Aaahh aahh

At the end of the world

I will be there with you

And we'll throw a party to celebrate

The things we used to do

Like living life, breathing air

Running your fingers through my hair

Oh, this isn't fair

At the end of the world
I will hold you so close
So we won't notice the destruction
Of all we used to know
We will close our eyes as the waters rise
We'll float away and you will say
"Oh, isn't this nice?"

(Chorus)
Aaahhh, at the end of the world
We'll be together, be together
Aaahhh, if I can spend it with you
Then the end of the world don't matter

(Chorus) at all

At the end of the world
We will kiss for the last time
And we won't feel the earth collapse into
A mess of flood and fire
We'll be making love
As the sky above falls down over us
We'll be the luckiest ones

(Chorus)

Aaahhh, at the end of the world
We'll be together, be together
Aaahhh, we both know if the end of the world
We won't care because as long as we're together
And love will last forever

Papap papap papap 2x

At the end of the world
I will be there with you
And we'll throw a party to celebrate
The things we used to do

(Chorus) 2x

It don't matter at all

Lenka - Everything's OK

 

Photo from lenkamusic.com

Keep giving me hope for a better day

Keep giving me love to find a way

Through this heaviness I feel

I just need someone to say, everything's OK

Woke my weary head
Crawled out of my bed
And I said, "Oh, how do I go on?"
Nothing's going right, shadow's took the light
And I said, "Oh, how do I go on?"

Sometimes I need a little sunshine
And sometimes I need you

(Chorus)
Keep giving me hope for a better day
Keep giving me love to find a way
Through this messy life I made for myself
Heaven knows I need a little hope for a better day
A little love to find a way
Through this heaviness I feel
I just need someone to say, everything's OK

(Everything's OK)
I gave my hope to you
When you were early through
And you said, "Oh, I can't go on" (I can't go)
Well, now I need it back
'Cause I have got a lack of all that's good
And I can't go on

Yeah, sometimes I just need a little sunshine
And sometimes I need you

(Chorus)

(Everything's OK 7x)
Sometimes I need a little sunshine
And sometimes I need you

Keep giving me hope for a better day
Keep giving me love to find a way
Through this messy life I made for myself
Heaven knows I need a little hope for a better day
A little love to find a way
Through this messy life I made for myself
Heaven knows I need a little hope for a better day
A little love to find a way
Through this heaviness I feel
I just need someone to say, everything's OK

Lenka - Roll With The Punches

 

Photo from lenkamusic.com

Roll roll with the punches 2x

That really hurt me like a fist to the face

I wasn't ready to be knocked out of place

Suddenly everything I was sure of

Is sinking below the depths of the surface

It's unexpected, it usually is
When you're rejected or you take a hit
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
No time to grow a thicker skin
What kind of situation am I in now?

(Chorus)
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches

Little weapons over the phone
They like to threaten the life that I know
They say, get over here and get into the ring
But I'm not really much of fighter

My mechanism of defense are down
And my resistance is out on the town
I was alarmed by your attack
This isn't a boxing match
But I'll be damned if I ever let you win

(Chorus)

Oh ohh, when all I want is a little stability
Sometime without any bruises
You go and tell me the things that I don't wanna hear
Putting your fists into my ears

Filling me up with the dread and the fear
Leaving me all in pieces
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
No time to grow a thicker skin
What kind of situation am I in now?

When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
You've got to hold, hold, hold your head up high

(Chorus)

Lenka - Shock Me Into Love

 

 Photo from lenkamusic.com

Just when you think that it will never get you

It comes and throws a lightning bolt right at you

Before you know it now your pulse starts racing

And now your blood is running hot like crazy

Ohh ohh oohh oohh ohh
Give it everything, everything that you've got 2x

(Chorus)
No, I never knew that I could feel this way
No, I never had it running through my veins
No, I never thought that it could be enough
Suddenly you, you shock me into love

Into love

It's waiting for you right around the corner
It doesn't have the decency to warn ya
It comes along and taps you on the shoulder
You fall the arms that now will hold ya

Ohh ohh oohh oohh ohh
Give it everything, everything that you've got 2x

(Chorus)

