Playlist Fitz And The Tantrums

fitz and the tantrums - spark

You think it's over now
You think we'll go away
But we keep climbing up
You can't keep us down

A temporary no
This shit is not for play
We're not your typical
That ain't what we're here for

It's time we light it up
Our match's to the grain
The tension's driving in
We ain't looking down

Watch how we take the throne
Drop like a cannonball
We take the lead, no
We're never gonna follow

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

Blow, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

3 years of digging holes
Been burning through our soles
Yeah we keep on rising high
You can't touch us now

We give it every night
Our hearts are dynamite
We spit that fire
So you better listen up

fitz and the tantrums - handclap

Somebody save your soul cause you've been sinning in this city I know
Too many troubles, all these lovers got you losing control
You're like a drug to me, a luxury, my sugar and gold
I want the good life
Every good night you're a hard one to hold

Cause you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

Somebody save your soul cause you've been sinning in this city I know
Too many troubles, all these lovers got you losing control
You're like a drug to me, a luxury, my sugar and gold
I want your sex and your affection when they're holdin' you close

Cause you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

Every night when the stars come out
Am I the only living soul around?
Need to believe you could hold me down
Cause I'm in need of somethin' good right now

We could be screamin' till the sun comes out
And when we wake we'd be the only sound
I get on my knees and say a prayer: James brown

That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
Turn it up
That I can make your hands clap

My flesh is searchin' for your worst and best, don't ever deny
I'm like a stranger, gimme me danger
All your wrongs and your rights
Secrets on broadway to the freeway, you're a keeper of crimes
Fear no conviction, grapes of wrath can only sweeten your wine

But you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

Every night when the stars come out
Am I the only living soul around?
Need to believe you could hold me down
Cause I'm in need of somethin' good right now

We could be screamin' till the sun comes out
And when we wake we'd be the only sound
I get on my knees and say a prayer: James brown

That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
So can I get a hand clap?

fitz and the tantrums - out of my league

More than just a dream...

Forty days and forty nights
I waited for a girl like you to come and save my
Life
All the days i waited for you
You know the ones who said i'd never find
Someone like you

And you were out of my league
All the things i believed
You were just the right kind
Yeah, you were more than just a dream
You were out of my league
Got my heartbeat waiting
If i die don't wake me
Cause you are more than just a dream

From time to time i pinch myself
Because i think my girl mistakes me for
Somebody else
And every time she takes my hand
All the wonders that remain
Become a simple fact

That you were out of my league
All the things i believed
You were just the right kind
Yeah, you were more than just a dream
You were out of my league
Got my heartbeat waiting
If i die don't wake me
Cause you are more than just a dream

You were out of my league
All the things i believed
You were just the right kind
Yeah, you were more than just a dream
You were out of my league
Got my heartbeat waiting
If i die don't wake me
Cause you are more than just a dream

More than just a dream...

fitz and the tantrums - pickin up the pieces

Felt like the stars fell down before us
In a dream of you and me
Then a storm came outta nowhere
Turned my peace to misery

'Cause I been runnin' now for days
Pickin' up the pieces of love
I'm not so sure it'll go my way
That's just the price of love
I am oh so tired of loneliness
But the world don't change
And I can't have you, you've gone away
You were the reason, you are the reason I stay

This fairy tale that you painted for me
You only see what you wanna see
But I'm inclined to tell you somethin'
You never show me how you cared for me

'Cause I been runnin' now for days
Pickin' up the pieces of love
I'm not so sure it'll go my way
That's just the price of love
I am oh so tired of loneliness
But the world don't change
And I can't have you, you've gone away
You were the reason, you are the reason I stay

I stay
The reason I stay

Oh Oh Oh Oh

fitz and the tantrums - break the walls

Hey! Break the walls. [x4]

Through the epic unconsciousness
Through the valley of beatin? chests
Turn the sound down, still hear the roar
Let the beast out, what did you come for?

