yeah)
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh

Just Look at us now
Yeah standing on the mountain so proud
And we're never ever gonna come down
Can't help but win and we ain't gonna stop
(No)

Looking good and it shows
From our head to our toes

High and flying
Weightless and floating
Riding on cloud nine and
I think we finally found the
Bright side feeling
Alright living
Life under the sun
We are the beautiful ones

Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh

If you're feeling low
Your heart's on the run
You're never alone
We are the beautiful ones

Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Aha, ok here we go...

High and flying
Weightless and floating
Riding on cloud nine and
I think we finally found the
Bright side feeling
Alright living
Life under the sun
We are the beautiful ones

(High and flying)
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh
(High and flying)
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh
(High and flying)
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh
(High and flying)
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Woo ooh ooh ooh ooh

LYRICS:
I’m always tired
I’m always lost
I’m always ready to 
Give on all my dreams
Because the cost
Is way too high
And so am I
And so it’s hard to concentrate
On all the good things in my life

And maybe I would be alright
Iife I could fall asleep
But every time I close my eyes
My mind plays tricks on me

And oh, I’m screaming out
Is anybody even listening 
And I keep freaking out
Does anybody else know what I mean
Oh I just need someone to see 
The real me

You’re always tired
You’re always lost
You’re always trying to remind me 
That our dreams are worth the cost
And then you smile
Through yellow,blue,green eyes
And I’m reminded once again 
You are the best thing in my life

But then I go and get lost in 
The darkness of my doubts
And I forget what sharing
Someone's love is all about

And oh, I’m screaming out
Is anybody even listening 
And I keep freaking out
Does anybody else know what I mean
Oh I just need someone to see 
The real me

In my heart and my soul
I have always known
I am safe when you’re close

Cause I stop screaming out. 
Is anybody even listening
And I stop freaking out
Does anybody else know what I mean
You're all I need and I know you see
The real me
Someone can see
The real me

The Real Me

Lyrics:

An innocent day
Has it really been that long
Since we felt that way
Somehow we carry on
Like we’re still ok

I know you don’t read minds
You always tell me so
But stuck in this head of mine
I can’t forget that…

We were golden, we were golden
We were golden where did we go
All I know is we were golden 
We were golden where did we go
Where did we go, where did we go

The Levy will break
Don’t you feel the water rise
Only so much it can take
Then it pouring out before our eyes
And we’ll be swept away

Will you give me the truth
I just need to know if…
This gold was made by fools

We were golden, we were golden
We were golden where did we go
All I know is we were golden 
We were golden where did we go
Where did we go, where did we go

I can tell the way we shine
This ain't only in my mind
But there’s only so much time

We were golden ,we were golden
We were golden where did we go
All I know is we were golden 
We were golden where did we go

We were golden, we were golden
We were golden where did we go
All I know is we were golden 
We were golden where did we go
Where did we go, where did we go

We Were Golden - Live Acoustic

LYRICS
Maybe I’m cheap
Maybe I’m just easy
She never sleeps
But that ain't the reason she calls me

She said daddy don’t you know you made a promise
You won’t be asking any questions in the morning
This ain’t never been about being good friends
Just take me now, just take me out of here

She tells me there ain’t no reason
To start worrying bout a woman's feelings
Cause I’m giving her what she’s needing
Who am I to leave
Who am I to leave
Who am I 

She’s sick from a heart that’s breaking
And I’m not the only drug she’s taking
And I know it ain’t love we’re making
Who am I to leave
Who am I to leave

Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I’m too far gone to know
She comes and she goes
Leaving before I feel like home

Because her heart is never in it
I’m just the only thing that keeps her body breathing
This ain’t never been about being good friends
Just take me now, just take me out of here

She tells me there ain’t no reason
To start worrying bout a woman's feelings
Cause I’m giving her what she’s needing
Who am I to leave
Who am I to leave
Who am I

She’s sick from a heart that’s breaking
And I’m not the only drug she’s taking
Yes I know it ain’t love we’re making
Who am I to leave
Who am I to leave
Who am I

