Andrea Corr - Ten Feet High (2007) by Andrea Corr (보컬) on maniadb.com

Hello boys I know you're watching me,
I think that I like it.
I'm so tired that I can barely see,
Come find where my light is.

Now I don't want conversation,
It gets in the way.
Just use your intuition,
I'm here to play.

Hello boy, what's your name?
Hello boy, what's your name?

See me walking down the avenue,
I look like a waitress.
But I don't serve anything you've ever tasted,
I'm a plate.
Now I don't need smooth seduction.
I don't need a date.
I would take your complication,
I'll make you okay.

Hello boy, what's your name?
Hello boy, what's your name?

What do you really want?
What do you dream about?
Are you ready for?
Why do you do that?
What are you living for?
What do you dream about?
Are you ready for?
Why do you do?

Hello boy, what's your name?
Hello boy, what's your name?

I get up late
Make my way
Down the stairs
Move into the kitchen
I drink tea
Read the mail
Feel the cold
Find myself a sweater

Could there be
Anybody there
Anybody there to love me
Now you're gone
Get anybody there
Anybody there to hold me

I don't look up
I hear your voice
With a smile
Tell me I'm wasted
Your giving up
You won't move on
And what is life
If there's no one there to share with

You say there'd be
Anybody there
Anybody there to love me
And now you're gone
Let anybody there
Anybody there to hold me

Too late at night
To go to bed
So tired and numb
I won't even miss you
Won't think of times
I fell asleep
And never dreamed of no more night to kiss you

Could there be
Anybody there
Anybody there to love me
And now you're gone
Give anybody there
Anybody there to hold me

Could there be
Anybody there
Anybody there to love me
And now you're gone
Could anybody there
Anybody there to hold me

You left me thinking what a bore
I'm always stuck inside
I've got a feeling there is more
Than I've been left behind
A lot of pain a lot of noise
That these four walls hide
Happy faces go to war.
And dance upon the mines

Chorus
Come join come join come join us
Your barely young come join us
Youd be a man come join come join us
You're big and strong come join us

You planted me in foreign ground
A pen within a hand
At least I am not on my own
In hell I have a friend
I know I find (innocence) ashamed?
It isn't my crusade
Dirty faces in a war
Asleep in open graves

Come join come join come join us
Your barely young come join us
You'll be a man come join come join us
Your big and strong come join us
Shame on you shame on you shame on you
To keep my love from me-shame on you
Shame on you shame on you
To keep my love from me
Shame on you shame on you shame on you
To keep my love from me

Shame on you-close your eyes to see shame on you shame on you
Shame on you shame on you shame on you
To keep my love from me
When you close your eyes to see
You block your heart to me?
You changed his name to a number?
But he survives a child

I want an open chariot,
black horses and shiny shoes.
An off white vintage lacy gown,
I've Juliets hand me downs.

But Romeo ain't my lover
and all that really matters is

Hey, I love you, hey I love you, love you I do

I want a dream my mothers smile
rains confetti from the sky
And dad's got a brand new poem to try,
he's sailing a lullaby.

And happily ever after
is where I'm gonna live, cause

Hey I love you. Hey I love you, love you I do.
I do. I do. I do.
Hey I love you. Hey I love you. I love you I do

You ask me all kinds of questions
Like I, I've got something to hide
And I don't know why this all began.

You used to love me for freedom
Said you'd climb aboard and fly
Now we're on the ground, and I'm locked in.

I don't want to lie
Sayin' it's alright
Starin' at the walls 'round our lives
And are Ten Feet High
No, I'm not dumb.

You don't need to smile
When you hurt inside
I can see the doubt in your eyes
And the fun we had is done
I won't sit and watch you
Go cold when summer has left the room
This curtain is closing
I'm not stayin' to see the end.

We said we'd never become this
And tell each other how to live
Now I know your high times aren't with me.

We keep finding more ways
To escape you and me
Pretend you're asleep when you're lying awake

I'm not gonna lie
Say it's alright
Starin' at the walls 'round our lives
We were Ten Feet High
No, I'm not dumb.

You don't need to smile when you hurt inside
I can see the doubt in your eyes
And the sun we had is down
But I don't want to
Say it's over when I still love you
Don't say it's over when I still love you

I won't let it go cold
When summer has left the room
This curtain is closing
I'm not stayin' to see the end

I won't watch it grow old
When summer has left the room
This curtain is closing
I'm not stayin' to be the end.

Watch it grow old
Summer has left the room
This curtain is closing
I'm not stayin' to be the end.

