Atlantis (Song + Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
I don’t think that we should sink this
Me and you are not Atlantis

You’re saying not to fight this
But we could be so much more
We could be so much more

[Verse 2]
I don’t think that we should stop this
We’re not meant to be … a myth
I’d rather find a way to rescue this
Too many things get lost at sea

I don’t want that to be us
And I don’t want you to leave us
I just want you to believe in us
So we don’t become history

[Verse 3]
I don’t know if we should lose this
There’s no guarantee that … we’ll resurface
Things that go under on purpose
Don’t always come up for air

I’m know all about Atlantis
But I hope we can save this
I’m not sure about Atlantis
But I think we’ll resurface

Sweetie

I tried:
Pavlova from Australia
Leivasupp from Estonia
Wuzetka from Poland
Nanaimo bars from Canada
Gulab jamun from Pakistan
Kashata from East Africa
Crema volteada from Peru
And still:

I can’t find anything sweeter than you

The Day You Came (Song + Lyrics)

[Chorus]

Happy Birthday! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
Happy Birthday! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
This is your day! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
This is your day! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)

Happy Birthday! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
Happy Birthday! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
Love you always (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
Love you always (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)

[Verse 1]

The day that you were born
The world was all in pain
But the sky opened up
When it heard your name

The day you walked my way
I felt it right away
I’d treat you like a queen
And you’d forever reign

[Verse 2]

If there’s ever a day
When you’re in too much pain
I hope these words I say
Take your frown away

You know the day you came
I threw my cares away
There’s nothing like your love
It’s like a sacred prayer

It’s like a sacred prayer…
So:

[Chorus]

Pull (Song + Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
Was in a hole when I first met you
There was no sun and there was no truth

I didn’t know that words had pull
But, uh, you made believe in something new

The way you love’s like a postcard view
And, uh, I never want to stray from you

I didn’t know your words had pull
But, uh, you lift me up to the penthouse, boo

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re nothing, you’re nothing
You’re nothing that’s bad
You’re something, you’re something
That I have to have … That I have to have

[Chorus]
You lift me up
You got you wings
You lift me up
You’re angeling

You lift me up
I hear them sing
You lift me up
I’m leveling

You life me up
You spread your wings
You lift me up
You’re angeling

You lift me up
I hear them sing
You lift me up
I’m leveling

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re nothing, you’re nothing
You’re nothing that’s sad
You’re something, you’re something
That I have to have … That I have to have

[Chorus]

No

I won’t wish you a Happy New Year
Since I wished you a Happy Birthday
                                                                And
You never replied

(Perhaps you just forgot it was your day?)

No, I won’t wish you a Happy New Year
But if the world was ending
                                               Only
You know where I’d be

Following Love (Song + Lyrics)

[Chorus]
I think I’m falling in love
I think I’m falling in love
I think I’m falling in
I think I’m falling in

I keep on following love
I keep on following love
I keep on following
I keep on following

[Verse 1]
It doesn’t matter what they tell us to do
I’m still gonna be with you
It doesn’t matter what they want us to do
I’m still gonna stay with you

It doesn’t matter what they want us to say
I’m not going anywhere
It doesn’t matter what they force us to do
I’m still gonna stand by you

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I hope they tell us what to do
Cause I’m never gonna stray from you
I hope they tell us what to say
So I can show them that I’ll always stay

[Chorus x2]
I think I’m falling in love
I think I’m falling in love
I think I’m falling in
I think I’m falling in

I keep on following love
I keep on following love
I keep on following
I keep on following … my heart

The Anatomy Of A Hug

Through an endless cycle of embrace
I will go beyond all lovers
And spin your world in reverse

Travel back to a time before myths
Reimagine the universe as the shape of our kiss

Slow

        Down

The

       Earth

Until the core and mantle flake

Whileholdingtheatmospherewithinreach

Atlas held the celestial spheres on his shoulders
Now you hold them on your hips
And spin my world in reverse

Skyline (Lyrics + Song)

[Verse 1]

I never knew that it could feel like this
And I … never knew that love could get this big
You only find this on a movie screen
I think I found it in a real-life scene

You were smarter before we met
And I … was nothing but an idiot
Cause I … didn’t know that love could grow this big
Or that … I could feel like this

[Chorus]
You’re my, sky-sky-sky-line
All the time-ime-ime-ime
And I rise-ise-ise-ise
When I’m by your side-ide-ide-ide

The stars align-ign-ign-ign
When you walk-alk-alk-alk on by
My eyes-eyes-eyes-eyes
All the time-ime-ime-ime-ime

[Verse 2]

I never knew that it could feel like this
So I … never really dreamed of this
But I …. want to hold on to this
For forever’s lifetime

I’ve been smarter since the day we met
And you … still think I’m an idiot
Cause I … see forever within our kiss
I’m doing everything to hold on to it

[Chorus]
