Alexz Johnson Lyrics

Mary lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Mary doesn't like nobody

She a real sad case

See Mary's like her lucky charms

Ya Mary doesn't know her place

The girl can't sleep

That Mary she can be real weak

She's got a heart of gold

But Mary thinks she's getting old

See Mary doesn't know somebody

Loves her more than life itself

She doesn't know somebody

Keeps a picture of her on their shelf

Mary doesn't know somebody

See's her eyes and begins to melt

Mary we'll wait

It's not too late

She doesn't know what she's missing

All the boys she'd be kissing

But she's deep in her head

C'mon Mary get your ass out of bed

I know I've read it in a story

But Mary never seems to bore me

She doesn't want to belong

Her mission is to prove you wrong

[Chorus]

Mary will come back someday

She'll find a way

There will come a day, I know

Mary will know what to do

She's breaking through

Mr. Mailman lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Mr. mailman

Not a fan

Mr. mailman

Just give me something I can stand

Mr. mailman

(I give up, coming around)

(Always pulling me down)

(I give up, I hope you're gone)

(When I'll be coming down)

Mr. mailman

Not a fan

Mr. mailman (I give up)

You ain't no man Mr. mailman

All hooked up to me

I don't understand

Paper in the wind

Kill the messenger

Doesn't make a sound

Paper in my hand

I don't understand

Kill the messenger

Mr. mailman

Not a fan

Mr. mailman

Just give me something I can stand

Mr. mailman

Mr. mailman

Not a fan

Mr. mailman

(I give up)

You ain't no man Mr. mailman

All hooked to me

I don't understand

Paper in the way

Kill the messenger

Doesn't make a sound

Paper in my hand

I don't understand

Give me some drugs

Kill the messenger

Mr. mailman

Not a fan

Mr. mailman

Just give me something I can stand

Mr. mailman

(I give up, coming around)

(Always pulling me down)

(I give up, I hope you're gone)

(Always pulling me down)

(I give up, I hope you're gone)

(When I'll be coming down)

Mr. mailman

Not a fan

Mr. mailman

You ain't no man Mr. mailman

You never come around

Mr. mailman

Paper Heart lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Dust, lust, and paper cuts

Gluin' up a wound is rough

Pen, page, can't erase

The things you swore you wouldn't say

Words turn, pages burn

Maybe why I never learn

Silhouette without a trace

I'm made of cellophane

You're seeing right through me

Left your ink in my veins

When you drew me a paper heart

A pa-pa-paper heart

Laying, folded in these sheets

Lost in origami dreams

Dead poet's poetry

Probably wrote the book on me

Blinded by his valentines

Tears are blurring all the lines

Letters burning up in flames

I'm made of cellophane

You're seeing right through me

Left your ink in my veins

When you drew me

You can't see the creases

Now that they're cut

I'm picking up pieces

Since you ripped up my paper heart

Why was I drawn to you?

How did I let you through?

I guess you always knew

That with you I'm just cellophane

(Seein' right through me) Left your ink in my veins

(When you drew me) I'm made of cellophane

You're seeing right through me

Left your ink in my veins

When you drew me

I can't see the creases

Now that they're cut

I'm picking up pieces

Since you ripped up my paper heart

A pa-pa-paper heart

My pa-pa-paper heart

Perfect lyrics - Alexz Johnson

(from "Instant Star: Greatest Hits" soundtrack)

Oh, oh, oh

Maybe I don't say all the right things

Maybe I stumble on the words

Maybe I laugh at all the wrong times

Maybe I mumble and I curse

The best I can do is to be myself

And I hope it's enough to make you proud

I can't explain just why I'm actin' this way

I can't control it, so go with it

I'm just a girl, I won't be changin' the world

And boy you know that, I'm not perfect

But I'm perfect for you

When you're in the room, my head is clear

You make the world just disappear

So open up your eyes and see

I can't explain just why I'm actin' this way

I can't control it, so go with it

I'm just a girl, I won't be changin' the world

And boy you know that

Oh yeah

I can't explain just why I'm actin' this way

I can't control it, so go with it

I'm just a girl, I won't be changin' the world

And boy you know that, I'm not perfect

I can't explain just why I'm actin' this way

I can't control it, so go with it

I'm just a girl, I won't be changin' the world

And boy you know that, I'm not perfect

But I'm perfect for you

Read My Mind lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Where you've been? I've been fine

what you see it's been some time

everywhere I go the light is gone

I'm OK living a life

been to the moon seen paradise

everywhere you go I come along

Everything I do is feeling wrong

no matter what I do the sun is gone

putting off the lie I'm fine

always on time

telling you I'm better off alone

If that's what I told you, it's a lie

will it be alright?

can you see me through this times

I don't know why

I'm dying inside

if only you could read my mind

Oh my God you look the same

isn't true? we never change

everywhere I go there is no sun

Everything I do is feeling wrong

no matter what I do the sun is gone

putting off the lie I'm fine

always on time

telling you I'm better off alone

If that's what I told you, it's a lie

will it be alright?

can you see me through this times

I don't know why

I'm dying inside

if only you could read my mind

How are you to ever know

River Of Pain lyrics - Alexz Johnson

I, I was the apple of your eye

I was the boss of the sauce

'Til you said goodbye

Yeah you, you were the cheese to my moon

I never thought that anyone could come between me and you.

But now I know that I was wrong,

From me to you I write this song.

I cried a river of pain

So why, no matter what I try

Why you make me cry a river of pain?

Well,

I was the bees to your knees

I felt the earth moved beneath my feet

Summer days in holey jeans

But now, no I don't want you around

I wish to god that I had the heart

To do what you did and rip your's out

But now I know that I was wrong

From me to you I write this song

I cried a river of pain

So why, no matter what I try

Why you make me cry a river of pain?

Babe, I remember when

You would just pretend

But I love you so I let you in.

Now I'm feeling like a clown

Because you only messed around.

Now I'm crying on blank paper

In a major

Now I know that I was wrong,

From me to you I write this song.

No matter how or when you hear.

I write it for my health, my dear

I cried a river of pain

So why, no matter what I try

Why you make me cry a river of pain?

Saints Rush In lyrics - Alexz Johnson

You're giving up

You're leaving everyone behind

Held onto the rope of mine

Before you let go

City is too loud

With people coming in and out

You took a ferry the hell out

Not letting me know

The ways you're trying to love is okay

But can't hold too tight anyway

But now we go our separate ways

New day, this battle you win

The ship is coming

Just stay and let it begin

Your saints will rush in

You're a submarine

Hiding way down underneath

Thinking nobody can see

How low you can be

But we got machines

They're following your dreams

Can see through all your suffering

And then it shows me

That thief stealing a piece of your heart

I'll fix it if you let me start

You're tearing me ocean apart

New day, this battle you win

The ship is coming

Just stay and let it begin

Your saints will rush in

Hold your hand higher

Help me pick you up

I won't let you drown

No, can't get away

No matter what

It's not taking you down

(It's another new day)

(Cannot let you get away)

(It's another new day)

(The saints on their way)

(It's another new day)

(Cannot let you get away)

(It's another new day)

(The saints on their way)

New day, this battle you win

(It's another new day)

(Cannot let you get away)

(It's another new day)

(The saints on their way)

Just stay and let it begin

(It's another new day)

(Cannot let you get away)

(It's another new day)

(The saints on their way)

New day, this battle you win

(It's another new day)

(Cannot let you get away)

(It's another new day)

(The saints' on their way)

Just stay, just let it begin

(It's another new day)

(Cannot let you get away)

(It's another new day)

(The saints on their way)

Secret Heart lyrics - Alexz Johnson

I've tried to stop and cover up

The feelings stealin' by

They just wanna fly your way

But I'm afraid I'm shy

And I'm a fool

I'm zero cool

When it comes to you

So I've applied the rule:

I'll play it safe and hide

(But) behind the scenes, it's more extreme

I'd scare you away (I'd scare you away)

Through winding halls

Behind these walls

Lies buried what I don't say

Now I've kept my secrets locked inside

I wanna begin to let you in my mind

But here's where we hit the hardest spot

Letting you go deep into my secret heart

The way you take

Your hands and wake

Fingers through your hair

In my heart you're everywhere

And in the tears I die for

Like a day

You stared my way

And smiling asked my name

Took a while to breathe again

You think I'd know the answer

Now here we are

Beneath the stars

Can you see me shake?

