Innocent Lyrics


I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your warpath
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind tryin' to get it back

Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?
And everybody believed in you?

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent

There's some things you can't speak of
But tonight you'll live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you would sing what you know now then

Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days?
And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep?
Before the monsters caught up to you?

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent

It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent

Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too

Lives change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never to late to
Be brand new

It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights are still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent

It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent

Lost your balance on a tight rope,
It's never too late to get it back.

Better Than Revenge Lyrics


Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did

This story starts when it was hot, and it was summer and
I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say sabotage
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
I am the ??, just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from

She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress
She's better known for the things she does 
On the mattress 
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't make 'em any friends
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
There is nothing I do bettter than revenge

She lives her life it's her party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And she thinks I'm a psycho cuz I liked ?? her name with things
But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Oh well they didn't teach you in prep school so it's upto me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress
She's better known for the things she does 
On the mattress 
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't make 'em any friends
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
There is nothing I do bettter than revenge

I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but haven't you heard?
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but I always get the last word

She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress
She's better known for the things she does 
On the mattress 
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't make 'em any friends
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
There is nothing I do bettter than revenge

Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
Cuz I don't think you do
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Let's hear the appluase
Come on show me how much better you are
So you deserve some awards
Cuz you're so much better
She took him faster than you could say sabotage.

Enchanted Lyrics


There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifiting eyes and vancancy vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered "have we met?"
Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up
2am, who do you love?
I wonder till I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say,
It was enchanted to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

This is me praying that this was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Never Grow Up Lyrics


You little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quite in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cuz you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny. You got nothing to regret.

You little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quite in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cuz you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny. You got nothing to regret.
I'd give all I had honey, if you could stay like that.

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up 
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little 
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up 
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple 
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart 
And no one will desert you 
Just try to never grow up, never grow up 

You're in the car on the way to the movies 
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off 
At 14 there's just so much you can't do 
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots 
But don't make her drop you off around the block 
Remember that she's getting older too 
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school 

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up 
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little 
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up 
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple 
No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred 
And even though you want to, just try to never grow up 

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room 
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home 
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said 
And all your little brother's favorite songs 
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone 

So here I am in my new apartment 
In a big city, they just dropped me off 
It's so much colder that I thought it would be 
So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on 

Wish I'd never grown up 
I wish I'd never grown up 

Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up 
I could still be little 
Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up 
It could still be simple 
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up 
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little 
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up 
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple 
Won't let nobody hurt you 
Won't let no one break your heart 
And even though you want to, please try to never grow up 
Oh, don't you ever grow up 
Oh, never grow up, just never grow up

The Story of Us Lyrics


I used to think one day we'll tell a story of us
How we met and sparks flew instantly
People would say, "They're the lucky ones"
I used to know my place, was the spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
Cuz lately I don't even know what page you're on
Oh! A simple complication, miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls that I can't break through

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me yeah
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us is a lot like a tragedy now

Next chapter
How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was loosing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should've held me
Oh! I'm scared to see the ending, why are we pretending this is nothing
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how 
I've never head silence quiet this loud

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me yeah
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us is a lot like a tragedy now

This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
The battles in your hands now
But I would lay my armour down
If you say you'd rather love them fight
So many things you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me yeah
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us is a lot like a tragedy now

And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me yeah
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate
Cuz we're going down
And the story of us is a lot like a tragedy now
The end

Mean Lyrics


You, with your words like knives 
And swords and weapons that you use against me 
You, have knocked me off my feet again 
Got me feeling like a nothing 

You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board 
Calling me out when I'm wounded 
You, picking on the weaker man 
You can't take me down with just one blow 

But you don't know 
What you don't know 

Someday I'll be living in a big old city 
And all you're ever gonna be is mean 
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
And all you're ever gonna be is mean 
Why you gotta be so mean? 

You, with your switching sides 
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation 
You, have pointed out my flaws again 
As if I don't already see them 

I walk with my head down 
Trying to block you out 
'Cause I never impress you 
I just want to feel okay again 

I bet you got pushed around 
Somebody made you cold 
But the cycle ends right now 
'Cause you can't lead me down that road 

But you don't know 
What you don't know 

Someday I'll be living in a big old city 
And all you're ever gonna be is mean 
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
And all you're ever gonna be is mean 
Why you gotta be so mean? 

And I can see you years from now in a bar 
Talking over a football game 
With that same big loud opinion 
But nobody's listening 

Washed up and ranting 
About the same old bitter things 
Drunken, grumbling on about 
How I can't sing 

But all you are is mean 
All you are is mean 
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life 
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean 

But someday I'll be living in a big old city 
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah... 
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
And all you're ever gonna be is mean 
Why you gotta be so mean? 

Someday I'll be living in a big old city 
And all you're ever gonna be is mean 
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
And all you're ever gonna be is mean 
Why you gotta be so mean?

