Face The Sun lyrics - James Blunt

Yes, this love's not good enough

It's time to let it go

Our weary hearts just fall apart

I feel it in my bones

And God knows that it's hard to find the one

But in time all the flowers turn to face the sun

So silently, just walk with me

Like any other day

No sad goodbyes, no tears, no lies

Just go our separate ways

And God knows that it's hard to find the one

But in time all the flowers

Yes, in time all the flowers turn to face the sun

Yeah, you say what you say

Then you do it to me anyway

You do what you do

Then you walk away, you walk away

You say what you say

Then you do it to me anyway

You do what you do

Yeah, I know when it's through

(Won't you stay with me?)

And God knows that it's hard to find the one

(I know you won't stay with me)

But in time all the flowers

(I know you won't stay with me)

Yes, in time all the flowers turn to face the sun

Satellites lyrics - James Blunt

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

She's another victim of life, we've come to know,

Technology, celebrity, all the things you cannot hold

She's from a long lost tribe looking for the light

Or a friend to hold her hand

She's doing the best she can

Seems that everyone we know's

Out there waiting by a phone

Wondering why they feel alone

In this life

Are we all just satellites?

Where's the love? Show me tonight

Here's the moment we unite

For all we know life's just a dream

Who the hell knows what it means?

Stop the world and sing with me

All her memories have been

Experienced through

High speed on a video screen

That's all she ever knew

Did you know none of it's real if you can't feel

The beating of someone's heart

Don't leave yourself in the dark

Seems that everyone we know's

Out there waiting by a phone

Wondering why they feel alone

In this life

Are we all just satellites?

Where's the love? Show me tonight

Here's the moment we unite

For all we know life's just a dream

Who the hell knows what it means?

Stop the world and sing with me

Are we satellites?

Are we satellites?

Are we all just satellites?

Where's the love? Show me tonight

Here's the moment we unite

For all we know life's just a dream

Who the hell knows what it means?

Stop the world and sing with me

Are we all just satellites?

Where's the love? Show me tonight

Here's the moment we unite

For all we know life's just a dream

Who the hell knows what it means?

Stop the world and sing with me

Bonfire Heart lyrics - James Blunt

Your mouth is a revolver

Firing bullets in the sky

Your love is like a soldier

Loyal 'til you die

And I've been looking at the stars

For a long, long time

I've been putting out fires

All my life

Everybody wants a flame

They don't want to get burnt

And today is our turn

Days like these lead to

Nights like this lead to

Love like ours

You light the spark in my bonfire heart

People like us—we don't

Need that much, just some-

One that starts

Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

This world is getting colder

Strangers passing by

No one offers you a shoulder

No one looks you in the eye

But I've been looking at you

For a long, long time

Just trying to break through

Trying to make you mine

Everybody wants a flame

They don't want to get burnt

Well, today is our turn

Days like these lead to

Nights like this lead to

Love like ours

You light the spark in my bonfire heart

People like us—we don't

Need that much, just some-

One that starts

Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire hearts

You light the spark

People like us—we don't

Need that much, just some-

One that starts

Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Days like these lead to

Nights like this lead to

Love like ours

You light the spark in my bonfire heart

People like us—we don't

Need that much, just some-

One that starts

Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

(Our bonfire hearts)

(Days like these lead to

Nights like this lead to

Love like ours

You light the spark in my bonfire heart)*

People like us—we don't

Need that much, just some-

One that starts

Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Heart To Heart lyrics - James Blunt (with Dido)

There are times when I don't know where I stand (Whoa sometimes!)

You make me feel like I'm a boy and not a man (Whoa sometimes!)

There are times when you don't give me a smile (Whoa sometimes!)

I'll lie awake at night and worry for a while (Whoa, whoa!)

It's OK, 'cause I know

You shine even on a rainy day

And I can find your halo

Guides me to wherever you fall

If you need a hand to hold

I'll come running, because

You and I won't part till we die

You should know

We see eye to eye, heart to heart

There are times when I cry, 'cause you shed no tears

And I'm so far away, but your body's right here

There are times when I just walked out your door

And thought I'd never get to see you anymore

It's OK, 'cause I know

You shine even on a rainy day

And I can find your halo

Guides me to wherever you fall

If you need a hand to hold

I'll come running, because

You and I won't part till we die

You should know

We see eye to eye, heart to heart

Ohoohoo sometimes

Ohoohoo sometimes

Ohoohoo sometimes

Ohoohoo

Wherever you fall

If you need a hand to hold

I'll come running, because

You and I won't part till we die

You should know

We see eye to eye, heart to heart

I can find your halo

Guides me to wherever you fall

Miss America lyrics - James Blunt

Did someone give you something to help you ease the pain?

Like the liquor in the bottle, we watched you slip away

And I feel as if I know you through the bars of a song

Always surrounded but alone

But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America

We watched you fly, but nothing's free, Miss America

And as you fall apart, we just call it art

Was it so hard to breathe?

Was the picture in the paper not the face you recognize?

Did the make-up never make up for the pain behind your eyes?

'Cause I feel as if I know you when you're on my silver screen

But I don't know the dark places that you've been

But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America

We watched you fly, but nothing's free, Miss America

And as you fall apart, we just call it art

Was it so hard to breathe?

Does another voice sing in Heaven's choir tonight

To fill the silence left behind?

And I don't know what goes on in your mind

But I'm sure it's enough to make me cry

Someday we'll find you lived forever

But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America

We watched you fly but nothing's free, Miss America

And as you fall apart, we just call it art

Was it so hard to breathe?

The Only One lyrics - James Blunt

Did all the words I never said

Hurt as bad as those I did?

You know I never even cared not before you

If I could go and turn back time

If I could only press rewind

I would bleed this heart of mine

Just to show you

I'll be the first to say I'm sorry

The first to say I'm stupid

Why do I always take it there?

Is it hopeless or maybe you still want to

Meet me at the altar?

And I will lay it all to bare

And I told you all my secrets

All my fears, I've let go

And it's flawless

You are the only one

You are the only one

Don't you know

Don't you know?

Am I fading from your mind

Has the distance blurred the lines?

They say all things heal with time

But it's untrue

I will linger on every word

I know it's more than I deserve

Chances are I'll make it worse

But I need to tell you

Tell you that I'm sorry

Tell you that I'm stupid

Why do I always take it there?

Is it hopeless or maybe you still want to

Meet me at the altar?

And I will lay it all to bare

And I told you all my secrets

All my fears, I've let go

And it's flawless

You are the only one

You are the only one

Don't you know

Don't you know?

Don't you know

That the hardest part's not having you to hold?

Don't you know

This old heart of mine can't bear to see you go?

And I told you all my secrets

All my fears, I've let go

And it's flawless

You are the only one

You are the only one

Don't you know

Don't you know?

And I told you all my secrets

All my fears, I've let go

And it's flawless

You are the only one

You are the only one

Don't you know

Don't you know?

And I told you all my secrets

All my fears, I've let go

And it's flawless

You are the only one

You are the only one

Don't you know

Don't you know?