I want you near

To share my fears

And promise this trust won't break

Now I've kept my secrets locked inside

And as I begin to let you in my mind

It's here that we hit the hardest spot

Letting you go deep into my secret heart

You

You tell me everything

And it makes me feel maybe I can do the same

Have patience with me

And eventually

I'll let you in again and again

Again

Begin to let you in my mind

Deep into my secret heart

I wanna begin to let you in my mind

Begin to let you in my mind

Now I've kept my secrets locked inside

And as I begin to let you in my mind

It's here that we hit the hardest spot

Letting you go deep into my secret heart

Shake It Off lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Sorry I left you at the altar

Or for flirting with your father

Sorry I ever even bothered

Shake, shake shake it off

Sorry I didn't like your mother

Maybe I never should have shot her

Oh, why don't you put me under water

Shake, shake, shake it off

Guess you didn't see the warning

I guess you did not see that big red light

Oh my lord is almost morning

Bang bang bang bang

And another one falls

Baby honestly I'm sorry

But you are the ending to my story

Ohh, did you really think you'd ever stop me?

Shake, shake, shake it off

Too late you're standing in my doorway

Too bad it had to happen this way

Bad luck it had to be a sunday

Ohh shake, shake shake it off

Guess you didn't see the warning

I guess you did not see that big red light

Oh my lord is almost morning

Bang bang bang bang

And another one falls

I'm losing my mind

Losing my mind

Guess you didn't see the warning

I guess you did not see that big red light

Oh my lord is almost morning

Bang bang bang bang

And another one falls [x2]

Shout lyrics - Alexz Johnson

(2008 live version)

Listen baby to what I say

You only want what you've thrown away

Broken tables, you're unstable

(Looks like someone has won)

These pirate games

(I'm loading up your gun)

I'm ready to take all the blame

(But still I play along)

While sinking in sand I find

But no I am not moving

This checkmate is the last time

(It's just how high you climb)

There's ivory in this spine

(Be cleaning up tomorrow)

Keeping what you've left behind

(You need a little faith to shine)

To know the sun will set

It will be dark by eight

And winter's as cold as it gets

Wanna make you hear

Gotta walk away

Wanna make you dance

Gotta move this way

Wanna hear you breathe

Without a doubt

Wanna make you sing

Wanna make you shout

Listen baby to what I say

You only want what you've thrown away

Broken tables, you're unstable

Listen honey, listen well

I'm only yours soon as you get well

You're designer, nothing finer, no

(No, I'm not in denial)

I see my violins

(It's taking you awhile)

Watching all this soaking in

(Was never made of tin)

Can't keep it up no more

But like it's always been

I'm sleeping underneath your door

Gonna stop my heart

It's running wild

I gotta tie a knot

No, I ain't no child

Listen baby to what I say

You only want what you've thrown away

Broken tables, you're unstable

Listen closer, ear to a can

I'm only here under your command

Got three wishes, clean your dishes

Oh, yeah

Oh, no

I don't mind that baby

No, I don't mind that lately

If you're coming my way

I don't mind

No, I don't mind

I don't mind that baby

I don't mind that lately

If you're coming my way

I don't mind, I don't mind

Listen baby to what I say

You only want what you've thrown away

Broken tables, you're unstable

Listen honey, listen well

I'm only yours soon as you get well

You're designer, nothing finer

Nothing finer, no

Oh, no

Oh....mmm

Skips lyrics - Alexz Johnson

I feel my heart doesn't fit

Cause it beats too many times

And it skips

Running races is my head and then

I feel my hands don't work

Touching your skin in the dark

I was put here to watch

Not meant to get caught up in

Close to your skin

Up and down on this merry-go-round

Take me up

Put me back in one piece

But let me feel you

Well here I am

Landing myself again

Ready to fake it on a whim

But let me break him in

Let me break him in

I made a choice

Try and make myself invisible

Make sure I can fit it

Cause I'm sick of feeling miserable

Hidden by some lies

Sacrifice my friendly ties

Started from scratch

Won't attack if he walks my way

Hear what he has to say, yeah yeah

I feel my heart doesn't fit

Cause it beats too many times

And it skips

Running races is my head and then

I feel my hands don't work

Touching your skin in the dark

I was put here to watch

Not meant to get caught up in

Close to your skin

I made a choice

Try and make myself invisible

Make sure I can fit it

Cause I'm sick of feeling miserable

Hidden by some lies

Sacrifice my friendly ties

Started from scratch

Won't attack if he walks my way

Hear what he has to say, yeah yeah

I feel my heart doesn't fit

Cause it beats too many times

And it skips

Running races is my head and then

Sleeping Like A Baby lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Money in the way

And another day

Only touching water 'cause your hands aren't clean

Yeah

Calculator mind

You're running on time

Wishing you were jumping over stones all day

See you

Why are you waiting,

Why are you waiting

You're gonna lose

Gonna gonna lose

If your weekends aren't free no more

What the hell are you working for?

If you're not drinking any water,

Why does the rain even bother

Sunday's don't rest your head,

Then tell me why you making your bed?

You should be sleeping like a baby

(sleeping like a baby)

And dreamin' of your lady

(dreamin' of your lady)

(dreamin' of your lady, should be sleeping like a baby)

Quarter past eleven

You know somebody's seven

Wishing you were on an escalator up to heaven

Been leaving it alone

Touching telephones

Haven't touched a body since you left your home

See you

What are you taking,

What are you taking back home with you?

If your weekends aren't free no more

What the hell are you working for?

If you're not drinking any water,

Why does the rain even bother

Sunday's don't rest your head,

Then tell me why you making your bed?

You should be sleeping like a baby

(sleeping like a baby)

And dreamin' of your lady

(dreamin' of your lady)

Tell me what your mother said,

Voices filling up your head.

Boy you got some skin to shed,

Bet you wash your hands instead.

See you

What are you taking,

What are you taking back home with you?

If your weekends aren't free no more

What the hell are you working for?

If you're not drinking any water,

Why does the rain even bother?

Sunday's don't rest your head,

Then tell me why you making your bed?

You should be sleeping like a baby

(sleeping like a baby)

And dreamin' of your lady.

If your weekends aren't free no more

What the hell are you working for?

If you're not drinking any water,

Why does the rain even bother

Sunday's don't rest your head,

Then tell me why you making your bed?

You should be sleeping like a baby

And dreamin' of your lady

Money in the way

And another day

Only touching water 'cause your hands aren't clean

Steal My Love lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Walking through the airport

Checking in the flight

Wondering who I'm going

To be sitting beside

Looking at the faces

Studying the lines

Maybe he's a Matthew

And he'll think I'm Caroline

He's looking my way

But I kind of hope he doesn't

Something I might say

Will make me sort of wish he wasn't

Sitting so close

My heart's beating like a drum

Drum drum drum

Baby I don't show it

But deep down I'm hoping for it

Somebody's gonna find a way to steal my love

Maybe I'm ridiculous

To push it all away like this

Better be gone with it

Or steal my love

Steal my love, Steal my love

I built up my walls

Three-thousand feet high

Sitting in the middle

With towers on either side

Built my little army

40 legions strong

Ready to battle all emotion that comes along

He's walking away

And I kinda wish he wouldn't

I could keep him here

But somehow I think I shouldn't

Watch him disappear

My heart's beating like a drum

Drum, drum, drum!

