ALEXZ JOHNSON – Walking

Can’t stay with you, but I’ll miss you
Soles on fire, I can’t see through
All the smokey, smoking higher
And I don’t know what to do

See the shadow, it stays beside me
In my dreams, it never likes me
Oh, it’s a long road that I’ve created
I’ve got it under control

So why am I walking?
And this I don’t know
Why I keep walking in circles
When I’ve got nowhere to go

Sand pulls quicker, sinks me deeper
I like the feeling, I let it linger
Where’s my education? What was I thinking? Been lying to myself all along
And I knew I was wrong, I could tell in your eyes the love is gone.
And I know I can’t fix what I have done
So I keep walking until I’m numb

And why am I walking?
And this I don’t know
Why I keep walking in circles
When I’ve got nowhere to go

But I’ll do this alone, and every tear I know is mine
And I will feel it in my bones, I’ll be okay, just let me hide
Patterns change, just like the tide

And why am I walking?
And this I don’t know
And I keep walking in circles
When I’ve got nowhere, got nowhere, to go

And why am I talking? When I have nothing to say
My head is a mess, and I’m not finding my way

But I can’t stay with you, but I’ll miss you
Soles on fire, I can’t see through
All the smokey, smoking higher
My feet won’t bring me to you

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Teach Me How To Love

Teach me how to love,
Show me where I stand
Catch me when I fall
Pick me up again
Tech me how to feel
When to take a breath
How do people heal,
When they’re scared to death

Teach me how to love,
When the sun turns to rain
How to give too much,
Without expecting back the same
Teach me how to love,
When I’ve lost my way
How to not give up
When I wanna run away
Teach me how to love

Give me room to fail
Let me make mistakes
Help me mend my heart
It always seems to break

Teach me how to love,
When the sun turns to rain
How to give too much,
Without expecting back the same
Teach me how to love,
When I’ve lost my way
How to not give up
When I wanna run away
Teach me how to love

Love…

Love is the answer they say
But it’s hard to find it

I…

I won’t get out of my own way
‘Til I fall deep inside it
Teach me how to love,
When the sun turns to rain
How to give too much,
Without expecting back the same
Teach me how to love,
When I’ve lost my way
How to not give up
When I wanna run away
Teach me how to love

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Stranger With My Face

You fall apart while you’re in the game
You aim your dart but show your pain
And we’ll never know what’s up your sleeve
How far you will go it’s in the breeze
As cold as snow we watch you freeze
You follow me home I’ll call the police
Stranger with my face
(Better save me a seat cause I’m coming back home)
Stranger with my face
(Cannot lean on me better leave me alone)
Stranger with my face
(Leave me alone, better save me a seat cause I’m coming back home)
I will not run I’m like a tree
My roots are in apart of me
Still cannot believe
You’ve got no glue
The webs that you weave only stick to you
Stranger with my face
Stranger with my face
(Cannot lean on me better leave me alone)
Stranger with my face
(Leave me alone, better save me a seat cause I’m coming back home)

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Shianne

Never made a stand now you’re burning up the land it isn’t like you
Never had to try now you’re learning how to lie it isn’t like you
Shouldn’t make them wait now they’re bustin’ down your gate just to spite you
Didn’t have to fight now you’re running ever light it isn’t like you
Can’t just walk away Shainne it isn’t like you
Out of words to say Shainne it’s all about you
You coulda’ been OK Shianne you better make due
Throwing it away Shianne this isn’t like you
Rocking as you roll leaving pieces of your soul it isn’t like you
Reading what they wrote wearing nothing in your coat it isn’t like you
Never had to win now you’re pushing them to sin what did you do?
You always had to know now you’re reaping what you sow It isn’t like you
Can’t just walk away Shainne it isn’t like you
Out of words to say Shainne it’s all about you
You coulda’ been OK Shianne you better make due
Throwing it away Shianne this isn’t like you [x2]

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Shake It Off

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]

