The Fray - How To Save A Life

Lyrics to How To Save A Life :

Step one you say we need to talk

He walks you say sit down it's just a talk

He smiles politely back at you

You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right

As he goes left and you stay right

Between the lines of fear and blame

You begin to wonder why you came

 

CHORUS:

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

 

Let him know that you know best

Cause after all you do know best

Try to slip past his defense

Without granting innocence

Lay down a list of what is wrong

The things you've told him all along

And pray to God he hears you

And pray to God he hears you

 

CHORUS:

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

 

As he begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you lose the road

Or break with the ones you've followed

He will do one of two things

He will admit to everything

Or he'll say he's just not the same

And you'll begin to wonder why you came

 

CHORUS:

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

 

CHORUS:

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

How to save a life

 

CHORUS:

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

 

CHORUS:

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

Marie Digby - Say it again

Thing about love, is I never saw it coming

You kinda crept up into me by surprise

And now there’se a voice inside my heart

That’s got me wondering

Is this true? I wanna hear it one more time

 

Move in a little closer

Take it to a whisper

Get just a little louder

Say it again for me

Cause i love the way it feels

When u are telling me that i’m the only one who blows ur mind

Say it again for me

It’s like the whole world start to listen

When u tell me u’re in love

Say it again

 

The thing about you is you know jus how to get me

You talk about us like there’se no end in sight

The thing about me is that i really wanna let you

Open the door and walk into my life

 

Move in a little closer

Take it to a whisper

Get just a little louder

Say it again for me

Cause i love the way it feels

When u are telling me that i’m the only one who blows ur mind

Say it again for me

It’s like the whole world start to listen

When u tell me u’re in love

 

And it feels like it the first time

That anybody’s ever brought the sun without the rain

And never in my whole life

Have i heard words as beautiful as when u say my name

 

Say it again for me

Cause i love the way it feels

When u are telling me that i’m the only one who blows ur mind

Say it again for me

It’s like the whole world start to listen

When u tell me u’re in love

Marie Digby - Miss Invisible

There's a girl

Who sits under the bleachers

Just another day eating alone

And though she smiles

There is something just hiding

And she cant find a way to relate

She just goes unnoticed

As the crowd passes by

And she'll pretend to be busy

When inside she just wants to cry

She'll say...

 

[Chorus]

Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible

Look a little closer, I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes

Take another look at the face of Miss Always Invisible

Look a little harder and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day

When you'll ask her her name

 

The beginning, in the first weeks of class

She did everything to try and fit in

But the others they couldn't seem to get past all the things that mismatched on the surface

And she would close her eyes when they left and she fell down the stairs

And the more that they joked

And the more that they screamed

She retreated to where she is now

And she'll sing...

 

[Chorus]

Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible

Look a little harder I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes

Take a little look at the face of Miss Always Invisible

Look a little closer and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day that you will ask her...her name

 

And one day just the same as the last

Just the days been in counting the time

Came a boy that sat under the bleachers just a little bit further behind

David Archuleta - My Kind Of Perfect

I was thinking about ya

I drew a little picture

But some things you cant put on paper

 

Like it like shooting stars?

I write songs on guitar

Got more things to do than stare at a mirror

 

I know, I know, she's gotta be out there, out there

I know I know she's gotta be...

 

[Chorus:]

Maybe I'm wrong

Maybe I'm right

Maybe I just let you walk by

What can I say

Maybe I've known you all my life

Is she the one? Is it today?

Will I turn the corner

See my future in a beautiful face

Maybe.

 

She's anything but typical

A sweet surprise

No matter what, she's looking at the bright side

 

It's gonna be worth it

Cause that's what love is

I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect

 

I know, I know, she's gotta be out there, out there

I know, I know, she's gotta be...

 

[Chorus:]

Maybe I'm wrong

Maybe I'm right

Maybe I just let you walk by

What can I say

Maybe I've known you all my life

Is she the one? Is it today?

