Taxi Material

[verse 1]
Pack your bags
find a town 
where no on knows your name
chart a course
or wander free
fly or take the train


You don't have to write or call
every single day
cuz you are in my heart and in my soul

[pre-chorus]
find your bliss
find a world well beyond  your window
but leave a trail
toss a crumb behind 
every now and then

[chorus]
Go where you wanna to go
Find a place with a view
Go, but don't be long
cuz you be long right here
yeah you be longed right here all along

[verse 2]
Maybe i will pack my bags
i could leave tonight
catch a car, hit the road 
or even take a flight

I could meet you where are
or find another way
have a tale or two ta tell...
when we meet someday

[pre-chorus]
find my bliss
find a world that's well beyond my window
and when we meet
i hope to hear the words inside my head

[chorus]
Go where you wanna go
Find your place with a view
Go, but don't be long
cuz you be long right here

Go oh oh where you want to go
Find a place with a view
Go, but don't be long
cuz you be long right here
you belonged right all along
yeah, you belonged right here all along

Where You Belong (v8)

French pop song with lots of acoustic guitars

Lyrics
Haute et hypnotique, je danse dans la lumière,
Un pas après l’autre, je fais vibrer l’atmosphère.
Je glisse sur le rythme, élégante et magnétique,
Chaque mouvement contrôle l’énergie électrique.

[pre-chorus]
Je suis la silhouette qui redéfinit la nuit,
Un flash, un regard, et tout le monde suit.
Le flow est couture, calibré, authentique,
Je trace ma propre route, calligraphie artistique.

[chorus]
Dans la foule qui scintille, je deviens légendaire,
Haute et hypnotique, je brille comme un éclair.

[instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Truth, I ain't one to back down
Dare. don't wanna test me now

I don't start it but i don't back down

Doubt I have heard it all of my life
Pain yeah ok maybe

Mess Around and Find Out (v5)

[verse 1]
I’ve been tryin’ to clear my head,
But girl, you’re still in the way.
Can’t focus on nothin’ else I try to do
Your memory just makes me sway.

[pre-chorus]
And every time I catch my breath,
I feel your whisper in the air.
And I tell myself I won’t get pulled back in,
But the truth is, girl, I’m halfway there.


[chorus 1]
The way you hold my soul,
You take me out of control,
No matter what I do,
I can’t shake you loose.

[verse 2]
I keep seein’ you everywhere,
In places you’ve never been.
Every little thing I touch or hear or feel
Takes me right back to you again.

[pre-chorus]
And every time you cross my mind,
I feel you tuggin’ at my will.
And I tell myself I won’t get pulled back in,
But somehow, girl, I’m fallin’ still.

[chorus 2]
The way you hold my soul,
Got a grip so sweet, so bold,
I try, but it’s no use—
Baby, I can’t shake you loose.

[bridge]
Every road I try to choose
Leads me right back next to you,
No matter how I fight the truth,
My heart won’t cut you loose.

[chorus 3]
The way you hold my soul,
You take me out of control,
No matter what I do,
I can’t shake you loose.
No i can't shake you loose
I can't shake you loose

Can't Shake You Loose

Held Together By a Thread

[verse]
I’m held together by a thread,
quilted into the seams...
of a life i've lived instead
of the one i've lived in dreams

I've walked along a well-worn path
and over coals no longer hot
learned to hold the world that i have
let go of the one that is not

[chorus]
I've carried all the weight that i can
Up the hill and back down again
a pattern i have yet to shed
held together by a thread

[verse 2]
I think about it from time to time
all the chances i didn't take
but i don't regret it going by
if i help the others make their way

We have made this, house of stone
chiseled deep in  every groove
so many times you could have gone
but don't expect, a rock to move

[chorus]
And you carried all  that you could
we built this life where we have stood
so many others may have fled
but we held together by a common thread

[instrumental]

[final chorus]
And we carry, yeah, we, carry on
while so many others have come and gone
through all these years and those ahead
we hold together, by a thread

Held Together By a Thread

[Verse 1]
We been through it all
tried and re-tested
we've come face to face 
with the end

[Verse 2]
But we're still here
with the pieces we've gathered
what to set free
and what to mend

[pre-chorus]
is this love moving on
cuz i am not ready, to let it go
though the ground feels nearly gone
you should always know, i'll stay close
more than a moment, slips away

[Chorus]
Hold on, don't lose this to forever
There's no promise of another dance
Slow it down, we can step through this together
This might just be last chance

[Verse 3]
Got a ways to go
And it won't be easy
But I, ain't going nowhere without you

This heart beats for you
With every breath I draw
You flow right through

[Pre-Chorus]
These days may come and go
But my love stays the same
As the sun and the moon
More than the passing of the age

[Chorus]
Hold on, don't lose this to forever
There's no promise of another day
Slow it down, we can step through this together
Cause this might just be our chance

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Hold on, don't lose this to forever
There's no promise of another day
Slow it down, we can step through these together
Cause this might just be our last chance

This Might Be Our Chance

I write the songs that make the whole world cringe.
