in the city sky rise fairytale at night,
you pushed me to the top draw so we could see the sides,
i could tell that you wanted to
jump in the pool,
jump in the pool,
i looked at you i knew you wanted to
jump in the pool,
jump in the pool.

on the poolside staring into glowing blue,
swimsuit issues with my toes curled in the ____

jump in the pool,
jump in the pool.

Doo do do do do
Doo do do do doo do doo do dooo do do

Doo do do do do
Doo do do do doo do doo do dooo do do

Lying alone
In the hospital
I can't do anything right,
When I'm with someone like you

Oh deep in my heart, yes I know
Our love's run out
Oh deep in my heart, yes I know
I caused this row

Nothing is lost
Only a memory
A glitch in my heart
'Till you come back to me

Nothing is lost
Only a memory
A glitch in my heart
'Till you come back to me

Doo do do do do
Doo do do do doo do doo do dooo do do

Doo do do do do
Doo do do do doo do doo do dooo do do

Lying alone
In the hospital
Don't wanna check myself out
If I'm going home to you

Oh deep in my heart, yes I know
Your love will soon wear out
Oh deep in my heart, yes I know
I think you'll work something out

Nothing is lost
Only a memory
A glitch in my heart
'Till you come back to me

Nothing is lost
Only a memory
A glitch in my heart
'Till you come back to me

*instrumental*

Nothing is lost
Only a memory
A glitch in my heart
'Till you come back to me

Nothing is lost
Only a memory
A glitch in my heart
'Till you come back to me

Doo do do do do
Doo do do do doo do doo do dooo do do

Doo do do do do
Doo do do do doo do doo do dooo do do

One day we're gonna live in Paris
I promise
I'm on it
When I'm bringing in the money
I promise
I'm on it
I'm gonna take you out to club showcase
We're gonna live it up
I promise
Just hold on a little more

And every night we'll watch the stars
They'll be out for us
They'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us
They'll be out for us

One day we're gonna live in Paris
I promise
I'm on it
I'll find you that French boy,
You'll find me that French girl
I promise
I'm on it

So go and pack your bags
For the long haul
We're gonna lose ourselves
I promise
This time it's you and me for evermore

And every night we'll watch the stars
They'll be out for us
They'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us
They'll be out for us

And every night we'll watch the stars
They'll be out for us
They'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us
They'll be out for us

She was young in her mind but the days, they were old and tired
Along came love, she had yearned for so long, she felt on fire
She'd do anything for him

He was close as the label in a shirt, never left her side
He would lace handkerchief in the rain if she ever walked by
He'd do anything for her

Hold back and kiss slow
The lights out in your cold heart now

Stuck in a world that would pull them apart, and it cost in time
If only they knew that ahead loomed a cloud that was as black as night
She'd do anything for him

They were strong, they could take on the world and put up a fight
And even the clouds couldn't stand in the way when they held on tight
He'd do anything for her

Don't hold your breath too long
For white diamonds in the snow

. . .


I see you come out of a strobe
We stop and try to catch some breath
I lost it, I can't remember that
We mean well but it never does

And after all this time
Who would've thought I'd need you here?

I heard you got somebody new
But what made you think of coming back?
I held you, I can remember that
The walk home, we stood out in the cold

And you melt white snow
Before you let me know

. . .


You'll need some kind of saint
To pull those impure thoughts right out of your head
Love that poor complexity
You wouldn't want it any other way

(2X)
Climbing on, climbing aboard
Giving it a little bit more
Climbing on, climbing aboard
Giving it a little bit more

A little bit...

Trust me and you'll discern
De-fibrillated hearts with every pulse
We march on to file in
The backwards circle right above our heads

Climbing on, climbing aboard
Giving it a little bit more
Climbing on, climbing aboard
Giving it a little bit more

A little bit...

(2X)
Don't stop, Don't stop
Don't stop ,Don't stop

We've had to cross the line
Despite the fact our feet dipped in the fire
We pressured a bull again
Then shake your tambourines into the dark
You need some kind of saint
To pull those impure thoughts right out your head
Like that poor complexity
You wouldn't want it any other way

(4X)
Climbing on, climbing aboard (don't stop)
Giving it a little bit more (don't stop)
Climbing on, climbing aboard (don't stop)
Giving it a little bit more (don't stop)

(Yeah...)

