kimbra - somebody that i used to know

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up
On somebody that you used to know...

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody...
I used to know
Somebody...
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)
Somebody...
I used to know
Somebody...
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody

kimbra - withdraw

Now I can't spend a minute
Now I can't steal the time
I've lost all my friends like money
I've lost all my men to the sky

Can't keep your loving from my mind
It's worth more than gold, crystals and pride
Ready to shake these stars from me

But I can't withdraw your heart from mine
No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine

I never knew what your love could do
I blast it all away
Thought I could satisfy the yearning of my
Heart shaped hole on hold for you

Never learned to hold on
I hold too tight and have to let go
But there's no love, no love,
There's nothing to take your place

Now I can't spend a minute
Now I can't steal the time
I've lost all my friends like money
I've lost all my men to the sky

I can't keep your loving from my mind
It's worth more than gold, crystals and pride
Ready to shake these stars from me

Oh, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
You're the one thing that sticks right onto my side
No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
How'd I get so stuck, so stuck to your side?

No I can't withdraw your heart from mine
You're the one thing that sticks, right onto my side
I can't withdraw your heart from mine.

kimbra - warrior

My hands are tied
But my eyes are open
This modern denial
Has me broken

Nothing mystical
No hullabaloo
Just chemicals
And no one looking down on you

What am I thinking if you're so sure it's rational
While the world's shrinking but that don't make it logical
What am I thinking if you say I'm just an animal
I feel like I'm sinking you can't explain away the way I feel

You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
They tell you 'trust your head, be like men' but never feel like you're good enough
You're just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love

I'll be your warrior, warrior

You're taking over
And I'm feeling small
When I was a child
I knew it all

Nothing magical
No hologram behind the door
Just a chain reaction
But I know I'm made for more

What am I thinking if you're so sure it's rational
While the world's shrinking but that don't make it logical
What am I thinking if you say I'm just an animal
I feel like I'm sinking you can't explain away the way I feel

And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
They tell you, 'trust your head, be like men' but never feel like you're good enough
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love

And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
You wanna change the world, but your girls will be seen and not be heard
You just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love

And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
They tell you, 'trust your head, trust your head'
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
They wanna take our light, take our light, but never cry for the ones you love

And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing me down
You wanna change the world, but your girls will be seen and not be heard
You just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing me down
They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never cry for the ones you love

kimbra - carolina

[Chorus]
You!
You!

[Verse 1]
I?m gonna ride to Carolina
Drive for miles, till I see the light
Find my feet in Carolina
Some man I'll meet to take my mind off ya

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
My heart's on fire for Carolina
Never been but I?ve seen the skyline
In a postcard from Delilah
She's got it made and I got my mind made up

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
But in my heart I know it's time to come back
(I feel it, now I feel it)
Cause you're the home, I never find off the beaten track
(Now I feel it, now I feel it)
And in my heart, I know I can't keep running away
(Now I feel it, now I feel it)
I'm always traveling fast to nowhere

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Come get a new life in Carolina
I don't know why but I'll soon find out
I?ll find a house with an ocean view
Work good hours and be somebody new

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

kimbra - limbo

And I've got a lot to lose, you've got a lot to prove
I've got a lot to risk, you know I can't afford to miss
So we're gonna run around forever just typing
Thinking of what could have been mine and
I know you say you're sorry you'll type back before
Running round in limbo, running round it all
(running round in limbo, running round it all)

Show me that there's something I could go back for
Show me that there's love worth fighting for
Give me a good reason to believe at all
Running round in limbo, running round it all

If you say you're scared then I'm terrified
If you say you're ready then I'm justified
If you say it's easy then you've crossed the line
If you say it's over then I'm in denial

Show me that there's something I could go back for
Show me that there's love worth fighting for
Give me a good reason to believe at all
Running round in limbo, running round it all

And I've got a lot to lose, you've got a lot to prove

Show me that there's something I could go back for
(show me that there's love)
Cause we're running round in limbo, running round it all
(show me that there's love)
Show me that there's something I could go back for
(show me that there's love)
Show me, cause we're running round in limbo, running round it all
(running round in limbo, running round it all)

kimbra - something in the way you are

Something got me out of my
Slumber in the broken light
Watching you across the room
Shadowed by the placid moon
And I can feel it in my bones
Something that nobody knows
How it really feels inside
To let go of all my pride

