In Real Life lyrics - Mandy Moore

I just got a front row seat to real life

And now I gotta open up my eyes

It's too late to wait until it feels right

Now I gotta start the long goodbye

I spent every day

Filling every page

How the world revolved around me

When I saw your face

I knew right away

We'd be whoever we wanted to be

In real life

Somebody loves me

In real life

Somebody needs me

I've been seeing friends of mine in real life

Going through the motions, spinning wheels, spinning their wheels

Everything is happening in real time

Rising tide is nipping at my heels

But I'm different now

I'm not sure how

The world don't revolve around me

Coming out of the dark

With you in my arms

We see whatever we needed to see

In real life

Somebody loves me

In real life

Somebody needs me

In real life

The curtains were drawn

The circus moved on

Once I saw who I was in your eyes

Now each minor key

Sounds major to me

And everything feels harmonized

Somebody loves me

Somebody needs me

In real life

Somebody wants me

In real life

In real life...

Heartlands lyrics - Mandy Moore

I always loved that you're a wanderer

But you wander off when things get hard

All of your greatest hits I've ever heard

Are featuring you going way too far

I've made peace with all the pieces

That you left along the way

I've been watching all your seasons

Just I've been waiting for the change

When you're flying a bit too high (Oh-oh-oh)

When you're driving with no hands

I won't say how to live your life

But I'll be here when your heart lands

You make it difficult to be a friend

'Cause I won't agree to disagree

I can be quiet till the bitter end

If that's what you need from me

You've got reasons for the reasons

How it's never quite your fault

I've been watching all your seasons

I've been waiting for the fall

When you're flying a bit too high

When you're driving with no hands

I won't say how to live your life

But I'll be here when your heart lands

If you take off just take all the time you need

The northern star is always where it needs to be

If you take off

Remember to save a seat for me

When you're flying a bit too high

When you're driving with no hands

I won't say how to live your life

But I'll be here when your heart lands

And I'll be when your heart lands

I'll be here when your heart lands

Little Dreams lyrics - Mandy Moore

What's the missing puzzle piece

That's gonna make me whole

Is it some kind of alchemy

Turning lead to gold

Shifted priorities

Shaking up my house

Deep dive on a memory

Got me overwhelmed

Something about the little dreams

Gets us through another day

Rolling with the little dreams

Instead of waiting on a bigger wave

I found it in the lines of my fingerprints

It's written in my DNA

Something about the little dreams, little dreams

Having trouble with the melody

But I know the words

A touch of uncertainty

Never really hurts

Craving simplicity

Take only what you need

Found out that everything

Comes down to you and me

Something about the little dreams

Gets us through another day

Rolling with the little dreams

Instead of waiting on a bigger wave

I found it in the lines of my fingerprints

It's written in my DNA

Something about the little dreams, little dreams

Telling time with spiderwebs

Digging myself deeper in my mind

What hasn't happened yet

Won't leave me hanging on the line

Something about the little dreams

Gets us through another day

Rolling with the little dreams

Instead of waiting on a bigger wave

I found it in the lines of my fingerprints

It's written in my DNA

Something about the little dreams, little dreams

Rolling with the little dreams, little dreams

Just Maybe lyrics - Mandy Moore

There were so many sides to the both of us

We defied geometry

And we thought that it meant there was hope for us

As if hope is all we would need

But now we hang by a thread

We've been pulling on

To see if we could pull it off

Just maybe

We're all that we've got

And that's more than enough

To keep on dreaming

Just maybe

Then again, maybe not

But a maybe's enough

To keep on believing

We were told we were doomed from the start of us

By our friends and family

It's like no one could see the true spark of us

That's just for you and me

But now our moment in time

Is a moment of truth

And I don't know where it ends

Just maybe

We're all that we've got

And that's more than enough

To keep on dreaming

Just maybe

Then again, maybe not

But a maybe's enough

To keep on believing

Are we dangerous? (Are we dangerous?)

Are we medicine? (Are we medicine?)

Is it a little bit of both?

Just maybe

We're all that we've got

And that's more than enough

To keep on dreaming, oh-oh

Just maybe

Then again, maybe not

Oh, but a maybe's enough

To keep on believing

Yeah, a maybe's enough

To keep on believing

Yeah, a maybe's enough

To keep on dreaming

Living In The In Between lyrics - Mandy Moore

She don't dress up on Halloween

She much prefers being herself

She's not some vampire, she's the queen

She's got her own story to tell

She goes to bed at 5 AM

She'll greet the day on either side

She sees the sunrise as her friend

Same with the middle of the night

Living in the in between

She gave up birthdays as a kid

She never learned to tell the time

She doesn't know how old she is

But you can count the laughing lines

She thrives on being by herself

But she still makes good company

She sent the devil back to hell

But he still calls three times a week

Living in the in between

Living in the in between (In the middle of a dream)

Living in the in between

Living in the in between (Oh-oh-oh)

Living in the in between (Yeah, yeah, we're living)

Living in the in between (Oh-oh-oh)

Living in the in between

Yes, we're living, living in the in between

Living in the — whoa-whoa

In Other Words lyrics - Mandy Moore

Can a secret stay a secret?

Can there be bitter in the sweetness?

Desert starts to bloom

In the center of our room

Nobody can see it

A secret stays a secret

Can the answer be the question?

Can the chaos be the lesson?

In the first hour of the day

They say it's just a phase

So I need to pay attention

If the answer is the question

In other words

I love you more than I can say

In other words

Can't put it any other way

In other words

You're my favorite cliché

I've ever heard

In other words

Is there light beyond the spectrum

Where we least expect them?

I could fill an empty page

In the center of the stage

Your face is a reflection

Of the light beyond the spectrum

In other words

I love you more than I can say

In other words

Can't put it any other way

In other words

You're my favorite cliché

I've ever heard

In other words

Is the memory a picture

Or is it only just a mixture

Of the endless passing days?

The edges shouldn't fade

But the colors wouldn't flicker

If the memory's a picture

In other words

I love you more than I can say

In other words

Can't put it any other way

In other words

You're my favorite cliché

I've ever heard

In other words

Four Moons lyrics - Mandy Moore

I can see four moons all at once

One in the sky

One in your eye

And two more in our cups

I can hear music in the air

Some in your words

Some with the birds

Some that's not even there

Where do the days go

When did the clock start ticking

Picking up tempo

There ain't a step I'm skipping

I'm in a free flow (Free flow)

Looking at you and thinking

I can see four moons all at once

I can smell our whole history

The dinner we burned

Your favorite shirt

And our very first Christmas tree

I wanna hold your hand a little too much

Step on your toes

Pull you in close

Never really close enough

Where do the days go

When did the clock start ticking

Picking up tempo

There ain't a step I'm skipping

I'm in a free flow (Free flow)

Looking at you and thinking

I can see four moons all at once

Trying to catch every little bit

Before the moment slips away

Calling in sick for the hell of it

Take a second, take a minute, take a day

Where do the days go

When did the clock start ticking

Picking up tempo

There ain't a step I'm skipping

I'm in a free flow (Free flow)

