Door clicks while his wheels start spinning on the pavement
And I go fill the space up where he has been staying
Won't lose much sleep, he never went that deep
Love you? Oh you sweet thing, no, I never said that
Let me hold your ego while you get your bag packed
Don't take this the wrong way
But when a spade shows up I call it by its first name
We were
We were never gonna catch fire
We'd have burned up in the flames
Long before they ever rose up higher
Someday I
I won't have to feel the cold
But I do now so I'll know
What it feels like when I feel fire
Fire
(Fire)
(Fire)
Talk, touch, kiss then this one's just like all the others
But I know all too well that I want deeper waters
I held my breath to swim
But shallow shores aren't safe enough to dive in

Sara Bareilles - No Such Thing lyrics
I feel you, it's like you're in the next room
At any given moment, you could reappear
Thin air, you're out there in it somewhere
If I could only get there, I could breathe again
Tell me how to start
What comes after you
I am in the dark
Love, what now?
No such thing as over you
I don't want it anyway
I wouldn't even try to
If I don't let go then there is
No such thing as over this
I've tried to get over you, over you, over you
But I think, there's no such thing
Broken, you're Rome, I am the ruins
The stone I can't find you in
Is all that still remains
At any given moment, you could reappear
Thin air, you're out there in it somewhere
If I could only get there, I could breathe again
Tell me how to start
What comes after you
I am in the dark
Love, what now?
No such thing as over you
I don't want it anyway
I wouldn't even try to
If I don't let go then there is
No such thing as over this
I've tried to get over you, over you, over you
But I think, there's no such thing
Broken, you're Rome, I am the ruins
The stone I can't find you in
Is all that still remains
Sara Bareilles - Armor lyrics
Let it begin, let Adam in
Step one: original sin
Underneath the leaves, Adam found Eve
Both of them found something sweet under the apple tree
Then it was over, roads divide
Step two: learning how to lie
Let me ask a question to present day:
How the hell did Eve end up with all the damn blame?
All the damn blame
To all the dirty looks, the kitty cat calls
To the ones who try and throw us up against the back walls
Let me tell you something you'll understand:
Only the little boys tell you they're a big man
To all my sisters and all our friends
We have to thank them, please
Strength means blessed with an enemy
All my, my, my, my armor comes from you
You make me try, try, try, try harder
Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do
Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you
You make me stronger, stronger
Now, hand me my armor
(Hand me my armor, hand me my armor)
Sara Bareilles - If I Can't Have You lyrics
You tell me that you're leaving
You say that time
Will slow the bleeding
Of this heart that I've
Placed into your hands
I held it out to you
Now you give it back what am I supposed to do?
Oh I had a feeling this day would come
And leave me reeling
I just want to run back in your arms again
But they're no longer there
To hold me safe inside
To hold me anywhere
Ooh
If I can't have you
Then I have to find a way to get through
Though I don't want to
I have to do my best to recall
That I'm thankful that I held you at all
I miss you every morning
And in the evening rain
Tonight it's pouring
And I'm alone again
I count the seconds
Between the thoughts of you
I'm getting better baby, I'm almost up to two
Sara Bareilles - Eyes On You lyrics
Tendi with the good hands stutters when she's speaking
Johnny drives a big rig, Johnny's not sleeping
Sweet Geraldine turned 80 in the spring
But her nerves won't quit she worries about everything
Sarah's on a work trip crying at her hotel
Jessie's doing back flips, Molly's doing so well
Joey's got a new girl, Emily moved away
And the world's on fire the whole time we're trying to put out the flame
Life it gets louder now
Can't stop it
Won't slow down
Lost in this
All I can do
Is keep my eyes on you
I know the world turns around
I know the lights are gonna go out
But until they do I've got nothing to lose
I keep my eyes on you
I keep my eyes on you
Tommy took a free fall, didn't pull the rip-chord
Gathered at the funeral, everybody looked bored
Amanda had a baby, Katie she lost a few
Johnny drives a big rig, Johnny's not sleeping
Sweet Geraldine turned 80 in the spring
But her nerves won't quit she worries about everything
Sarah's on a work trip crying at her hotel
Jessie's doing back flips, Molly's doing so well
Joey's got a new girl, Emily moved away
And the world's on fire the whole time we're trying to put out the flame
Life it gets louder now
Can't stop it
Won't slow down
Lost in this
All I can do
Is keep my eyes on you
I know the world turns around
I know the lights are gonna go out
But until they do I've got nothing to lose
I keep my eyes on you
I keep my eyes on you
Tommy took a free fall, didn't pull the rip-chord
Gathered at the funeral, everybody looked bored
Amanda had a baby, Katie she lost a few
Sara Bareilles - Miss Simone lyrics
Smiles in the morning at me
Apartment on the second story
Strangers in a brand new city
Both remembering last night
Kitchen table and a bottle of wine
The only thing on my mind is you
The way the moonlight flickered in
We were stars of some old classic film with
Miss Simone singing
Pour some sugar in my bowl baby
In the glow of the candlelight
We danced all night
On the rooftop thinking
No one needs to know a thing
But Miss Simone
No one but Miss Simone
Moving boxes cover the floor
Never quite been here before
Finally made a house feel like home
The years are flying past us now
But you and I have figured out how
To conjure up a feeling so true
Sara Bareilles - Wicked Love lyrics
Poured my glass of wine
You caught me some fireflies
Told me their names
And how much they love their life in a jar
You twist around me like vines
You rub the stars in my bright eyes
Then you sold me a future
From the ones you had in the trunk of your car
You said I think too much
You said I always mess it up
It was so easy to believe
I've always said same things...