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Read My Mind

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

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Perfect

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

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Mary

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

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Lighter Than Air

Make no mistake
I know who you are
I feel what you feel
I’m under the same sky
Under this spell
It’s making me high
Still bringing me down
Taking me over
I’m right in the way
Between all the lines
Mountains do what I say the higher I climb
I’m saving some lives
I’m using my nine
Now for once all is fair
As if you even care
It’s lighter than the air
And if you’re not prepared
It’s lighter than the air
There wasn’t a book
That taught you to run
To learn how to lie
When to cover your eyes
Nobody will win
You learn to survive
When to fall on your knees and swallow your pride
It’s always the same
The giving is free
And the music will play
But the dancing is for me
As if you even care
It’s lighter than the air
And if you’re not prepared
It’s lighter than the air
I’m on the way to where you are
I’m on the way to where you are
[Chorus]

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Inconveniences

It’s just another test on me I’m waiting to endure
It’s pulling out my heart and throwing it against the door
It’s just another thing for me to break to get to you
I’ll try and catch my breath whenever I’m away from you
Why is it when I need to bend they’re never there for me
The only time I get his time is when he’s in my dreams
These inconveniences are leaving me with bitter taste
It’s time to stop the clock this time I need some time to waste
I don’t mind working on the side bare feet
Take me to my baby
Leave me here keep me weighing down these streets
Take me to my baby
I don’t mind, oh tell me where to go
Cause people always tell me that I move too slow
Take me baby, take me home
I’m getting up again, I push myself, I do it smooth
It takes a little faith to get me back into the groove
Why do we run away from love we should do this the least
When people all over the world are bombing it for peace
It’s another thing for me to try to understand
Why certain fingers fit the gloves of other people’s hands
We hold the weight of all the world it’s underneath our feet
You take me on I’ll take you on I’ll be your concrete
I don’t mind working on the side bare feet
Take me to my baby
Leave me here keep me weighing down these streets
Take me to my baby
I don’t mind, oh tell me where to go
Cause people always tell me that I move too slow
Take me baby, take me home
Out of my mind losing it all
My baby’s behind I’m hearing his call
Nothing will stop me you can’t build a wall
Take me home
[Chorus x1]

ALEXZ JOHNSON – I Just Wanted Your Love

You got time
If time is what you needed
You’re not mine
I rather not believe you’re fine
Rather think you’re up all night
You’re alright
You knew me when you met me
Let’s not fight
I’m just a little feisty
Maybe, maybe I would lose my mind

I don’t wanna
Let you go away
I don’t wanna
Let you go

Boy, I just wanted your love
I just need a bit of your love
I just wanted your love

I don’t wanna
Let you go

You got steam
Wheels are turning
It’s just me
I’m crashing and I’m burning out
Shouldn’t we be making out?
You got guts
Guts is what I need now
I don’t mind
Starting to believe it’s over
Tell her “I loathe her”

I don’t wanna
Let you go away

Boy, i just wanted your love
I just need a bit of your love
I just wanted your love

I don’t wanna
Let you go

Ha!

Letting you go
Letting you go
Letting you go
Letting you go
Letting you go
Letting you go
Yea yea oh

I don’t wanna
Let you go away

I don’t wanna
Let you go

I just wanted your love
Bit of your love
I just wanted your love

I don’t wanna
Let you go

ALEXZ JOHNSON – I Can’t Hold Back

On the move, these old steel tracks
Gonna make an escape and I’m never gonna come back
My heart can’t take another heartache
I wouldn’t swear on my grandmas grave I couldn’t do that

I know that I’m talking way too much
‘Cause baby I’m helpless in your touch

When my heart is skips and my soul gets lit
And my stomach turns like a fighters fist
I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t
I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t
It’s killing killing all the things I could say
But my tongue gets tied when you’re in the way
And I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t
I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t

What’s there to do?
You’re breaking through
And like all good things God forbid I take a chance on you
I told myself a thousand times
Make him look you in the eye so you know you shouldn’t waste your time

