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
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

Can We Still Be Friends lyrics - Mandy Moore

We can't play this game anymore but
Can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before but
Can we still be friends?

We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know it, all gone

Let's admit we made a mistake but
Can we still be friends?
Heartbreak's never easy to take but
Can we still be friends?

It's a strange, sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together

Can we still be friends?
Can we still get together sometimes?
Can we still be friends?
You know that life will still go on

We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad, old song

Can we still be friends?
Can we still get together sometimes?
Can we still be friends?
You know that life will still go on

Can we still be friends?
Can we still get together sometimes?
Can we still be friends?
You know that life will still go on

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

Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters lyrics - Mandy Moore

And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City

Until you've seen this trash can dreams come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord
There's people out there like you
I thank the Lord
There's people out there like you

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light

This Broadway's got
It's got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tune I might join in
Oh, and go my way alone
Grow my own
My own seeds shall be sown in New York City

Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord
For the people I have found
I thank the Lord
For the people I have found

Oh
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light

And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City

Until you've seen this trash can dreams come true and
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord
There's people out there like you, yeah
I thank the Lord
There's people there like you, oh

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
They know not if it's dark outside or light

Drop The Pilot lyrics - Mandy Moore

I'm right on target
My aim is straight
So you're in love
I say what of it
Things can change
There's always changes
And I wanna try
Some rearranging

I say
Drop the pilot
Try my balloon
Drop the monkey
Smell my perfume
Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

You're kissing cousins
There's no smoke
No flame
If you lose that pilot
I'll come fly your plane
If you want solid ground
Come on and try me
Or I can take you so high
That you're never gonna wanna
Come down

I say
Drop the pilot
Try my balloon
Drop the monkey
Smell my perfume
Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need
I said
Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

Drop the pilot
Try my balloon
Drop the monkey
Smell my perfume
Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Drop the pilot
Try my balloon
Drop the monkey
Smell my perfume
Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

Drop the pilot
Drop the monkey
Drop the mahout
I'm the easy rider
Don't use your army
To fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need
I'm the one you need

Moonshadow lyrics - Mandy Moore

One, two, three
Hey, hey, oh

I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow
Moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow
Moonshadow
Moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my plough
Lose my land
Oh if I ever lose my hands
Oh if, I won't have to work no more

And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colours all run dry
Yes if I ever lose my eyes
Oh if, I won't have to cry no more

I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow

And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan, and I won't beg
Yes if I ever lose my legs
Oh if, I won't have to walk no more

And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth
North and south
Yes if I ever lose my mouth
Oh if, I won't have to talk

Did it take long to find me?
I asked the faithful light
Did it take long to find me?
And are you gonna stay the night?

I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow
Moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow
Moonshadow
Moonshadow

Moonshadow
Moonshadow
Moonshadow
Moonshadow

Breaking Us In Two lyrics - Mandy Moore

Don't you feel like trying something new
Don't you feel like breaking out or breaking us in two
You don't do the things that I do
You want to do the things I can't do
Always something breaking us in two

You and I could never live alone
But don't you feel like breaking out
Just one day on your own
Why does what I'm saying hurt you
I didn't say that we were through
Always something breaking us in two

They say two hearts should beat as one for us
We'll fight it out to see it through
I say that you won't bee too much fun for us
Though it's oh so nice to get advice it's oh so hard to do

Could we be much closer if we tried
We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes
Maybe we could last an hour
Maybe then we'd see right through
Always something breaking us in two

Anticipation lyrics - Mandy Moore

We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Or just chasin' after some finer day

Anticipation
Anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'

And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me
But I, I rehearsed those lines just late last night
When I was thinkin' about how right tonight might be

Anticipation
Anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'

And tomorrow we might not be together
I'm no prophet and I don't know nature's ways
So I'll try and see into your eyes right now
And just be right here
'Cause these are the good old days

These are the good old days
And stay right here
'Cause these are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are the good old days
These are the good old days

Help Me lyrics - Mandy Moore

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love again
When I get that crazy feeling, I know
I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet-talking-ladies man
And you love your lovin' (lovin')
But not like you love your freedom

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love too fast
It's got me hoping for the future
And worrying about the past
'Cause I've seen some hot, hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ash but
We love our lovin' (lovin')
But not like we love our freedom
Hey

Oh
Didn't it feel good
We were sitting there talking?
Or lying there not talking
Didn't it feel good?
You dance with the lady
With the hole in her stocking
Didn't it feel good?
Didn't it feel good?

