Pole Vaulter (2024)












Hello, Mr. Right Next Door lyrics - Kris Allen

Hello, Mr. Right Next Door
Have you got some wisdom for
The rest of my life
I hope it's not too much to ask
Cos I don't have much to give back
Would that be alright?

Like all the doctors curing cancer
Searching for the right prescription
I'm hoping there's one answer
To a million different questions

I've seen you sit upon your chair
Painted pictures with each stare
Tell me everything
Did you fight in Vietnam?
Did you find you're not as strong
As you thought you'd be?

Like a bottle with a message
In a language I can't read
I'm drifting without reason
Least one that I can see

Hello, Mr. Right Next Door
Have you got some wisdom for
The rest of my days
Does the love we have run out?
Does she make your time here count
With your blood in her veins?

Do you remember every season
That has fallen from that tree
I think we're in a winter
And it's one that just won't leave

I'm sorry sir to carry on
Finally, found now that you're gone
The words to say
Not sure what I was looking for
Knocking on the cobwebbed door
Of a ghost, anyways

Then you whisper from your mountain
With your wider point of view
"Son, if you are searching
It's all that you can do"

Hello, Mister Right Next Door
Hello, Mister Right Next Door
(Goodbye)
Hello, Mister Right Next Door
Have you got some wisdom for the rest of my life

Guinevere lyrics - Kris Allen

What if I'm always late to the party
And what if I never sing like McCartney
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear
Oh Guinevere
Whenever you are here

What if the mirror isn't a liar
What if my future doesn't look brighter
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear
Oh Guinevere
Whenever you are here

Baby, don't you go because you don't know what it's like
(Know what it's like)
Whenever you're away all of these thoughts run through my mind
(Run through my mind)
And I'm not proud to say
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
No

What if I take a bite from the fruit tree
And why does the devil never feel sorry, yeah
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear
Oh Guinevere
Whenever you are here

Oh...

Baby, don't you go because you don't know what it's like
(Know what it's like)
Whenever you're away all of these thoughts run through my mind
(Run through my mind)
And I'm not proud to say
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
No

What if I'm always late to the party
And what if I never sing like McCartney
Just a couple of my fears
But they seem to disappear
Oh Guinevere
Whenever you are here
Oh Guinevere
Whenever you are here

Oh Guinevere
Don't you go
Don't you go
Don't you go

Oh...
(Oh) don't, don't, don't ya go

Hallelujah! For Now (Intro) lyrics - Kris Allen

Hallelujah
Hallelujah for now

Hallelujah! For Now lyrics - Kris Allen

Halla-la-la-la-la-la-lelujah, hallelujah for now
Halla-la-la-la-la-la-lelujah, hallelujah for now
Hallelujah for now

Collecting pages of evidence in every corner of your mind
Making sure you can disprove something no man can define
And I'd stand on my argument, God knows I've tried
But it's hard to get your footing on the surface of the wind, alright

So what am I supposed to do?
While I'm waiting for the nothingness to be proof
'Cause I swear somebody's listening
When I'm talking to the moon

So halla-la-la-la-la-la-lelujah, hallelujah for now
Halla-la-la-la-la-la-lelujah, hallelujah for now

All the answers turn into new questions in time
So I should
Make my peace with the fact that I'll probably die
I'll die

Collecting pages of evidence in every corner of my mind
Making sure that I can prove something no man can define
And I'll stand on my argument, God knows I'll try
But it's hard to get your footing on a mountain that is turned upside down

So what am I supposed to do?
I've been in sanctuaries that are just a room
But I caught a glimpse of heaven in Toronto
Listening to Clair de Lune

So halla-la-la-la-la-la-lelujah, hallelujah for now
Halla-la-la-la-la-la-lelujah, hallelujah for now
Oh, halla-la-la-la-la-la-lelujah, hallelujah for now
Oh, halla-la-la-la-la-la-lelujah, hallelujah for now
Halla-la-la-la-la-la-lelujah, hallelujah for now
Oh, Hallelujah for now