Sun On Sunday lyrics - James Blunt

A silent tear, an empty smile

So insincerely, but so gently in denial

And me the thief, so selfishly

All the moments meant for you, I made them mine

How was I so blind to miss you crumbling inside?

Is it too late now to fix you? Let me make it right!

'Cause there'll be no sun on Sunday

No reason for words to rhyme

'Cause if you're bleeding, so am I

A wishful look, a hesitate

You're hoping I will notice that you're not OK

And me the fool; you turn away

It's only then I feel the weight of my mistakes

How was I so blind to miss you crumbling inside?

Is it too late now to fix you? Let me make it right

'Cause there'll be no sun on Sunday

No reason for words to rhyme

'Cause if you're bleeding, so am I

And if I cut you, if I bruise you, then the scars are always mine

Cause I love you so to lose you would be worse than if I died

How was I so blind to miss you crumbling inside?

Is it too late now to fix you? Let me make it right

'Cause there'll be no sun on Sunday

No reason for words to rhyme

'Cause if you're bleeding, so am I

Bones lyrics - James Blunt

I have never been a beautiful boy

Never liked the sound of my own voice

I wasn't cool when I was in my teens

I never slept, but I did have dreams

And as I step out in this big old world

Seven billion just trying to cope

And everyone of us some day will die but

Today I've never felt more alive

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it, feel it, feel it

Running through your bones?

Running through your bones

Yeah, you set my heart on fire

And it's all hard-wired to my bones

I can count all the things I fear

I close my eyes but they don't disappear

If there's a God then there's a guarantee

But if there's not it's just you and me

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it, feel it, feel it

Running through your bones?

Running through your bones

Yeah, you set my heart on fire

And it's all hard-wired to my bones

So kiss me before the sun falls down

Run before your legs give way

Swallow it all till you drown

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it, feel it, feel it

Running through your bones?

Running through your bones

Yeah, you set my heart on fire

And it's all hard-wired to my bones

Running through my bones

Yeah, you set my heart on fire

And it's all hard-wired to my bones

Running through my bones

Running through my bones

Always Hate Me lyrics - James Blunt

Oh God it hurt, the moment that I saw you

With someone else, the one that you belonged to

I never thought I'd drown in my shallow heart

I'd like to say the things I never used to

But come today they won't ever be useful

I never learnt to use my shallow heart

I I I, I never meant to hurt you

It's just something I do

I guess it's not a good excuse

And she will always hate me, no matter what I say

And there is no mistaking, the love is gone

Yeah she will always hate me, she said "you've lost me, baby"

No matter what I say, the love is gone.

Looking back I guess I'm holding on to

The good we had but I know that it's wrong too

'Cause in the end she's never gonna hold my heart

And now she knows, she doesn't wanna know me

I'm not supposed to be the one who's lonely

I never thought that she could have a cold cold heart

I I I, I never meant to hurt you

It's just something I do

I guess it's not a good excuse

And she will always hate me, no matter what I say

And there is no mistaking, the love is gone

Yeah she will always hate me, she said "you've lost me, baby"

No matter what I say, the love is gone

I I I, I never meant to hurt you

It's just something I do

I guess it's not a good excuse

And she will always hate me, no matter what I say

And there is no mistaking, the love is gone

Yeah she will always hate me, she said "you've lost me, baby"

No matter what I say, the love is gone

Postcards lyrics - James Blunt

Sundays sitting on your back porch

And I came armed with a couple of chords

And I played for you

You let me keep you entertained

With stories I exaggerate

That you know aren't true

And as you sit there making daisy chains

And I throw in a hand grenade

And tell you how it is I really feel for you

I'm sending postcards from my heart

With love for a postmark and then

You'll know that you make me

Feel like we've been caught

Like kids in the school-yard again

And I can't keep it to myself

Can't spell it any better

L-O-V-E forever

I hope you know that I'm

Sending a postcard

I don't care who sees what I've said

Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

We chased the sun till it got away

On a bicycle that your Daddy made

But not made for two

Then we sat out on your rocking chair

You with a flower in your hair that I found for you

But then Monday always comes around

And it's sad coz I can't see you now

I want you to know you're always in my head

I'm sending postcards from my heart

With love for a postmark and then

You'll know that you make me

Feel like we've been caught

Like kids in the school-yard again

And I can't keep it to myself

Can't spell it any better

L-O-V-E forever

I hope you know that I'm

Sending a postcard

I don't care who sees what I've said

Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

You know sometimes it's hard to see

Or say the words that torture me

But inside I know exactly how I feel

The things that I can't say outloud

I'll find a place to write it down

I hope that they will find you in the end

I'm sending postcards from my heart

With love for a postmark and then

You'll know that you make me

Feel like we've been caught

Like kids in the school-yard again

And I can't keep it to myself

Can't spell it any better

L-O-V-E forever

I hope you know that I'm

Sending a postcard

I don't care who sees what I've said

Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

Know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh

All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh

All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh

All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh

All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh

All the things I want you to know oh oh know oh oh know oh oh

All the things I want you to know

Blue On Blue lyrics - James Blunt

How come you don't want to see me?

How come you've gone and left me alone?

How come you took a slow boat to China?

What can I do if I, I can't get through to you?

Baby, blue on blue

I want you more than I ever wanted

Than I ever needed, anyone I ever knew

I love you more than ever

Thought that I would never feel the way that I do

How long you gonna leave me here standing?

How long till you're gonna make up your mind?

How long is your balloon ride to nowhere?

What can I do if I, I can't be there with you?

Baby, blue on blue

I want you more than I ever wanted

Than I ever needed, anyone I ever knew

I love you more than ever

Thought that I will never feel the way that I do

I'm coming under fire

I'm coming under fire

I'm coming under fire

I'm coming under fire

I'm coming under fire

I'm coming under fire

I'm coming under fire

I'm coming under fire

Baby, blue on blue

Telephone lyrics - James Blunt

Next to your chest like a locket

Or on vibrate in your pocket

You've got it in your hand everywhere you go

Or close to your mouth when your voice is low

You freak out if I ever get busted

Buy another me no matter what the cost is

We're inseparable, disconnectable

Without me you never go too far

I just wanna be your telephone

Keep me on 24/7 365 days

Think about all the time we could waste

I just wanna be your telephone

Never let me go

I know every dirty secret that you keep

Crazy as shit that no one sees

Doo do do doo doo doo

Doo do do doo doo

Doo do do doo doo doo

Doo do do doo doo

Never would have to be jealous

When you're talking to all of those fellas

Cause I'm the only one that's ever gonna be

So well acquainted with your anatomy

Like a shoulder to cry on

I'm the one thing you rely on

It's like a drug

I'm so in love

Never let anyone break us up

I just wanna be your telephone

Keep me on 24/7, 365 days

Think about all the time we could waste

I just wanna be your telephone

Never let me go

I know every dirty secret that you keep

Crazy as shit that no one sees

Doo do do doo doo doo

Doo do do doo doo

Doo do do doo doo doo

Doo do do doo doo

So here comes the come-up

Guess I better sum up

I'll never be what you need

Cause you love that toy

More than this boy

Charge me up, turn me on

I love it when you use me

All night long

Charge me up, turn me on

I love it when you use me

All night long

Charge me up, turn me on

I love it when you use me

All night long

Charge me up, turn me on

I love it when you use me

Use me, use me

Charge me up

I just wanna be your telephone

Keep me on 24/7 365 days

Think about all the time we could waste

I just wanna be your telephone

Never let me go

I know every dirty secret that you keep

Crazy as shit that no one sees

I just wanna be your telephone oo oo

Doo do do doo doo doo

Doo do do doo doo

I just wanna be your telephone oo oo

Doo do do doo doo doo

Doo do do doo doo

Charge me up, turn me on

I love it when you use me all night long

Kiss This Love Goodbye lyrics - James Blunt

My one, true love,

You can guess what I've been thinking of?

