Packed my bags heading out tonight
City sights yeah they feel so bright
Got a feeling it's time to run
Leaving the past I'm ready for fun

Every step feels like a brand new start
Finding freedom that's where I'll find my heart

Hey I'm alive feel the rhythm rise
Dancing through the streets watch the good times fly
Letting go of what held me back
Now I'm on my way never looking back

Met some faces shared a laugh or two
Every moment feels like something new
With the music I can finally breathe
This is my time got so much to achieve

And when the night falls I won’t be alone
With the stars shining I've found my home

[Final Chorus]
Hey I'm alive feel the rhythm rise
Dancing through the streets watch the good times fly
Letting go of what held me back
Now I'm on my way never looking back

Yeah
Almost beautiful

You left your shadow
On the passenger side
Like a quiet ending
At a red street light

I kept the moment
But I lost the weight
Of waiting for something
That was already late

Now days feel lighter
When the hope runs out
I hear my own voice
A little less loud

And I don’t hate you
That takes too much room
I just stopped turning
The sky into you

Maybe we were young
Maybe we were tired
Maybe love got lost
Somewhere in the wires

I don’t need a reason
I don’t need a sign
I just need tonight
To feel like mine

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful

I saw your name
On a screen last night
It didn’t hurt me
Like I thought it might

Just a small old feeling
Passing through
Like a song from a car
That never stops for you

I walked for hours
Under changing signs
No big confession
No perfect line

Just a quiet freedom
I never planned
Like letting go
Without using my hands

Maybe we were close
Maybe we were blind
Maybe love looks better
From the other side

I don’t need an answer
I don’t need a fight
I just need my heart
To sleep tonight

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

I won’t call it wasted
I won’t call it wrong
Some people are chapters
That read too long

I won’t make you guilty
I won’t make me small
We were almost something
And that’s something after all

Almost beautiful
Almost true
Almost everything
I wanted with you

Almost beautiful
Almost gone
I can still remember
But I can move on

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful

Mm
Almost beautiful
Losing you

I kept every receipt like proof
Bought more space then filled each room
Wore my plans like heavy clothes
Carried things I never chose
One by one I let them go
Found out what I need to know
A steady hand a faithful friend
A little time I do not spend

Nothing missing nothing owed
I can feel my shoulders let go

I am better with less
Better with air on my chest
Better with one true yes
Than a hundred maybes I regret
I was counting every prize
While the good passed by my eyes
Now I know what matters best
I am better better with less

I gave away that tailored coat
Kept one song my father wrote
Took old numbers from my phone
Made this smaller place my own
No gold frame can hold a day
No new car can make love stay
I choose people I choose time
I choose a life that still feels mine

Nothing missing nothing owed
I can feel my shoulders let go

I am better with less
Better with air on my chest
Better with one true yes
Than a hundred maybes I regret
I was counting every prize
While the good passed by my eyes
Now I know what matters best
I am better better with less

Keep the rush keep the race
I found freedom with some space
Every burden I release
Leaves more room for what I need

I am better with less
Better with air on my chest
Better with one true yes
Than a hundred maybes I regret
I was counting every prize
While the good passed by my eyes
Now I know what matters best
I am better better with less

Tank half full windows down
Dust in the back road leaving town
Big sky pulling on my sleeve
Got a map got a song got you with me

Mile by mile we shake it loose
Yellow line running under our shoes
Heart to heart let the world go by
We’re making a home out of open sky

Happy road happy road
Keep on rolling let it go
Happy road happy road
We were born to drive it slow
(oh-oh) Happy road
(oh-oh) Happy road

Gas station coffee paper cups
Laughing so hard that we can’t stop
Sticky hands on the steering wheel
Every little turn feels real feels real

Mile by mile we shake it loose
Yellow line running under our shoes
Heart to heart let the world go by
We’re making a home out of open sky

Happy road happy road
Keep on rolling let it go
Happy road happy road
We were born to drive it slow
(oh-oh) Happy road
(oh-oh) Happy road

If the rain comes down we’ll dance through it
If the map folds up we’ll laugh and miss
Nothing behind us nothing to prove
Just this road and me and you

Happy road happy road
Keep on rolling let it go
Happy road happy road
We were born to drive it slow
Happy road happy road
Every mile is ours to hold
(oh-oh) Happy road
(oh-oh) Happy road

