L.A. lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh here's a story bout a boy named J.
Nothing he did would ever get in my way
but there's still a long, long way to go.
I've only ever seen his face on film,
I've only ever heard the lines he'd say
But still they won't, get in my way.

I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
wake up one morning and your dreams are life
never let them, bring me down
never let them, tear me down.
I always thought that I would follow you.
Every place and everything you do
but I'm happy to be by myself,
I don't need no-one else

He's never ever seen my face before
I'm trying hard cos this I can't ignore
but there's still a long, long way to go.

[Chorus]

All my dreams are built around your face, and this place
All the times I'm starring at the sun, you're the one.
All my dreams are built around your face, and this place
All the times I'm starring at the sun, you're the one.

[Chorus]

A Wish For Something More lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh the sun is shining far too bright
For it to still be night
Oh the air feels so cold, so cold and old
How can it be light?

Let's take a walk outside
See the world through teach others eyes
I wish I was your only one

I think you're beautiful but your hair is a mess
And your shoes are untied but that's what I love best

And I, I wish I was the one, your one and only sun and you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairy tale romances every single day
And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh I love you like a friend, but lets not pretend how I wish for something, wish for something more

Now the grass is so green, but I can't see anything past your eyes
I'm fixated on your smile; your cherry lips make life worth while
I'm thinking these things while I'm trying to say
This lie gets in my way, every single day

And I, I wish I was the one, your one and only sun and you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairy tale romances every single day
And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh I love you like a friend, but lets not pretend how I wish for something, wish for something more

Now this sun is fading, now the rain is coming down
And I'm looking at your face and you're looking at the ground
I see diamonds in your dreams, I see pearls around your neck,
I see everything that's beautiful, oh everything that's beautiful

I wish I was the one, your one and only sun and you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairy tale romances every single day
And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh I love you like a friend, but lets not pretend how I wish for something, wish for something more

Footballer's Wife lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh, Mr James Dean, he don't
belong to anything.
Oh he left before they could get him,
With their ways, their wicked ways.
Oh Marilyn Monroe, where did you go?
I didn't hear all your stories
I didn't see all your glory.

But the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end who is she to pretend
That she's one of them
I don't think so.
And the girl from that show
yes the one we all know
she thinks she's some kinda star, yes you know who you are.
I don't think so. I don't think so.

Oh ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire
Won't you dance for me cos I just don't care
What's going on today, I think there's something more, something more.
And I'm gone with the wind like they were before.
But I'm believing myself I think there's something more
There must be something more, I think there's something more, something more.

[Chorus]

Oh I don't believe in the telling of your stories
throughout your life, there's just something unappealing it don't catch my eye
it don't catch my eye.
Oh I don't believe in the selling of your glories before you leave this life
there's so much more to see, I don't believe this is how the world should be.

[Chorus]

The Road To Home lyrics - amy mcdonald

Oh, the leaves are falling from the trees
And the snow is coming, don't you know?
But I'll still remember which way to go
I'm on the road, the road to home

Oh, the sound is fading in my ears
And I can't believe I've lasted all these years
But I'll still remember which way to go
I'm on the road, the road to home

Oh, the light is fading all the time
And this life I'm in, it seems to pass me by
But I'll still remember which way to go
I'm on the road, the road to home

Now I must say goodbye
Keep telling myself now don't you cry
But I'm here where I belong
I'll see you soon, it won't be long
I'll see you soon, it won't be long
I'll see you soon, it won't be long

Somebody New lyrics - amy mcdonald

I never knew you before I never seen that sweet smile or those eyes are dazzled from about a mile away
I never smelt that sweet scent that followed you everywhere you went or even had the chance to call you mine

Now I look back in regret at all the missed hours I spent watching my life just pass me by Now you're with somebody new and there's nothing I can do just sit back and watch you smile
I......watch you smile
I......watch you smile

It's like everywhere I go I know you always gonna be there but you don't see me there as I try to walk by you all you ever seem to do is move away from there

Now I look back in regret at all the missed hours I spent watching my life just pass me by now you're with somebody new and there's nothing I can do just sit back and watch you smile
I......watch you smile
I......watch you smile

Now I look back in regret at all the missed hours I spent watching my life just pass me by now you're with somebody new and there's nothing I can do just sit back and watch you smile
I......watch you smile
I......watch you smile
