CAPO: 2
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm walkin' f
ast through th
e traffic ligh
ts
Busy streets and busy lives
And all we kno
w is touch and
go
We are alone
with our chang
ing minds
We fall in lov
e 'til it hurt
s or bleeds or
fades in time
[Chorus]
And I never (I
never)
Saw you comin'
And I'll never
(I'll never)
Be the same
[Verse 2]
You come arou
nd and the arm
or falls
Pierce the room like a cannonball
Now all we kno
w is don't let
go
We are alone,
just you and
me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
Just twin fire
signs, four b
lue eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
So you were n
ever a saint a
nd I loved in
shades of wron
g
We learn to l
ive with the p
ain, mosaic br
oken hearts
But this love
is brave and
wild
[Chorus]
And I never (I
never)
Saw you comin'
And I'll never
(I'll never)
Be the same
[Bridge]
This is a stat
e of grace
This is the wo
rthwhile fight
Love is a ruth
less game
Unless you pla
y it good and
right
These are the
hands of fate
You're my Achi
lles heel
This is the go
lden age of so
methin' good
And right and
real
[Chorus]
And I never (I
never)
Saw you comin'
And I'll never
Be the same, o
h-oh-oh
And I never (I
never)
Saw you comin'
And I'll never
(I'll never)
(So you were never a saint and I loved in shades of wrong)
Be the same (W
e learn to liv
e with the pai
n, mosaic brok
en hearts)
(But this love is brave and wild)
[Outro]
This is a stat
e of grace
This is the wo
rthwhile fight
Love is a ruth
less game
Unless you pla
y it good and
right

CAPO: 2
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Loving him is
like driving a
new Maserati
down a dead-en
d street
Faster than th
e wind, passio
nate as sin, e
nding so sudde
nly
Loving him is
like trying to
change your m
ind once you'r
e already flyi
ng through the
free fall
Like the color
s in autumn, s
o bright just
before they lo
se it all
[Chorus]
Losing him was
blue like I'd
never known
Missing him wa
s dark gray, a
ll alone (Woah
)
Forgetting him
was like tryi
n' to know som
ebody you neve
r met
But loving him
was red (Red,
red)
(Red, red)
But loving him
was red (Red,
red)
(Red, red)
[Verse 2]
Touching him w
as like realiz
ing all you ev
er wanted was
right there in
front of you
Memorizing him
was as easy a
s knowing all
the words to y
our old favori
te song
Fighting with
him was like t
rying to solve
a crossword a
nd realizing t
here's no righ
t answer
Regretting him
was like wish
ing you never
found out that
love could be
that strong
[Chorus]
Losing him was
blue like I'd
never known
Missing him wa
s dark gray, a
ll alone (Woah
)
Forgetting him
was like tryi
n' to know som
ebody you neve
r met
But loving him
was red (Red,
red)
Oh, red (Red,
red)
Burning red (R
ed, red)
(Red, red)
[Bridge]
Remembering hi
m comes in fla
shbacks and ec
hoes
Tell myself it
's time now, g
otta let go
But moving on
from him is im
possible when
I still see it
all in my hea
d
In burning red
Burning, it wa
s red
[Chorus]
Oh, losing him
was blue like
I'd never kno
wn
Missing him wa
s dark gray, a
ll alone (Woah
)
Forgetting him
was like tryi
n' to know som
ebody you neve
r met
'Cause loving
him was red (R
ed, red)
Yeah, yeah, re
d (Red, red)
Oh, burning re
d (Red, red)
(Red, red)
[Post-Chorus]
And that's why
he's spinning
'round in my
head (Red, red
)
Comes back to
me, burning re
d (Red, red)
(Red, red)
Yeah, yeah (Re
d, red)
[Outro]
His love was l
ike driving a
new Maserati d
own a dead-end
street

[Verse 1]
I walked throu

'bout it felt
like home some
how
And I left my
scarf there at
your sister's
house
And you've sti
ll got it in y
our drawer, ev
en now
[Verse 2]
Oh, your sweet
disposition a
nd my wide-eye
d gaze
We're singing
in the car, ge
tting lost ups

Autumn leaves
falling down l
ike pieces int

And I can pict
ure it after a
ll these days
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it'
s long gone an
d
That magic's n
ot here no mor

