Here With Me lyrics - Dido

I didn't hear you leave

I wonder how am I still here

And I don't wanna move a thing

It might change my memory

Oh, I am what I am

I'll do what I want

But I can't hide

And I won't go

I won't sleep

And I can't breathe

Until you're resting here with me

And I won't leave

And I can't hide

I cannot be

Until you're resting here with me

Don't wanna call my friends

For they might wake me from this dream

And I can't leave this bed

Risk forgetting all that's been

Oh, I am what I am

I'll do what I want

But I can't hide

And I won't go

I won't sleep

And I can't breathe

Until you're resting here with me

And I won't leave

And I can't hide

I cannot be

Until you're resting here

And I won't go

I won't sleep

And I can't breathe

Until you're resting here with me

And I won't leave

And I can't hide

I cannot be

Until you're resting here with me

Oh, I am what I am

I'll do what I want

But I can't hide

And I won't go

I won't sleep

And I can't breathe

Until you're resting here with me

And I won't leave

And I can't hide

I cannot be

Until you're resting here

And I won't go

I won't sleep

And I can't breathe

Until you're resting here with me

And I won't leave

And I can't hide

I cannot be

Until you're resting here with me

Hunter lyrics - Dido

With one light on in one room

I know you're up when I get home

With one small step upon the stair

I know your look when I get there

If you were a king up there on your throne

Would you be wise enough to let me go?

For this queen you think you own

Wants to be a hunter again

I want to see the world alone again

To take a chance on life again

So let me go

The unread book and painful look

The TV's on, the sound is down

One long pause, then you begin

Oh, look what the cat's brought in

If you were a king up there on your throne

Would you be wise enough to let me go?

For this queen you think you own

Wants to be a hunter again

I want to see the world alone again

To take a chance on life again

So let me go, let me leave

For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now

And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow

And all the time I'm thinking, thinking

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

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, let me leave

Let me go

Don't Think Of Me lyrics - Dido

So you're with her not with me

I hope she's sweet and so pretty

I hear she cooks delightfully

A little angel beside you

So you're with her and not with me

Oh how lucky one man can be

I hear your house is small and clean

Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen

Oh how lovely it must be

When you see her sweet smile baby

Don't think of me

When she lays in your warm arms

Don't think of me

So you're with her not with me

I know she spreads sweet honey

In fact your best friend, I heard he spent

Last night with her

Now how do you feel, how do you feel

When you see her sweet smile baby

Don't think of me

When she lays in your warm arms

Don't think of me

And it's too late and it's too bad

Don't think of me

And it's too late and it's too bad

Don't think of me

Does it bother you now all the mess I made?

Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear?

Does it bother you now all the angry games we played?

Does it bother you now when I'm not there?

When you see her sweet smile baby

Don't think of me

When she lays in your warm arms

Don't think of me

And it's too late and it's too bad

Don't think of me

And it's too late and it's too bad

Don't think of me

My Lover's Gone lyrics - Dido

My lover's gone, his boots no longer by my door

He left at dawn and as I slept I felt him go

Returns no more, I will not watch the ocean

My lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever

Bring him home again, bring him home again

My lover's gone, I know that kiss will be my last

No more his song, the tune upon his lips has passed

I sing alone while I watch the ocean

My lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever

Bring him home again, bring him home again

My lover's gone, his boots no longer by my door

He left at dawn and as I slept I felt him go

Returns no more, I will not watch the ocean

My lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever

Bring him home again, bring him home again

All You Want lyrics - Dido

I'd like to watch you sleep at night

To hear you breathe by my side

And although sleep leaves me behind

There's nowhere I'd rather be

And now our bed is oh so cold

My hands feel empty, no-one to hold

And I can sleep what side I want

It's not the same with you gone

Oh if you'd come home, I'll let you know that

All you want, is right here in this room, all you want

And all you need, is sitting here with you, all you want

It's been three years, one night apart

But in that night you tore my heart

If only you had slept alone

If those seeds had not been sown

Oh you could come home and you would know that

All you want, is right here in this room, all you want

All you need is sitting here with you, all you want

I hear your key turning in the door

I won't be hearing that sound anymore

And you and your sin can leave the way you just came in

Send my regards to her

I hope you've found that

All you want, is right there in that room, all you want

All you need is sitting there with you, all you want

I'd like to watch you sleep at night

To hear you breathe by my side

Thank You lyrics - Dido

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering 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 grey

