"Something Worth Saving" (2016)

She Sets The City On Fire lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten
And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause New York sky don't get much brighter
She sets, she sets the city on fire

Somebody told me if I'm not careful
Well, this one's gonna roll me
I got my hands full and this one's gonna own me and control me
I'm so mystified
She caught the last train last night, left another note
Saying "see you next time; miss me if you don't"
You look good in your bed; til we meet again
You went through my head and nobody told me so

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten
And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause New York sky don't get much brighter
She sets, she sets the city on fire
She sets the city on fire
Burns like a million lighters
I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher
She sets, she sets the city on fire

New scene, next block
She'll be jaywalking right across while the cops talk
Make you feel like a boss when your eyes lock
And you can't stop staring endlessly
She got the whole thing figured out; hits me where it hurts
And I know I might be swinging at a curve
I don't mind it, though, when the lights are low
She can hit the notes wearing my T-shirt

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten
And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause New York sky don't get much brighter
She sets, she sets the city on fire
She sets the city on fire
Burns like a million lighters
I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher
She sets, she sets the city on fire

But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts
Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter
Again and again, I was lucky just to find her
But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts
Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter
Again and again, I was lucky

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten
And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause New York sky don't get much brighter
She sets, she sets the city on fire
She sets the city on fire
Burns like a million lighters
I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher
She sets, she sets the city on fire

I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher
She sets, she sets the city on fire

You Make My Heart Sing Louder lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I can hear it coming, feel it inside my bones
Oh, take me now, to the lake of fire
All of the hearts I have broken, hard as a rolling stone
Oh, it comes around, when you're out of time

This town I left for dead,
heart stopped, I had reached the end
That's when you raised my head
And led me into the light
Walked me to the waterfall,
slowly you removed it all
Set free my well and wall
you brought me back to life

'Cause you make my heart sing louder, high as the Eiffel Tower
And in the midnight hour, you give my love that power

When you would take me over, show me I'm not alone
You say that needing help, don't mean you not strong
Soon as the sky is falling and all that I had is gone
Oh, I fear no hell since you came along

This town I left for dead,
heart stopped, I had reached the end
That's when you raised my head
And led me into the light
Hey, walked me to the waterfall,
slowly you removed it all
Set free my well and wall
you brought me back to life

'Cause you make my heart sing louder, high as the Eiffel Tower
And in the midnight hour, you give my love that power

You're lifting me up and setting me free
Showing me something I could believe
Giving me hope you know that I need
And I am blinded, by it
Open my heart I gave you my soul
Gave you permission, gave you control
Show me the world that I didn't know
Let me inside it, inside it

'Cause you make my heart sing louder, high as the Eiffel Tower
And in the midnight hour, you give my love that power

Na, na na, na
Na, na na, na
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Na, na na, na
Na na na, na

Kite Like Girl lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Some girls want bright diamonds
Some girls wanna stick like glue
Not her, no, she's a little different
She ain't into things everybody seems to lose
This girl's got her own reputation
Everybody's got somethin' to prove
She said "Don't you know what I'm thinkin'?
A little bit of me and a whole lot of you"

So free, you know what i mean
Somethings you just can't keep

She might take her coat off
Tell you that she's gonna stay, yeah
Lay you down and float off
She's a kite like girl, you gotta let her fly away, hey
Let her fly away
She's a kite like girl, you gotta let her fly away, hey

She's as light as a feather
But she'll kick off of her cloud
Got nothin' to do with the weather
When you're wakin' up alone and she's nowhere to be found
We all wanna live in the moment
Always talkin' 'bout the here and the now
New bucks sellin' old religion
She's still the only one knowin' what I talk about

So free, you know what i mean
Somethings you just can't keep

She might take her coat off
Tell you that she's gonna stay, yeah
Lay you down and float off
She's a kite like girl, you gotta let her fly away, hey
Let her fly away
She's a kite like girl, you gotta let her fly away, hey

And if she takes you to the top, don't look down
This girl is not that innocent
And if she's lettin' you drop, there'll be no sound
She'll be playin' your heart, are you listenin'?

She might take her coat off
Tell you that she's gonna stay, yeah
Lay you down and float off
She's a kite like girl, you gotta let her fly away, hey
Let her fly away, yeah
She's a kite like girl

With a kite like girl, you gotta let her fly away

Making Love With The Radio On lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I tried giving up
Walked through quite enough
Had to call it a day
From an ex who showed up falling to
Grand piano falling on the edge of the parkway
Got no good advice
Hotline called me twice
Said, "I went through the wall
Do you have a quote to lend me
Or a friend to send me?"
But I got no help at all

So I loosened my lips
And let a little prayer I memorized
Do what I just wished
And suddenly, to my surprise

Oh, DJ, when you play my song
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
At the risk of this coming out wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on
Oh, every time I hear that jam
Grabbed my baby right by her hand
Even if my day was going all wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

Snatched my medicine
Light it like Edison
Turned it right up to the sky
You're my absolutely fictional
Pure perfection
My Venetian boat ride
Blown out speakers
And worn out tweeters
And still I get the effect
If you got my go-to living
[?] me in the spirit
Even if I'm a complete wreck

Don't you call it a flaw
Everybody needs some a peace of mind
It should be the law
To take a little private time

Oh, DJ, when you play my song
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
At the risk of this coming out wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on
Oh, every time I hear that jam
Grabbed my baby right by her hand
Even if my day was going all wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

I want to feel like this, so hold me forever
Emotions are real like this and flow like a river
And you are the only one

Oh, DJ, when you play my song
Make me feel bigger than an old King Kong
At the risk of this coming out wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

Oh, every time I hear that sound
Engine running and I'm homeward bound
Even if my day was going all wrong
Feel like making love with the radio on

With the radio, with the radio
Feel like making love with the radio on
With the radio, with the radio
Feel like making love with the radio on
With the radio, with the radio
With the radio on
With the radio, with the radio

Harder To Believe lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Back of your house, back of your neck
Goodbye to the innocence
I said, "Goodbye, I have no regrets
We're just living on a dream"

Headstrong and a sugars tough
I got beat down and I drank too much
Got run over at the 911,
but I, I'm still alive

To tell you the truth,
I can't remember all the details
The hell I walked through,
left me shirtless in the night

You only see what I reveal
My clothes, my phone, my home, my automobile
Just take my word, you wouldn't think
But there's more to my story, that you can't dream
I could let the words just fall out while you're listening to me
But the truth just makes it harder to believe

Letting me in, leading me on
Who knows where it's coming from
One go and it's just begun,
but I, I'm closing in

To tell you the truth,
I can't remember all the details
The hell I walked through,
left me shirtless in the night

You only see what I reveal
My clothes, my phone, my home, my automobile
Just take my word, you wouldn't think
But there's more to my story, that you can't dream
I could let the words just fall out while you're listening to me
But the truth just makes it harder to believe

I wanted it so bad, more than I could really say
Nothing got in my way, oh woah, oh woah
But only you get there, you're waiting for the shoe to drop
All I'm saying is I just couldn't stop

Let it fall out
You only see what I reveal
My clothes, my phone, my home, my automobile, yeah
Just take my word, you wouldn't think
But there's more to my story, that you can't dream
I could let the words just fall out while you're listening to me
Said I'll let the words just fall out, while you're listening to me
But the truth just makes it harder to believe

Say I Am lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

One way, one way to the center of your heart
Slow down, the world is too loud and this loneliness too hard
We should let it out, just to be closer
Well, I need you now, over and over

We could stay up in the Sunday room
As we share these words unspoken
When you ask me if I'm in love with you
I would say you must be joking
I would say I, I would say I am

Slowly, show me what you hold and what you hide
Tell me that you really believe and I'll see it in your eyes
But when you've hurt so much, you're scared to get closer
You can let it out, over and over

We could stay up in the Sunday room
As we share these words unspoken
When you ask me if I'm in love with you
I would say you must be joking
I would say I, I would say I am

I could show you the river, we'll wash in the water
Give me your faith, there's so many waves

We could stay up in the Sunday room
As we share these words unspoken
When you ask me if I'm in love with you
I would say you must be joking
I would say I, I would say I am
I would say I am
I could show you the river, we could wash in the water

How Lucky Can A Man Get lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I want you to love me like the first time, yeah
I want you to love me like the sun shines, yeah
Girl, Imma make you feel good
Love you like a red blooded man should
Girl, I wanna love you like the first time

Listen I just wanna tell ya
You got the kiss that I wanna taste
And when we walk by the people all say
How lucky can a man get?
I wanna rock, I wanna roll
God help me, yeah, you save my soul
When you touch me I go losin' control
How lucky can a man get?
Straight to the top
Pot full of gold
Like honey dripping nice and slow
Sweet sugar she's my miracle
How lucky can a man get?

