Vanessa Carlton - Nolita Fairytale

I know, you know, we don't see

We sow our truth, wait patiently

I walk the streets with a song in my head
We ebb and we flow so
Got my toes on my pup at the foot of my bed
My heart always seems to know
Now take the glitz back
I want the soul instead
Cos I found some kind of fairytale

I used to
Hover outside my truth
Always worry of what I'd lose
Take away my record deal
Go on, I don't need it
Spent the last 2 years
Getting to what's real
And now I can see so clear
I hope you feel just like I feel
I found some kind of fairytale

Want a garden by the ocean tide
Because I lose my way
Searching for stage lights
Well, Stevie knows and I thank her so
Cos it's your seeds I sow
And now I know

Nolita flat on rent control
That's the life I choose
And you drag me to the fashion show
The poses that I see through
Ruby's in the afternoon

Cos I found some kind of fairytale, hey
Nolita Fairytale
Ba da da da da da, Ba da da da da da 2x

Vanessa Carlton - Ordinary Day

Just a day, just an ordinary day

Just trying to get by

Just a boy, just an ordinary boy

But he was looking to the sky

And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds
Just what he's looking for
Like a shooting star he shines

(Chorus)
He said take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie
Right in the palm of your hand

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel, oohhh
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of time

(Chorus)

In the palm of your hand, ahhh

Please come with me, see what I see
Touch the stars for time will not flee
Time will not flee, can you see?

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
Or was it all in my head?
Did he asked if I would come along
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standing there with a deal

(Chorus)

In the palm of your hand, oohh
In the palm of your hand, aahh

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky

Vanessa Carlton - Hands On Me

I first saw you at the video exchange

I know my heart and it will never change

This temp work would be alright if

You'd call me, you'd call me

I lay awake at night for you and I pray

(Chorus)
We'd cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me

The subway radiates with heat
We've barely met and still
I cross the street to your door

(Chorus)

Someday when our stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendents are all growing old
1,000 years they'll be singing
Na na na na na na na

We'll climb Tibetan mountains
Where we can barely breathe
I'll see the Dali Lama
I'll feel him blessing me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
Your hands on me

First saw you at the video exchange