Dear John Lyrics


Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you 
Counting my footsteps, 
Praying the floor won't fall through, again 
My mother accused me of losing my mind, 
But I swore I was fine 
You paint me a blue sky 
And go back and turn it to rain 
And I lived in your chess game, 
But you changed the rules every day 
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone 
tonight 
Well I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why 

Dear John, 
I see it all now that you're gone 
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? 
The girl in the dress, 
Cried the whole way home. 
I should've known 

Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame 
Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away 
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand 
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said "run as fast as 

you can" 

Dear John, 
I see it all now that you're gone 
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? 
The girl in the dress, 
Cried the whole way home

Dear John, 
I see it all, now it was wrong 
Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, 

When I loved you so? 
I should've known 

You are an expert at sorry, 
And keeping lines blurry 
Never impressed by me acing your tests 
All the girls that you run dry 
With tired, lifeless eyes 
Cause you burned them out 
But I took your matches before fire could catch me, 
so don't look now: 
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town 

Dear John, 
I see it all now that you're gone 
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? 
The girl in the dress, 
Cried the whole way home. 
I see it all now that you're gone 

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? 
The girl in the dress wrote you a song 
You should've known 
You should've known 
Don't you think I was too young? 
You should've known

Speak Now Lyrics


I am not the kind of girl 
Who should be rudely barging in 
On a white veil occasion 
But you are not the kind of boy 
Who should be marrying the wrong girl 
I sneak in and see your friends 
And her snotty little family, all dressed in pastel 
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid 
Somewhere back inside a room 
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry 
This is surely not what you thought it would be 
I loose myself in a daydream 
Where I stand and say 

Don't say yes, run away now 
I'll meet you when you're out 
Of the church at the back door 
Don't wait or say a single vow 
You need to hear me out 
And the said "speak now" 

Fun gestures are exchanged 
And the organs starts to play 
A song that sounds like a death march 
And I am hiding in the curtains 
It seems I was uninvited 
By your lovely bride-to-be 
She floats down the isle 
Like a pageant queen 
But I know you wish it was me 
You wish it was me, don't you? 

Don't say yes, run away now 
I'll meet you when you're out 
Of the church at the back door 
Don't wait or say a single vow 
You need to hear me out 
And the said "speak now" 

Don't say yes, run away now 
I'll meet you when you're out 
Of the church at the back door 
Don't wait or say a single vow 
You need to hear me out 
And the said, "speak now" 

I hear the preacher say 
Speak now or forever hold your peace 
There's a silence, there's my last chance 
I stand up with shaking hands 
All eyes on me 
Horrified looks from 
Everyone in the room 
But I'm only looking at you 

I am not the kind of girl 
Who should be rudely barging in 
On a white veil occasion 
But you are not the kind of boy 
Who should be marrying the wrong girl 

So don't say yes, run away now 
I'll meet you when you're out 
Of the church at the back door 
Don't wait or say a single vow 
You need to hear me out 
And the said, "speak now" 

And you say 
Let's run away now 
I'll meet you when 
I'm out of my tux at the back door 
Baby, I didn't say my vows 
So glad you were around when they said 
"Speak now"

Back to December Lyrics Video

Back to December Lyrics


I'm so glad you made time to see me.
How's life, tell me how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good, busier then ever.
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why.

Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind.
You gave me roses and I left them there to die.

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night,
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.

These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving,
When your birthday passed and I didn't call.
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized that I loved you in the fall.
Then the cold came, the dark days 
when fear crept into my mind.
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye.

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night,
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind.
I go back to December all the time.

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right,
And how you held me in your arms that September night,
The first time you ever saw me cry.
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right.

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand.

But this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night,
And I go back to December.
It turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright.
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind.
I go back to December all the time.

All the time

Sparks Fly Lyrics


The way you move is like a full on rainstorm 
And I'm a house of cards 
You're the kinda reckless ?? should've sent me running
But I kinda know I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me just 
Close enough to touch 
Close enough to hope you couldn't see 
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now 
Meet me in the pouring rain 
Kiss me on the sidewalk 
Take away the pain 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 
Get me with those green eyes, baby 
As the lights go down 
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea 
You touch me once and it's really something
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be
I'm on my gaurd for the rest of the world 
But with you I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but 
I really wish you would

Drop everything now 
Meet me in the pouring rain 
Kiss me on the sidewalk 
Take away the pain 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 
Get me with those green eyes, baby 
As the lights go down 
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

I run my fingers through your hair 
And watch the lights go wild
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me 
It's just strong enough to make it feel right
And lead me up the staircase 
Won't you whisper soft and slow 
I'm captivated by you baby
Like a firework show

Drop everything now 
Meet me in the pouring rain 
Kiss me on the sidewalk 
Take away the pain 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile 
Get me with those green eyes, baby 
As the lights go down 
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around 
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

Mine Lyrics Video

Mine Lyrics


You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small town never looked back
I was a flight risk with the fear of falling
Wondering why we bothered with love if it never lasts

I say "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see it
Yes yes I can see it now

Do you remember we were sitting there about the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm bothered
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes.

But we've got bills to pay
We've got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take yes yes
This was what I thought about

Do you remember we were sitting there about the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

And I remember that fight 2:30 am
Cause everything was slipping right out of my hands
And I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street

Raised myself for the goodbye
Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said 'I'll never leave you alone

You said
"I remember how we felt sitting about the water
And every time I look at you its like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"

Make it last
Never turn back

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you believe it ?
We're gonna make it now.
And I can see it
And I can see it now, see it now, see it now