Looking at you and thinking

I can see four moons all at once

Little Victories lyrics - Mandy Moore

Don't ask me what I really think of the dead

I only love it 'cause you love it

I never thought to drink my coffee in bed

And now I love it 'cause you love it

You don't want to climb a mountain but you set up my tent

And I know you'll hold my purse for me at every event

This kind of living might be hard to accept

But you love it 'cause I love it

All of the little victories

Solving the bigger mysteries

Where you can do you

And I'll do me

Baby we could meet in the middle

All of the work nobody sees

Are all of the best deleted scenes

Where you're being you

And I'm just me

Baby we could meet in the little victories

All the little victories

Don't ask me what I really think of your friends

I only love them 'cause you love them

The way I always fall asleep before 10

I know you love it

You read through every page of every book on your shelf

'Cause everyone wants a little time for themselves

If you need me, I'll be able to tell

I know you love me and I love it

All of the little victories

Solving the bigger mysteries

Where you can do you

And I'll do me

Baby we could meet in the middle

All of the work nobody sees

Are all of the best deleted scenes

Where you're being you

And I'm just me

Baby we could meet in the little victories

All the little victories

All of the grand schemes

Big plans

Daisies

Diamonds

That isn't romance

I'd rather slow dance

I'd rather hold hands

And talk about

All of the little victories

Solving the bigger mysteries

Where you can do you

And I'll do me

Baby we could meet in the middle

All of the work nobody sees

Are all of the best deleted scenes

Where you're being you

And I'm just me

Baby we could meet in the little victories

All the little victories

Heavy Lifting lyrics - Mandy Moore

When the words don't come

You can read my mind

You still hear me

When I want to run

You're not far behind

You always find me

I feel the planets shifting

And now I finally see

You've done all the heavy lifting

Right when nobody asked you to

You've done all the heavy lifting

Now it's my turn to comfort you

To cover you

When you're in the clouds

Let me shine on you

I'll make it clearer

When you can't see yourself

The way I do

I'll be your mirror

The world is spinning faster

It's time to slow things down

You've done all the heavy lifting

Right when nobody asked you to

You've done all the heavy lifting

Now it's my turn to comfort you

To cover you

If there's a way I should be thanking you

I'll never find it in the words

But as I try to make it up to you

I'll always be your little girl

You've done all the heavy lifting

Right when nobody asked you to

You've done all the heavy lifting

Now it's my turn to comfort you

To cover you

Brand New Nowhere lyrics - Mandy Moore

Walking away from the ghost arcade

Through the fog on pier

All the faces I know by name

Have gone missing

Empty cars, windows broken

Long shadows

Walking away from the mess we've made

When we run out of road

Let's find a brand new nowhere

And wherever we go

Is getting us close to somewhere

I can't do it alone

Let's find a brand new nowhere

I was dreaming of paradise

You were in it with me

I bought it all at the asking price

Fully loaded

Big screens, waves of blue light

Imbedded in code

I was drowning in paradise

When we run out of road

Let's find a brand new nowhere

And wherever we go

Is getting us close to somewhere

I can't do it alone

Let's find a brand new nowhere

Brand new nowhere

I've been leaning on memories

A little more than I should

I need to take the future to bed with me

And roll with it

Let's find a brand new nowhere

Is getting us close to somewhere

I can't do it alone

Let's find a brand new nowhere

Every Light lyrics - Mandy Moore

I hear a lot about you

Much more than I'm hearing from

Stories that swirl around you

Like planets that orbit the sun

I dream my days around you

I cancelled all my plans

Time stands still without you

Or is it moving in ways we don't understand

Till the moment you're ready

I'll keep the champagne on ice

You'll know the house when you get here

'Cause I'll leave on every light

I talk a lot about you

Much more than I probably should

I guess I was always bound to

'Cause no conversation's felt so good

I think I see the future

It's written in your name

Wish it would get here sooner

And fit us both in the frame

Till the moment you're ready

I'll keep the champagne in ice

You'll know the house when you get here

'Cause I'll leave on every light

Till the moment you're ready

I'll keep the champagne in ice

You'll know the house when you get here

'Cause I'll leave on every light

Something To Do With Loneliness lyrics - Mandy Moore

Known unknowns

Screens and phones

Differences between a house and home

Dim the lights

Time for bed

Pick up what the day discarded

Doing things a bit half-hearted

Something to do with loneliness

Remind myself how lucky I am

Changes keep on changing

Into something to do with loneliness

Getting good at fooling myself

It's not so entertaining

But it's something to do with loneliness

All I want

Is what I have

I'm not mixing up the memories with the facts

Pour a drink

Close the door

Time is folding and unfolding

Filling up the glass I'm holding

Something to do with loneliness

Remind myself how lucky I am

Changes keep on changing

Into something to do with loneliness

Getting good at fooling myself

It's not so entertaining

But it's something to do with loneliness

I'm alive

In a different kind of way

The other side

From the moment we were bound

Turned around and

Found a way to be bit less guarded

Doing things more open hearted

Something to do with loneliness

Remind myself how lucky I am

Changes keep on changing

Into something to do with loneliness

Remind myself how lucky I am

The only thing remaining

Is something to do with loneliness

'Til the moment when you're ready

I'll keep the champagne in ice

You'll know the house when you get here

'Cause I'll leave on every light

I'd Rather Lose lyrics - Mandy Moore

I hate looking at my phone

But it's all that I do

What do I need that I can't get from you?

Seems like you're never off the clock

Hands at ten and two

Driving through this world like someone's after you

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

Every picture that I take

Every word that I say

Ends up a footnote on my resume

Are you happy with your life?

Am I happy with mine?

Where is the innocence we hid behind?

And who were those kids who knew where to draw the line?

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

We only get one chance in this life

And I won't spend it playing with you

Some people roll the dice and some people doctor the truth

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

Oh, I'd rather lose

Save A Little For Yourself lyrics - Mandy Moore

Not all pain is black and blue

Strongest people come unglued

When someone gets the best of you

Don't let them take the rest of you

Save a little for yourself

Never give it all away

Save a little for some help

You know you're gonna need someday

You've got a lotta love

Enough to go round

Save a little for yourself

Save a little, oh

Found some things you can't control

Somewhere down the rabbit hole

And if you wanna stop feeling invisible

It doesn't take a miracle

Save a little for yourself

Never give it all away

Save a little for some help

You know you're gonna need someday

You've got a lotta love

Enough to go round

Save a little for yourself

Save a little

Love, it's gonna be right there where you left it

Love, it's gonna be closer than you think

Love, it's gonna be all that we are left with

'Cause the love that you give is only as good

As the love that you keep, is only as good

As the love that you give is only as good

As the love that you keep

Save a little for yourself

Never give it all away

Save a little for some help

You know you're gonna need someday

You've got a lotta love

Enough to go round

Save a little for yourself

Save a little love

Save a little, oh

Save a little love

Fifteen lyrics - Mandy Moore

Young girl, up early

Wasn't old enough to drive

Took a trip from Seminole County

With her mother by her side

Next up, New York City

World was fallin' at her feet

She thought she was makin' music

But she was only filling seats

No regrets, with a few exceptions

Every wrong turn was the right direction

Still a part of me

Glowsticks, pink cotton candy

A touch of glitter on her lips

On parade for the radio station

So they'll play her biggest hits

Missed prom, missed graduation

No college in the fall

On the road with a boyband, singin'