Indigo lyrics - Kris Allen

Woke up in yesterday's clothes
And if the calendar's frozen
I'm stuck in a day
I wish I could take
Out of my mind

You wore a dress without sleeves
Right where your heart used to be
So was it inside your purse
When you said those words
Over dinner last night

How was it so easy for you
To make me feel the deepest of blue
Fly me like a kite to the moon
And let me go
My Indigo

I bet you think I've moved on
'Cause we still talk when I'm in Boston
About the times that we had
With a smile and a laugh
But it still doesn't make sense

How it was so easy for you
To make me feel the deepest of blue
Fly me like a kite to the moon
And let me go
My Indigo

I've tried to blame you for
All of the tears I've cried
All my unsettled scores
All of my lonely nights
It's not your fault but I can't make it through
A day without wondering why

It was so easy for you
To make me feel the deepest of blue
I've never felt so cold on a night in June
When you let me go
My Indigo
My Indigo
Why won't you go

Too Good For Too Long lyrics - Kris Allen

I didn't mean it
I swear I didn't want to
But I said I didn't love you
And I love you

Do you believe me?
Shouldn't have to ask that question
How many times this gotta happen
Til your forgiveness turns to leaving

Now that the dust is clearing
I'm trying to figure it out

Cos every time we're too good for too long
I find a way to make it go wrong
Turning waterfalls into rust
And any time it's going our way
I can see the turn it shouldn't take
Don't know why I fuck with our love
Cos truth is all I want for us is to be
Too good for too long
Too good for too long

I should've seen it
Everything was going perfect
But living right below the surface
Was the feeling I don't deserve this

So maybe my momma was right
This is why we can't have anything nice

Cos every time we're too good for too long
I find a way to make it go wrong
Turning waterfalls into rust
And anytime it's going our way
I can see the turn it shouldn't take
Don't know why I fuck with our love
Cos the truth is all I want for us is to be
Too good for too long
Too good for too long

I don't wanna be right
I just wanna be yours
I don't wanna be right no more
I just wanna be yours and

Too good for too long
Too good for too long
I just wanna be
Too good for too long
Too good for too long

I didn't mean it
I swear I didn't want to
But I said I didn't love you
And I love you

More Than Ever lyrics - Kris Allen

Replaying memories with you inside of my head
Wondering if they might the best that we have
But then I see you lying next to me in bed
On my shoulder
And suddenly that thought is over

Cause I'm more me
And you're more you
We could be
Something new
I'm more me
And you're more you
I hope you see

That I want you now
Now more than ever, oh
I want you now
Now more than ever
More than ever

I know I've felt the burning of your sapphire flame
I know I've drowned with you in Costa Rican rain
I know I said the way I felt would never change

But I want you now
Now more than ever, oh
I want you now
Now more than ever
More than ever
I keep hearing that time
Is the enemy of love
But one look in your eye
Tells me not for us
Cos I want you now
Now more than ever
More than ever

Cos I'm more me
And you're more you
We could be something new
I'm more me
And you're more you
I hope you see

That I want you now
Now more than ever, oh
I want you now
Now more than ever
More than ever
I keep hearing that time
Is the enemy of love
But one look in your eye
Tells me not for us
Cos I want you now
Now more than ever
More than ever

I want you now more than ever
I want you now more than ever
I want you now, now

Swingin' On A Swing lyrics - Kris Allen

Swingin' on a swing
We are swingin' on a swing
We are swingin' on a swing
Oh yeah ahh
We are

Swingin' on a swing
We are swingin' on a swing
We are swingin' on a swing
Oh yeah ahh
We are

Swingin' on a swing
We are swingin' on a swing
We are swingin' on a swing
Oh yeah ahh
We are
Swingin' on a swing

Joaquin lyrics - Kris Allen

You got no reason to be scared
Of all those monsters in your head
They help you show us all how to dream
Up on the screen
Joaquin

