Starlight

I said oh my, what marvelous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
And we were dancing dancing
Like we're made of starlight
Like we're made of starlight

I met Bobby on the boardwalk, summer of '45
Picked me up late one night at the window,
He was 17 and crazy, running wild, wild
Can't remember what song he was playing when we walked in
The night we snuck into a yacht club party
Pretending to be a duchess and a prince

I said oh my, what marvelous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
And we were dancing dancing
Like we're made of starlight
Like we're made of starlight

He said "look at you, worrying so much about things you can't change
You'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking away "
He was trying to skip rocks on the ocean, saying to me
"Don't you see the starlight starlight?
Don't you dream impossible things?"

Like oh my, what marvelous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
And we were dancing dancing
Like we're made of starlight
Like we're made of starlight

Ooh ooh he's talking in crazy
Ooh ooh dancing with me
Ooh ooh we could get married
Have ten kids and teach them how to dream

I said oh my, what marvelous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines,
And we were dancing dancing
Like we're made of starlight
Like we're made of starlight

Like we dream impossible dreams
Don't you see the starlight?
Don't you dream impossible things?

It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes, ah ah. ah ah.
It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers, ah ah. ah ah.

Yeeeah,
We're happy free confused and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines
It's time

Oh oh!
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if
You keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright if
We just keep dancing like we're
22

It seems like one of those nights,
This place is too crowded.
Too many cool kids. ah ah. ah ah.
(who's Taylor Swift anyway? ugh)
It seems like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming
Instead of sleeping.

Yeeeah,
We're happy free confused and lonely in the best way
It's miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks
It's time

Oh oh!
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if
You keep me next to you

It feels like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights,
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights,
You look like bad news
I gotta have you
I gotta have you

I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if
You keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright if
We just keep dancing like we're

I gotta have you

Treacherous

Put your lips close to mine  
As long as they don't touch  
Out of focus, eye to eye  
Till the gravity's too much  
And I'll do anything you say  
If you say it with your hands  
And I'd be smart to walk away, but you're quicksand
This slope is treacherous  
This path is reckless  
This slope is treacherous  
And I, I, I like it
I can't decide if it's a choice  
Getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice  
Asking you to stay  
And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along  
Forever going with the flow, but you're friction
This slope is treacherous  
This path is reckless  
This slope is treacherous  
And I, I, I like it
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night  
And I will get you, get you alone  
Your name has echoed through my mind  
And I just think you should, think you should know  
That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will  
Follow you, follow you home... I'll follow you, follow you home...
This hope is treacherous  
This daydream is dangerous  
This hope is treacherous I, I, I... I, I, I... I, I, I...
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night  
And I will get you, get you alone 
Your name has echoed through my mind  
And I just think you should, think you should know  
That nothing safe is worth the drive and I will  
Follow you, follow you home...  
I'll follow you, follow you home... 
I'll follow you, follow you home... 
I'll follow you, follow you home...
This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it

State Of Grace

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights  
Busy streets and busy lives  
And all we know is touch and go  
We are alone with our changing minds  
We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time
And I never saw you coming  
And I’ll never be the same  
You come around and the armor falls  
Pierce the room like a cannon ball  
Now all we know, 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 blue eyes
So you were never a saint. 
And I've love the shades of wrong  
We learn to live with the pain.  
Mosaic broken hearts  
But this love is brave and wild.
And I never saw you coming  
And I’ll never be the same
This is a state of grace  
This is the worth while fight  
Love is a ruthless game 
Unless you play it good and right  
These are the hands of fate  
You’re my Achilles heel 
This is the golden age of something good  
And right and real
And I never saw you coming  
And I’ll never be the same
And I never saw you coming  
And I’ll never be the same
This is a state of grace  
This is a worth while fight Love is a ruthless game  
Unless you play it good and right

Red

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly 
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you’re already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue, like I’ve never known 
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met 
But loving him was red
 Loving him was red
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in ront of you 
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song 
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there’s no right answer 
Regretting him was like wishing you’d never found out that love could be that strong
Losing him was blue, like I’ve never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red 
Loving him was red
Oh, red 
Burning red
Remembering him comes in flashbacks, in echoes 
Tell myself it’s time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible when I still see it all in my head 
Burning red
Loving him was red
Oh, losing him was blue, like I’ve never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met‘Cause loving him was red 
Yeah, yeah red 
Burning red
And that’s why he’s spinning round in my head 
Comes back to me, burning red 
Yeah, yeah 
His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