I want you to love me like the first time, yeah
Really keep me guessin' till I, till I cross the line
I take you back to my roots
Kiss you while I'm singin' "Blue Suede Shoes"
Girl, I wanna love you like the first time, oh!

Listen I just wanna tell ya
You got the lips that I wanna taste
And when we walk by the people all say
How lucky can a man get?
I wanna rock, I wanna roll
God help me, yeah, you save my soul
When you touch me I go losin' control
How lucky can a man get?
Straight to the top
Pot full of gold
Like honey dripping nice and slow
Sweet sugar she's my miracle
How lucky can a man get?

In the name of all the love you give me
You're the one to bring out somethin' in me
Shine your light on all the things we could be
We could be
We could be
(Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)

I wanna rock, I wanna roll (I wanna rock)
God help me, yeah, you save my soul (save my soul)
When you touch me I go losin' control (ooh-hoo)
How lucky can a man get? (can a man get)
Straight to the top
Pot full of gold (oh, straight to the top)
Like honey dripping nice and slow
Sweet sugar she's my miracle (what)
How lucky can a man get? (can a man get)
How lucky can a man get?
How lucky can a man get?
How lucky can a man get?
How lucky can a man get?
How lucky can a man get?
(Can a man get, can a man get, can a man get, can a man get?)

New Love lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I thought that you were over with it, told me it was time to quit it
Now you're saying you regret it (just a little late)
So listen I was really in love, then I went and found a new drug
Something that was legal enough (just a little late)

One more time I tell you so you know that this is real
One more time I tell you so you know just how I feel
I'll fill you in:

I got a new love, oh what a face, holding it down, she's running the place
I got a new love, talk of the town, I, I, I said it now
I got a new love, just couldn't wait, all of my friends are calling it fate
I got a new love, you might've met, I, I, I'm saying it

You make me feel like going insane, call me every curse you can name
Now you wanting back in the game (just a little late)
Some people never learn how to cope, think everything will come that they hope
Sorry, but the answer is no (just a little late)

One more time I tell you so you know that this is real
One more time I tell you so you know just how I feel
I'll fill you in:

I got a new love, oh what a face, holding it down, she is running the place
I got a new love, talk of the town, I, I, I said it now
I got a new love, just couldn't wait, all of my friends are calling it fate
I got a new love, you might've met, I, I, I'm saying it

No longer need to know, that means no
(Need to know, that means no)
So you don't need to know, need to know
(No you don't)
But you keep asking me, begging me
(Yea, you're asking me, but you're begging me)
Baby please
Be careful what you wish for, this'll only hurt you more

I got a new love, oh what a face, holding it down, she is running the place
I got a new love, talk of the town, I, I, I said it now
I got a new love, just couldn't wait, all of my friends are calling it fate
I got a new love, you might've met, I, I, I'm saying it

I got a new love, you might've met, I, I, I'm saying it

Annalee lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

You fire it up
Dancing around
Knocking back
Knocking down you go all night
All night
Blow em away
Pourin it on
Laugh at the jokes
Sing a few songs you know all right
All right

Gettin all, gettin all, gettin all their attention
Now you're takin em, takin em, takin em for a ride
All right

Oh Annalee, Annalee
Don't you know I'm on to you?
Your eyes are bright as chandeliers
But I see the truth
Your mystery, Annalee
Got them falling from the roof
Hypnotized and paralyzed but
That's nothing new
Annalee, you know that
I'm onto you

Fresh out of jail
Left Santa Fe
Making your rounds out in LA, look at you now, oh wow
They're buying you rings
Giving you cars
It's never enough, you turn their hearts all inside out, side out

Getting all, gettin all, gettin all their attention
Takin em, takin em, takin em for a ride
Every time

Oh Annalee, Annalee
Don't you know I'm on to you?
Your eyes are bright as chandeliers
But I see the truth
Your mystery, Annalee
Got them falling from the roof
Hypnotized and paralyzed but
That's nothing new
Annalee, you know that
I'm onto you

It started with a white lie
You thought it was a good time
Now they got the fever
Oh beep bop ba lulah
Now everybody wants you
But I'm looking right through
And I want to tell you
Get yourself together girl cause nothing lasts forever

Oh Annalee, Annalee
Don't you know I'm on to you?
Your eyes are bright as chandeliers
But I see the truth
Your mystery, Annalee
Got them falling from the roof
Hypnotized and paralyzed but
That's nothing new

Annalee, Annalee...
Annalee, you know that
I'm onto you

Something Worth Saving lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Sometimes
When I lie awake at night
I think about how far we made it together
We were wild
I knew we would always be
Maybe it's all part of finding our heaven

Even if it breaks your heart
Even if it tears your world apart
Still you keep holding on
If something's worth saving
All of our hopes and fears
They may get tangled but love's sincere
So we keep holding on
To something worth saving
Even if it breaks your heart

My hopes
They only align with yours
They're only as big as we both aim to make them
For love
If I had a thousand lives
I'd find you a thousand times
You know I'd come back again

Even if it breaks your heart
Even if it tears your world apart
Still you keep holding on
If something's worth saving
All of our hopes and fears
They may get tangled but love's sincere
So we keep holding on
To something worth saving
Even if it breaks your heart

How good it could be
I knew it would be somehow
And I know now that it is
Who could imagine
With all that's happened
The names, the fights, the insanely long nights
And I'm standing on top of the world
Yeah
And when the dust settles
You're standing right with me 'cause

Even if it breaks your heart
Even if it tears your world apart
Still you keep holding on
If something's worth saving
All of our hopes and fears
They may get tangled but love's sincere
So we keep holding on
To something worth saving
Even if it breaks your heart

Technicolor lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Rose colored lenses
Had their intentions lost on me
Love's an illusion
That was my whole philosophy

They say we're creatures of habit
They say people never change
But you rubbed up on my static
Lit a spark and then a flame
Like a disco ball that's spinning
Every time you're in the room
No one shines the way you do

When I laid eyes on you
Everything came to life
Before you
I was all black and white
Now I might never recover
Ever since I met you girl I'm seeing technicolor

Blindsided by you
I wanna buy you everything
I even tried to
Then you replied
Let's start with drinks

So I ordered up a vodka
Something simple something clear
You got something from the tropics
Pink umbrella up to here
You said what's the point of living
If you don't do it in style
I want you to show me how

When I laid eyes on you
Everything came to life
Before you
I was all black and white
Now I might never recover
Ever since I met you girl I'm seeing technicolor

So bright I think I'm about to freak
That's why I'm hiding behind these cheap
Sunglasses, ain't even summer
Ever since I met you girl I'm seeing
Technicolor

Somewhere
In the winds of your air
I wish that I could go to sleep
And never leave
Why don't you meet
Why don't you meet me there

Eyes on you everything came to life
Before you
I was all black and white
Now I might never recover
Ever since I met you girl I'm seeing technicolor
Yeah

So bright I think I'm about to freak
That's why I'm hiding behind these cheap sunglasses, ain't even summer
Ever since I met you girl I'm seeing
Technicolor

Technicolor
Technicolor
Technicolor

Yeah every since I met you girl I'm seeing technicolor

"Make A Move" (2013)

Best I Ever Had lyrics - Gavin DeGraw


Melt Antarctica, savin’ Africa
I failed algebra and I miss you sometimes
We’re at war again, save the world again
You can all join in, but you can’t smoke inside

You said, “Take me home, I can’t stand this place
‘Cause there’s too many hipsters and I just can’t relate.”
You’re my neon gypsy, my desert rain
You’re my “Helter Skelter”, oh how can I explain that