God knows, we've tried

To stay together while our hearts divided

Put my boxes in the hall

I leave my keys behind

It might not be the end but now

Oh it's time, to kiss this love goodbye

To kiss this love goodbye

You get, our friends

I will find a little place to rent

Out here now, doing fine

And I'll pretend you never crossed my mind

So take my photo off the wall

And renovate your life

One day we might meet but now

Oh it's time

To kiss this love goodbye

To kiss this love goodbye

I give you back your life

Darling please don't cry

Just put my boxes in the hall

I leave my keys behind

It might not be the end

But now its time

To kiss this love goodbye

To kiss this love goodbye

My one, true love,

You can guess what I've been thinking of?

Hollywood lyrics - James Blunt

She's gone Hollywood on me

She thinks every one's watching

And it's all about drugs and money

And the back door when she leaves

Who'd you think you are?

You're just a little fish in a sea of sharks

From the past you're hiding

And you don't want to be reminded

No, you don't even know what you want, know what you got, no

I don't even think that I want what's left of your heart

I used to think that I can make you happy then you go and throw it right back at me

No, you don't even know what you want, know what you got

She's got her dreams from the TV

But they don't include me

It's like all we have been through means nothing

And there's nothing left to see

Who do you think you are? Feels like I don't know you anymore

We used to be friends and lovers

And I miss that most of all

No, you don't even know what you want, know what you got, no

I don't even think that I want what's left of your heart

I used to think that I can make you happy then you go and throw it right back at me

No, you don't even know what you want, know what you got

All you need is star on an arm and a picture to show your friends

Sweet nothings to look bitter and

No, you don't even know what you want, know what you got, no

I don't even think that I want what's left of your heart

I used to think that I can make you happy then you go and throw it right back at me

No, you don't even know what you want, know what you got

No, you don't even know what you want, know what you got

No, I don't even think that I want what's left of your heart

I used to think that I can make you happy

Then you go and throw it right back at me

No, you don't even know what you want, know what you got

Next Time I'm Seventeen lyrics - James Blunt

It was the year of '91

Freddy Mercury was gone

And Nevermind was playing on our radios

We were only 17

I would park out on your street

Wait for dark to see you climbing out your window

Something's gone wrong with the weather

There's a storm out in the desert

But to us that all seemed very far away

Sometimes, when I

Think about those days it makes me wonder

What went by

Oh yeah, left me breathless

She was so damn wild

Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Oh)

We were young and reckless

Too soon, out of time

Next time I'm 17

I won't be left behind

She would still be mine

She would still be mine

While the Iron Curtain fell

We were lying in a field

Shared the gin and cigarettes I'd stolen from my dad

We both knew what would happen next

In my cherry red AX

Did she know she was the best I'd ever had

Said we'd always be together

That we'd stay this way forever

The future seemed so very far away

Sometimes, when I

Think about those days it makes me wonder

What went by

Oh yeah, left me breathless

She was so damn wild

Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Oh)

We were young and reckless

Too soon, out of time

Next time I'm 17

I won't be left behind

She would still be mine

You must be married now

In some suburban house

Are you happy now?

Do you ever think back to those times?

It was so innocent

Do you ever meet me in your mind?

Oh yeah, she left me breathless

She was so damn wild

Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives

We were young and reckless

Too soon, out of time

Next time I'm 17

I won't be left behind

And she would still be mine

(Oh yeah, she was)

She'd still be mine

(Sometimes)

Still be mine

(Best days of our lives)

We were young and reckless

Too soon, out of time

Next time I'm 17

I won't be left behind

She would still be mine

Heroes lyrics - James Blunt

You can see it on her face

Her red eyes say she's not safe

How should she know what it means

She is only just thirteen

Under her duvet's where she hides

To block the screaming late at night

She can't remember life before

Mama and Daddy went to war

Poor little girl's so full of confusion

Cry all you want cause you're only human

Was all the love just an illusion?

Daddy's not coming home

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Fly before the guilty clip your wings

Cause all your heroes

Are skin and bones

Packed the small bag of things she loves

Deep inside she blames herself

She has nowhere else to go

But that sounds better than what she knows

And as she steps into the dark

Dirty hair and heavy heart

Cold, cold air inside her lungs

Catch a snowflake on her tongue

Poor little girl's so full of confusion

Cry all you want cause you're only human

Was all the love just an illusion?

Daddy's not coming home

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Fly before the guilty clip your wings

Cause all your heroes

Are skin and bones

And as I heard you shut the door

Went to the window and I saw

The footsteps of my big sister in the snow

Since then not a single day has passed

When I don't say your name and ask

Where, where did you go?

Poor little girl's so full of confusion

Cry all you want cause you're only human

Was all the love just an illusion?

Daddy's not coming home

Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey

Promise that won't be you when you're 50

Fly before the guilty clip your wings

Cause all your heroes

Are skin and bones

Smoke Signals lyrics - James Blunt

One by one they pass me by

And I've used up my supplies

Out of water, out of hope

Can't make fire, only smoke

Here I am alone in silence

Castaway on a desert island

A traveller in an ocean lost at sea

Smoke signals in the night sky

Hope you see them as you pass by

I'm screaming from the cliff top

You're the only one I've got to rescue me, to rescue me

Why can't you see? Why can't you see?

I don't think that I'll survive

I'll die here without you

Oh, I can't live without you

The sun comes up, the sun goes down

Wonder if I'll ever be found?

Here I am alone in silence

Castaway on a desert island

A traveller in an ocean lost at sea

Smoke signals in the night sky

Hope you see them as you pass by

I'm screaming from the cliff top

You're the only one I've got to rescue me, to rescue me

Why can't you see? Why can't you see?

I don't think that I'll survive

I'll die here without you

Oh, I can't live without you

Smoke signals in the night sky

Hope you see them as you pass by

I'm screaming from the cliff top

You're the only one I've got to rescue me, to rescue me

Why can't you see? Why can't you see?

