Dominoes

Here you come again a little lighter on your feet
Here you come again a little softer than before
Here you come again knockin' on my door
oh, with a world full of love
a heart of innocence and all the joy of laughter
and the high of love at first sight
the high of love at first sight
It's true I may be wrong, it doesn't always fall
like dominoes, dominoes
It's true sometimes, you know it's true sometimes
I get ahead of myself
Never pegged you for a cynic
Never pegged you for a non-believer
We were meeting new people and making new friends
Soon a match strikes, there’s a spark and then a fire
Then I look up at the sky, I drift into the night
And get high when you're by my side
I look up at the sky, I drift into the night and get high
I felt so fine with your cheek against mine
Half asleep on the beach lyin' under the stars
Watching the waves break until daybreak
We were singin' along to our favorite songs
Save Tonight, Wonderwall and Chasing Cars
With the full moon shining on us
And no limitations to where we wanna go
We learned the subtleties of connection
And opened ourselves up to optimism
Oh now here you come again
A little lighter on your feet
Here you come again, here you come again
Here you come again, here you come again
You're knocking on my door
Knocking on my door

Little Red Hearts
03:03

|

Tell me I'm pretty, tell me I'm deep
Tell me I'm the best there was
The best that you'll ever see
Tell me I'm witty, laugh at my jokes
I want to be the one you like
the one that you love the most
Tell me I'm handsome, tell me I'm cool
I got this new jacket, I'll model for you
In this new filter, in this new light
I got the best angle everything is alright
Cause we can be altered and we can be free
We smile in our pictures
We can be what we want to be
(Chorus)
With the push of a button and a little red heart
Caress my ego so I don't fall apart
Follow me blindly, it's so easy to do
Be my biggest fan and I'll follow you
My job is a nightmare, my life is a mess
Let me know I'm still wanted, that's all that I ask
Tell me I'm pretty
I need to know that I am!
Sooner or later we all play the game
Walking a tightrope of modest and vain
Like all my pictures, be my biggest fan
I let perfect strangers define who I am!
(Chorus)
With the push of a button and a little red heart
Caress my ego so I don't fall apart
Follow me blindly, it's so easy to do
Be my biggest fan and I'll follow you
With your little red heart
Your little red heart
Your little red heart
Your little red heart
I'm part of the problem, cause I do it too
Sometimes I pretend I got nothing to prove
I play with the filters, I take my best shot
I'm not addicted but I can't seem to stop!
I put on a halo, I put on a mask
Just tell me I'm pretty,
Just tell me I'm pretty!
Oh that's all that I ask
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Your Little red hearts
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Your Little red hearts

Hands Up (No Justice)
04:32
|
|

How many lives will these cops continue to take?
We're so tired of waiting for the world to change
We can no longer live in silence
It's time to make our voices heard in the wake of all the violence
The government is blinding us with lies
They'll try to take away our dignity, then they'll take our rights
But we gotta Rise up, we gotta Rise up
Tonight we'll take the streets
So put your hands up, put your hands up
My hands are up and I can't breathe!
We're so fed up, We're so fed up with the inequality
It's gotta stop, we gotta stop this police brutality!
No justice! No peace! We're taking back our streets
No Justice! No peace! No we're not getting sleep
Until there's justice and no more racist police!
Born into a system where hope is lost
If this is the land of the free tell me what's the cost?
So when we organize we march with purpose
No our rage cannot be contained below the surface
While the government is busy dropping bombs with drones
There's a battle raging right here at home
But we gotta Rise up, we gotta Rise up
Tonight we'll take the streets
So put your hands up, put your hands up
My hands are up and I can't breathe!
We're so fed up, We're so fed up with inequality
It's gotta stop, we gotta stop this police brutality!
No matter your race or religion
We all want the same love
No matter your belief or your position
We all bleed the same blood
So put your hands up, put your hands up
My hands are up and I can't breathe!
We're so fed up, We're so fed up with inequality
it's gotta stop, we gotta stop this police brutality!
No justice! No peace! We're taking back our streets
No Justice! No peace! No we're not getting sleep
Until there's justice and no more racist police!
So put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up!

Some things are beautiful
Some things take time
Some things are golden
Some words aren’t meant to rhyme
I’d like to bow to your god
I’d like to pray to your grace
I’d like to pretend I could fly
...But I’m past that phase
Some things are better in night vision
Some things are better in the dark
Some things are invisible
We’re just waiting for them to start
I’d like to tell you I’m sorry
I’d like to write you a song
I’d like to buy you a present
...But I’ve done nothing wrong
Sometimes it’s hard to understand life
Right now is one of those times
Sometimes we’re closer than we think
All we gotta do is try
I’d like to take you for a night
Or two or three
I’d like to do to your soul
What your grace has done for me
I’d like to just fly
One calm afternoon
I'd like to take your warmth and just be soothed
I would turn the wind to be with you
I would turn the wind to be with you
Yeah I would turn the wind to be with you
I would turn the wind to be with you
...Some things are beautiful

Electric Serenade
03:44
|
|

(Chorus)
Electric Serenade we listen while we play
Through this colorful parade we call our lives
See this beauty that we made is a memento
We need to give love to get love; hold on to tight to let go
We need to learn to forgive and forget
Learn to Live and let live without regret--look
We are all superstars, superstars even if we haven't made it yet
Electric Serenade sparks fly; slow motion melting
In the city of steel, and rivers and bridges and gentrification
We struggle to survive,
While the other ninety-nine they sit a top the hill up so high
And don’t hate what isn’t perfect
I won't let some woman in high heels
and a let a tight black dress tell me that I’m not worth it
Electric Serenade from the rooftops to the roads,
to the people in the crowd;
To those who have been built up
and to those who have been bruised and beaten down
We sing a serenade for the high wire acts, the record breakers
the sword-swallowers, and the insomniacs
Cause I can't sleep at night!
I'm thinking about what's going wrong
and I just want to make it right!
(Chorus)
Don't give up on me I won't give up on you
Don't give up on me I won't give up on you
Don't give up on me I won't give up on you
Don't give up on me, I won't I won't I won't give up on you
So we escape for the moments of fortune and fame
And when we're on stage we try to forget all the pain
We're singing our hearts out for glory and the electric serenade
So we ride into our cubicles, yeah we ride into work
We punch in and punch out just to wonder what for
Then it's back to the grind;
We give and we take, we build and we break
We grin and we shake, we yearn and we ache,
We do what it takes
We struggle in vain, remember our names
Cause you know one day we'll be treated the same
(Chorus)