You’re the best I ever had
And I’m trying not to get stuck in my head
But I've read that soda kills you and Jesus saves
On a bathroom wall where I saw your name
You’re the best I ever had
I won’t be the same

Night sky full of drones, this neighborhood of clones
I’m looking at the crowd and they’re staring at their phones
They groom the coast line here, the sun will disappear (oh, God!)
And maybe once a year I think to clean my car

Caught my reflection, dropped the call
I’ve been medicating with cigarettes and alcohol
I got vertigo, no I can’t see straight
I got obligations though I’m usually late but

You’re the best I ever had
And I’m trying not to get stuck in my head
But I think I dropped my wallet in Santa Fe
Lost the only picture I had of you that day and
You’re the best I ever had
I won’t be the same

Hey West Virginia, Hey North Dakota
I think I love you, but don’t even know you
Hey Massachusetts, Hey Minnesota
I think I love you, but don’t even know you
Hey Carolina, Hey Oklahoma
I think I love you, but don’t even know you
Hey Alabama, Hey California
I think I love you, but don’t even know you

You’re the best I ever had (you’re the best I ever had)
And I’m trying not to get stuck in my head (not to get stuck in my head)
But I passed a lonely sign on the interstate
Saying, “Find someone 'fore it gets too late!”
You’re the best I ever had (you’re the best I ever had)
I won’t be the same

Hey West Virginia, Hey North Dakota (Oh why, oh why)
I think I love you, but don’t even know you (I won’t be the same)
Hey Massachusetts, Hey Minnesota (you’re the best I ever had)
I think I love you, but don’t even know you (I won’t be the same)

Yeah, I won’t be the same

Make A Move lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Hey, from the first time that I asked your name
It's like a drug that went straight to the vein
I feel a high coming on, and it's all because of you

We, could get it going like one, two
Freeze, put up your hands and surrender to me
I know I'm easy to read, and it's all because of you

I don't care where we sleep tonight
I don't care if it's in or outside
You know what to do
Make a move

You could throw away your phone
Make believe that we're all alone
I'm talking to you
Make a move, 'cause I'm ready

I've been thinking about something you once said
That life is short, so let go of regrets
So then I take your advice, and I bet it all on you

Now, you're giving sexy a whole new name
Yeah what I'm feeling is hard to explain
I'm thinking we're overdue, and I bet it all on you

I don't care where we sleep tonight
I don't care if it's in or outside
You know what to do
Make a move

You could throw away your phone
Make believe that we're all alone
I'm talking to you
Make a move, 'cause I'm ready

I'm aware of what you've gone through
Not afraid to say I've fallen for you
If you need someone to talk to
I've got the time

I don't care where we sleep tonight
I don't care if it's in or outside
You know what to do
Make a move

You could throw away your phone
Make believe that we're all alone
I'm talking to you
Make a move, 'cause I'm ready

Finest Hour lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Got a text from you
Is it really true?
All the stuff we did last night
We shut down the bars
Danced on top of cars
Asked some girl if she’d be my wife

Oh, and I got pictures that I don’t remember taking that are so bad
And, oh, I had to break into my own damn apartment
How bout that?

They say the best always come from the worst nights baby, but
Oh, it was crazy
And, oh, it was amazing
We blew all our money
And crashed in your Mercedes
Yeah, we both got numbers
But didn’t get the names
And my whole damn party lost power
It was, it was, it was our finest hour

Bruises on my knee
They’re all over me
Think I mighta lost a fight
Found a drink receipt
From 42nd street
Man, we musta lost our minds
I got pictures that I don’t remember taking that are so bad
I think I mighta fell asleep in the subway
How bout that?

They say the best always come from the worst nights baby, but
Oh, it was crazy
And, oh, it was amazing
We blew all our money
And crashed in your Mercedes
Yeah, we both got numbers
But didn’t get the names
And my whole damn party lost power
It was, it was, it was our finest hour

This night was ours
This night was ours
And it was our finest hour

This night was ours
This night was ours
And it was our finest hour

Got a text from you
Is it really true?
All the stuff we did last night

Oh, it was crazy
And, oh, it was amazing
We blew all our money
And crashed in your Mercedes
Yeah, we both got numbers
But didn’t get the names
And my whole damn party lost power
It was, it was, it was our finest hour, our finest hour
It was our finest hour
This night was ours
This night was ours
And it was our finest hour

I'm Gonna Try lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I’m gonna try
Try like a mother, I’ll make this one come around
Sing all through the night
Shaking the shutters, I know she’ll be coming down
Hear the neighbors calling out names, Well I can't put up with that
So I’m gonna try
Try til I get it back

You don’t know what she means to me
My reality and my fantasy
On the wave of confidence and gin
Like a hurricane, I come crashing in

But oh, man this thing is moving too slow
Damn I think I’m losing control
‘Cause I just took a flight
To make it here tonight to say that I

I’m gonna try
Try like a mother, I’ll make this one come around
Sing all through the night
Shaking the shutters, I know she’ll be coming down
Hear the neighbors calling out names, well I can’t put up with that
So I’m gonna try
Try til I get it back

Listen, I’mma tell you once
From an honest guy, who has screwed it up
Celebrate the one you’re with
A little take and give, never hurt no one

But oh, now I’m standing out in the cold
Trying to find the heart that got stole
‘Cause I just took a flight
To make it here tonight to say that I

I’m gonna try
Try like a mother, I’ll make this one come around
Sing all through the night
Shaking the shutters, I know she’ll be coming down
Hear the neighbors calling out names, well I can’t put up with that
So I’m gonna try
Try til I get it back

If she placed a badge
Oh no
The chances that your wasting until then
Would you, stand it?

I’m gonna try
Try like a mother, I’ll make this one come around
Sing all through the night
Shaking the shutters, I know she’ll be coming down

I’m gonna try
Try like a mother, I’ll make this one come around
Sing all through the night
Shaking the shutters, I know she’ll be coming down
Hear the neighbors calling out names, well I can’t put up with that
So I’m gonna try
Try til I get it back

Who's Gonna Save Us lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I know you got a wild side,
That I don't wanna hold back
And everyone I ever had,
Was just the means to an end
Now we're standing at the edge,
We've never been here before
So are we gonna give in?
What happens if we fall?

Who's gonna save,
Who's gonna save us tonight, tonight?
Who's gonna save,
Who's gonna save us tonight, tonight?
We've been way too cool for this
But it's just too strong to fight
So tell me who's gonna save,
Who's gonna save us tonight?

Politics and presidents–
It's like they're building a wall.
I got my own line of defense,
Somehow you broke through it all.
At the bottom of an empty bottle,
Is where the truth starts to spill.
Don't wanna wake up with regret,
From this feeling we can't kill.

Who's gonna save,
Who's gonna save us tonight, tonight?
Who's gonna save,
Who's gonna save us tonight, tonight?
We've been way too cool for this
But it's just too strong to fight
So tell me who's gonna save,
Who's gonna save us tonight?

See and believe
You're making me breathe deeper than the ocean
Beside us, who can we call?
We're risking what we have
For something more, don't wanna lose it all

Who's gonna save,
Who's gonna save us tonight, tonight?
Who's gonna save,
Who's gonna save us tonight, tonight?
We've been way too cool for this.
Were these words too strong to fight?
Should we stop, should we wait before it's too late?
Should we stop, should we wait before it's too late?
Tell me who's gonna save,
Who's gonna save us tonight?