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 call 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

Oh, 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

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

Oh, just to be with you

Is having the best day of my life

And I want to thank you

For giving me the best day of my life

Oh, just to be with you

Is having the best day of my life

Honestly OK lyrics - Dido

I just want to feel safe in my own skin

I just want to be happy again

I just want to feel deep in my own world

But I'm so lonely I don't even wanna be with myself anymore

On a different day if I was safe in my own skin

Then I wouldn't feel lost and so frightened

But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin

And I'm so lonely I don't even wanna be with myself anymore

And I'm so lonely I don't even wanna be with myself anymore

And I'm so lonely I don't even wanna be with myself anymore

I just want to feel safe in my own skin

I just want to be happy again

Slide lyrics - Dido

Even on a day like this

When you're crawling on the floor

Reaching for the phone to ring

Anyone who knows you anymore

It's all right to make mistakes, you're only human

Inside everybody's hiding something

Staring at the same four walls

Have you tried to help yourself?

Rings around your eyes, they don't hide

That you need to get some rest

It's all right to make mistakes, you're only human

Inside everybody's hiding something

Take time to catch your breath and choose your moment

Don't slide

Don't slide, don't slide

Don't slide, slide, slide

Even at a time like this

When the morning seems so far

Think that pain belongs to you

But it's happened to us all

It's all right to make mistakes, you're only human

Inside everybody's hiding something

Don't slide, don't slide

Don't slide, slide, slide

You bought this on yourself

And it's high time you left it there

Lie here and rest your head

Dream of something else instead

Don't slide, don't slide

Don't slide, slide, slide

Don't slide, don't slide

Don't slide, slide, slide

Isobel lyrics - Dido

I thought it was funny when you missed the train

When I rang you at home they said you'd left yesterday

I thought it was strange when your car was found

By the tree in Ennis where we used to hang around

Dear Isobel, I hope you're well

And what you've done is right

Oh, it's been such hell, I wish you well

I hope you're safe tonight

It's been a long day coming

And long will it last when it's last day leaving

I'm helping it pass by loving you more

And who he would become

All the things he'd have done?

Would he have loved you and not let you down?

And would he be stronger than his father?

Don't punish yourself, leave it well alone

Dear Isobel, I hope you're well

And what you've done is right

Oh, it's been such hell, I wish you well

I hope you're safe tonight

It's been a long day coming

And long will it last when it's last day leaving

I'm helping it pass by loving you more

It's been a long day coming

And long will it last when it's last day leaving

I'm helping it pass by loving, loving you more

I'm No Angel lyrics - Dido

Hmm, you're right

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?

My Life lyrics - Dido

What I choose to do

Is of no concern to you

And your friends

Where I lay my hat

May not be my home

But I will last on my own

'Cause it's me and my life

It's my life (it's my life)

