I'm writing you to catch you up on places I've been
You held this letter probably got excited,
But there's nothing else inside it

Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it
When I'm in the mood

I've these dreams of
Walking home
Home where it used to be
And everything is
As it was
Frozen in front of me

Here I stand

I am an architect
Of days that haven't happened yet
I can't believe a month is all it's been
You know my paper heart
The one I fill with pencil marks
I think I might have gone and inked you in

Little by little, inch by inch

Just when I had you off my head
Your voice comes thrashing wildly through my quiet bed
You say you wanna try again
But I've tried everything but giving in

Why you wanna break my heart again
Why am I gonna let you try

I work in the dead of night
When the world's quiet, no one is around
Track my moves, racing the yellow lights
To find the gate is open, she's waiting in the room
I just step on through

You get in, you get done and then you get gone
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone

Back to you
It always comes around
Back to you
I tried to forget you
I tried to stay away
But it's too late

Over you

Is there anyone who
Ever remembers changing there mind from
The paint on a sign?
Is there anyone who really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time

Everyone believes

This is a call to the color-blind
This is an IOU
I'm stranded behind a horizon line
Tied up in something true

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)

Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on

Now and then I pace my place
I can't retrace how I got here
I cheat the light to check my face
It's slightly harder than last year

[CHORUS]
And all at once it gets hard to take
It gets hard to fake what I won't be

if melody
is my destiny
then what's left of me,
i'll give to you..
and if next to me,
is all that you need to be
would you settle for fantasy,
if it's the best you could do?

I never liked this apple much
It always seemed too big to touch
I can't remember how I found
My way before she came around

I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love

I worry, I weigh three times my body
I worry, I throw my fear around
But this morning, there's a calm I can't explain
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

By the time I recognize this moment

still is the light
of your room
when you're not inside
and all of your things
tell the sweetest story line
tears on these sheets
and your footprints are down the hall
tell me what i did

I just remembered that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rode down
aisle five
you looked behind you and smiled back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us
if we could leave.

I know a girl.
She puts the color inside of my world.
She's just like a maze,
Where all of the walls all continually change.

I've done all I can
To stand on the steps with my heart in my hand,
But I'm starting to think

Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
And if you’re further up the road can you show me what I still can’t see.

Remember me, I’m the boy you used to love when we were fifteen
Remember me, I’m the boy you used to love when we were fifteen
Now I wonder what you think when you see me on the magazine.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

You roll out of bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here
Is she standing in my room?

Young and full off running
Tell me where is that taking me
Just a great figure eight
Or a tiny infinity

Love is really nothing
But a dream that keeps waking me
For all of my trying

Everyday, everyday I have the blues
Everyday, everyday I have the blues
When you see me worried woman
And it's you I hate to lose

Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Yes nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Speaking of words and trouble darling

That autumn leaves so dry and sweet
Tells me everything is not broken
No everything is not broken
If everythings not fine
If everythings not fine

That you could be,oh here with me
Tells me everything is not broken

Beautiful, I watch you try,
To see yourself through other's eyes.
But mirrors are a losing game,
They only show you backwards anyway.

The magic and the misery,
Come and go so easily.
But everything you'll ever be,

Oh it takes a fool to love you
It takes a fool to love you
It takes a fool to love you
Oh and I’m just the fool for you

I really did it to myself I guess
I saw you standing in that cocktail dress
Oh call the press and say my life is a mess

She's a good girl
Loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too

She's a good girl
Crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
Yeah

She’s a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
Shes a good girl, crazy ’bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It’s a long day living in reseda
There’s a freeway runnin’ through the yard
And I’m a bad boy ’cause I don’t even miss her

Now that we are over
As the loving kind
We'll be dreaming ways
To keep the good alive

Only when we want is not
A compromise
Ill be pouring tears

Gravity
Is working against me
And gravity
Wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know
What makes this man
With all the love

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring

Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

Lightning strikes
Inside, my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare

Think I'm gonna stay home
Have myself a homelife
Sittin' in the slow-mo
And listenin' to the daylight
I am not a nomad
I am not a rocket man
I was born a house cat
By the SLIGHT of my mother's hand

Beautiful, I watch you try
To see yourself through others' eyes
But mirrors are a losing game
They only show you backwards anyway
The magic and the misery
Come and go so easily
But everything you'll ever be
You already are to me

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls are continually changed
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher

И если мне когда-то будет тяжело
Я просто отброшу все лишнее
В ящики и в шкафы
И там останусь.

И если мне когда-то будет тяжело
Это будет так как я мечтал
И я возьму любовь что дарят мне

I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I don't know what it's like to blame you
Nothing's true
I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore

I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I'm not sure that I really ever could

Love is a verb
It ain't a thing
It's not something you own
It's not something you scream

When you show me love
I don't need your words
Yeah love ain't a thing

Staying home alone on a Friday
Flat on the floor looking back
On old love
Or lack thereof
After all the crushes are faded
And all my wishful thinking was wrong
I'm jaded
I hate it

six numbers, one more to dial
before I'm before you
I tried to call
been busy all night
gave up waiting at daylight

excuse me Mrs. Busybody
could you pencil me in when you can

my stupid mouth has got me in trouble
I said too much again
to a date over dinner yesterday
and I could see she was offended
she said well anyway
just dying for a subject change

oh, another social casualty

When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise

She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me

Do not waste this evening, baby I'm begging you
Your big imagination's playing its tricks on you
You think my up and leave is something I'm gonna do
Feel my chest when I look at you...

