OneRepublic – Something’s Gotta Give

I-I-I
I’m sinking in
You know that something’s got to

Something’s gotta give
And then you told yourself
You found a modern mona lisa
You gave her all your love
You said ‘I pray this fool could keep her’
You got no money
It doesn’t mean a thing
You got time
And time is everything
Knock all night
Stay awake
Listening to
Records that you like
Now you’re saying

I-I-I
I’m sinking in
You know that something’s got to
Something’s gotta give
Ooooh

And then you showed yourself
All the colors that you fear
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It doesn’t mean a thing
You got love
So you got everything
Talk all night
Stay awake
Listening to
Records that we like

I-I-I
I’m sinking in
You know that something’s got to
Something’s gotta give

It’s gotta give
Oh whoa oh, whoa oh [x4]

Something’s gotta give
It’s gotta give
It’s gotta give
Oh whoa oh, whoa oh

OneRepublic – Light It Up

Like a stone you watch it fall
And let it roll out over the fields
You take your time and watch it crawl
Like you’re the big shot symphony
But oh what would you say if I told you ‘the pitch is wrong’ with a smile?
I took a trip to wonderland,
Gonna get you nowhere by a mile

I,
I could light it up for you
I,
I could light it up for you
We
We ain’t got a shot to lose
Put it on but fade it out
Tell you that you weren’t enough
Acting like your favourite drug
Raise a cup
We can light it up

I took a shot and missed the mark
Well every single day I multiply
A million drums of kerosene
Baby, like a hotel in the sky
I just want to see
All the sparks you’re trying to hide
Let’s take a trip to wonderland
We can just tune this fire tonight

I,
I could light it up for you
I,
I could light it up for you
We
We ain’t got a shot to lose
Put it on but fade it out
Tell you that you weren’t enough
Acting like your favourite drug
Raise a cup
We can light it up
We can light it up

OneRepublic – Preacher

When I was a kid
I used to buy and sell gravity
I knew how to fly
And I could teach you for a fee
Break every window
In my hotel heart
I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred
And I’d hear the same voice
Echo in my mind
Said ‘son you got an angel,
To chase the devil at the light’

When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He’d talk about God
Yeah he was something like a teacher
He said ‘God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves’
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth

I took a little faith
And put it in a parking lot
I drove to a strange town
Full of have and have nots
And as I walked through that storybook life
I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at the light
Oh! oh! oh!

When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He’d talk about love
Yeah he was something like a teacher
He said ‘God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves’
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth

Wave
Put your hands up and hands down
[x3]

When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He’d talk about life
Yeah he was something like a teacher
He said ‘God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves’
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth

Oh!
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth..

OneRepublic – Something I Need

I had a dream the other night
About how we only get one life
Woke me up right after two
Stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn’t lose my mind

And I had the week that came from hell
And yes I know that you can tell
But you’re like the net under the ledge
But I go flying off the edge
You go flying off as well

And if you only die once I wanna die with
You got something I need
In this world full of people there’s one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there’s one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

Last night I think I drank too much
Call it our temporary crutch
With broken words I tried to say
Honey don’t you be afraid
If we got nothing we got us (Yeah)

And if you only die once I wanna die with
You got something I need
In this world full of people there’s one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there’s one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

I know that we’re not the same
But I’m so damn glad that we made it
To this time, this time, now

You got something I need
Yeah in this world full of people there’s one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (Yeah)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there’s one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there’s one killing me
And if we only die once I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

If we only die once I wanna die with
If we only live once I wanna live with you

OneRepublic – Don’t Look Down

Hey, I can hear you talking
Say, don’t look down, don’t look down.
Hey, I can hear you preaching
Say don’t leave me fall, fall.