Ooh ohh oohh into love, ooh ohh oohh

Electricity shoots from you to me 2x

(Chorus) 2x

Ooh ohh oohh ohh oh into love 2x

Lenka - You Will Be Mine

 

Photo from lenkamusic.com

She moved in to the house next door

Said she'd never been in love before

Tried the best she could to hide herself away

But every time she turned the lights down low

He thought he heard a voice calling out so slow

Come and take me away from all this pain

And he said

(Chorus)
I see you sitting there at the window sill
Looking for shooting stars
I wanna get closer and closer still
I wanna take over your heart
You will be mine, mine
Over time, time aahh
You're gonna find, find
I'll make you mine, mine

Every morning when she came outside
He tried to be the one to catch her eye
But she would only turn away and hide

He started to concoct a plan
To get her to return the feelings that he had
To show her how he thought they were entwined

(Chorus)

Little love letters written in red
Folded up put away next to the bed, ooh uuhh
Little crushed hopes every day
Waiting in the wings to spirit her away

(Chorus)

You will be mine, mine
Over time, time aahh
You're gonna find, find

Lenka - Sad Song

 

Photo from lenkamusic.com

Aaahh aahh aoouuuhhhh 2x

Don't tell me you wanna be

The kind of girl who's drowning

And don't go holding on to anything

That's gonna keep you frowning, darling

Everyone's compelled to look into the mirror
When they're crying
Just because your tears are pretty
Doesn't mean they'll get you by

(Chorus)
Sing me a sad song and make me feel better
Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry
Because everything feels like it's going around in circles
And everyone knows that the world is upside down

You were once a little baby
Full of optimistic wonder
So what got into you to make you think
That it could pull you under, honey

Could it be that we were under
The impression life was perfect?
(La la la la la)
And when the bubble burst
We understood that every part of it hurts

(Chorus)

Aaahh aahh aoouuuhhhh 2x

I'm going to color my glasses rose
I'm going to follow where the rainbow goes
And my pot of gold will be waiting

(Chorus)

And everyone knows that the world is upside down

Lenka - Here To Stay

 

Photo from lenkamusic.com

I don't know anymore

I don't know what I've been fighting for

But something inside me won't go quietly

And I could be anywhere
'Cause we're all breathing the same air
It goes inside and makes me feels alive
And all I can say is, all I can say

I am here and I will be, following my own way
Forever and a day, I am here and I'm here to stay
Ooohh

(Chorus)
We are here and we will be, following our own way
No matter what you say, we are here and we're here to stay

We are here to stay

No matter where you roam
Anywhere you lay your heart's your home
Stand your ground if they push you down
Because all you can say is, all you can say

(Chorus)

Ooohh
We are real and we feel it
When you deny us or when you get tired of us
We are here and we're here to stay
We are here to stay

I never knew when enough was enough
Or whether to stay when the going was tough
But I won't let a little heart be afraid
And all I can say is, all I can say

I am here and I will be, following my own way
Forever and a day, I am here and I'm here to stay
Ooohh

(Chorus)

We are here to stay 4x

Lenka - Blinded By Love

 

Photo from lenkamusic.com

I came home and nothing was right

It's been a while since a fight

Well maybe tonight, my need for love

Can cloud my sight

And I say things out of spite or I push you aside
No, I don't know how to fix it
I am falling apart and I am breaking your heart

(Chorus)
Help me to see
'Cause I am blinded by love, blinded by love
And help me to be the one to guide us
Through the dark things we do

Now I know, I can be tough sometimes
My words come out like knives
Cutting the space between us
And you try yeah, I know you try

To just let things slide
But what good is that to us?
Oh oh ooh, I don't know
I I am falling apart and I am breaking your heart

(Chorus)

Oh, I don't know what possibly changed
(Aaahh ahh possibly changed)
We were so good, so good
And where is the light at the end of this tunnel
(Aaahh ahh the light at the end of this tunnel)
'Cause I am falling apart and I am breaking your heart

(Chorus)

Lenka - Everything At Once

 

(Photo from lenkamusic.com)

As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox

As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear

As free as a bird, as neat as a word

As quite as a mouse, as big as a house

Ooh, all I wanna be 2x
Oooh oohh, all I wanna be is everything

As mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite, as dark as the night
As sweet as song, as right as a wrong
As long as a road, as ugly as a toad

