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
