Jon Mclaughlin - Ok Now (2008) by Jon Mclaughlin (보컬) on maniadb.com

There are times every now and then
I forget why I'm breathing out
And why I'm breathing in
And I get so sick with the little things
I can't relax when it's happening
To know what it means
It means

And then I open my eyes
And I know you're beating my heart, beating my heart
Look at the sky
I know you're beating my heart, beating my heart
I go extra miles to show
That you are the one thing that I've got
Look at the sky
I know you're beating my heart, beating my heart

There's a sun coming over the horizon
I wanna know where it's coming from
But doesn't everyone
It's like who am I and why am I here

And then I open my eyes
And I know you're beating my heart, beating my heart
Look at the sky
I know you're beating my heart, you're beating my heart
I go extra miles to show
That you are the one thing that I've got
I look at the sky
I know you're beating my heart, you're beating my heart

This whole world will take me down
Without you standing by my side
My side
You're holding onto me
You're making everything inside
Come alive

And then I open my eyes
And I know you're beating my heart, beating my heart
Look at the sky
I know you're beating my heart, you're beating my heart
I go extra miles to show
That you are the one thing that I've got
I look at the sky
I know you're beating my heart, you're beating my heart

They tore my high school to the ground
And put a new wing in the east lot
On my old parking spot
It stands reminding me of how
I wish that I could travel back in time
Change my state of mind

So if you're still in your teens listen to me

It's hard to see beyond these walls
Of who you hope and who hope not to be
Socially
Maybe you're in or you're out
But in the end when all your hats are in the air
Nobody's gonna care

So fair the weight
Freshmen hold on
It's only four years long
Then it's gone
And the queen of the nerds and the king of the prom get a job
Look at them now (look at them now)
She's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown
So be cool, be hot, be weird
It's just four years

Next time you're walking through your school
Take at who's surrounding you
Or hounding you
Cause it's all just castles in the sand
When your tassel's on the left side of your head
You're never going back

So homecoming court, vote on
It's only four years long
Then it's gone
And the king of the nerds and the queen of the prom get a job
Wouldn't you know?
He's a CEO and she answers his phone
So be cool, be hot, be weird
It's just four years

And as for your grades I know they're important
Everyone wants to be a whiz
Cause all of it goes on permanent transcripts
I just don't know where mine is

So fair the weight
Freshmen hold on cause every homecoming court moves on
It's only four years long
Then it's gone
And the queen of the nerds and the king of the prom get a job
Look at them now
She's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown
So be cool, be hot, be weird
Oh, be hot, be wild, you're here
Oh. be cool, be hot, be weird
It's just four years

And you can never go back

Well Jackie you can be anything you want
Well that's what they said when you were young
But you never been good at moving on

Are you still at the corner restaurant
Meeting Jamie McKay when you get off
Don't you know that it's all a sad mirage

And you can never go back to Xanadu
Running with the young and the restless
Nothing better to do
Nothing yet to lose

And you can never go back
To Avalon
Stolen with the bold and the beautiful
Those days are gone
Don't you know those days are gone
And you can never go back

Whoa Whoa Whoa
You can never go back
Whoa Whoa

Jackie didn't you say you'd be a star
Maybe it was the world that made it hard
Or maybe you've just forgotten who you are

Can't you see that you're living in the past
Maybe this is the time for me to ask
Are you ready to move on, it's been too long

And you can never go back to Xanadu
Running with the young and the restless
Nothing better to do
Nothing yet to lose
And you can never go back to Avalon
Stolen with the bold and the beautiful
Those days are gone
Don't you know those days are gone
And you can never go back

And you can never go
And you can never go
Back to Xanadu
Running with the young and restless
Nothing better to do
Nothing yet to lose
And you can never go back
To Avalon
Stolen with the bold and the beautiful
Those days are gone
Don't you know those days are gone
And you can never go back

Whoa Whoa Whoa
Go back
And you can never go back
Whoa Whoa Whoa
You can never go back
You can never go, no you can never go, and you can never go back.

I'm not a fool
I know all the rules
You can't trick me, get one by me
There's nothing I haven't seen before
How can you be sure
You're the only one who's working an angle tonight
So if we're gonna play this game
Look me in the eye and...

