She was a rainbow once
So colorful but that was once
Now that's impossible to see, to see
With a voice subliminal
It's the only sign she's beautiful
Here's all that's left of her dignity
She goes yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

There's a girl in New York City
The skyline's no longer pretty
Bound for destination anywhere
She grew up in California
Big dreams they tend to own you there
Now she's building cardboard castles in the air
the air, the air, the air,

He was a pretty boy
Rolling cash his only joy
Now that's impossible to see, to see
Used to be one of them
Now the men in suits are avoiding him
He lost his credit cards
But hey he's free

There's a man in New York City
The skyline's no longer pretty
Bound for destination anywhere
Had the whole world at his window.
It seems so long ago from then
Now he's building cardboard castles in the air.
The air

Does anybody know?
Does anybody care?
Over here, over there.
Building cardboard castles in the air.

There's a girl in New York City
The skyline's no longer pretty
Bound for destination anywhere
She grew up in California
Big dreams they tend to own you there
Now she's building cardboard castles in the air,
the air, the air, the air.

There's a girl in New York City
The skyline's no longer pretty
Bound for destination anywhere
She grew up in California
Big dreams they tend to own you there
Now she's building cardboard castles in the air
the air, the air, the air,
the air, the air, the air, the air
Oh, Oh so long ago

I wake up every morning to another crazy day I have to -- face.
And when I'm losing my direction, you're the one who points me in the right way.

You always know when I'm about to fall.
It's like your standing there when I hit that wall.
Because of you my eyes are open,
and instead of always hoping I have faith today.

So, thank you for blue skies
When my head is down you remind me to look up
And thank you for all those times you believed when others couldn't see
Oh, without you where would I be?

I should tell you in a letter
All the things I have never said.
'Cause when you're right in front of me
Nothing ever comes out -- how I planned
Like the heart in you
Goes on for miles.
And when it passes it through me I come alive.
If I ever learned a lesson it's in the first and lasting impression
of the way you got to me.

So, thank you for blue skies
When my head is down you remind me to look up
And thank you for all those times you believed when others couldn't see
Oh, without you where would I be?
Where would I be?

I wake up every morning to another crazy day I have to -- face.
Thank you for blue skies
When my head is down you remind me to look up
And thank you for all those times you believed when others couldn't see
Oh, without you where would I be?
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you,
For without you
Where would I be?

Sometimes I'm sad, about everything
Sometimes I'm mad, and break some things
Sorry times ten, but you just got in the way

Don't give up no, running away
I won't hurt you
Sometimes I'm just a pain
And that's the way it is
That's just the way I am

Sometimes I feel like crying
Laying down and dying
That's when I need you
Laughing's always easy
But sometimes I'm just scared you'll leave me
That's when I feel,
Emotional

You say I'm just, impossible
Totally, unpredictable
I'm just a girl, get used to it
No big deal

You can't change me
Why would you try
I'm no angel, but I can make you smile

And that's the way it is
And that's just the way I am

Sometimes I feel like crying
Laying down and dying
That's when I need you
Laughing's always easy
But sometimes I’m just scared you'll leave me
That's when I feel.
Emotional

Don't give up now, running away
I won't hurt you
Sometimes I'm just a pain
And that's the way it is
That's just the way I am

Sometimes I feel like crying
Laying down and dying
That's when I need you
Laughing's always easy
But sometimes I'm just scared you'll leave me
That's when I feel

Sometimes I get,
Emotional

Why me.
Woe is me.

Don't they know that I'm a hip-hop queen,
A rock and roll dream
It's all bling-bling
I'm the star of the scene
Yeah, check me out
See what I'm all about
I'm the one that you want
And the one you can't have
The girl that you call that doesn't ever call back
Just look at me, I've got everything
But then I woke up

I was lying on the couch,
Drool coming out my mouth
Turned on the TV
Dr. Phil won't you please fix me
Waiting for the phone to ring
Flipping though a magazine
Why doesn't he call?
Guess I'm the loser down the hall

Why me?
I just wanta sleep

Don't they know that I'm a hip-hop queen,
A rock and roll dream
It's all bling-bling
I'm the star of the scene.
Yeah, check me out
See what I'm all about
I'm the one that you want,
And the one you can't have
The girl that you call that doesn't ever call back
Just look at me, I've got everything
But then I woke up

I like living in a dream
(I like living in a dream)
It's everything it's supposed to be.
It's a holiday from me.

It's all just kicking in.