For the people in the mall

No regrets, with a few exceptions

Learning to love all the imperfections

That are still a part of me

Still a part of me

Somewhere between the demo

And the lonely public eye

So real, real famous

Without even knowin' why

No regrets, with a few exceptions

Every wrong turn was the right direction

Learnin' to love all the imperfections

That are still a part of me

Still a part of me

Tryin' My Best, Los Angeles lyrics - Mandy Moore

I always dreamed of this place

Where ocean meets sky

My name on a dotted line

I got caught up in a wave

Of traffic on vine

Stuck here waiting for a sign

Well I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles

Till the last sunset, Los Angeles

Well you lit this fire, years ago

And it gets me higher, I can't let it go

And I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles

Los Angeles

They say it's all who you know

But I dropped all my names

By now even mine has changed

Sometimes I stare at the phone

Like I'm praying for rain

It'll be here any day

And I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles

Till the last sun sets, Los Angeles

Well you lit this fire, years ago

And it gets me higher, I can't let it go

And I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles

Los Angeles

More than I imagined

More than I was asking for

Anything can happen

In a city of open doors

Laughing and crying

Either way, you know I'm yours

There's so much left to do

And I'm tryin' my best

Yeah, I'm tryin my best

Well I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles

Till the last sun sets, Los Angeles

Well you lit this fire, years ago

And it gets me higher, I can't let it go

And I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles

Los Angeles

I always dreamed of this place

Where ocean meets sky

Easy Target lryics - Mandy Moore

Out in the light

Facing the wind

Got nothing to hide

Ready to begin

To begin, to begin again

A man's gotta fight

A girl's gotta win

A shift in the tide

This is the world we're living in

I'm out on my own

The easy target

Somewhere beyond the winning and losing

Heart on my sleeve

Right where the truth is

What else could I be?

The easy target

A conscious choice

Yeah, it's one way to live

Through all of the noise

Going out on a limb

Out on a limb again

Say it isn't so

Then say that it is

How do I know

Where the trouble begins and ends?

I'm out on my own

The easy target

Somewhere beyond the winning and losing

Heart on my sleeve

Right where the truth is

What else could I be?

The easy target

The nameless and the faceless take their aim

I wonder if they notice, no one's listening

I'm out on my own

The easy target

Somewhere beyond the winning and losing

Heart on my sleeve

Right where the truth is

What else could I be?

The easy target

When I Wasn't Watching lyrics - Mandy Moore

Where was I when this was going down?

Maybe sleeping in, maybe outta town?

I spent my whole life waiting patiently

Convinced it all would come to me

My favorite version of me disappeared

Through longer days and shorter years

So where was I when this was going down?

Assumed the world would come around

To who we are

When no one is looking

When nobody's looking

What I became

When I wasn't watching

A little lost, a little rough

I asked myself, "Have ya had enough?"

How do I start to retrace the steps

I haven't even taken yet

The fear of what I'm facing in the mirror

Stops me cold and leaves me here

A little lost, a little rough

The lack of answers all led up

To who we are

When no one is looking

Nobody's looking

What I became

When I wasn't watching

Who we are

When no one is looking

Nobody's looking

What I became

When I wasn't watching

Forgiveness lyrics - Mandy Moore

Forgiveness is not a favor

And sorry is just a word

We won't be friendly later

In spite of what you've heard

I wanted to be good enough for you

Until I wasn't good enough for me

Will I forgive you?

Will I?

Will I forgive you?

You don't get to know

Doesn't matter how the cards get shuffled

It only matters how they're played

Your lies were never subtle

As if I didn't know the game

I wanted to be good enough for you

Until I wasn't good enough for me

Will I forgive you?

Will I?

Will I forgive you?

You don't get to know

Forgiveness, it isn't for you

The forgiveness is for me

It's in the mountains I've been climbing

And the mark I'm gonna leave

I wanted to be good enough for you

But now I'm being good enough for me

Will I forgive you?

Will I?

Will I forgive you?

You don't get to know

Will I forgive you

Oh, will I?

Will I forgive you?

You don't get to know

Forgiveness

Stories Reminding Myself Of Me lyrics - Mandy Moore

Time to go

I'm not taking anything

Can't take another swing

Time to go

Time to leave

Finally recognized

Everything crystalized

I've said my peace

From the phases of the moon

To the half-stoned afternoon

Stories reminding myself of me

Turning a corner so bittersweet

A halo of streetlights from red to green

Stories reminding myself of me

Start again

While I'm feeling up to it

The innocent mask don't fit like it did back then

I hear that song

The silence was deafening

And it feels so good to sing

It's been too damn long

From the demons of the past

To my feet up on the dash

Stories reminding myself of me

Turning a corner so bittersweet

A halo of streetlights from red to green

Stories reminding myself of me

From the cold December air

To the silver in my hair

Stories reminding myself of me

Turning a corner so bittersweet

A halo of streetlights from red to green

Stories reminding myself of me

If That's What It Takes lyrics - Mandy Moore

On the days you need to drift

I'll be your swimming pool

On the days you need some space

I'll be your miles and miles of road

On the nights you need a drink

I'll be your neon sign

Oh baby, if that's what it takes

When I need a day in bed

You'll be my doctor's note

And whenever I find trouble

You'll be my first phone call

And when I, I can't get a hit

You'll be my batting cage

Oh baby, if that's what it takes

Can't we forget about forever

No one's got that kind of time

Love's not supposed to be easy

Oh baby, it don't mean we won't try

Don't mean we won't try

As the years keep slipping away

We'll be the birthday cake

While the world turns itself inside out

We'll be the butterfly

When they're burning the carnival down

We'll stay on the ferris wheel

Oh baby, if that's what it takes

If that's what it takes

Oh, that's what it takes

Silver Landings lyrics - Mandy Moore

I'm chasing after the quiet

Watching sunlight hit the dust

Missing connections, changing directions

Waiting for something, or someone to trust

I'm sitting at a piano

That I don't even know how to play

Old conversations, new revelations

No one to hear what I'm trying to say

Stars tell fortunes that aren't really there

The lonely keep on dancing

Reaching for golden ribbons, up in the air

But I'm looking for silver landings

The past drifted out into orbit

But I'm back in the atmosphere

I'm spinning around, guess I'm still falling down

Part of me's missing, part of me's here

Stars tell fortunes that aren't really there

The lonely keep on dancing

Reaching for golden ribbons, up in the air

But I'm looking for silver landings

I've been unpacking a suitcase

Ever since I was a kid

I wanna stay home, but I know that I won't

I keep looking out, when I need to look in

Stars tell fortunes that aren't really there

The lonely keep on dancing

Reaching for golden ribbons, up in the air

But I'm looking for silver landings

Oh, I'm looking for silver landings

Give Me Back My Heart lyrics - Mandy Moore

All the doors are open

All the games are ready for play

Has the curse been broken?

Did we gamble on a cliché?

Just behind the curtain

We were waitin' for the right cue

And somethin' felt uncertain

But it wasn't weighin' on you

Give me back my heart

If you don't want my love anymore

Then give me back my heart

You were always goin'

All emotion stuck on repeat

Until the lines start showin'

All the nights I couldn't compete

Was it all distraction

From a life you just couldn't lead?