(4X)
Climbing on, climbing aboard
Giving it a little bit more
Climbing on, climbing aboard
Giving it a little bit more

A little bit...

(2X)
Climbing on, climbing aboard
Giving it a little bit more
Climbing on, climbing aboard
Giving it a little bit more

Don't you know sometimes these things they don't work out?
Best to walk away before your love runs out
Don't you feel sometimes you don't know who you are
Giving all you got but you all just …

I'm lovesick

Cold hearts, hold the world in your hands
Got me feeling lovesick, in your arms

Don't you feel sometimes you might need this just too much
When everybody else thinks you're out of touch?
Don't you think it's about time you turn the page and move on?
And learn to shake it up before your love runs out

. . .


I close my eyes, on the dance floor
And forget about you
I lose myself in flashing colors
I've gotta see it through

You're too much,
I take it that we're over
Should we even care at all?
You're too much, too much
Lets shake hands and say good(bye)

(X2)
Your love is out
Believing despite it all
Give me your hand
Lets face this night and see it through

Right by my feet, lay broken glasses
You skeleton boy
Sweat from the walls, drips on my shoulder
I gotta see it through

You're too much,
I take it that we're over
Should we even care at all?
You're too much, too much
Lets shake hands and say good(bye)

Whoo, yeah
Whoo, yeah

(X5)
Your love is out
Believing despite it all
Give me your hand
Lets face this night and see it through

You and me in the photobooth
Waiting for the flash, close the curtain urgently
You and me like young lovers do
Timing for the kiss and close enough to hear you breathe
You and me in the photobooth
Waiting for the flash, style with a cup of tea
You and me in the photobooth
Giving it the nash, posing like we're this years models

You take a lot
And call me up
You should.. call
I suppose you're right
I tell a lie
It may..yay end

You wanna shake it right down
You wanna leave me somehow
a black-and-white negatives
You wanna shake it right?
You wanna shake it right down
You wanna leave me somehow
a black-and-white negatives
So you wanna shake it right?

You and me in the photobooth
You and me like young lovers do
You and me in the photobooth
(Waiting for the flash, style with a cup of tea)
You and me in the photobooth
Giving it the nash, posing like we're this years models

You take a lot
And call me up
You should.. call
I suppose you're right
I tell a lie
It may..yay end

You wanna shake it right down
You wanna leave me somehow
a black-and-white negatives
You wanna shake it right?
You wanna shake it right down
You wanna leave me somehow
A black-and-white negatives
So you wanna shake it right?

You and me in the photobooth
You and me in the photobooth

. . .


Would you give it all
To take you back when?
I know its been so long
Since you felt the same

You're all I need (x5)

When you touch the lips
I won't forget to kiss (?)
You hold you me in your arms
And never let go

You hold you me in your arms
And never let go

. . .


If you could have relationships
Written on a timetable
If you could separate yourself
Oh we do keep contemplating?
While all the hearts a-sinking?
Say your goodybye's
Ohhh
If you could have relationships
Ticker on your pocket watch
If you could break off from the chink and
Oh, woooo
Say your goodbyes
Say your goodbye
Say your goodbyes!

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

If you could have relationships
And end them with a simple hand shake
If you could tear yourself away
'Cause no one's lonely having fun girl
A mass of bodies keep you company
Ohh
Say your goodbyes
Oh, if you could have relationships
A ticker on your pocket watch
If you could break off from the chick and
Oh!
Wooo
Say your goodbyes
Say your goodbyes
Say your goodbyes!

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

*get funky (instrumental)*

Don't stop
Don't stop

Give it up
It's time to leave
Give it up
It's time to leave
Ohh wooo

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

Give it up
It's time to leave
And I'm on the way
???
No stopping me
No stopping me, no

If you could have relationships
And end them with a simple hand shake
Would you?

If you could have relationships
And end them with a simple hand shake
Would you?
Would you?