I sense it, I feel it
I sense it, I feel it

[Hook 1]
It's something in the way you lie (Oh)
It's something so hard to find (Oh)
It's something in the way you slept (That door)
Something's always left me wanting (More)
It's something in the way you smile (Oh)
You make a silly drunken stride (Oh)
Something in the way you are
Something in the way you are

I'm wondering about your childhood
Wonder if you were misunderstood
I'm watching you inside your head
I wonder if you know how long I can
And I can feel it in my bones
I love all of the sticks and stones
And every little word you say
You're breaking me in the best way

[Hook 1]

[Hook 2]
It's something when you look so tough (Oh)
It's something I can't get enough (Oh)
It's something when you make that sound (Oh)
It's something when you break it down
It's something when you raise your voice (Oh)
I know that I don't have a choice (Oh)
It's something in the way you are
Something in the way you are

You're my (favorite) pastime
Even when you're just passing by
Stay a little while
It's only you and I
You're my (favorite) pastime
Even when you're just passing by
Stay a little while
It's only you and I

[Hook 1]

[Hook 2]

kimbra - two way street

I feel the four become five
And i'm waiting, waiting, waiting
For you to walk down the boulevard
And to take me, take me, take me
But the moment you appear
You wake me, wake me, wake me, wake me
Out of the slumbers of my head
From the slums of loneliness

And there's no conspiracy!
Behind the way two hearts meet!
When love is a two way street
And i think i'm ready
To let you get under my skin
I can't make you fall for me
Love is a two way street

We're coming close to our flame
They'll put a star beside our names
But i couldn't care for the history
When i've got you in front of me
And the cars could all collide
The shards of glass won't catch my eye
Because you're almost by my side
We're counting down at the green light

And there's no conspiracy!
Behind the way two hearts meet!
When love is a two way street
And i think i'm ready
To let you get under my skin
I can't make you fall for me
Love is a two way street

kimbra - plain gold ring

Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone, but not me
On his hand was a plain gold ring

Plain gold ring had a story to tell
It was one that I knew too well
And in my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears that plain gold ring

Nighttime comes calling on me
I know why I'll never be free
I can't stop these teardrops of mine
I'm gonna love him till the end of time

Plain gold ring has but one thing to say
I'll remember till my dying days
In my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears that plain gold ring

Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore

kimbra - home

I'm gonna play with my cards
Hoping I find the love I'm talking 'bout
Gonna get out of the past
Nothing is left there that I'm talking 'bout

[Hook]
Where is home?
Is it caught in a lover's charm
Taught in my father's lies
Where is home?
Fall from the highest star
Called from another's heart
Where is home?
Ohh, ohh
Home is here

I'm gonna stop at the side
Groping at bright lights and the broken parts
And I'm a dancing outcast
Hoping for futures who outweigh the past

[Hook]

Home is here
Home is here
Home is here

I got what you want, baby don't move, when they move along
Get tight, get it tough, everyone's fighting for the one they want

kimbra - cameo lover

This is nonstop baby
You've got me going crazy
You're heavier than i knew
But i dont want no other
You're my cameo love
Only here for a moment or two
You stay inside that bubble
With all of your trouble
In your black hole
You turn from the skies
You dance with your demise
I'll be here when you come home

We've all gotta break down
Let me come and break down with you

Cos everydays like talking in ur sleep!
Love is like a silhoeutte in dreams!
Open up your heart!
Open up your heart!
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here!

Cos everydays like talking in ur sleep!
Love is like a silhoeutte in dreams!
Open up your heart!
Open up your heart!
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here!

I've got high hopes baby
But all you do is take me down to depths that i never knew
You've got two arms baby
They're all tangled in ladies of the black skies posing blue
Let go of your mother
And turn to your brother!
Not a long gone lovers noose
Sometimes baby the hardest part of breaking is leaving pieces behind you

We've all gotta get by
Let me come and hold you high, with you

Cos everydays like talking in ur sleep!
Love is like a silhoeutte in dreams!
Open up your heart!
Open up your heart!
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here!

Cos everydays like talking in ur sleep!
Love is like a silhoeutte in dreams!