I don't think that I'll survive

I'll die here without you

Oh, I can't live without you

When I Find Love Again lyrics - James Blunt

Hey yo

Where can I go, when all the roads I take they never lead me home

Hey yo

I miss you so, but I'm used to seeing people come and go

Yeah, I've made mistakes

Next time, I swear I'll change

When I find love again, when I find love again

I'll be much better than the man I used to be

When I find love again, when I find love again

I'll have a better plan for us

Hey yo

I'm not ashamed, 'cause everybody has a heart that's made to break

Hey yo

Don't be afraid, 'cause you're only getting stronger from the pain

Yeah I've made mistakes

Next time, I swear I'll change

When I find love again, when I find love again

I'll be much better than the man I used to be

When I find love again, when I find love again

I'll have a better plan for us

Yeah, you and me

Yeah, I've made mistakes

Next time, I swear I'll change

When I find love again, when I find love again

I'll be much better than the man I used to be

When I find love again, when I find love again

I'll have a better plan for us

Yeah, you and me

When I find love again, when I find love again

I'll be much better than the man I used to be

When I find love again, when I find love again

I'll have a better plan for us

When I find love again, when I find love again

I'll be much better than the man I used to be

When I find love again, when I find love again

I'll have a better plan for us

Breathe lyrics - James Blunt

Take this bloody war of mine away

I'm lost for words to say

Will they greet me at dawn?

Take these muddy thoughts that are my walls

I'm not ready for the call

That will greet me at dawn

I just take what someone wants

Race when I'm in front

Break what I don't need

It's nice to watch somebody breathe

On me now, I am tired of my own

Now come sit next to me

I'm not sleeping with the bride to be

And I thank you very much

I am flattered by the touch

When you say that you're in love with me

Because I sat here for eternity

No wife and no family

Wasting' time like it just doesn't matter very much

So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe on me now

I am tired of my own

Race me to the horror at the end

I've lost myself again

In the mirror of my past

Let me, let me scratch at my own skin

I'm dying to get in

To the mirror of my past

I just take what someone wants

Race when I'm in front

Break what I don't need

It's nice to watch somebody breathe

On me now, I am tired of my own

Now come sit next to me

I'm not sleeping with the bride to be

And I thank you very much

I am flattered by the touch

When you say that you're in love with me

And I sat here for eternity

No wife and no family

Wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much

So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe on me

I am tired of my own

Won't you breathe on me

I am tired of my own

Now come sit next to me

I'm not sleeping with the bride to be

And I thank you very much

I am flattered by the touch

When you say that you're in love with me

And I sat here for eternity

No wife and no family

Wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much

So I'm happy for the company

And I sat here for eternity

No wife and no family

Wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much

So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe on me now

I am tired of my own

And won't you breathe on me now

I am tired of my own

Trail Of Broken Hearts lyrics - James Blunt

Someone, be my witness that she walked away

Said I said things that I didn't say

Broke my heart and said

She don't love me, she don't love me

And someone, woohoo, see the side of her that I can see

How all she is is just a fantasy

Damn my pride and said

She don't love me, she don't love me

Watch as she goes, past Hollywood Bowl

La Cienega cries, as she passes by

Her ex-lovers claim, it was different for them

She's leaving a trail of broken hearts

Curtains will close at the Hollywood Bowl

The pain that she hides, is in black and white

She said, baby it's hard, when you burn like a star

She's leaving a trail of broken hea-a-a-a-arts

Someone, someone else will know I tell the truth

The trail of hearts is all you need for proof

I'm not the first who's heard

She don't love them, she don't love them

And sometimes, woohoo, sometimes I wish that I could see her again

Oh god it hurt but she was beautiful when

She held my hand and said

She don't love me, she don't love me

Watch as she goes, past Hollywood Bowl

La Cienega cries, as she passes by

Her ex-lovers claim, it was different for them

She's leaving a trail of broken hearts

Curtains will close at the Hollywood Bowl

The pain that she hides, is in black and white

She said, baby it's hard, when you burn like a star

She's leaving a trail of broken hea-a-a-a-arts

There's nothing you can do about it

There's nothing you can say

Watch as she goes, past Hollywood Bowl

La Cienega cries, as she passes by

Her ex-lovers claim, it was different for them

She's leaving a trail of broken hearts

Curtains will close at the Hollywood Bowl

The pain that she hides, is in black and white

She said, baby it's hard, when you burn like a star

She's leaving a trail of broken hea-a-a-a-arts

Woohoo, she said, baby it's hard, when you burn like a star

She's leaving a trail of broken hea-a-a-a-arts

Working It Out lyrics - James Blunt

I've been waiting for the sky to fall

For so long, for so long

I admit that before I know it all

I've been wrong, so wrong

I've worn so many faces

All the colors I've been when I'm with you

I wish I could switch places

With the one that you give your heart to

I'm still working it out

What I'm doing without

You I'm lost, that's what I've found

I'm hopeless and I need you now

Had my head in the clouds

My dreams watered down

It's not until you're not around

That I know that I need you now

I'm still working it out

What I'm doing without

You I'm lost, that's what I've found

I'm hopeless and I need you now

Had my head in the clouds

My dreams watered down

It's not until you're not around

That I know that I need you now

I've been waiting for a miracle

Since I was young, since I was young

What I had I didn't recognize

'Til it's gone, 'til it's gone

I've worn so many faces

All the colors I've been when I'm with you

I wish I could switch places

With the one that you give your heart to

I'm still working it out

What I'm doing without

You I'm lost, that's what I've found

I'm hopeless and I need you now

Had my head in the clouds

My dreams watered down

It's not until you're not around

That I know that I need you now

I'm still working it out

What I'm doing without

You I'm lost, that's what I've found

I'm hopeless and I need you now

Had my head in the clouds

My dreams watered down

It's not until you're not around

That I know that I need you now

I've worn so many faces

All the colors I've been when I'm with you

I tried to fill the spaces

All the pieces still don't add up to you

I'm still working it out

What I'm doing without

You I'm lost, that's what I've found

I'm hopeless and I need you now

Had my head in the clouds

My dreams watered down

It's not until you're not around

That I know that I need you now

I'm still working it out

What I'm doing without

You I'm lost, that's what I've found

I'm hopeless and I need you now

Had my head in the clouds

My dreams watered down

It's not until you're not around

That I know that I need you now

I'm still working it out

I'm still working it out

I'm still working it out

I'm still working it out

Ooh, I'm still working it out

Adrenaline lyrics - James Blunt

I was so unprepared

Forgive me if I stop and stare

Like my first lung of air

I was here, and you were there

You're hitting me harder than a million goodbyes

And this isn't a heart attack, but I feel it inside

Like a shot straight to my heart

Adrenaline, adrenaline

Like a flashbang in the dark

Adrenaline, adrenaline

I take just one look at you

And I think I'm bulletproof

When you hold me in your arms

Adrenaline, adrenaline

It's all a blur, and coloured lines

Two bodies moving, but just one mind

You cut me open from inside out

You lift me up, and knock me down

You're hitting me harder than a million goodbyes

And this isn't a heart attack, but I feel it inside

Like a shot straight to my heart

Adrenaline, adrenaline

Like a flashbang in the dark

Adrenaline, adrenaline

I take just one look at you

And I think I'm bulletproof

When you hold me in your arms

Adrenaline, adrenaline

And I don't care if I overdose

Till I'm comatose

I don't care, I don't care

Let me stare till I overload

There's no antidote

I don't care, I don't care

Like a shot straight to my heart

Adrenaline, adrenaline

Like a flashbang in the dark

Adrenaline, adrenaline

I take just one look at you

And I think I'm bulletproof

When you hold me in your arms

Adrenaline, adrenaline

Like a shot straight to my heart

Adrenaline, adrenaline

Like a flashbang in the dark

Adrenaline, adrenaline

I take just one look at you

And I think I'm bulletproof

When you hold me in your arms

Adrenaline, adrenaline

Alright Tonight lyrics - James Blunt

If you want to you can stick around

'Cause its alright, tonight

She said "I will stay here, stay with you

'Cause you're alright, tonight."

