The Hunger

The hunger is over
The hunger was real
I come from a colder
Love atmosphere
The circuits are changing
My hearts getting strong
Reversing the aging
I know I've been wrong
All I needed was time
Time to see it through
We just get so hungry
But that hunger led me to you
I found a freedom
From a long way down low
Chills left my system
I found someone to know
The hunger is over
The hunger was real
I come from a colder
Love atmosphere
All I needed was time
Time to see it through
We just get so hungry
But that hunger led me to you

Stay
04:05

We talked alone in the car
On a night lit by streetlight stars
You wanted to stay
I wanted to stay
We were under the bloom
You were safe in my room
You wanted to stay
Didn't think it'd turn out this way
You didn't want the song to end
My phone wired into my radio
I felt I couldn't pretend
It was the way I wished it would go
Stay
You didn't want the song to end
Beach House played through my stereo
I felt I couldn't pretend
It was the way I wished it would go

All The Best

Your stepping stone has found someone
Found somebody to love
I wish all the best for you
But oh, it's like it came from above
All the best for me
Don't waste your breath on me
One little page in your little black book
It came to life for me
I was just a page in your little black book
That's what we call destiny
All the best for me
Don't waste your breath on me
Only the best for me
Your stepping stone has found someone
Found somebody to love
All the best for me
Don't waste your breath on me
Only the best for me

Pretenders
04:07
|

Thanks for pretending
Now I've got the real thing
It took a love in disguise
To find the light in my eyes
I'm done with sad songs
I've done all my wrongs
Thanks for the memories
I'll keep them for a while
But this one brings me flowers
And good reason to smile
I'm over bad times
I'm over love crimes
Sometimes it takes a bad move
To break through your heart
Sometimes it takes sad news
To find your way through the dark
So here's to Pretenders
Still leading us on
For letting us find the answer
In a feeling so wrong
I've done some bad things
In pursuit of a happy ending

Get Back To Love
04:20

Time bends our hands
Kills the things we love
Men, thoughtless children
What do they dream of?
To get back to love
Get back to love
Earth shifting sands
Try to shake us off
But it's in our hands
Maybe that's not enough
To get back to love
Get back to love
All the wars we fight
For something long imagined up above
Let's let go of time
And get back to love
Time bends our hands
Kills the things we love
But it's in our hands
Maybe that's not enough
So get back to love
Get back to love
All the wars we fight
For something long imagined up above
Let's let go of time
And get back to love
Nothing lasts forever
So I have read
I don't need to last forever
I just want it to be said
Get back to love

You don't wanna hear me
But I think you do
You don't wanna know me
But you do

Back To Reality
02:38
|
|
||
|
It's that time of night
The drivers by don't even try to dim their lights
The train is gliding by
A silent partner on this long stretch of night
You're home safe
I'm on my way
Back to reality
It's that time in life
A passer by no longer looks you in the eye
People walk on by
I need a partner who can soldier through these lies
But you're home safe
You could take away
My reality
My reality...

Dreams

You'll never find another one
Quite like me, babe
I could show you all the love
You don't believe in
I know it's true
It's hard to find you on the same page
But when it comes to you
I can't see myself leaving
Work it out with me
And I'll show you the world
All of your dreams
Come along with me
Down to the west coast
We could start a life
And I don't mind moving
No one holds a candle to
You, I love most
If I'm not with you
I might as well be losing
Work it out with me
And I'll show you the world
All of your dreams
Maybe it's wishful thinking
Baby my heart is sinking
Maybe you're the logical one
Is it just temporary
Never had a thought so scary
Oh, you make me want to run
Work it out with me
And I'll show you the world
All of your dreams
You'll never find another one
Quite like me, babe
I could show you all the love
You don't believe in

I'm not doing this
For your benefit
I do what I want and I'm no one's fool
I might go insane
If I played your game
I don't want to live by the rules
And I believe that I can love
Whoever I please
If you can only love a girl
It shouldn't matter to me
I've seen some crazy shit
What's the point of it
People just want to be free
When I've left this earth
And love, for what it was worth
I hope somebody looks after me
And I believe that I can love
Who I want to
No, I've never loved a girl
It shouldn't matter to you

With Love

In a dreamlike state
I had your hand
You had my heart
I thought you'd understand
I guess it has to be
Here's what you did to me
With love,

An old t-shirt
A scent you wore
I don't need them anymore
A love I built
A glass you spilt
All cast in flame upon the floor
Now I'm gonna burn
All the things you left behind
Now I'm gonna burn
All the love you couldn't find
Catch some sad soul
With the same old lines
If that's enough to keep him around
Singing songs about you
To somebody new
Oh, this love it's a heavy comedown
Now I'm gonna burn
All the things you left behind
Yeah I'm gonna burn
All the love you couldn't find
All the things you left behind
All the love you couldn't find

I don't know where I'm going
But I guess I don't need a plan
I don't want to be showing off
Just to be some idea of man
Cos I am living the dream
I am living the dream
If life is meant to wasted
Then I guess I've figured it out
And love is meant to be tasted
Oh yes, about that there's no doubt
Cos I am living the dream
I am living the dream
If there's something to be said
Then you speak up, just get it out
Cos there is nothing worse than
Wondering if it could have worked out
Cos I am living the dream
I am living the dream

Treat yourself
To the things you love
He says
There's no time
To just walk life through
He says
Gold and diamonds
Some men dream of
I guess
But all I need
To dream is you
Oh yes
Cos I got love
And I've got a car
That'll do to get me by
Far away from the rain
I've never taken low this high
Never change
I love it when you're near
He says
You're The One
Is all I wanna hear
He says
Cos we've got love
And you've got a car
That'll do to get me by
Far away from the rain
I've never taken low this high
California's killed my blues
Never change, except your shoes...