As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whale

Ooh, all I wanna be 2x
Oooh oohh, all I wanna be is everything
Everything at once 2x
Ooh, everything at once

As warm as the sun, as silly as fun
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
As hot as fire, cold as ice
Sweet as sugar and everything nice

As old as time, as straight as a line
As a royal as a Queen, as buzzed as a bee
Stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glide
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be

Ooh, all I wanna be 2x
Oooh oohh, all I wanna be is everything
Everything at once

Lenka - Two

 

(Photo from lenkamusic.com)

Two, now that I'm with you

Another point of view

Instead of what I knew

Oh two, whatever will do

I don't see a way through

But you're the one I choose

I never knew what double could do

But things are better, so much better

(Chorus)
Hold me closer, never let me go
I don't want any other baby
Two is the one, two is the one
I was lonely, never had nobody
But now I've got double, baby
Two is the one, two is the one for me

One, never had so much fun
Staying up till sun
Banging on my own drum
Oh one, always looking for love
And ending up with none
Made me come undone
I never knew what double could do
But things are better, so much better with two

(Chorus)

Two, a couple not a few
Well, this is something new
If I can deal with it, then so can you
I never what double could do
But things are better, so much better

(Chorus)

But things are better, so much better with two
So much better with two, ah ooh oh oh

Lenka - Heart Skips A Beat

 

(Photo from lenkamusic.com)

Heart skips a beat, my heart skips a beat

My heart is playing tricks on me

And it's building bricks on me

I can't break through and I can't face you

My world is turning slowly now
But it's burning up somehow
I need some time to know what's right
'Cause it's only in the quite that I feel some relief

(Chorus)
I'm trying hard not to resist the joy
Don't listen to me, I'm being paranoid
I might try hard but it's too hard to avoid

My heart skips a beat 2x

My heart is always first to know
And as the feeling grows
I can't deny, push those thoughts aside
My world is full of loveliness
But I focus on the stress

My heart says "Go", but my brain says "No"
And it's only in the quite that I hear myself breathe

(Chorus)

My heart skips a beat 4x

Ooh, I know this time 'cause it's physical
My blood has stopped and I am breathless as well
But I need a minute to convince myself
'Cause it's only in the quite that I know what to feel

(Chorus)

My heart skips a beat 2x

(Chorus)

My heart skips a beat 4x

Lenka - Dangerous and Sweet

It's difficult to see from the surface

But everything goes in and it stings

Like a spider, hits you deep inside and

(Chorus)
I know that you are just like me, oversensitive
Well I ordinarily breathe
Taking everything for much more than it means
Well it's dangerous, and it's sweet
Cut us and we bleed

All these words that we speak casually
Well maybe I'm just weak, but it hurts me
Everything you said 3x
Well it cuts, like a knife
It hurts me deep inside and

(Chorus)

I should put on my armor the next time I see you
So I won't be harmed, I know I can shoot my own arrows
I'm sorry I hurt you
I know that like me you can be oversensitive

Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
Ba da Ba Ba Ba 2x

(Chorus)

Yeah it’s dangerous and sweet
Don't you know it’s dangerous and it's sweet?
Cut us and we bleed

Lenka - We Will Not Grow Old

You and me will be lying

Side by side forever, forever

Underneath this adolescent sky

Together, together

And you will hold my heart

Inside your hand

And you'll be the one

The one to tell me

(Chorus)
Oh, we've got a long, long way to go
To get there, we'll get there
But oh, if there's one thing
That we know it's that
We will not grow old

I made you swear
That our hearts will never die
No never, no never
Cause no one seems to believe
That we can fly, forget them, forget them

Oh, you told me

(Chorus) 2x

Oh how could
We know that day, it came with age
That oh, the feeling would fade

(Chorus) 2x

No, We will not grow old 3x

I will never be, I will never be tall, no

And I will never be, never ever be sure of it all

Oh, why is the world so cruel to me

When all, all I ever want to be is anything I'm not

(Chorus)
Gimme a break, a little escape
I am so tired of being me
I wanna be free, I wanna be new and different
Anything I'm not, I'm not

