Still On My Mind (2019)
Hurricanes lyrics - Dido
I wanna wake up
With your weight by my side
And I wanna think that
You look good as you rise
And I wanna turn to you
Turn around by your side
And I wanna think
But not to say
Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes
And I wanna see you
As you walk through the door
And time will make us
Some ways less and some ways more
And I wanna talk of nothing
As the world passes by
And I wanna think
But not to say
Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes
Let me not turn away
From happiness or pain
Just not to run away
In my heart and in my head
Let me face
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes
Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Hurricanes
Give You Up lyrics - Dido
I'm not sitting with my head in my hands right now
I don't care where you've been
No, I ain't watching the clock or getting my phone out
I won't drink myself to sleep
Oh, oh
You don't, you don't get under my skin no more
No, it's gone, it's gone
I ain't thinking 'bout you no more
I found a way to let you go
So you don't have to stay now
A broken mind
I came close
But you can't rip my heart out
I'm giving up
I'm giving up
I'll give you up
I found a way to let you go
It's gonna rip your heart out
Got your picture covering up the cracks on the wall
But the lines won't fade
Didn't think that I would be missing you at all
Maybe that was my mistake
Oh, oh
You don't, you don't get under my skin no more
No, it's gone, it's gone
I ain't thinking 'bout you no more
I found a way to let you go
So you don't have to stay now
A broken mind
I came close
But you can't rip my heart out
I'm giving up
I'm giving up
I'll give you up
I found a way to let you go
It's gonna rip your heart out
Nothing you say will change my mind
You couldn't wait to leave me behind
Nothing you say will change my mind
You couldn't wait to leave me behind
Nothing you say will change my mind
You couldn't wait to leave me behind
I found a way to let you go
So you don't have to stay now
A broken mind
I came close
But you can't rip my heart out
I'm giving up
I'm giving up
I'll give you up
I found a way to let you go
It's gonna rip your heart out
Hell After This lyrics - Dido
Get a room, fall in love just for an afternoon
Nothing goes too slow, I moves alone
A song that plays makes me miss all that I've lost
'Til the sun goes down and the lights go on
This feeling I'm fine, one when you're gone
Hell after this is gone when I'm home
If I'm going to Hell after this
I'm gonna enjoy it while I can
I won't remember your face after this
I'm gonna enjoy it while I can
Got a coin and the sun, back in time
Looking up, got the sky on my mind
Out at sea, get a drink, it's time for a change
Feels like God is on my side
This feeling I'm fine, one when you're gone
Hell after this is gone when I'm home
If I'm going to Hell after this
I'm gonna enjoy it while I can
I won't remember your face after this
I'm gonna enjoy it while I can
Oh, if I'm going to Hell after this
I'm gonna enjoy it while I can
I'm gonna enjoy it while I can
I'm gonna enjoy it while I can
You Don't Need A God lyrics - Dido
I can hear the music
Just a few notes from a passing car
And it can take me
With heart opening speed
To somewhere not here
I'm held stock still by a sight of something
Nothing much to see, but enough to catch me
And send me absolutely elsewhere
And take me absolutely right here
You don't need a god
To pray out here
You don't need a god
To stay out here
You don't need a thing
But what we have right here
It can be one word
Or the smallest thing that only I see
It hits like lightning
And it changed the way I feel
And sends me absolutely elsewhere
And holds me absolutely right here
You don't need a god
To pray out here
You don't need a god
To stay out here
You don't need a thing
But what we have right here
You don't need a god
To pray out here
You don't need a god
To stay out here
You don't need a thing
But what we have right here
Right here
Right here
Take You Home lyrics - Dido
The sun is hanging low across the street
As we're fighting, loving, talking in the heat
We're all walking home burnt and late
Every day we'll meet, every day we'll meet
And do the same
I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my own
I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my way home
We could dance all night and sleep all day
Kiss and love and just walk away
Took pride in all the rules we'd disobey
Moved so slow, we didn't see a change
I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my own
I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my way home
I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my own
I can sing you a song, take you home
But I can't seem to find my way home
But I can't seem to find my way home
But I can't seem to find my way home
But I can't seem to find my way home
But I can't seem to find my way home
But I can't seem to find my way home
Some Kind Of Love lyrics - Dido
She found the records lying underneath the bed
All the songs she used to sing
All the songs she used to play
All those words, those melodies
And the promise of some kind of love
And the promise of some kind of love
When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever taste the same
When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever feel as good again
Now I know how much the anger
However much the pain
Destroy only enough that enough still remains of
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love
The songs hadn't changed, every note just the same
But when she played them once again
All those words, those melodies
Like better days past and gone, leaving her behind
With the promise of some kind of love
With the promise of some kind of love
When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever taste the same
When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever feel as good again
Now I know how much the anger
However much the pain
Destroy only enough that enough still remains of
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love
Some kind of love
She put the records back in their place
And straightened her dress, and wiped her face
She closed and locked the door
And left them lying on the floor
And she sang
Mmmm, some kind of love
Some kind of love, mmmm
Mmmm, some kind of love
Some kind of love, mmmm
Mmmm, some kind of love
Some kind of love
Still On My Mind lyrics - Dido
Rolling seas, endless roads heading into the sun
Big skies, bigger dreams, enough for everyone
I was brave, free of love, I wanted to travel alone
We were born in the light, I'm sorry I remembered it wrong
I'm sorry that I broke you down
I'm sorry that I thought it through
I'm sorry that I looked and ran
I couldn't keep up good enough
You were there when I needed you
A hand without a word
Stood at my back when I wanted you
Turned away when it hurt
You were there when I called for you
And then I walked away
I've run so far, but you're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
The sun began to burn too bright
I saw myself in the light
I opened the door and lost the dream
And couldn't go back inside
I took a road that led nowhere
I didn't know that then
But I made my choice
Now I've gone too far to come back here again
I'm sorry that I let you down
I'm sorry that I lost the way
I'm sorry that I died and then came alive
I couldn't keep up
You were there when I needed you
A hand without a word
Stood at my back when I wanted you
Turned away when it hurt
You were there when I called for you
And then I walked away