Lookin' for reaction

From a girl you just didn't need

Give me back my heart

If you don't want my love anymore

Then give me back my heart

How Could This Be Christmas? lyrics - Mandy Moore

Moonlight on the snow

Outside my frozen window

Lights are twinkling from my

Neighbor's roof

I hung out mistletoe

Left cookies by the chimney

How could this be Christmas

Without you?

Somehow

I'm putting on a record

For you

I'm wrapping up a present

For you are

At the top of my wishlist

How could this be Christmas

Without you?

Somehow

I'm putting on a record

For you

I'm wrapping up a present

For you are

At the top of my wishlist

How could this be Christmas

Without you?

There's headlights in the street

But nobody is stopping

Just another traveler

Passing through

Moonlight on the snow

Outside a frozen window

Guess this year my dreams aren't

Coming true

Oh, how could this be Christmas

Without you?

I've Got This lyrics - Mandy Moore, Eden Espinosa & Jeff Bennett

(from "Tangled: The Series" soundtrack)

[Rapunzel:]

Royal decision-making?

Hey, I was born to do it

Yeah, sure, I'm slightly faking

But there's not that much to it

Bring it on, I'm ready

'Cause I got this

I've got this

Just watch

[Nigel:]

Princess Rapunzel, may I present your most humble subjects!

[Civilian 1:]

He won't let my sheep graze next to his without a fight!

[Rapunzel:]

Hm...

[Civilian 2:]

How can I cut hair with this guy fiddling day and night?

[Rapunzel:]

Gosh!

[Civilian 3:]

Lately, half the city's overrun by cats and kitties

[Civilian 4:]

Eating everything in sight!

[Rapunzel:]

Right!

Pasture land is public

I decree you'll have to share

Earplugs will do wonders

You'll receive a royal pair

Henceforth, it is written

We'll feed every cat and kitten

Here within the palace square

Fair?

Folks, the line starts there!

[Cassandra:]

She's got a knack for reigning

So far, she's holding steady

But folks are still complaining

So let's not throw confetti

Nonetheless, I guess our girl has got this

She's got this

No prob

[Rapunzel:]

Is that the last one?

[Nigel:]

Well, not exactly, your highness!

[Civilian 1:]

Since we shared the pasture we can't tell whose sheep are whose!

[Rapunzel:]

Oops!

[Civilian 2:]

I can't hear my customers and ruin all their dos!

[Rapunzel:]

Sorry!

[Civilian 3:]

Now the cats are quiet

[Civilian 4:]

But the rats are running riot

Up and down the avenues!

[Nigel:]

No more interviews!

[Rapunzel:]

Gosh, what a huge disaster

And everybody knew it

I had one job to master

And I completely blew it

I was so darn certain that I got this

But I'm not this

Not yet...

Who would've thought how far from getting this I could get?

If I Could Take That Moment Back lyrics - Mandy Moore & Zachary Levi

(from "Tangled: The Series" soundtrack)

[Rapunzel:]

When I let him walk away

What if I had spoken "stay"?

Why did I go on concealing

The confusion I was feeling?

Now I'll never get to say

All the things I should have said

Now there's no more love, just echoes of

A life we should have led

If I could take that moment back

If he were here beside me still

I'd let him see inside my heart

Now he never will

[Eugene Fitzherbert:]

Maybe if I gave her time

Maybe if I didn't go

Maybe things somehow would change, but now

I guess we'll never know

[Rapunzel:]

If I could take that moment back

[Eugene Fitzherbert:]

If I could turn back time, I would

[Both:]

If we could make a brand new start

How I wish we could

[Rapunzel:]

Wish I could take it back

But now it's gone for good

[Eugene Fitzherbert:]

Wish I had that moment back

Invisible Ink (Rebecca's Demo) lyrics - Mandy Moore

(from "This Is Us" soundtrack)

People say it's nice to meet me

I often wonder why

I've studied my reflection

I've looked me in the eye

But I still can't draw conclusions

I'm still talking out of turn

Now I ask too many questions

About the lessons I won't learn

Turns out all my mistakes were forgivable

And the time I spent lost was a sign

That all the ink is invisible

If you give it, give it enough time

Now I think my eyes are open

I take a deeper dive

When I feel the blue surround me

That's when I come alive

When it starts to feel too lonely

When it's out of my control

When the world goes on without me

Will I feel it take its toll?

Turns out all my mistakes were forgivable

And the time I spent lost was a sign

That all the ink is invisible

If you give it, give it enough time

Just give it time

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year lyrics - Mandy Moore

It's the most wonderful time of the year

With the kid's jingle belling

And everyone telling you "be of good cheer"

It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all

With those holiday greetings

And gay happy meetings when friends come to call

It's the hap-happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting

Marshmallows for toasting

And caroling out in the snow

There'll be scary ghost stories

And tales of the glories

Of Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be much mistletoeing

And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near

It's the most wonderful time of the year, oh

There'll be parties for hosting

Marshmallows for toasting

And caroling out in the snow

There'll be scary ghost stories

And tales of the glories

Of Christmases long, long ago, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be much mistletoeing

And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near

It's the most wonderful time

Yes, the most wonderful time

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Life After Happily Ever After lyrics - Mandy Moore (feat. Zachary Levi & Clancy Brown)

(from "Tangled: Before Ever After" soundtrack)

[Mandy Moore:]

This is life after happily ever after

And it's all just as sweet as the stories say

I feel wild, free, as light as can be

I'm ready to explore

With nothing at all standing in my way

True there are certain customs I have to follow

Several small obligations I can't avoid

A few rules too—well, more than a few

Commitments by the score

Aside from all that though I'm overjoyed

And sure there are corsets and buckles and bows

Plus all those names to recall

Still I can hardly complain I suppose

This is happily ever after, after all

[Clancy Brown:]

And now that at last you are here in my arms

I won't permit you to fall

I must protect you from all the world's harms

We'll live happily ever after, after all

[Zachary Levi:]

Now that we're living splendidly

Our dreams fulfilled extendedly

Why leave things open-endedly

For Rapunzel and moi?

Tonight I'll hand this rose to her

Kneel down and then propose to her

And give this ring I chose to her

Life's gonna be like strawberry sherbert

Once she is Mrs. Eugene Fitzherbert

Once she is Princess Eugene Fitzherbert

[Both:]

This is life after happily ever after

And our story has finally reached its end

[Zachary Levi:] Settling down here

[Mandy Moore:] Year upon year

[Zachary Levi:] Contented and secure

[Mandy Moore:] With dozen of duties we'll have to tend

[Both:]

And now that we've gotten the dream that we chose

Now that we're in for the haul

Now our adventures can come to a close

Living happily ever after, after all

[Mandy Moore:]

Now that I've gotten the dream that I choose

Why does my world feel so small?

If this is it

And it is I suppose

Is this happily ever after, after all?

Set Yourself Free lyrics - Mandy Moore

(from "Tangled: The Series" soundtrack)

Locked inside a tower

Kept behind a wall

Sheltered from a world you've barely known

That's the way they treat you

And what's worst of all

Who's to blame, just you and you alone

There's much inside of you than anyone can see

And now the choice is yours

Life waits beyond the doors

So step on through, the time has come, and only you can set yourself free

No one else can tell you what to do

Or who to be

No one gets to say if you will stay or go

So use the gifts you're given

Make the world your own

Look inside your heart and find the key

And set yourself free!