Yeah
Mono De Oro
No me mires así
You know what you do

Llegaste tarde
With that smile
Como si nada
But you changed the vibe

Yo estaba tranquilo
Mind on my plans
Then you said my name
With your drink in hand

No busco problemas
But you look like one
De esos bonitos
Que no say sorry

Te acercas lento
I lose my line
No me preguntes
If I’m fine

Una noche
No promise
Dos miradas
Too honest

Si te vas
I won’t call
Si te quedas
I might fall

No me mires así
Que me haces pensar
Que tal vez esta noche
No va a terminar

No me mires así
I’m trying to behave
Pero tú tienes algo
I can’t explain

No no no
Don’t move away
No no no
Quédate

No me mires así
Que me haces pensar
Que tal vez esta noche
No va a terminar

Tú tienes ritmo
Sin intentar
I got excuses
To stay where you are

Dicen cuidado
Yo digo maybe
Con esa cara
You drive me crazy

No quiero drama
No quiero stress
Solo tu risa
Close to my chest

Si esto es pecado
Make it polite
We keep it clean
But we don’t waste time

Una noche
No promise
Dos miradas
Too honest

Si te vas
I won’t call
Si te quedas
I might fall

No me mires así
Que me haces pensar
Que tal vez esta noche
No va a terminar

No me mires así
I’m trying to behave
Pero tú tienes algo
I can’t explain

No no no
Don’t move away
No no no
Quédate

No me mires así
Que me haces pensar
Que tal vez esta noche
No va a terminar

No te prometo
Toda mi vida
Pero esta noche
Se ve distinta

You don’t need words
I don’t need plans
Solo tu mano
Cerca de my hand

Si esto se acaba
Lo acepto bien
Pero por ahora
Ven ven ven

No me mires así
Que me haces pensar
Que tal vez esta noche
No va a terminar

No me mires así
I’m trying to behave
Pero tú tienes algo
I can’t explain

No no no
Don’t move away
No no no
Quédate

No me mires así
Que me haces pensar
Que tal vez esta noche
No va a terminar

No me mires así
You know what you do
Quédate
Just me and you

You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense

There’s a man at the station
With a paper and a grin
Says the world keeps turning
But nobody clocks in

You had plans on a napkin
Now they’re folded in your coat
You keep laughing at the timing
Like it’s some private joke

There’s a queue at the bakery
There’s a dog outside the bank
There’s a song from a taxi
That you almost want to thank

You don’t need a big answer
You don’t need a grand escape
You just need one decent Tuesday
And a bit less on your plate

So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last

Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand

You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Your cousin had a theory
About getting out clean
Then he bought a small van
And a coffee machine

Now he parks by the market
With his radio low
Says the secret is simple
Never let Monday know

You remember old trouble
With a smile on its face
How it sat beside your future
And took up all the space

But you made a little progress
On a very plain day
Paid one bill sent one message
Threw one bad thought away

So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last

Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand

You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

No parade no headline
No speech to rehearse
Just a small kind of fortune
When it could have been worse

You can carry your worries
But loosen the strap
Life may not fix you
But it cuts you some slack

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand

You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense

Tu nombre vibra en mi celular
No contesto por orgullo
Pero vuelvo a mirar igual
Yeah yeah

Tu nombre vibra en mi celular
No contesto por orgullo
Pero vuelvo a mirar igual
Como si fuera normal

Me dejaste con media frase
Y una duda sobre la piel
Yo pensé que era pasajero
Pero sigo puesto de pie

Tú caminas por otra calle
Yo me quedo sin reclamar
No me sobra tanta paciencia
Pero aprendo a respirar

Si preguntas sigo entero
Si me buscas tardo más
No te cierro toda la puerta
Pero no voy hacia atrás

Tú decías “todo sencillo”
Yo lo quise complicar
Ahora entiendo lo que cuesta
Cuando alguien no sabe cuidar

Dame una señal no más
Si te vas me quedo fatal
I don’t wanna call you back
Pero vuelvo a dudar

Dame una señal no más
No me vendas otro plan
Si me miras como antes
Voy a querer intentar

Reloj de arena cae lento
Cada grano sabe mal
I don’t wanna call you back
Pero vuelvo a dudar