Baby you, you've got my only heart
Yeah, you've got my only heart
Yeah, you've got my only, only, heart

John Mayer - “Paper Doll” 2013

Paper doll come try it on,
Step out of that black chiffon.
Here’s a dress of gold and blue,
Sure was fun being good to you.

This one we made just for fall,

Had a little love
But I spread it thin
Falling in her arms at night again
I made a bad name for my game round town
Tore out my heart and shut it down

Nothing to do
Nowhere to be

Goodbye cold, goodbye rain
Goodbye sorrow, goodbye shame
I'm headed out west with my headphones on
Boarded a flight with a song in the back of my soul
That no one knows

I just found out her ghost left town
The Queen of California is a stepping down, down

Midnight
lock all the doors
and turn out the lights
Feels like the end of the world
this Sunday night

There's not a sound
Outside the snow's coming down

Well if you ever plan to motor west
Just take my way that's the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

Well it goes from St Louis, down to Missouri

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations

Say what you need to say [x8]

Walking like a one man army

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations

Say what you need to say [x8]

Walking like a one man army

Did you know that you could be wrong
And swear you're right
Some people been know to do it
All their lives

But you find yourself alone
Just like you found yourself before
Like I found myself in pieces

Ты знала, что можешь ошибаться?
И клянешься, что ты права.
Известно, что некоторые люди делают это
Всю свою жизнь.

Но ты остаешься одна
Точно так же, как ты оказывалась прежде,
Так же, как я рассыпался на куски

It's not a silly little moment,
It's not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on.

Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody's gonna come and save you,

I'm not alone
I wish I was
Cause then I'd know I was down because
I couldn't find a friend around
To love me like they do right now
They do right now

I'm dizzy from the shopping mall

Now the cover of Rolling Stone
Ain't the cover of a Rolling Stone
And the music on my radio
Ain't supposed to make me feel alone

CHORUS
Would have liked to know
Have to learn to let it go

And I don't where you went when you left me but
It says here in the water, you must be gone by now
I can tell somehow

One hand on the trigger of the telephone
Wonderin when the call comes, when you say it's all right
You got your heart right

Here comes the cold
Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You - enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue

Who knows what will be

Я по прежнему чувствую себя твоим парнем
Я по прежнему чувствую себя твоим парнем
По прежнему чувствую
По прежнему чувствую
Я по прежнему чувствую себя твоим парнем

Самая красивая девушка в комнате, она хочет меня
Я точно знаю, она сама мне сказала

No I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind but...
I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly won't someone stop this train

Sometimes, I wish that I was the weather
You'd bring me up in conversation forever
And when it rained, I'd be the talk of the day

Oh, sometimes I wish that I was a cold beer
I'd rest assured that you would hold me near
I'd be guaranteed to be just what you need

Close your eyes and calm yourself
Build your heart an army
To defend your innocence
While you do everything wrong

Don't be scared to walk alone
Don't be scared to like it
There's no time that you must be home

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around

this will all make perfect sense someday
i'll be A-ok....
this will all make perfect sense someday
there's got to be a reason for the rain

all my bills have all gotten paid
i saved the bad, i broke the bank
this could have been a slow song

Another long summer's come and gone
I don't know why it always ends this way
The boardwalk's quiet and the carnival rides
Are as empty as my broken heart tonight

But I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinnin around and you're holdin on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth

Do you ever get the feeling
That we started in the middle
Or have you ever had the sense
That we've been lying just a little?
I mean, come on
It's not like we've known ourselves that long

And I can't say I really blame you

don't know why Tori came by
but I could see by the look in her eyes
Tory'd been driving 'round the town for a while

playing with the thought of leaving

don't know why, but Tori just smiled
and mentioned something about how you were right

Some of us, we're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from being just a number?
How will I hold my head to keep from going under?

Down to the wire
I wanted water
But I walk through the fire

Well, I'm standing here, freezing, inside your golden garden
Uh got my ladder, leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall
But now you're telling me...

I think we better wait till tomorrow
Hey, yeah, hey

Waiting on the day
When my thoughts are my own
When this house is my home
And planes are leaving
Will you be there for me baby?
Will you love me all the way
When you take my side
In every little fire fight

Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could

Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means

Walt Grace
Desperately aiding his whole place
Dreamed to discover a new place
And buried himself alive

Inside his basement
Tongue on the side of his face meant
He's working away on his placement

Come out Angels
Come out Ghosts
Come out Darkness
Bring everyone you know

I'm not running
I'm not scared
I am waiting and well prepared

We pick up in New York City
Tryin' to find the man I never got to be
When I push down on the pavement
I found the whole thing so much harder than it seems

The only deal I ever signed
No devil drew a dotted line
The stage was set, the words were mine

Who says I can’t get stoned?
Turn off the lights and the telephone
Me and my house alone
Who says I can’t get stoned?

Who says I can’t be free?
From all of the things that I used to be
Re-write my history

You love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love

My girl, she ain't the one that I saw coming
And sometimes I don't know which way to go
And I tried to run before

I came by to get my things
Thank you for getting the door
But I don't feel right walking in no more

You think it's cold
I did my crying at home
And I'm numb now, I'm numb now

I am driving up 85 in the
kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
just stuck inside the gloom

Four more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
and leave it all behind

River's strong you can swim inside it
We could string some lights up hill beside it
Tonight the moon so bright you could drive with your headlights out
'Cause a little bit of summer's what the whole year's all about

You look fine, fine, fine put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that waterline get higher and higher
Say, say, say ain't it been some kind of day

No, I've not seen you this way before
Standin' a mess at my door
Well, it took you so long
But you finally found
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

You believed that all people are kind
And that you'd never mess with your mind

Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could

Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