Everything Will Change lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Take those boots off the shelf
Wipe that dust off yourself
Even if you’ve been through hell; you’re back
It’s time to separate the men from the boys
And the women from the girls
And the tools from the toys
Even if you’re freaking out: just relax

Hey, before it gets too late
Before the night is over, before the world’s awake
Everything will change
Hey, I feel it coming on
Starting like a fire, tonight you lit the flame
Now everything will change

Back when it used to hurt
Took you a little while just to find the worth
Losing, well, it sometimes burns, but you keep moving on
You’ve got to push on like you’re leading the nation
Got to make the best out of this situation
Get your hands up like it’s a celebration
And you keep moving on

Singing hey, before it gets too late
Before the night is over, before the world’s awake
Everything will change
Hey, I feel it coming on
Starting like a fire, tonight you lit the flame
Now everything will change

(oh)
Now everything will change
(oh)
Everything will change
(you can talk the talk-talk, but you can’t walk the walk-walk)

Take those boots off the shelf
Wipe that dust off yourself
Even if you’ve been through hell; you’re back

Hey, before it gets too late
Before the night is over, before the world’s awake
Everything will change
Hey, I feel it coming on
Starting like a fire, tonight you lit the flame
Now everything will change

It’ll change
(you can talk the talk-talk, but you can’t walk the walk-walk)
You won't know If you don’t try
(you can talk the talk-talk, but you can’t walk the walk-walk)
It’ll change
(you can talk the talk-talk, but you can’t walk the walk-walk)

Everything changes
Life happens in stages
You won't have your story
Without turning pages yeah

Need lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

He tells lies, you slam doors
You think twice, oh oh oh oh
He makes plans, you change yours
Two damn nights, oh oh oh oh
But you got this secret you keep
Like the looks that you steal from me
Say you just don’t know, what you need
What you need

But baby when you wake up in the middle of the night
With your makeup running rivers from your eyes
You will see, what you need
Baby when you wake up cause your bed is feeling cold
And you reach out cause you want someone to hold
You will see, what you need

I’m past him, don’t fear him
Better than oh oh oh oh
So don’t waste time
Yours and mine
Girl what you need is a better man
And you got this secret you keep
Like the looks that you steal from me
Say you just don’t know what you need
What you need

But baby when you wake up in the middle of the night
With your makeup running rivers from your eyes
You will see, what you need
Baby when you wake up cause your bed is feeling cold
And you reach out cause you want someone to hold
You will see, what you need

What you need
What you need
What you need [2x]

When you wake up in the middle of the night
With your makeup running rivers from your eyes
You will see, what you need
Baby when you wake up cause your bed is feeling cold
And you reach out cause you want someone to hold
You will see, what you need

What you need [3x]

But baby when you wake up in the middle of the night
With your makeup running rivers from your eyes
You’ll see, what you need
What you need

Heartbreak lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Night
It’s at night, whoa
That’s the time I get the call
And I
Would smile for
Just because I turn you on

You wasted ticking, ticking time
We didn't make it but we tried
And baby that’s okay
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And now we’re talking about your only
Calling me up because you’re lonely
In the middle of the night
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Heartbreak isn't what it used to be
Now it’s a bedtime story, not a tragedy
I got the silver lining on a cloud like that
You let it rain so we won’t come back
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Heartbreak ouuuuuuu

Drink
When you drink, whoa
Maybe you should hide the phone
At least
Try to think, whoa
Instead of lashing out, right before you’re passing out

You wasted ticking, ticking time
We didn't make it but we tried
And baby that’s okay
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And now we’re talking about your only
Calling me up because you’re lonely
In the middle of the night
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Heartbreak isn't what it used to be
Now it’s a bedtime story, not a tragedy
I got the silver lining on a cloud like that
You let it rain so we won’t come back
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

There’s no fine print to read
Go live your fantasy
Your magic carpet ride
Let go of tears that you cried

Heartbreak isn't what it used to be
Now it’s a bedtime story, not a tragedy
I got the silver lining on a cloud like that
You let it rain so we won’t come back
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Heartbreak ouuuuuuu [4x]

When you drink, whoa

Every Little Bit lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Me and my woman, we both got the blues
But with so much to gain and such little to lose
Are we both getting played or do we like to pay for abuse

Down to a dollar and last bit of ale
But with too many sips, you forget the details
And you pale in the city lights shine, on the holes of your shoes

Every little bit, every little bit, every little
Every little bit, every little bit, every little bit
Just a drop in the bucket when you don’t have love

If I wake up tomorrow we’d both be surprised
If the car’s got some gas we’d both go for a ride
Hit our stride and some window shopping first, then stay out all night

Oh babe, you look so good I forget how to breathe
I wanna make that dress and give you a squeeze
There are reasons I am eager to please and easy to see, yeah

Every little bit, every little bit, every little
Every little bit, every little bit, every little bit
Just a drop in the bucket when you don’t have love

Take a little hit, take a little hit, take a little
Take a little hit, take a little hit
Baby get used to that hole in your pocket that’s the price of love

All the things we say
The promises, we make mistakes
All the things we do to live and love
And die
Dance with another
Never find another
While we have each other
While we have each other

Well I got some friends and they give advice
Some got big fancy houses and fantasy wives
But I’d rather be broke with you baby than live in their lives, yeah

Every little bit, every little bit, every little
Every little bit, every little bit, every little bit
Just a drop in the bucket when you don’t have love

Take a little hit, take a little hit, take a little
Take a little hit, take a little hit
Baby get used to that hole in your pocket, that’s the price of love

Different For Girls lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Oh you just don't know, what you do to me
Oooh, I come in close 'til you can barely breathe
You're out with your friends, but it's only you
That I'm looking at, thinking baby "yes, I do"
Is it even fair?
And are we to blame?
If we're in too deep and I don't even know your name
Just another night, of another week
With a groove so hot, we don't have to speak

There's just no way, that I'm gonna hear a word you say
Cause you know that boys don't cry
While you get hung up on every other guy
And I know that it's different for girls who care
Always wonder if his head is somewhere
I know it's different for girls
That's what you are
And oh, I know I just don't understand why it's different for girls

So we have a few and a little more and a little more and a little more
Till we both let go and you just give in
Yeah, we go too weak, forget about the shape we're in
The night is young, that dress is new
You spend too much time, thinking what I mean to you
Let goooooo, we're losing control
You know

There's just no way, that I'm gonna hear a word you say
Cause you know that boys don't cry
While you get hung up on every other guy
And I know that it's different for girls who care
Always wonder if his head is somewhere
I know it's different for girls
That's what you are
And oh, I know I just don't understand why it's different for girls

I don't understand why
I'm searching and I need to know
Just take me by the hand while
To get a little love and risk it all
I'm in trouble baby, can I get a witness?
I'm in trouble and I really need some help

There's just no way that I'm gonna hear a word you say
Cause you know that boys don't cry
While you get hung up on every other guy
And I know that it's different for girls who care
Always wonder if his head is somewhere
I know it's different for girls
That's what you are
And oh, I know I just don't understand why it's different for girls

Are we headed somewhere?
And oh, I know I just don't understand why it's different for girls
Headed somewhere
Is it headed somewhere?
Tell me if we're headed somewhere
ooooohhhh

Leading Man lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Walk in like a fistful of bottle rockets
It's only the flints on my back pocket
You never seen what you gonna see
And you won't believe when you see it
But it's only me

I'm your leading man, uh-huh
Up front like the leader of the band, yeah
The one thing ya must understand, uh-huh
You got to draw a line in the sand, yeah
For the leading man

Rip rollin' on the rug and it's alright
Slip slidin' in the truck and it's all night
You're gonna feel what you're gonna feel
And it's gonna feel, yeah, feel alright, yeah

I'm your leading man, uh-huh
Up front like the leader of the band, yeah
The one thing ya must understand, uh-huh
You got to draw a line in the sand, yeah
For the leading man

Got those alligators on the corner acting up
And the bravest has a hole on the back of his drum
He's a snake skin lizard to the tip of his tongue
Hold my gun and tell me where you're from

I'm your leading man, uh-huh
Up front like the leader of the band, mmm-hmm
The one thing ya must understand, yeah
I got to draw a line in the sand, yeah
I'm the leading man

All you suckers get the back of my hand
Dudes run while the pretty girls stare
Don't hate me for the way the chips land

I'm you're leading man
Up front like the leader of the band

"Sweeter" (2011)

Sweeter lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

You
You don't know how lucky you are
Hanging with that girl on your arm
But soon enough I'm taking my shot

Bang!
Once I get 'em locked in my sight
Doesn't mean I wasn't alright
I'm just seeing something I like
Woo hoo

I just wanna take
Someone else's holiday
Sometimes the grass is greener
And someone else's sugar,
Someone else's sugar's
Sweeter

You,
Went to school and found out you're dumb
Maybe you just had too much fun
Fell in love and think it's the one

You're like an angel
Got me feeling like a devil
I wanna give you something
If you promise that you won't tell
Woo hoo

I just wanna take
Someone else's holiday
Sometimes the grass is greener
And someone else's sugar,
Someone else's sugar's
Sweeter

I'ma recommend
You take that body to the other end
I really like you but I can't be friends
Not with these hands of mine

I just wanna take
Someone else's holiday
Sometimes the grass is greener
And someone else's sugar,
Someone else's sugar

I just wanna take
Someone else's holiday
Sometimes the grass is greener
And someone else's sugar,
Someone else's sugar's
Sweeter.