Baby, I don't show it

But deep down I'm hoping for it

Somebody's gonna find a way to steal my love

Baby, I'm ridiculous

To push it all away like this

Better be gone with it or steal my love

Steal my love, steal my love

Steal my love, steal my love Steal my love, steal my love

Steal my love, steal my love

Safe, safer this way

Safe, I'm safe for the day

I'm late, Gotta leave, gotta run

Gotta go,

Oh I gotta get going

Baby, I don't show it

But deep down I'm hoping for it

Somebody's gonna find a way to steal my love

Baby, I'm ridiculous

To push it all away like this

Better be gone with it or steal my love

Steal my love, steal my love

Steal it away,

You gotta steal my heart

Steal my love

You gotta steal my love

Steal my love

Sunshine Reigns lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Sunshine reigns

Sunshine, sunshine reigns

Na na na na

I try to smile

Na na na na

I see the world

Through tear filled eyes

I see the rain falling down

I try to smile, but there's no disguise

I see the pain all around

Has the search for revelation

Somehow made us blind

Do we have the wisdom

To know we've crossed the line

And can we shower our love one more day

Can we shower our love on the pain

If we shower our love on the pain

Sunshine reigns

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

It's time for us

To make a change

Living in our final hour

But take the time

To rearrange

It's all within all the power

So we're sending out a message

To each and everyone

If we put our hearts together

We can live as one

And can we shower our love one more day

Can we shower our love on the pain

If we shower our love on the pain

Sunshine reigns

Na na na na

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ships are flyin

Boats are flyin

People dyin

Can you hear their voices calling?

Country siding

People lying

Thunder starting

Can't you see the skies falling?

We can shower our love on the pain

Sunshine reigns

Oh yeah yeah oooh yeah

Sunshine reigns

Transparent Lies lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Ooh, mmm...oh

Furtive lies and insinuation

All designed to tarnish my reputation

And devised by you without explanation

Tell me why

Why ya spreading all these lies

Mmm

I try hard to end all this chaos

But when you disparage me

You betray us

Said we'd be friends until the end

And now I'm crushed

Tell me why

Why you feel the need to lie

Baby lies

They poison everything in sight

Those who lie

Can never keep track or take them back

Baby lies

Keep messin' with the sleep at night

You never can disguise

Transparent lies

What you said continue to taunt me

And the way you squander love

Well it haunts me

Baby, open your eyes and maybe you'll see

Your heart cries, listen and apologize

Baby lies

They poison everything in sight

Those who lie

Can never keep track or take them back

Baby lies

Keep messin' with your sleep at night

You never can disguise

Transparent lies

I gotta story you wanna tell

About a girl who loved a guy more than life itself

But he got overwhelmed and undermined himself

Telling lies, flagrant lies

Lies...ooh

Baby lies, ooh

Transparent lies,

Lies, lies, lies, lies

Why you telling me lies

Lies

What Rock Have I Been Under? lyrics - Alexz Johnson

You're right, I'm wrong

You're tough, I'm strong

Moved on

What goes around comes back around

I like this place

You needed some space

Out of the way

What goes around comes back around

Hey there are you backing up

No so long or wishing any love

Planning your escape

I held the gate

I didn't wanna make you late

But now you're here

You make me wonder

What rock have I been under

Hello, you're back

Don't know how I feel 'bout that

Or how to move

What goes around comes back around

It's good, I'm good

While knocking on wood

Cause in my hood

What goes around comes back around

Well I'm fine now, what about you

I love a lot of little things

You get me through

I'm moving it along

Feeling out of it, I put it in a song

Now you're here, you're bringing thunder

What rock have I been under

Ooh

What rock have I been under

Hello, you're back

Don't know how I feel 'bout that

Or how to move

What goes around comes back around

Hey there are you backing up

No so long or wishing any love

Planning your escape

I held the gate

I didn't wanna make you late

But now you're here

You make me wonder

What rock have I been under

Ooh

What rock have I been under

What rock have I been...ooh

What rock have I been under

(What rock have I been under)

What rock have I been under

When's It Gonna Come? lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Suddenly I am alone

Oh my God, where did I go

Suddenly I'm missing home

Can you hear me

Get my bottle in the sea

Cause it would mean a lot to me

If you could come and help me out

Can you hear me

Cause I hope you're not too long

Can you help me

Barely holding on

This is not the way it's meant to be

Barely holding on

Hoping that someone would grab me

Barely holding on

There's gotta be a safer day to run

So when's it gonna come

Wasn't meant to be like this

Thought I was a pilot

That I was on top of it

Can you see me

Cause I've not been so brave

Can you save me

Barely holding on

This is not the way it's meant to be

Barely holding on

Hoping that someone would grab me

Barely holding on

There's gotta be a safer day to run

So when's it gonna come

No, when's it gonna come

Can you hear me

Cause I hope you're not too long

Can you hear me

So come and save me

Barely holding on

This is not the way it's meant to be

Barely holding on

Hoping that someone would grab me, no

Barely holding on

There's gotta be a safer day to run

Ooh, so when's it gonna come, ha

Ooh, when's it gonna come

Ooh, tell me when's it gonna come

When's it gonna come

When's it gonna come, ha

So tell me, when's it gonna come

Ooh, so tell me

When's it gonna come

So tell me, when's it gonna come

Where Do You Go? lyrics - Alexz Johnson

I'm as blue as blue can be

I'm surprised you even recognize me

When you're gone for seven weeks

Not surprised if you're done with me

You think I'm fine

You've been so blind lagging behind

This [?] is tough to keep

I'll be there when I can bear

Don't wait up for me

No, I haven't had much sleep

I've been counting all the moons on the balcony

You think it's a lie

I'm telling you why

I'm lagging behind

I'm losing my mind

But you've been so blind, lagging behind

Where do you go when you feel no good

Where do you go when you know you should

What do you say when you feel that way

Where do you go (where do you go)

Where do you go away

Now I've lost all since of time

I'm surprised, there's a sun rise

I've been on this yellow road

Will it take me to the witch of the city of gold

Will it shine, friend of mine

Lagging behind, oh yeah

And you think I'm fine

But you've been so blind but lagging behind

Where do you go when you feel no good

Where do you go when you know you should

What do you say when you feel that way

Where do you go

(Where do you go)

Ooh, when you're running out of shame

(Where do you go)

When you're running out of highway

(Where do you go)

Ooh, when you need someone to love

But there isn't anybody

(Where do you go)

Where do you go when you feel no pain

Where do you go when you know you should

What do you say when you feel that way

Where do you go

(Where do you go)

Where do you go away

I'm as blue as blue can be

I'm surprised you even recognize me

Wings Of A Dove lyrics - Alexz Johnson

Wake up with a cage around me

My heart is in a knot

My lashes getting caught

It's fake, I hate you

For everything you did

The fight we never fought

There's a storm raging inside

And I'm trying to calm it down

Sometimes I get the upper hand

This time I hit the ground

Pulling back the pieces

That are shattered since your love

It's like stitching the feathers

Back on the wings of a dove

Shake it off, denial

Everyone can tell this girl's not doing well

Get up, oh, get going

See leaving you was easy

But missing you is hell

There's a storm raging inside

And I'm trying to calm it down

Sometimes I get the upper hand

This time I hit the ground

Pulling back the pieces

That are shattered since your love

It's like stitching the feathers

Back on the wings of a dove

And I know this is my mess

And I know I should've let 'em go

And I showed it's a joke

But I choke when trying to laugh

Ahh, I don't know

There's a storm raging inside

And I'm trying to calm it down

Sometimes I get the upper hand

This time I hit the ground

Pulling back the pieces

That are shattered since your love

It's like stitching the feathers

Back on the wings of a dove

Part of me won't give up

Wants to turn back the clock

Part of you is still caught

Through the seams of my heart

Part of me can't believe

That I'm losing control

Part of you let's me know

That I'm ready to go

There's a storm raging inside

And I'm trying to calm it down

Sometimes I get the upper hand

This time I hit the ground

Pulling back the pieces

That are shattered since your love

It's like stitching the feathers

Back on the wings of a dove

I got no clothes for you to borrow
But I got places you can lay your head
I don't read books that I can lend ya
But I can see your history's been read