OneRepublic – Good Life

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don’t really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don’t know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We’re young enough to say

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, “Oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight”
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don’t know
Where I’ve been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’ t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We are God of stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

When you’re happy like a fool, let it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take it in

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh, a good, good life, yeah

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I’ll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick

Hopelessly
I’m taking a mental picture of you now
’Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, “Oh, got this feeling that you can’t fight”
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Oh yeah, good, good life, good life, oh, this is

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don’t know
Where I’ve been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

Sometimes there’s airplanes I can’ t jump out
Sometimes there’s bullshit that don’t work now
We are God of stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

OneRepublic – Life In Color

I do my best
To find some kind of glow
I’m givin’ it some heart and soul, now
From the darkest grays
The sun bursts, clouds break
Yeah, we see that fire
From the streets of Babylon
To the road that we’ve been on now
The kaleidoscope claims another

Whoa oh oh oh
Well this is life in color (color)
Today feels like no other (other)
And the darkest grays
The sun bursts, clouds break

Whoa oh oh oh
Well this is life in motion (motion)
And just when I could run this race no more
The sun bursts, clouds break
This is life in color

You’ve seen my worst
Yet you see some hope in me
The black and white sets us free
Like the queen to the rook
Your decision is a sure thing
Honey yeah, a sure thing
No wonder I feel
Like I’m missing a heavy load
But no matter what daylight brings to us
We all know

Whoa oh oh oh
Well this is life in color (color)
Today feels like no other (other)
And the darkest grays
The sun bursts, clouds break

Whoa oh oh oh
Well this is life in motion (motion)
And just when I could run this race no more
The sun bursts, clouds break
This is life in color

Ooooh ooh
Ooooh ooh
yeah

This is life in color
Today feels like no other
And the darkest grays
The sun bursts, cloud breaks

Whoa oh oh oh
Well this is life in motion (motion)
Just when I could run this race no more
The sun bursts, cloud breaks
This is life in color
This is life in color
Ooooh ooh

OneRepublic – I Lived

[Verse 1]
Hoping you take that jump
But don’t fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hoping the crowd screams out
Screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You chose to stay
Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
Is give it all you have
And I hope that you don’t suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes
You say……

[Chorus]
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did
Of every broken bone
I swear I lived

[Verse 2]
Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
I wish that I could witness
All we drawed
And your pain
But until my moment comes
I’ll say…

[Chorus]
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did
Of every broken bone
I swear I lived

[Bridge]
Woah
Woah
Woah
Oh
Oh
Of every broken bone
I swear I lived
Of every broken bone
I swear I lived

[Chorus]
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did
Of every broken bone
I swear I lived

[Outro]
Woah
Woah
Woah
Oh
Oh

OneRepublic – Can’t Stop

I guess this is what it’s supposed to feel like
No we don’t talk, no we don’t talk, we don’t talk anymore.
I guess this is what it’s supposed to sound like
The universe, the universe, universe is torn.

I don’t want to live without you
I can live without you half the day, heeeay hey
I don’t want to live without you
And put life off for another day
hey-hey yeah hey-hey yeeeah

[Chorus:]
But I can’t stop
Thinking about.. thinking about us
Anymore oooh oh
I said I can’t stop
Thinking about.. thinking about us
Anymore ooh oh
I said I can’t stop.. no
Thinking about.. thinking about this
Anymore ooh oh
And all I’ve got.. uuuh
Is nothing I want
Anymore ooh oh

No I never get used to silence
But I don’t hear, no I don’t hear
I don’t hear you anymore.
I know I had to look hard to find it
Everything, everything,
Everything is gone.

I don’t want to live without you
And put life off for another day
hey-hey yeah hey-hey yeeeah

[Repeat Chorus]

I can see stars, I can see our lives in a self destructing lane,
I can see stars, I can see lights… shining here.

[Repeat Chorus]

uuuh uuuh uuuh uuuh.

