Good Life - One Republic





Lời bài hát:
[Verse 1]

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

[Chorus]

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

[Verse 2]

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

[Bridge 1]

When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

[Bridge 2]

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

All Fall Down - One Republic



Lời bài hát:
Step out the door and it feels like rain
That's the sound (that's the sound) on your window pane
Take to the streets but you can't ignore
That's the sound (that's the sound) you're waiting for

You feel that your world starts crashing down
Whenever you're world starts crashing down

Whenver your world starts crashing down
That's when you find me.

Yeah God love your soul and your aching bones
Take a breath, take a step, maybe down below
Everyone's the same
My fingers to my toes
We just can't get a ride
But we're on the road

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's when you find me.

Chorus:

(Yeah) Lost til you're found
Swim til you drown

Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
If ever your world starts crashing down

That's when you'll find (find) me

Lost til you're found
Swim til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down

All fall down, we all fall down, all fall down

We all fall down, all fall down, all fall down

Lost til you're found
Swim til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down

Stop And Stare - One Republic



Lời bài hát:
This town is cooler now
I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move
I'm shakin' off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands just take the wheel
Every glance is killing me
Time to make on elast appeal for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving, but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see

They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push

Untie the weight tags I never thought I could
Steady feet don't fail me now,
I'm gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out, and I'm standing down.

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
But I've become what I can't be
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see.

Someone To Save You - One Republic



Lời bài hát:
Patience
Took you for everything
Looked like a diamond ring
You love was so much longer
Than made sense
Apathy in disguise
Crept on you like a spy
Hurt you in ways
You can't describe

Back to the start now
I won't let you go this way now

Chorus:
Honesty
Is what you need
It sets you free
Like someone to save you
Let it go
But hurry though
There's undertow
And I don't want to lose you

Now
Alright
Sit down and spill your heart
Let's start from the very start
'Cause I can see by your eyes
You're wasted
Your energy comes and goes
You're taking you're time, and no
Nothing can changed what's happened

So back to the start, now
I won't let you go this way

Chorus

Don't want to lose you now
Oh now

Oh my
Look how your bright stars fade
So
How much can you take

Chorus
Now
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Don't wanna lose you
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Someone to save you
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na...

Everybody Loves Me - One Republic



Lời bài hát:
Hail Ceasar shadow on my backseat
And her friends are standing right in front of me
World wide from the center burning Turkey
Open up said Everybody loves me

And you dont have to make a sound
Cause they got what you need
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Gotta love all the people that have warned you
Gotta love all your sentimental virtue
Eight balls with the takers thatll make you
Lay cards with the lovers that'll hate you

Cause you dont have to make a sound
They got what you need
What you need
Like you say

Oh my!
Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good i might die
All i know is everybody loves me
Get down,
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All i know is everybody loves me
Everybody loves me

Well I
Play the music dont stop till i turn gray
Stars Forever like John Sousa never fade,
He had a beautiful child, named her Desiree
Hope Ill remember the good things that il never say

Cause you dont have to make a sound
They got what you need
Like you say

Oh my!
Feels just like I dont try
Looks so good i might die
All i know is everybody loves me
Get down,
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All i know is everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Everybody
Everybody
Oh
Everybody
Everybody

Dont need my health
Got my name and got my wealth I
Stare at the sun
Just for kicks all by myself I
Lose track of time
So I might be past my prime
But
Im feeling oh so good
YEAH!

Oh my!
Feels just like I dont try
Looks so good i might die
All i know is everybody loves me
Get down,
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All i know is everybody loves me
Everybody loves me!
Dont you know you wanna
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody

Apologize - One Republic



Lời bài hát:
I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new - yeah yeah

I loved you with the fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel
heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late whoa.....

Bridge (guitar/piano)

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
