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
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
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
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
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
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
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
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 love
Save a little, oh
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
When I wasn't watching
Who we are
When no one is looking
Nobody's looking
What I became
When I wasn't watching
When I wasn't watching
When I wasn't watching
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
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
Oh baby, if that's what it takes
If that's what it takes
Oh, 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
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
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
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!