Oh, the world has sat

In the palm of my hand

Not that you'd see

And I'm tired and bored

Of waiting for you

And all those things you never do

'Cause it's me and my life

It's my life, it's my life

Take My Hand lyrics - Dido

Touch my skin and tell me what you're thinking

Take my hand and show me where we're going

Lie down next to me, look into my eyes and tell me

Oh, tell me what you're seeing

So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling

What you feel is what I feel for you

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you

I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you

See my eyes, they carry your reflection

Watch my lips and hear the words I'm telling you

Give your trust to me and look into my heart

And show me, and show me what you're doing

So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling

What you feel is what I feel for you

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you

I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you

Take your time and if I'm lying to you

I know you'll find that you believe me

You believe me, you believe me

You believe me

Feel the sun on your face

And tell me what you're thinking

Catch the snow on your tongue

And show me how it tastes

Take your time

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you

I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you

Take your time and if I'm lying to you

I know you'll find that you believe me

Take my hand and if I'm lying to you

I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you

Take your time and if I'm lying to you

I know you'll find that you believe me

You believe me, you believe me

You believe me, you believe me

You believe me

Worthless lyrics - Dido

I know what you came for

And I know when you'll leave

You came for my heart

And it's lost to me

For I won't stop you

I will open my door

My heart is here waiting

I don't need it no more

I know why you're leaving

And I'll just let it be

I am left with nothing

And now you're lost to me

For I can't stop you

I will open my door

My heart is here waiting

I don't need it no more

I know why you're waiting

Give me time breathe

Before you take my heart now

And just get up and leave

For I won't stop you

I will open my door

My heart is here waiting

I don't need it no more

For love makes a fool of me

For love makes a clown of us

(Yes it does, yes it does, yes it does)

You know, it's worthless as worthless can be

I know what you came for

And I know when you'll leave

You came for my heart

And it's lost to me

For I won't stop you

I will open my door

My heart is here waiting

I don't need it no more

I know why you're waiting

Give me time breathe

Before you take my heart now

And just get up and leave

For I won't stop you

I will open my door

My heart is here waiting

I don't need it no more

I know why you're waiting

Give me time breathe

Before you take my heart now

And just get up and leave

For I won't stop you

I will open my door

My heart is here waiting

I don't need it no more

Me lyrics - Dido

I've never had a filling and I've got blue eyes

I've got every kind of lipstick you can buy

I've got 3 cupboards for my shoes

And a mirror that always tells the truth

I've got clothes in case it's hot

Clothes for when it's cold

But still I don't know what to wear

What to wear tonight

I've got the concentration of a small child

Patience - well, not all the time

A wounded look and a silly smile

That always gets me what I want

I've got a garden, but it has no grass

It's got plastic chairs and the tables glass

My cat at home thinks it's a dog

And who am I to judge if that's all?

I've got a lot of cards on my shelf

Everyone of them written to myself

I've got a million pounds in the bank

(Don't be silly, you haven't been to a bank in your life)

There's a woman next door who robbed a bank

A man upstairs who likes to drink

And sing to us at 3 in the morning

I've got 5 best friends, 2 parents and a brother

And a man at home who likes to think

That every song's written for him

So this one's for you

Fire And Rain lyrics - Dido

(originally by James Taylor)

Just yesterday morning

They let me know you were gone

Susanne the plans they made put an end to you

I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song

I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen sunny days

That I thought would never end

I've seen lonely times

When I could not find a friend

But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus

You've got to help me make a stand

You've just got to see me through another day

My body's aching and my time is at hand

And I won't make it any other way

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen sunny days

That I thought would never end

I've seen lonely times

When I could not find a friend

But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time

My back turned towards the sun

Lord knows when the cold wind blows

It'll turn your head around

Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line

To talk about things to come

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen sunny days

That I thought would never end

I've seen lonely times

When I could not find a friend

But I always thought that I'd see you, baby

One more time again, now

Thought I'd see you one more time again

There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now

Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now

If I Rise lyrics - Dido (with A. R. Rahman)

(from "127 Hours" soundtrack)

[Dido:]

In your life, you're mad

In your car, you're sad

O' your taller now I've found

Hold your fire course

O' your fallen out

Go and sow your courses

[A. R. Rahman:]

If I rise, evermore try

If I believe, there is more than this

There is more than this

[Dido:]

If I rise, one more try

All I give, more than this

O' your taller now I've found

Hold your fire course

O' your fallen out

Go and sow your courses

[A. R. Rahman (Dido):]