Not Over You lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Dreams, that's where I have to go
To see your beautiful face anymore
I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio
Hope, hope there's a conversation
We both admit we had it good
But until then it's alienation, I know
That much is understood
And I realize

[Chorus:]
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm not over you, not over you

Damn, damn girl, you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
Took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I, I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me
I turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you

[Chorus:]
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm not over you

And if I had the chance to renew
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then...

[Chorus:]
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm not over you
Not over you
Not over you
Not over you

Run Every Time lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I got troubles that I can’t hide
So many and it’s turning on the inside out
I know a woman’s nature
There’s nothing you can save here
Me, I run every time

We got two tickets but the one way
And I went with it so I can’t say no
I lit a fuse I can’t stop
I opened doors I can’t lock
Still, I never meant to be this close

And let it slip away
I keep stumbling till I finally miss the last train
Ooh, she’s ready, I’m not ready
I hear people go crazy for steady
But me, I run every time

So I told her get a head start
Like the last one I didn’t have the heart
To tell her straight
I know how she’ll receive it
And I can’t bear to see it
That’s why I never meant to be this close

And let it slip away
I keep stumbling till I finally miss the last train
Ooh, she’s ready, I’m not ready
I hear people go crazy for steady
But me, I run every time

And I hope she sees
It’s not her, it’s just me
And I’m so sorry
To be this close

And let it slip away
I keep stumbling till I finally miss the last train
Ooh, she’s ready, I’m not ready
I hear people go crazy for steady
But me, I run every time

I’m close and let it slip away
I keep dragging my feet till I finally miss the last train
Ooh, she’s ready, I’m not ready
I hear people go crazy for steady
But me, I run every time
I run every time
I run every time I’m close

Soldier lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Where did all the people go?
They got scared when the lights went low.
I'll get you through it nice and slow,
When the world's spinning out of control.

Afraid of what they might lose
Might get scraped or they might get bruised.
You could beg them, what's the use?
That's why it's called a moment of truth.

I'll get it if you need it.
I'll search if you don't see it.
You're thirsty, I'll be rain.
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it.
When you heard what I told you.
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

Funny when times get hard,
At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,
Always on the longest yard,
Oh, they feel their feet getting cold.

Hiding here, hiding there.
Find them underneath the stairs.
People hiding everywhere
Trying to be still like a stone.

But I'll get it if you need it.
I'll search if you can't see it.
You're thirsty, I'll be rain.
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it.
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

My aim is so true.
I wanna show you.
I'll try forever.
I'm never gonna say "Surrender".

I'll get it if you need it.
I'll search if you can't see it.
You're thirsty, I'll be rain.
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it.
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

I'll be your soldier.
Well, I'll be—oh, I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier.

Candy lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Remember the day you came to me and said you found the truth?
And I turned away and told you should take another look?
You said you’d see what’s going on
I know you trust but something’s wrong

We have our lives to bear
Our bags to burden
But we just buy and we wear
The plastic version of
Love, hope, understanding
But we can’t survive on candy

Red carpet ride
Can take your mind
Away from anything
And I wanna die
At every mention of “celebrity”
Like “who’s doing who”
Just how and where
Long as it’s not you
I just don’t care

We have our lives to bear
Our bags to burden
But we just buy and we wear
The plastic version of
Love, hope, understanding
But we can’t survive on candy

Running far away from all your serious concerns
I know you’ve learned to you use your fairytales
To get you through the hurt
Who’s falling? We’re falling
And there’s just no climbing back
So I’m slowin’, I'm stallin’
While I’m under full attack

We have our lives to bear
Our bags to burden
But we just buy and we wear
The plastic version of
Love, hope and understanding
But we can’t survive on candy
On candy
On candy
On candy
We can’t survive, can’t survive on candy

You Know Where I'm At lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Well, before you go away
I'm gonna give you all that I can say
The truth is harder to amuse
But when you know it's wrong
You got to cut it loose

Oh, it's better up ahead
The worst is over now
Remember what I said
Live, you don't have to look back
But if you ever do,
You know where I'm at

The thought of you to disappear
Shutting the door and walking out of here
To know there's something you must find
That I never had, believe me that I tried

Oh, it's better up ahead
The worst is over now
Remember what I said
Live, you don't have to look back
But if you ever do,
You know where I'm at

Calm down
I do declare
A conversation
We tried
And put it on the line
Sometimes
The feeling can survive

Oh, it's better up ahead
The worst is over now
Remember what I said
Live, you don't have to look back
But if you ever do,
You know where I'm at

Oh if you ever do,
If you ever do
You know where I'll be at

Stealing lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

You might really be
The very best woman to ever suit me
But I can’t expect you to see how I see
Cause sometimes I don’t see a thing
But personal pressure is making me guess
My time’s running out as we’re both getting dressed
I don’t know who’s body I’d rather feel pressed
But I cannot arrest on my thoughts

Cause we had a good time
Then it was sorrow
I call it stealing
You call it borrow
So I want my heart back
If you’re not gonna keep it
If you’ve got no uses
Then I’m gonna need it
And someone else
Is gonna need it too

While some of it’s here
I’m wondering where did the rest disappear
The parts that I thought were the best are unclear
Or hiding there under your doubt
So maybe we’ll call this a hard lesson learned
But you’re holding something that I’ll need returned
If you need some time
I’ve still got some to burn
But burning is just running thin

Cause we had a good time
Then it was sorrow
I call it stealing
You call it borrow
So I want my heart back
If you’re not gonna keep it
If you’ve got no uses
Then I’m gonna need it
And someone else
Is gonna need it too

What would the point be
If we let this thing drag out
Failing to accept
These impressions passed around
Oh, you and I
It’s been a wild ride
And I wouldn’t change at all
But I’m gonna let you know

Cause we had a good time
Then it was sorrow
I call it stealing
You call it borrow
So I want my heart back
If you’re not gonna keep it
If you’ve got no uses
Then I’m gonna need it
And someone else
Is gonna need it too


Radiation lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Na na na nana na na nah
Na na na nana na na nah

I'll lay it down one time through, gather round
Though this is a chore
So rich with lies, I prefer poor advice
And showed her the door

This is your goodbye and kiss opportunity
Thought you were burning me down
But I'm finally free and...

If you miss me don't
If I never wanna see you again
I won't
If you get an invitation
I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation

Oh the sun came up
Tell me where'd I park?
We did it again.
We had some fun
Did some things
We got dumb
But I want it to end

Cause I only give in
When I get the need
I'm only coming around
Cause I get to leave and...

If you miss me don't
If I never wanna see you again
I won't
If you get an invitation
I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation

Can't breathe, I can't sleep
Thinking 'bout the best of you and,
Some things I couldn't see
What about the rest of you?
Well, you're under my skin
But I can't let you win
Though you don't see scars
That's exactly what they are baby
Na na nana na nah
Na na nana na nah
Ooooh oh
Baby, baby, baby
You're never gonna hurt me

If you miss me don't
If I never wanna see you again
I won't
If you get an invitation
I'm probably drunk
You're just as hot as radiation
But I'm in this situation
[x2]

Na na nana na nah
Yes I am
Na na nana na nah
I gotta get out
Na na nana na nah
Na na nana na nah
If you miss me
If you miss me, if you miss me
Na na nana na nah
Na na nana na nah...

