Playlist A Great Big World

a great big world - say something

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl

Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye

Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you
Oh-oh-oh-oh say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something

a great big world - rockstar

There's a girl in the backyard bangin' on her drum
Sittin' in a junk pile laughing at the sun
Singin' "ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"

There's a boy in the backseat singin' to the song
Playin' on the radio, knowing he's the one
Singin' "ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"

Singin' "ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar!"

There's a girl in the tree top looking at the stars
Waiting for a touchdown comin' in from Mars
Thinkin' "is there anybody out there?"

There's a boy thinking of here playin' his guitar
Searching for the answer buried in his heart
Singin' "ah, ha ha, is there anybody out there?"

Singin' "ah, ha ha, is there anybody out there"

If there's a meaning can you show me a sign
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why

And we're all getting older wishin' we were young
Hangin' on the memory of what we would become
Singin' "ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar"
Singin' "ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar"
Singin' "ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar!"

If there's a meaning can you show me a sign
The more I look it just gets harder to find
The world is spinnin' and I wanna know why

And maybe we will never figure it out
I got a feelin' that's what life's all about
I'm learning anything is possible now

Take a ticket and get off the line

a great big world - i don t wanna love somebody else

Oh, I built a world around you
Oh, you had me in a dream,
I lived in every word you said
The stars had aligned
I thought that I found you
And I don't wanna love somebody else

Oh, we left it all unspoken
Oh, we buried it alive
and now it's screaming in my head
Oh, I shouldn't go on hoping
Oh, that you will change your mind
and one day we could start again
Well I don't care if loneliness kills me
I don't wanna love somebody else

Oh, I thought that I could change you
Oh, I thought that we would be the greatest story that I tell
I know that it's time to tell you it's over
But I don't wanna love somebody else

a great big world - you ll be okay

You'll be okay
You'll be okay
The sun will rise
To better days

And change will come
It's on it's way
Just close your eyes
And let it rain

'Cause you're never alone
I will always be there
You just carry on
You will understand

You'll be okay
You'll be okay
Just look inside
You know the way

Let it go
Fly away
And say goodbye
To yesterday

'Cause you're never alone
And I will always be there
You just carry on
You will understand

And I will be strong
When love is gone
I'll carry on...

You'll be okay
You'll be okay
The sun will rise
To better days

You'll be okay
You'll be okay
Just close your eyes
And let it rain

When you need it the most
And all you've got is a prayer
You must carry on
You will understand
You will understand
You will understand

You'll be okay
You'll be okay
You'll be okay.

a great big world - there is an answer

I am just a sailor in a great big sea
Searching for what's meant for me
And I thank my lucky stars every single day
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be

When the storm begins to blow
When I've lost my way back home
Oh, there is an answer
Oh, there is an answer

There is a ripple to every wave
A rhythm to the days and nights
And all our thoughts, they make the world go round
All our efforts multiply

Make a change, and you will see
One small step is all we need
Oh, there is an answer
Oh, there is an answer

There is no difference between you and me
It lies beyond our history
And if we only take the time to see we're all we need
Just take my hand, and see me as a brother

Look inside, and you will find
Love exists in every kind
Oh, there is an answer
Oh, there is an answer

Near or far, oh I believe that love will find us there
Through the dark, oh I believe that love will find us there
Oh, I believe that love will find us there
Oh, I believe that love will find us there
Oh, I believe that love will find us there

Oh, there is an answer

a great big world - this is the new year

Another year you made a promise
Another chance to turn it all around
And do not save this for tomorrow
Embrace the past and you can live for now

And I will give the world to you

Speak louder than the words before you
And give them meaning no one else has found
The role we play is so important
We are the voices of the underground

And I will give the world to you

Say everything you've always wanted
Be not afraid of who you really are
'Cause in the end we have each other
And that's at least one thing worth living for

And I would give the world to you

A million suns that shine upon me
A million eyes you are the brightest blue
Let's tear the walls down that divide us
And build a statue strong enough for two

And pass it back to you
And I will wait for you

'Cause I would give the world
And I would give the world
And I would give the world to you

This is a New Year
A new beginning
You made a promise
You are the brightest

We are the voices
This is a New Year
We are the voices
This is a New Year

a great big world - cheer up

Cheer up! 'Cos nothing really matters when you look up into outer space.
It's a great big world and there's no need to cry.

