we all want we all want
time to take the time we got
day and night to never end
we want the summertime
we don't need to ever go
back to what we used to know
back to how it used to be
we want the summertime

I remember back when we were young
running through the grass in the summer sun
laughing in the dark as the stars burned on
heartbeat racing to the radio songs

Does he love me or does he not
lie awake at night while I think these thoughts
wait for you to kiss me my palms burned hot
tried to catch my breath but the butterflies fought

It doesn’t get better than this
it doesn’t get better than this
and I know no matter where I go
I can shine this light I can let it show
It doesn’t get better than this
it doesn’t get better than this

We can fast forward five more years
past the awkward stage and the bitter tears
thought I would forget you but it’s still so clear
baby I’m not gonna lie

I can go right back to those days
salt on my lips and the games we’d play
gonna do my best now and try to be brave
you make a good girl want to misbehave

It doesn’t get better than this
it doesn’t get better than this
and I know no matter where I go
I can shine this light I can let it show
It doesn’t get better than this
it doesn’t get better than this

So I say we take the long road
‘cause we’ve got this whole life
to be real and feel and to let go
and to love what we got while it’s still in our sight

don’t let it slip away
don’t let it slip through your fingers
good things are hard to find

We got the world one more night
forget about tomorrow let your star burn bright
don’t let it slip through your fingers
good things are hard to find

do you know what you do to me
or the mess that I become in your company
all the plans I had all the dreams you dashed
in to tiny little pieces now the broken glass

I told myself I would never fall
until I could find the kind of man who had it all
money and class a college degree
eyes as blue as the ocean from a big family

you can’t be the one (you can’t be the one)
that I’ve been waiting for (I’ve been waiting for you)
I know what I need baby
I know it for sure

tough as stone sweet as wine
you promise that you’ll love me ‘till the end of time
your hands are rough but the touch is light
and I want you to stay by my side through the night but

you can’t be the one (you can’t be the one)
that I’ve been waiting for (I’ve been waiting for you)
I know what I need baby I know it for sure
you’ve got such a beautiful heart (you’ve got so much heart)
and lips that should be kissed (I’ve been waiting for you)
but I know what I need baby
I have got the list

and I’ve been working on it since the day I was born
and every boy I’ve met has left it longer or torn
so I can’t let it go but I want you to know
that I love you even though

you can’t be the one that I’ve been waiting for
I know what I need baby I know it for sure
you’ve got such a beautiful heart
and lips that should be kissed
but I know what I need baby
I have got the list

do you know what you do to me
or the mess that I become in your company
all the plans I had all the dreams you dashed
in to tiny little pieces now the broken glass

you take the breath out of my lungs
steal the words out of my songs
make it feel right when it's wrong
tell me that I do belong
tell me that I can be strong
say that I'm your fire

you lift me up when I feel hopeless
hold me close when I don't know if I can go on
tell me that I shine like diamonds
beautiful pure and priceless
tell me I'm the one

there is nothing nothing could take your place
there is no one I want more than this
you've got me in your hands
so make your demands
I'll give you the world tonight

was I blind to think that I could
hold on tight enough to this love to make it stay
time is rough and time is ruthless
wears you down leaves you bruised and washes away

I grab on to those few moments
play them back in times of darkness
was it real at all
maybe not and I'm the fool
or maybe it was good and true
it doesn't change the fall

there is nothing nothing could take your place
there is no one I want more than this
you've got me in your hands
so make your demands
I'll give you the world tonight

I don't remember how we got started
I don't remember at all
highest of heights down to low brokenhearted
only remember the fall

you give and you take (you take you take you take)
you mend and you break (you break you break you break)
you love and you hate
why can't we be good always always

I still believe in birds and in bees
in you and me me and you
up on these hills these cities that spill
they painted the sky
I know it's true
I know it's true

tonight tonight tonight
we're taking back what's ours

I will be there you will be there
we'll have it all yeah we'll have the best thing
just you and me open and free
they're gonna see that we have the best the best thing

the best thing oh

write it in stone claim it as home
are you alone or are you mine (tell me that you'll be mine)
do it for show learn as we go we'll never know
what we may find (we don't know what we may find)

tonight tonight tonight
we're taking back what's ours

I will be there you will be there
we'll have it all yeah we'll have the best thing
just you and me open and free
they're gonna see that we have the best thing

I will be there you will be there
we'll have it all yeah we'll have the best thing
just you and me open and free
they're gonna see that we have the best the best thing

the best thing oh

if you got heart and you got soul
if you're keeping the faith and you can let it show
if you got hope if you know how to fight
if you're building a fire to keep it warm in the night

I'll let you under my skin
I'll let you in to my world
I need someone to share the light with
it's such a shame to just let it burn

we can see we can be anything we want to
this world is open lets make it ours
we can have we can hold anything our dream can show
lets make it happen reach for the stars

I know what you're thinking maybe I look small
that I can't do much to change the weight of it all
that I'm just one voice and even if I shout
you got a sea of belief set up to drown me out

I'll let you under my skin
I'll let you in to my world
I need someone to share the light with
and now it's time to show you what I'm made of

we can be we can see anything we want to
this world is open lets make it ours
we can give we can take lets make this a better place
we can have we can hold anything a dream can show
lets make it happen reach for the stars
we can mend we can break lets make this a better place
this world is ours