You know that I've been looking at ya
And I can see that they have poisoned your head
I got no place that I can send ya
Got holy water here instead

It makes me stop and wonder
What spell have I been under?
Who taught you the voodoo that you do?
But I can see your glory
I wanna write your story
Somebody's voodoo's got me binded to you

I know you're looking at your shadow
And getting by by the kindness of strangers
You got me wearing my stilettos
And now I'm looking out for any kind of danger
You got the prowl of a tiger
Ya baby I can see your stripes
You got me hanging on your wire
At any moment you could strike

It makes me stop and wonder
What spell have I been under?
Who taught you the voodoo that you do?
But I can see your glory
I wanna write your story
Somebody's voodoo's got me binded to you

It makes me stop and wonder
What spell have I been under?
Who taught you the voodoo that you do?
But I can see your glory
I wanna write your story
Somebody's voodoo's got me binded to you

And even when it's eating me alive
Your power ties my spirit up inside
There's nothing I can do to make it right
I'll follow you forever through the night
I'm part of you for the rest of my life
The spell upon my heart won't let me lie
I'll be here now until the day we die
That voodoo is the one that will decide
Somebody's voodoo
Can I make it through tonight?
Somebody's voodoo
I make it through
Somebody's voodoo
Can I make it through?
Somebody's voodoo
Can I make it through?
Somebody's voodoo

It makes me stop and wonder
What spell have I been under? (Somebody's voodoo)
Who taught you the voodoo that you do?
But I can see your glory (Somebody's voodoo)
I wanna write your story
Somebody's voodoo's got me binded to you

It makes me stop and wonder (Somebody's voodoo)
What spell have I been under? (Somebody's voodoo)
Who taught you the voodoo that you do?
But I can see your glory
I wanna write your story
Somebody's voodoo's got me binded to you (Somebody's voodoo)

Somebody's voodoo
Somebody's voodoo
Somebody's voodoo
Somebody's voodoo

Gonna Get It lyrics - alexz johnson

Maybe it'll never come around
Maybe let you push me to the ground
I'll go 'cause if I don't it's taking me down

And I deal 'cause none of it is real
I deal 'cause I'm covering to heal
I'll go no need to reap the seeds that I sow

But oh you're gonna get it
Gonna get it
Gonna get it
You're gonna get it, gonna get me good
Oh, you're gonna get it
Gonna get it
Gonna get it
You're gonna get it, gonna get me good

Oh no won't let it go
Give it up won't take my soul (You're gonna get it, gonna get me good)
Oh no won't let it go (Gonna get it)
Give it up won't take my soul (Gonna get me good)

So why me, why they coming after me?
All this, it's a conspiracy you see
Can't hide the more I stay awake, the more you try

It's not right, it's no way to live a life
No light, I'm running out of fight
Can't hide, the dreams are coming after me tonight

Oh you're gonna get it
Gonna get it
Gonna get it
You're gonna get it, gonna get me good
Oh, you're gonna get it
Gonna get it
Gonna get it
You're gonna get it, gonna get me good

Oh no won't let it go
Give it up won't take my soul (You're gonna get it, gonna get me good)
Oh no won't let it go (Gonna get it)
Give it up won't take my soul (Gonna get me good)

And I'm not falling
Not falling for it
I will not just let this take me in
So go away, go away
You will never win
I will never let myself fall in
Never let myself fall in

Oh no won't let it go
Give it up won't take my soul
Oh, you're gonna get it
Gonna get it
Gonna get it
You're gonna get it, gonna get me good

Oh no won't let it go
Give it up won't take my soul
Oh, you're gonna get it
Gonna get it
Gonna get it
You're gonna get it, gonna get me good

And I'm not falling
Not falling for it
I will not just let this take me in (Oh no won't let it go)
So go away, go away (Give it up won't take my soul)
You will never win
I will never let myself fall in (You're gonna get it, gonna get me good)
I will never let myself fall in
I will never let myself fall in

Look At Those Eyes lyrics - alexz johnson

Oh my look at those eyes
Look at the trouble that they hide inside
I see the flicker of the pain on the rise
Oh my look at those eyes

Maybe they're like mine
Things I wish I did not see
I push away all the dirt and debris
But what'll be left of me

No tell me it's not so
That people will come and they'll go
We push away all the love that we know
No tell me it's not so

Like in the eye of a storm
You're changing form
You feel the pull of the time ticking by
Oh my look at these times

But look at who's right beside you
When you're alone barely holding on
You leave your worries behind you
You're not alone in the dark
But look at who's right beside you
You're looking back thinking oh my god
That somebody's never left you
You're not alone in the dark

Oh my look at these skies
Look at the trouble that they hide inside
I see the flicker of the pain on the rise
Oh my look at these skies

Soothing like a lullaby
I don't wanna fight this fight
You feel the weight of the world on your mind
We leave it all behind

But look at who's right beside you
When you're alone barely holding on
You leave your worries behind you
You're not alone in the dark
But look at who's right beside you
You're looking back thinking oh my god
That somebody's never left you
You're not alone in the dark
You're not alone in the dark

You're not
You're not
You're not
You're not
You're not
You're not
You're not
You're not alone
You're not alone

It's been a long way long way long way home
It's been a lonely lonely lonely road
It's been a long time I can't find
So long I'm gonna lose my mind
It's been a long way long way long way home

But look at who's right beside you
When you're alone barely holding on
You leave your worries behind you
You're not alone in the dark
But look at who's right beside you
You're looking back thinking oh my god
That somebody's never left you
You're not alone in the dark

It's been a long
It's been a long way home
It's been a long way home
You're not alone in the dark

Oh my look at those eyes
Look at the trouble that they hide inside
I see the flicker of the pain on the rise
Oh my look at those eyes

Maybe they're like mine
Things I wish I did not see
I push away all the dirt and debris
But what'll be left of me

L.A. Made Me lyrics - alexz johnson

(L.A won't let me go, L.A owns...)

Baby, baby one without a name
Can't you see they're pouring you down the drain
I know, I know, I know, I know

Painted lady, crying their on the side
Poured her heart out, kissing him for a ride
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know

Boy
Tell me, tell me why are in it for the dough?
Tell me, tell me why are you selling out your soul?
Tell me, tell me why my baby?
I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do what you say

L.A, L.A why are you tearing her apart?
L.A, L.A why are you spitting on her heart?
L.A, L.A why so shady?

She said: L.A made me
She said: L.A made me

Stranger, stranger told you what to say
Left and dangered, took all your money
I know, I know, I know, I know

Maybe, maybe leave without a sound
Watch yourself, L.A. don't mess around
I know, I know , I know, I know (Do you really understand?)
I know, I know , I know

Tell me, tell me why are in it for the dough?
Tell me, tell me why are you selling out your soul?
Tell me, tell why my baby?
I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do what you say

L.A, L.A why are you tearing her apart?
L.A, L.A why are you spitting on her heart?
L.A, L.A why so shady?
I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do what you say

She said, she said:
L.A won't let me go, L.A owns my soul
L.A won't let me go, L.A owns my soul

Oh you gonna get it
Gonna get it
Oh you gonna get it

She said: L.A made me
She said: L.A made me

L.A won't let me go, L.A owns my soul
L.A won't let me go, L.A owns my soul

(L.A won't let me go, L.A owns my soul )

A Little Bit lyrics - alexz johnson

It's only gunna get better
It's only gunna get right
Cause when I borrow your sweater
It's all alright!
It's only gunna get happenin'
Cause I got one foot in your door
And when you told me you love me (Let's go!)