Bound up by your worries

Trapped by your mistakes

Forced to play a role you never chose

Why not test your limits

You've got what it takes

Let it out and follow where it goes

No more letting someone else define you to a tee

You know that you are strong

You've known it all along

So seize the day, let down your hair, you'll find a way to set yourself free

Now it's up to you and what you'll do

And who you'll be

You get to decide how far and wide you'll go

So look to the horizon

Open up your wings

Fly away to find your destiny

And set yourself free

The Forever Now lyrics - Mandy Moore

(from "This Is Us" soundtrack)

They say time will tell

But I think he likes to keep secrets

So we'll wait and see

But it's just as well

The years can be counted in seconds

That's fine with me

'Cause I get this moment with you, forever now

It all hits me at once forever now

If there's a right way to say it

I'm still learning how

Maybe all that we have is a forever now

Been been lookin' for words

For feelings that shouldn't get spoken

It's something I do

I'm starting to learn some silences shouldn't be broken

Just listened to

I get this moment with you, forever now

It all hits me at once forever now

If there's a right way to say it

I'm still learning how

All that we have is a forever now

'Cause I get this moment with you, forever now

Willin' lyrics - Mandy Moore

(from "This Is Us" soundtrack)

I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow

I'm drunk and dirty, don't ya know?

But I'm still willin'

Out on the road late last night

I seen my pretty Alice in every head light

Alice, Dallas Alice

And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari

Tehachapi to Tonapah

Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made

I've driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed

And if you give me, weed, whites, and wine

And show me a sign

I'll be willin' to be movin'

And I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet

Had my head stoved in, but I'm still on my feet

And I'm still willin'

Now I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico

Baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico

Oh, and I'm still

And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari

Tehachapi to Tonapah

Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made

I've driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed

And if you give me, weed, whites, and wine

And show me a sign

And I'll be willin' to be movin'

And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari

Tehachapi to Tonapah

Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made

I've driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed

And if you give me, weed, whites, and wine

And show me a sign

I'll be willin' to be movin'

Wind In My Hair lyrics - Mandy Moore

(from "Tangled: Before Ever After" soundtrack)

Seems like I've spent my whole life hoping

Dreaming of things I've never tried

Tangled in knots just waiting for my time to shine

What if the doors began to open?

What if the knots became untied?

What if one day nothing stood in my way and the world was mine

Would it feel this fine?

'Cause I got the wind in my hair and a gleam in my eyes and an endless horizon

I got a smile on my face and I'm walking on air

Everything life ought to be

It's all gonna happen to me out there

And I'll find it, I swear,

With the wind in my hair

So many roads I've yet to travel

So many friends I haven't met

So many new adventures just around the bend

Plenty of mysteries to unravel

Tons of mistakes to not regret

So much to see and to do and to be, a whole life to spend

And it doesn't end

And I got the wind in my hair and a song in my heart and the fun's only started

I got a skip in my step and I haven't a care

That beautiful breeze blowing through

It's gonna carry me who knows where

And I'll take any dare

With the wind in my hair

I got a smile on my face and I'm walking on air

And everything life ought to be

Well I know that it's waiting for me out there

And I'll find it, I swear,

With the wind in my hair

Wind In My Hair (Reprise) lyrics - Mandy Moore

(from "From Tangled: The Series" soundtrack)

Back to life after happily ever after

Stuck inside once again and I'm gazing out

True, I'm in here with those I hold dear

Surrounded by their love

And, for some that's more than enough

No doubt

But I got the wind in my hair

And a fire within

'Cause there's something beginning

I've got a mystery to solve

And excitement to spare

That beautiful breeze blowing through

I'm ready to follow it who knows where

And I'll get there, I swear

With the wind in my hair!

When Will My Life Begin? lyrics - Mandy Moore

7 AM, the usual morning lineup:
Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean,
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up
Sweep again,
And by then
It's like 7:15.

And so I'll read a book or maybe two or three
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar and knit, and cook and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin?

Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts, and baking
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making
Then I'll stretch,
Maybe sketch,
Take a climb, sew a dress!

And I'll reread the books if I have time to spare
I'll paint the walls some more, I'm sure there's room somewhere.
And then I'll brush and brush, and brush and brush my hair
Stuck in the same place I've always been.

And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin', and wonderin', and wonderin'
When will my life begin?

Tomorrow night the lights will appear
Just like they do on my birthday each year.
What is it like out there where they glow?
Now that I'm older, mother might just let me go.

When Will My Life Begin? (Reprise 1) lyrics - Mandy Moore

I've got my mother's love
I shouldn't ask for more
I've got so many things
I should be thankful for
Yes, I have everything- except, I guess, a door
Perhaps it's better that I stay in
But tell me... when will my life begin?

When Will My Life Begin? (Reprise 2) lyrics - Mandy Moore

Look at the world - so close, and I'm halfway to it!
Look at it all - so big - do I even dare?
Look at me - there at last! - I just have to do it

Should I?
No.
Here I go...

Just smell the grass! The dirt! Just like I dreamed they'd be!
Just feel that summer breeze - the way it's calling me
For like the first time ever, I'm completely free!
I could go running
And racing
And dancing
And chasing
And leaping
And bounding
Hair flying
Heart pounding
And splashing
And reeling
And finally feeling
That's when my life begins!

I've Got A Dream lyrics - Mandy Moore (with Brad Garrett, Jeffrey Tambor, Zachary Levi & others)

[Hook Hand Thug:]
I'm malicious, mean and scary
My sneer could curdle dairy
And violence-wise, my hands are not the cleanest
But despite my evil look
And my temper, and my hook
I've always yearned to be a concert pianist
Can'tcha see me on the stage performin' Mozart?
Tickling the ivories 'til they gleam?
Yep, I'd rather be called deadly
For my killer show-tune medley
Thank you!
'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream

[Thug Chorus:]
He's got a dream!
He's got a dream!

[Hook Hand Thug:]
See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem!
Though I do like breaking femurs
You can count me with the dreamers
Like everybody else
I've got a dream!

[Big Nose Thug:]
I've got scars and lumps and bruises
Plus something here that oozes
And let's not even mention my complexion
But despite my extra toes
And my goiter, and my nose
I really want to make a love connection
Can't you see me with a special little lady
Rowin' in a rowboat down the stream?
Though I'm one disgusting blighter
I'm a lover, not a fighter --
'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream
I've got a dream!

[Thug Chorus:]
He's got a dream!

[Big Nose Thug:]
I've got a dream!

[Thug Chorus:]
He's got a dream!

[Big Nose Thug:]
And I know one day romance will reign supreme!
Though my face leaves people screaming
There's a child behind it, dreaming --
Like everybody else
I've got a dream

[Thug Chorus:]
Tor would like to quit and be a florist
Gunther does interior design
Ulf is into mime
Attila's cupcakes are sublime
Bruiser knits
Killer sews
Fang does little puppet shows

[Hook Hand Thug:]
And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns!