Forgive me I’m nervous it’s all so new
I shouldn’t let you close but I know it’s what you’re here to do

When my heart is skips and my soul gets lit
And my stomach turns like a fighters fist
I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t
I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t
It’s killing killing all the things I could say
But my tongue gets tied when you’re in the way
And I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t
I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t

Before it all falls down upon you
You give in ’cause you know you have to

When my heart is skips and my soul gets lit
And my stomach turns like a fighters fist
I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t
I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t
It’s killing killing all the things I could say
But my tongue gets tied when you’re in the way
And I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t
I can’t hold back, forgive me I can’t

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Gypsy Queen

Leaving home
Overdue
Heading out into the sea
Suddenly all the birds follow you
You can see exactly where you’re meant to be
Gypsy queen don’t look at me
Bridges burn
In a line waiting for your waited turn
A dozen times
Can’t pretend you’re here to learn
You’ll be fine
Making your way our divine
Gypsy queen
No what you mean
Over stilts
On the ground
Flipping up gentlemen’s kilts
Often found between the bar and under quilts
Falling down
But never falling where you’re found
Gypsy queen you never bleed
Dance with me tell me a story gypsy queen
Dance with me tell me a story gypsy queen
Rubbing off
Never lost
City knows when you get off at a stop
Hitching rides to trailer parks
Never lost
Sleeping on a bed of rocks
Never knocks, the girl’s a fox
Not a mark
But inside gypsy finds a place to hide
Through the park
Not afraid when it gets dark
Then she waits memorizing license plates
Never late, there to make you wait
Dance with me tell me a story gypsy queen
Dance with me tell me a story gypsy queen x4
Leaving home
Overdue
Heading out into the sea
Suddenly all the birds follow you
You can see exactly where you’re meant to be
Gypsy don’t look at me

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Hunger Pains

Wanted something but I had to give
Drop a dime every time, what I need to live
Never felt so out of control
Following rainbows God knows it’s taking it’s toll
Breathing life into my veins
Nevertheless makes a mess inside my brain
Never thought I’d feel deranged
Worth the fuss cause it’s taming my hunger pains

Now who are you ever gonna call when you loose it all
You hunger, hunger pains
Hunger
Hunger pains

A cliche’ that feels so right
When you love want feel you put up a fight
Make a mess out of something good so you know next time
Never do what you would
Feeling like you’ve found the sky
Nevertheless emptiness is dancing inside
Found a window to see through
Worth the wait just in time cause’ I’m hungry for you

Now who are you ever gonna call when you loose it all
You hunger, hunger pains
Hunger
Now how are you ever gonna hide the feeling inside
You wonder
Hunger pains
(Hunger pains)

Why-y-y
Why-y-y
Why-y-y

And then you wonder have I been away
Ya you wonder why do I feel out of my place
You feel down
You need another round

Another moonlight and you’re there all alone
A little voice telling you something has been wrong you need a friend
The hunger’s settling in

Now who are you ever gonna call when you loose it all
You hunger, hunger pains
Hunger
Now how are you ever gonna hide the feeling inside
You wonder
Hunger pains

Why-y-y-y
Why-y-y-y

Breathing life into my veins
Nevertheless makes a mess inside my brain
Never thought I’d feel deranged
Worth the fuss cause it’s taming my hunger pains

Why-y-y-y
Why-y-y-y

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Dirty Water

This broke the news today
It’s been said a thousand ways
let’s fix the mess we’ve made
It’s just begun
The sky falls a million times
We hear bells but we can’t find
A safe day to walk in blind
It’s just begun
Turn out the lights and sleep tight tonight
But I want to feel
To take it all away
I want to feel
The way they felt that day
In dirty water
The kids will learn to play beneath the sun without someone
These wishes wash to shore
These goods aren’t good no more
You’re where you’ve never been before
It’s just begun
It’s still a sunny afternoon
The sky looks so perfect blue
But this heart couldn’t beat any faster
Turn out the lights and sleep tight tonight
But I want to feel
To take it all away
I want to feel
The way they felt that day
In dirty water
The kids will learn to play beneath the sun without someone
Without someone