Give me a sledgehammer and give me strength
Watch the world come crumbling down
Cut me loose I seek the truth
I bet the freedom, the freedom will carry me

Hey! Break the walls [x4]

To the wild I travel the unknown
The fathers pray out to be overthrown
Turn the lights down oh to be blind at peace
Let the beast out and watch it bare its teeth

Give me a sledgehammer and give me strength
Watch the world come crumbling down
Cut me loose I seek the truth
I bet the freedom, the freedom will carry me

Hey! Break the walls [x4]

Kick and scream fight for the unseen
Fight for harmony, fight for you and me [x4]

Hey! Break the walls [x8]

fitz and the tantrums - the walker

Ooh, crazy's what they think about me
Ain't gonna stop cause they tell me so
Cause 99 miles per hour baby
Is how fast that I like to go

Can't keep up with my rhythm
Though they keep trying
Too quick for the lines they throw
I walk to the sound of my own drum
It goes, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah

Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really need it, need it, so go
Gotta feel it, body takes control
Really need it, need it

I wake up to the city of angels
To see my name headlining the coast
They say I'm a walking dreamer, baby
If I stop they would make the show

Can't keep up with my rhythm
Though they keep trying
Too quick for the lines they throw
I walk to the sound of my own drum
It goes, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah

Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really need it, need it, so go
Gotta feel it, body takes control
Really need it, need it

Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really need it, need it, so go
Gotta feel it, body takes control
Really need it, need it

Everybody walk
Everybody walk
Everybody walk, walk, walk

Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really need it, need it, so go
Gotta feel it, body takes control
Really need it, need it

Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really need it, need it, so go
Gotta feel it, body takes control
Really need it, need it

fitz and the tantrums - 6 am

Girl, I get tired of sleeping alone in my bed
I really need you now
I've been trying to get back the days that we had
But see, I don't know how
There's no way to conceive the right plans in my head
I just can't hold them down
All my hopes they stay curled in between these four walls
And I can't shake them out

It's 6 in the morning, I'm still awake
My sleepless heart is torn up, babe
A love song's on the radio
But these words I hear - they're not for me, no

It's 6 in the morning, I'm still awake
My sleepless heart is torn up, babe
A love song's on the radio
But these words I hear - they're not for me, no

I'm tryna keep up, tryna move on
Beyond this pain before I break

See it's hard to confess, but I miss all the time we spent
I can't explain
'Cause when I start up the nerve to reach out to you, baby
It just floats away
Still I dream of the days when we were on the same page
I really want them now
All my hopes they stay curled in between these four walls
And I can't shake them out

It's 6 in the morning, I'm still awake
My sleepless heart is torn up, babe
A love song's on the radio
But these words I hear - they're not for me, no

It's 6 in the morning, I'm still awake
My sleepless heart is torn up, babe
A love song's on the radio
But these words I hear - they're not for me, no

I'm tryna keep up, tryna move on
Beyond this pain, before I break

It's 6 in the morning, I'm still awake
My sleepless heart is torn up, babe
A love song's on the radio
But these words I hear - they're not for me, no

It's 6 in the morning, I'm still awake
My sleepless heart is torn up, babe
A love song's on the radio
But these words I hear - they're not for me, no

Not for me
They're not for me, no

fitz and the tantrums - fools gold

Oh, maybe I just wasn't good enough
To blow your mind, you know I've tried
Them silver lines they cut like blades of glass
Not worth the blood we've shed for love

So give it up, start heating, hearts have gone cold
Had enough bleed-bleeding, it's all been done before
Give it up, start heating, hearts have gone cold
Hey now, when we gonna wake up?

But fools gold shines like diamonds in our eyes
Thought we had a million, but baby we got nothing
But fools gold shines like words that make us cry
We just keep on digging, find us something better
For the next time, next time
Something better for the next time, next time

So maybe I just wasn't strong enough
To tow the line, make true the lies
The fortune found, now it's all locked away
We've lost the key, how to believe

So give it up, start heating, hearts have gone cold
Had enough bleed-bleeding, it's all been done before
Give it up, start heating, hearts have gone cold
Hey now, when we gonna wake up?