Mis amigos dicen “sal de eso”
Yo respondo “ya casi estoy”
Pero cuando cambia tu foto
Se me mueve algo interior

No presumo de ser tan fuerte
Solo finjo con precisión
Tengo orgullo bien educado
Y una mala conexión

Tú no fuiste toda mi vida
Pero sí mi mejor error
De los que uno cuenta riendo
Cuando ya no duele peor

Si preguntas sigo entero
Si me buscas tardo más
No te cierro toda la puerta
Pero no voy hacia atrás

Tú decías “todo sencillo”
Yo lo quise complicar
Ahora entiendo lo que cuesta
Cuando alguien no sabe cuidar

Dame una señal no más
Si te vas me quedo fatal
I don’t wanna call you back
Pero vuelvo a dudar

Dame una señal no más
No me vendas otro plan
Si me miras como antes
Voy a querer intentar

Reloj de arena cae lento
Cada grano sabe mal
I don’t wanna call you back
Pero vuelvo a dudar

No soy santo no soy frío
No soy fácil de olvidar
Tú tampoco eres culpable
Solo sabes regresar

Si mañana ya no escribes
Voy a poder continuar
Pero si dices mi nombre
Todo vuelve a comenzar

Dame una señal no más
Si te vas me quedo fatal
I don’t wanna call you back
Pero vuelvo a dudar

Dame una señal no más
No me vendas otro plan
Si me miras como antes
Voy a querer intentar

Reloj de arena cae lento
Cada grano sabe mal
I don’t wanna call you back
Pero vuelvo a dudar

Dame una señal no más
No me vendas otro plan
Si me miras como antes
Voy a querer intentar

Tu nombre vibra en mi celular
No contesto por orgullo
Pero vuelvo a mirar igual
Reloj de arena cae lento

Left Arizona on a Sunday night
With a half-full tank and a dashboard light
The map was folded the plan was gone
Still I kept the engine on

You called somewhere near the state line sign
Said you heard another song of mine
Funny how a voice can cross the miles
And make a stranger road worthwhile

Every mile gets smaller in the rearview glass
Every promise asks how long it'll last

California burns at dawn
Golden hills turning on
I still hear your voice rolling through
Every station I tune to

California burns at dawn
Night is leaving one by one
I keep driving with the radio on
California burns at dawn

Motel curtains and vending lights
Another town for another night
The coffee tasted like yesterday
But your memory wouldn't fade

Maybe someday the wheels slow down
Maybe someday I settle in one town
Until then you're the song I keep
Between the white lines and my sleep

California burns at dawn
Golden hills turning on
I still hear your voice rolling through
Every station I tune to

California burns at dawn
Night is leaving one by one
I keep driving with the radio on
California burns at dawn

She walks in slow
But the room moves first
No crown no show
Still they know her worth

She don’t ask for permission
She don’t wait by the door
Got a heart made of rhythm
And a name they can’t ignore

Red lips calm eyes
Turning silence into gold
She’s been through the fire
Now she wears it like a coat

You can’t dim her down
She’s already light
She don’t chase the crowd
She owns the night

She owns the night
Moves like the bassline
Cool under pressure
Danger in the waistline

She owns the night
No need to prove it
One look one step
Everybody feels the music

She don’t need love to feel alive
She don’t need stars to make her shine
She owns the night
She owns the night

Oh-oh she owns it
Oh-oh she knows it
Oh-oh she owns it
She owns the night

No tears on the dance floor
She left them in the rain
Put her pain in a black dress
Turned it into champagne

They said “Stay smaller”
She said “Watch me rise”
Now the mirror gets jealous
When she looks inside

You can’t dim her down
She’s already light
She don’t chase the crowd
She owns the night

She owns the night
Moves like the bassline
Cool under pressure
Danger in the waistline

She owns the night
No need to prove it
One look one step
Everybody feels the music

She don’t need love to feel alive
She don’t need stars to make her shine
She owns the night
She owns the night

Every heartbreak made her louder
Every goodbye gave her power
Now she dances on the hour
Like the world is hers to devour

No more waiting
No more hiding
She’s the thunder
She’s the lightning

She owns the night
Moves like the bassline
Cool under pressure
Danger in the waistline