Well, I've run so far, you're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
You were there when I needed you
A hand without a word
Stood at my back when I wanted you
Turned away when it hurt
You were there when I called for you
And then I walked away
I've run so far, but you're still on my mind
You're still on my mind
Mad Love lyrics - Dido
Let 'em tell us stories as we lie in the fields
And watch the birds soar above
Let 'em tell us of love and loss
How we'll live and how we'll die
'Cause they say he once was
Somebody with a black suit
And good shoes, and a perfect smile
It makes me want to ask
Was it in the mad loves
And the big fights
So was it in the small change
And the passing updates
So was it in the giving up
And the getting on
Oh, was it in the mad love
So was it in the mad love
So was it in the mad loves
And the big fights
We'll let 'em tell us stories as we lie in the fields
And watch the clouds pass above
How paper burns and pictures fade
Only melody remains
And sure enough he laughs as if he knows
Makes me want to ask
So was it in the mad loves
And the big fights
So was it in the right words
At the right times
So was it in the giving up
And the moving on
Oh, was it in the mad love
So was it in the mad love
So was it in the mad love
So was it in the little things
We all want
We all want
We all want
Was it in the mad loves
And the big fights
So was it in the small change
And the passing updates
So was it in the giving up
And the getting on
So was it in the mad love
So was it in the mad love
So was it in the mad love
So was it in the mad love
So was it in the mad love
And the big fights
Walking By lyrics - Dido
Keep me locked up
Keep me shut in
You can, but my mind still roams free
You can keep me caged
You can tell me to be quiet
But I remember everything
Please don't forget that you broke your own heart
And don't forget that you lost your mind
Please stop telling everybody that I didn't follow you
'Cause every step I take I'm always here without you
And I don't need words or anything from you
And I wish I never felt it
Kept on walking by
And I wish I never met you
Kept on walking by
Keep me locked up
Keep me shut in
But I remember everything
Please don't forget that you sought your own heart
And don't forget that you lost your way
Please stop telling everybody that I didn't follow you
'Cause every step I take I'm always here behind you
And I don't need words or anything from you
And I wish I never seen it
Kept on walking by
And I wish I never met you
Kept on walking by
And I wish I never tried it
Kept on walking by
And I wish I never felt it
Please stop telling everybody that I didn't follow you
'Cause every step I take I'm always here without you
And I don't need words or anything from you
And I wish I never met you
Kept on walking by
And I wish I never felt it
Kept on walking by
And I wish I never seen it
Kept on walking by
And I wish I never met you
Kept on walking by
Friends lyrics - Dido
I know you thought I'd never be
Really much of anything
While you were telling me
I turned against the wind
And when my eyes started to burn
And you turned your back on me
Well, you see, I slipped away
Now time to me
'Cause I've done a hundred things
You've only dreamed
So don't come crying to me
Don't come trying again
No matter how I feel, don't call us friends
'Cause I don't remember anymore how we used to be
No, I don't remember anymore how I used to feel
Don't call us friends
And you waited all alone
For your luck to come along
You assumed that things they'd go your way
It would all just carry on
Well, you see it slipped away
Now time to me
'Cause I've done a hundred things
You've only dreamed
So don't come crying to me
Don't come trying again
No matter how I feel, don't call us friends
'Cause I don't remember anymore how we used to be
No, I don't remember anymore how I used to feel
Don't call us
So don't come crying to me
Don't come trying again
No matter how I feel, don't call us friends
'Cause I don't remember anymore how we used to be
No, I don't remember anymore how I used to feel
Don't call us friends
Chances lyrics - Dido
All I did today
Was wake up and watch TV
Another wasted day
But that's alright with me
When shadows turn to clouds
Good choices won't be made
Until tomorrow comes
But that's alright with me
I will stand and wait until it's mornin'
And I won't make it lyin' down
I will close my eyes so I can't see you
And I will have all my chances again
I want all of my chances again
And as the sky turns red
The streetlights coming on
I could stay up all night, or go to bed
Oh neither's right or wrong
Until tomorrow comes
Until tomorrow comes
I will stand and wait until it's mornin'
And I won't make it lyin' down
I will close my eyes so I can't see you
And I will have all my chances again
I want all of my chances again
I will stand
I will stand
I will stand and wait until it's mornin'
And I won't make it lyin' down
I will close my eyes so I can't see you
And I will have all my chances again
I want all of my chances again
Have To Stay lyrics - Dido
You were born with a smile on your face
And it's been there everyday
When you cry I remind you that I'm never gone away
That I'm here by your side until you send me away
When you're one hundred thousand years
You say 'til then, I have to stay
And when we walk out hand in hand
And you tell me about your day
Nothing else matters
But all you have to say
And when you wake up far too early
It's a chance to start again
And I don't know what will happen
But I know I want to stay
And if the light turns to darkness
Your face might turn away
When your words don't sound as sweet anymore
I'll listen to what you say
And when you're pushing me and telling me
I still won't walk away
Yes, I don't know what will happen
But I know I have to stay
'Cause that's what love is, darling
And I'm here as long as you need
When you show you're okay on your own
I'll smile and leave
'Cause that's what love is, darling
And I'm here as long as you need
When you show you're okay on your own
I'll smile and leave
I'll smile and leave
Just Because lyrics - Dido
We are, we are living our dream, we are
Singing our song, we are, just because
We know, we know we're carrying on, we'll be
Chasing the things we love, just because
You are the sun
Happy out here alone
You don't need to feel it all
Just sing your song
Sing your song
Just sing your song
Just sing your song
Just sing your song
Hello, hello, you're taking a chance, you know
And you can say you tried, just because
If you get it wrong, just laugh it off
You don't need to hide in the dark
We know, we know, it won't last
Sing your song
Just sing your song
(Doesn't mean we want it too)
(Just because everybody does it)
Sing your song
(Doesn't mean we want it too)
(Just because everybody does it)
Just sing your song
(Doesn't mean that we need to)
Just because everybody does it
Doesn't mean we need to
Just because everybody wants it
Doesn't mean we want it too
Just because everybody's talking
We don't need to share
Just because is not enough
Just sing your song
We are, we are
Whoever we say we are
We are what we try to do
We'll be what we want to be
We are, we are
Whoever we say we are
We are what we try to do
We'll do what we want to be
You're the sun, you're the sun, you're the sun
Happy out there alone
You don't need to hear it all
You don't need to see it all
Just sing your song
Just sing your song
This Is Love lyrics - Dido
Well, it's done
And now, now we can walk away
Take the love and leave the rest behind
Hey love, hey love
We don't need anything
Now it's just me and you
And more than I deserve
Oh, what a day!