Who am I
Who am I

She tells me there ain’t no reason
To start worrying bout a woman's feelings
Cause I’m giving her what she’s needing
Who am I to leave
Who am I to leave
Who am I

She’s sick from a heart that’s breaking
And I’m not the only drug she’s taking
Yes I know it ain’t love we’re making
Who am I to leave
Who am I to leave
Who am I

LYRICS
I told you
I can't do
Everything for you
Like you want me to

You brought me
To my knees
For long enough
In the name of love

I won't stand in your way

When you lay deep in the bed you made
Dream about all those things
All the things 
You shoulda done, you coulda done, you woulda changed
But now you got to lay,
Deep in the bed you made
In the bed you do what you want to do In the bed you made

I might have said
I would know when
The time was right
To leave it all behind

But you can’t see
The mess you leave
And it’s piling up
In the name of love

And I won’t stand in your way 
No no no no
I won't stand in your way
Oh

When you lay deep in the bed you made
Dream about all those things
All the things 
You shoulda done, you coulda done, you woulda changed
But now you got to lay,
Deep in the bed you made
In the bed you do what you want to do In the bed you made

And I won't stand here
No, I won't stand here. No
I won't stand in your way
No no no no
No, I won't stand here
No, I won't stand here. No
I won't stand in your way
No no no no

Lay, Lay
Ooh
You should done, you coulda done
Changed, Lay
Ooh
Do what you wanna do in the bed

Come on won't you lay deep in the bed you made
Dream about all those things
All the things 
You shoulda done, You coulda done, You woulda changed
But now you got to lay,
Deep in the bed you made
In the bed you do what you want to do in the bed you made

LYRICS
For so long
You’ve been gone 
And all the while
Sitting right next to me

I have lost
And you forgot
Who we were
And who we were meant to be

Ready for the end now
Waiting for the breakdown
Don't you hear the sweet sound
Of the heart you’re breaking
You could never cut through
The silence filling this room
See the love you’re tearing in two
And the heart you’re breaking
Just another night
Just another fight
Just another day
You could walk away
I'm the only one
Still holding on

You have said
What you had say
But without a word
You been telling me every day

You won’t try
So I won’t wait
For you to figure it out
Finally,  it’s too late

LYRICS
You got those eyes set on bright blue skies
And I, I like the clothes you wear
This summer sun got us running around 
And I, I never want it to end

Just a few more days
And a few more ways 
To show myself that I could fall in love with you

It's a simple thing
But this ain’t no game
When I say I wanna run away with you

Cuz what I love about you
Is the way that you say my name 
Yea what I love about you
Is the way that you're not the same 

Oh, yeah
Everybody else got it out for me

I know I don’t know enough about you 
But that, don’t mean that things can’t change
There an unspoken urge in the air
And it's, pulling me closer and closer to you

Just a few more days
And a few more ways 
Is all I need to go I could fall in love with you

It's a simple thing
But this ain’t no game
When I say I wanna run away with you

Cuz what I love about you     
Is the way that you say my name 
Yea what I love about you
Is the way that you're not the same

LYRICS
All my walls are coming down now
Built for love but then you tore em up
Not too long until I fall down
But I’ll stay strong because you hold me up

I’ll show you what I’m about 
Cause what we’ve found
Is built on solid ground
All my walls are falling down now

And you tore em up

Did you ever think that you could love me
Like you love now
Did you think that you could break
a man like me
Did you ever think that you could love me
Like you love now
Did you think that you could break
a man like me

ooh 

All my fears were running wild girl
Took my heart and then you tied it up
Now we’re moving to a new world
Standing strong, you know we won’t give up

I’ll show you what I’m about 
Cause what we’ve found
Is built on solid ground
All my walls are falling down now

Never new that I could find love
Never new that it could be so good
Never new that I could find love
Never new that it cold be so good

All my walls are coming down now
Built for love but then you tore em up
Not too long until I falll down
But I’ll stay strong because you hold me up
