Lyrics for Damien's originals on Now & Then :)

[KrisLovesDamien]

So! I thought it might be a good idea to post the Lyrics for the originals on Now & Then, since we don't have them in the CD.
I've already read from a couple of you that you wish the lyrics were there, I agree too!

BUT HAVE NO FEAR, KRISSY IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!! ;D

Yes, I've listened to the album that many times though today, I pretty much know most of the words already!
So here they are, I've been through the songs a few times each to try and get it all right. But if you see I've missed something, just give us a yell. There were a few moments where I wasn't sure, or I couldn't hear Damien 100% clearly anyway.

Btw; I haven't included Beautiful, only cause we have the lyrics from WWL, and we know it off by heart by now of course!


HAPPY SINGING ALONG!


Maybe Someday

Verse 1:
All along, we just got it wrong
and we’ve fallen through the cracks,
of the things we should've done

For a while, I could make you smile
and you told me how your world
was better next to mine

We were so close, to getting it right
we were so close...

Chorus:
So maybe this is what we are
a broken record, still skippin’ at the start

So what if this is all we've got
we move along and find a way and maybe someday,
maybe someday

Verse 2:
Right or wrong, that’s just how it is
What we had was a wrecking ball,
we knew could never miss

On and on, that’s the way it goes
steppin’ out from the headlights,
we watch the distance grow

We were so close, to getting it right
we were so close...

Chorus:
So maybe this is what we are
a broken record, still skippin’ at the start

So what if this is all we've got
we move along and find a way and maybe someday

(high note/falsetto) - He says something here, I think it's 'Or maybe not', but can't quite make it out?

We were so close, to getting it right
we were so close...

So maybe this is what we are
a broken record, still skippin’ at the start

So what if this is all we've got
we move along and find a way and maybe someday

Let Me Be Your Rescue


Verse 1:
We don’t need to talk all this over
you know how I feel anyway

My hands are tied and I’m in a corner,
you twist the words that you don’t wanna hear

So what’s the point of fighting?

Chorus:
After all the things that we’ve been through,
I’m like a stranger standing next to you

I wanna close your eyes and show you something new,
Oh take a chance and let me, be your rescue

Verse 2:
No one really knows which path where going on
That we’ve been running back away too long

But I want you now more then I ever have,
If you tell me that you still want me so bad

So what’s the point of fighting?

Chorus:
After all the things that we’ve been through,
I’m like a stranger standing next to you

I wanna close your eyes and show you something new,
Oh take a chance and let me, be your rescue

Ohhhhh
Be your rescue,
Ohhhhh
Be your rescue,
Ohhhhhhhhhh

After all the things that we’ve been through,
I’m like a stranger standing next to you, Ohhhh!

Chorus again:
After all the things that we’ve been through,
I’m like a stranger standing next to you

I wanna close your eyes and show you something new,
Oh take a chance and let me, be your rescue

Be your rescue,
Be your rescue...

500 Reasons


Verse 1:
It’s been so long
you don’t know what you got until It’s gone

Heaven knows I’ve tried
to see the light in the depths of the dark,
and to do what’s right

Chorus:
But if you want something more,
well come and get it (Hoohoo)

Let you heart lead your head,
and don’t forget it (Hoohoo)

Cause I could give you 500 reasons,
But you’ll know when you’ve got what you’ve been needing (Hoohoo)
It’ll take you home

Verse 2:
Brave not stupid
Nothings wrong, let it go, don’t delay

Season’s change us
where only here for a time and then we’re gone,
And it wont be long

Chorus:
But if you want something more,
well come and get it (Hoohoo)

Let you heart lead your head,
and don’t forget it (Hoohoo)

Cause I could give you 500 reasons,
But you’ll know when you’ve got what you’ve been needing (Hoohoo)
It’ll take you home

Verse 3:
It’s been so long
you don’t know what you got until It’s gone

Heaven knows it hard
to see the light in the depths of the dark,
and to do what’s right

Chorus:
But if you want something more,
well come and get it (Hoohoo)

Let you heart lead your head,
and don’t forget it (Hoohoo)

Cause I could give you 500 reasons,
But you’ll know when you’ve got what you’ve been needing (Hoohoo)
It’ll take you home

Repeat...