Oh, this is love!
Oh, what a life!
Oh, this is love!
Yes I know there is lost
And there is pain as well
We approve, but you can't win it all
We are safe, we are free
Don't wanna change a thing
And God, I feel thankful for
All you bring to me
Oh, what a day!
Oh, this is love!
Oh, what a life!
Oh, this is love!
Oh, what a day!
Oh, this is love!
Oh, what a life!
Oh, this is love!
Oh, this is love!
Oh, this is love!
What Am I Doing Here lyrics - Dido
Último aviso a los señores pasajeros del vuelo Air France 2049 con destino ParÃs-Charles de Gaulle. Embarquen urgentemente por la puerta número B43
Last call for passengers on flight Air France 2049 to Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Please proceed urgently to gate number B43
There's an empty seat next to me everywhere I go
Even on the plane and on the sofa back at home
Life's too short for all this time
We could have spent as two
I've seen it and I've held it
And it's better spent with you
I have run from most things that come too close
But all those journeys led me here, to your home
Now dated plans keep taking me further from you
And time is running out and I'm tired of missing you
What am I doing here when you're there?
What am I doing here when you're there?
I hope that they don't find me in many years to come
With a list of things by my bed that I've never done
One of them being coming back, travelling back to you
One of them being throwing off all these silly rules
Now dated plans keep taking me further from you
And time is running out and I'm tired of missing you
What am I doing here when you're there?
What am I doing here when you're there?
And I know that you're waiting for me
I know that you're waiting
I know that you're waiting
I know that you're waiting for me
So what am I doing here when you're there?
What am I doing here when you're there?
And I know that you're waiting for me
I know that you're waiting
I know that you're waiting
I know that you're waiting for me
So what am I doing here?

No Freedom lyrics - Dido
Take it by your silence
That I'm free to walk out the door
By the look in your eyes I can tell
You don't think I'll be back for more
Try to think of the world
Where you could stay and these safe hands could go
Take your heart above the water
Wherever I choose to go
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No freedom without love
Even when you don't see me
And even when you don't hear
I'll be flying low below the sun
And you'll feel it all out here
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No freedom without love
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No freedom without love
Standing here in silence
The world in front of me
Holding you in my hand
And seeing as you'd see
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No love without freedom
No freedom without love
No freedom without love
Girl Who Got Away lyrics - Dido
I wanna move with the seasons
And go with the flow
And take it easy
And let stuff go
I wanna sleep like a baby
Rise with the sun
And kick it all back
And get nothing done
I wanna make this day
The longest day
With a warmth that
Delivers happiness
If only for today
I wanna be
The girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
Don't wanna take sides
Don't wanna make sense
Of pounds and pence
I want to be alone
I don't wanna hide
Don't wanna be talked over
Or walked upon
I wanna think the heart
Is bigger than the head
Wanna follow you
But not be led
If only for today
I wanna be
The girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
I know what it's like
To be passed over
To go unnoticed
To be clumsy get things wrong
And I know what it's like
To arrive too late
To be told to leave
To be walked upon
If only for today
I wanna be
The girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
If only for today
I wanna be
The girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
Let Us Move On lyrics - Dido (feat. Kendrick Lamar)
[Dido:]
Don't wrap it up in gold
Don't hide it behind the sun
Just give it to me as it is
And let it stand
Don't fly it like a kite
Between the clouds
It needs no excuse
Just bring it down
Let eyes that are in pain look upon it
In all its glory
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
For every voice that is lifted
In reverence and pain
Show us now
And let love not be chained
We should feel what we can stand
And let us be alive
So we know
That we've done all we can
Let hearts that are frozen get to see it
In all its glory
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
And let all that is lost be forgotten
And it will pass
So let all that is lost be forgotten
Let us move on
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Like the waters in the open sea
When tribulations come all we can say is hopefully
And yesterday you could probably say there's no hope for me
But today I'm overly dedicated, I'm 'posed to be
A testimony for broken hearts in the city
You either crash landing or planning on flying with me
Misery loves standing behind its company, well
Vividly I can see that your feelings would like to dwell
On our past encounters, reaching over the counter
Told me that it's a appealing to pop a pill, that's a downer
I heard emotions burn deep
I heard when you fall out of love the drop is steep
I heard when you see a thug, that's what you try be
Got these burdens under my wings, but I'm still free
'Cause I can make the decision to let it all go away
Before I ever run astray I'll look you in the eye and say
[Dido:]
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
Blackbird lyrics - Dido
He put the c—
He put the c—
He put the c—
He put the c—
He put the c—
He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up
He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that
He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat
And he put down the key and said, "I won't be needing that"
And he turned and smiled as if that explained it all
And he walked down the hall and he opened the door
And said, "Of course I'll call"
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
Now, there's a black black black bird in my chest
All a flutter and all caged in
Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head
Who tear at every wise thing I should have said
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
We're not the strangers we were when we first met
But the kind of strangers at the end
And all that remains is a day without plans
Where I won't be missed, another handful of sand
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
Heart, why do I bring you love
When you all you give me back is pain?