Stay out honey
I can see you're wicked
And I don't want your wicked love
Don't need what makes me feel addicted
I don't want your wicked love
Stay out
Stay out
I don't want your wicked love
Stay out
Stay out
I don't want your wicked wicked wicked love
Sara Bareilles - Orpheus lyrics
Come by the fire
Lay down your head
My love I see you're growing tired so set the bad day by the bed
And rest a while
Your eyes can close
You don't have to do a thing but listen to me sing I know
You miss the world
The one you knew
The one where everything made sense because you didn't know the truth
That's how it works
Till the bottom drops out
And you learn we're all just hunters seeking solid ground
Don't stop
Trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it's blinding
There'sa way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now
No fear
Don't you turn like Orpheus
Just stay here
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
We'll say
We did not give up on love today
I'll show you good
Restore your faith
I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place
Convince you love, don't breathe it in
You were written in the stars that we are swimming in
And it has no name
Sara Bareilles - Poetry By Dead Men lyrics
By the time you hear this
I'll be in the rear view mirror
I'll even wear that green dress you like
So when I disappear
You can turn around
One last look
At the girl you lost in the time you took
To make up your mind
Between two roads
Go and take some more time
But me and mine must go
I tried to wait it out, no more
Can't find the man I was waiting for
I wanted to be your girl
In a white t-shirt
Over coffee stirring in the cinnamon
While you read me poetry by dead men
I wanted to be your girl
With your hands on my skin
Stirring in the cinnamon
While you read me poetry by dead men
(While you read me poetry by dead men)
While you read me poetry by dead men
By the time you hear this
Who knows where I might be
Singing 'bout another near miss
Love that ended incomplete
I was ready but you weren't
So jump with your net from this bridge you've burned
Sara Bareilles - Someone Who Loves Me lyrics
Could I rest here for a while
Near that medal 'round your neck
St. Jude's wearing a smile
He wouldn't mind I bet
I can't go face the world
My bones won't hold me up
So tell the saint of lost souls where to find me
Softly sleeping here in the deep end of someone who loves me
You'll let me cry it out
Because you know that sometimes I can't stop and
Still I'm seeking how
To stand up when the bottom drops
The weight of all the world
Can blind me to its beauty
But every time I need to be reminded
I know you will and say you're still someone who loves me
I try to push it down but it comes back faster and harder
Tides are changing on a dime and I'm just trying to keep my head above the water...
Near that medal 'round your neck
St. Jude's wearing a smile
He wouldn't mind I bet
I can't go face the world
My bones won't hold me up
So tell the saint of lost souls where to find me
Softly sleeping here in the deep end of someone who loves me
You'll let me cry it out
Because you know that sometimes I can't stop and
Still I'm seeking how
To stand up when the bottom drops
The weight of all the world
Can blind me to its beauty
But every time I need to be reminded
I know you will and say you're still someone who loves me
I try to push it down but it comes back faster and harder
Tides are changing on a dime and I'm just trying to keep my head above the water...