It's only gunna get messy
If you ain't got dirt on your floor
And when you told me you want me
I want you more, yeah I want you more

Cause all I ever needed was a little bit of lovin'
Yeah, a little bit of lovin' goes a long way

A little bit, a little bit, a little bit of love
All I ever needed was a little bit of love
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit of love
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit of love

Mr. Jones lyrics - alexz johnson

Mr. Jones in the middle of the door
Stepping in to step out
He's in town, he doesn't make a sound
What's this, what is this about

Oh, I figured it out but I'm a little unsure
I can't sleep here tonight
Won't ask, do I really wanna know
What Jones was doing last night

What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he's hiding and acting like nothing is wrong
Where'd he go?
There's he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone

Fine dine better wine then the rest
He's got looks to kill
In touch, but never too much
Oh no alone left with the bill

Black hat, cadillac, lots of cash
Lots at stake
Quick wits got a room at The Ritz
Can't judge a man by what he makes

What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he's hiding and acting like nothing is wrong
Where'd he go?
There's he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone

You wanna do you do you wanna
Piranha p-p-piranha
You wanna do you do you wanna
Piranha p-p-piranha

Piranha
Do you do you
I don't really wanna
Piranha p-p-piranha
Sleep without piranha
Do you wanna do you do you
I don't really wanna
You wanna Mr. Jones
Shhhh...
What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he's hiding and acting like nothing is wrong
Where'd he go?
There's he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone

What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he's hiding and acting like nothing is wrong
Where'd he go?
There's he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone

Do you wanna
Do you do you
I don't really wanna
Piranha p-p-piranha
Sleep without piranha
Do you wanna do you do you
I don't really wanna
Piranha p-p-piranha
Sleep without piranha
Do you wanna do you do you
I don't really wanna
Piranha p-p-piranha
Sleep without piranha
Do you wanna do you do you
Sleep without piranha
You wanna Mr. Jones

Superstition lyrics - alexz johnson

My hands are ice
It's out of my control
It's a change of heights, see
I wandered off the road
But the superstition
Gotta loosen up the rope, see
If there's a vision
You gotta let it show

But I'm looking in the mirror
I'm in the middle
Staying alive
I'm trying not to fear her
There's too much static
She's hard to fight
I'm hanging the receiver
I'll call you later
I need to save her
And baby if you see her
Tell her you love her

So what is coming?
It's out of my control
You see I've got no power
It's just electrical cords
But there's a superstition
Hang on to the hope
See if there's a vision
You've gotta let it show

I'm looking in the mirror
I'm in the middle
Staying alive
I'm trying not to fear her
There's too much static
She's hard to fight
I'm hanging the receiver
I'll call you later
I need to save her
And baby if you see her
Tell her you love her

It's many faces I have seen
Many ways in which I've loved
Bandaged up the broken dove (Tell her you love her, tell her you love her)
But I still believe that it can soar
I believe that in my core
Or tell me what are we here for?
I'm looking in the mirror
I'm in the middle
Staying alive
I'm trying not to fear her
There's too much static
She's hard to fight
I'm hanging the receiver
I'll call you later
I need to save her
And baby if you see her
Tell her you love her

Tell her you love her
Tell her you love her
Tell her you love her
Oh, tell her you love her
Tell her you love her
Tell her you love her
Tell her you love her
Oh, tell her you love her
Tell her you love her
Tell her you love her
Tell her you love her
Oh, tell her you love her

Trip Around The World lyrics - alexz johnson

Lets take a Trip Around The World today
In the back seat rolling down shady lane
Lets take a Trip Around The World today

The money, the money is getting in the way
Anyway you look at it, its looking at your face
Standing in line on a windy day
Youre pushing it along
Its pushing you away
I wont regret anything I say
Why do people care what I think anyway
We can forget about the trouble and the pain
And leave it in the water let it water down the drain

[CHORUS:]
Lets take a Trip Around The World today
In the back seat rolling down shady lane
Lets take a Trip Around The World today
I like it, I like it that way
I dont mind if you dont mind
But we can see what the hell we will find
Lets take a Trip Around The World today
I like it, I like it that way

You love it, I love it, I love it when youre free
Anyway you look at it, its how its meant to be
Nine to five is becoming a disease
Not even a second left to bandage up your knee
Make the rules to your own game
Sip your champagne and tell em where to get some
At the end of the day enjoy the taste
Were on a big balloon floating in space

[CHORUS]

Listen, listen it could be an addiction
Missing every moment like a physical condition
It brings you down and isnt it profound
Stop and take a second look around this town
Things are changing all the time
Keep it in mind when youre feeling kicked down
The doubt, the trouble and the drought
You take it in before it takes you out

[CHORUS x2]

Hurricane Girl lyrics - alexz johnson

All I need, all I know
Beg you please, no I won't let go
Moving on, it's not the same
All messed up and it's that I blame
Oh I came that way, oh I came that way
Oh I came that way, oh I came that way

People talking like they don't even know where they're walking
Hurricane girl
About to explode
Pieces missing, like they don't even know how to listen
Hurricane girl, hurricane girl
About to explode

Show me love, show you love
It's like a trick, we have to rise above
Let me face you in the eyes
Let you know that when I did, I die
Oh we came that way, oh we came that way
Oh we came that way, oh we came that way

People talking like they don't even know where they're walking
Hurricane girl
About to explode
Pieces missing, like they don't even know how to listen
Hurricane girl (Hurricane girl)
About to explode

All I need, all I know
Beg you please, no I won't let go
Moving on, it's not the same
All messed up and it's that I blame

People talking like they don't even know where they're walking
Hurricane girl
About to explode
Pieces missing, like they don't even know how to listen
Hurricane girl, hurricane girl
About to explode

Taker lyrics - alexz johnson

She'll take your time
She'll give it all away
Holding on to your tails leaving you astray

Oh she'll take it
Taking it she'll run
Running and running and running and running until you're done

She'll leave you dry
Sore on the floor
Salt in your eyes and a wound in your soul

She's in the dark
She's stealing angel's wings
Love's transfused
Sacrificing everything

I'm a taker take me back Steven
You ever said I wouldn't fight my way through
I'm a taker take me back Steven
What will it take to get me through to you?
I'm a taker not a heartbreaker
Whoever said I wouldn't fight my way through
I'm a taker taking from the start
I'm just a taker who didn't mean to break your heart

She's with the devil
Walking by his side
She'll stake you're heart when she looks you in the eye

She's says: "Forgive me! I didn't mean to!"
Full of every burden and she's full of every lie

She'll leave you dry
Sore on the floor
Salt in your eyes and a wound in your soul

Don't forgive her
Don't believe
She's on a mission and this girl is me

She say
I'm a taker take me back Steven
You ever said I wouldn't fight my way through
I'm a taker take me back Steven
What will it take to get me through to you?
I'm a taker not a heartbreaker
Whoever said I wouldn't fight my way through
I'm a taker taking from the start
I'm just a taker who didn't mean to break your heart

You think you know think you know think you know, but you don't
You think you're right think you're right think you're right, but you're wrong

I'll never let you know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you know
I'll never let you know

I'm a taker take me back Steven
You ever said I wouldn't fight my way through
I'm a taker take me back Steven
What will it take to get me through to you?
I'm a taker not a heartbreaker
Whoever said I wouldn't fight my way through
I'm a taker taking from the start
I'm just a taker who didn't mean to break your heart

I'm just a taker who didn't mean to break your heart
I'm just a taker who didn't mean to break your heart
I'm just a taker who didn't mean to break your heart
I'm just a taker who didn't mean to break your heart

It didn't mean it didn't mean anything
It didn't mean it didn't mean anything

Deeper lyrics - alexz johnson

If we don't talk
That's okay
Cause I hear everything
That you say
You got my heart to mend to you
A hole that hurts inside
It shows
And you can't hide
But if we open up
We'll break through

You and I go deeper
Down below where no one sees it
When you close your eyes
And just believe it
You and I go deeper
Where everything's unspoken
And the world seems so wide open
To me now