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love with you
Are you going to let me go there by myself
That's such a lonely thing to do
Both of us flirting around
Flirting and flirting
Hurting too
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom

(Falling, falling)
(Falling, falling)
(Falling, falling)

Have A Little Faith In Me lyrics - Mandy Moore

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark
Have a little faith in me

And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try baby and
Have a little faith, faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me, oh and
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, faith in me

When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here baby, from a whisper start
To have a little faith in me

And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch your, I will catch your fall just
Have a little faith, faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, faith in me

I've been loving you for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
Cos for us there is no end
All you gotta do is have a little faith in me

I will hold you up, I will hold you up and
Your love gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Oh faith, darlin'

Have a little faith in me
Oh, faith

"Mandy Moore" (2001)

In My Pocket lyrics - Mandy Moore

Among the many muted faces
You try to find me in the spaces
You're drawn to my song
You only move to keep from sinking
You close your eyes as if you're thinking
Afraid all along
That in my eyes you're so revealing
you'll find what you're needing

[Chorus]
Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
Well, baby, then I would be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love
Slip my heart in your back pocket
All I got to keep you warm
So baby don’t leave me here without it
Tell me, how much for your love

Hoping the melody will leave you
You walk to where I might not see you
Reach out to the wind
Looking to catch it for a minute
But just to hold it not be in it
I've been where you've been
Cause some how I'm so afraid the love
Will reveal what you're made of

Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
Well, baby, then I would be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love
Slip my heart in your back pocket
All I got to keep you warm
So baby don’t leave me here without it
Tell me, how much for your love

Cause somehow I'm so afraid the love will reveal what you're made of

[repeat chorus until fade]

You Remind Me lyrics - Mandy Moore

When I first saw you I couldn't believe
The way you smiled took the breath out of me
And maybe I'm seeing things
But if it's true don't wake me up from this dream

You remind me
Of a love I knew
Feels so real it must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy I'm so glad i found you

I never thought I could love again
Then you came and changed something within (I'm so confused)
I'm so confused 'case you're not the same
But there's something special that reminds me

It's the way you walk and
the way you talk and
You really got style
It's the way you move and
The way you groove and
i love your smile (I love your smile)

You remind me
Of a love I knew
Feels so real it must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy I'm so glad I found you

[Bridge:]
I, I cannot figure out
I ain't got a clue
I'm so confused about how i feel
Cause I'm really feelin' you

It's the way you walk and
the way you talk and
You really got style
It's the way you move and
The way you groove and
i love your smile (I love your smile)

You remind me
Of a love I knew
Feels so real it must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy I'm so glad I found you

Saturate Me lyrics - Mandy Moore

The desert I wander lacks in it's mirage
There's no mistaking in the barrage
Of sand and wind that tears my skin (tears my skin)
Leaving what's without exposing what's within

Forsaken, left here
In my barren desolate...

My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Rain down on me with life
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Storm around me, bring the tide

My days stretch long into the heat
As the sun brightens my defeat
My lips are chapped, they're parched and dry (parched and dry)
My thirst it builds, with every day gone by....

Forsaken, left here
In my barren desolate...

My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Rain down on me with life
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Storm around me, bring the tide

The dunes that shift, drift and lift in the wind
Cover up my Hope, as i start ot give in
To the cracks and creases and the dips in my will
As I am pushed toward the brink, I drink down arid swill

My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Rain down on me with life
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me, won't you saturate me
Storm around me, bring the tide

One Sided Love lyrics - Mandy Moore

I know you're tried your best
But that's not good enough for me
Understand, nevertheless
Love's gotta go both ways

Well you push me to the left
Then you push me to the right
But you gotta meet me in the middle
If you wanna make this right

But you gotta believe....
So here it is, here it is, baby here it is....