Heart, why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away?
End Of Night lyrics - Dido
Only now it's gone, I can see the year
See it for what it was and start another day
All the liberty you took, the love that you abused
The friends that you turned against me if you could
And you're twisting what I say, all that saying you were scared
It doesn't matter anymore 'cause I'm not there
You were careless when the beat kicked in and careless when it left
And careless all the way, I didn't see it 'til the end
I feel nothing when you cry
I hear nothing, see no need to reply
I can smile now and turn away
Come over here, so you can see me walk away and celebrate
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
It only takes one lie to bring this house down
Behind closed doors, no one tells the first time 'round
Pain is worse when you bring it on yourself
The sweetest bully building, a love that couldn't last
You were ugly when the beat kicked in and ugly when it left
And ugly all the way, I didn't see it 'til the end
I feel nothing when you cry
I hear nothing, see no need to reply
I can smile now and turn away
Come over here, so you can see me walk away and celebrate
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
After the fall comes love
I hate to hate and love to love
After the fall comes love
I hate to hate and love to love
I feel nothing when you cry
I hear nothing, see no need to reply
I can smile now and turn away
Come over here, so you can see me walk away and celebrate
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night)
The end of night (The end of night, the end of night, the end of night, the end of night)
Sitting On The Roof Of The World lyrics - Dido
I climbed a mountain
Not knowing that I had
Thought it was just a road from a to b
I took no protection
Not much of anything
Just went as I was
Looking in windows
And playing songs
And knocking on doors
I was not scared
I just enjoyed the sights
Kept myself to myself
There I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was, there I was
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
Everyone says I was lucky to have got there
As not many can
Truth be told I was saved
By the love of a good man
Who came and got me and brought me down
From on up there
And I'd be lying if I didn't say I missed it now and then
But I have no wish to go back there
There I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was with all the gods
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
People say
What's so special about being back here
With everyone so close?
That's the point
I don't wanna be different
I just want to fit in
There I was, there I was
Sitting on the roof of the world
There I was with all the gods
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
Not knowing how I got there or how to leave
Love To Blame lyrics - Dido
Helen of Troy was the kind of girl
Who really had it all
Not a care in the world but her head was turned
And forever changed
She said, "One love is lost but another is found
So just take the keys and let's just go, birds fly south."
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
It's all about love
So I'm not to blame
I'm not to blame
She said, "I've dotted my Is and I've crossed my Ts."
Had time for friends when they needed me
I try to make sense of senseless things
Try to live how I believe
And of course I leave things behind that I'll regret
But there's time enough for new things yet, for new things yet
When the dust covers the sun
And all you hope for is undone
Will you turn and say
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
It was all for love
So love is to blame
Love is to blame
Love is to blame
Love is to blame
Love is to blame
Love is to blame
Love is to blame
Love is to blame
When the dust covers the sun
And all you hope for is undone
Will you turn and say
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
It was all for love
So love is to blame
Love is to blame
Go Dreaming lyrics - Dido
Another summer coming to an end
And I'm still walking on without a care
And even if the birds have flown, the sun has gone
I'll still be here, here
Oh, I want to walk with kings
Oh, and take a chance on things
And though I may give way to those who could cause me pain
And step aside to threats and bullies
I still believe, I still believe
I'd rather go dreaming, believing in something better than in me
I'd rather die loving and lost in the feeling of letting go
I'd rather die caring, working for something, seeing it as good
I can let it go, I can let it go
They're all flying flags and making noise
Bringing on their speeches drinks and boys
But when they're gone I'll be standing here
And picking up the mess they left
I still believe, I still believe
I'd rather go dreaming, believing in something, better than in me
I'd rather die loving, lost in the feeling of letting go
I'd rather die caring, working for something, seeing it as good
I can let it go, I can let it go
I'd rather go dreaming, believing in something, better than in me
I'd rather die loving, lost in the feeling of letting go
I'd rather die caring, working for something, seeing it as good
I can let it go, I can let it go
Happy New Year lyrics - Dido
I'll wear the jewels you gave me round my neck tonight
Though I know you won't be there
I'll wear them in a gold chain that catches in the light
Though I know of course you won't appear
And I'll leave the party early after a drink or two
And I'll check my phone for calls
Though I know there will be none
From you, from you
And I'll walk home with snow falling
Deep on frozen lawns
And I'll leave all those others celebrating
All the things that they have done
I'll come over to your office and watch them come and go
Though I know I won't see you there
And I'll take a train down to the coast and sit and watch the sea
I'll be sitting there alone
And as usual, above all things
I'll miss you every day without pause
Happy new year my darling
Happy new year
And I'll walk home with snow falling
Deep on frozen lawns
And I'll leave all those others celebrating
All the things that they have done
Happy new year my darling
Happy new year
And I'll leave
Happy new year my darling
Happy new year
And I'll leave
Happy new year my darling
Happy new year
And I'll leave
Happy new year my darling
Happy new year
And I'll leave
Leave
Loveless Hearts lyrics - Dido
I can find the good news in anything
But without you, that's all gone
No one could have told me how much I'd miss you
And how soon the world moves on
How can they not hear me
When I say
"We're not safe anymore"
Did loveless hearts build the world
Only to tear it apart
How did those gods tempt you to leave
Just when we needed you most
The sun will rise today as it did yesterday
And I'll keep on going too
But every hour that I get through it breaks my heart
That I am losing more of you
Did loveless hearts build the world
Only to tear it apart
How did those gods tempt you to leave
Just when we needed you most
Did loveless hearts build the world
Only to tear it apart
How did those gods tempt you to leave
Just when we needed you most
Day Before We Went To War lyrics - Dido
All the pictures on the wall
The sand lying on the floor
The bed upstairs still unmade
The dust float in the light
The people just left
All laughter and mess
Forgetting this and that