And I, I hoped that things would turn

Out my way 'cause she's alright, tonight

She said "This is fun, this is good, yes

It's alright, it's alright."

Do you want this one night stand?

Let's take a risk and go play in the sand

You can leave that ring on your finger

I'm a sinner, you're the winner, I am too

We made out now, we made up, yeah

We made love for the world cup I said

I want things I've never had before

She said "Alright, tonight."

So we entered heaven to accept our fate

And to sum it up baby, it was great, yeah

It's not often that I see the light

But it's - it's alright, it's alright

Do you want this one night stand?

Let's take a risk go play in the sand

You can leave that ring on your finger

I'm a sinner, you're the winner, I am too

Here she comes again now

Here she comes again now

Here we go again now

Do you want this one night stand

Do you want this one night stand

Do you want this one night stand

(All right all right)

Do you want this one night stand?

Let's take a risk go play in the sand

You can leave that ring on your finger

I'm a sinner, you're the winner, I am too

I'm a sinner, you're the winner, I am too

I'm a sinner, you're the winner, I am too

It's alright [15x]

You can leave that ring on your finger

I'm a sinner, you're the winner, I am too

Don't Go lyrics - James Blunt

I was with this girl

In my bedroom

She was eating such wild chocolate

Didn't leave me much shared room

Its name I couldn't see

But she gave it to me

I lost my head

I started singing

Only the crumbliest

Flakiest chocolate yeah

Taste like chocolate never tasted before

Only the crumbliest

Flakiest chocolate yeah

Taste like chocolate never tasted before

Then I was gone

In a world of my own

Feels like electricity is

Running through every bone

My girl and me

We're living free yeah

On the crumbliest milk chocolate in the world

We were singing

Only the crumbliest

Flakiest chocolate yeah

Taste like chocolate never tasted before

And only the crumbliest

Flakiest chocolate

Taste like chocolate never tasted before

Halfway (Remix) lyrics - James Blunt (feat. Ward Thomas)

Nobody drives to the middle of nowhere

Just to turn around, to turn around (Hey)

Nobody sleeps in the middle of the bed

When they got someone else, someone else (Hey)

And nobody walks up the stairway to heaven

Just to walk back down

'Cause it's there or it's not

It's heartbreak or it's love

There's no such thing as halfway

You're in or outta luck

We made it or we lost

There's no such thing as halfway (Hey)

Nobody's searching for the middle of the rainbow

To find the gold, to find the gold (Hey)

Nobody sails to the middle of the ocean

And calls it home, calls it home (Hey)

And nobody stands in the middle of the dance floor

To dance alone

'Cause it's there or it's not

It's heartbreak of it's love

There's no such thing as halfway

You're in or outta luck

We made it or we lost

There's no such thing as halfway

Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah

(Hey)

So here we are in this halfway house

There's no way in and there's no way out

If you stay or if you go

I don't care, just let me know

If you feel it, do you feel it?

'Cause it's there or it's not

It's heartbreak or it's love

There's no such thing as halfway

You're in or outta luck

We made it or we lost

There's no such thing as halfway

(Hey, yeah)

There's no such thing as halfway

(Hey, yeah)

There's no such thing as halfway

(Hey)

I Came For Love lyrics - James Blunt

Stepped out together

Into the dark

Yeah, we believed in

The two of us

I heard a countdown

I saw the stars

And for a moment

The dream was ours

Things may go wrong, yeah

You might turn back

We all have reasons

And mine is that

I came for love

I came for love

It might be a little broken

But I'll never give it up

I came for love

I came for love

I'll believe it lasts forever

If you tell me that it does

I had had a fever

And fell behind

You said the sickness

Is in my mind

And if I failed you

Well, at least we tried

We both had reasons

And you were mine

I came for love

I came for love

It might be a little broken

But I'll never give it up

I came for love

I came for love

I'll believe it lasts forever

If you tell me that it does

And you've been so far and I will pull you close

You will feel my love through time and space

And if it all should end and we should turn to dust

This will still be it for all our sake

I came for love

I came for love

It might be a little broken

But I'll never give it up

I came for love

I came for love

I'll believe it lasts forever

If you tell me that it does

I came for love

I came for love

It might be a little broken

But I'll never give it up

I came for love

I came for love

I'll believe it lasts forever

If you tell me that it does

Love Under Pressure lyrics - James Blunt

I gave it all

But it's not enough

I feel it all

Too much

I reach for the stars

But they let me down

I play the game

And you always knew

That I couldn't play

Without you

Yeah, I hate to lose

I'm just too proud

But I'm not giving up, no

This time around

Can't believe we're giving up (Love under pressure)

We only need the two of us (Love under pressure)

I feel your pain from my mistakes

It's how it breaks

This love's under pressure

Have we lost our senses?

Are we going mad?

What happened here

Is too sad

I bleed for a dream

But it's not mine to have

Where did you go

Without a care?

You didn't show

I'm still there

Yeah, how can it be?

You do the maths

The fire that burned

Has turned into ash, so

Can't believe we're giving up (Love under pressure)

We only need the two of us (Love under pressure)

I feel your pain from my mistakes

It's how it breaks

This love's under pressure

Can't believe we're giving up (Love under pressure)

We only need the two of us (Love under pressure)

I feel your pain from my mistakes

It's how it breaks

This love's under pressure

This love's under pressure

This love's under pressure

This love's under pressure

I can't believe we're giving up (Love under pressure)

We only need the two of us (Love under pressure)

I feel your pain from my mistakes

It's how it breaks

This love's under pressure

Unstoppable lyrics - James Blunt

Take me back to where we started

That was such a moment back when we were 17

There in your skinny jeans, darling

It's funny how the summer passes

We won't let our love just fade into a memory fall

With the autumn leaves, darling

We get down, we get up

We keep taking the smooth with the rough

We can rise from the dust now

'Cause I don't believe in impossible

We got a love unstoppable

With you beside me, I'm too high to fall

This kind of love's unstoppable

I hold you when the nights grow colder

Even when the wind blows wild

And tomorrow don't seem what you thought it would be, yeah

We both know the ties between us

Keep us going strong now

Well, two light around

We never had a doubt, yeah

We get down, we get up

We keep taking the smooth with the rough

We can rise from the dust now

'Cause I don't believe in impossible

We got a love unstoppable

With you beside me, I'm too high to fall

This kind of love's unstoppable

We still run like

We still move like

There's nothing in our way

Now come whatever

Here forever

No time won't break the chain

I know you and you know me

You know our dream is not done

Take my hand for one last dance

We'll find our setting sun

'Cause I don't believe in impossible

We got a love unstoppable

With you beside me, I'm too high to fall

This kind of love's unstoppable

A love unstoppable

(Yeah, we got a, yeah, we got a)