I wanna help you out, tell you what it's all about
What I feel, what I need, how's it gonna be
So what you wanna do, what you really wanna do
'Cause I've decided everything i want from you

One sided love
Is never gonna work
So let me tell you something
That' I'm sure you've never heard of
Tender love and care
In case you're unaware
So I tell you what
Let me tell you where it's at
Hit me with your best shot

I'm giving you a second chance
But you gotta understand
If you don't know how to love me
I will find someone who can
So read my lips for the last time
I tell you now with no regret
if you don't get your act together
Even your name, I will forget

I wanna help you out, tell you what it's all about
What I feel, what I need, how's it gonna be
So what you wanna do, what you really wanna do
'Cause I've decided everything i want from you

One sided love
Is never gonna work
So let me tell you something
That' I'm sure you've never heard of
Tender love and care
In case you're unaware
So I tell you what
Let me tell you where it's at
Hit me with your best shot

(Best shot... best shot....)

One Sided Love.

One sided love
Is never gonna work
So let me tell you something
That' I'm sure you've never heard of
Tender love and care
In case you're unaware
So I tell you what
Let me tell you where it's at baby

17 lyrics - Mandy Moore

Some people tell me, that you're not my kind
And i believe them, but i can't get you out of my mind
Some people tell me that i should stay away
Maybe I will... some other day

'Cause it feel right
And it feels good
And i don't do always that i should
And I know what makes me happy
And in my heart you're it exactly

I don't wanna do right, I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior, for a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think i made my mind up, i got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Livin' in the moment, keepin' my heart open
While I'm only 17

(Only 17...)

I'll learn my lessons, and i'll make mistakes
And If i get burned (get burned), it'll be my heart to break
It isn't easy, hearing what they say
Sometimes you've got to take a leap of faith

'Cause it feel right
And it feels good
And I'm not gonna do something stupid
Just this once, i wanna feel like
I can do what i want when i hold tight
[Chorus:]

I don't wanna do right, I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior, for a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think i made my mind up, i got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Livin' in the moment, keepin' my heart open
While I'm only 17
(Only 17...)

[Bridge:]
Anyone, who's ever been in love
Has got to know
What it means to have a dream
And no one can say anything
To change my mind, no, not this time

I don't wanna do right, I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior, for a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think i made my mind up, i got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Livin' in the moment, keepin' my heart open
While I'm only 17
(Only 17...)

Baby, got time to grow up...
.. to face responsibility...
...hopin'... open...
Cause I'm only 17...

Cry lyrics - Mandy Moore

I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended too soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

The moment that I saw you cry

It was late in september
And I've seen you before (and you were)
You were always the cold one
But i was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to hold you
i wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything, all right....

I'll always remember...
It was late afternoon...
In places no one would find...

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

Crush lyrics - Mandy Moore

Ooh, I wish I could tell somebody
But there's no one to talk to, nobody knows
I've got a crush on you
A crush on you, I got a crush

You say everything that no one says
But I feel everything that you're afraid to feel
I will always want you, I will always love you

I've got a crush on you
I hope you feel the way that I do
I get a rush when I'm with you
I got a crush on you, a crush on you
[Repeat]

It Only Took A Minute lyrics - Mandy Moore

Don't tell me how i had a vison
That this day would come to be
Call it luck, call it intuition
Here I am (here we are), isn't that enough
For a little bit of reality
Fate is good, fate can be real
If you believe it's what you feel

Oh, what a moment
When i looked into you eyes
I knew i got the prize
Oh, baby, what a sweet surprise

It only took a minute, to let you in my life
It only took a minute, for me to realize
It only took a minute, and i knew just what to do
It only to a minute to fall in love with you

Time and time again, boy I've always been
The only one who think things through
You got a hold on me, set me free
Who would've known that out of the blue

I discovered the magic of all my dreams that night
With just one look at you
I knew that everything would be all right

It only took a minute, to let you in my life
It only took a minute, for me to realize
It only took a minute, and i knew just what to do
It only to a minute to fall in love with you

Here I am, isn't that a vision
Here I am, isn't that a vision

Oh, what a moment
When i looked into you eyes
I knew i got the prize
Oh, baby, what a sweet surprise

It only took a minute, to let you in my life
It only took a minute, for me to realize
It only took a minute, and i knew just what to do
It only to a minute to fall in love with you

Turn The Clock Around lyrics - Mandy Moore

We were talking to each other 'til dawn
You put your arms around me and you asked me what was wrong
I tried to be so serious, you smiled and played along
You had to leave town tomorrow, yeah tomorrow you'd be gone
We must have had the stars above and heaven on our side
'Cause we fell in love before we even made it through the night
But you were leaving town, and started another kind of life
You walked me to the door and we tried to say goodbye

Maybe I've never found the right way
I kept my love hidden underground
Baby I wish that there was some way
That I could turn the clock around

But I couldn't sleep, I called up everybody that I knew
All my friends said that I'd be crazy if I waited 'round you
I wanted to believe then so I called to say we're through
But when I heard your voice, it nearly broke my heart in two

Maybe I've never found the right way
I kept my love hidden underground
Baby I wish that there was some way
That I could turn the clock around

Don't say you're gone, I'll find you
Someday...

