Not Givin' Up

Rubbing salt in my wounds
Like it don't hurt, like it don't hurt me
Your sweet bitter love songs
That seduce me with a sinister beat

I'm bringing out the worst in you
It was never my intention to
That was just unfair to do
Salt in my wounds
Getting burned up
With the negative heat

How can I stay mad with you?
When I'm so in love with you

I don't know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some how
You and me we got common ground
I'm not giving up, no

Are you looking for a way out?
Are you looking for an exit?
It seems like all the fuss you're making
Is a sign that you're not quite sure

Well, I don't recommend you to
Coz what we got's to good to lose
And I can tell you know that too
Or is it just aggravation
You're picking on me
You're rubbing salt in my wounds

How can I stay mad with you?
When I'm so in love with you

I don't know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some work
You and me we got common ground
I'm not giving up, no

I don't know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some work
You and me we got common ground
I'm not giving up, no

Maybe just a kind word now and then
Could turn it around and make us a happy end
But if this is it and the moment is gone
Well then I guess I must have just got it wrong

Wise as it sounds it just doesn't make sense
And as long as it takes I'm gonna keep on trying
Coz I'm not giving up on us
I'm not giving up, no

How can I stay mad with you?
I'm not giving up, no
When I'm so in love with you

I don't know what we argue about
When all we do is scream and shout
I still believe in our love right now
And its gonna work out some work
You and me we got common ground
I'm not giving up, no

No way, no way
I'm not giving up, no
No way, no way
I'm not giving up, no

Still Here

You looked at me and saw what I never could see
You made me feel more than I thought I could ever be
And when I needed a friend you were always there to lift me up
To make me strong
You're not gone

You're still here
With me all the time
You're still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here
Still here in my heart
In my heart

Because of you I knew how it felt to be loved
You made me feel beautiful 'cause you believed I was
And I will never forget how you touched my life
You made me feel like I belong
You live on

You're still here
With me all the time
You're still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here
Still here in my heart
In my heart

All my life
You'll be in my life
You'll be part of me
I'll just think of you and you'll still be
You'll still be here

Still here
You're with me all the time
You'll still be here
Still here
When I close my eyes
I still see you
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here in my heart

You're still...
I still feel you
And we'll never be apart
You're still here in my heart
In my heart
In my heart
In my heart
Still here

Smell The Roses

I've been livin in a room without windows
Away from the sun, no oxygen
I couldn't tell if it was day or night
Away from the sun, growing nowhere fast
Rushing along on the pavement
Don't even look at the people's faces, going places

When an old man said stop
You nearly stepped on a flower
Growing through the cracks
And you didn't even notice

[Chorus:]
Wake up smell the roses
Life is happening and you don't know it
Wake up, take a moment
Grab it in your hands... and own it

I realise our love is like that flower
Been neglecting the thing most precious to me
You've been talking but I haven't been listening
The static in the noise been drowning you out
I so wanna be in the future
That I keep tripping

Over my own shoe laces
In these human races
And i'm brought back to now
And the volume goes down
There's peace in his words as loud as a shout sayin'

[Chorus]

He says

[Chorus]

Like your birthday I forgot
I was with you
But I was not... really there
Snap your fingers, that's your life
Not gonna let it pass my by no
When an old man said stop
You nearly stepped on a flower
Growing
Through the cracks
And you didn't even notice

[Chorus]

Lay Down

Speechless, but the answers in my mouth
Breathless, the emotions seeping out
Beyond my control
You spoke to my silence, and asked
Why so cold?