A love unstoppable

(Yeah, we got a, yeah, we got a)

A love unstoppable

(Yeah, we got a, yeah, we got a)

A love unstoppable

A love unstoppable

Walk Away lyrics - Alle Farben & James Blunt

The last thing I recall

Was a question in my head

Some things we said don't make any sense

I can make myself real small

Pretend I'm somewhere else

Leave you for a moment, but there's no escape from myself

I wake up with sunlight in my eyes

And finally as the sleep clears from my mind

And once again I realize

You still got nothing left to say except fall back on "I love you"

Just 'cause you say, just 'cause you say

There's too much water on the flames

You can't rekindle what remains

Oh darling, walk away

Just 'cause you say, just 'cause you say

You love me, that don't make it true

Because I've never seen the proof

And we should walk away (Just walk away)

And we should walk away (Just walk away)

I can ask you, "How's your day?"

I can sit with practiced warmth

Then we'll lie down again in this bed of thorns

And we cross paths like ghosts in the hallway

This beauty that I don't see, the beauty in before me

An example of a flower that's faded

We're crazy to use phrases like, "I love you"

Just 'cause you say, just 'cause you say

There's too much water on the flames

You can't rekindle what remains

Oh darling, walk away

Just 'cause you say, just 'cause you say

You love me, that don't make it true

Because I've never seen the proof

And we should walk away (Just walk away)

And we should walk away (Just walk away)

And we should walk away (Just walk away)

Where Is My Mind? lyrics - James Blunt

(originally by Pixies)

With your feet in the air

And your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it

Your head will collapse

And there's nothing in it

So you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Way out in the water

See it swimmin'

Well I was swimmin' in the Caribbean

Animals were hiding behind a rock

Except the little fish

And they told me I should ask myself

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Way out in the water

See it swimmin'

With your feet in the air

And your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah

Your head will collapse

And there's nothing in it

So you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Way out in the water

See it swimmin'

Stay The Night Lyrics – James Blunt

Ooooooh, Oooooooh, Ooooooh, hey!

It’s 72 degrees
Zero chance of rain
It’s been a perfect day
We’re all spinning on our heels
So far away from real
In California

We watched the sunset from our car
We all took it in
And by the time that it was dark
You and me had something, yeah!

And if this is what we’ve got
Then what we’ve got is gold
We’re shining bright and I want you
I want you to know

The morning’s on it’s way
Our friends all say goodbye
There’s nowhere else to go
I hope that you’ll stay the night
Ooooooh, you'll stay the night
Ooooooh, yeah!

We’ve been singing Billie Jean
Mixin’ vodka with caffeine
We’ve got strangers stopping by
And though you’re out of tune
Girl you blow my mind, you do
And all I’ll say is I don’t wanna say good night

There’s no quiet corner
To get to know each other
Then there’s no hurry
I’m a patient man as you'll discover

Cause if this is what we’ve got
Then what we’ve got is gold
We’re shining bright and I want you
I want you to know

The morning’s on it’s way
Our friends all say goodbye
There’s nowhere else to go
I hope that you’ll stay the night
Ooooooh, you'll stay the night
Ooooooh, yeah!

Just like the song on our radio set
We’ll share the shelter of my single bed
But it’s a different tune that’s stuck in my head
And it goes...

If this is what we’ve got
Then what we’ve got is gold
We’re shining bright and I want you
I want you to know

The morning’s on it’s way
Our friends all say goodbye
There’s nowhere else to go
I hope that you’ll stay the night

If this is what we’ve got
Then what we’ve got is gold
We’re shining bright and I want you
I want you to know

The morning’s on it’s way
Our friends all say goodbye
There’s nowhere else to go
I hope that you’ll stay the night

Dangerous Lyrics – James Blunt

I'll be standing in the corner
Just watching her slaughter them
See you all go wild
I've been dipping in my finger
Testing out the water
See you on the other side

[Chorus]
She is dangerous, she is dangerous, I'm sure (woah)
And she's all dressed up and knocking at my door (woah)
She is dangerous, she is dangerous, I know (woah)
But she's got my heart and she's never letting go

I'll be hanging on your heartache
Enough rope for my sake and losing everytime
I'll be wrapped around your finger, let the moment linger
See you on the other side

[Chorus]

And we all get a taste for blood tonight
Coz we've all had a taste of love
And we all get a taste for blood tonight
For love

[Chorus]

Best Laid Plans Lyrics – James Blunt

You don't like it in the shadows
but you won't let me shine a light
I would wash away your troubles
But it seems
The more that I hold on
The more that you let go
And I know, you better let somebody love you
or find yourself, on your own

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

If we don't talk about the future
Then should I just, follow you into the dark
Yeah, and does your silence keep you cold
While the cracks form on my heart

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

It seems to me some fine friends have watched you turn your back
It seems you only want the things that you can't have.

Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end,
the way I meant

So Far Gone Lyrics – James Blunt

Tell me the wars you're fighting
Behind the smile you're hiding
All the things I know you want to say

We tried our best to find us
But there are no lights to guide us
I can't sleep beside a stranger now

Piece by piece we fall apart
With every beat slows down my heart

[Chorus]
So I'll just say what you won't say
and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save

So far gone
Yeah, we're so far gone

I've tried hard to remember
This prison cell used to be a shelter
Now we're just looking for the best way out
I can't fight you anymore
You're already one foot out the door

[Chorus]
So I'll just say what you won't say
and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save

So far gone,
yeah we're so far gone

And this is the face of letting go
And these are things we already know

So I'll say what you won't say
and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save

so far gone
we're so far gone

So I'll say what you won't say
and I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save

So far gone,
yes we're so far gone
yes we're so far gone
So I'll just what you won't say

No Tears Lyrics – James Blunt

Don't I know it? Nobody has to say
I've been lucky. Guess I was born that way.
I thank my father, his absence has made me strong.
And I love my mother but she had troubles with God.

