A Thousand Years Lyrics – Christina Perri
(Verse 1)
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
(Verse 1)
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
[Intro]
I see you looking at me
Looking at me, so I ask
[Hook]
Am I a psycho? Am I a psycho?
Yeah I’m a psycho, I guess I’m a psycho
[Verse 1: Tech]
You’re crazy, I like you, but you’re crazy, my tours paid me
So I used that dough to allure ladies (?) bathe me
Never know that my minds for sure shady
Pure Hades, Rev X Stady couldn’t endure to save me
Why did I let this stripper burn me on the arm with a cigarette
In the same spot 10 times in a row when I felt that burn upon the clitoris?
I’ma get her wet, sorry to get carried away, I feel stupid cause I ain’t did her yet
Maybe she never let a fine nigga stare at her breasts, I get vexed but I ain’t bit her neck
Open! I try to contain it but that damn dame thang’s soakin’
(more…)
I wish you could see your face right now
’Cause you’re grinning like a fool
And we’re sitting on your kitchen floor
On a Tuesday afternoon
Doesn’t matter when we get back
To doing what we do
’Cause right now could last forever
Just as long as I’m with you
Let’s change the subject to someone else
You know lately I’ve been subject to change
Normally I really look strange
Hang over I’m older
You’re one to talk the heart is a clock
Just like a bomb that keeps on ticking away
Counting down to detonate
You’re willing, I’m lonely
Is something
It doesn’t matter much to me if it doesn’t matter much to you, ooh
It doesn’t matter much to me if it doesn’t matter much to you
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She’s coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say "Hurry boy, it’s waiting there for you"
[CHORUS:]
It’s gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have
[Verse 1]
Where I’m at
You don’t always know, this is you keepin’ track
I won’t ever trick out giving you the facts
There won’t ever be any need to dispute
Whether or not I’m tellin’ the truth
Cause I am
[Hook]
And I ain’t got a thing to hide, no
Despite my reputation, yeah
Even though it’s the world that I live in
You know that I’m with you
Thank you for the roses that you sent me-
They’re beautiful
And you asked me to think of you,
You know I will
Your note just said "I’m sorry, please forgive me"
I always do, but I have to let you know the way I feel:
I left you this message so you’d know
Sometimes loving me just means leaving me alone
She said, “boy, you better say you’re sorry”
Don’t think forgiveness will come easy
‘Cause it’s all that I have to give
And boy, I get the strangest pleasure
Just sitting on these silly roof-tops
And see the lights that go on for miles
And I’m dreaming all the time
My heart is racing, yeah
I’m dreaming all the time
Won’t you be mine?
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah oh
Ah ah ah ah
I always knew you were the best
The coolest girl I know
So prettier than all the rest
The star of my show
So many times I wished
You’d be the one for me
But never knew you’d get like this
Girl what you do to me
[Pre-chorus:]
You’re who I’m thinking of
Girl you ain’t my runner up
And no matter what you’re always number one
’Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
[P. Reign]
I sit back and reminisce, it hurts to think about it all
We was on top of the world, whoever thought that we would fall
Standing by the phone, alone, ignoring your call
I feel like spiderman, you got me flying off of the wall
I ain’t wanna leave, but still I had to go
’Cause what goods a rainbow without my pot of gold
But now your bed’s empty and your pillow’s cold
You never realized the love until my love was gone
You’ve gotta a lotta lotta nerve
Coming here when I’m still with him
And I can’t have you, it isn’t fair
Born March of ’86, my birthday’s coming
And if I had one wish, yeah, you’d be it
Our life is right here…
Oh, oh, oh…
Whoah…
[Diddy (B.I.G.)]
Uh-huh…
This that Dirty Money..
Uh-huh…
(Uh..Uh..) It’s that Dirty Money
Ooooooooouuhh
Can you feel me
When I think about you
With every breath I take
Every minute
No matter what I do
My world is an empty place
And I am tellin’ you I’m not goin’
You’re the best man I’ve ever known
There’s no way I can ever go
No, no, there’s no way
No, no, no, no way
I’m livin’ without you
