Finding Islands

When I was young, the question was
“What do you want to be?”
A fireman? An astronaut?
Tell me your hopes and dreams
Well, I said
Life is just a game
It’s not about where you are headed
It’s where you stop along the way
So I’ll keep finding islands to lay around
And I’ll keep finding shores where we can sing out loud
Every day is a new beginning
I’m gonna keep on keep on living
Might as well find my paradise here on the ground.
They say in order to achieve
You sacrifice some things
So we give up what we believe
For a shot at being king
Well, who cares
If you’re royalty
If the one you love ain’t there with you
The world don’t mean a thing
So I'll keep finding islands to lay around
I'll keep finding shores where we can sing out loud
Every day is a new beginning
I'm gonna keep on keep on living
Might as well find my paradise here on the ground.
Somewhere where the ocean meets the breeze
Where we can climb some coconut trees
Where golden sand’s a bed for you and me
The setting sun’s the only light we’ll need
So I'll keep finding islands to lay around
I'll keep finding shores where we can sing out loud
Every day is a new beginning
I'm gonna keep on keep on living
Might as well find my paradise here on the ground
On islands laying around
I'll keep finding shores where we can sing out loud
Every day is a new beginning
I'm gonna keep on keep on living
Might as well find my paradise here on the ground.

Flashing lights lead to the city of sin
Beautiful people saying come on in
Girl could get lost in this playground
With so much to taste around
Feeling the world is yours to take
Here they only play with high stakes
It’s all or nothing, baby
Vegas, be good to me
And oh, did it ever
Got more than I came for
When I saw those eyes look at mine
I felt the urge to win
Didn’t even know your name
But I knew I had to play
Buy me in
I’m gamblin’ everything I’ve got
Remember Vegas
Remember the way
We said our first hellos as you held my waist
“What you drinking tonight?”
You said, “I’ll buy,”
So I took the bait
And I couldn’t stop thinking
How good you looked
With your shirt off, babe
They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas
But baby,
I took Vegas home with me
One drink turned into 3, to 4, maybe more
Don’t know cuz I wasn’t keeping score
The only thing on my mind
Were your deep, brown eyes
Don’t remember the music, or when we first kissed
But I remember your lips and your hand on my hips
My mind was getting hazy,
but something in me lit ablaze
Didn’t even know your name
But I knew I had to play
Buy me in
I’m gamblin’ everything I’ve got
Remember Vegas
Remember the way
We said our first hellos as you held my waist
“What you drinking tonight?”
You said, “I’ll buy,”
So I took the bait
And I couldn’t stop thinking
How good you looked
With your shirt off, babe
They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas
But baby,
I took Vegas home with me
Oh, don’t get the wrong idea about me, baby
I’m a good girl, but Vegas makes me crazy
And I’m just looking for a good time tonight
But it’s funny how love comes
At unexpected times
So I remember Vegas
Remember the way
We said our first hellos as you held my waist
“What you drinking tonight?”
You said, “I’ll buy,”
So I took the bait
And I couldn’t stop thinking
How good you looked
With your shirt off, babe
They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas
But baby,
I took Vegas home, I took Vegas home, yeah
I took Vegas home with me

Yesterday
I saw the sun rising over my head
Thought of the day
We tried to watch but ended up back in bed
And those colors
Mean nothing without you here
Shades of grey
Is how my world looks when you disappear
Cuz I can’t see clearly
When you’re not here near me
And I can’t feel nothing
If I ain’t got your lovin’
I can’t sing another song
Without you it sounds so wrong
I can’t watch another movie
If you’re not here to hold me
I can’t taste the champagne
Without you it’s all so plain
Somebody help me end this
Without you my life is senseless
Let it rain
Cuz the cold helps me numb my skin
To hide the pain
Of this world that you’re not in
Cuz I can’t see clearly
When you’re not here near me
And I can’t feel nothing
If I ain’t got your lovin’
I can’t sing another song
Without you it sounds so wrong
I can’t watch another movie
If you’re not here to hold me
I can’t taste the champagne
Without you it’s all so plain
Somebody help me end this
Without you my life is senseless
All the flavors in this universe
Couldn’t fix my senses and break this curse
They only make me see
How much I need you here with me
I can’t sing another song
Without you it sounds so wrong
I can’t watch another movie
If you’re not here to hold me
I can’t taste the champagne
Without you it’s all so plain
Somebody help me end this
Without you my life is senseless

I Know I Shouldn't

You said come on over
To your place
It’s a damn good night
To do what feels right
I said I would if I could
But it’s getting late
It’s about that time
I’ve got to turn out the light
You said, “I’ve got a couch,
You could make yourself at home,
And if you don’t mind
You know my bed’s pretty warm.”
I know I shouldn’t, but I wish I could
Let my body do what it would
A girl like me should be keeping it classy
But you got me feelin’ a little bit sassy
I know I shouldn’t, but it’d be so good
If I came down to your hood
We’d be making mood music til the break of dawn
If it feels so good, how could it be wrong?
Some girls put their hearts out
For men to take
Well that ain’t me
Cuz I learn from my mistakes
Once bitten twice shy,
So the saying goes
And there’ve been a lot of dogs
Who bit and brought me down low.
But a girl can hope
And a girl can dream
That someday my prince charming
Will come sweep me off my feet
I know I shouldn’t, but I wish I could
Let my body do what it would
A girl like me should be keeping it classy
But you got me feelin’ a little bit sassy
I know I shouldn’t, but it’d be so good
If I came down to your hood
We’d be making mood music til the break of dawn
If it feels so good, how could it be wrong?
I said I wouldn’t, but then again maybe I might
I’m curious to see if your bark’s worse than your bite
I know I shouldn’t, but I wish I could
Let my body do what it would
A girl like me should be keeping it classy
But you got me feelin’ just a little bit sassy
I know I shouldn’t, but it’d be so good
If I came down to your hood
We’d be making mood music til the break of dawn
If it feels so good, how could it be wrong?

Lately I've been thinking
Can't get you out of my mind
And baby it's amazing
Cuz one moment I was fine
Then like a robber in the night
You came without a sound
I don't know how you did it, baby
But you struck me down
And I'm smitten by your love
Weak as a lamb, so here I am
Admitting you're my drug, baby
It's much too late, I've crossed the gate
Crazy to think we started
As good old-fashioned friends
But sparks turned into fire
Hopes these flames don't ever end
Cuz you remind me where I've been
And who I'm trying to be
You may not know this, darling
But you inspire me
Got me smitten by your love
Weak as a lamb, so here I am
Admitting you're my drug, baby
It's much too late, I've crossed the gate
You went away for a moment
And that's when I knew I had fallen
Cuz the heart tells the truth
It keeps telling me run to you
Smitten by your love, baby
Weak as a lamb, so here I am
Admitting you're my drug, baby
It's much too late, I've crossed the gate