You got broken once before
Closed your heart up
And said no more
We were trying not to fall
Afraid of letting go
Wait until we know now

You and I go deeper
Down below where no one sees it
When you close your eyes
And just believe it
You and I go deeper
Where everything's unspoken
And the world seems so wide open
To me now

And the morning shines much brighter to me
Somehow, maybe this can last forever
If we follw what we feel
And you love me like I know you will

You and I go deeper
Down below where no one sees it
When you close your eyes
And just believe it
You and I go deeper
Where everything's unspoken
And the world seems so wide open
To me

You and I go deeper
Down below where no one sees it
When you close your eyes
And just believe it
You and I go deeper
Where everything's unspoken
And the world seems so wide open
To me now

2 A.M. lyrics - alexz johnson

[VERSE 1:]
Snow falls on the city
white on white
It's the color of hope
on an unforgiving night
you kissed me into ruins
sin on sin
now i've gotta love your love letters
written on my skin

[CHORUS:]
I can't tell the stars from the downtown lights
If i said I was truly over you
my heart would say amen
but I'd give in to the cold caress of 2 am.
If I admit I can't get used to this
will my heart break again?
as i fall into the waiting arms of 2 AM

[VERSE 2:]
someone's scratchy music through the walls.
sirens weavin' thru the streets
i must have missed your call
gathering up these nights
black on black
i know your voice like it's my own
and it makes my heart go slack

[CHORUS:]
I can't tell the stars
From the downtown lights
If I said I was truly over you
My heart would say amen
But I give in to the cold caress of 2 AM
If I admit I can't get used to this
Will my heart break again?
As I fall
Into the waiting arms of 2 AM

Oh
If I said I was truly over you
My heart would say amen
But I give in to the cold caress of 2 AM
If I admit I can't get used to this
Will my heart break again?
As I fall
Into the waiting arms of 2 AM
Of 2 AM

Higher Ground lyrics - alexa johnson

I've been crawling
To the mountains
Skinned my knees with blood and hope
If I stayed standing
I'd be drowning
The rising waters made me choke

As I am getting nearer
My mission is coming clear

I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind unopened doors
I saw the signs from the distant shore
That I couldn't ignore...

I'm heading for higher ground

I left everyone behind me
I took everything I know
Half way up and I'm still climbing
Still a million miles to go

The water is drawing nearer
As everything disappears

I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind unopened doors
I saw the signs from the distant shore
That I couldn't ignore...

I'm heading for higher ground

And my foot slips
But I don't quit
And my hand grips the rock
Something pulls deep
From within me
Til I get there, I won't stop

I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind unopened doors
I saw the signs from the distant shore
That I couldn't ignore

I know this road
Never seen it before
I know what lies behind unopened doors
I saw the signs from the distant shore
That I couldn't ignore

I'm heading for higher, higher ground

Way up here, the air is thin
Feels like I could go so far

That Was Us lyrics - alexz johnson

I tried to change
Tried everything
Like headlights in the rain
Drifting back again

Somewhere out there gathered in the dust
Sometimes I can't remember that was us

The stars divide
Our worlds collide
Surrounded like the air
You were with my everywhere

Somewhere out there lying in the dust
Sometimes I can't remember that was us

There was a time for reason
A place for every season
Times I couldn't run away from you
I can't believe it's mourning
I can't believe it's pouring
Should I leave you here and walk away?

I want to change
Try everything
I wanted you so bad
It nearly drove me mad

Somewhere out there gathered in the dust
Sometimes I can't remember that was us

Better now than never
Better late than forever
I never meant to waste your time
It doesn't seem to matter
Maybe nothing every really matters
Long enough to break it all away

Somewhere out there gathered in the dust
Sometimes I can't remember
Sometimes I can't remember
I can't remember that was us

Where Does It Hurt lyrics - alexz johnson

Where does it hurt.
Tell me 'cause I understand the words of a heart.
Beating like winds in my hand.
We can hide.
We'll never lie.
I'll always see into you.

There's nothing wrong with coming up empty and cold.
Staying too long and try to change rocks into gold.

I've been there too.
I've wasted myself.
And you were there for me.
So whenever you crash, whereever you lay, that's where I'll be.

And for ever endless midnight, there's a sky for a broken star.
And there'll always be a place for you, inside my arms.

Where does it hurt.
When you open your heart theres always so much to lose.
So far to fall and no where to go when it's true.

But if you let me in, I won't let you down. Put your faith in me.

'Cause whenever you crash, whereever you lay, that's where I'll be.
And for ever endless midnight, there's a sky for a broken star.
And there'll always be a place for you, inside my arms.
And there's a million streets to walk down, in this city of broken hearts.
But there'll always be a place for you, inside my arms.
Where does it hurt. [2x]

And for ever endless midnight, there's a sky for a broken star.
And there'll always be a place for you, inside my arms.
And there's a million streets to walk down, in this city of broken hearts.
But there'll always be a place for you, inside my arms.
Where does it hurt. [3x]

I Don't Know If I Should Stay lyrics - alexz johnson

Where’s my will,
Can I find a way,
The earth is wild,
And I can’t sit still,

A familiar sound,
A familiar voice,
Makes it so hard,
To make a choice,
I don’t know if I should stay,

A thousand stars,
You will have my word,
I’m bright enough,
To fill these cracks,

A familiar place,
A familiar voice,
Makes it so hard.
To make a choice,
I don’t know if I should stay,

I ran to you like water
I threw my body in
And I'll stand up on the ocean
Just to show you that I am strong, strong
But what if I am wrong

A familiar look
A familiar smile
Makes it so hard
To make a choice
I don’t know if I should stay away

Don't You Dare lyrics - alexz johnson

Dark cloud moving in
Just one fall of rain
Would wash away
Wash away the pain

Just one ray of sun, to warm my skin
Rid me of the cold you’re drowning

I could say that I don't care
But the truth is I'd follow you anywhere
I've been waiting such a long, long time
Don't you dare change your mind

Seems so close to me but still beyond my reach calling me and playing hide and seek
Look behind that door I’m the one you been searching for and I’m not a little girl anymore

I could say that I don't care
But the truth is I'd follow you anywhere
I've been waiting such a long, long time
Don't you dare change your mind

Don't wander round looking
For someone to replace me
Don't wander round wasting
The rest of your life
Don't wander round waiting
For someone else to save you
And don't you make the same mistake twice

I could say that I don't care
But the truth is I'd follow you anywhere
I've been waiting such a long, long time
Don't you dare change your mind

I could say that I don't care
But the truth I'd follow you
I've been waiting such a long, long time
Don't you dare change your mind

Don't you dare change your mind
Don't you dare change your mind

The Breakdown lyrics - alexz johnson

[Verse 1]
It's out to get me
And It's all in my hand
It wants to take me
Time to put me to bed
Can someone wake me?
Against my own will
And get me out of here
I'm Sick of walking on the pills
I've got a weakness
So tell me where is the place?
Can someone shake me?
And get me out of this fix?
All the white walls
Are closing in tight
I need to know
If I can get through the night

It wont let me
Everybody's out to get me

[Chorus]
Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Oh that the heaven screams all that I dream
Oh, will it ever let go
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown

[Verse 2]
All the vampires
Are out on the look
Do they see me
How long will it take
To chase the monster
That's still in my head
It's on the sea
And it needs to be fed
I have the witness
(it wont)
To what has been done
(let me)
It sorta had me
(everybodys out to)
And I think it has won
(get me)

[Chorus]
Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Oh, that the heaven screams all that I dream
Oh, will it ever let go
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown

[Bridge]
Oh break it down, break it down, and what you really want

All I've done today breakdown
Oh outta the way it's all a frown
Oh still again sit down
Oh I've done it again breakdown
Oh I've done it today breakdown
Oh outta the way it's all a frown

It won't let me
Everybody's out to get me

[Chorus]
Tell me that the lines are what they seem
Oh, that the heaven screams all that I dream
Oh, will it ever let go
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown
Oh, oh no, it's a breakdown

Liar Liar lyrics - alexz johnson

You said I was your everything,
You said I was the one,
You played me like a radio,
You use to love that I had no shame.