Say it's over and I still love you
Say it's over and I still love you

Midday in the underground
there's a teenage
girl selling music
for her bed
I'll be the one that
you look upon
and thank your lucky stars
that you walk
in your own shoes
Clip clop past a sleeping bag
and a woolly hat
lying open on the ground
Give money and sympathy
hold your little girl
like you won't see her again
Does anyone know
the places you go
On a day like today
I drink champagne
from a straw
and I get my own way
he loves me above them all
And there's no such thing
as poor little rich girls
on a day like today
I've got my all over tan
and my tummy tuck
my two babies boy and girl
Big house in the country
with expensive bags
for my scary little dog
My man sleeps around a bit
keeps him from my bed
one less job for me to do
I'm the one you look up to
and wish on every star
for one day in my high shoes
Can anyone hear
it's hollow in here
On a day like today
I drink champagne
from a straw
and I get my own way
he chose me above them all
And there's no such thing
as poor little rich girls
in a day like today
A day like today
A day like today
A day like today

Can anyone hear
it's hollow in here
On a day like today
I drink champagne
from a straw
and I get my own way
he loves me above them all
And there's no such thing
as poor little rich girls
on a day like today
I drink champagne
from a straw
and I get my own way
he loves me above them all
and there's no such thing
as poor little rich girls
on a day like today

I see your eyes remember
You know this song
And I try to see your picture
But that's your song with somebody else
You know I love inside your head
Cos I can't be there
You're a mystery
Intrigueing me great
And your eyes grow all big instead

I'd stay awake all night
For 24 hours of your love
I'd lead a simple life
For 24 hours of your love

I'm not the only one that loves you
Hey, everyone does
You've got a map of your past engraved on your face
But your strange heart is the heart of a boy
You know I love inside your bed
And I wanna be there
You're not comfortable
You're volatile
But you sleep like
You've answered a prayer

I'd stay awake all night
For 24 hours of your love
I'd promise black was white
For 24 hours of your love
I'd believe wrong was right
For 24 hours of your love
I'd lead a simple life
For 24 hours of your love

I'd stay awake all night
For 24 hours of your love
I'd promise black was white
For 24 hours of your love
I'd believe wrong was right
For 24 hours of your love
I'd lead a simple life
For 24 hours of your love

Is it any wonder
I'm higher than an angel
Our bodies, they're touching
An you've not yet woken

Your breath is like a feather
Caressing my neck
Your hands, they're whispers
Can't wait till they've spoken

Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about

I'm moving through the city
With my love blanket
My armour of memories
When moonlight met sunrise

I look at other people
Do they wear it too
He's given me a secret
I don't want to keep

Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about

Is it any wonder
(...)

Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about

I've come across the desert
To greet you with a smile
My camel looks so tired
It's hardly worth my while
To tell you of my travels
Across the golden east
I see your preparations
Invite me first to feast

Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be
A heaven in your kiss

Amusing belly dancers
Distract me from my wine
Across tibetian mountains
Are memories of mine
I've stood some ghostly moments
With natives in the hills
Recorded here on paper
My chills and thrills and spills

Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be
A heaven in your kiss

It's really been some welcome
You never seem to change
A grape to tempt your leisure
Romantic gestures strange
My eagle flies tomorrow
It's a game I treasure dear
To seek the helpless future
My love at last I'm here

Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be
A heaven in your kiss

Take me I'm yours
Because dreams are made of this
Forever there'll be
A heaven in your kiss

My life, just when it's going well I smash it all in pieces.
I'm like a magnet to the ground to everything that's creeping.

What am I doing back here,
I thought I'd finished with you,
But I'm starting again.
What am I gonna do now,
Who do you really love now
Getting broken again.

Your life and your covenant to lie that promise you'll be keeping, I'm sure.
I know your every gritty move, it wakes me when I'm sleeping.

What am I doing back here,
I thought I'd finished with you,
But I'm starting again.
What am I gonna do now,
Who do you really love now
Getting broken again.

These situations
Are my own creation,
A dark fascination,
I want to be small again.

I lose concentration,
You sense my vacation,
A prime invitation,
You're getting control again.

What am I doing back here,
I thought I'd finished with you
But I'm starting again.
What am I gonna do now,
Who do you really love now
Getting broken again

Jeannie marries when she's 21
She has a baby one year on and every year
That's the way that life goes
Lost herself in domesticity
A cleaning, feeding entity
She can't recall what she was before

In an ideal world
Kids would keep their rooms tidy
In an ideal world
He'd be home from his work on time
And in the morning I could lie in

Johnny signs his share of autographs
For all the people he makes laugh
And he walks home to an empty flat
Does his best to fight this silence
Late night TV vicodin
He can't forget what he had before

In an ideal world
She would still think I'm funny
In an ideal world
She'd be waiting in bed for me
And in the morning we could lie in
In an ideal world

Molly's sitting in a waiting room
The top doctor will see her soon
In the body nature gave her
Worried if she'll ever wake up
Wondering if she's better off
Why can't she be what she was before?

In an ideal world
He would still think I'm pretty
In an ideal world
He would only want to bed with me
And in the morning we could lie in

In an ideal world
You could make a decision
In an ideal world
You'd be making a home for me
And in the morning we could lie in
Sunday mornings we could lie in
