Ordinary DayJust a day, Just an ordinary day. Just tryin to get by. Just a boy, Just an ordinary boy. But he was looking to the sky. And as he asked if i would come along I started to realize- That everyday you find Just what he's looking for, Like a shooting star he shines. He said take my hand, Live while you can Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand? And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words Although they did not feel For I felt what I had not felt before You'd swear those words could heal. And as I looked up into those eyes His vision borrows mine. And to know he's no stranger, For I feel I've held him for all of time. And he said take my hand, Live while you can Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand In the pal of your hand. Please come with me, See what I see. Touch the stars for time will not flee. Time will not flee. And you must be Just a dream, just an ordinary dream. As I wake in bed And the boy, that boy, that ordinary boy. Or was it all in my head? Did he asked if I would come along It all seemed so real. But as i looked to the door, I saw that boy standing there with a deal. And he said he my take my hand, Live while you can, Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand Right in the palm of your hand, Right in the palm of your hand. Just a day, just an ordinary day Jus tryin to get by. Just a boy, Just an ordinary boy. But he was looking to the sky.

Vanessa Carlton Index ParadiseOnce upon a year gone by She saw herself give in Every time she closed her eyes She saw what could have been Well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds When covers tucked in tight Finally when the bottom drops She forgets to fight To fight And it's one more day in paradise One more day in paradise As darkness quickly steals the light That's shined within her eyes She slowly swallows all her fear And soothes her mind with lies Well all she wants and all she needs Are reasons to survive A day in which the sun will take her artificial light Her light And its one more day in Paradise One more day in Paradise One more day in Paradise It's one more day in Paradise One last chance to feel alright Alright Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out Don't pretend to hold it in just push it out Don't you try to hold it in just let it out Don't you try to hold it in hold it in One more day in Paradise One more day in Paradise It's one more day in Paradise One last chance to feel alright Once upon a year gone by She saw herself give in Every time she closed her eyes She saw what could have been Vanessa Carlton Index PrinceWilling and able to run I am Willing and

their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see a line of cars and they are painted black With flowers and my love both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a new born baby it just happens every day I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door and it's heading into black Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black I wanna see it painted painted, painted black, oh baby I wanna see it painted painted, painted black, oh baby No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not foresee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the setting sun My love will laugh with me before the morning comes I wanna see it painted, painted black, oh Black as night, black as coal I wanna see the sun blotted from the sky Painted, painted, painted black oh baby Painted painted, painted black Vanessa Carlton Index WantedI have

walked into my life and showed what needed to be shown And I always knew what was right, just didn’t know that I might Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight And I will never see the sky the same way And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday And I will never cease to fly if held down And I will always reach too high ‘Cause I’ve seen, ‘cause I’ve seen Twilight Never cared, never wanted, never sought to see what flaunted So on purpose, so in my face, couldn’t see beyond my own place And it was so easy not to behold what I could hold But you showed me I could change whatever came within these shallow days And I will never see the sky the same way And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday And I will never cease to fly if held down And I will always reach too high 'Cause I've seen, 'cause I've seen Twilight As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead Fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead And I didn’t know that I could be so blind to all that is so real But as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed and... And I will never see the sky the same way And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday And I will never cease to fly if held down And I will always reach too high 'Cause I've seen, 'cause I've seen Twilight I was stained with a role in a day and on my own As you walked into my life and showed what needed to be shown And I always knew what was right, just didn’t know that I might Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight And I will never see the sky the same way And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday And I will never cease to fly if held down And I will always reach too high 'Cause I've seen, 'cause I've seen Twilight Vanessa Carlton Index |