Well I jumped into my car but as I headed down the road
I knew that when i got there, there might be nobody home
You had gone away forever, and you left me all alone
Now I was on my own

Maybe I've never found the right way
I kept my love hidden underground
Baby I wish that there was some way
That I could turn the clock around

Yo-Yo lyrics - Mandy Moore

It's broken
I know what you want
I'm not a Yo-Yo
I'm not a thing you let go...

I keep hangin around
Got some attachment to you
Way down is still where you get through
I've told myself it isn't right but it isn't wrong
Yet I've found
The more you hot and cold me
The more i need protecting
Can't hear myself singing the same sad song

Oh, and it's not hard to figure out
Why I am never too far from the floor
You can only take me up and down
I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord

It's broken
I can't let that hope in
I know what you want
I'm not a Yo-Yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice and
I'll be on my way
I'm not a Yo-Yo
I don't come back when I'm thrown

I keep hanging around
But can't defy gravity
Rebound every time you touch me
I've told myself it isn't right but it isn't worng
Yet I've found
The more you high and low me
The more i need stability
Can't hear myself singing this for too long

Oh, and now you've come to face the fact
But I'm running fast as I can to the door
'Cause you just wanna swing me up and back
And I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord

It's broken
And I can't let that hope in
I know what you want
I'm not a Yo-Yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice and
I'll be on my way
I'm not a Yo-Yo
I don't come back when I'm thrown

I'll be on my way...

Didn't I adore you
Didn't i bent to keep you satisfied
Didn't I...
Didn't I assure you...
For every climb there is a downward slide..
That I can't ride...

Didn't I adore you you...
Didn't i bent to keep you satisfied...
Didn't i...
Didn't I assure you...
For every climb there is a downward slide...
I had to cut the cord
It's broken...

I know what you want
I'm not a Yo-Yo
I'm not a thing you let go

From Loving You lyrics - Mandy Moore

(I had you, I had everything I ever needed)

From that first look I knew
I found heaven in your eyes
But who was to know, the way it would go
I have no regrets
Glad I let you in
Wouldn't have missed one single moment
I would do it all over again

'Cause I was loved
I was touched
And I learned what love is, and I learned what love is
I was blessed
So blessed
'Cause i learned what love is, I learned what love is
From loving you

(I held you, I held everything I ever dreamed of)

With that first kiss from you
All this world seemed all so right
But who was to see the way it would be
I'll never forget
All the heaven we shared
And I'll thank God for every moment
Every moment that I had you there

I was loved
I was touched
And I learned what love is, and I learned what love is
I was blessed
So blessed
'Cause I learned what love is, I learned what love is
From loving you

(Some people search their whole lives
Never find what I found in your eyes)
Glad I got to get the chance to
Have you in my life
I won't be sad when I look back
'Cause I was... I was...

I was loved
I was touched
And I learned what love is, and I learned what love is
I was blessed
So blessed
'Cause I learned what love is, I learned what love is
From loving you

Split Chick lyrics - Mandy Moore

I can run as fast as the boys
I can sing and dance ballet
I can show you all of my toys
though I'd rather be alone today
It's not that I don't like to hang around with you
And though you're fun, I'm on the run, so much to do
Gotta make the dreams I have come true
'Cause life is what you make it and to waste it just won't do

Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
Had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two, I'm a Split Chick

I can hold my breath forever
I can pledge allegance in reverse
You know kids can be so clever
It can be a blessing or a curse
When I'm with you i get lost inside your eyes
I forget about the time and i realize
I gotta run along and sing my song
I'll kiss you and I'll miss you and be back before too long

Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
Had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two, I'm a Split Chick

Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
Had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two, I'm a Split Chick