You ask for peace, I give you war
While you let go, I hold too tightly
I take my aim, you hit the floor,
I'm not ready to,
Lay down my arms

Cracking, my defences breaking down
The unravelling, of a rope I put around me
You wont take no for an answer

[Chorus]

I didn't know I was missing out, 'til you lost and I, I won
You made me realise my incompleteness alone
Can no longer live by candlelight
When you show me the sun

[Chorus]

If You're Gonna Jump

I got a short attention span
Can't sit around couch potato land
I wanna do all kinds of stuff
Talking about it's not enough
I wanna go to the extreme
I wanna stretch my limousine
I wanna take it way off road
Go where I'm not supposed to go

Life is music, play it louder

If you're gonna jump, then jump far, fly like a sky diver
If you're gonna be a singer, then u better be a rockstar
If you're gonna be a driver, then u better drive a race car
'Cause I'm looking for a guard dog, not buying a chihuahua

I like my food with chili in
I like to laugh 'til it turns in
I wanna stare fear in the face
I wanna take it all the way

Life is music play it louder

If you're gonna jump, then jump far, fly like a sky diver
If you're gonna be a singer, then u better be a rockstar
If you're gonna be a driver, then u better drive a race car
'Cause I'm looking for a guard dog, not buying a chihuahua

If you're gonna jump, then jump far,
If you're gonna
If you're gonna hit the high notes, you gotta be a diva
If you're gonna play a guitar, you gotta play 'til you blister
'Cause I'm looking for a guard dog not buying a chihuahua

No half-baked apples for my tea
It's hot or cold no in between

If your gonna jump
If your gonna jump
If your gonna jump

If you're gonna jump, then jump far, fly like a sky diver
If you're gonna be a singer, then u better be a rockstar
If you're gonna be a driver, then u better drive a race car
'Cause I'm looking for a guard dog, not buying a chihuahua

If you're gonna jump, then jump far,
If your gonna
If your wanna hit the high notes, you gotta be a diva
If your gonna play a guitar, you gotta play 'til you blister
'Cause I'm looking for a guard dog not buying a chihuahua

Size Matters

Bu-bada Bu-bada Bu-bada bada ba ba ba
Bu-bada Bu-bada Bu-bada bada ba ba ba

I’ve been sizing you up and stuff
Watching you live life large
Enough for the both of us
To big up the love

Got the measure of the man in you
It’s more than the sum of the quarters
It’s true what they say
You’ve got to big up the love

I've been checkin' nice things you do
Standing in the Starbucks queue
You buy coffee for a stranger
Who’s down on their luck

Random acts of kindness flow
Compassion from a hand I’d like to hold
It does it for me
And I can’t get enough

Ohh
Don’t confuse me when I say
Ohh
Please don’t take this the wrong way

You can lead a heart to love
But you can’t make it fall
I’m tired of loving small
‘Cause…

Size matters (size matters)
And not how you think
I’m talking bout your heart
And what you do with it

The more seeds you plant them
More flowers will grow
So…
Big up the love ‘till it overflows

Most blokes to shallow to swim in
Only interested in one thing
It’s all so meaningless
'Cause puddles dry up
A view of the world so small
It limits the size of the dream
And you achieve in it

(A new panorama)

And you put your arms around me
I see my life how it should be
You can lead a heart to love
But you can’t make it fall
I’m tired of loving small
‘Cause…

Size matters (size matters)
And not how you think
I’m talking bout your heart
And what you do with it

The more seeds you plant them
More flowers will grow
So…
Big up the love ‘till it overflows
(Big up the love)
Big up the love ‘till it overflows

Big it up, big it up
(big it up)
Big it up, big it up

(size matters)

Big it up, big it up
(big up the love)
Big it up, big it up

Oh Oh
Ohhh...

You can lead a heart to love
But you can’t make it fall
I’m tired of loving small

Bu-bada Bu-bada Bu-bada bada ba ba ba
Bu-bada Bu-bada Bu-bada bada ba ba ba

Size matters (size matters)
And not how you think
I’m talking bout your heart
And what you do with it

The more seeds you plant them
More flowers will grow
So…
Big up the love ‘till it overflows
(Big up the love)
Big up the love ‘till it overflows

Big it up, big it up
(big it up)
Big it up, big it up

It’s the little things you do
That show me how big you are

Big up the love ‘till it overflows

Stumble

I'm not the kind of girl you bring to mother
I'm not the kind of girl you kiss in public
My manners leave a lot to be desired
At least I'm not a liar
I'm not about the subtle innuendo
More likely to throw rocks up at your window
Won't walk on eggshells so you don't hear the crazy things I'm saying when you get near me
I'd rather disappear than be faking it

