Silver Landings (2020)




















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