This is where I begin just being me.
It's okay to be me.
But it's fun to be a hip-hop queen,
A rock and roll dream
It's all bling-bling, yeah, baby, ka-ching
Come check me out,
I’m bringing down the house
I’m the one that you want, you know I'm heaven sent
I'm a little Lynrd Skynrd, A little 50 cent
Just look at me
I’ve got everything

But then I woke up
I woke up
I woke up
I woke up
Then I woke up
I woke up
Just look at me
I had everything

It was all a dream,
So it seems to me now
All the falling up into the heavens
Then floating down
Was it all in my head, this premonition
When I look back its hard to tell the difference between
What really happened
And what I imagined

But it's all over now,
So it doesn’t really matter
Don’t know why I feel so shattered
I shoulda known better

You were all I never wanted,
Anyhow, yeah
But I sure want you now
I want you now.

Well I thought I knew
I was under control
You would never be
The one to shake me
What did I know
Well it's strange how you feel when you're so mistaken
When you knew it was wrong from the start but you couldn't let it go.
That's why I feel so faded
I'm trying to turn the pages.

But it's all over now
So it doesn’t really matter
Don’t know why I feel so shattered
I shoulda known better

You were all I never wanted,
Anyhow, yeah.
But I sure want you now
I want you

I'm not coming around again
I'm not going down again
No hanging on
No looking back
There's nothing more to say

But it's all over now.
So it doesn’t really matter
Don’t know why I feel so shattered
I shoulda known better

You were all I never wanted
Anyhow, yeah.
But I sure want you now
Oh yeah
But it's all over now.
So it doesn’t really matter
Don’t know why I feel so shattered
I shoulda known better

You were all I never wanted,
Anyhow, yeah.
But I sure want you
But I sure want you
But I sure want you now
But I sure want you now

What goes around comes back around
Seems that just the way heartache falls
I learned to live without you by my side.
But I prayed for the day that you'd called.
So why don't you lie down beside me
Open your heart and confide in me.

Go on and cry
Here's my shoulder, why don't you try
To imagine that I’d even care
Go on and cry,
On my cold shoulder
Ow, you left me so sad
And you hurt me so bad
It’s your turn to cry, cry, cry
Over me.

You say you made a big mistake--
Yes you did
When you threw away the love I gave
Boy, I always knew you'd come round again
Umm, looking for the love we made

Go on and cry
Here's my shoulder, why don't you try
To imagine that I’d even care
Go on and cry,
On my cold shoulder
Oh, you left me so sad
And you hurt me so bad
It’s your turn to cry, cry, cry

Sometimes love is overrated, yeah
It can be so hard to find a cure
And when a heartbreak is understated
It comes back around
I am sure
Oh oh oh

Go on and cry
Here’s my shoulder, my shoulder
Why don’t you try to imagine that I’d even care
Go on and cry
On my cold shoulder
Oh you, you left me so sad
And you hurt me so bad
Your turn to cry
Go on and cry

Over me
Cry over me

I wish the world would just spin faster
Get to my happy ever after.
You're looking at me,
You're waiting to see the difference,
The difference in me.
And you keep telling me to grow up,
But why should I, it's never good enough
How could I be when you never see the difference,
The difference in me.

I don't wanta fight
Don't care whose right or wrong anymore.
I'm sick of all this pain
Can it be the way it was before
When I always made you smile
Seems it's been a while
'Cause now you're always out of reach

I wish the world would just spin faster
Get to my happy ever after.
You're looking at me,
You're waiting to see the difference,
The difference in me.
And you keep telling me to grow up,
But why should I, it's never good enough
How could I be when you never see the difference,
The difference in me.
(L: the difference, R: the difference in me)

You say that I should try
But I feel that I'm half alive
And the best of me is somewhere else

I wish the world would just spin faster
Get to my happy ever after.
You're looking at me,
You're waiting to see the difference,
The difference in me.
And you keep telling me to grow up,
But why should I, it's never good enough
How could I be when you never see the difference,
The difference in me.

I changed my hair
And I doing my clothes
And you say that you see but you don't notice the difference,
The difference, the difference in me.
I am the same as I was before.
I'm not afraid to walk right out that door.
See the difference, the difference in me.

Don't tell me you want me
'cause you don't - today.
I woke up this morning knowing that - I've changed.
That look in your eyes
What a surprise to hear that you felt the same.

I want you till you want me
When I have you I feel, yeah, empty inside
It's not what I thought
It's like I've been caught between the dream of you
and the reality of me.

I want you till you want me

You're ready to show me where this all can go.
But now that I've got you I'm not in control
Cause I can figure this out.
I'm so full of doubt.
I just wanna to turn and run away.