[Flynn:]
I have dreams, like you -- no, really!
Just much less touchy-feely
They mainly happen somewhere
warm and sunny
On an island that I own
Tanned and rested and alone
Surrounded by enormous piles of money

[Rapunzel:]
I've got a dream!

[Thug Chorus:]
She's got a dream!

[Rapunzel:]
I've got a dream!

[Thug Chorus:]
She's got a dream!

[Rapunzel:]
I just want to see the floating
lanterns gleam!

[Thug Chorus:]
Yeahh!

[Rapunzel:]
And with every passing hour
I'm so glad I left my tower --
Like all you lovely folks
I've got a dream!

[Thug Chorus:]
She's got a dream!
He's got a dream!
They've got a dream!
We've got a dream!
So our diff 'rences ain't
really that extreme!
We're one big team...!
Call us brutal --
Sick --

[Hook Hand Thug:]
Sadistic --

[Big Nose Thug:]
And grotesquely optimistic

[Thug Chorus:]
'Cause way down deep inside
We've got a dream!

[Hook Hand Thug:]
I've got a dream!

[Big Nose Thug:]
I've got a dream!

[Thug Chorus:]
I've got a dream!
I've got a dream!
I've got a dream!

[Rapunzel:]
I've got a dream!

[All:]
Yes way down deep
inside, I've got a dream!
Yeahh!

I See The Light lyrics - Mandy Moore (with Zachary Levi)

[Mandy Moore]
All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

[Mandy Moore]
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you

[Zachary Levi]
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

[Both]
And at last I see the light

[Zachary Levi]
And it's like the fog has lifted

[Both]
And at last I see the light

[Mandy Moore]
And it's like the sky is new

[Both]
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything is different
Now that I see you

Now that I see you

Healing Incantation lyrics - Mandy Moore

Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine

The Tear Heals lyrics - Mandy Moore

Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine

"Amanda Leigh" (2009)

Merrimack River lyrics - Mandy Moore

Restless to begin
A wave comes crashing in
The band on stage is tuning
Jacarandas are blooming

Your face sketched in the trees
Puts my mind at ease
Beneath the water frozen
The Merrimack River is flowing
Thunder rolling over

Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are
And don't say you're not afraid when you know you are

Rows of boys and girls
Line up to see the world
Candy coated promise
Just out of reach when you want it

Give me something sweet
Bring me to the brink
I'll leave without hesitation
To a world without limitation
Rock me patient, slowly

Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are
And don't say you're not afraid when you know you are
You know you are

A world that moves too fast
A mouth of broken glass
It may not seem so painful
By January, the rain will swallow
Change will follow

Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are
Don't say you're not afraid when you know you are
You know you are
I know you are

Fern Dell lyrics - Mandy moore

These are the thoughts that keep me up at night
I sleep with the dogs, all bark and no bite
In love with a fool, feasting for my eyes

Fern Dell, Fern Dell
I thought I knew you well

Follow the kicks and punches with the rest
Rearranged the furniture, hoping it would make more sense
But it didn't make a difference, it only made a bigger mess

Fern Dell, Fern Dell
I thought I knew you well

Here comes Malone fresh in from the cure
Slaughtered the sheep lined up on my windowsill
Something's gotta hold on me
Regrettably you never will

Fern Dell, Fern Dell
Oh, Fern Dell, Fern Dell
I thought I knew you well

I Could Break Your Heart Any Day Of The Week lyrics - Mandy Moore

I’ll make this painless.
Try to be sweet.
I could break your heart any day of the week.

Squeeze life out of you.
Wrap you in sheets.
I could break your heart any day of the week.

I could break your heart any day of the week.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
I’ll make you loving.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Do not you disturb you.
Sunday rolls around- but that’s another story.
It gets a little boring.
I could break your heart any day of the week.

I hold on to you.
You hold on me
I could break your heart any day of the week.

Let the walls talk.
Let the four walls creek.
I could break your heart any day of the week.
Those calendar girls-- they got nothing of me.
I could break your heart any day of the week.

I could break your heart any day of the week.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
I’ll make you loving.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Do not you disturb you.
Sunday rolls around- but that’s another story.
It gets a little boring.

Yeah-yeah.
Yeah-yeah.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
I’ll make you loving.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Do not you disturb you.
Sunday rolls around- but that’s another story.
It gets a little boring.

I could turn you on.
I could turn the other cheek.
And it would break your heart any day of the week.
And it would break your heart any day of the week.
I could break your heart any day of the week.
I could break your heart any day of the week.
I could break your heart any day of the week.

Pocket Philosopher lyrics - Mandy Moore

Now I am walking on my own two feet
The sun is shining
My shadow stretched across the street and I meet the eyes of a stranger
I can't quite place him but I wouldn't replace him for a second or a minute or an hour of the day.

I turn the corner, I was feeling good
All the birds were humming, all the bees were buzzing in the trees
All the leaves looked a little bit greener and the air felt cleaner
Yeah, I've must been dreaming for a second or a minute and maybe that's okay

Hey! Come on let's play a song or two or three or four or five if you want more
Or maybe you've got somewhere else to be

Be whoever you want to be
Whatever you want to see
Whatever you want to see

I was awoken by the morning light
My heart felt heavy
I wasn't quite ready to wake up or makeup another good reason
One that is pleasing in a world without seasons
'Cause the truth isn't pretty when it hits you in the face

Hey! Come on let's play a song or two or three or four or five if you want more
Or maybe you've got somewhere else to be
Hey! Come on let's play a song or two or three or four or five if you want more
Or maybe I'll just sing myself back to sleep.

Song About Home lyrics - Mandy Moore

Could I close the door behind me and lock myself outside alone
Could somebody please remind me why this bird still hasn't flown

To a treetop on a mountainside or joined an arrow in the sky
I know, I know someday I will be home

Too many dreams of my house burning where I'm the one who struck the match
Try to find the meaning; a life on fire, a bird will hatch

To a treetop on a mountainside or join an arrow in the sky
I know, I know someday I will be home

Oh, I am not afraid of alone
No, I am not afraid of my own missteps
There's no regrets
At least not yet

Took a bus across the country
My bags were full, they weighed me down
Marked my trail to California
Shed my skin in every town

To a treetop on a mountainside and joined an arrow in the sky
I know, I know I finally found a home
I know, I know I finally found a home
For now
A home
For now

Everblue lyrics - Mandy Moore

Love never comes alone now does it
Present perfect tense
So you made yourself a little world
Where even strangers make more sense

Played the pain upright, straight ahead and with the beat
You can ease yourself into the light or keep that record on repeat

What if I loved you
What if I loved you
What if I loved you
Everblue
Everblue

Fight away the sleepless hours unsettled dreams will make you keep
You can paint them all of your brilliant colors
Just don't fall off into the deep
Happiness is not a burden
Oh, how the pendulum will swing
I have felt the ground, I've seen the seeds out of which grew golden wings

What if I loved you
What if I loved you
What if I loved you
Everblue
Everblue

High above the stars are dancing
To a song one bird is singing
And it's you, my Everblue

What if I loved you
What if I loved you
You know I love you
My Everblue
Everblue
Everblue
Everblue

Love To Love Me Back lyrics - Mandy Moore

I could handle your tortured heart
Even piece it together whenever you ripped it apart
But I could never be that kind of girl
Who absorbs that kind of suffering and turns it in to some kind of pearl

