Tyhle dvě písničky mě úplně okouzlily. Zčásti za to může Nate Ruess (zpěvák). Má skvělý styl a zvláštní hlas a je hezký. ♥

Ty písničky jsou neskutečné.

Well, I woke up to the sound of silence
The cars outside were cutting like knives in a fistfight
And I found you with a bottle of wine
You head through the curtains and heart like Fourth of July

You swore and said : „We are not, we are not shining stars…“
This I know, I never said we are
Though I´ve never been through hell like that
I´ve closed enough windows to know you can never look back

If you´re lost and alone
Or you´re sinkink like a stone
Carry o-o-o-o-on

May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry o-o-o-o-on

Carry on, Carry on!

So, I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
At a bar off 75
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
All our neighbors and wives

But I´d like to think I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I´ve been cheated on
And it´s nice to know …
When I was left for dead …
I was found and now I don´t haunt these streets
I am not the ghost that you are to me

If you´re lost and alone
Or you´re sinkink like a stone
Carry o-o-o-o-on

May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry o-o-o-o-on

Ohh, my head is on fire
But my legs are fine
After all, they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door, hold the phone
Show me how no one´s ever gonna stop us now

´Cause we are, we are shining stars…
We are invicible
We are who we are
On our darkest days
When we´re miles away
Sun will some, we will find our way home

If you´re lost and alone
Or you´re sinkink like a stone
Carry o-o-o-o-on

May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry o-o-o-o-on

Ohh, ohh ….

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck,
some nights, I call it a draw.
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle.
Some nights, I wish they’d just fall off.

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost.
Oh Lord, I’m still not sure what I stand for.
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don’t know anymore…

This is it, boys, this is war – what are we waiting for?
Why don’t we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype – save that for the black and white.
I try twice as hard and I’m half as liked, but here they come again to jack
my style.

And that’s alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am.
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I?

Well. Some nights, I wish that this all would end
cause I could use some friends for a change.
And some nights, I’m scared you’ll forget me again
Some nights, I always win.

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost.
Oh Lord, I’m still not sure what I stand for.
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don’t know…

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?

No. When I see stars, when I see.. when I see stars, that’s all they are.
And when I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on.
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!

That is it, guys, that is all – five minutes in and I’m bored again.
Ten years of this, I’m not sure if anybody understands.
This is not one for the folks back home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go.
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called „love“.
But when I look into my nephew’s eyes…
Man, you wouldn’t believe the most amazing things that can come from…
Some terrible lies..

The other night, you wouldn’t believe the dream I just had about you and me.
I called you up, but we’d both agree.
It’s for the best you didn’t listen.
It’s for the best we get our distance…
It’s for the best we get our distance…