She owns the night
No need to prove it
One look one step
Everybody feels the music

She don’t need love to feel alive
She don’t need stars to make her shine
She owns the night
She owns the night

Oh-oh she owns it
Oh-oh she knows it
Oh-oh she owns it
She owns the night

Bills on the counter
Dreams on the line
Love came with lessons
I signed every time

I used to ask for reasons
Every time plans fell apart
Now I save my questions
For the rooms inside my heart

Some people came with flowers
Some came with unpaid pain
Some gave me a lesson
And never used my name

I had a younger version
Who wanted every door
Now I need less approval
And I sleep a little more

I do not call it failure
When I learn what I can hold
Some gold comes wrapped as pressure
Some truth arrives cold

I been down to my last dollar
Still made dinner for a friend
I been tired past the limit
Still got up again

I do not need a reason
For every turn I take
I just keep my balance
When the floor starts to shake

I take what life hands me
Sweet heavy real
Some days come easy
Some days make me feel

I bend I don’t break
I give I still choose
I lose what I outgrow
I win when I move

I take what life hands me
No perfect plan
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

I learned love can be simple
And still not be enough
I learned peace has a price tag
But so does holding up

My mama said be patient
My pride said be wise
My body knew the answer
Before I opened my eyes

I made friends with my limits
I made space for my needs
I stopped calling it selfish
When I wanted to breathe

I keep a little humor
For the hardest kind of day
If joy knocks once a month
I still let it stay

I been down to my last dollar
Still made dinner for a friend
I been tired past the limit
Still got up again

I do not need a reason
For every turn I take
I just keep my balance
When the floor starts to shake

I take what life hands me
Sweet heavy real
Some days come easy
Some days make me feel

I bend I don’t break
I give I still choose
I lose what I outgrow
I win when I move

I take what life hands me
No perfect plan
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

I do not owe the past
A seat beside my plate
I can love what happened
And still close that gate

I do not rush my healing
I do not fake my pace
I can carry history
Without wearing its face

I found grace after losing
I found room after no
I found out life keeps giving
When I let some things go

I take what life hands me
Sweet heavy real
Some days come easy
Some days make me feel

I bend I don’t break
I give I still choose
I lose what I outgrow
I win when I move

I take what life hands me
No perfect plan
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

I take what life hands me
I know where I stand
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

Bills on the counter
Dreams on the line
Life came with lessons
I signed every time

Seventh Avenue 2 AM
You had your jacket on I had nowhere to be then
Yellow cabs blurring past the rain
You said my name like it was something you wanted to keep
Rooftop views and corner store wine
You made this city feel like it was only mine
But New York doesn't stop for anyone
And neither did you when you were done

I still hear the subway underground
Every time I'm trying not to think about
The way you laughed when the lights went out

New York I loved you
But I loved him more
And he left like the L train
Through a closing door
I still got the skyline

I still got the rain
But baby loving you was my
Most beautiful pain

Brooklyn bridge on a Saturday
You took my picture like you planned to stay
I framed it hung it on the wall
Took it down in November when the leaves would fall
You were Harlem jazz at midnight
I was trying to be your home
But some men love a city
More than they'll ever love you alone

I still walk the same blocks we used to share
Turn the corner half-expecting you'd be there
(yeah…)
But the city just stares
(just stares…)

New York I loved you
But I loved him more
And he left like the L train
Through a closing door
I still got the skyline
I still got the rain
But baby loving you was my
Most beautiful pain
(most beautiful…)

This city taught me everything I know
How to hold on
(hold on)

How to let go
(let go)
How to stand in the middle of a million souls
And still feel whole
(feel whole…)
New York didn't break me

He just set the scene
(mm)
And I was never really lost
I just hadn't found me
(found me…)
(ohhhh)

New York I loved you
(loved you)
And I love me now
(now)
Traded in the heartbreak
For my own vow
(yeah)

Still got the skyline
Still got the rain
(the rain…)
And baby — that pain
Made me everything
(everything…)
mmmh…