Will I turn the corner

See my future in a beautiful face

Maybe.

 

They say give it time

Give it time, and it will fall in line

But I keep wondering how and when

And why I haven't met you

 

But maybe I'm wrong

Maybe I'm right

 

Is she the one? Is it today?

Will I turn the corner

See my future in a beautiful face

Maybe

 

Maybe I'm wrong

Maybe I'm right

Maybe I just let you walk by

What can I say

Maybe I've known you all my life

Is she the one? Is it today?

Will I turn the corner

See my future in a beautiful face

Maybe

 

I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect.

David Archuleta - Things Are Gonna Get Better

Yeeahh yeahhh

Mmmmm

Everybody's got a time in their life

When everything hurts and nothing's right

But you gotta walk on

Yeah, you gotta walk on

 

Everybody's got a piece of their heart

That's been stepped on and torn apart

But you gotta be strong on

Yeah, you gotta walk on

 

'Cause I know it's hard to have the strength

And sometimes you can’t get feel the day

But things just floating by like a river in the night

 

But I know things are gonna get better

I know things are gonna be fine

And I life is gonna get better

Standing here together

Yeah, we're gonna be fine

 

Everybody's got that one regret

No matter how they try, they can't forget

But you gotta move on

Yeah, you gotta move on

And everybody's got someone they've lost

And they can't believe they're really gone

But you gotta live on

Yeah, you gotta live on

 

'Cause I know it's hard to have the strength

And sometimes all you feel is pain

But times keep floating by on that river in the night

 

But I know things are gonna get better

I know things are gonna be fine

And I know life is gonna get better

Standing here together

Yeah, we're gonna be fine

 

I bring some hope

I see it in your eyes

So take me touch me

'Cause with a little bit of love

We can win the fight

With a little bit of love

We can see the light

With a little bit of love

It'll be all right

 

I know things are gonna get better

And I know things are gonna be fine

And I know life is gonna get better

Standing here together

Yeah, we're gonna be fine

 

Walk, walk, walk on by

Keep, keep, keep walking on

Keep, keep, keep walking on

David Archuleta - Complain

How many times have you said

If I just had one more

Dollar in my pocket

Know that I've felt the same

 

How many times have you dreamed

That you could pack up and leave

Just run away from the trouble

Baby, I can't complain

 

'Cause I don't always get everything I wanted

Doesn't turn out just the way I thought it

All should be

Baby, I can't complain

 

No more wasting my time looking in the mirror

Wishing my life was a little bit clearer

No way

Baby, I can't complain

 

No way, no way, no way

Baby, I can't complain

 

Have you ever believed

That it's just not your day

Like the world is against you

You know we've all felt that way

 

So far away from my home

And everything that I love

But as long as I'm breathing

Baby, I can't complain

 

'Cause I don't always get everything I wanted

Doesn't turn out just the way I thought it

All should be

Baby, I can't complain

 

No more wasting my time looking in the mirror

Wishing my life was a little bit clearer

No way

Baby, I can't complain

 

No way, no way, no way

Baby, I can't complain

No way, no way, no way

 

Any time, any minute now

We could fall, it could all crash down

But I'm not gonna ever live that way

No way

 

'Cause I don't always get everything I wanted

Doesn't turn out just the way I thought it

All should be

Baby, I can't complain

 

No more wasting my time looking in the mirror

Wishing my life was a little bit clearer

No way

Baby, I can't complain

 

No way, no way, no way

Baby, I can't complain

No way, no way, no way

Baby, I can't complain

David Archuleta - Good Place

 I don't know what I'm doing here

How I landed in this space

But it's a good place

 

And I don't wanna mess it up

Make mistakes or say too much

'Cause it's a good place

 

You find it

You hold it

You feel its grace

 

These are words I wanna say

Every hour of every day

These are words that say how good it feels

To be here with you today

I hope it's not too late (I hope it's not too late)

I hope it's not too late

 

I've been silent up to now

I've been going with the flow

Wherever that goes

 