And I might be
okay, but I'm
not fine at a

Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
'Causе there w
e arе again on
that little t
own street
You almost ran
the red 'caus
e you were loo
kin' over at m
e
Wind in my hai
r, I was there
I remember it
all too well
[Verse 3]
Photo album on
the counter,
your cheeks we
re turning red
You used to be
a little kid
with glasses i
n a twin-sized
bed
And your mothe
r's telling st
ories 'bout yo
u on the tee-b
all team
You taught me
'bout your pas
t, thinking yo
ur future was
me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it'
s long gone an
d
There was noth
ing else I cou
ld do
And I forget a
bout you long
enough
To forget why
I needed to
[Chorus]
'Cause there w

the middle of
the night
We're dancing
'round the kit
chen in the re
frigerator lig
ht
Down the stair
s, I was there
I remember it
all too well,
yeah
[Bridge]
And maybe we g
ot lost in tra
nslation
Maybe I asked
for too much
But maybe this
thing was a m
asterpiece
'Til you tore
it all up
Running scared
, I was there
I remember it
all too well
And you call m
e up again
Just to break
me like a prom
ise
So casually cr
uel in the nam
e of being hon
est
I'm a crumpled
up piece of p
aper lying her

'Cause I remem
ber it all, al

Too well
[Verse 4]
Time won't fly
, it's like I'
m paralyzed by
it
I'd like to be
my old self a
gain, but I'm
still trying t
o find it
After plaid sh
irt days and n
ights when you

own
Now you mail b
ack my things
and I walk hom
e alone
But you keep m
y old scarf fr
om that very f
irst week
'Cause it remi
nds you of inn
ocence and it

You can't get

'Cause you rem

[Chorus]
'Cause there w

Back before yo

You remember i

Back to a firs

Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme
Took off faste

light, go
Yeah, you skip the conversation when you already know
I left a note
on the door wi
th a joke we'd
made
And that was t

Never lookin'

And right ther

[Verse 2]
Spinnin' like
a girl in a br

We had this big, wide city all to ourselves
Wе block the n
oise with the
sound of, "I n

And for thе first time, I had something to lose
And I guess we
fell apart in
the usual way
And the story's got dust on every page
But, sometimes
, I wonder how
you think abo
ut it now
And I see your
face in every
crowd
[Chorus]
'Cause, darlin

Saw you comin'
And I'll never
Be the same

Pierce the room like a cannonball

We are alone,
just you and m

Up in your room and our slates are clean
Just twin fire
signs, four b

[Pre-Chorus]
So you were n

Wе learn to live with the pain, mosaic brokеn hearts

Pale blue sky

[Chorus]
I wish I coul
d fly
I'd pick you
up and we'd go
back in time
I'd write thi
s in the sky
I miss you li
ke it was the
very first nig
ht
[Verse 1]
And so it goe

Every weekend, this same party
I never go al

And I don't seem broken-hearted
My friends a
ll say they kn
ow
Everything I'm going through
I drive down
different road
s
But they all lead back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause they d
on't know abou
t the night in
the hotel
They weren't
ridin' in the
car when we bo
th fell
Didn't read
the note on th
e Polaroid pic
ture
They don't kn
ow how much I
miss you
[Chorus]
I wish I coul
d fly
I'd pick you
up and we'd go
back in time
I'd write thi
s in the sky
I miss you li
ke it was the
very first nig
ht
[Verse 2]
And so it was
We never saw it comin'
Not trying to
fall in love
But we did like children runnin'
Back then, we
didn't know
We were built to fall apart
We broke the
status quo
Then we broke each other's hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
But don't fo
rget about the
night out in
L.A
Dance in the
kitchen, chase
me down throu
gh the hallway
No one knows
about the wor
ds that we whi
spered
No one knows
how much I mis
s you
[Chorus]
I wish I coul
d fly
I'd pick you
up and we'd go
back in time
I'd write thi
s in the sky
I miss you li
ke it was the
very first nig
ht
[Post-Chorus]
Take me away,
take me away
Take me away
to you, to you
Take me away,
take me away
Take me away
to you, to you
[Bridge]
I remember the
night at the
hotel
I was ridin'
in the car whe
n we both fell
I'm the one
on the phone a
s you whisper
"Do you know h
ow much I miss
you?"
[Breakdown]
I wish that w
e could go bac
k in time
And I'd say t
o you
"I miss you li
ke it was the
very first nig
ht"
[Chorus]
I wish I coul
d fly
I'd pick you
up and we'd go
back in time
I'd write thi
s in the sky
I miss you li
ke it was the
very first nig
ht
[Post-Chorus]
Take me away
(Take me), tak