Who put those worries on your mind
Who'd be so careless and unkind
What is the use in trying to swim downstream
If it just ain't your scene
Joaquin

I can see your light, your light, your light, your light
Is like a candle
Throwing shadows
Dancing as the wind blows
Seems to me you might, you might, you might, you might
Be on to something
That only heaven knows

Who is to say we're not all crazy
If I were you I wouldn't let it phase me
With all of your passion, hope, and empathy
Bursting your seams
Joaquin

I can see your light, your light, your light, your light
Is like a candle
Throwing shadows
Dancing as the wind blows
Seems to me you might, you might, you might, you might
Be on to something
That only heaven knows
Only heavens knows

I can see your light, your light, your light, your light
Is like a candle
Throwing shadows
Dancing as the wind blows
Seems to me you might, you might, you might, you might
Be on to something
That only heaven knows

Different Bridges, Same River lyrics - Kris Allen

Everybody wants a place to place the blame
'Cause who would wanna stand
And fall on their own sword
Everybody wants to play it face to face
Without a winning hand
That no one wants to fold

The water's deep on both sides
We need each other if we wanna get by
The water's deep on both sides
But we don't seem to mind

Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)

I know you have got a reason for the flame
That's burning in your mind
And keeping us apart
What if I told you mine's the same
Just a different kind of fire
A different kind of spark

The water's deep on both sides
We need each other if we wanna get by
The water's deep on both sides
But we've made up our minds

Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
I don't know

We keep waiting for the day somebody says their mind has changed
'Cause we would rather face the waves alone than see another way
Don't you call it warfare, cause we are getting nowhere
At least on that we can agree

Building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
Oh why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
(Different bridges, same river)
I don't know

Safe Harbor lyrics - Kris Allen

Some day you'll sail away
The winds will call your name
You'll finally hear the whispering
And I'll curse the moon at night
For pulling on the tide
That'll carry you from me

I'll wish I was dreaming
Ain't that the way it goes
But here's a secret
'Fore you push back from the shore

If you ever need to run for cover
You know exactly where to run
And if it's love you need to rediscover
Here in my heart there is enough
You can always come and lay down your armor
'Cause I am your safe harbor

Some day you'll sail away
Maybe to outer space
In search of all the reasons why
And I'm sure that while you're gone
I'll be reflecting on
Every time you asked for my foolish advice
Hoping I said the right thing once or twice

If you ever need to run for cover
You know exactly where to run
And if it's love you need to rediscover
Here in my heart there is enough
You can always come and lay down your armor
'Cause I am your safe harbor

My love is a fortress
My love is a fortress
My love is a fortress
My love is a fortress

Changing Together lyrics - Kris Allen

I don't know if I'm a gypsy but I can't seem
To stay in one place
And the memories upon your shelf
You've replaced 'em with something else
And the green that I have loved in my life
Has turned a different shade
And you're counting every crow in your eye
Wondering when they're gonna fly away

Honey you and I
We have change, change, changed
It's just the way it is
Nobody ever stays the same
You and I
We have change change changed
For worse or for better
But I love Changing Together

I used to have a dream of flying now I wonder
How I'd breathe in the sky
And your hips have made a way for our name
I kinda like 'em better this way
We ran into some old friends found we had
Nothing in common but the passing of time
Said goodbye and then we both laughed
Ain't it funny meeting up with your past sometimes

Honey you and I
We have change change changed
It's just the way it is
Nobody ever stays the same
You and I
We have change, change, changed

I'm not who you fell in love with
And you're not who I remember
But nobody can separate
This love that time has tethered
And on that day when life is over
Lay your body next to mine
Let the earth consume us both
So we can finally intertwine

Honey you and I we have change, change, changed
It's just the way it is can you tell me
Who would ever really wanna stay the same
You and I we have change, change, changed
For worse maybe better
But I love changing together