[CHORUS:]
No tears for the life that you've led
You've had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end
All the things that you've seen
All the things that could have been
Well I've been everything I want to be
So, no tears, no tears for me

Yeah, I've bathed in sunshine but cherished the fading light
And I heard my heartbeat faulter on a winter's night
I loved a woman but she didn't hear my prayers
So Lord, oh Lord, I'm yours
No tears

[CHORUS]

Cause someone somewhere's going home tonight
Trying to understand the sacrifice
So save your tears for those left behind

[CHORUS]

Superstar Lyrics – James Blunt

There is an empty space in the chair tonight
Cause he don't feel right
There are stormclouds brewing at the back of his mind
As he steps outside

He will be twenty in a week
But he's old for his years
He's had many of those
To confront his own fears

But his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be
And his mother isn't growing old gracefully

He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar
Cause reality tv killed them all in america
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are

There is an empty space between the lines tonight
And it burns so bright
And the angry silence that he throws on the floor
Says he don't care anymore

He had money for the truth
But love's a lot more
And the answer's is not the one he was looking for
His father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be
And his mother is his mother reluctantly

He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar
Cause reality tv killed them all in america
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are

He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar
Cause reality tv killed them all in america
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are

These Are The Words Lyrics – James Blunt

Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town
We were sweethearts from college she was always around
We were good for each other but some things they just don't work out

There were tears in my eyes when she walked away
We had plans to get married some day
But the promises were broken before they were even made:

Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

Tender was my lover, god I miss her embrace
And I wonder who it is that puts a smile on her face
I recall the way she feels and oh I recall the way she tastes
If I could hold her now then all that I'd see'd
remind me of childhood memories
She was the first day of summer, yeah that girl, that girl's for me

Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

And these are the words that I say to your picture
These are the words that I say in a dream
These are the words that I wish I'd said to you
when you were standing here next to me

Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

Oooh now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

Calling Out Your Name Lyrics – James Blunt

Well you can stand there waiting for a rainy day
Close up your heart and hide your dancing shoes away
And cut yourself with your mistakes
Leave all hope lying in a line of chalk
Everything you need is disguised in double talk
So wound yourself and let it ache

But if you're waiting for something to bring you round

[Chorus]
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
Lift your head up high
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
Lift your head up high

It's all little pieces till there's nothing left
All just debris of your former self
Just take a breath for your own sake
And if you're waiting for something to bring you round

[Chorus]

And are you caught between the lines
Did no one see you fall behind

[Chorus]

Heart Of Gold Lyrics – James Blunt

This time her mind is made up
Yeah, she's moving on
Tonight her spirit's crushed
It's 'cause she don't belong

Maybe she thinks too much
She thinks she's given enough
Only now they'll know she's got a heart of gold
Always looking for love
She's beginning to think she's cursed
On her looks she judged
By the folks at work

She don't care for fashion and fame
Those kind of people they are all the same
One day they'll know, she's got a heart of gold

And she sings, I want to know what love is
But it seems to come with so much pain
If no one wants to show me
It seems easier just to run away
When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul

But God he knows, I got a heart of gold
Been coming 'round here
Since she's a little girl
But now the change is clear
We live in a cynical world

She don't care for fashion and fame, no
Those kind of people they are all the same
They don't wanna know, she's got a heart of gold

And she sings, I want to know what love is
But it seems to come with so much pain
If no one wants to show me
It seems easier just to run away
When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul
But God he knows, I got a heart of gold

To see her footsteps in the snow

And she sings, I want to know what love is
But it seems to come with so much pain
If no one wants to show me
It seems easier just to run away
When I am gone it's just a penny for my soul
But God he knows, I got a heart of gold

I'll Be Your Man Lyrics – James Blunt

Too many voices
Too many noises
Invisible wires keeping us apart
So many choices
Some disappointments
And they only steal me away from you
Climb into our private bubble
Let's get into all kinds of trouble

[Chorus]
Slide over here let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
So girl stop your talking
Words just get in the way
I'll be your man

So baby come over
From the end of the sofa
I'll be your man
I'll be your man

So many faces
Staring at their shoelaces
When all anyone want is to be seen
Well tonight let's be honest
We all want to be wanted
And darlin' you've got me wantin' you
Everything that I'm trying to say
Just sounds like a worn out cliche, so...

[Chorus]

What are we all looking for?
Someone we just can't ignore
It's real love dripping from my heart,
You've got me tripping
What are we all looking for?
Ooooooh....

[Chorus]

If Time Is All I Have Lyrics – James Blunt

When you wake up
Turn the radio on
And you'll hear this simple song

That I made up
That I made up for you

When you're driving
Turn the radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
Hard these days
To get my message through

If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

When you marry
And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up, that it isn't me

When you're older
The memories fade
But I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live

But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name

But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

Won't you say my name
When the song is over

Turn Me On Lyrics – James Blunt

I'm a boy and she's a girl
And we're gonna do this around the world
Catch her heart and count to five
And remember everybody dies you know,

I'm not her friend no, not second best
I'll send her home unless they're both in it
Together having had both of each other
That's my kinda party!
That's my kinda party!

I'm a boy and she's a girl
And we've all known this around the world
Around the world
Around the world
Around the world

So, why get complicated?
You know you wanna turn me on.
Why get complicated?
You know wanna turn me on.

Underwater, with someone's daughter
Gonna make you a dirty woman!
And when we both hold it together

And both in each other
That's my kinda party!
That's my kinda party!

I'm a boy and she's a girl
And we're all doing this around the world
Around the world
Around the world
Around the world

So, why get complicated?
You know you wanna turn me on.
Why get complicated
You know you wanna turn me on.

Why get complicated?
You know you wanna turn me on.
Why get complicated?
You know you wanna turn me on.
Why get complicated?
You know you wanna turn me on.
Why get complicated?
You know you wanna turn me on.

There She Goes Again Lyrics – James Blunt

When she holds on to me
It’s clear to see,
It’s difficult.
(Didn’t I know it)

First time I’ve chosen to open up,
Not broken up
It’s typical.
(Didn’t I know it)

For all the reasons I’ve told myself
“Find something else”
She’s serious
(Didn’t I know it)

All the heartfelt words we found
I’m coming ‘round
They’re meaningless
(Didn’t I know it)

Wo-oah

[Chorus]
She’s taken what she wants
But she wants everything
There she goes, there she goes
Well there she goes again

Knows how to turn it on
Yeah but not for long
It’s physical, physical
Then it don’t mean a thing

I know better than to think
She’s standing still
Dressed to kill
Well there she goes again

How many hearts that she thrown aside?
So finding mine
Should be no surprise
(Didn’t I know it)

I needed her like she knew I would
And it hurt so good
She’s satisfied
(Didn’t I know it)

It means nothing to hold or kiss
‘Cause she’s done this
A thousand times

Wo-oah

[Chorus]

I know better than to think
She’s standing still
Just to thrill
Well there she goes again

Wo-oah
Wo-oah

There she goes again
There she goes again
Didn’t I know

[Chorus]

I know better than to think
She’s standing still
Just to thrill
Didn’t I know

[Chorus]

I know better than to think
She’s standing still
Just to thrill
Well there she goes again.

Into The Dark Lyrics – James Blunt

Love is madness that's quick to burn
And lying in the embers is where we are
And if my promise is unreturned
Before the day is over I will depart

If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark

Love is blindness I cannot see
Underneath our roots are tangled and buried deep
When the leaves have fallen from the trees
Do we grow together entirely

If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark

If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark

This Love Again Lyrics – James Blunt

Haven't you looked around.
You could have anyone.
So why would you look at me,
And feel any sympathy,
When all the world can see,
You're breaking me gently?

Cause this love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Oh, I missed love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Don't cut me, just to hear me screaming your name,
there's a million ways I can feel less pain,
so why oh why is it this love that I've been dying for?

So lay me down again
Watch what you've broken mend
Don't sharpen your tongue my dear
Cause your words are killing me
And making my heart burst
Is more than my blood is worth.

Yeah this love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Oh, I missed love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Don't cut me, just to hear me screaming your name,
there's a million ways I can feel less pain,
so why oh why is it this love that I've been dying for?