(That's right...)
Every flower has to find a way to reach up to the sun
Even through the cracks in the sidewalk
(Whatever.. Sure)
Gotta make the most of everyday
Makin' friends that'll help me on my way
I'll rise above the fear I feel
I'm gonna take these dreams and make them real

Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
Had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two, I'm a Split Chick

When I Talk To You lyrics - Mandy Moore

Remember me
Feels like forever
Since the days
When we were friends
I don't understand
All these changes
I'm still the same
No need to pretend

Where'd it go..?
Do you know..?
Maybe it just doesn't matter

'Cause when i try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong
When I talk...
When I talk to you

There were times
In the beginning
When you were there
When I needed you most
We'd sit and talk
About the future
And laugh about
Us getting old

Do you know
How it feels
I hope that you know that it matters

But when i try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong

When I talk to you
I want you to know everything that I am
Don't want to know what life would be without you

When i try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong
When I talk...
When I talk to you

"I Wanna Be With You" (2000)




I Wanna Be With You lyrics - Mandy Moore

I try but I can't seem to get myself to think of anything but you
Your breath on my face your warm, gentle kiss I taste the truth, I taste the truth
We know what I came here for
So I won't ask for more

I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you

So I'll hold you tonight like I would if you were mine to hold forevermore
And I'll savor each touch that I've wanted so much to feel before, to feel before
How beautiful it is
Just to be like this

I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you

Oh, baby
I can't fight this feeling anymore (anymore)
Drives me crazy when I try to
So call my name and take my hand
Can you make my wish, baby, your command (command)?
Yeah

I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you

Oh yeah
I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you, ooo, yeah
I wanna be, I wanna be
[Repeats]

Everything My Heart Desires lyrics - Mandy Moore

Yeah
Everything About you baby
Come on
Yeah

One kiss, heaven isn't far
You're everything my heart desires
Your love has no missing parts
It's everything my heart desires

There ain't no one better for me
Everyday and night
Baby in my life
It's you
You're my front page story
Wanna tell the world I'm in love with you boy
Yeah

Can't believe it's real
Everything I feel
Baby it's to hard to conceal
One kiss, heaven isn't far
You're everything my heart desires
Your love has no missing parts
It's everything my heart desires

Yeah yeah baby oh
Thought I'd be forever searching
On an open road
I had no where to go
So I said a prayer and
God heard it
Come and set me free,
Send an angel to me

One kiss, heaven isn't far
You're everything my heart desires
Your love has no missing parts
It's everything my heart desires

The best thing
Underneath the stars
You're everything my heart desires
Don't change
Stay the way you are
You're everything my heart desires

Everything about you baby
Oh yeah
One kiss, heaven isn't far
You're everything my heart desires
Your love has no missing parts
It's everything my heart desires

One kiss, heaven isn't far
You're everything my heart desires
Your love has no missing parts
It's everything my heart desires

The best thing Underneath the stars
You're everything my heart desires
Don't change (baby)
Stay the way you are
You're everything my heart desires

One kiss, heaven isn't far (baby)
You're everything my heart desires
Your love has no missing parts
It's everything my heart desires

Want You Back lyrics - Mandy Moore

Last night I saw you the first time since we broke up
I tell you baby it all came back to me
when I looked into your eyes there was something more
that I never really noticed before
Could it be?
That all along
I was so wrong
When I realized
And turned around and you were gone
If I say I want you back
Would you turn around and say you want me too
'Cause I say I want you back
This time I really mean it

It hurts so much
I want to tell you I changed for you
But I don't know what to say or do
We grew apart but I still want you in my heart
I believe it's time to make a new start
Could it be that all along
I was so wrong
When I realized and turned around and you were gone

If I say I want you back
Would you turn around and say you want me too
'Cause I say I want you back
This time I really mean it

It's a thing
I want you
I want you back
Will you turn around and walk away
From me
It's a shame
I want you back
With me
Believe

If I say I want you back
Would you turn around and say you want me too
'Cause I say I want you back
This time I really mean it

And if I say I want you back (I want you back)
And if you say you want me too (Do you really want me too?)

And if I say I want you back (I want you back)
And if you say you want me too (Do you want me too?)

And if I say I want you back (Want you back)
And if you say you want me too (I need you by my side)

And if I say I want you back (I want you back)
And if you say you want me too (Do you want me too?)