Tell me you're in love
I'm the only one
Go on and lie to me
With all the things that you say
It's alright
Just give me tonight
Go on and lie to me
And I'll believe the things that you say

Show me what you want
Anything I got you can take it, fake it, make it
Whatever you're needing to believe
If we both agree we can't say we didn't see what was coming tonight
So if we're gonna play these parts
Look me in the eye and...

Tell me you're in love
I'm the only one
Go on and lie to me
With all the things that you say
It's alright
Just give me tonight
Go on and lie to me
And I'll believe the things that you say

I know you're not making sense
I know this is all pretend
But your dishonesty is killing me
So, baby, I'm all in

Tell me you're in love
I'm the only one
Go on and lie to me

Tell me you're in love
I'm the only one
Go on and lie to me
With all the things that you say
It's alright
Just give me tonight
Go on and lie to me
And I'll believe the things that you say

Tell me you're in love
I'm the only one
Go on and lie to me
With all the things that you say
It's alright
Just give me tonight
Go on and lie to me
And I'll believe the things that you say

I've been around for a little over 20 years
And to anyone who needs advice on getting here
Don't ask me, the path I took
Was not exactly by the book
By the book
I was too young to know and too dumb to figure out
That you can lose yourself in all this traveling around
When you reach a point of no return
Losing touch with lessons learned
Lessons learned
Let me tell you now where I went wrong
Hollywood is just another place I don't belong

Let's go to the middle where time stands still
Let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true
I'll be me and you be you

I'm finding out the ways of this world
Can be overcome with one boy's love for just one girl
And the only way to love yourself
Give your love to someone else
Someone else
Don't believe in everything you hear
Growing up is more than simply living through the years

Let's go to the middle where time stands still
Let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true
I'll be me and you be you

I'm disappointed in myself
I left you on a shelf that I could never reach
I practiced what you'd always preached against
But now I'm back in my defense
That black and white world we tried to paint is really gray

So it took a little time to get this right
The guilty and the innocent are always side by side

Let's go to the middle where time stands still
Let's get lost in those hills
Live a little closer to what is true
I'll be me and you be you
I'll be me and you be you
And I'll be me and you be you

I would never, ever let you go
All this fighting is really just a show
That we put on behind doors that
Everyone knows aren't closed

All these eyes are watching in the dark
Putting black holes in the stars
That we used to think we ours
Until they fell apart
Right now they seem so far

But all I know is the way you hold my heart
But all that shows is the way we fall apart
To a world I hate
You are the one I love
They'll say what they'll say
But they'll never say enough

I'll sing it more than once
That you are the one I love
After all of the things we've said and done
You are the one I love

There are couples, couples everywhere
Oh why, oh why does everyone care?
It's hard to be me and you
When all that everyone does is stare
Oh, all that they do is stare

Oh, all I know is the way you hold my heart
But all that shows is the way we fall apart
To a world I hate
You are the one I love
They'll say what they'll say
But they'll never say enough

Why can't we hide away?
All that I need is your face
To remind me that I feel this way

And all I know is the way you hold my heart
But all that shows is the way we fall apart
To a world I hate
You are the one I love
They'll say what they'll say
But they'll never say enough

And to a world I hate
You are the one I love
They'll say what they'll say
They'll never say enough

I'll sing it more than once
That you are the one I love
And you are the one I love

I've been lost on these endless streets
Such a long, long way from home
While you're stuck in an empty room
As you wait for me to show

You, you are always on my mind
You, you're always on
Always on..

Always, always
Always, always on my mind
Always, always
Always, always on...

When I sleep every dream is you
Filling up this empty bed
I awake to the sound of your voice
But it's only in my head

And I say you, you are always on my mind
I say you
You are always on

Always, always
Always, always on my mind
Always, always
Always, always on...

I always thought i could make it alone
But you make it so hard to leave

You, you're always on my mind
You are always on, always on

Always, always
Always, always on my mind
Always, always
Always, always on...

I need a chance
A kiss, your love
Your taste, I just can't get enough
Of your hands, your heart
From the very start
Through all of time
You're always on my mind

Whoa...
You can dance your life away

The sun sets on a Saturday night
And the keys are in my hand
Jamie says that she wants to stay in
But she just don't understand
I worked all week at the restaurant
And I just need to cut loose
So if you feel like me get your brand new shoes
Meet me at first avenue
No excuses
Let the music rock your body right

No more sorrow
We might not be here tomorrow
So just live for the moment
And dance your life away

Whoa...