And rushing back
The front door open
The music still playing in one room
Down the hall
Towels on the floor
And then it's quiet
Just the bees and birds
The summer haze
Of the trees
And the air
Feeds it all
Feeds it all
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war
We can all feel it
All the parasols and kids at play
The sea so still and calm
Blue as the cloudless sky
Just the gentle hum
Of the summer's goings on
Broken by the sudden rush
Of two planes
Flying low and fast
Into the sun
Into the sun
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war
We can all feel it
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
We can all feel it
Like a light hand on your back
Welcoming you
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war
The day before we went to war
Let Us Move On (Alternative Version) lyrics - Dido (feat. Kendrick Lamar)
[Dido:]
Don't wrap it up in gold
Don't hide it behind the sun
Just give it to me as it is
And let it stand
Don't fly it like a kite
Between the clouds
It needs no excuse
Just bring it down
Let eyes that are in pain look upon it
In all its glory
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
For every voice that is lifted
In reverence and pain
Show us now
And let love not be chained
We should feel what we can stand
And let us be alive
So we know
That we've done all we can
Let hearts that are frozen get to see it
In all its glory
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
And let all that is lost be forgotten
And it will pass
So let all that is lost be forgotten
Let us move on
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Like the waters in the open sea
When tribulations come all we can say is hopefully
And yesterday you could probably say there's no hope for me
But today I'm overly dedicated, I'm 'posed to be
A testimony for broken hearts in the city
You either crash landing or planning on flying with me
Misery loves standing behind its company, well
Vividly I can see that your feelings would like to dwell
On our past encounters, reaching over the counter
Told me that it's a appealing to pop a pill, that's a downer
I heard emotions burn deep
I heard when you fall out of love the drop is steep
I heard when you see a dove, that's what you try be
Got these burdens under my wings, but I'm still free
'Cause I can make the decision to let it all go away
Before I ever run astray I'll look you in the eye and say
[Dido:]
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short
And it will pass
All I See lyrics - Dido (feat. Pete Miser)
I thought it was done when I packed my bags and walked into the light
I picked the books I thought I should and closed the door behind
And when I handed back the keys, I thought that I was free
No shame, no dirt, no surprises wait for me
I want to believe that where I began is not where I'll always be
But you're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
Thought it was safe to assume once I locked up the room
That I'd be gone for good, but I would be back soon
Memories burned out still I'm smelling the fumes
Melodies turned down still I'm singing the tunes
Like a witch on a broom, I wish I could fly fly away
Disappear into the ether, find a hideaway
But the memories invade when I lie awake
Can't hide from yourself is what I'm trying to say
And by the way, what would I be without my past?
Only find the right number when I doubt my math
Avoid blunders only after I recount my last
Setbacks that don't kill me just amount to laughs
Anyway, if I could turn back the hands of time
Would I change the events or change my mind?
Wouldn't recognise myself without my doubts and fears
Got a feeling all I need is all right here
And you're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
I've been told apples don't fall far from the tree
I hope they're wrong when they're talking about me
All I see are the ruins of a plan gone wrong
All I need is a reason to keep on and stay strong
Gotta couple old ghosts that won't leave me alone
Even after moving three thousand miles from home
Thought I shook 'em when I hit Brooklyn wasn't even looking
But they're putting their mark on everything I do
Find a few quiet moments and they creep back through
Infiltrated my dreams and held my sleep back too
I don't know where I could go without them following me
It seems everywhere I look they're all I see
You're all I need
You're all I need
You're all I see and I carry you with me
You're all I see and I carry you with me
Just Say Yes lyrics - Dido
If by chance, I saw you at first
First time now, 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 when 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
Let's Run Away lyrics - Dido
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 run away
Then tomorrow won't be the same
Let's go away
Then today won't feel the same
And don't look up and don't look left or right
And 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
Oh, let's run away
Then tomorrow, won't be the same
Let's go away (go away)
Then today won't feel the same
Oh, let's run away (run away)
Then tomorrow won't be the same
Let's go away
Then today won't feel the same
Let's run away
Then tomorrow won't feel the same
Won't feel the same
Everything To Lose (Armin Van Buuren Remix) lyrics - Dido
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 loved to be alive, but I was not afraid to die
(I loved 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
I loved to be alive, but I was not afraid to die
I loved to be alive, but I was not afraid to die
Oh, 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 hold, no one to bring down with me
I wouldn't see the worst and it only hurts me
I loved to be alive, but I was not afraid to die
Oh, I've got everything to lose
Oh, since I met you
I've got everything to lose
Since I, since I
I've got everything to lose
Since I, since I
Oh, since I met you
Since I, since I
I've got everything to lose
Oh, since I met you
Since I, since I
I've got everything to lose
Since I
Lost lyrics - Dido
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

Don't Believe In Love lyrics - Dido
I wanna go to bed with arms around me
But wake up on my own
Pretend that I'm still sleeping
'Til you go home
I can't look at you this morning
I should probably have a sign
That says, "Leave right now or quicker"
You've overstayed your time
If I don't believe in love, nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love, nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love, you're too close to me
That's why you have to leave
Maybe I slept peaceful on your shoulder
Your arm warm around my side
But it's different now, it's morning
And I can't face your smile
The second that I feel your safe hands
Reaching out for mine
I slip away and out of sight
You've overstayed your time
If I don't believe in love, nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love, nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love, nothing is new for me
Nothing is warm for me and nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love, nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love, nothing will last for me
When I don't believe in love, nothing is new for me
Nothing is warm for me and nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love, why do you care for me?