And if I say I want you back (Baby, I want you baby)
And if you say you want me too (I want you too, I want you baby, do you want me too?)

The Way to My Heart lyrics - Mandy Moore

You're the one
You set my free
When you're close to me
All that I do
Is think about a way
To make you stay
With me
Baby I'm falling apart
'Cause you know the way to my heart

Oh baby
I knew it
The moment you looked in my eyes
My life was in your hands
You changed me
Complete
Now you say you want to let go
Of the love we had
I just don't want to loose you again
Baby I want you to know (know that)

You're the one
You set my free
When you're close to me
All that I do
Is think about a way
To make you stay
With me
Baby I'm falling apart
'Cause you know the way to my heart

Oh baby
If only
You could see the way that I feel
About you
'Cause I need you
Beside me
Is there anything I can say
Before you walk away?
I just don't want to loose you again
Baby I want you to know (know that)

You're the one
You set my free
When you're close to me
All that I do
Is think about a way
To make you stay
With me
Baby I'm falling apart
'Cause you know the way to my heart

What am I gonna do
No I just cannot live
I can't breathe without (without you)
I want you back in my life
And I wanna set things right
You know the way to my heart
Baby

You're the one
You set my free
When you're close to me
All that I do
Is think about a way
To make you stay
With me
You know the way to my heart

You're the one
You set my free
When you're close to me
All that I do
Is think about a way
To make you stay
With me
Baby I'm falling apart
You know the way to my heart

Your Face lyrics - Mandy Moore

Oh yeah
Your face
I'm still not over
Your Face
Headlights break through the rain
Over London's winter light

I came all the way here tonight
To look in your eyes
I came all the way here tonight
Just to see you

Your face
Holds me over
Your face
It wipes away the rain
With a hundred summer skies
And everytime I talk to you
It's like I'm alright
And everytime I talk to you
I get a little closer to light

You are the face
That heaven shown me
When I needed someone
Someone to love
And stay
You showed me
The quiet kind of love behind your face

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Your face
Let me shoulder
Your Face
All the stars and suns above
Are jealous in it's light
You steal the sky away from there
Bringing it aside
You steal the sky away from them
And bring it to life

'Cause you are the face
That heaven showed me
When I needed someone
Someone to love
And stay
You showed me
The quiet kind of love behind your face

The quite kind of love Behind your Face

"So Real" (1999)

So Real lyrics - Mandy Moore

Innocence is what I got.
It'll take true love to hit the spot.
Can't control my every move,
When we're together we're in the groove.
Don't care about your other girls-
I'm the only one that rocks your world.
Gonna hafta keep me satisfied,
Because my innocence won't be denied.
Baby it's real.
So, so real.
That I just can't explain the way
That it's making me feel.
So, so real,
Baby it's real.
I just can't let ya go,
Baby it's real.
Keeps me hanging on,
Baby it's real.
My heart is under lock and key,
Together we can set it free.
Ain't no mountain that we can't climb-
All you gotta do is take your time.
Said I'm giving you my all and all,
Be careful you don't slip and fall.
It's my innocence that makes you yearn
For that perfect gift you can't return.
Baby it's real.
So, so real.
That I just can't explain the way
That it's making me feel.
So, so real,
Baby it's real.
I just can't let ya go,
Baby it's real.
Keeps me hanging on,
Baby it's real.

Candy lyrics - Mandy Moore

I'm so addicted
To the loving that you're feeding to me
Can't do without it.
This feeling's got me weak in the knees
Body's in withdrawal
Every time you take it away
Can't you hear me calling
Begging you to come out and play?
So baby come to me
Show me who you are
Sweet to me
Like sugar to my heart
oooh baby
I'm craving for you
I'm missing you like candy
Sweet sweet loving
Got me going to the extreme
Won't go without it
This vibe has gotta hold on me
Satisfying baby
Let me show what i'm made of
No doubt about it
Got me feeling crazy can't get enough.
So baby come to me
Show me who you are
Sweet to me
Like sugar to my heart
oooh baby
I'm craving for you
I'm missing you like candy
So baby come to me
Show me who you are
Sweet to me
Like sugar to my heart
oooh baby
I'm craving for you
I'm missing you like candy
Now give it to me
You know who you are
Your love's as sweet as candy
I'll be forever yours
Love always, Mandy
Boy I'm cravin'
Missin' you like candy
So baby come to me
Show me who you are
Sweet to me
Like sugar to my heart