The clock says it's a quarter past two
We just don't wanna leave
If we can't dance on the ceiling we'll be dancing in the street
No excuses
Let the music rock your body right

No more sorrow
We might not be here tomorrow
So just live for the moment
And dance your life away

No excuses
Let the music rock your body right

No more sorrow
We might not be here tomorrow
So let's live for the moment
And dance your life away

No more sorrow
We might not be here tomorrow
So let's live for the moment
And dance your life away

Whoa...
You can dance
Dance your life away

Entering a room on an autumn night
I ran across a beautiful sight
From that point on when I was not looking at her
I said, "Nothing else looked quite right"
Now I was not about just to let this go
I wasn't gonna leave and not know
The way her voice sounded against my ears
So I went over to say hello
I whispered in her ear real slow I said

The stars moved when you walked in the room
That's why I'm talking to you (That's why I'm talking to you)
I said my heart won't beat in the groove
Unless I'm talking to you (That's why I'm talking to you)
I know I'm not the only fool with eyes
And you'll get attention from all the other guys
I'm gonna stand here 'til you realize
Why I'm talking to you

Now I had to take a minute to take her in
I did not know where to begin
Cause I was just moved by the way she dressed
And the way her dress hit her skin
And any girl who's met any guy will know that
Some guys are just for show
So I looked into her eyes and I said,
"This is as true as the truth goes"
I'm gonna make sure I let everybody know that

The stars moved when you walked in the room
That's why I'm talking to you (That's why I'm talking to you)
I said my heart won't beat in the groove
Unless I'm talking to you (That's why I'm talking to you)
I know I'm not the only fool with eyes
But you'll get attention from all the other guys
I'm gonna stand here 'til you realize
Why I'm talking to you

Let me take a minute to explain myself
Let me say some words that may help
The reason why I've got to be close to you is just
I don't want nobody else
I'm gonna make sure I keep you all to myself

'Cause the stars moved when you walked in the room
That's why I'm talking to you (That's why I'm talking to you)
I said my heart won't beat in the groove
Unless I'm talking to you (That's why I'm talking to you)
But if I can't have you I am going to die
I'm gonna stand here 'til you realize
I'm gonna stand here 'til you realize
I'm gonna stand here 'til you realize

That's why I'm talking to you, oh
[x6]

She has the power
With every move she makes
To turn my eyes and turn my fate
To be here, to be here
But I am a liar
The promises I've made
Have broken down with my broken way
But I'll be here, I'll be here

And as long as I am
I'm gonna throw my love around
Throw my love around
Throw my love around
I'm gonna throw my love around
Throw my love around
Throw my love around

I see all the people with broken hearts
In an unfriendly world
Who cares who you are?
And it's not fair
They don't care
But you are here for me
And I am part of the life you're leading
So I won't move without you

I'm gonna throw my love around
Throw my love around
Throw my love around
I'm gonna throw my love around
Throw my love around
My love around

I'll be what I have to
I'll be what I have to be
I'll be what I have tom have to be
I'll be what I have to

And as long as I am
As long as I am
I'm gonna throw my love around
Throw my love around
Throw my love around
I'm gonna throw my love around
Throw my love around
Throw my love around

(Throw my love around, throw my love around)
I'll be what I have to be
I'm gonna be
(Throw my love around, throw my love around, throw my love around)

Come on, come on
You have got to move on
This is not the you I know
This isn't real
It's just all you can feel
And that's the way that feelings go
And whether or not it's right or wrong
You'll do what you will do

When the cloud in the sky
Starts to pour and your life
Is just a storm you're braving
Well don't tell yourself
You can't lean on someone else
Cause we all need saving sometimes

Say what you will
But the time that we fill
While we're on the earth
Should not be alone
We were meant to be known
You make me what I'm worth
But I can't keep you from yourself
You'll do what you will do

But when the cloud in the sky
Starts to pour and your life
Is just a storm you're braving
Well don't tell yourself
You can't lean on someone else
Cause we all need saving

I don't know why it has to be this way
And I don't know the cure
But please believe someone has felt this before

When the cloud in the sky
Starts to pour and your life
Is just a storm you're braving
Well, don't tell yourself
You can't lean on someone else
Cause we all need saving
We all need saving sometimes
Sometimes
