Something About Us - CLAY AIKEN

Something About Us - CLAY AIKEN

Stop the music, play the song
We'll dance together all night long
The spotlight glows, somehow it knows,
That there's something about us
Something about us

People smile when they walk by
There's too much magic to deny
A fool can see we're meant to be
'cause there's something about us,
something about us

The words on every poet's tongue
Every love song ever sung
about us, it's about us
From Romeo and Juliet,
to plays they haven't written yet
It's old and new, it's a classic tale of two
of our perfectly perfect love

You can see it in our ways
in how we spend our nights and days
A crazy laugh, a photograph
There's just something about
something about us

The words on every poet's tongue
Every love song ever sung
about us, it's about us
From Romeo and Juliet,
to plays they haven't written yet
It's old and new, it's a classic tale of two
of our perfectly perfect love

So stop the music, play the song
And we'll dance together all night long
We'll reminisce of moments like this
Cause there's something about us
something about us
yes, there something about us....

Where I Draw The Line - CLAY AIKEN

Where I Draw The Line - CLAY AIKEN

It's all as it should be
You're the best thing that ever happened to me
I melt every time we kiss
I never felt anything like this
It's almost too perfect
And just like the thunder brings the rain
Something beautiful brings on the pain

It looks like it's going to be the same this time around
I want to let you in but I don't know how
I've been here one to many times
Seems like whenever I let somebody get this close
I'm right back where I got hurt the most
And that's why, oh that's why
Around my heart is where I draw the line

I wish I could just forget
Not have one more regret behind me to remind me
What I've given up
Could I ever live with this
Knowing that I might have missed my last chance
For love to find me
I could stay here drowning in the rain
Unless you have the strength to save me
Nothing's going to change

And it's going to be the same this time around
I want to let you in but I don't know how
I've been here one to many times
Seems whenever I let somebody get this close
I'm right back where I got hurt the most
And that's why, oh that's why
Around my heart is where I draw the line

Either you're gonna rescue me
Or you're gonna be the death of me

It's going to be the same this time around
I want to let you in but I don't know how
I've been here one to many times
Whenever I let somebody get this close
I'm right back where I got hurt the most
And that's why, oh that's why
Around my heart is where I draw the line

Around my heart is where I draw the line

The Real Me - CLAY AIKEN

The Real Me - CLAY AIKEN

Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I'm empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me
Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me
And you love me just as I am
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me

Everything I Don't Need - CLAY AIKEN

Everything I Don't Need - CLAY AIKEN

Get out of my dreams
There's no room left
Get out of my bed.
we did goodbye yesterday
Don't you think I heard what you said

You want to much
You play to hard

Well, well you invade my morning light again
Don't wanna answer the phone
I went to sleep last night angry
I'm sure I was alone
You know me well
Always ring my bell

And tell me what would I want from you
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there's no way I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far,
But it has to stop
You're everything
Everything I don't need.

I don't wanna listen to answers
To the questions I didn't ask
It's all about you I wanna move out
before the breakdown starts.

It's all wrong
Won't you let me go

And tell me what would I want from you
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there's no way I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far,
But it has to stop
You're everything
Everything I don't need.

You fill my head
You block my view
It's killing me
You're everything I don't need

If it's all I do I'll be free cause you've taken everything
Everything I don't need
What would I want from you ohhhh
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there's no way I understand what you do.
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far,
but it has to stop
You're everything
ohhhh
everything I don't need.

Last of a dying breed
Everything I don't need

Weight Of The World - CLAY AIKEN

Weight Of The World - CLAY AIKEN

Has anybody else but me
Ever felt this way before
Like the world is spinning much too fast
And you're falling through the floor

Struck by lightning
It's so frightening
When the morning feels like war
Unbreakable, don't you wish you were unbreakable

[Chorus]
So when you fall down down down
Don't get down on you
Don't you know that everybody gets down down down
Why you tryin' to carry the weight of the world

Some folks say that we've been blessed
And I know deep down they're right
But when you're feelin' cold, alone and desperate
And can't get through the night

It seems the only time you test your wings
Is when you're crashing through the sky
Unbreakable, don't you wish you were unbreakable

[Chorus]
So when you fall down down down
Don't get down on you
Don't you know that everybody gets down down down
Why you tryin' to carry the weight of the world

Has anybody else but me ever felt this way before

[Chorus]
So when you fall down down down
Don't get down on you
Don't you know that everybody gets down down down
Why you tryin' to carry the weight of the world

I know it's hard to see
From where you are right now
I know it's hard to breathe
Just let the world go round round round