Mm
Bad good timing
That’s what you are

You walk past me
With a half smile
Like you know trouble
Got a new style

I say nothing
You say my name
Now every old rule
Feels out of frame

You got rhythm
With no big move
I got questions
I can’t prove

One small look
One sharp turn
Now my whole chest
Has to learn

I was doing fine
I was staying clear
Then you came close
And changed my year

No big drama
No grand design
Just your hand
Almost touching mine

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

You don’t promise
You don’t pretend
You just make trouble
Feel like a friend

There’s a song playing
From a passing car
You move once
And I know where we are

Not too sweet
Not too serious
Something about you
Gets dangerous

I was careful
I was composed
Now my good sense
Leaves when you’re close

I was doing fine
I was staying clear
Then you came close
And changed my year

No big drama
No grand design
Just your hand
Almost touching mine

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Maybe this is simple
Maybe this is not
Maybe I should leave
Maybe I forgot

How to keep distance
How to stay wise
How to tell my body
Not to take your side

You don’t have to save me
You don’t have to stay
Just don’t look at me
That particular way

[Final Chorus]
Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Mm
Bad good timing
That’s what you are

You filed my name under maybe
Kept one hand near delete

Your sentences came pre-approved
Every promise wore a barcode
I read the terms across your face
A firm refusal dressed as grace

You kept my number off the page
Then called it love at your own rate
I learned the cost of being near
A private charge renewed each year

Your figures never could align
You changed the units every time
You took the sum removed the source
Then called the damage normal loss

Call me your margin of error
The number you round to zero
You kept me close to the ledger
But never part of the total

Call me your margin of error
Your almost your after your spare
I won’t be filed under maybe
I won’t be useful then erased

You wore affection like a pass
Valid until somebody asked
My place was marked with pencil lead
Easy to alter hard to read

You built a room from access codes
The door unlocked when you chose
I left the key beside your name
No final speech no claim to blame

Your figures never could align
You changed the units every time
You took the sum removed the source
Then called the damage normal loss

Call me your margin of error
The number you round to zero
You kept me close to the ledger
But never part of the total

Call me your margin of error
Your almost your after your spare
I won’t be filed under maybe
I won’t be useful then erased

I was never hard to measure
You preferred uncertain scales
A person turned to useful data
A pulse reduced to monthly sales

Now every digit has an owner
Every loss can state its cause
You can keep your perfect record
I have left your private laws

Call me your margin of error
The number you rounded to zero
You kept me close to the ledger
But never part of the total

Call me your margin of error
The flaw that refused to behave
Cross out the file marked as maybe
I won’t be useful then erased

Delete my name from your system
The error has learned its own weight

Got my feet up sun on my face
Life is a ride let’s pick up the pace
With a strum of the guitar the world feels right
Let’s dance on the clouds from morning till night

LAUGHING LOUD we chase the sun
Rolling on waves oh we’re gonna have fun!
With a trombone blast we’re breaking the rules
Together we shine just a couple of fools!

Running through fields with laughter in tow
A violin sings as we steal the show
Time is a game we play it so bright
With every note played we’re taking flight

LAUGHING LOUD we chase the sun
Rolling on waves oh we’re gonna have fun!
With a trombone blast we’re breaking the rules
Together we shine just a couple of fools!

LAUGHING LOUD we chase the sun
Rolling on waves oh we’re gonna have fun!
With a trombone blast we’re breaking the rules
Together we shine just a couple of fools!

Yeah

Summer starts right here

Ay
Turn it up turn it up
We outside tonight

Calor de junio
You already know

You came through with the sun on your shoulder
New dress old smile little bit closer
City too hot but you make it colder
When you move like that I lose control yeah

Got your friends in the backseat singing
Windows down whole boulevard listening
No plans just a night worth living
One look and the whole thing switching

Don’t say forever
Just say tonight
Meet me where the music
Touches the sky

I got that feeling
You got that fire
One more step and we’re dancing
Past desire

Calor de junio
Body like a radio
Turn me up don’t let me go
Baila baila slow

Calor de junio
Sunset on your stereo
One kiss and we lose control
Baila baila oh

Ay ay ay
Don’t cool me down
Ay ay ay
Summer starts now

Gold chain white tee you know the story
But you don’t move like the boys before me
You talk sweet but your eyes say more things
I might stay if the night keeps calling

No drama no pressure no questions
Just rhythm bare feet good intentions
If this is trouble I like the direction
You and me look good in reflection