I want love to love me back
I want two-way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back

A sky full of winter stars
Light up the streets of Manhattan
Wrapped in white linens and empty cars
Stretching into the sun
It's all out in the open; a California highway I don't want to run

I want love to love me back
I want two-way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back

Listening to a distant train
I wonder where it's going
Maybe where it's coming from is all the same
Took some time to find my place
Where the coyotes are cryin'
I don't want somebody filling up this space

I want love to love me back
I want two-way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back
I want two-way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back

Indian Summer lyrics - Mandy Moore

I want your number so we can talk
I can't remember the last time I felt so lost

You changed your address
You changed your name

You were an Indian Summer
I'm still the same
Won't you tell me what to say
You were always good that way

Remember singing the whole way home
About an Indian summer so long ago
Won't you tel me what you know
'Cause I don't know where to go
'Cause I don't know where to go

Nothing Everything lyrics - Mandy Moore

Tired of waiting
Tired of hiding
Went a little late last night
But do you know how it feels
Under the wheels turning in the back of my mind

We have both been wrong before
Even though my heart is torn
I only want the best for you

Tell me a story
Saturday morning has brought a break in the clouds
Before the thunder and rain
start up again
I want to let it all out

We have both been wrong before
And even though my heart is torn
I only want the best for you

You break the walls around me and take away my pain
If you can do this for me
Oh baby, you can do it for yourself

Out of rotation
Part of the process of building
something new
In the darkest of nights, out on thin ice
I'll always be there for you

So wrap me in your arms
And keep me in your heart
I only want the best for you

Bug lyrics - Mandy Moore

What would happen if I flew to San Francisco

Wouldn't make much sense

From the outside looking in

Coming around again

All the answers

Far too many questions

All the things we said

Never really put to bed

Coming around again

You know I love you

What am I supposed to do

You're so far away

I stay on track

You're all over the map

Come back to L.A.

You know I love you

What am I supposed to do

I've been here before

I stay on track

You're all over the map

Come back to New York

Is this the only way for us to communicate

I put it in a song

Didn't really take too long

Coming around again

"Wild Hope" (2007)

Extraordinary lyrics - Mandy Moore

I was a daydream
Quiet and unseen
I lived in stories but inside I kept a mystery
I was a starling
Nobody's darling
Flying in perfect circles just for company

And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary

A midnight airplane
A window glowing
I know I am another sparkle in the sky
I shine on copper
Still undiscovered
But you might see me in the corner of your eye

And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary

Waking up to wake up someday
I am my own parade
Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe
Wind is playing in the trees
Kicking up confetti leaves
Seems as if it's all to say

And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be (extraordinary)

And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary

All Good Things lyrics - Mandy Mandy Moore

All good things
All good things
All good things

Not sure where to go
Everybody I know
Says I'm too forgiving
And now that I'm wrong
I don't wanna move on
I just keep reliving

All good things
I wish you
All good things
Come to an end
All good things
I wish you well

Lost inside of my head
Empty side of the bed
I fill this place without you
I keep pushing the blues
'Cause I don't wanna lose
What I loved about you

All good things
I wish you
All good things
Come to an end
All good things
I wish you well

I could think of a million ways
You proved you weren't the one for me
To live inside of your shades of grey
And never mind the sunshine that I'll find

I got so much space now
I got a whole house
With the wind blowin' through
I don't need someone to hide
I got this whole world inside
I was accustomed to showing you

All good things
I wish you
All good things
Come to an end
All good things
I wish you well

Oh

All good things
Oh
All good things
Oh, oh, oh
All good things
I wish you well

Slummin' In Paradise lyrics - Mandy Moore

I'm a long way off
But I'm still around
Sitting on the couch
I'm watching you
And if I take my time
All the others give in
You still feel like you're standing in line

I just know that you're worth the wait
It's of no concern
It's a risk I'd gladly take
From time to time

[CHORUS]
Don't worry about yourself at all
I'll hang your work up on my wall
Hose you down and dress you up real nice

With some brand new plans and a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
'Cause you can tell the story of your life
Without slummin' in paradise

I wonder how you feel
Or do I?
Standing on the corner
How's your view?
From the other side
Mr. Right
Its not a pretty sight alone

[CHORUS]

You won't often see this letter
Handed over right away
I know the first time I found you wonderful

[CHORUS]

Most Of Me lyrics - Mandy Moore

I'm not ready to confront
I'd rather cement my words this way
This could be the easy road out
But I'm just not all that happy
So I'm writing all this down
And I'll file it in a drawer someday
In lieu of a conversation
We'd probably forget to have anyway

[CHORUS]
I won't hold anything back
And I won't hold anything in
Feel like I know where this is going
And I might know how it ends
But I'm still
Willing to begin

You should know my story by now
And why I'm optimistic cautiously
I understand it's not your fault
But I'm not takin' anything back

You still end up with
Most of me

[CHORUS]

I expect you to fly from NY to LA
And land on my doorstep
And smile at me and say
It was worth it to see most of me
Do you love most of me?

You're just crossing paths
With the way he left me
I'm not sayin' a word
But I'm watching you quietly
You're gonna have to prove me wrong
Before I know this is right
We don't have to decide tonight
Just wait for me patiently
And you'll get all of me

[CHORUS]

Looking Forward To Looking Back lyrics - Mandy Moore

Drove to your house in the hills
Where I wanted to be
The lights were all on
And I knew you were waiting for me
And that road became familiar
Like the mystery shape of your heart

[CHORUS]
And I know you loved me in your way
I'm looking forward to looking back on these days
And I'm fine, but I'm not okay
I'm looking forward to looking back on these days

The fog in the morning clouded the world that we knew
It was almost enough being lonely and living for you
And the rain came to our window

And I wish I could've stayed

[CHORUS]

Let it go
Let it go sunshine
Now you know
Now you know its time
It's time

You were asleep while I gathered my things in the dark
The burns on my fingers were all that was left of the spark
Didn't want to wake you
'Cause I knew I couldn't say

[CHORUS]

I'm looking forward to looking back on these days

Few Days Down lyrics - Mandy Moore

It's a take-out weekend
It's a fake-out smile and pretend
If nobody sees you cry
You can say it was raining outside

[CHORUS]
And all that you want
Is a few days down
All that you need
A little time to drown
It's to be expected
With all the weight you carry 'round
All that you want is
A Few Days Down

It's a short vacation
To a foreign nation
Oh, nothing familiar here
Just you and your lonesome heart complaining

[CHORUS]

I'm looking out
Ten stories high
And like a blanket lifted
The quiet night
The city finally waking up
To the morning light

[CHORUS]

Nothing That You Are lyrics - Mandy Moore

Somebody told me, they saw you somewhere
Somebody hold me, cause suddenly I'm a little, cold
Well I must be mistaken, you for somebody else
I know you all to well, or do I?

[Chorus:]
I heard you say
We were one and the same
Well wrong again
I could never do those things you did to me
I will be ok
In time you'll fade
Into the nothing that you are
The nothing you are

[Verse]
Somebody sold me, yeah the same old story
Yea yeah, yea yeah
Hadn't you told me, you were there the whole time

Yea yeah, yea yeah
Well I must be mistaken, you for somebody else
I hope you burn in hell, or do I?