But if you want something more,
well come and get it (Hoohoo)

Let you heart lead your head,
and don’t forget it (Hoohoo)

Cause I could give you 500 reasons,
But you’ll know when you’ve got what you’ve been needing (Hoohoo)
It’ll take you home

It’ll take you home...

Run


Verse 1:
A shadow’s on the pavement, stars across the sky
The world is so much larger, then what we see tonight

Somewhere in the distance, the waves are rollin’ in
and when they reach the shore they, just go out to sea again

And it’s all there waiting outside the door,
got a feelin’ that there might be so much more

Chorus:
Do you wanna run
Do you wanna run
with me, with me

Do you wanna run
Do you wanna run
with me, with me

Verse 2:
Must be a million highways, that we could travel down
Tell me a destination, we’ll find a way somehow

Hold on to each other, no we’ll never be alone
so anywhere we land, is gonna always feel like home

Forget about the fears that hold us back
If we ever wanna go, this is our chance

Chorus:
Do you wanna run
Do you wanna run
with me, with me

Do you wanna run
Do you wanna run
with me, with me


And I’ll hold on
And I’ll, hold on and we’ll start out,
say goodbye for now, just for now

Do you wanna run
Do you wanna run
Do you wanna run

Chorus:
Do you wanna run
Do you wanna run
with me, with me

Do you wanna run
Do you wanna run
with me, with me

Must be a million highways, that we could travel down
do you wanna run

Unless You Say So


Verse 1:
I wont sleep, I wont rise
I wont rest until I know your by my side

I can’t breathe, I can’t feel
cause there’s nothing in the space that you leave

And I’m only half of what I’m meant to be
without you I’m just words, searchin’ for a melody

I wont fight, I wont run
I lay down this broken heart until you come

Feel the earth, watch it turn
and I promise I’ll be here when you return

And I’ll hold on til’ I miss you
our words you can’t remember, words we never use

Chorus:
And I wont let you down, I wont give in
I wont let you go unless you say so,
you say so

Verse 2:
I wont write, I wont sing
cause I’m waiting for the beauty that you bring

And I’m only half of what I’m meant to be
without you I’m just words, searchin’ for a melody,
searchin’ for a melody

(alright, hoo)
(alright, yeah) - LOL at this last part! Makes me laugh, I think that's what they say

[Glawz]

KRISSY.... I LUVS YA!!

I was going to sit down when I had time, to take the words down in shorthand and type them up... you are a legend kiddo, thanks heaps

[shimmery]

What a fantastic idea, thank you Krissy! I really wanted to be able to read Damien's beautiful new lyrics also!

[dmac]

gosh Krissy thank you so much

[Spud]

Awesome! Thanks Kris!

I wonder why D chose not to include the lyrics? I remember for one of Mika's albums, you could download a colourful, illustrated pdf of all the song lyrics from his website if you provided the download code that came with the album. It'd be cool if we had something similar to that for Now & Then.

[Trilly]

Way to go, you little musicologist! ;D

[CarlaM]

Awwww Krissy, you ate so totally awesome. Thank you so much you little legend...mwah!

[KrisLovesDamien]

Haha, no worries everyone. ;D And cheers Spud.

Happy to help. I like knowing D's lyrics, they're cute!

I'm really loving the lyrics in Unless you say so. "Without you I'm just words, searchin' for a melody" and "I'll hold on til' I miss you" *sigh* *swoon*

[princess1]

Great job Krissy
I have a correction for 500 Reasons

But you’ll know when you’ve got what you’ve been meaning (Hoohoo)

change meaning to needing

[nixter]

Krissy youn are such a gem.
I think in Maybe Someday. A boken record still SPINNING at the start.