Sara Bareilles - Saint Honesty lyrics
We're leaving all the windows open
We don't even mind the rain
Or where we let the floors get wet
So what if the hardwood stains
Cause we're collecting evidence
Of one remarkable storm
How wild it was to find it and finally feel the climate
Instead of only staying dry and warm
Rain on us
Saint Honesty
Salvation is coming in the morning but now what we need
Is a little rain on our face from you sweet Saint Honesty
So we won't sleep tonight
While we brace against the wind
Oh these hearts they're weather-makers
We'll go where they take us
Till we find ourselves shelter again
We won't settle for the silence
We won't drown in the tears
We'll say every single word even if we think they'll hurt
Let the rain wash away these tears
Rain on us
Saint Honesty
Salvation is coming in the morning but now what we need
Is a little rain on our face from you sweet Saint Honesty
Sara Bareilles - A Safe Place To Land lyrics
When holding your breath is safer than breathing
When letting go is braver than keeping
When innocent words turn to lies
And you can't hide by closing your eyes
When the pain is all that they offer
Like the kiss from the lips of monster
You know the famine so well, you never met the feast
And home is the belly of the beast
The ocean is wild and over your head
And the boat beneath you is sinking
Don't need room for your bags
Hope is all that you have
So say the Lord's prayer twice, hold your babies tight
Surely someone will reach out a hand
And show you a safe place to land
Imagine yourself in a building
Up in flames being told to stand still
The window's wide open
This leap is on faith
You don't know who will catch you
Maybe somebody will
When letting go is braver than keeping
When innocent words turn to lies
And you can't hide by closing your eyes
When the pain is all that they offer
Like the kiss from the lips of monster
You know the famine so well, you never met the feast
And home is the belly of the beast
The ocean is wild and over your head
And the boat beneath you is sinking
Don't need room for your bags
Hope is all that you have
So say the Lord's prayer twice, hold your babies tight
Surely someone will reach out a hand
And show you a safe place to land
Imagine yourself in a building
Up in flames being told to stand still
The window's wide open
This leap is on faith
You don't know who will catch you
Maybe somebody will
Sara Bareilles - Shiny lyrics
She has her back to me at the kitchen sink
I'm trying to read her mind wondering
What she doesn't say to anybody
The laundry's folded beds are made
It's like this every single day
It's memorized, but a thin disguise
I see what she can't see
Her light only ever landing on me
But there's a glimmer in her brown eyes
The ones she gave to me
So I know we can both be shiny
She calls on Sundays checking in
We talk about the weather again
It never changes, she wonders where the rain is
Once in a while I catch a glimpse
Of the truest things that she keeps hidden
Her secret heart
I'm trying to read her mind wondering
What she doesn't say to anybody
The laundry's folded beds are made
It's like this every single day
It's memorized, but a thin disguise
I see what she can't see
Her light only ever landing on me
But there's a glimmer in her brown eyes
The ones she gave to me
So I know we can both be shiny
She calls on Sundays checking in
We talk about the weather again
It never changes, she wonders where the rain is
Once in a while I catch a glimpse
Of the truest things that she keeps hidden
Her secret heart
Sara Bareilles - Love Song Lyrics
Head underwater
And they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
Breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me;
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one,
You see
I'm not gonna write you
A love song
'Cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to
Stay
If all you have is leavin',
I'ma need a better reason
To write you
A love song
Today
Today, Yeah
I learned the hard way
That they all say
Things you want to hear
My heavy heart sinks deep down under
You and your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convince me to please you
Make me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one,
You see
I'm not gonna write you
A love song
'Cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to
Stay
If all you have is leavin',
I'ma need a better reason
To write you
A love song
Today
Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see
With daylight, my guide, gone
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one,
You see
I'm not gonna write you
A love song
'Cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
Is that why you wanted a love song?
'Cause you asked for it?
'Cause you need one?
You see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
Or you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you
To stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to write you
A love song
Today
And they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
Breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me;
It's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

SARA BAREILLES - Fairytale lyrics
Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
She's got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood
For shame she says
None for you dear prince, I'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming
[Chorus:]
'cause I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows
[Chorus]
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love
[Chorus]
I don't care
I don't care
Worry bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb
Appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause I don't want the next best thing
No no I don't want the next best thing
She's got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood
For shame she says
None for you dear prince, I'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming
[Chorus:]
'cause I don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows
[Chorus]
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom

Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing
So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love
[Chorus]