Don’t say forever
Just say tonight
Meet me where the music
Touches the sky

You got that feeling
I got that fire
One more step and we’re dancing
Past desire

Calor de junio
Body like a radio
Turn me up don’t let me go
Baila baila slow

Calor de junio
Sunset on your stereo
One kiss and we lose control
Baila baila oh

Ay ay ay
Don’t cool me down
Ay ay ay
Summer starts now

She don’t need a ticket she’s the destination
He don’t need a reason just imagination
Palm trees moving like they know our names
If we disappear don’t put out the flame

Not tomorrow
Not too late

Right now right here
Let the summer wait

not FM
Filodyo
Zuri tell ’em

Ay ay ay
Move it like the heat is talking
Ay ay ay

Summer starts now

Small parts
Small parts
Of a life

I keep them
I lose them
I try

A room
A chair
A photograph there

A train
A face
A wrong suitcase

You said
Be careful
I said
Of what?

The door was open
The clock had stopped

I remember the street
But I don’t remember the name
I remember your coat
But I don’t remember the rain

Little things
Little signs
Little cuts
In the time

I was almost someone
I was almost fine

La-la-life
In small little pieces
La-la-life
It comes and it leaves us

Round and round
I go where the feeling goes
Up and down
Nobody really knows

La-la-life
In small little pieces
I lose myself
Then I repeat it

La-la-life
La-la-life
Small parts
Of a life

Small parts
Small parts
Small parts
Of a life

La-la-life
La-la-life
I repeat it
I repeat it

A call
No sound
A hotel downtown

A shirt
A lie
A very blue sky

You smiled
Too late
I missed my fate

The lift went up
I stayed at eight

I remember the song
But I don’t remember the band
I remember your mouth
But I don’t remember your hand

Little rooms
Little lights
Little debts
Little nights

I was almost happy
I was almost right

La-la-life
In small little pieces
La-la-life
It comes and it leaves us

Round and round
I go where the feeling goes
Up and down
Nobody really knows

La-la-life
In small little pieces
I lose myself
Then I repeat it

La-la-life
La-la-life
Small parts
Of a life

This is not sadness
This is inventory

One ticket
One number
One glass
One morning

This is not memory
This is machinery

I press play
I press stop
I press repeat

La-la-life
La-la-life

Small parts
Small parts

La-la-life
La-la-life

I repeat it
I repeat it

La-la-life
In small little pieces
La-la-life
It comes and it leaves us

Round and round
I go where the feeling goes
Up and down
Nobody really knows

La-la-life
In small little pieces
I lose myself
Then I repeat it

La-la-life
La-la-life
Small parts
Of a life

A room
A chair
A photograph there

Small parts
Small parts
Of a life

You showed up late with your hair still wet
Said “don’t ask where I’ve been”
I had two cold drinks and a nervous smile
You had trouble on your skin

We left our phones in the corner booth
Ran out before the bill
You said “I know a road where the city ends”
I said “show me I will”

And I don’t know
Where this thing is going
But your hand’s in mine
And the night keeps rolling

You say my name
Like a song you’re learning
Then you pull me close
And the whole street’s turning

So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather

You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever

Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you

Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you

You kicked your shoes off by the seaside bar
Danced on the pavement line
I tried to act like I didn’t care
But I was losing my mind

You stole my cap I stole your look
We were laughing too loud
Somebody played that old guitar
And you sang to the crowd

And I don’t know
If this is a warning
But your eyes say stay
Till the blue of morning

You say my name
Like you mean it maybe
Then you smile like that
And the night goes crazy

So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather

You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever

Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you

Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you

Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you
Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you

**[Bridge - Half Time]**
Maybe September comes too soon
Maybe this all disappears
Maybe we’re just two hearts
Making too much noise out here

But I don’t wanna slow down
I don’t wanna be right
I just wanna keep you
For the rest of tonight

So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather

You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever

Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you

Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you

Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you
Oh-oh-oh
Run into summer with you

I keep it folded tight
Like a letter in my coat
Then you say my name
And the whole thing starts to glow
My chest goes loud
My hands forget to rest
One look from you
And I’m a live wire in a dress

It comes in waves
It comes in red
It takes my calm
And shakes my bed
I try to hold back
Try to stay clean
But you pull the truth
Right out of me

Too much too much
I feel too much
(too much too much)
I break I rush
Too much too much
I feel too much
(and I don’t know how)
To hold this touch