But something's screaming down inside

Makes me want to close my eyes

And hear the echo

 

You find it

You know it

Don't make it wait

 

These are words I wanna say

Every hour of every day

These are words that say how good it feels

To be here with you today

I hope it's not too late

 

'Cause I don't wanna waste another summer

I don't wanna wait until I fall

I could be a memory tomorrow

I could be nothing at all

 

I don't know what I'm doing here

How I landed in this space

But it's a good place

 

These are words I wanna say

Every hour of every day

These are words that say how good it feels

To be here with you today

I hope it's not too late

 

Oh, yeah

I hope it's not too late

David Archuleta - Look Around

Keep on running

And you'll never get to feel the moment

It's like you're sleeping

'Cause you don't take the time to take it in

 

Like a trainwreck you're on a mission

Tunnel vision got you blinded

Better slow down before you lose ground

It will happen anyway

Paint it over if your world is grey

 

When you close your eyes to see the view

You'll miss everything surrounding you

Stop and just look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air

What you need will always be there

Stop and just look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around you

 

Oh oh oh, look around, look around

Oh oh oh, look around, look around

 

Shut the window tight

But it's raining on the inside

Do you realize you're getting nowhere

That it's all laid out for you?

Cut the ribbon if it starts to fray

 

When you close your eyes to see the view

You'll miss everything surrounding you

Stop and just look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air

What you need will always be there

Stop and just look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around you

 

Oh oh oh, look around, look around

Oh oh oh, look around, look around

 

You found a loop hole that you fell in

Now you're treading water

You gotta see the hand

For it to pull you out

 

When you close your eyes to see the view

You'll miss everything surrounding you

Stop and just look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air

What you need will always be there

Stop and just look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around

Get up and look around you

 

Oh oh oh, look around, look around

Oh oh oh, look around, look around

Oh oh oh, look around, look around

Oh oh oh, look around, look around

David Archuleta - Parachutes Airplanes

There's something crazy about this day

Like I'm walking on a trampoline

I couldn't get much higher

 

So if I asked you, would you stay?

Cause you remind me of a ballerina dancing on a wire

And I don't ever wanna say goodbye

I just wanna steal this moment right away from time

 

[Chorus:]

What do you say when you cant come down?

When you feel like you're 10 feet off the ground

What do you do when you're on the edge?

Now you're here and you've got me thinking about

Parachutes and airplanes

Thinking about parachutes and airplanes

Never hit the ground.. ground ground ground

 

The world's a thousand shades of blue

Like we're here in our kaleidoscope

Don't want it to be over

Like everything that's in my mind

It's here right in front of lights

You're the one who got me here

 

Cause I don't ever wanna say goodbye

I just wanna steal this moment right away from time

 

[Chorus:]

What do you say when you cant come down

When you feel like you're 10 feet off the ground

what do you do when you're on the edge

Pow you're here and you've got me thinking about

Parachutes and airplanes

Thinking about parachutes and airplanes

That never hit the ground

 

When it's shard sometimes

I just need a place to get away

Turn the world around

I'll never calm me down

Cause I don't ever wanna hit

Don't wanna hit the ground

 

Ground ground ground ground

Ground ground ground ground

 

[Chorus:]

What do you say when you cant come down

When you feel like you're 10 feet off the ground

What do you do when you're on the edge?

Now you're here and you've got me thinking about

Parachutes and airplanes

Thinking about parachutes and airplanes

 

What do you say when you cant come down

When you feel like you're 10 feet off the ground

What do you do when you're on the edge?