Cheer up! We're all interconnected to the reaches of the galaxy.
And my best friend said he came from the sky.
He travelled to The Earth aboard a pink spaceship, it's hard for him to hide behind those eyes.

Cheer up! The atoms in your body are as old as every dinosaur.
You're a special part of one bring grand design.

Cheer up! We're all in this together to discover what we're living for.
13 billion years and there's still time.

Every night I wish upon the star so bright, waiting for the others to arrive.

Cheer up! 'Cos nothing really matters when you look up into outer space.
It's a great big world and there's no need to cry.
13 billion years and there's still time.

a great big world - land of opportunity

I'm sailing away, to a Land of Opportunity.
The sun will shine, and birds will sing there everyday
I'm sailing away, and I hope that you remember me.
It was fun, we had our run. Hip hip hooray!

You said 'hello', I loved you so,
just like in a movie scene.
I want you to know, I had to let go,
I'm falling in love again.

I'm running away, to a place where you won't bother me.
We won't talk for a while, we'll be okay.
And I'm changing my name to a word that's really hard to say.
It's no one's fault, I'm just too young, and you're insane.

I wasted my time, I missed all the signs,
and it ruined my holiday.
I want you to know, I had to let go,
I'm falling in love again

I just gotta believe there's something better.
I just gotta believe there's something more than you and me.
I've just gotta believe, I've just gotta believe.

You said 'hello', I loved you so,
I felt like a kid again.
I want you to know, I had to let go
I'm falling in love again.

I just gotta believe there's something better.
I just gotta believe there's something more than you and me.
I've just gotta believe, I've just gotta believe.

I'm sailing away to a Land of Opportunity.

a great big world - i really want it

[Verse 1]
So tell me what are we living for?
I say we chuck inhibitions
And sell our souls to rock and roll
I need to know what I'm missing

So turn it up on the stereo
Somebody light the ignition
What the hell are you waiting for?
It's time to make a decision

(Nah-oooh)

[Chorus]
I'm feeling the world go round
It's spinning me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not giving up
It's crawling under my skin
And I don't care if I sin

I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now
I really want it right now

[Verse 2]
If there's a maker up above
Then why is nobody listening
You show me hate, and I'll show you love
It's not about your religion

We're always lookin' to someone else
Just take a look in the mirror
'Cause all you need is inside yourself
It couldn't be any clearer

(Nah-oooh)

[Chorus]
I'm feeling the world go round
It's spinning me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not giving up
It's crawling under my skin
And I don't care if I sin

I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now
I really want it right now

[Bridge]
The more we love, the more we learn
The more we love, the more we burn
The more we love

So tell me what are we livin' for
I say we chuck inhibitions
And sell our souls to rock n' roll
I need to know what I'm missin'

[Chorus]
I'm feeling the world go round
It's spinning me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not giving up
It's crawling under my skin
And I don't care if I sin

I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now
I really want it right now

a great big world - i want a hippopotamus for christmas

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
a hippopotamus is all I want
Mom says the hippo would eat me up
But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
The kind I saw this summer at the zoo
there's lots of room for him in our two car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there
And give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No kangaroos or ducks or platypuses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

a great big world - hold each other

I miss the words we used to say
I miss the sounds of yesterday
I miss the games we used to play like ohhh
I was trapped inside a dream
I couldn?t see her next to me
I didn?t know she?d set me free like ohhh

Something happens when I hold her
She keeps my heart from getting older
When the days get short and the nights get a little bit colder
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other

Everything looks different now
All this time my head was down
He came along and showed me how to let go
I can?t remember where I?m from
All I know is who I?ve become
That our love has just begun like ohhh