When I don't believe in love, nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love, you're getting too close to me
That's why you have to leave, that's why you have to leave
If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love, nothing is left for me
If I don't believe in love, you're too good for me
Quiet Times lyrics - Dido
You ask me where I go tonight, I'll go back to today last year
When me and you had to make each other happy and there was hope with everything
It's hard enough to feel the world as it is and hold on anything
Without these quiet times you've bought 'round here
I'm gonna have to run away, I'm sure that I belong some other place
I've seen another side, of all I've seen it keeps me wonderin' where my family is
It's hard enough to see the world as it is and hold on anything
Without these quiet times comin' 'round here
And I miss you
And I want you
But I can't have you
Even when you're here
I suppose I have to take you with me, broken mind, I'd rather leave you here
To forget everything you've seen and known, erase every idea
When you walk up in the street and hold my hand and smile
Well, I won't be takin' it 'cause I know how it turns out
And it takes me back to these quiet times comin' 'round here
And I miss you
And I want you
You're not coming back
And I need you
But I can't have you
Even when you're here
And I miss you
And I want you
You're not coming back
And I need you
But I can't have you
Even when you're here
Never Want To Say It's Love lyrics - Dido
I could put it down to being tired
Or coming home to an empty house
A passing moment, a little mad
No one around to stop me writing to you
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I could apologize and say tear it up
And put it down to the pills I've taken
Seeing my friends with their lives moved on
While I've been gently drifting
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today as I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow from then on it won't change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
My home is home and I'm settled now
I've made it through the restless phase
I have no reason to get bored anymore
My friends are 'round and your name comes up
Asking if I ever heard from you
I'm keeping it quiet about those words to you
But I meant every word that I said
I stand by every word that I said
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today as I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow from then on it won't change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today as I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow from then on it won't change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
Grafton Street lyrics - Dido
No more trips to Grafton Street
No more going' there
To see you lying still
While we all come and go
No more watching sunsets
That seem like summer's holding on
And no more standing quietly at your window
No more driving down your road
Wondering when you'll be home
And no more peace when they all leave
And leave us two alone
And time we always lose is finally found here with you
My love, I know we're losing but I will stand here by you
No more calling friends from the car saying, "I don't know when
I'll be there but I'll do my best to come."
No more letting you warm my hands
No more trying to take it in
And no more saying, "Goodbye for the last time again"
And no more saying, "Goodbye for the last time again"
And time we always lose is finally found here with you
My love, I know you're leaving but I will stand here by you
No more trips to Grafton Street
No more going' there
No more sitting up all night
Waiting for any word
Nothing's left that's safe here now
Nothing will bring you home
Nothing can bring us the peace
We had in Grafton Street
It Comes And It Goes lyrics - Dido
Some days I want love and some days I don't
Sometimes I can feel it then suddenly it's gone
Some days I can tell you the truth
And some days I just don't
Only a change of mood, sun goes down
Someone says something too quick or too soon
A touch not made, one made too late
Armies of words cannot hope to contain
That it comes and it goes
And I have no control
Some days I can think clear and some days I won't
Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly it's gone
Some days I'm strong
And some days my skin's broken and thin
It arrives when it feels and takes what it needs
And it leaves before I get to know
It's only a step away moments
Then armies of words cannot hope to contain
That it comes and it goes
And I can't make it hold
And there's nothing I own
And it breaks me when it goes
Some days I want love and some days I don't
Sometimes I can feel it then suddenly it's gone
Some days I can tell you the truth
And some days I just don't
Only a change of mood, dream comes out
Someone does something too quick or too soon
A move not made, one made too late
Armies of words cannot hope to contain
That it comes and it goes
And I can't seem to hold
And there's nothing I own
And it breaks me when it goes
Look No Further lyrics - Dido
I might have been a singer
Who sailed around the world
A gambler who wins millions
And spent it all on girls
I might have been a poet
Who walked upon the moon
A scientist who would tell the world
I discovered something new
I might have loved a king
And been the one to end a war
A criminal who drinks champagne
And never could be caught
But among your books
Among your clothes
Among the noise and fuss
I've let it go
I can stop and catch my breath
And look no further for happiness
And I will not turn again
'Cause my heart has found its home
Everyone I'll never meet
And the friends I won't now make
The adventures that there could have been
And the risks I'll never take
But among your books
Among your clothes
Among the noise and fuss
I've let it go
I can stop and catch my breath
And look no further for happiness
And I will not turn again
'Cause my heart has found its home
Us 2 Little Gods lyrics - Dido
Walking home, burnt and red
Sticky thin, he said
Let us go down in the woods
"Can you be careful?" She said
Us two little gods with the world at our feet
Sticky thin, how you've grown they said
You'll never fit in your long white dress
When's he going to try and get a job?