Pour my pain into words,
Hold my hand to the flame.

Tell me you'll love me like a star
Tell me you'll want me wherever you are,
Tell me you'll breathe me until your last breath.
Liar, Liar, oh, Liar, Liar.

Bit by bit I feel the draft,
Just sit back and watch it burn,
Hold your eyes up to my veins,
Call out, call out my name

Tell me you'll love me like a star,
Tell me you'll want me wherever you are,
Tell me you'll breathe me until your last breath.
Liar, Liar,
Oh, Liar, Liar, Liar, Liar, Oh, Liar, Liar

[Repeat Chorus]

Liar, Liar.

How Strong Do You Think I Am? lyrics - alexz johnson

If I don't cry, Do you think I don't feel?
If I look away, it doesn't mean I don't see,
And just because I want someone when I'm alone,
Doesn't mean I'm helpless,
That I can't stand on my own.

How far can we go before we break?
How long can I wait?

How strong do you think I am?
How much can I take of this?
Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?
Or the breath at the end of a kiss?
How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,
You make it harder than it has to be,
How strong, how strong do you think I am

It's so hard to tell,
What's in your heart,
What you keep to yourself,
Is tearing me apart,
And should I be afraid,
To dream about you?
And if you feel the same,
What you going to do?

How far can we go before we break?
How long can I wait?

How strong do you think I am?
How much can I take of this?
Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?
Or the breath at the end of a kiss?
How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,
You make it harder than it has to be,
How strong, how strong do you think I am

If I move in any closer,
If you let go and give yourself away,
and if we let this happen to us,
Everything will change.

How strong do you think I am?
How much can I take of this?
Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?
Or the breath at the end of a kiss?
How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,
You make it harder than it has to be,
How strong, how strong,
How strong do you think I am?
How much can I take of this?
Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?
Or the breath at the end of a kiss?
How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,
You make it harder than it has to be,
How strong, how strong, how strong, how strong do you think I am?

Anyone But You lyrics - alexz johnson

Sick of the line that's fading me
I never know what to believe
In a world that's crushing me
You're the only one I see

I don't change my mind for anybody.
I won't waste my time on just anybody.
I won't share my life...
With anyone but you
It's such a long way...
With anyone but you
I couldn't follow...
With anyone but you
Never anyone but you

They put my poster on the wall,
They watch and wait for me to fall,
They think they made me who I am.
Oh they don't know me at all.

I don't change my mind for anybody.
I won't waste my time on just anybody.
I won't share my life...
With anyone but you
It's such a long way...
With anyone but you
I couldn't follow...
With anyone but you
Never anyone but you

They build you up so high
So you can hardly see the stars beneath your feet
I'm falling through the cloud
Then it'll be the next to catch me

Ah, ah, ah
With anyone but you
It's such a long way..
With anyone but you
I couldn't follow...
With anyone but you
Never anyone but
Never anyone but
With anyone but you
It's such a long way..
With anyone but you
And I couldn't follow...
With anyone but you
Never anyone but you

How I Feel lyrics - alexz johnson

I know how this all must look
Like a picture ripped from a story book
I've got it easy
I've got it made

There's a golden road laid out before me
And everyone how they adore me
Like a diamond
In the sun

Did you just waste your breath
Asking me how I feel today
Or do you really want to know

I'm completely unconnected
Constantly rejected
Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
I'm drowning in emotion
In the middle of the ocean
Never knowing when it's over and I'm going down

That's how I feel

I know I signed up for this game
Where everybody knows my name
Now they own a little piece of me
My happiness fell off the track
And I'd do anything to get it back
Give this all, I'd give this all away

Did you just waste your breath
Asking me how I feel today
Is that a place you wanna go

I'm completely unconnected
Constantly rejected
Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
I'm drowning in emotion
In the middle of the ocean
Never knowing when it's over and I'm going down

Then you see me
You say you don't even know me
Couldn't pick me out of a line now
The girl you know is so far-gone
And I'm in hiding
Living life undercover
Smiling face for the camera
I'm not long for this world

I'm completely unconnected
Constantly rejected
Like everything I've ever loved is coming down
I'm drowning in emotion
In the middle of the ocean
Never knowing when it's over and I'm going down

That's how I feel

Then you see me
Say you don't even know me

There's Us lyrics - alexz johnson

There's me
Looking down at my shoes
The one smiling like the sun
That's you
What were you thinking
What was the song inside your head
There's us
Going on about a band
Working out how we play our hand
I lay there dreaming
Later all alone in my bed

If I was stupid
Maybe careless
So were you

Not everything is supposed to come true
Some words are best unsaid
Some love is not really love at all
I'll keep everything I shared with you
And that's enough
There's us

Freeze-frame
I'm not about to cry
It's too late for us to change
Why try
I've got a camera
Tucked away inside my heart

If I'm a loser
Or just unlucky
So are you

Not everything is supposed to come true
Some words are best unsaid
Some love is not really love at all
I'll keep everything I shared with you
And that's enough
There's us

Somewhere between then and now
I look away when you said we'll never change
And if you think what might have been
You'll lose today and we've got songs to play

Not everything is supposed to come true
Some words are best unsaid
Some love is not really love at all
I'll keep everything I shared with you
And that's enough
There's us
Not everything is supposed to come true
Some words are best unsaid
Some love is not really love at all
I'll keep everything I shared with you
And that's enough
There's us

Over-Rated lyrics - alexz johnson

[Verse 1]
You think it's cool, just cause they're telling you
You gotta have it, then you'll never miss it at all
You need the thrill, just cause it's killing you
You're so close, so don't take it too far

[Chorus:]
Where there's smoke you'll find a mirror
It's over-rated
I've watched it fade
So please don't give in
Don't forget what you believe in
It's over-rated
It's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love and then you'll hate it

[Verse 2]
Love and lost and everything between
It's perfect, it's poison that made me fall
You want it bad
Don't want it to slip away
It's too fast
It's gonna drag you down

[Chorus:]
Where there's smoke you'll find a mirror
It's over-rated
I've watched it fade
So please don't give in
Don't forget what you believe in
It's over-rated
It's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love and then you'll hate it

[Bridge:]
Coming close now, not any clearer
With every breath you're going deeper
But I will pull you back to me

It's over-rated
It's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love and then you'll hate it

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh..

It's over-rated
And it's over-rated
You learn to love and then you'll hate it
You learn to love and then you'll hate it
It's over-rated

Natural Disaster lyrics - alexz johnson

Am I another Casualty?
In the battle you're fighting?
You're your own worse enemy,
At war with yourself, but you can't see.

And I can't stand to watch,
Your comet coming fast,
Everywhere you go it seems that lighting strikes and then you crash,
I don't know how you do it,
It always ends the same,
Everywhere you go it seems lightning strikes but there's no rain, no rain.

Feel like you're moving in slow motion,
And you don't know where you're going,
You tried it all and it's too boring,
Tighten up your grip cause it's a long way down.

And I can't stand to watch,
Your comet coming fast,
Everywhere you go it seems lighting strikes and then you crash,
I don't know how you do it,
It always ends the same,
Everywhere you go it seems lightning strikes but there's no rain.

Watching you slip away,
It's getting harder everyday,
When you're coming down like a hurricane,
I can't stand to see you in pain,
So I just look away.

I can't stand to watch,
Your comet coming fast,
Everywhere you go it seems lighting strikes and then you crash,
I don't know how you do it,
It always ends the same,
Everywhere you go it seems lightning strikes but there's no rain, no rain, no rain...

Lightening strikes but there's no rain.

Fade To Black lyrics - alexz johnson

Three Days,
Eight Hours,
Fourteen minutes gone,
You bend,
I'll break,
Like in every song,
Maybe I'm too scared to call,
Maybe I'm too tough to fall.

