Sara Bareilles - Breathe Again


Hhmmm, car is parked, bags are packed
But what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch
The one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone
And now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide
If the fire inside still burns

(Chorus)
All I have, all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday
I'll breathe again

I'll breathe again, hhmmm

Open up (open up) next to you
And my secrets become your truth
And the distance between
That was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart
Built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore

(Chorus)

Oouuuhhh, it hurts to be here
Aaaaahh, I only wanted love from you
Aaeehhh, it hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching 2x

For something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday

I'll breathe again 6x

Sara Bareilles - Uncharted


I I I mmmm, no words
My tears won't make any room for more
Don't hurt
Like anything I've ever felt before
This is, no broken heart
No familiar scars
This territory goes uncharted

Just me
In a room sunk down in a house in a town, and I
Don't breathe
No I never meant to let it get away from me, now
Too much to hold, everybody has to
Get their hands on gold
And I want uncharted

Stuck under this ceiling I made
I can't help but feeling

(Chorus)
I'm going down, follow if you want
I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out of foolproof ideas
So don't ask me how, to get started
It's all uncharted

La la la la ahh oohh
Each day
Counting up the minutes, till I get alone
Cause I can't stay
In the middle of it all, it's nobody's fault
But I'm So alone
Never knew how much I didn't know
Oh, everything is uncharted

I know I'm getting nowhere
When I only sit and stare like

(Chorus)

Jump start my kaleidoscope heart
Love to watch the colors fade
They may not make sense
But they sure as hell made me

I won't go as a passenger, no
Waiting for the road to be laid
Though I may be going down
I'm taking flame over burning out

Compare
Where you are to where you want to be
And you'll get, Nowhere

I'm going down, follow if you want
I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go

I'm already out of foolproof ideas
So don't ask me how, to start it

(Chorus)

La la la ahh

Sara Bareilles - Send Me The Moon


Holding my breath
Last one I’ve got left, I see you
Deliver my heart with
The pieces and parts of me
That every last day seemed
To carry away a life time
Watch from the ground
As the gold fluttered down from the sky

(Chorus)
Sweet sun, send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
Until you come in and out
Of you, of you

Inches away from you
Scared what I’ll take from you, darling
I can live with your ghost
If you say that’s the most I’ll get

Darkness to light
Moved from day into night to be near you
Still here I stand
I am sinking like sand in your sea

(Chorus)

You already do
Never you mind where
The evening should find us, together
Distance can’t take what is hidden here
Safe in my chest

I’ll wait for the day when
We finally say now or never
Till then I’ll be here wanting more
As I settle for at most fear

(Chorus)

Sara Bareilles - Gonna Get Over You


Goodbye
Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Layin' down the law that I live by
Though maybe next time

I've got a thick tongue
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone, a wrong one

And I tell myself to let the story end
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
My 'why not me?' philosophy began
And I say

(Chorus)
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday

Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting and you make me
Hang from your hands

Well, no more
I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?
It's not me anymore

And I'm not the girl that I intend to be
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
But this time not for you but just for me
And I say

(Chorus)

I stand corrected, I know too well
And now it's much too late for you for me
As far as I can tell
Oh I say, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

(Chorus)

Sara Bareilles - King Of Anything


Oh (oh oh oh) 4x

Keep drinkin' coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside
Ah
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet
And count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked

So let me thank you for ur time
And try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

(Chorus)
Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

Oh (oh oh oh)

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you know best

But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
Right off into your dellusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction oh
But you won't ever see

You're so busy makin' maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talkin' down just not the listening

(Chorus)

All my life I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt and hide
Waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide

Oh (oh oh oh) 3x

(Chorus) 2x

Let me hold your crown, babe
Oh oh uuhh haaa