I'm just thankful for what we've got she said
Us two little gods with the world at our feet
Just this life, I need no other
Just this day, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill
Summer's here early again
Let's take the kid, go and celebrate
Drinking beer, moon on the left
And there's the sun, hold my hand he said
Us three little gods with the world at our feet
Just in this day, I need no other
Just this life, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill
Just this life, I need no other
Just this night, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill
Just this life, I need no other
Just this day, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
I've had my fill
The Day Before The Day lyrics - Dido
Speeches won't be made today, clocks will carry on
Flowers won't be left in parks, work will still be done
People won't be dressed in black, babies will be born
No flags will fly, the sun will rise but we will know that you are gone
You who loved to love
And believed we can never give enough
It wakes me every single night thinking through the day
Did you stop at any time, have doubts at any stage?
Or were you calm or were you numb, or happy just to get it done?
I've lived my life without regret until today
And you who loved to love
And believed we can never give enough
I didn't get to say goodbye the day before the day
Was trying to get to work on time that's why I turned away
And missed the most important thing you've ever tried to say
I've lived my life without regret until today
And you who love to love
And believed we can never give enough
And you who hoped that underneath
We all felt the same
That was until the day before the day, the day before the day
The day before the day, oh the day before the day
The day before the day, oh the day before the day
Oh the day before the day, oh the day before the day
Let's Do The Things We Normally Do lyrics - Dido
Let's pretend that we'll be here tomorrow
And I'll try for you to be a little more on time
I know you need to say you know you've let me down
But you haven't and it's hard to talk with people all around
Please don't say how proud you are
Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later, you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to
Let's forget that we're here and make some plans
We'll go for walks sit together on the bench we always sat
I'll tell you every little detail of my day and so will you
But don't try to stay awake, I'm feeling tired too
This is just another day
Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later, you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to
Armored cars and tanks
And guns came to take away our sons
And everybody's stood behind
The man behind the wire there's a fight to love
A fight to have your bed's a battlefield and back
And all of this will just be stripped away
Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later, you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to
Don't look me in the eye more than you need to
Don't try to say goodbye if I don't want to
Don't say how proud you are
And say I'm far away and take along your way
And say a word and I can say fade away
Burnin' Love lyrics - Dido
I found no peace in the lies that I've told
I'm only hurt by the blows that get withheld
Sharper I get cut, the harder I get held
More that I believe that you will come to me
Without you I've been burnin' love, oh
You're the one that I've been callin' for, oh
Without you I've been burnin' love, oh
You're the one that I've been callin' for
I found no peace in the lies that I've told
I'm only hurt by the blows that get withheld
Sharper I get cut, the harder I get held
More that I believe that you will come to me
'Out you I've been burnin' love, woah
You're the one that I've been callin' for
Without you I've been burnin' love, oh
You're the one that I've been callin' for, oh
Without you I've been burnin' love, oh
You're the one that I've been callin' for
Northern Skies lyrics - Dido
I have returned to northern skies
Where summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber grays
Of days too early to come and too hurried to stay
I have left a million stars
And an ocean light and clearly blue
I have left the warmth of the sun
And a million adventures not yet begun
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
I saw trees as green and as dark as blue
I break in poetry the deeper roots
Now I know this is lonely country
And leads me only back to the sea
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
I have returned to northern skies
Where summer hasn't touched the clouds that pass above
I have returned to the somber grays
Days too early to come and too hurried to stay
For once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was beauty here for me
Under the wide northern skies
And once there was magic here for me
Under the wide northern skies
I have returned
I have returned
I have returned
For One Day lyrics - Dido
If I had the chance for just one day with you
One day release from here and all that you go through
Well I'd get you dressed and I'd get you out
And I know you'd be fine as soon as we broke out
So please just for one day I wouldn't talk for you
You'd tell me what to say, you'd show me what to do
And please just for one day I'd see you walk again
And we'd go hand in hand so far we can't go back
I'd do anything I could do for this one more day with you
Away from all these wires and tubes they've stuck on you
And I would buy you an early beer, we'd watch the game
And we'd talk of all friends and of work and heartbreak
You'd ask me who you'd need to kill to make it ok again
But laughing about it'd make it small anyway
So please just for one day I wouldn't guess for you
You'd tell me what you felt and what you want to do
And please just for one day I wouldn't hide from you
You wouldn't see me try keep all of you from you
So please just for one day I wouldn't talk for you
You'd tell me what to say, you'd show me what to do
And please just for one day I'd see you walk again
And we'd go hand in hand so far we can't go back
I won't cry for you, 'cause I will wait until
I have this day with you
Summer lyrics - Dido
We can make it rain again, I'd feel like I belong
Let's make it cold again, I'm not ready and it's wrong
We can put the outdoor chairs back in and lock the door
Go back to walking all heads down and put our coats back on
The summer's come too soon
And I'm still missing you
We can stay at home and draw the blinds and light a fire
Pull the covers high and go to sleep early for hours
Don't want to be too hot and there's no way to cool down
Don't want to sit outside all night or even leave the house
The summer's come too soon
And I'm still missing you
I don't want to sit and drink in parks and watch the sun go down
Don't want to put my feet in water and lie back in the grass
I don't want to watch the plains go by or hold anybody's hand
The summer's come too soon
And I can't come back to you
The summer's come too soon
And I'm still missing you
And if the sun would go down
Stop reminding us how
If we ever had a chance
I don't by now
And if the sun would go down
Stop reminding me how
If we ever had a chance
I don't by now
I don't by now
White Flag lyrics - 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
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
I know I left too much mess and destruction
To come back again
And I caused 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
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 there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on
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 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 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
Stoned lyrics - Dido
When you're stoned, baby, and I am drunk
And we make love, it seems a little desolate
It's hard sometimes not to look away
And think what's the point when I'm having to hold this fire down
I think I'll explode if I can't feel this free now
If you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you
Instead, you will be missing me when I go
'Cause I'm bored of hanging out in your cold
When I feel loved, baby, I join the road
And the world moves with me
When I feel lost I just slip away
Silently, quietly take my things and go
And think what's the point, think where's the hope we're coming home
'Cause if you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you
Instead, you will be missing me when I go
'Cause I'm bored of hanging out in your cold
And if you find one day
Find some freedom and relief
With this freedom maybe
Maybe you will find some peace
And with this peace baby
I hope it brings you back to me
Bring you home, take me home
'Cause if you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you
Instead, you will be missing me when I go
'Cause I'm bored of hanging out in your cold
Oh, take me home
Oh, take me home
When you're stoned, baby, take me home
Oh
Life For Rent lyrics - Dido
I haven't ever really found a place that I call 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 exactly 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
'Cause nothing I have is truly mine
I've 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
'Cause there's really nothing left here to stop me
It's just a thought, only a thought
If my life is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
'Cause 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
'Cause nothing 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?