[Chorus:]
Anyway, you like me yeah I know it
You're so transparent
How you stumble 'round those words so well
You like me there i said it
Don't need a dictionary helping me 'cause I can spell
My foot was in my mouth the day I met you
All my friends they said I'd never get you
But they don't know it when they see it
They need glasses to believe it
They don't understand so be it...
What can I say anyway

[Chorus]

Bridge
By the way you turn me on to your favorite band
By the way you pour me coffee when I'm too tired to stand
By the way you lift me up when I'm fading
Breathe me in when I'm suffocating
Don't say that it's just because you can
Don't be stupid thinking I've misjudged you
I know enough to now when someone trusts you
Why fight it now it isn't gonna hurt you...

[Chorus]

The One That Got Away

Would you spare me a minute give me a single chance
To look in your eyes let me hold your hand
I want to get close enough to read you, understand you
Open up your heart open up your mind
Nobody needs another stalker in your life
I'm only here to help you learn to love me, to know me

[Chorus]
I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away
I need a look that stuns you makes you want to stay
Don't want to speak in case it comes out wrong
Don't want to blink cause in that second you could be gone
I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story around
I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground
Meet me in the middle like I want you to
I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through

Did you see me staring you caught my eye
Don't turn around don't walk away
The night is young can we get together
Got so many questions feelings I can't explain
We're worlds apart don't even know your name
I'm longing to give you my heart

[Chorus]

Turn around don't evaporate
Like you never came turn around
Don't be a ghost forever never there to haunt me
Sliding doors they aren't just on a train
We're alone on a platform in the rain
There's a chance and it won't come again
Turn around your whole life has changed

[Chorus]

Chasing Cars

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Have said too much
It's not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how is well
Just know that these things will never change
For us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

Love Like This (feat. Sean Kingston)

[Natasha:]
Oh…
Never find a love like this
Oh…
Never find a love like this

We go back so far,
swingin in your back yard,
all the things that we used to do
We were cool back in high school
ooh I really liked you,
must have been your attitude.

That's why you keep on runnin
in and out of my mind.
As the years they'll roll by,
Baby, now I know why
I keep comin back to you.

You're the only one that knows me,
love it when you hold me,
never find a love like this
Let me hear you say
now I'll never be lonely,
look at what you've shown me,
never find a love like this

Well this life tried to keep us apart
you keep callin me back to your heart
Let me hear you say
arent you glad you found me,
wrap you all around me,
never find a love like this.

All the guys tried to take me,
you're the one who saved me,
I feel like I owe you my life.
And as strange as it may seem,
I'll go if you take me
home and lent to sacrifice.

That's why you keep on runnin
in and out of my mind.
As the years, they'll roll by,
it's not hard to know why
I keep comin' back to you.

You're the only one that knows me,
love it when you hold me,
never find a love like this
Let me hear you say
Now I'll never be lonely,
look at what you’ve shown me,
never find a love like this.

Cause this life tried to keep us apart,
you keep calling me back to your heart.
Let me hear you say,
aren't you glad you found me,
wrap you all around me,
never find a love like this.

[Sean Kingston:]
May never find a love, love, love a love like this,
that still make me think about my middle school kiss.
I sit here in this chair and I wish
for you not to leave me now.
My friends they always told me
not to make you my wifey,
man they was putting you down.
And now they see we rollin,
me and you, we strollin,
they don't wanna come around.

[Natasha:]
Let me hear you say,
you're the only one that knows me,
love it when you hold me,
never find a love like this.
Let me hear you say,
now I'll never be lonely,
look at what you've shown me,
never find a love like this.

When this life tries to keep us apart,
you keep callin me back to your heart.
Let me hear you say,
I'm so glad you found me,
wrap you all around me,
never find a love like this,

Oh… Never find a love like this…
When this life tried to keep us apart,
you keep callin me back to your heart,
Let me hear you say,
Oh… Never find a love like this.
Oh… Never find a love like this