I want to tell you what I mean
When I have you I feel, yeah, empty inside
It's not what I thought
It's like I've been caught between the dream of you
and the reality of me.

I'm gettting over that we were once meant to be
Cause when I see you I'm numb
It's like I just freeze
There's something about you that makes me think

I want you till you want me
When I have you I feel empty inside
It's not what I thought
It's like I've been caught between the dream of you
and the reality of me.

It's not what I thought
It's like I've been caught between the dream of you
and the reality of me.

Don't tell me you want me
'cause you don't - today.

Dreams, are just dreams, when their stuck inside you're head
And all it takes, is a little help from you
You know it's true that dreams are for real
When you see what I see, and you feel it too
We took the longest road just to make it harder
Let's do it all again it only makes us stronger

Dreams
I guess we're just made of dreams
Nothing else matters as long as we believe
I'm lookin' at you, and I see my life
Passing before my eyes
And when the journey's over
And all my dreams come true
I'll dream of you

What do you see, when you look inside your heart?
A little thought can walk a thousand miles
And change your life
When dreams lead the way
The impossible is suddenly in sight
Every step we take just brings it all together
You gotta keep the faith when all seems lost forever

Dreams
I guess we're just made of dreams
Nothing else matters as long as we believe
I'm lookin' at you, and I see my life
Passing before my eyes
And when the journey's over
And all my dreams come true
I'll dream of you

You're the one that keeps my hope alive
My vision clear
I spend my life with you
Conquer fear, we'll make it through

Nothing else matters as long as we believe
I'm lookin' at you, and I see my life
Passing before my eyes
And when the journey's over
And all my dreams come true
I'll dream of you
I'll dream of you
I'll dream of you

You say I'm your best friend
You know that you can count on me.
You say I'm nice, I'm funny.
Is that why I not the girl of your dreams?
You say that I'm the only who understands you.
But I'm the one on Friday nights with nothing to do.

I don't think so.

Hey I've got something to say.
We both know that you've been cheating off my paper since seventh grade.
You know that you do it.
Hey, so don't go walking away.
This is for every girl in love whose ever fallen for a boy like you.

I hate your call waiting
Because I know you're on the line with her.
You click back.
It's so frustrating
Because you don't remember where we were.
You ask what movies that I've seen
You want to know what's good
But she's the one that gets to go
When I should.

I don't think so.

Hey I've got something to say.
I saw her wearing the black jacket I gave you on Christmas day.
You said that you lost it.
Hey, don't go running away.
This is for every girl in love whose been bawling for a boy like you.

I'm just the fool that you can kick around
The loser who picks up when you are down.
The girl in glasses who sits next to you
Who always tells that you're great
And fixes all your big mistakes.
And when she goes and breaks your heart
I get your call. You fall apart.

I don't think so.

Hey I've got something to say.

Some day you'll realize I was the one
By then it's gonna be too late
You'll be sorry.
Hey, don't give me that face
This is for every girl alive whose heart's been broken by a boy like you.
This is for every girl alive whose heart's been broken by a boy like you.

Loser.

Do me a favor
And tell me what you think about me
Tell me how you want this to be
Go out on a limb and just dream

Paint a picture
Choose your colors extra wise
Especially what you put on my mind
fill me in so i can fly high tonight

Woahooo your thoughts are gonna lift me up
Do you know its good to want too much

(Chorus:)

Oh you've got my head in the clouds
And oh you've got me comin' around
The more you think about me
The more that I believe
That nothings ever out of reach
So Dream Dream Dream

(End Chorus)

I breathe your visions
They pull me through the coldest of nights
They steer me towards a moment in time
When you show me what it means for you to be mine, Yea

Whoaooo your givin me the will to try
And you know there's desire in these eyes

(Chorus:)

Hah, it's like my birthday
Everytime you look at me
I feel the earthquake
Every time that you dream

Whoaooo your thoughts are gonna lift me up
Do you know, its good to want to much, much
Oh you make me dance in the rain
And oh I wanna love once again
The more you think about me
The more that I believe
That nothing's ever out of reach
So Dream Dream Dream
Dream

The more you think about me
The more that I believe
That nothing's ever out of reach
So Dream Dream Dream
Dream

Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile, and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about her, 'cause you see
Baby is an awful lot like me

Don't Cry Out Loud
Just keep it inside, and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
And the different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothing left but sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see,
She had the finest teacher, that was me

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, oh and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, oh and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost made it

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
