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
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