Where You Are lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Well everybody hurts,
That’s where we’re all the same
We drive on through the worst
And push on through the pain

I’m standing at your door
It’s been a million miles
I’ll be the first to say
I can’t take anymore

And that I wanna be where you are
I feel the same as I did from the start
Whoa, I wanna be where you are
And I’m willing to get there

There won’t be any hearts breaking again
This is the part where I stay where I stand
Oh, I wanna be where you are
Tell me you’re with me so far

So let this be the chance
The only one that counts
Your love will be my last
Until my life runs out

Until then I won’t rest
Till then I will not stop
Until I hear the words
All I need is a 'yes'

And that I wanna be where you are
I feel the same as I did from the start
Whoa, I wanna be where you are
And I’m willing to get there

There won’t be any hearts breaking again
This is the part where I stay where I stand
Oh, I wanna be where you are
Tell me you’re with me so far

I am amazed
And I’m clutching to each word you say
If only the space
Forgetting every mistake
That I made

I’m beginning to change
Cause I feel all my fears slip away
And each look at you
Is a moment I choose to embrace

And that I wanna be where you are
I feel the same as I did from the start
Whoa, I wanna be where you are
And I’m willing to get there

There won’t be any hearts breaking again
This is the part where I stay where I stand
Oh, I wanna be where you are
Tell me you’re with me so far

Spell It Out lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

With my eyes wide open
And with words unspoken
I still understand

And I'm reading your mind
Using every outline
You're drawing in my hand

Ooo, feel your fingers
Ooo, I'm in way too deep

To wake up
Step out
Cause I'm really getting used to being in this dream
You know what I mean I
Can't find
Any reason I would ever wanna turn back now
Once you spelled it out

Oh, when I first met you
There were things I'd been through
That I would never tell

But it was almost as if
You already knew my language
Cause you'd been there yourself

Ooo, I'm still falling
Ooo, don't make me return

And wake up
Step out
Cause I'm really getting used to being in this dream
You know what I mean I
Can't find
Any reason I would ever wanna turn back now
Once you spelled it out

I know it's not an accident
I can feel it crashing in
And I'm not pushing back

Come on, we can leave the world behind
Close the curtains, shut out the light
Just state the good
Don't let me go
Don't tell me I should

Wake up
Step out
Cause I'm really getting used to being in this dream
You know what I mean I
Can't find
Any reason I would ever wanna turn back now
Once you spelled it out

Once you spelled it out
Once you spelled it out

"Free" (2009)

Indian Summer lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Summer is lost now
The frost is closing in
To the cold gospel dollar
The poor man walks in sin
I can't get no entrance
The doors all in rows
I pray into the distance
Let me outta these heavy clothes

I beg
Indian summer I need some return
So hard to get warm now
And so easy to get burned
Down on the pavement the laws are learned
It's so hard to get warm where
It's so easy to get burned

When a sister called up
And said that love had broken down
I said there too much ice around here
To find no solid ground
Well I just squeezed a season
From this paper bag
I pray to the burning tires
Wrap my feet in rags

Begging
Indian summer I need some return
It's so hard to get warm now
And so easy to get burned
Down on the pavement the laws are learned
It's so hard to get warm where
It's so easy to get burned

Now the sky is empty
The street is sweating tears
Communion at the station
For a million grinding gears
Well I'm riding out this century
The harvest engines sing
From the church of mercenaries
To a naked virgin spring

I'm singing
Indian summer I need some return
It's so hard to get warm now
And so easy to get burned
Down on the pavement the laws are learned
It's so hard to get warm where
It's so easy to get burned

Hard to get warm where
It's so easy to get burned

Free lyrics - Gavin DeGraw


I'm a poor, I'm a rich
I'm a mountain, and a ditch
I'm a dagger, and a shield
I'm impatient, I'm a yield

And I wanna be free
Wind in my hair
Salt on my skin
Sun in the air
I have to feel love
Holding on me
I'll give you everything that you would ever need

I'm the fight and the dance
I am heartbreak and romance
The feather and the stone
I feel crowded and alone

And I wanna be free
Wind in my hair
Salt on my skin
Sun in the air
I have to feel love
Holding on me
I'll give you everything that you would ever need

And every once in a while
I wanna sit back and enjoy the view
I'm feeling my senses
But woman my life has been surrounded by fences
But I found some that I could see through
I could see through

And I wanna be free
Wind in my hair
Salt on my skin
Sun in the air
I have to feel love
Holding on me
I'll give you everything that you would ever need

Everything that you would ever need
Everything that you would ever need

Stay lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

You don't have to be part of the problem
I just need a second chance
I just need a second chance
Instead of leaving me standing in sorrow
I know that you'll understand
I hope then you'll understand
I know that I was wrong
But just don't walk away

[Chorus:]
Oh won't you stay
I need you need you here
When you're with me
All others disappear
I'll follow close
So close I'll almost touch
I need your love
But it never hurt this much

I don't wanna be someone who's searching
Finally met someone
I finally met someone
There's a couple things I'm still learning
Just gotta figure out
But you need someone who knows
I came to you tonight
But now you're just walking away

[Chorus]

Don't get caught up in me feeling off course today
You can take a minute before you go slipping away
I know I took some time but I realized my mistake
You don't have to be part of the problem
I just need a second chance

[Chorus]

I need your lovin' arms at night, but it never hurt this much
You don't have to be part of the problem
I just need a second chance

Mountains To Move lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Sunlight goes down, as you pack up your things
Feelings amount, we can work out the kinks
Your eyes on fire, as you drag him towards the door
Your bags so heavy, leavin marks across the floor

I guess, I win, Goodbye Again
Go spread the news, Oh and don't forget your shoes
It's going to be a long walk
And you know what you could lose
Oh, when you've got mountains to move

I suppose you cant leave the mark of all your saints
You aim too high, and I'm just trying to keep it straight
Worse times are coming and I don't have to tell you,
Times are already hard,
Good luck out there getting where you think you're heading for

I guess, I win, Goodbye Again
Go spread the news,
Oh and don't forget your shoes
It's going to be a long walk
And you know what you could lose
Oh, when you've got mountains to move

And oh, once I was a fool
Who would brush all my fears aside
There was nothing, I wouldn't do
But now, I really seen the world on the surface
Just, doesn't show you what it hides

Oh, no, no

I guess, I win, Goodbye Again
Go spread the news,
Oh and don't forget your shoes
Cuz it's going to be a long walk
And you know what you could lose
Oh, and when you've got mountains

Glass lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Fool you made the girl fall in love
You said those beautiful things
She thought you spoke things you mean

Caress her skin like it's glass
She hears your voice making plans
And sees your face in her hands

You don't wanna see somebody beg
As you feel her heart surrender you begin to fall
How do you say that something's through
When it never even started, at least not for you

You breathe her air and you leave
You keep your mind on yourself
And lie the glass on the shelf
After the heavenly speech
Your body throws holy heat
The angels sing when our eyes meet

It wasn't a lie but it wasn't true
I just wanted to make him feel good
Just wanted you near
I wasn't prepared I wasn't thinking of you
That you could actually love me
It never should have started

She's dreaming back on the past
Every opinion agreed
Doesn't know what to believe

It must have been for a cause
Our lives have so many doors
Don't think about him anymore

But it was the kiss, it took me away
It's like he knew that I am fragile
He handled me like glass

And it hurts
But it's what I deserve
Because I should have been more careful
With these others that I've handled
I should have been more

And knowing this I know that he'll get his
But I don't want the man to suffer
Not the way I am

'Cause deep down I know that he's glass too
And it really doesn't matter until it's happenin' to you
Everybody breaks, everybody breaks sometimes, sometimes

Lover Be Strong lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

No matter what happens, I see you on the other side
There's too many distractions, waiting for the perfect time
I know you're alright, by the friends you keep
It'll all be fine, depend on me

[Chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh lover be strong while I'm gone
And if you feel like falling, just hold on
Because everybody knows what this all we had
Everybody wants and they want it bad
Oh, oh, oh lover be strong while I'm gone

Just under the radar, a thread approach is slipping in
On another stormy morning, another issue could begin
But you heard these lines and these echoings
You ignore them all till your wedding day

[Chorus]

When you look and tell me love, just return
I'll be waiting here for you, and you do

[Chorus]

Lover be strooong [x4]
Ohh

Dancing Shoes lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

It's so nice to see you
Can we sit and talk for a while?
I have searched forever
I can't imagine anythin' better

Kids up on the stairway
Couples on the sidewalk squares
If I get to your heart soon
I'll call a perfect afternoon

Won't you call my number?
Don't push, but don't hesitate
Wake me from this slumber
Rush me, but leave time to wake

Checkmate on my shoulder
I'm tired of this win or lose
Well, I'm no knight in shinnin' armor
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes
I'm no pair of dancin' shoes

My patience ran away, take me with you
You keep me holdin' on
Nothin's understood, you're so confusin'
Tell it to me straight

Won't you call my number?
Don't push, but don't hesitate
Wake me from this slumber
Rush me, but leave time to wake
Rush me, but leave time to wake

I got nothin' left to lose
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes
I got nothin' left to lose
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes

I got nothin' left to lose
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes
I got nothin' left to lose
But I'm no pair of dancin' shoes


Waterfall lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Say it by mine,
Carry waves of light.
Caught in time,
Waitin' on the light.