I can feel a change it's happening now
caught up in a strong wind tear it all down
we can start over we'll make it new
we'll build it on the right things build it on truth

yeah we can be anything we want to
oh this world is ours
yeah we can start over if we want to
oh reach for the stars

I hear the thunderclouds coming
I see the blackened sky falling down
into this heavy night and running
cross every street in this town

I used to think that life was better
when nothing broke and nothing bled
but now I know those days are over

take me into the dark
I'll come out on the other side
I'll come out to a fresh start
I'm ready for a change to be washed away

they say that you can't have the rainbow
if you can't make it through the rain
and you can't hope to know what love is
until you've come to know some pain

I think that I've been running far too long
I used to feel that made me strong
but now I'm going under

take me into the dark
I'll come out on the other side
I'll come out to a fresh start
I'm ready for a change to be washed away
take me into the night
I'm stronger than a solid rock
I'll see you on the other side
I'm ready for a change to be washed away

(I know) it can be so hard
(I know) it can be so hard
walking through the dark and lonely places in this life
but don't lose who you are

I wanna get washed away
start over in a new place
I wanna get washed away with you
I wanna get washed away
start over in a new place
I wanna get washed away it's true

take me into the dark
I'll come out on the other side
I'll come out to a fresh start
I'm ready for a change to be washed away
take me into the night
I'm stronger than a solid rock
I'll see you on the other side
I'm ready for a change to be washed away

I'm ready for a change to be washed away
I'm ready

L.A are we still a thing
do you still hold my dreams
are you still mine
sometimes I get tired of your scene
want to wash it all clean and start again

Keep on loving me
and I'll keep on loving you
don't you ever ever stop
keep on doing what you do

Bright lights you threw stars in my eyes
was it all a disguise
is this a trap
I crossed my fingers I said my prayers
I left the only life I ever knew to be with you here so

Keep on loving me
and I'll keep on loving you
don't you ever ever stop
keep on doing what you do

I love this plastic
oh so fantastic
blue sky paradise
make you or break you
keep you or shake you
teach you to fight for the prize
how bad do you want what you do oh L.A

Keep on loving me
and I'll keep on loving you
don't you ever ever stop
keep on doing what you do

(you've been such a good friend tell me that it's not the end)

do you even know how much I care
do you even know how much I’d share
do you know that if you call
I’ll give you my all with arms open wide
‘cause life’s too short for this
to see you broken and lost in loneliness
when my only wish is to see you shine again

so go on go on I know you’re strong

you gotta say it say it say it out loud
you can be who you are and be proud
nothing’s gonna change the way I feel
but we don’t have a thing if we can’t be real
so say it say it say it out loud

girl do you think that I don’t know what’s been going on
because we’ve been friends for a long long time
I think I know when something’s wrong
you’ve been running around with your head to the ground
you’re keeping secrets

you gotta say it say it say it out loud
you can be who you are and be proud
nothing’s gonna change the way I feel
but we don’t have a thing if we can’t be real
so say it say it say it out loud

‘cause I miss your voice and I miss your smile
and I wish I you would just stop in on me once in a while
we change every day doesn’t mean we have to run away
and sometimes the longer you hide the lie
the more you forget how good life can be
when you find a good friend

I know who you are my friend
I love who you are my friend

so say it say it say it say it say it say it out loud
(I know who you are my friend)
so say it say it say it say it say it say it and be proud
(I love who you are)

I don't know why I feel like I know you
maybe we share something from our past
you were born in a foreign country
I was born with the sea and sand

the heart wants what it wants
there's no cause for alarm

Do I have your attention
I think that you know that you've got mine
you know where to go with the conversation
I wonder if you know how to read my mind

the heart wants what it wants
there's no cause for alarm

Fire fire in my heart in my heart
fire fire from the start from the start

the heart wants what it wants
there's no cause for alarm
but I still fear the fall I'm falling

Fire fire in my heart in my heart
fire fire from the start from the start

Are we so different (I don't think we are)
go places that we never planned (take me high and far)
I feel so out of control away from home
not on my own I've got you I've got you

In my heart in my heart
from the start from the start

I know it’s close we’re reaching the end
my mind says run but love steps in
to hold you up against my skin
I’ve never felt so open so broken

We were born to fall apart
and there’s no way to shield these hearts
to build it up and to watch it fall
or to never build at all

I don’t want to say goodbye
even though it’s time to move on

But as you go I want you to know
that I will not forget all the ways you’ve grown me
I wish I could be where you are

Cross the thin line into the deep
you close your eyes and you take that leap
I’d follow just to stop this heart from breaking

I don’t want to say goodbye
even though it’s time to move on

But as you go I want you to know
that I will not forget all the ways you’ve grown me
I wish I could be where you are
but it’s not my time

And if someday we meet again
in a different life with another plan
well maybe then we won’t have to say goodbye

I tried to hold on to you
I begged you not to leave
kissed the air back into lips gone blue
‘till the last heart beat

But as you go I want you to know
that I will not forget all the ways you’ve grown me
I hope someday we will meet again
and maybe then we won’t have to say goodbye
