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
Not a fan

Give me some drugs
Kill the messenger

You never come around
You never come around

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
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
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
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
How are you to ever know
How are you to ever know
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
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
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
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
I'm losing my mind
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)
(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
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
Oh I gotta get going
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 my love, steal my love
Steal it away,
You gotta steal my heart
Steal my love
You gotta steal my love
Steal my love
Steal my love
Sunshine Reigns lyrics - Alexz Johnson
Sunshine reigns
Sunshine, sunshine reigns
Na na na na
Na na na na
I try to smile
Na na na na
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
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
We can shower our love on the pain
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
What rock have I been under
Oh
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
Oh
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
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
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
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
Oh
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