If I rise, evermore try

If I believe, there is more than this

(There is more than this)

If I found I wanted more

That though I've wandered far from home

I'd never lost the way back again

Back again

[Dido (A. R. Rahman):]

If I rise, (evermore try)

If I believe, there is more than this

There is more than this

If I found I wanted more

That though I've wandered far from home

If I found I wanted more

That though I've wandered far from home

[Dido:]

If I believe, there's more than this

Even more than this

NYC lyrics - Dido

White house on the beach

With steps down to the sand

The plane takes off and we

We all cheer when it lands

Waiting in a room

Where the windows won't open

Got coffee with no milk

And a heart still unbroken

Still unbroken

Still unbroken

And the music stops

And the beat goes on

And the music stops

But I'm dancing on

And I won't be home until I've walked

Every street in New York

And I'll walk on

Without your love, without your love

Dancin' on 'til I belong

There's no need to return

Without your love, until I have walked

Every street in New York

Boat goes

From one island to the next

An old man drinkin' beer

Women on the bench

And the music stops

And the beat goes on

And the music stops

But I'm dancing on

And I won't be home until I've walked

Every street in New York

And I'll walk on

Without your love, without your love

Dancin' on 'til I belong

There's no need to return

Without your love, until I have walked

Every street in New York

Glory when my plane takes off

Don't know me when I'm home

Say your prayers with your fingers crossed

Forget to call 'fore I go

And if I had to fall tonight

Just say I made you sad

And though I've fallen in your call and palm

And I won't be home until I've walked

Every street in New York

And I'll walk on

Without your love, without your love

Dancin' on 'til I belong

There's no need to return

Without your love, until I have walked

Every street in New York

Paris lyrics - Dido

Coming back from Paris on the train

I really didn't care if the journey took all day

Trying to turn the pages of my magazine

While trying to keep a hold of your hand

And ordering a coffee that I wouldn't ever drink

Just to keep you and Paris on my mind

Just to keep you and Paris on my mind

I didn't know it would be the last time

The last time I saw you

At Waterloo we went our separate ways

When I got in my cab I didn't turn and wave

Didn't go to work, just went to bed

Trying to keep you and Paris on my mind

Trying to keep you and Paris on my mind

I didn't know it would be the last time

The last time I saw you

I phoned your office this afternoon

They said they hadn't heard anything from you

It's been seven days without a word

I have to keep you and Paris on my mind

I have to keep you and Paris on my mind

I didn't know it would be the last time

The last time I saw you

Going back to Paris on the train

Raining and without you, it's not the same

I have to do this journey one more time

Just to keep you and Paris on my mind

Just to keep you and Paris on my mind

I didn't know it would be the last time

The last time I saw you

The last time I saw you

The last time I saw you

The last time I saw you

Everything To Lose lyrics - Dido

[from "Sex and the City 2" soundtrack]

Mhhhhhhmmmhhhhhmmmhhhmmm

I used to be so fearless so limitless and free
Happy on my own and nothing really bothered me.
I had desires to see the world, jump out of planes and fly
And I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die

I used to be so sure of things and self-contained
I could carry on with no need to explain
It didn't matter if I ever made it home
Could go too fast, and drink all night and dance alone

Mhhhhhmmmhhhhmmmmm

I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die
I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die

Whooooooaaaaaoooaaaa

I've got everything to lose

I used to be so thoughtless, so easy and free
Could walk away, not think ahead, and had no plans to keep.
No hand to told, no one to bring down with me.
I wouldn't see the worst and it only hurts me.

I love to be alive but I was not afraid to die

Whoooooaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I've got everything to lose

Whoooooaaaaaahhhhhhh

Since I've met you

I've got everything to lose

Mhhhhhhmmmhhhhhmmmmhhhmm

I've got everything to lose

Whooooooahhhhhhhhhh

Since I've met you
I've got everything to lose
Whooooooooaaaaahhhhhhh

I've got everything to lose