Then the winds, they go by
Faster than fireflies.

Hold my hand,
Take my life.

[Chorus:]
Waterfall,
Waterfall,
Waterfall,
Waterfall, you're beautiful.

Live by me,
Stand next to me.

Your lovely,
Let nobody else see.
And the tide is callin'
Shadows slowly fallin'.

Waterfall, lovin me.

[Chorus]

All the terrible things I used to say,
I'd like to throw them all away.
Tell me your story
All about the sin,
I want to get to know you again.

[Chorus]

Beautiful, you're beautiful, beautiful...[repeated]

Waterfall...

You're beautiful.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful....[repeated 3x]

Why Do Men Stray lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Why do the men stray
Why do the women pray
Why do the men fight
Why do the women sympathize

Whoa it was easier before I loved
Before this heart was turned to stone
Before this blood was stirred and blood was spilled
No one was ever meant to be alone

Why do the birds sing
What do they call that thing
Why do the bombs boom
We're running out of living room

Our needs getting needier and needier
More lies are told until they're truth
Until the messages are massacred
Old men get all their killing done with youth

Why do the men stray
Why do the women pray
Why do the men fight
Why do the women sympathize

All these wooden houses
Light themselves on fire in turn
Oh but someday there will be nothing left to burn
Oh someday there will be nothing left to burn

Whoa
Whoa
Someday someday someday someday

"Gavin DeGraw" (2008)

In Love With A Girl lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

So many people gonna say that they want you,
To try to get you thinking they really care,
But there's nothing like the warmth of the one
who has put in the time and you know is gonna be there,
Back your border when she knows someone crossed it,
Don't let nobody put you down, who your with
Take the pain of protecting your name,
from the crutch to the cane to the highwire

[Chorus:]
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
Fell for the woman just when I met her,
Took my sweet time when I was bitter,
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right,
Give me that feeling every night,
Wants to make love when I wanna fight,
Now someone understand me,
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with) [x2]

After many broken backdoors and windows,
Through the valley of the love of the lost,
Is a hole that is cut through the souls falling down
from the thrones without any innuendos,
But you drown in a piece for the moment,
The moment was over in time,
Then its gone the hit and run the guiltless one has a short life

I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
Fell for the woman just when I met her,

Took my sweet time when I was bitter,
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right,
Give me that feeling every night,
Wants to make love when I wanna fight,
Now someone understand me,
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with) [x2]

Gonna tell you what you do to think you practice what you preach,
Now I know there's nothing we can't reach,
'cause the heart can't erase once it finds a place to be warm and welcome,
To be held in shelter

[Chorus:]
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right
Give me that feeling every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understands me
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with) [x3]
Who knows me better
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
now someone understand me

Next To Me lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Listen up destiny
I know you want to get pressed to me
So don't be such a stone
When I call you on the phone
Or I won't be using that number again

Maybe what you had was broke
You want to get high and they don't
So I had a drink
'Cause it helped me think
Now you say I've been drinking too much

But my hands start shaking
And my heart starts quaking
Like a nightmare naked in school
And I want to tell you

[Chorus]
Wait a minute sister
I know I ain't your mister yet
Just give me a chance and see
But you won't even get next to me

What you want to do now
You're gonna have to give somehow
And I've got that thing you need
But you won't even get next to me

Once I get you in my grip
Follow my eyes to your hips
Don't you pull away
You've done it every day
Just stay
Why don't you stay
Why don't you stay baby
Put away your old disguise
You don't want no other guys
We're having so much fun
I know you shouldn't run
But you run, you just run
You just run baby

[Chorus]

Me here
Heart in hand
Offering
What I can
Patience
Running thin
Come on girl
Let me in

[Chorus]

Cheated On Me lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I'm love-sick somewhere tonight
I'm love-sick somewhere tonight
I don't need writing on the wall
I've felt it for so long
Am I even on your mind
Or are you now in...

[Chorus]
Someone else's eyes
Someone else's arms
Someone else's obvious moves
I'm a jealous guy
I hear people talk
And it isn't hard to believe
I think you cheated on me

I've been this love-sick before
I've felt just like this before
There was another just like you
I loved her for so long
But I had poison on my mind
And I drove her into...

[Chorus]
Someone else's eyes
Someone else's arms
Someone else's obvious moves
I'm a jealous guy
I hear people talk
And it isn't hard to believe
I think she cheated on me

[Bridge]
I said I've had this sense before
But I left an open door
For this to walk into my life
And maybe I suspect too much
But it's just hard for me to trust
When I'm all wound up inside
I just drive you off and into...

[Chorus]

Someone else's eyes
Someone else's arms
Someone else's obvious moves

I'm a jealous guy
I hear people talk
And it isn't hard to believe
I was never easy to please
And I think you cheated on me

I Have You To Thank lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Whenever I see you I need more
And I want you to stay 'til the end
One look at that smile and I'm all yours
Will you just smile at me again

[Chorus]
I have you to thank for making me so
So hard to please because you treated me so
Good that no one else could hold your make-up
Because of you girl I never want to break up

The difference I'm feeling in my heart
Is the difference of loving or not
And under the stars and moon and sun
Is the perfect becoming of one

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
If I told you that I loved like an ace
Then I'd be lying 'cause I've made some mistakes
But I'm trying with perfect faith
When I let you in
I began to win
And now I'm just all gold
After all I've done
And the road I've run
I want to thank you
I want to thank you

[Chorus]

All I do when I think about it
Is thank you baby
Thank you baby
All I do when I think about it
Is thank you baby
I just want to thank you baby
I just want to
Thank you

Cop Stop lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

When your feathers are soaked
And your eyes are too bloody to see
And you've pulled every punch that you had
But there's one that you need
Then you've waited too long
There's a hole in your heart
And all you've become
is emotionally over-run

[Chorus]
Wishing wells were made to echo a dime
The consequences are you keep on relying
You've become a run and hide refugee
Baby I'm a Cop Stop!
Put up your hands and surrender to me

You're gonne get hooked
If there's anything left I can do
You're already disarmed
It's your lasting alarm I pursue
You can loosen those fists
Come on blow me a kiss
You've been roughed up enough
To deserve some relief from your troubles
So I'm coming in

[Chorus]

Otherwise
I would never tell you what to do despite
Any indecision though I know I'm right
Arguing was always my forte
But one thing I can say is
I won't tell you lies
Or treat you like a rental car like other guys
And if you think I'm crazy find an alibi
But you will need some evidence to show

[Chorus]

Young Love lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

There's no need to beg babe
That's my open pocket
You take the money from me
I can scrounge
Gave me a fever that will not come down
Oh babe!
You're a young woman cast aside
Ostracized
Left on the sidewalk of my lonely life

[Chorus]
For the young lovers
Taking the hill
One plants a flag
While the other is killed
When the wine pours
We raise our cups
Young love is sacrifice
Young love is tough
Young love is innocent
Young love is us

What did I get into
Now everything is untrue
Oh, your eyes tell the lies
Of the lines that you said
And now that I love you
Oh, I wish we'd never met
Why wait?
Woman I'm taking risks here
That no one dared
And you're scared
Scared of the bottom
Afraid of the stairs

[Chorus]

Someone
I saw someone
And fell in love with a face
And it scares me to let her go
Still want her even though
I get less than she takes

[Chorus]

Medicate The Kids lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"
"Substances make you dumb"
Then you say, "give 'em some"
Are you the victim
Of this experience
Child experiment
Teacher's predicament?
You're in THE SYSTEM

