Dido – White Flag

I know you think that I shouldn’t still love you,
or tell you that.
But if I didn’t say it, well I’d still have felt it
where’s the sense in that?

I promise I’m not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I cause nothing but trouble
I understand if you can’t talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of “it’s over”
then I’m sure that that makes sense but

I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m in love and always will be

And when we meet
Which I’m sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I’ll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I’ve moved on….

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I’m in love and always will be

Dido – Thank You

My tea’s gone cold
I’m wondrin why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can’t see at all
And even if I could it’d all be gray
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it’s not so bad
It’s not so bad

I drank too much last night
Got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there’ll be hell today
I’m late for work again
And even if I’m THERE they’ll all imply
That I might not last the day
And then you called me
And it’s not so bad
It’s not so bad

And I….want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oohh, just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life

Push the door I’m home at last
And I’m soaking through and through
And then you handed me a towel
And all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn’t have a clue
Because you’re near me

And I….want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Oooh, just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life

I…want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
Ooohh, just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life

Dido – No Freedom

Even when you don’t see me
Even when you don’t hear
I’ll be flying low below the sun
And it fill it all out here
Even when our time has come
Even when you think I’m gone
I’ll be back with stories from another world
Before you know
There’s no freedom without love
There’s no love without freedom

Dido – No Freedom

Dido – Lost

However long I’m under makes no difference
However long I’m down there’ll be air for me
All I’ve had that’s lost, that’s gone it falls away
And I’ll come up in my time, there’ll be no fear for me
I walk down this easy path where shadows fall behind
And rest beneath the trees and wait for me

Lost’s where I belong, lost’s where I’ve gone
Lost is my new home, lost’s where I belong

Usually darkness gets to me, this place is mine
No idea what led me to more peace than home
Dressed in blue she takes me through, no doubt for me
To follow right behind the sun is blind and I can’t see

Lost’s where I belong, lost’s where I’ve gone
Lost is my new home, lost’s where I belong
Lost’s where I belong, lost where I’ve gone
Lost is my new home, lost’s where I belong

I can walk, with no end, nothing hurts, nothing’s pain
Nothing’s missed, no one’s gone, moved away, nothing’s wrong.

Lost where I belong, lost where I’ve gone
Lost is where I belong

Dido – Life For Rent

I haven’t ever really
found a place that I called
home
I never stick around
quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again
I’m not in love
but it’s not as if
I mind that your heart
ain’t exactally breaking
It’s just a thought
only a thought

But if my life is for rent
and I don’t
learn to buy
well I deserve nothing more
than I get
Cos nothing I have
is truly mine

I always thought that I
would love to live by the sea
to travel the world alone
and live more simply
I have no idea what’s happened
to that dream
cos there’s really nothing
left here
to stop me

It’s just a thought
only a thought

But if my life is for rent
and I don’t
learn to buy
well I deserve nothing more
than I get
Cos nothing I have
is truly mine

if my life is for rent
And I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more
than I get
cos nothin’I have is
truly mine

while my heart is a shield
and I won’t let it down
While I am so afraid to fail
so I won’t even try
well how can I say I’m alive

But if my life is for rent
and I don’t
learn to buy
well I deserve nothing more
than I get
Cos nothing I have
is truly mine

But if my life is for rent
and I don’t
learn to buy
well I deserve nothing more
than I get
Cos nothing I have
is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine

Dido – Let’s Run Away

And before I start the day
I have a glimpse of how I used to feel
When we drove all night and laughed all day
Thinking nothing can go wrong
And now our hands are full and walking in the dark
I don’t know what’s below or what’s above

But it doesn’t matter now
Don’t look back
Don’t look back

Let’s runaway
Then tomorrow won’t be the same
Let’s go away
Then today won’t feel the same

Don’t look up and don’t look left or right
Trust me now and we’ll be fine
I’ll take your fear and send it out to sea
And you’ll forget every little thing you’ve seen

And it doesn’t matter now
Don’t look back

Let’s runaway
Then tomorrow won’t be the same
Let’s go away
Then today won’t feel the same

Let’s runaway
Then tomorrow won’t be the same
Let’s go away
Then today won’t feel the same

Let’s runaway
Then tomorrow won’t feel the same
Won’t feel the same

Dido – Just Say Yes

If by chance, I saw you at first
First time there, there on the dance floor
I would put, my coat back down
I’d head for the door and I’d ask your name
Just because, you’ve been there before
And been burnt, don’t walk away

Well just say yes, why say no,
When you can say yes and just come home?
Just come here, don’t step away
Don’t stop there, when you can be here
Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same
But it’s OK

Even if, you think you should walk
Before you can run and falling is wrong
Even if, if you believe
Fate conspires against you again

Well just say yes, why say no,
You can say yes and just come home
Just come here, why step away?
Don’t stop there, when you can be here
Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same
But it’s OK

You should clear a space in your head
Kick out the lame, the lost and the dead
And who will know you and you
Are just bones and who,
Will care how beautiful you are

Well just say yes, why say no,
You can say yes and just come home
Just come here, why step away?
Don’t stop there, when you can be here
Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same
But it’s OK
Nothing is familiar, nothing stays the same
But it’s OK

Dido – I’m No Angel

If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbye
Well I’d be rich beyond my dreams, I’m sorry for my weary life
I know I’m not perfect but I can smile
and I hope that you see this heart behind my tired eyes
If you tell me that I can’t, I will, I will, I’ll try all night
and if I say I’m coming home, I’ll probably be out all night
I know I can be afraid but I’m alive
and I hope that you trust this heart behind my tired eyes

’cause I’m no angel, but please don’t think that I won’t try and try
I’m no angel, but does that mean that I can’t live my life?
I’m no angel, but please don’t think that I can’t cry
I’m no angel, but does that mean that I won’t fly?

I know I’m not around each night
and I know I always think I’m right
And I can believe that you might look around

’cause I’m no angel, but please don’t think that I won’t try and try
I’m no angel, but does that mean that I can’t live my life?
I’m no angel, but please don’t think that I can’t cry
I’m no angel, but does that mean that I won’t fly?

Dido – Hunter

I want to be a hunter again
I want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go

Dido – Here With Me

I didn’t hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don’t want to move a thing
It might change my memory

[Chorus:]
Oh I am what I am
I’ll do what I want
But I can’t hide
I won’t go
I won’t sleep
I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me
I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
Until you’re resting here with me

I don’t want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I can’t leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that’s been

[Chorus]

Dido – Christmas Day

The young gentleman came riding past
on a snow-blue winter’s day
He asked to drink by our fire and
I was pleased to let him stay
He drank there quietly for a while
and then he turned and said to me

Your eyes are green
Like summer grass
Your lips are red
like a fresh-cut rose
Your hair is soft
like an Irish stream
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty

And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

And the night will come but I won’t sleep
as I watch the stars that lead him
I cannot place where he is
but still my heart goes with him
I’m saving all my Sunday clothes for the day
that I’ll be leaving
Father knows
My sister knows

And my friends
They’re happy for me
And the priest he says
you should thank God
for the blessing of such beauty

And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

On Christmas Day
I shall return for you
My love…

And the last words I heard him say
Were the last words I ever heard him say

I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I said I will return on Christmas Day
And yes, I shall return on Christmas day
I shall return, for you, on Christmas Day
My love
I will return on Christmas Day
I shall return ,my love, on Christmas Day
On Christmas Day