I will never be, I will never be you, no
I will always be, I will always be me, that I know
But oh, even though I'm happy being me
I want to get away from all this harsh reality, oh

Lenka - Live Like u're Dying

One of these days you’ll be

Under the covers you’ll be

Under the table and you’ll realize

All of your days are numbered
All of them one to one hundred
All of them millions
All of them trillions

So what are you gonna do with them all?
You can not trade them in for mall, no no

(Chorus 1)
Take every moment, you know that you own them
It’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you

Give me a reason to fight the feeling
That there’s nothing here for me
Cause none of its easy
I know it wasn’t meant to be
I know it’s all up to me 2x
So what am I gonna do with my time? ooohh

(Chorus 2)
I'll take every moment, I know that I own them
It’s all up to you to do whatever you choose

(Chorus 3)
Live like you’re dying and never stop trying
It’s all you can do, use what’s been given to you

All of the moments you didn’t notice
gone in the blink of an eye
All of the feelings you couldn’t feel
No matter how you try, oooh oh

(Chorus 4)
Take every moment, you know that you own them
It’s all up to you to do whatever you choose 

(Chorus 3) 2x

Lenka - Bring Me Down

Aaahhh, aaahhh, uuuhh, aaahhh, aaahhh

So here we are again

Staring at the end of what we made and who we are

Never knowing when

One of us will break apart and walk the other way

Love, I don't know what to say
Love, I don't know how to stay
When you won't let me be the person that I am

(Chorus)
The writing's on the wall, there's nothing to say anymore
So I'll leave before I fall apart right back into your arms
The writing's on the wall, you gave nothing and I gave it all
But I want something better and I won't let this burden bring me down

What are we to do?
What are we to say to one another now we're through?
Thanks for being you
Thanks for being all the things I had to say goodbye to

I'm over being lied to
I'm over being pushed into
The person that you want me to become

(Chorus)

Where did we go wrong?
We let it be so long
But now there's no point turning back
Let's face the facts

(Chorus)

I won't let this burden bring me
I won't let this burden bring me down

A second, a minute, an hour, a day goes by

I'm hopin' just to be by your side

I'm turnin' the handle, it won't open

Don't make me wait 'cause right now I need your smile

Knock, knock

(Chorus)

When life had locked me out I turned to you

So open the door

'Cause you're all I need right now, it's true

Nothin' works like you

Little louder, little louder
Little louder knockin'
Little louder, little louder

A warm bath, a good laugh, an old song that you know by heart
I've tried it but they all leave me cold
So now I'm here waitin' to see you
My remedy for all that's been hurtin' me
Knock, knock

You seem to know the way
To turn my frown upside down
You always know what to say
To make me feel like everything's okay

Little louder, little louder
Little louder knockin' 3x
Little louder, little louder

And you open the door
And you're all I need right now, it's true
Nothin' works like you

Nothin' works like you
Nothin' works like you, ooh ohh

When life had locked me out I turned to you
And you open the door
And you're all I need right now, it's true
Nothin' works like you

Lenka - Gravity Rides Everything

Oh, got to see, got to know right now

What's that riding on your everything?

It isn't anything at all

Oh, got to see, got to know right now
What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels?

No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I want to go back to sleep

In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place

When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place 2x
It all will fall, hmmmm, hmmmm
huuuh, huuuh, huuuh, huuuh, huuuh

Lenka - Don't let Me Fall

Underneath the moon, underneath the stars

Here's a little heart for you

Up above the world, up above it all

Here's a hand to hold on to

But if I should break, if I should fall away

What am I to do?

I need someone to take, a little of the weight

Or I’ll fall through

(Chorus)
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall

Take a little time, walk a little line
Got the balance right
Give a little love, gimme just enough
So that I can hang on tight

We will be alright, I’ll be by your side
I wont let you down
But I gotta know, no matter how things go
That you will be around

(Chorus)

Don’t let me fall

Underneath the moon, underneath the stars
Here’s a little heart for you
Up above the world, up above it all
Here’s a hand to hold on to

(Chorus)

You'll be the one that I’ll love forever more
I'll be here holding you high above it all
But don’t let me fall