I laugh too hard
Then I fall too deep
I say “I’m fine”
But it won’t let me sleep
Every little hurt
Gets a name gets a face
Every little joy
Leaves a mark I can’t replace

It comes in waves
It comes in red
It takes my calm
And shakes my bed
I try to hold back
Try to stay clean
But you pull the truth
Right out of me

Too much too much
I feel too much
(too much too much)
I break I rush
Too much too much
I feel too much
(and I don’t know how)
To hold this touch

If I go quiet
I’m not gone
I’m just full
And hanging on
Don’t call it weakness
Don’t call it a flaw
It’s just a heart
That wants it all

Too much too much
I feel too much
(too much too much)
I break I rush
Too much too much
I feel too much
(and I don’t know how)
To hold this touch

You gave me praise with borrowed words
A polished smile for every turn
A front-row seat a painted name
A perfect pose a hollow game
I learned the rules I played my part
Held every cue against my heart
Then one small crack became a door
I do not need that stage anymore

Keep your medals keep your throne
I can build a life my own

Paper crown let it fall
It was never worth it all
Every cheer became a chain
Every win required my name
Paper crown hit the ground
Hear that honest simple sound
I step out I stand tall
You can keep your paper crown

You sold applause as if it cared
Counted every room I shared
Made my value fit a chart
Turned a person to a part
I know success can still be kind
When I decide what counts as mine
No public score no velvet rope
Can own my nerve or price my hope

Keep your medals keep your throne
I can build a life my own

Paper crown let it fall
It was never worth it all
Every cheer became a chain
Every win required my name
Paper crown hit the ground
Hear that honest simple sound
I step out I stand tall
You can keep your paper crown

I do not need a room to rise
I do not need their measured eyes
My worth survives without a vote
That is the line I choose to hold

Paper crown let it fall
It was never worth it all
Every cheer became a chain
Every win required my name
Paper crown hit the ground
Hear that honest simple sound
I step out I stand tall
You can keep your paper crown

Achtung
Herr Casino
Kaiser Tempo
No love story
No apology
Nur Rhythmus

He came in sharp
Black coat white face
Gold ring no name

One step two guards
Red wine fast cars
Cold smile big talk
Slow hands hard walk

Everybody said
Who is this man?
Nobody moved
Nobody ran

He smiled like a banker
Danced like a thief
Talked like a prince
With a knife in his sleeve

Kaiser Tempo
King of the room
Too much money
Not enough truth

Clickclick
Camera flash
Ticktick
Count the cash

Big talk
Small town
Lights up
Hands down

He don’t sing
He declares
He don’t love
He compares

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
He says yes
When the world says no

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Velvet shoes
And a radio soul

Ohoh
Zu spät mein Freund
Ohoh
He never goes home

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Everybody knows
But nobody knows

Hotel lobby
Three am
Same old story
New problem

Silver lighter
Foreign smoke
He tells the truth
Like it’s a joke

Listen darling
Life is a game
Change the rules
Then change your name

He signs the bill
With a fountain pen
Leaves no number
Comes back again

One hand waving
One hand cold
Too young to stop
Too rich to grow old

Clickclick
Camera flash
Ticktick
Count the cash

Big talk
Small town
Lights up
Hands down

He don’t run
He arrives
He don’t sleep
He survives

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
He says yes
When the world says no

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Velvet shoes
And a radio soul

Ohoh
Zu spät mein Freund
Ohoh
He never goes home

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Everybody knows
But nobody knows

In Vienna
They called him trouble

In Paris
They called him style

In Milan
They called him expensive

In Berlin
They just smiled

He said
Gentlemen
You can buy the ticket
But you cannot buy the entrance

Then the bass came in

Tempo
Kaiser
Tempo
Kaiser

No crown
No throne
Just a telephone

No heart
No fear
Just a mirror near

Tempo
Kaiser
Tempo
Kaiser

Talk fast
Walk slow
Never let the people know

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
He says yes
When the world says no

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Velvet shoes
And a radio soul

Ohoh
Zu spät mein Freund
Ohoh
He never goes home

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Everybody knows
But nobody knows

Achtung
The bill is paid
The room is empty
Kaiser Tempo
Has left the building