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Give Me Fire

Champagne
I’m breaking every single chain
Insane
I’m watching all my colors change

I wait for your call
I can feel it in my bra
You’re burning down my walls
Not scared to lose it all
When I kiss your lips,
We’re touching fingertips
My stomach starts to flip
I’m ignited, this is it

Give me fire, give me fire
Coming out, it’s coming out
Give me fire, give me fire
Coming out, it’s coming out

Too late, to even try to walk away
Goodness sake
I walk the line
Won’t hesitate

And I hope I’ve got
My panties in a knot
Yeah I’m into what you’ve got
I can’t fight it, it’s too hot
When it gets too much
I’m melting in your touch
I’ll be welcoming the rush
Can’t deny it this is love

Give me fire, give me fire
Coming out, it’s coming out
Give me fire, give me fire
Coming out, it’s coming out

Just like Johnny and June
They wrote their name on the moon
Not a moment too soon but yet they step out in bloom
Just like Johnny and June
They wrote their name on the moon
Not a moment too soon but yet they step out in bloom
Just like Johnny and June
They wrote their name on the moon
Not a moment too soon but yet they step out in bloom

Give me fire, give me fire
Coming out, it’s coming out
Give me fire, give me fire
Coming out, it’s coming out

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Crawl

Before, you’ve been there before
You’ve opened the door
Oh, you feel like the hurricane’s gone, but it’s just begun
(Where’d you go?)
You left me holding, I’m not even coping
(Where’d you go, where’d you go?)
Just while I’m hoping, my walls are closing
(Where’d you go? Where’d you go?)

Do you ever wonder why
You need someone to call, when you’re lying on that cold floor
Losing it all
Could you ever just agree
To how you treated me
I’m worth more than that cold floor where you wanted me to be.
And with it all
You begin to crawl

Before there was a before
You once gave me more (where’d you go?)
Oh, I’m slowly changing and re-arranging
(Where’d you go, where’d you go?)
(Where’d you go, where’d you go?)
My life’s just starting, that’s when we parted, yeah

Do you ever wonder why
You need someone to call, when you’re lying on that cold floor
Losing it all
Could you ever just agree
To how you treated me
I’m worth more than that cold floor where you wanted me to be.
And with it all
You begin to crawl

Yeah…

(Where’d you go?)
Do you ever wonder why
You need someone to call, when you’re lying on that cold floor
Losing it all
Could you ever just agree
To how you treated me
I’m worth more than that cold floor where you wanted me to be.
And with it all, yeah

(You begin to crawl)
Baby, you’ll make it
Just understand you’re finding your way
Baby, just take it
And maybe you’ll be alive some day

You begin to crawl
You begin to crawl
You begin to crawl
You begin to crawl

ALEXZ JOHNSON – Chicago

Give ‘em up let ‘em go,
And follow let them follow
Take a breathe steal away, let them play these games play these games
Can’t cry, won’t fight, not tonight
Not turning off these lights
Can ‘t shout can’t scream think of me
But I can’t let that be

Holding on let him go, why do we do this we don’t know
Stepping out standing up what belongs still hanging longer
Slipped away off my feet
Can’t believe how I’ve been floating lately
This is a new avenue
Know what to do
Just gotta let it take me

On a plane I’m leaving for Chicago
Any place I go you can’t run
Leaving town won’t be found here tomorrow
Telling stories mine has just begun
Take over
Leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over
Tying up my laces
But the damage is done

Run away the new rave
It’d loosen now it’s loosing me
Caught between being me oh tragedy tragedy
Running high cloud 9
Won’t let me through there gates no more
Found a place to escape, unlock the door
Leaving another girls soul
Oh you’ll be fine, about time
Need someone to hold back my hands
Let me loose, let me fall, they’ll understand understand
Heard them one maybe twice they’ll find you in a ditch somewhere
Spreading wings these little things are
Keeping you out the front gate