And if you don't walk the line
You can walk the plank
Your older brother (government)
Wants to control your mind
You're more useful blank

[Pre-chorus]
Medicate the kids
Feathers turn to quills
Pump 'em full of training fluids
Powders and pills
There's nothing you can't flush out
And nothing you can't kill

[Chorus]
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy?
I'm gonna tell you,
"No way,
This ain't fair play,
Just don't medicate me"

Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"
"Substances make you dumb"
Unless you get 'em from
Someone who loves you
One who knows best for you
Paid for those tests for you
Knows how to get you through
When it's above you
And you can't get on top
Cause it's high to climb,
You hear them saying,
"Don't make me call the cops"
Every other time

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And there's a long line
Flowing from prescription aisles
Filed through legal means
So we can alter the child
For his protection
Tie him to extension cords,
This is the age of discipline

[Chorus]

Relative lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

A flashlight
Isn't quite sunlight
But any light at all seems bright
When you're looking in the dark

A wet-dream
Isn't the real thing
It isn't really anything
But at least it makes a spark

And all is relative
Eveything is relative
Yes, it is

[Chorus]
It's all about
The way we receive it
How much we believe it
Depending on the life you lead
If you lead it
Compare it to yourself
Compared to someone else
You care

And if you took
The threads in your closet
The cash in your wallet
The color of the skin in your blood
And how you got it
Compare it to yourself
Compared to someone else
You care

Pre-made
Isn't quite homemade
But pre-made with a home name
Is almost just the same
Your girlfriend
Isn't your best friend
But any friend is best when
You're freezing in the rain
And all is relative
Everything is relative

You're either underweight or you're unfit
Overdressed or underzipped
Too social or you're just too shy
Too depressed or you're too high
As night to day and day to night
Rich and poor and black and white
All is relative
Everything's relative
All is relative...

[Chorus]

She Holds A Key lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

This ain't the kind of affair to make you dance about
But there's something to say for the things
You wouldn't regularly let out
At least this chase makes you feel new

[Chorus]
She holds a key
Tight in her hand
Clutching his neck
She is breaking the man
Listen you sinner
I'm sinning too
Just wait until the darkness falls
So I can sin with you

You've run through the whole gamut of gameplay
The head-trip parade
Without any experience
You've become curious prey
So change your position
This decision you're making
Is digging a hole
Oh, and where you're headed
Only heaven knows

[Chorus]

So set out your plans
Break down your walls
Count what you're blessed with
You've counted them all
There's something to save
But you have to search
You might not believe
But, believe me, it works,
Believe me it works, yes it does

[Chorus]
She holds a key
Tight in her hand
Clutching his neck
She is breaking the man
Listen you sinner
I'm sinning too
Just wait until the darkness falls
So I can sin with you

Untamed lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

The letters you wrote me had hollow-point headers
If you think you've got it like that
Find somebody better
You said I need fixing
You numbered the stages
But I won't be living in one of your cages
Open your mind and understand...

[Chorus]
When you're hard on me
It's not what I need
We were meant to be untamed
Up on my feet

Born to run free
And there's nobody taming me

I've outgrown the narrow, protective container
Designed to be opened
With your childish behavior
'Cause you're not the critic of personal purpose
And I'm just not willing to do community service
I don't know why you lay it on...

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You say - that I should lend a shoulder
Right now - 'cause your whole world is blowing up
Go ahead but I won't be your soldier
'Cause you're the one who started up
You're the one who started up...

[Chorus]

Let It Go lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I can't live without you
Set my goals around you
Takes a little extra time
But it all works out

You're a shining ember
I'll be shining armor
Just look up into my eyes
I won't let you down

And I'll always be here
Yes, I'll always be here

[Chorus]
Let it go
Settle into me
Let it go
Let it all go

Except for me
I'm the one you found
Just hold on
Hold onto me now

Why don't we play hooky?
We could both get lucky
Better to get lucky than to go to work today

We don't have to shower
You won't wait in traffic
Take our daily panic and we'll put it all away

And we'll always be near
We should always be near

[Chorus]

Don't you know you're the one for me
After all, anyone can see

We Belong Together lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

We belong together
like the open seas and shores
wedded by the planet force
we've all been spoken for

[VERSE 1:]
The hammer may strike, be dead on the ground.
a net to my hand, a cross on his crown.
we're done if, who we're undone,
finished if who we are incomplete.
as one we are everything,
we are everything we need.

[CHORUS:]
we belong together
like the open seas and shores
wedded by the planet force
we've all been spoken for

[VERSE 2:]
What good is a life,
With no one to share,
The light of the moon,
The honor of a swear?
The kingdom of men,
Is hollow within,
Without depth,
Without the care,
That it takes to make a perfect love,
The passion to find the other truth,
To visualize the straightened from the skewed,
To trade a common comfort for a view,
Would you try to live the way in which you speak?
Taste the milk of your mother earth's love?
Spread the word of consciousness you seek?
We are everything we need

[CHORUS:]
We belong together
like the open seas and shores
wedded by the planet force
we've all been spoken for

All this indecision
all this independent strength
still
we've got our hearts on safe
we've got our hearts on safe

Someday when you're lonely,
sometime after all this bliss,
somewhere lost in emptiness,
I hope you find this gift...
I hope you find this gift..
I hope you find this gift.

"Chariot" (2003)

Follow Through lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
(For) you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you'll have to follow through
With every word you say
An I, all I really want is you (For) you to stick around
I'll see everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?

Chariot lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Staring at a maple leaf
Leaning on the mother tree
I said to myself we all lost touch
Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries
And seedless watermelon ohhhh
Nothing from the ground is good enough
Body rised
It puts over me

[Chorus:]
Oh chariot your golden waves
are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
To guide me
Give me your...
Strength

Remember seeking moons rebirth
Rains made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
It is a living promise land
Even over fields of sand
Seasons fill my mind and
Cover me
From bringing back
More than a memory

[Chorus]

You'll be my vacation away from this place
You know what I want
Holding that cup,
It's pouring over the sides
Make me wanna spread my arms and fly

[Chorus]

Just Friends lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart
But you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I've had other options too
But all I want is you
Girl, your body fits me like a glove
And you showered me with words of love
While you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
It's not my style to lay it on the line
But you don't leave me with a choice this time
Why weren't you true
You know I, I trusted you
When you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
You were just friends
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you

Nice To Meet You Anyway lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

I don't want to get too close
I don't want to get too close
You see this isn't where my head is
If you knew me I'm not like this
But I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

I belive you're very fine
Still I haven't got the time
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love

I don't mean to be so strange
But my life just took a change
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love

So before this goes too far
Let me tell you what you are
You're amazing, I'm attracted
But I'm terribly distracted
And I'm trying to be verbal
And I'm back into this circle
Because I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you

Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you anyway [x4]

And even if you want me to stay here
I'm telling you right now
I should leave
Before I get to changing my mind, dear
I hope you understand what I mean

Chemical Party lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Here at the party
everone's happy
Everyone's high
Get struck by lightning
Who here would feel it?
Who here could heal it?
Who here would try?
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just too high to see the point
You think your name is pass the joint
I think I like you
But you like this whole room
You sexy machine
I'm jing-a-linging from here to the ceiling
Inside I'm reeling
So fresh and so clean
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just to high to see the point
You think your name is pass the joint
You're still too amazing to ignore
But I'm incapable of rescuing you
You find it too damn easy to get bored
That's why you're always trying something new
And then when you can't hold up
They're all over you
Flies on cake, flies on cake
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
You're just to high to see the point
You think your name is pass the joint
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls
It's not this town
I'm just too drunk to make my point
But you think your name is pass the joint
You think your name is pass the...

Belief lyrics - Gavin DeGraw

Belief
Makes things real
Makes things feel
Feel alright
Belief
Makes things true
Things like you
You and I
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife
In the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
Oh, you stood by me
Belief
Builds from scratch
Doesn't have to relax
It doesn't need space
Long live the queen and I'll be the king
In the collar of grace
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife
In the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
Oh, you stood by me
Belief
I'm going to yell it from the rooftops
I'll wear a sign on my chest
That's the least I can do
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife
In the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
Oh, you stood by me
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife
In the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
Oh, you stood by me
And I'll stand by my
Belief
