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

Told me that it's a appealing to pop a pill, that's a downer

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

This Land Is Mine lyrics - Dido

From behind these walls I hear your song, oh sweet words

The music that you play lights up my world

The sweetest that I've heard

Could it be that I've been touched and turned? Oh Lord, please

Finally, finally things are changing

This land is mine but I'll let you rule

I'll let you navigate and demand

Just as long as you know, this land is mine

So find your home and settle in

Oh, I'm ready to let you in

Just as long as we know, this land is mine

After all the battles and the wars, the scars and loss

Well, I'm still the queen of my domain

And feeling stronger now

The walls are down a little more each day, since you came

Finally, finally things are changing

This land is mine but I'll let you rule

I'll let you navigate and demand

Just as long as you know, this land is mine

So find your home and settle in

Oh, I'm ready to let you in

Just as long as we know, this land is mine

Follow the days I've traveled alone

In this cold and colorless place till now

It's what I had to pay

This land is mine but I'll let you rule

I'll let you navigate and demand

Just as long as you know, this land is mine

So find your home and settle in

Oh, I'm ready to let you in

Just as long as we know, this land is mine

This land is mine but I'll let you rule

I'll let you navigate and demand

Just as long as you know, this land is mine

See The Sun lyrics - Dido

I'm coming 'round to open the blinds

You can't hide here any longer

My God you need to rinse those puffy eyes

You can't lie still any longer

And yes they'll ask where you've been

And you'll have to tell them, again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day

But I promise you you'll see the sun again

And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness

And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Come on take my hand

We're going for a walk, I know you can

You can wear anything, as long as it's not black

And please don't mourn forever, she's not coming back

And yes they'll ask where you've been

And you'll have to tell them, again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day

But I promise you you'll see the sun again

And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness

And I promise you you'll see the sun again

And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Do you remember telling me you'd found the sweetest thing of all

You said that one day of this was worth dying for

So be thankful you knew her at all

But it's no more

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day

But I promise you you'll see the sun again

And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness

And I promise you you'll see the sun again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day

But I promise you you'll see the sun again

And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness

And I promise you you'll see the sun again

And I promise you you'll see the sun again

I promise you you'll see the sun again

See the sun again

See the sun again

See the sun again

See the sun again

See the sun again

See the sun again

See the sun again

See the sun again

Closer lyrics - Dido

So leave your taxi waiting

And turn and close my door

And sit back down where you were sitting

A little closer than before

And when you look that serious

It just makes me want you more

And I've been meaning to tell you

The closer you get, the better I feel

The closer you are, the more I see

Why everyone says that I look happier

When you're around

The closer you get, the better I feel

And yes I know you're nervous

Never seen you so unsure

You haven't touched your food tonight

And you're drinking more and more

And there's no need to hurry

Take your time I'll still be here

And I've been meaning to tell you

The closer you get, the better I feel

The closer you are, the more I see

Why everyone says that I look happier

When you're around the better I feel

The closer you get, the better you see

The closer you are, the more I see

Why everyone says that I look happier

When you're around

The closer you get, the better I feel

The better I feel

We've been circling for time baby

We're coming down to land tonight

The wait is over and now it's easy

Everything's fine

The closer you get, the better I feel

The closer you are, the more I see

Why everyone says that I look happier

When you're around, the better I feel

The closer you get, the better you see

The closer you are, the more I see

Why everyone says that I look happier

When you're around

The closer you get, the better I feel

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
