Wicked 03:53
Come along, come along for the ride I got a one-way ticket and we’re leaving tonight This train ain’t coming back for anyone Don’t just me for being wicked I know what I want and I’m going to get it Being good never got me very far Taking a chance tonight Been so good all your life You got a good heart A good soul to match Give me what you’ve got Don’t look back don’t miss your shot You got a good heart A good soul to match Now we’re wicked Take a shot take a swing at me I’m not scared to die you only win the lottery If you’re holding all the tickets so I’m gonna take ‘em all So 1, 2, 3, 4 tell me that you want more Tell me that you’re tired of waiting for an open door Tell me you’ve been good and it’s time to get what you want Taking a chance tonight Been so good all your life You got a good heart A good soul to match Give me what you’ve got Don’t look back don’t miss your shot You got a good heart A good soul to match Now we’re wicked Can’t stop, don’t wanna miss it What’s wrong with being wicked? One shot, tonight Been so good all your life You got a good heart A good soul to match Give me what you’ve got Don’t look back are you ready or not You got a good heart A good soul to match Give me what you’ve got Don’t look back are you ready or not You got a good heart A good soul to match Are you wicked?

Looking 04:10
Let me tell you how I fell through when you fell for me I can show you how I know you thought I couldn't see How you felt about that night When you told me you'll just hold me for my misery I see you next to me, whoa I've been looking for you, been looking for you, been looking for you I've been looking for you, been looking for you I've been looking for you, been looking for you, been looking for you I've been looking for you, been looking for you, been looking for you Been looking for Let me tell you how you came through when I fell apart Should've seen you'd try to save me from the very start It's not your fault so please forgive The things I said to you when I gave in to my demons I see you next to me, whoa I see you next to me, whoa I've been looking for you, been looking for you, been looking for you I've been looking for you, been looking for you I've been looking for you, been looking for you, been looking for you I've been looking for you, been hoping for you, been counting on you Been looking for

Stars 04:17
It's too cold out tonight for this conversation And secretly I'm scared this may be the last one I know that it comes as no surprise But I don't wanna see tears in your eyes Can you see the stars? They won't speak Can you see the stars? When you're here with me It's too cold out tonight for this conversation Sometimes I think that I should not be forgiven If it's just the way that things are done Will you hold my hand so I won't run? Can you see the stars? They won't speak Can you see the stars? When you're here with me Everything's fine, I'll find my way back, I'll do what's right Everything's fine, I'll find my way back, we'll be all right

Grande Disco 03:57
He said you can leave, I won't ask you to stay If it makes you feel better to be far away I don't care where you go or where you lay your head I don't care if you sleep facing east or west I don't care where you go or who you'll see But I hope that sometimes you'll still think of me I hope that you're happy, I hope you're not sad Just say that you'll look for me when you come back He looked at the sky and he watched the plane leave Said my fingers are crossed that you'll come back to me And maybe someday, like in a year or two You'll feel so much better, but you'll still be you And I hope we're together if it's meant to be And if it is not, then I will make my peace I know everything will turn out just fine 'Cause the universe always provides in time The universe always provides in time If it's meant to be then it will all be fine The universe always provides in time If it's meant to be then it will all turn out just fine Swear to God I'll find you someday Swear to God I'll find you someday Swear to God I'll find you someday Swear to God I'll find you someday

Ballade 04:22
I dream in black and white Silhouettes of who I used to be The mirror tells me lies Ghosts and skeletons stare back at me You used to wake at night Listening to see if I still breathe Through slamming doors and screams You watched me slip away from everything Tell me you want me I’ll say I’m sorry Say you’ll never let me go I’ve waited so long I’ll tell the truth If you can make me whole I grasp at bones and shrinking spaces As they disappear from sight You ask if I’m okay The words get lost inside another fight Tell me you want me I’ll say I’m sorry Say you’ll never let me go I’ve waited so long I’ll tell the truth If you can make me whole Tell me you want me I know you thought You lost me long ago I’ve waited so long I’ll come clean If you can make me whole Tell me you want me I’ll say I’m sorry Say you’ll never let me go I’ve waited so long I’ll tell the truth If you can make me whole Tell me you want me I know you thought You lost me long ago I’ve waited so long I’ll come come clean If you can make me whole Tell me you love me I’ll say I’m sorry Say you’ll never let me go Say you’ll forgive me Cause I don’t know If I can ever be whole Tell me you want me I know you thought You lost me long ago I’ve waited so long I will tell the truth Just take me home

Been wondering 'round for so long lost inside the dark I stumbled through the door and you picked up my heart You took my hand and looked straight into me That was the moment I started to believe Every time I see you smile it lifts my heart a thousand miles I'm flying so high that I can't see the ground I'm finally thinking this must be the place Everything you say is like a new awakening You've shown me all the things I thought I'd never see Don't close your eyes, we cannot miss a thing I feel so alive now that you're here with me Every time I see you smile it lifts my heart a thousand miles I'm flying so high that I can't see the ground I'm finally thinking this must be the And all my life hasn't been what it seems Been holding it in since I was just sixteen They said to be patient, things are bound to get better So I've just been waiting 'round for what feels like forever Yo soy un viajero, je suis américaine, I've come this far, I won't go back again And ever since I've gotten here and first saw your face I'm thinking more than ever now that this must be the Every time I see you smile it lifts my heart a thousand miles I'm flying so high that I can't see the ground I'm finally thinking this must be the place Look up at the stars, they are shining for us Don't let go of my hand now, this must be the place

PB&Jam 04:32
When I was young, they told me to wait Said "child, you're so wild, learn to hesitate" So for awhile I felt guilt for my sins It's taken all my life just to forgive ‘em again When I was young, living outside the city Said "girl, all you must do in this world is stay pretty" Now that I'm older I know that's a lie It's taken all my life, it's taken all my life To take it all back All I want is someone to love me Heaven above or hell below me Said all I want is someone to love me Heaven above or hell below me I was a fool, was a fool for your love So when you took it away, I thought fair enough Now that I've moved on I know who I am It's taken all my life just to remember again I was impatient and prone to shame I took my entire life and tried to throw it away Now I am trying to forgive my own sins And I've got all my life left to feel happy again All I want is someone to love me Heaven above or hell below me Said all I want is someone to love me Heaven above or hell below me

Long Gone 04:17
It started out when we were so naive I wanted you, I gave you everything I showed you my demons, you took my hand and chased them out The joke's on me, I should have held on to my doubt I waited for so long I guess I have myself to blame We changed, now I'm haunted By who we used to be Don't look for me, I will be long gone Don't look for me, I will be long gone The night you left I cried myself to sleep And made up dreams where you came back for me I guess the saddest part is I still can't let you go But I know that you vanished long ago I waited for so long I guess I have myself to blame We changed, now I'm haunted By who we used to be Don't look for me, I will be long gone Don't look for me, I will be long gone Don't look for me Don't you dare look for me Don't you dare look for me Don't you dare I waited for so long I guess it never meant a thing You changed me, I'm haunted By who you used to be Don't look for me, I will be long gone Don't look for me, don't you dare look for me I guess you should know I've forgiven everything I'll never forget you I'll miss you less each day Don't look for me, I will be long gone Don't look for me, I will be long gone Don't look for me, I will be long gone Don't look for me, I will be long gone