Everything you are,
Everything reminds me of,
Everything you are,
Fades to black,
Everytime I see your face,
Screaming the secrets we share,
We fade to Black.

I call out for your warm embrace,
Feel your tears fall,
Upon my face,
What makes me so bullet proof?
What makes me act so removed?

Everything you are,
Everything reminds me of,
Everything you are,
Fades to black,
Everytime I see your face,
Screaming the secrets we share

Feels like I'm running,
Running as fast as I can,
Feels like I'm trying,
Trying to understand why I keep crashing as hard as I can into you.

Da da da,
Da da da,
Da da da da da da,
Da da da,
Da da da,
Da da da da da da,

Everything you are,
Everything reminds me of,
Everything you are,
Fades to black,
Everytime I see your face,
Screaming the secrets we share...

Everything you are,
Everything reminds me of,
Everything you are,
Fades to black,
Everytimes I see your face,
Screaming the secrets we share.

We fade to black

Another Thin Line lyrics - alexz johnson

I'm getting up know
the sun is burning my eyes and I ache
I'm living on a, freeway, running low on heart and good mistakes
I'm taking it to..living,just living all the lives I have to live
I'm playing off this feeling knowing that it's time to be forgiven

If I could only come around (I'm looking in the black)
Just stop and turn around (I need to get this off my back)
Am I outta my mind, for faking what's inside of me?

It's like I'm walking on another thin line
where the fools keep on thinking I'm blind
I'm waiting for the day (walking on another thin line)

I'm wide awake now its getting dark and I can't see my way
I'm living through the game now, by watching every word that I might say

And now I've gotta come around (I'm falling through the cracks)
And stop and turn around (Can't get this off my back)
Am I outta my mind, for faking what's inside of me?

It's like I'm walking on another thin line
where the fools keep on thinking I'm blind
I'm waiting for the day (walking on another thin line)
No, no, no I'm in the middle of a crime
taking left whats mine...As I fade away...
with everything I am

With everything I am
With all I have to stand
I'm not gonna fade, oh no!
Dragon tears and cover songs
When I've done nothing wrong
I just don't belong
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA

It's like I'm walking on another thin line
where the fools keep on thinking I'm blind
I'm waiting for the day (walking on another thin line)
I'm in the middle of a crime...
taking left what's mine
as I fade away

Not Standing Around lyrics - alexz johnson

I'd go where I've known
If the earth could find my feet
I would run away and go where I known

But you don't even care
No you don't even care
Whats fair

Not standing alone
Not standing around
While they sit there and wait until I lose my ground
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind
Won't let it pass me by no not this time
Not standing alone
Not standing around
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind

I keep so far
I nearly lost my mind
I held on so tight
And now I see that I was blind

Bu you don't even care
No you don't even care
What's fair

Not standing alone
Not standing around
While they sit there and wait until I lose my ground
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind
Won't pass me by no not this time
Not standing alone
Not standing around
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind

I have a party
I have a song
Don't need nobody ain't nothing wrong
I hear the talk
I hear the cry
Along the inside and looking out
Heyyyy

Not standing alone
Not standing around
While they sit there and wait until I lose my ground
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind
Won't pass me by no not this time
Not standing alone
Not standing around
Not letting it go
Won't leave it behind

Not standing around no no no
Not standing around no no no
Not standing around no no no
Not standing around no no no

Not standing around not standing around
Not standing around no no no

My Sweet Time lyrics - alexz johnson

[Verse 1]
Late at night hear the song spinning in my head
Heaven knows I can't sleep at all
I'm thinkin 'bout all my stuff missing my own bed
And all my friends but it's too late to call
Hanging out all day at the Holiday Inn
Waitin's such a drag until the band kicks in

[Chorus:]
I don't know where the next road goes but I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
getting it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be baby
Take my sweet time
But I'll be home again
In my own sweet time

[Verse 2]
Calling out every night and it just so good
How it works is a mystery
But I believe in my heart I'm doing what I should
With all these lost souls following
Waiting all day until let's begin
I love how it feels when the band kicks in

[Chorus:]
I don't know where the next road goes but I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
Getting it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be baby
Take my sweet time
But I'll be home again
In my own sweet time yeah

[Bridge:]
Maybe when this is over I'll understand
What I've got right here in my hands yeah
Maybe I
I'll ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus:]
I don't know where the next road goes but I feel the wheels rolling down below me
Take my sweet time
I'm getting it back again
What matters most will carry me
Through the night to where I wanna be baby
Take my sweet time
I'll be home again

In my own sweet Time yeah yeah..
In my own sweet time yeah yeah
In my own sweet time yeah

Who Am I Fooling lyrics - alexz johnson

My skin doesn't fit
My words seem so hollow
I feel like a fraud
And that's a bitter pill to swallow

Sometimes it hits me right between the eyes
Everyone can see through my disguise

Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl

All alone in the mirror
All alone on the shelf
I'm trying to hold on
To a little piece of myself

Doesn't anybody realize
Even I don't buy my own disguise

Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl

There's a part of me that's fighting back
There's a part of me that knows
When I'm pouring out my heart
I'm still putting on a show

Who am I fooling
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl
Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl
Who am I fooling
I'm just a smiling face
In a make-believe world
Who am I fooling
I'm just a wannabe
So easy to replace
Pretending I'm a perfect girl
Pretending I'm a perfect girl

White Lines lyrics - alexz johnson

I tried to tell you
I've got to get away
I tried to say
I need my space
I got to get some
Distance in between
My heart and my head

I'm on the razor's edge
I've been here before
I know the way

White lines
And headlights in my eyes
White lines
I'm ready to drive all night
White lines
How many 'till I'm in your arms
White lines
Will bring me home

I held you in
My arms last night
I dreamed we were
Riding on a star
I kissed you and
The sun began to shine
In dreams I can do anything

It seems like I'm on my own
It feels like I'm losing it all

White lines
And headlights in my eyes
White lines
I'm ready to drive all night
White lines
How many 'till I'm in your arms
White lines
Will bring me

Seems like I've been here before
I know the way
Seems like I've been on my own
So long
So long

White lines
And headlights in my eyes
White lines
I'm ready to drive all night
White lines
How many 'till I'm in your arms
White lines
Will bring me home

24 Hours lyrics - alexz johnson

I've been sitting in the dirt (for 24 hours)
I've forgotten what im worth (for 24 hours)
Said that you'd be here last night

I'm trying to shake you from my skin (for 48 hours)
Clean up this mess i've been put in (for 48 hours)
I'm guessing you can't always win
I'm guessing you can't always win

[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta

I'm not so trustful with my friends
I'm on the road alone again
I guess im tired of giving in

I'm sick of wishing you were near
You've gone your way, you've made it clear
Why do I feel you everywhere?
Why do I feel this everywhere?

[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta

Don't wanna spend my time
Watching the world go by
I think I'd rather die
And I dont got a plan
Don't wanna justify
To stay where I stand
Something I won't deny

[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta

[Chorus]
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone

Temporary Insanity lyrics - alexz johnson

Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da

What just happened?
Did you kiss me?
Cause that's a place we've never been until now

And I don't know how it's gonna be after this
Do we pretend these feelings don't exist at all
Or do we fall?

My confusion shows whenever you get so close
I stumble, I stutter, forget what to say
I'm nervous, I wonder why I'm acting this way

[Chorus]
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Woah, oh, oh (insanity)
Woah, oh, oh

You made a moved and changed your mind
Too much to lose, you've crossed the line between friends
And something more

Was it all a big mistake?
And if it was, it's much too late to undo
And I don't really want to

Let you go but I still don't know
How I feel about you
What this really means
It's crazy to want you
Is it meant to be?

[Chorus]
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Woah, oh, oh (insanity)
Woah, oh, oh

Oh, what you do to me?
What comes over me, oh?
If this is crazy there's nothing I'd rather be

Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da

[Chorus]
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