Sweet to me
Like sugar to my heart
oooh baby

What You Want lyrics - Mandy Moore

I....
Love to love you
I...
Love to love you
Some boys are full of noise But boy you caught my ear
Wanna see if you got something to say
No lies or alibies
The nonsense stops here
Be my man you can be on your way
Play it smart boy
(Whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do)
If you wanna reach me
Touch my heart boy
(Whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do)
Cuz that's how to please me

As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
What you want

All I ask of you
Is baby you love me
Some boys want pretty toys
But I'm so much more
Can't you see that I'm a girl you can trust
Get real with how you feel
Or I'm out that door
Is it love or is it only a crush
Listen up boy
(Whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do)
And stop talking smack now
Back it up boy
(Whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do)
Boy step off that track now

As long as you love me (as long as you love me)

As long as you love me (as long as you love me)

Walk Me Home lyrics - Mandy Moore

Baby would you walk me home
I don't want to go all the way alone
Baby would you walk with me home
Baby would you take my hand
Come with me now to our special land,
Baby would you walk with me home
It's three a.m. and you're on my mind once again
I must have been dreaming
I thought I felt your heartbeat just then
Then I wondered how it would be
if I was your lady and you were my friend
I would put my heart in your hands
And it would never end
Baby would you walk me home
I don't want to go all the way alone
Baby would you walk with me home
Baby would you take my hand
Come with me now to our special land,
Baby would you walk with me home
I hold your picture next to my heart all the time
Oh yeah baby
You're my dream come true so glad you're mine
Then I wondered how it would be
if I was your lady and you were my friend
I would put my heart in your hands
And it would never end
Baby would you walk me home
I don't want to go all the way alone
Baby would you walk with me home
Baby would you take my hand
Come with me now to our special land,
Baby would you walk with me home
Every day and night I want to hold you
Understand that I am going to love you
In my own special way
Baby would you walk me home
I don't want to go all the way alone
Baby would you walk with me home
Baby would you take my hand
Come with me now to our special land,
Baby would you walk with me home

Lock Me In Your Heart lyrics - Mandy Moore

Mandy, Mandy, the sound of your voice is sweet like candy
There was a time when I was all alone
Waiting for someone I could call my own
I closed my eyes and dreamt you up one day
My prince of charms would ride up and we'd fly a way
Take me to a place where
The magic between us becomes real
Take me all the way
Boy I want you to
Lock me in your heart and throw away the key
Show me love the way it's supposed to be
Lock me in your heart and never let me go
I must confess you are the best
So baby come and take me
Take me baby take me away
We'll dance together
Where no one can see
With you alone is where I want to be
Uncharted territory we'll discover
You'll always be my dream lover
Take me to a place where
The magic between us becomes real
Take me all the way
Boy I want you to
Lock me in your heart and throw away the key
Show me love the way it's supposed to be
Lock me in your heart and never let me go
I must confess you are the best
So baby come and take me
Take me baby take me away
Lock me in your heart
Oh, baby, oh
Lock me in your heart
So baby come and take
Take me to a place where
The magic between us becomes real
Take me all the way
Boy I want you to
Lock me in your heart and throw away the key
Show me love the way it's supposed to be
Lock me in your heart and never let me go
I must confess you are the best
So baby come and take me
Boy I want you to
Lock me in your heart and throw away the key
Show me love the way it's supposed to be
Lock me in your heart and never let me go
I must confess you are the best
So baby come and take me
Take me baby take me away
Take me baby take me away

Quit Breaking My Heart lyrics - Mandy Moore

You were my first slow dance
Thouht that we had a chance
But together it was too hard for you
Hanging out with your friends
And I accepted things
All I need is for you to be true
I know you care
But it's just not fair
When you're not around I want you there
And I need you to stop breaking my heart...
Quit breaking my heart
It's tearing apart
All I need is for you to be true
Quit breaking my heart
It's tearing us apart
Baby quit breaking my heart
Baby I don't feel this way about everyone
Something about you boy
Nothing seems to be quite like this
Holding your hand
Touching my face
Standing here waiting for our first kiss
I know you care
But it's just not fair
When you're not around I want you there
And I need you to stop breaking my heart...
Quit breaking my heart
It's tearing apart
All I need is for you to be true
Quit breaking my heart
It's tearing us apart
Baby quit breaking my heart
Quit breaking my heart
I know you care
But it's just not fair
When you're not around I want you there
And I need you to stop breaking my heart...
Quit breaking my heart
It's tearing apart
All I need is for you to be true
Quit breaking my heart
It's tearing us apart
Baby quit breaking my heart