This love, I've been dying for this love, again.
Oh, I missed love. I've been dying for this love, again.
Don't cut me, just to hear me screaming your name,
there's a million ways I can feel less pain,
so why oh why is it this love that I've been dying for?

"All The Lost Souls" (2007)

1973 Lyrics – James Blunt

Simone
You're getting older
Your journey's been
Etched on your skin

Simone
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
Has been and gone

[Chorus:]
I would call you up every Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

Simone
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone

Simone
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song

[Chorus x3]

And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973

One Of The Brightest Stars Lyrics – James Blunt

One day your story will be told.
One of the lucky ones who's made his name.
One day they'll make you glorious,
Beneath the lights of your deserved fame.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
One day they'll tell you that you've changed,
Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare.
One day you'll hope to make the grave,
Before the papers choose to send you there.
And it all comes round.
Once in a lifetime like it always does.
Nobody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance,
Out on a dance to the moon, too soon.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars.
And they'll say told you so.
We were the ones who saw you first of all.
We always knew that you were one of the brightest

I'll Take Everything Lyrics – James Blunt

Oh these feet carry me far. Oh my body. Oh so tired.
Mouth is dry. Hardly speak. Holy Spirit rise in me.
Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me.
I'll take everything in this life.
I'll join everyone when I die.
Have my body. Have my mind. Have my coat. Take my time.
These I borrow. Borrow so far. Turn to dust. Fall apart.
Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me.
I'll take everything in this life.
I'll join everyone and understand.
'Cause all men die. 'Cause all men die.
I'll take everything in this life
I'll join everyone since I'm gonna die
I'll take everything in this life
I'll join everyone 'cause all men die

Same Mistake Lyrics – James Blunt

Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet.
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go.
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.
And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
Said he'd seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Don't buy the promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go.
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake,
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars.
Look at the stars fall down.
And wonder where did I go wrong.

Carry You Home Lyrics – James Blunt

Trouble is her only friend and he's back again.
Makes her body older than it really is.
She says it's high time she went away,
No one's got much to say in this town.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.
If she had wings she would fly away,
And another day God will give her some.
Trouble is the only way is down.
Down, down.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.
And they were all born pretty in New York City tonight,
And someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight,
Under the Stars and Stripes.
As strong as you were, tender you go.
I'm watching you breathing for the last time.
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet,
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.
I'll carry you home.

Give Me Some Love Lyrics – James Blunt

Me and my guitar play my way. It makes them frown.
But little pieces by the highway bring me down.
Mine is not a heart of stone, I am only skin and bone,
And those little pieces are little pieces of my own.
Why don't you give me some love?
I've taken ship-load of drugs.
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain.
Valium said to me,
I'll take you seriously,
And we'll come back as someone else,
Who's better than yourself.
Many faces at the doorway all hang round.
Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound.
So I'm standing all alone, and I'm only skin and bone.
So many faces but they all look out for their own.
Why don't you give me some love?
I've taken ship-load of drugs.
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain.
Valium said to me,
I'll take you seriously,
And we'll come back as someone else,
Who's better than yourself.
And some day soon they'll drop the bomb and let it all out. Someday.
I know that someday soon we'll all be gone so let it all out.
Let it all out today.
And give me some love,
Yeah, give me some love,
Come on, give me some love today.

I Really Want You Lyrics – James Blunt

Many prophets preach on bended knee. Many clerics wasted wine.
Do the bloodied sheets on those cobbled streets mean I have wasted time?
Are there silver shores on paradise? Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land, my enemy I'm told.
I really want you to really want me, but I really don't know if you can do that.
I know you want to know what's right but I know it's so hard for you to do that.
And time's running out as often it does, and often dictates that you can't do that.
But fate can't break this feeling inside that's burning up through my veins.
I really want you.
I really want you.
I really want you - now.
No matter what I say or do, the message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
I really want you.
I really want you.
Is a poor man rich in solitude, or will Mother Earth complain?
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day, but Lady Luck for rain?
They say a million people bow and scrape to an effigy of gold.
I saw life begin and the ship we're in and history unfold.
I really want you to really want me but I really don't know if you can do that.
I know you want to know what's right but I know it's so hard for you to do that.
And time's running out as often it does and often dictates that you can't do that.
But fate can't break this feeling inside that's burning up through my veins.
I really want you.
I really want you.
I really want you - now.
No matter what I say or do, the message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
No matter what I say or do, the message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound of my breaking heart.

Shine On Lyrics – James Blunt

Are they calling for our last dance?
I see it in your eyes. In your eyes.
Same old moves for a new romance.
I could use the same old lies, but I'll sing,
Shine on, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on.
So shine on. Just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves to the gods they made
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.
And when silence greets my last goodbye,
The words I need are in your eyes, and I'll sing.
Shine On, just, shine on!
Close your eyes and they'll all be gone.
They can scream and shout that they've been sold out,
But it paid for the cloud that we're dancing on.
So shine on. Just shine on!
With your smile just as bright as the sun.
'Cause they're all just slaves to the gods they made,
But you and I just shone.
Just shone.

Annie Lyrics – James Blunt

Annie, you had your name in the bright lights.
I thought I saw your photograph having such a laugh in a magazine,
Did it all come tumbling?
Annie, you were made for the big time.
They said you're a star to be in the NME,
But the walls came tumbling down, down. Will you go down on me?
'Cause Annie you're a star, that's just not going very far.
And all the world will know your name,
And you'll be famous as you are 'cause I'll sing for you.
Annie, would it be nice to be recognised?
And did you practise your autograph but now no one's asked and it's such a shame,
That the dreams are crumbling?
Annie, why aren't you bathed in the limelight?
'Cause I thought that you said you'd be a celebrity several years ago.
Did it all come tumbling down, down. Will you go down on me?
'Cause Annie you're a star, that's just not going very far.
And all the world will know your name,
And you'll be famous as you are 'cause I'll sing for you.

I Can't Hear The Music Lyrics – James Blunt

Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign?
Is it a people who have lost their mind?
Is it the Darkness? Is it a man resigned?
Is it a best friend leaving you behind?
Is it ever gonna stop? Will they ever let you go?
You're in a rush, they don't care enough 'cause their lives are very slow.
Time is ticking on. You don't get a second shot,
And when you sell your soul for a leading role, will The Lost Souls be forgot?
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone,
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the Lonely Hearts' Club Band will play out one last song,
Before the sun goes down.
And is it envy? Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realise you'd better get out quick?
'Cause time is ticking on too long to fake your smile,
But then you sold your soul for a leading role, so wear it for a while.
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone,
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the Lonely Hearts' Club Band will play out one last song,
Before the sun goes down,
And there she goes. And there she goes.
So run, Yoshimi, run. 'Cause Billy's got himself a gun,
And you're right to be afraid: they'll send you to your grave
'Cause you're strange and new.
So run, Yoshimi, run. 'Cause Billy's got himself a gun,
And you're right to be afraid: they'll send you to your grave
'Cause you're strange and new.
And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone, I'll dance.