Something happens when I hold him
He keeps my heart from getting broken
When the days get short and the nights get a little bit frozen
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other

[Futuristic:]
If I?m stressing you that blessing that's sent from heaven
These days start to feel like hours and hours feel more like seconds
People judged us they couldn?t see the connection
When I look at you, it?s like I?m looking back at my reflection
I don?t see nothing different, our pigments they coincide
We hold each other so tight they couldn?t break us if they tried
I feel the love in your touch and I trust what?s inside your mind
My eyes are are those of the blind, I see no color or size, ok
I know that we?ve been through a lot
I know that we both grew up
You know I missed you a lot
When I was young I was dumb
Didn?t think you'd fit in my plot
And I appreciate the break because I love what we got now
You give me chills and I can?t imagine you leaving
If I could build a perfect person honestly you would be it
And you know nobody knows you like I know you
I can?t wait to come back home so I can hold you

Something happens when I hold her
She keeps my heart from getting older
When the days get short and the nights get a little bit colder
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other
We hold each other

a great big world - already home

You say love is what you put into it
You say that I'm losing my will
Don't you know that you're all that I think about?
You make up a half of the whole

You say that it's hard to commit to it
You say that it's hard standing still
Don't you know that I spend all my nights
Counting backwards the days 'til I'm home?

If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone,
Just know that I'm already home

I say that we're right in the heart of it
A love only we understand
I will bend every light in this city
And make sure they're shining on you

If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone,
Just know that I'm already home

When life takes it's own course
Sometimes we just don't get to choose
I'd rather be there next to you
Promise you'll wait for me, wait for me
Wait 'til I'm home

All I have is this feeling inside of me
The only thing I've ever known

If only New York wasn't so far away
I promise the city won't get in our way
When you're scared and alone,
Just know that I'm already home

If only New York wasn't so far away
I will be there every step of the way
When you're scared and alone,
Just know that I'm already home
Just know that I'm already home

a great big world - everyone is gay

If you're gay, then you're gay
Don't pretend that you're straight
You can be who you are
Any day of the week
You are unlike the others
So strong and unique
We're all with you

If you're straight, well that's great
You can help procreate
And make gay little babies for the whole human race
Make a world we can live in
Where the one who you love's
Not an issue

'Cause we're all somewhere in the middle
We're all just looking for love to change the world
What if the world stops spinning tomorrow
We can't keep running away from who we are

If you're gay, then you're gay
If you're straight, well that's great
If you fall in between
That's the best way to be
You've got so many options
Every fish in the sea wants to kiss you

'Cause we're all somewhere in the middle
We're all just looking for love to change the world
What if the world stops spinning tomorrow
We can't keep running away from who we are

And we're all here in it together
We're one step closer to breaking down the walls

Everyone is gay
Hooray!

a great big world - all i want is love

Fear
You're just a name that I have learned
Another way for me to turn
And you brought me here
And it took years for me to find
That you were only in my mind

I've been looking in the wrong place
Couldn't see what I've always known
I was facing the wrong way
I missed it all, I missed it all
I don't care what they all say
Let me find my own way home
I don't care if my heart breaks
All I want is love

Hope
You're just a name that I hold close
There when I needed you the most
And you brought me here
Where I can learn to love myself
Without the love of someone else

I've been looking in the wrong place
Couldn't see what I've always known
I was facing the wrong way
I missed it all, I missed it all
I don't care what they all say
Let me find my own way home
I don't care if my heart breaks
All I want is love
All I want is love
All I want is love

I don't care what they all say
I don't care if my heart breaks
I don't care what they all say (all I want is love)
I don't care if my heart breaks
I don't care if my heart breaks

I've been looking in the wrong place
Couldn't see what I've always known
I was facing the wrong way
I missed it all, I missed it all
I don't care what they all say
Let me find my own way home
I don't care if my heart breaks
All I want is love
I don't care what they all say (all I want is love)
I don't care if my heart breaks (all I want is love)
I don't care what they all say (all I want is love)
I don't care if my heart breaks
All I want is love

a great big world