Let Me Be the One lyrics - Mandy Moore

Let me be, let me be
Baby, let me be the only one
Let me be the one
You give your love to
The only one
Let me be the one
You give your love to
I hear your records on the radio
I see you talking on the late night show
Every girl wants to be your friend
Don't you know you're always on my mind
Oh how I've missed you since you hit the big time
You hurt me, I just can't pretend
We used to be together
Making dreams, making plans
But you left that world behind
Now I'm asking you won't you
Let me be the one
You give your love to
The one you need baby, baby
Let me be the one
You give your love to
The one that gives you loving, oh, oh
Let me be, let me be
Baby let me be the only one
I see the sadness in your eyes
Don't you get lonely for me sometimes
Long for the love we had
I'll be waiting when that day it comes
You need somebody
Won't you let me be the one
Come to me, put yourself in my hands
We used to be together
Making dreams, making plans
But you left that world behind
Now I'm asking you won't you
Let me be the one
You give your love to
The one you need baby, baby
Let me be the one
You give your love to
The one that gives you loving, oh, oh
Let me be, let me be
Baby let me be the only one
Let me be, let me be
Baby let me be the only one
Let me be, let me be
Baby let me be the only one
Let me be the one

Not Too Young lyrics - Mandy Moore

You looked at my face
Thought you could get me
Better look twice
It won't be that easy
Think it's because you're a little older
All you'll get from me is my cold shoulder
You shouldn't judge someone by what you see
You may be wrong
Like you were wrong about me
I'm not too young to know
The right things to do
And one of those things is
Not to fall for you
Boy I don't want no play
Didn't you hear me say
I'm not going to fall for you
So please just go away
It didn't work out the way that you planned
Bragged to your friends
Said you were the man
Now what you going to do
Since your plan is blown
Couldn't get this little girl
Now you're crying all alone
Too bad you judged me by first sight
It's too late now
So kiss your chance goodnight
I'm not too young to know
The right things to do
And one of those things is
Not to fall for you
Boy I don't want no play
Didn't you hear me say
I'm not going to fall for you
So please just go away
You say you want me
When you don't really know who I am
I don't wanna play no games
So catch me if you can
It didn't work out the way that you planned
Bragged to your friends
Said you were the man
Now what you going to do
Since your plan is blown
Couldn't get this little girl
Couldn't get this little girl
Now you're crying all alone
I'm not too young to know
The right things to do
And one of those things is
Not to fall for you
Boy I don't want no play
Didn't you hear me say
I'm not going to fall for you
So please just go away I'm not too young to know
The right things to do
And one of those things is
Not to fall for you
Boy I don't want no play
Didn't you hear me say
I'm not going to fall for you
So please just go away

Love Shot lyrics - Mandy Moore

Here we are now face to face
Gonna make it very clear
'Cause I don't have time to waste
If your heart is insincere
Tonight is gonna be the night
Tell ya how it's gonna be
Gonna give my love to you
If you give it back to me
That's the way I planned it
That's our destiny
It only takes a minute
So come and go with me
Ain't no doubt about it
I'm so into you
Tell ya just what I'm gonna do
Hit you with my love shot
Tell me can handle this
Or is it too hot?
Only gonna take one kiss to show what I've got
'Cause I won't stop
With my love shot
I don't care what you did before
'Cause now it's a brand new game
I'm everything you're searching for
And you'll never be the same
Real love is what I'm all about
Don't you know I play for keeps
So if you wanna treat me right
Then you'll get the best of me

There's nowhere to hide
No words to explain
When you feel it deep inside
Take you on a journey
Sure to satisfy

Hit you with my love shot
Tell me can handle this
Or is it too hot?
Only gonna take one kiss to show what I've got
'Cause I won't stop

And this is how it's meant to be