Take me away

Take me away (
Take me), take

NO CAPO
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I walked throu
gh the door wi
th you, the ai
r was cold
But somethin'
'bout it felt
like home some
how
And I left my
scarf there at
your sister's
house
And you've sti
ll got it in y
our drawer, ev
en now
[Verse 2]
Oh, your sweet
disposition a
nd my wide-eye
d gaze
We're singin'
in the car, ge
tting lost ups
tate
Autumn leaves
fallin' down l
ike pieces int
o place
And I can pict
ure it after a
ll these days
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it'
s long gone an
d
That magic's n
ot here no mor
e
And I might be
okay, but I'm
not fine at a
ll
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
'Causе there w
e arе again on
that little t
own street
You almost ran
the red 'caus
e you were loo
kin' over at m
e
Wind in my hai
r, I was there
I remember it
all too well
[Verse 3]
Photo album on
the counter,
your cheeks we
re turnin' red
You used to be
a little kid
with glasses i
n a twin-sized
bed
And your mothe
r's tellin' st
ories 'bout yo
u on the tee-b
all team
You taught me
'bout your pas
t, thinkin' yo
ur future was
me
And you were t
ossing me the
car keys, "Fuc
k the patriarc
hy"
Keychain on th
e ground, we w
ere always ski
ppin' town
And I was thin
kin' on the dr
ive down, "Any
time now
He's gonna say
it's love," y
ou never calle
d it what it w
as
'Til we were d
ead and gone a
nd buried
Check the puls
e and come bac
k swearin' it'
s the same
After three mo
nths in the gr
ave
And then you w
ondered where
it went to as
I reached for
you
But all I felt
was shame and
you held my l
ifeless frame
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it'
s long gone an
d
There was noth
ing else I cou
ld do
And I forget a
bout you long
enough
To forget why
I needed to
[Chorus]
'Cause there w
e are again in
the middle of
the night
We're dancin'
'round the kit
chen in the re
frigerator lig
ht
Down the stair
s, I was there
I remember it
all too well
And there we a
re again when
nobody had to
know
You kept me li
ke a secret, b
ut I kept you
like an oath
Sacred prayer
and we'd swear
To remember it
all too well,
yeah
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Well, maybe we
got lost in t
ranslation, ma
ybe I asked fo
r too much
But maybe this
thing was a m
asterpiece 'ti
l you tore it
all up
Runnin' scared
, I was there
I remember it
all too well
And you call m
e up again jus
t to break me
like a promise
So casually cr
uel in the nam
e of bein' hon
est
I'm a crumpled
-up piece of p
aper lyin' her
e
'Cause I remem
ber it all, al
l, all
[Verse 4]
They say all's
well that end
s well, but I'
m in a new hel
l
Every time you
double-cross
my mind
You said if we
had been clos
er in age, may
be it would've
been fine
And that made
me want to die
The idea you h
ad of me, who
was she?
A never-needy,
ever-lovely j
ewel whose shi
ne reflects on
you
Not weepin' in
a party bathr
oom
Some actress a
skin' me what
happened, you
That's what ha
ppened, you
You who charme
d my dad with
self-effacing
jokes
Sippin' coffee
like you're o
n a late-night
show
But then he wa
tched me watch
the front doo
r all night, w
illin' you to
come
And he said, "
It's supposed
to be fun turn
ing twenty-one
"
[Verse 5]
Time won't fly
, it's like I'
m paralyzed by
it
I'd like to be
my old self a
gain, but I'm
still tryin' t
o find it
After plaid sh
irt days and n
ights when you
made me your
own
Now you mail b
ack my things
and I walk hom
e alone
But you keep m
y old scarf fr
om that very f
irst week
'Cause it remi
nds you of inn
ocence and it
smells like me
You can't get
rid of it
'Cause you rem
ember it all t
oo well, yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause there w
e are again wh
en I loved you
so
Back before yo
u lost the one
real thing yo
u've ever know
n
It was rare, I
was there
I remember it
all too well
Wind in my hai
r, you were th
ere
You remember i
t all
Down the stair
s, you were th
ere
You remember i
t all
It was rare, I
was there
I remember it
all too well
[Verse 6]
And I was neve
r good at tell
in' jokes, but
the punch lin
e goes
"I'll get olde
r, but your lo
vers stay my a
ge"
From when your
Brooklyn brok
e my skin and
bones
I'm a soldier
who's returnin
g half her wei
ght
And did the tw
in flame bruis
e paint you bl
ue?
Just between u
s, did the lov
e affair maim
you too?
'Cause in this
city's barren
cold
I still rememb
er the first f
all of snow
And how it gli
stened as it f
ell
I remember it
all too well
[Outro]
Just between u
s, did the lov
e affair maim
you all too we

Just between u
s, do you reme
mber it all to

Just between u
s, I remember
it (Just betwe

well
Wind in my hai

Down the stai

Sacred prayer

It was rare,