But fools gold shines like diamonds in our eyes
Thought we had a million, but baby we got nothing
But fools gold shines like words that make us cry
We just keep on digging, find us something better
For the next time, next time
Something better for the next time, next time

Oh baby I just wasn't good enough
Cause baby I just wasn't strong enough

But fools gold shines like diamonds in our eyes
Thought we had a million, but baby we got nothing
But fools gold shines like words that make us cry
We just keep on digging, find us something better

But fools gold shines like diamonds in our eyes
Thought we had a million, but baby we got nothing
But fools gold shines like words that make us cry
We just keep on digging, find us something better
For the next time, next time
Something better for the next time, next time
Something better for the next time, next time
Something better for the next time, next time

fitz and the tantrums - house on fire

So here we stand
You got caught with love in the hand
Blinded by the sun and the steel
Nothing but the sound of the feel
The blood sweat and tears

Shake off my past
I knew it but I see it at last
And now it's like climbing the walls
All I see, the smell of the smoke
The tears that they choke

I never wanted
Truth is a liar
I never needed
This house is on fire

Flashes kick in
Honoring the day you stepped in
Image of him touching your hand
Thought of it as just innocence
But now it makes sense

You were so free
Never saw that picture with me
Now this fly is climbing the walls
All I see are ashes, the pain
The love lost in vain

I never needed
Truth is a liar
I never needed
This house is on fire
I never wanted
Truth is a liar
I never needed
This house is on fire

Bury the echoes
Turn it back
Melt all my wishing
For the times we once had
Damage my vision
Set it ablaze
Destroy the hour
Take me away

I never wanted
Truth is a liar
I never needed
This house is on fire

fitz and the tantrums - lov

I don't believe in the power of love
When the world is crumbling down
And all the fears that you face in the mirror
Oh the spirits come down, they say

L.O.V for you and me
It's just the way it's gotta be
L.O.V for you and me
It's just the way it's gotta be
Oh, when love come 'round

Love is a feeling
Feel the words of love
Come on now
Hold these words as the sweetest embrace
And try, come on, try

I don't believe that you've given up on love
I'm hoping that you'll come around
It's the fear that you know but you gotta let go
So baby, please don't doubt, they say

L.O.V for you and me
It's just the way it's gotta be
L.O.V for you and me
It's just the way it's gotta be
Oh, when love come 'round

Love is a feeling
Feel the words of love
Come on now
Hold these words as the sweetest embrace
And try, come on, try

Oh baby, you know it's gonna be alright
If you could find your way back home
I'd never ever ever let you go

Love is a feeling
Feel the words of love
Come on now
Hold these words as the sweetest embrace
And try, come on, try

To see things all my way
For the days that since you've left me
And I know that you probably keep away

Oh what a lovely day
Breaking the chains of love
I'm hoping that you won't find a new love
Cause I know baby you're mine

Can't you see that you're mine

You don't know, what you have
You're gonna find, I ain't so bad
When I'm gone, and you're alone, no one to give it to you
Cause now I know, where its at
That's right I'm wrong, it's such a drag
And the bitch is back
But not for long

Any day now
Any way now
Winds of change they blowing my direction
People will see that its time
Go on cry don't say what's the inspiration
People will know that its time
So walk on by
So walk on by

Sitting there, your little throne
The queen of rap, got no king of Rome
Bring it on, you play it on, go find someone else
You never felt this before
I don't feel the same anymore
Cause I don't need this shit going on

Any day now
Any way now
Winds of change they blowing my direction
People will see that its time
Go on cry don't say what's the inspiration
People will know that its time
So walk on by

Then she sees me walk on by
So walk on by
So walk on by