Now you're here, and you've got me thinking 'bout

Parachutes and airplanes

Thinking about parachutes and airplanes

That never hit the ground.. ground ground ground

 

Never hit the ground.. ground ground ground

David Archuleta - Falling Stars

When you forget me

When you don't remember my name

Not even a memory

Somewhere in the back of your brain

I won't be offended

Cause I'll always know that the day

Will come when I'm not enough to make you stay

Tell me it's not possible the way that we could break

But nothing is illogical, believe me

 

Like falling stars over your head

They've been bound to burn out, burn out

Crashing 'cause I'll never get over you, never over you

(cause) you are so beautiful, yeah

 

The world is turning, and times keep lingering on

Some maybe burning

Eventually you really gone

 

I'll always love you

Oh believe it or not

Baby that's not enough to, not enough to

Stop these falling stars over your head

They've been bound to burn out, burn out

Crashing 'cause I'll never get over you, never over you

(cause) you are so beautiful, yeah

 

When it's all said and done

I'll be just a speck in the galaxy

Floating far away by gravity

Tell me it's not possible the way that we could break

 

Like falling stars

Like crashing cars

Like falling stars over your head

They've been bound to burn out, just like

Crashing 'cause I'll never get over you, never over you, oh

(cause) you are so beautiful

You are so beautiful, yeah

David Archuleta - Who I Am

Been two hours in a taxi cab,

I'm just driving around and I'm running a tab,

But it doesn't really matter no, I'm not getting mad,

It's ok, 'cause I know where I'm going,

 

Out the window, everybody's on the phone,

At the lights are on, and they're all in the zone,

Gotta take a step back from my new ringtone,

I don't care if your friends there is calling, (ca-ca-calling)

 

Days like these,

It's hard to breathe.

I'm gonna take this moment that I'm in right now,

Stop the craziness somehow.

Leave it all behind me,

I know it's gonna find me.

I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose,

just trying to walk in my own two shoes,

 

I'm gonna take the time now,

It's time for me to find out

Who I am

 

oh oh, oh oh

Who I am

 

Windshield's like a movie screen,

And the world outside is a big machine,

And it moves so fast I can barely think,

That's ok, 'cause I know what I'm doing,

 

Days like these,

It's hard to breathe.

I'm gonna take this moment that I'm in right now,

Stop the craziness somehow.

Leave it all behind me,

I know it's gonna find me.

I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose,

just trying to walk in my own two shoes,

 

Gonna take the time now,

It's time for me to find out

Who I am

 

oh oh, oh oh

oh oh,

 

Sometimes,

You just know,

When to hold on, when to let go

 

Gonna take this moment that I'm in right now,

Stop the craziness somehow.

Leave it all behind me,

I know it's gonna find me.

I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose,

just trying to walk in my own two shoes,

 

Gonna take the time now,

It's time for me to find out

Who I am

 

I got nothing to win and I got nothing to lose,

just trying to walk in my own two shoes,

 

Gonna take the time now,

It's time for me to find out

Who I am

 

oh oh, oh oh,

oh oh, oh oh,

oh oh, oh oh,

oh oh, who I am.

David Archuleta - Stomping The Roses

Wasting time just going mindless

Watching your charades

When you were younger, did it occur to you

10 years from then, you'd act the same age?

 

I cannot carry on this way

Although I've carried all your every little thing

Carry me away

 

[Chorus:]

Did you feel like stomping the roses

Smashing out all the feeling inside of them

It's bad business

The way you're stomping the roses

 

I was flipping channels on my television

And it made me feel unwell

One of those complicated soap operas

I almost felt like I was watching myself

 

I cannot carry on this way

Although I've carried all your every little thing

Carry me away

 

[Chorus:]

Did you feel like stomping the roses

Smashing out all the feeling inside of them

It's bad business

The way you're stomping the roses

Everyone knows it

 

I know I know I know I know it's over

and I know I know I know I've

Always been your token nice guy

I know that you rule your whole world

Thought I could live in it

But I just can't

 

[Chorus:]

You know you're stomping the roses

Smashing out all the feeling inside of them

It's bad business

The way you're stomping the roses

Everyone knows it

 

Stomping the roses

Smashing out all the feeling inside of them

It's bad business

The way you're stomping the roses

 

Stomping, Stomping Yeah

Take it easy, yeah