OneRepublic – Au Revoir

Today I’m not myself
And you – you’re someone else
And all these rules don’t fit
And all that starts can quit

What a peculiar state we’re in
What a peculiar state we’re in

Let’s play a game
Where all of the lives we lead
Could change
Let’s play a game
Where nothing that we can see
The same

We’ll find other pieces to the puzzles
Slippin out under the locks
I could show you how many moves to checkmate right now
We could take apart this life we’re building
And pack it up inside a box
All that really matters is we’re doing it right now
Right now

We’ll find other pieces to the puzzles
Slippin out under the locks
I could show you how many moves to checkmate right now
We could take apart this life we’re building
And pack it up inside a box
All that really matters is we’re doing it right now
Right now

OneRepublic – Burning Bridges

You and I were meant to be
Ain’t no doubt about it
No way to hide that sort of thing
Now I’m waiting for something better
Ain’t nothing better worth imagining

I, I keep on running
I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted
Look for my heart
You stole it away
Now I’ll never sing the road that I could take
Listen, I want you to burn my bridges down
I said, I want you to burn my bridges down
Set me on Fire
You set me
Set me on Fire
You can burn my bridges down

Send this out to sea
Send it where you wanted
You can take your no for no or not at all
There’s no filling up your spaces with fictionary places
Imaginary faces they don’t work at all

I, I keep on running
I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted
Look for my heart
You stole it away
Now I’ll never sing the road that I could take
Listen, I want you to burn my bridges down
I said, I want you to burn my bridges down
Set me on Fire
You set me
Set me on Fire
Girl you burnt my bridges down

I want you to burn my bridges down, down
I want you to burn my bridges down
Set me on fire
You set me
Set me on Fire
Set me on Fire
I want you to burn my bridges down
I said, I want you to burn my bridges down
Down, Down
Set me on fire
Set me on fire

One Republic – Feel Again

I wanna feel the sun, have barbecues,
i wanna see my friends, the old and new,
we’ll turn on the game,
and share some laughs, and we’ll play, this and that.
And we’ll say goodbye, to rainy days,
to colder nights, and the empty trees,
now full of life, and colors new,
and it’s all, here for you.
To see, cloudless skies, summer days,
feels just like it’s on the way,
kids are out, it’s safe to play,
and it feels just like a beautiful day.
Cloudless skies, summer days,
feels just like it’s on the way,
kids are out, it’s safe to say,
but it feels just like a beautiful day.

A beautiful day, a beautiful day.
A beautiful day, a beautiful day.
Ladadadadada, ladadada.

I wanna feel the grass,
between my toes,
I wanna hear the birds, as they come and go.
and i’d love to fly, if i had wings, and i’d bring you with me.
I wanna hit the beach, the ocean air,
and we’ll let the sand, get everywhere,
and we’ll watch the sun, as it mounts away,
And i’d smile, just to say, with you,
Cloudless skies, summer days,
feels just like it’s on the way,
kids are out, it’s safe to play, and it feels just like a beautiful day.
Cloudless skies, summer days,
feels just like it’s on the way,
kids are out it’s safe to say, but it feels just like a beautiful day.
A beautiful day, a beautiful day.
Beautiful day, beautiful day.
Ladadadadada, ladadada.
Winter’s down, music up,
feel the sun from above, cloudless skies,
summer days, feels just like it’s on the way, it’s just a beautiful day.
Cloudless skies, summer days,
feels just like it’s on the way,
kids are out, it’s safe to play, and it feels just like a beautiful day.

feels just like it’s on the way,
kids are out it’s safe to say, but it feels just like a beautiful day.
A beautiful day, a beautiful day.
Beautiful day, beautiful day. Ladadadadada, ladadada.

One Republic – Stop And Stare

This town is colder now, I think it’s sick of us
It’s time to make our move, I’m shaking off the rust
I’ve got my heart set on anywhere but here
I’m staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel…
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal… for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you’re here not there
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair
But fair ain’t what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see

They’re trying to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could…
Steady feet, don’t fail me now
Gonna run till you can’t walk
Something pulls my focus out
And I’m standing down…

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you’re here not there
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair
But fair ain’t what you really need
Oh, you don’t need

What you need, what you need…

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be
Oh, do you see what I see…