Baby love is all that you need

Cos everydays like talking in ur sleep!
Love is like a silhoeutte in dreams!
Open up your heart!

Cos everydays like talking in ur sleep!
Love is like a silhoeutte in dreams!

kimbra - deep for you

Sweet boy, you probably haven't noticed me round
But I've surely noticed you
Hardly know you but from what I do
I think I might be falling for you
Oh, I love your opinionated mind
And your deep eyes that seem to control my fate

Many look up to you
So behind the truth
I look for you
(Although you're unaware, yeah)
Many can't see through you
Want to unfold the truth
Oh, dig deep for you
(Dig deep for you)

So tightly wrapped in your own little world
And similarly in mineyou play such a part in my life
But yet I feel there's so much more to you
Oh, I love your shy-swept smile
And your lazy eye that's not opening up

Many look up to you
So behind the truthi look for you
(Although you're unaware, yeah)
Many can't see through you
Want to unfold the truth
Oh, dig deep for you
(Dig deep for you)

]Oh, do, do, do, do, do, do
Whoa, I'm so into you
Oh, yeah, I just wanna piece of you
And, oh, trying to get through to you
And I need you

Many look up to you
So behind the truthi look for you
Although you're unaware
Many can't see through you
Want to unfold the truth
Oh, dig deep for you
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa, yeah, yeahi,
I dig deep, yeah
Do, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, so, yeah
Dig deep for you

Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do

kimbra - settle down

I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down

We can settle at a table..
A table for two
Won't you wine and dine with me?
Settle down

I wanna raise a child
I wanna raise a child
Won't you raise a child with me...
Raise a child

We'll call her Nebraska
Nebraska Jones
She'll have your nose
Just so you know

I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down

Run from Angela Vickers
I saw her with you
Monday morning small talking on the avenue
She's got a fancy car
She wants to take you far
From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark

Star so light and star so bright
First star i see tonight!
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by side!

I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Baby there's no need to run
I'll love you well
I wanna settle down
It's time to bring you down
On just one knee for now
Lets make our vows

kimbra - good intent

You heard the crickets of the early eve
They lurk around the opening in two's & three's
Clementine told you not to move with the breeze
I'll take you down to places where we dare not speak

The red light in the doorway says she's armed
But boy go try your luck and you might get pass
Step into the dwelling of the liger's mouth
Peer into the panic for a kick and swell
You know you shouldn't be there but it's way past bed
There's comfort in the fingers of your good intent
You know you shouldn't be there but your money's all spent
You've got your reputation and your good intent
Your good intent

Out to feed that habit when you've sowed that seed
Nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
But the air turns sombre and the night took heed
Took you on a waltz of hypocrisy
She broke your bones, now you're lying in the dirt
The shadow of a hunter under your torture
It's not enough to say, it's not what's in your heart
You've tainted every moment till death do we part

I know you didn't mean it, boy you meant so well
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You're slipping through the fingers of your good intent

I know you didn't mean it, though you meant so well
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You got your reputation and your good intent
Such a good intent

It's not enough to hope for the best
It's not enough to lie there on a brace
The liger's on the prowl now you've pulled its strings
One false move and soon you're playing dice for a...

kimbra - old flame

Old flame, it's always the old way
When did it get so damn cold?
You're so seasonal
We flickered and swayed
Each time the winter soul came
I remember gold days
Under love's warm haze

Old flame, you're still the one that holds me
Can't you feel it burning?
Can't you feel it burning still?
Old flame, i fell for your inferno
Where did all the love go?
Can't you feel the wind blow you closer to me?

I went by your house today
When did you get so hollow?
So closed, so overgrown?
But i flicker and sway
Still dancing on the aftertaste
I remember gold days
Wrapped up in the warmth we made

Old flame, you're still the one that holds me
Can you feel it burning?
Can you feel it burning still?
Old flame, i fell for your inferno
Where did all the love go?
Can't you feel the wind blow?

Smoke skies, colors and cloud nines
Circles and straight lines and drowned eyes
(when there's something in the air)
From such heights, i fell into fahrenheit
And time only fuels the desire
(when there's something in the air)

It's always the old way
When did it get so damn cold?
You're so seasonal

Old flame, burning
Burning, burning still
Old flame, inferno
Where did all the love go?