On a plane I’m leaving for Chicago
Any place I go you can’t run
Leaving town won’t be found here tomorrow
Telling stories mine has just begun
Take over
Leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over
Tying up my laces
But the damage is done

Shutting you out
Shutting you out (The damage is done)
Shutting you out
Shutting you out (I’m shutting you out)

I’m gonna leave behind
One step at a time
I’m gonna do it cause I said so
I’m gonna make it cause I said so
Hey yeah yeah shutting you out
Hey yeah
Yeah I’m shutting you out
I’m shutting you out
I’m shutting you out
I’m gonna shut you out

On a plane I’m leaving for Chicago
Any place I go you can’t run
Leaving town won’t be found here tomorrow
Telling stories mine has just begun
Take over
Leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over
Tying up my laces
But the damage is done

The damage is done
Damage is done

ALEXZ JOHNSON – As Usual

First there was a road, was a brick road painted yellow looks the same but not as new
Skipping over chalk when we walk to find a way to keep themselves away from you
All the girls and the boys find a way here to play but the games all turn out to be tragedies
Looking for directions, keeping my intentions, knowing you’re ok but not with me

Driving in your car going far feeling wind in my hair it’s a mess but you just don’t care
Testing for a vibe when you try to create some magic in this stale air
Meetings, feelings, greeting, every person who has felt that way
Searching for your place, for a name, in the waste of the city, lighting up this place

Ya ya ya ya ya
Everything’s as usual
I’m where I’ve never been
I’m where I’ve never been

Then there was a babe, was a tall babe smoking on a fag in his mother’s living room
Hoping that she’d catch him, steal it and detach him, he wanted to be seen through his faces mood
Sheri’s got a Caity, she was just a baby shouting out to the world “look what I can do!”
Looking for reactions, getting satisfaction, kids in the hall are in broken shoes

We’re fine, we’re fine, not blind who’s got the cash spend it fast before they do
Put your dirty deeds in the back seat, making sure you look sweet, never let them see through you
Feeling kind of easy, moving when they need me, talking to my feelings, thoughts and dealing
Looking in the past, I react moving fast lighting spit fire’s in the streets for you

Ya ya ya ya ya
Everything’s as usual
I’m where I’ve never been
I’m where I’ve never been

I never wanted to be
I never wanted to change
Now can you take it all away
I’m not far from paranoid

Driving in your car going far feeling wind in my hair it’s a mess but you just don’t care
Testing for a vibe when you try to create some magic in this stale air
Meetings, feelings, greeting, every person who has felt that way
Searching for your place, for a name, in the waste of the city, lighting up this place

ALEXZ JOHNSON – All in Disguise

Safety off he’s moving with the times
While he’s waiting in a super market line
“Follow me” he’d say “I believe, I believe I know the way”
Look deeper deep into my eyes
Look I’m in my own little paradise
“Sleeping well” he’d say “I’m sleeping any trouble away”
He’s only sleeping when there’s time
Demons resting in his mind they’re strong
Come in, come into the parade
Come in, come into the parade
Follow follow in the parade
Noise will stop him keeping him awake he’s wrong
Come in, come into the parade
Come in, come into the parade
My my
He’s in disguise
He’s in disguise
She looks nice she’s giving it a rest
He said he loves her when she likes herself less
“I’m safe when I’m awake, it’s darker today outside is where I’ll stay”
A longer dress she’s hurting this time
She doesn’t move until she stays behind
And look backing she’d say “I wish I didn’t join a parade”
She’s only into healing pain
Waves will carry out her name
She knows
Come in, come into the parade
Come in, come into the parade
On her hands her hands are cold
Keeping her from things of gold she wrote
Come in, come into the parade
Come in, come into the parade
My my
She’s in disguise
She’s in disguise
My my
All in disguise
All in disguise
Come in, come into the parade
Come in, come into the parade