[Chorus]

[Verse]
I know your mistakes will hunt you down, eventually
You'll know that when you hit the ground
Your weakness did you in, and delt me out
It's ok, I have the truth on my side

I heard you say
We were one and the same
We'll wrong again
I could never do those things, you, did, to me
I will be ok
In time you'll fade
Into nothing that you are
The nothing you are [x4]

Wild Hope lyrics - Mandy Moore

In the crazy world
Anything can happen
If you will it to
I'm just a hazy girl
Blurring all the edges
Only seeing blue

[CHORUS]
It's a Wild Hope
A Wild Hope
A Wild Hope
Everything will be alright

Lost inside
A painting of a city on a hotel wall

Days goes by
Wasting golden hours in the fall

[CHORUS]

I catch a glimpse of our reflection
Beside you I see myself
We are the season's new collection
We look like everybody else

Walk alone
Through the crowded streets into the fading grey
Here and gone
Like a decoration for the holiday

[CHORUS]

Latest Mistake lyrics - Mandy Moore

There is part of me that wants an answer
And part of me that doesn't want to know
Part of you that I am in love with
And the part that I am willing to let go

This is a delicate unraveling
Now and then I find pieces on the floor
Tiny little bits that tell me
Maybe I shouldn't do this
Or love you anymore

Someone's gonna have to fess up
Someone's gonna have to clean this mess up

[CHORUS]
'Cause I wanted you the first time
And I loved you from the second
And I don't know how that ever goes away
As far as I can tell
You're really good at talking
So I think its time you let me know

I'm just your latest mistake

I wonder what will make you happy
I wonder what you'll do with it all
I have a map in my head
Somehow still don't understand
Why I always have to miss you
Why I have to make the call

Someone's gonna have to step up
Someone's gonna have to clean this mess up

[CHORUS]

Before you drive me away
Take a good look at me, baby
Picture me not lying on your couch
Well, I wish the best for you
Everytime you go thru this
Before you finally figure it out

[CHORUS]

Can't You Just Adore Her? lyrics - Mandy Moore

She likes chocolate in the morning
She drinks her coffee late at night
You can sense that she is guarded
But that's alright
She'll fall asleep while your still talking
With unfinished books beside her bed
She'll cancel all of her appointments
And go shopping instead

[CHORUS]
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd except
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet?
Can't you just adore her?
Can't you just adore her?

She loves to watch the sunset
But she is partial to the rain
With those tears and that umbrella
Her allure goes unexplained
You made dinner in your apartment
You both assume that she'll be late
She always has the best intentions
Her goodness is innate

[CHORUS]

And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd except
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet
Can't you just adore her?
Can't you just adore her?
Why can't you just adore her?

I like chocolate in the morning
I drink my coffee late at night

Ladies Choice lyrics - Mandy Moore

You did everything
I asked you not to
Look where it got you
I'm sure
You heard it before
How could you?
Baby, why would you?

[CHORUS]
Goodbye, sweetheart
Countdown started
Words are heavy
But I'm far from broken hearted
Goodbye stranger
I'll take the fall
Lies were tempting
You know you never really threw me off at all
Go ahead
Waste your time
Count me out
Take your place at the end of the line
Raise a glass
No surprise
Here's to us at the end of the line (oh)
Here's to us at the end of the line

I'll miss the version of you
Who loved me
And all that they don't see
You said you could be good
Somehow you're guilty
And you're not even sorry

[CHORUS]

Gardenia lyrics - Mandy Moore

Well, I put so much thought into getting ready
Now I know that was the best part
It's so easy to get caught up in what I'm regretting
Forget what I got from a wounded heart

[CHORUS]
I'm the one who likes Gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don't want to hang up the phone yet
It's been good
Getting to know me more
I've been seeing all my old friends in the city
Walking alone in Central Park
Doing all the things that I've neglected
Traded 'em all in
To be in your arms

[CHORUS]

Well, I hear my own voice
Sounds so silly
Keep on telling my story all around
Everything I lost seems so different
Well, this is how everybody gets found

Swept Away lyrics - Mandy Moore

Tried to find one more moment
Before we open our eyes
Give me something more from this ocean
That kiss that we don't have to hide
I hold you the way I handle my heart
Quietly, guarded and still I'm swept away

You allow me your sweet surrender
Through a page of old poetry
That I may have never discovered
But you read it like it was waiting for me
You smile with your eyes
Before it reaches your mouth
Quietly, guarded and still
I'm swept away, like a stone that gets lost in the tide
Swept away and I'm fighting to stay on your side
Alone, I am fine and then you walk in and I cave
And I'm swept away

Took your hand with immediate comfort
Took your friendship right to my heart
Caught up in that feeling I searched for
And I hardly know who you are
I'm holding on tight in the midst of this wind
Trying so hard to stand still
I'm swept away, like a stone that gets lost in the tide
Swept away and I'm fighting to stay on your side
Alone, I am fine and then you walk in and I cave
And I'm swept away

I'm a sensitive heart that exists in hope above fear
And the weight of your words carry just what I need to hear
My questions are starting to settle
And the ocean is calm once again
But I'm swept away, like a stone that gets lost in the tide
Swept away and I'm fighting to stay on your side
Alone I am fine and then you walk in and I cave
Oh, alone I am fine and then you walk in and I cave
And I'm swept away
Swept away

"Coverage" (2003)

Senses Working Overtime lyrics - Mandy Moore

One, two, three, four, five

Hey hey
The clouds are whey
There's straw for the donkeys and the innocents
Can all sleep safely, all sleep safely
My, my the sun is pie
There's fodder for the cannons and the guilty ones
Can all sleep safely, all sleep safely

And all the world is football-shaped
It's just for me to feed my face
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I've got one, two, three, four, five

Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween the lemons and limes
The pain and the pleasure
And the church bells softly chime

Hey hey, night fights day
There's food for the thinkers and the innocents
Can all live slowly, all live slowly
My, my the sky will cry
Jewels for the thirsty and the guilty ones
Can all die slowly, all die slowly

And all the world is biscuit shaped
It's just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste

And I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween the lemons and limes
The pain and the pleasure
And the church bells softly chime

And birds might fall from black skies
Bullies might give you black eyes
Busses might skid on black ice
But to me it's very beautiful
Beautiful

And all the world is biscuit shaped
It's just for me to feed my face
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste

And I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five

Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference 'tween the lemons and limes
The pain and the pleasure
And the church bells softly chime

Whole Of The Moon lyrics - Mandy Moore

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hand
I had flashes but
You saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

You were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon

I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
You saw "Brigadoon"
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
Yeah

I spoke about wings
You just flew I wondered
I guessed and I tried
You just knew and I sighed
And you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

The torch in your pocket
And the wind on your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To get too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and Piers
Trumpets, towers, and tenaments
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
Yes, you climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high (too high)
Too far (too far)
Too soon (too soon)
You saw the whole of the moon

The whole of the moon
Yeah, you saw the whole of the moon

I Feel The Earth Move lyrics - Mandy Moore

I feel the earth move
Under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Ooh, baby
When I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move
Under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around

Oh, darling
When you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down

I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