If my life is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
'Cause 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
'Cause nothing I have is truly mine
'Cause nothing I have is truly mine
'Cause nothing I have is truly mine
'Cause nothing I have is truly mine
Mary's In India lyrics - Mary's In India
Danny is lonely 'cause Mary's in India now
She said she'd call but that was three weeks ago
She left all her things well, her books and her letters from him
And as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him
Just dance, and just drink and just see the things
I'll probably never get a chance to see
Danny's not eating, he's drinking and sleeping in
I saw him last night at a party, he's definitely thin
He says he's happy, he looked pretty good but I think
That as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him
And just dance, and just drink and just see the things
I'll probably never get a chance to see
Danny came over last night and I cooked for him
We talked about you Mary and how much we loved you still
He told me he's packed up your books and your letters and things
And as the sun sets on Mary, it's rising on him
And we danced and we drank and I've seen some things
You probably never got a chance to see
Don't worry Mary, 'cause I'm taking care of Danny
And he's taking care of me
See You When You're 40 lyrics - Dido
I've driven 'round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance
'Cause I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for
But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about
You think you are complicated, deep mystery to all
Well, it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
All energy, no meaning with a lot of words
So paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down
And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind
So see you when you're 40, lost and all alone
Being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
Not sad because you lost me
But sad because you thought it was cool to be sad
You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd
Well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
Now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time?
And I'll be on my way, and I won't be back
'Cause I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about
You're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back
And I'm not coming back
What I'd been warned about
Don't Leave Home lyrics - Dido
Like a ghost don't need a key
Your best friend I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak
When I've been here for just one day
You'll already miss me if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore
Oh, don't leave home
Oh, don't leave home
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're low, just hold on
'Cause I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home
And I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker, like a child
Now all your love you give to me
When your heart is all I need
Oh, don't leave home
Oh, don't leave home
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're low, just hold on
'Cause I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home
Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear, everything is new
So you won't be leaving, will you?
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're low, just hold on
'Cause I will be your safety
And I will be your safety
And I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home
Who Makes You Feel lyrics - Dido
I don't touch you the way I used to
And I don't call and write when I'm away
We don't make love as often as we did do
What couldn't wait now waits and usually goes away
But listen and think when I say
Oh, but listen and think when I say
Who makes you feel the way I make you feel?
Who loves you and knows you the way I do?
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do?
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
I don't mind if you come home late
And I don't ever ask you where you've been
I just assume if there's a problem, you'd tell me
But listen and think when I say
Oh, but listen and think when I say
Who makes you feel the way I make you feel?
Who loves you and knows you the way I do?
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do?
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
Being weak, when I am strong
Being seen for who you are
Being sad and lost but not alone
But listen and think when I say
Oh, but listen and think when I say
Who makes you feel the way I make you feel?
Who loves you and knows you the way I do?
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do?
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
Who makes you feel the way I make you feel?
Who loves you and knows you the way I do?
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do?
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?
Sand In My Shoes lyrics - Dido
Two weeks away, feels like the whole world should have changed
But I'm home now and things still look the same
I think I'll leave it 'til tomorrow to unpack
Try to forget for one more night that I'm back in my flat
On the road where the cars never stop
Going through the night
To a life where I can't watch the sunset
I don't have time, I don't have time
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to?
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused
But I wanna see you again
Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity
Should run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that I was happy here before
I knew that I could get on a plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop
Going through the night
To a life where I can watch the sunset
And take my time, take all our time
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to?
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused
But I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
Two weeks away, all it takes
To change and turn me around I've fallen
I walked away and never said
That I wanted to see you again
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to?
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused
But I wanna see you again
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to?
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused
But I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again
Do You Have A Little Time lyrics - Dido
If you are feeling low and lost today
You're probably doing too much again
You spend all your hours just rushing around
Do you have a little time?
Do you have a little time for me?
Slow down my love, you're confusing me
And if you're feeling stressed, just try calling
You spend your time waiting for anyone to see
Do you have a little time?
Do you have a little time for me?
If you should stop for a while
You'll find me standing by
Over here at the side of your life
I'd like to hold you still
Remind you of what you've missed
If you have a little time
If you have a little time, that is
Why do you still run when you could walk with me?
Life will pass you by when you move this quickly
Why can you see when you're spinning around?
Do you have a little time?
Do you have a little time for me?
If you should stop for a while
You'll find me standing by
Over here at the side of your life
I'd like to hold you still
Remind you of what you've missed
If you have a little time
If you have a little time, that is
If you let me listen I'll make you feel clear
You spend your time waiting for anyone to say
If you should stop for a while
You'll find me standing by
Over here at the side of your life
I'd like to hold you still
Remind you of what you've missed
If you have a little time
If you have a little time, that is
If you should stop for a while
You'll find me standing by
Over here at the side of your life
I'd like to hold you still
Remind you of what you've missed
If you have a little time
If you have a little time, that is