Don't Stop Dancing lyrics - Kris Allen

I know you feel it, I feel it too
In every eye, the weight of the way
They watch you while you move
Oh, Lord, they're watching you move
'Cause you got a rhythm ahead of the beat
And they'll try to change it, keep you in time
To bring you to your knees
But I just hope that you see

That these are the things I love

So don't stop, don't stop dancing
Whoa, don't stop, don't stop dancing
Oh no

You got a fire inside your soul
And they'll call it wild, sound the alarm
To turn it into smoke, but listen
Don't let that go

Still the light in every room
But when the darkness finds you

Don't stop, don't stop dancing
Oh, don't stop, don't stop dancing
Even when there is nobody left on the floor
Or when you can't hear the music anymore
Don't stop, don't stop dancing
Oh, don't stop dancing

These are the things I love
So my love

Don't stop, don't stop dancing

Don't stop, don't stop dancing
Oh, don't stop, don't stop dancing
Oh, even when there is nobody left on the floor
Or when you can't hear the music anymore
Don't stop, don't stop dancing, oh

Somebody's gonna come and try to bring you down
Put you in that place, straighten up your crown
Baby, honestly, it might even be me
But listen while you can, don't stop dancing

Pole Vaulter lyrics - Kris Allen

I'm a pole vaulter
Setting the bar too high
My feet are on the ground
But my heads up in the sky
I'm a pole vaulter
Wishing I could fly

When I wake up
I grab a cup of coffee and I take on
The heavy weight
Of everything all at once
And I let it hold me down
I can't stop running
Nobody's in my race so there's nothing wrong with
Going at my own pace
But when that ribbon breaks
I gotta see do I get a crown

My eyes are on the prize
So why do I feel so blind?

I'm a pole vaulter
Setting the bar too high
My feet are on the ground
But my heads up in the sky
I'm a pole vaulter
Wishing I could fly

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

I'm a pole vaulter
Setting the bar too high
My feet are on the ground
But my heads up in the sky
I'm a pole vaulter
Wishing I could fly
But without wings
All you got is one step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time
One step at a time

"Somethin' About Christmas" (2016)

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree lyrics - Kris Allen


Rocking around the Christmas Tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some carolling

You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear, voices singing
"Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly"

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way

You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear, voices singing
"Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly"

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way

Jingle Bells lyrics - Kris Allen (feat. Caroline Glaser)

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tail ring,
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Mmm, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago,
I thought I'd take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
Oh, the horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank,
And then we got upsot.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Ooh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
In a one horse open sleigh
In a one horse open sleigh

Here Comes Santa Claus lyrics - Kris Allen

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pullin' on the reins

Bells are ringin', children singin'
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus is coming tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
Oh what a beautiful sight
Jump in bed and cover your head
'Cause Santa Claus is coming tonight!

Santa knows we were Gods children
That makes everything alright
So fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa Claus is coming tonight!
He's coming tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Here he comes, here he comes
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Here he comes, here he comes

Winter Wonderland lyrics - Kris Allen (feat. Jillian Edwards)

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married?
We'll say no man
But you can do the job
When you're in town

Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
Plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

To face unafraid
Plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Mommy, Is There More Than Just One Santa Claus lyrics - Kris Allen

Mommy, is there more than just one Santa Claus?
'cause he shows up most everywhere we go
I swear that we just saw him in the shopping mall
But now here he is ringing this bell at the grocery store

I know you told me that his reindeer move at lightning speed
But how did his eyes turn from blue to brown?
And his sleigh might be magic but it don't make sense to me
How in twenty minutes flat did he lose thirty pounds?

Mommy, is there more than just one Santa Claus?
'cause he shows up most everywhere we go

I know you told me that his reindeer move at lightning speed
But how'd his nose get bigger just like that?
And his sleigh might be magic but it don't make sense to me
Tell me how on earth did his skin change from white to black?

Mommy, is there more than just one Santa Claus?
'cause he shows up most everywhere we go
I swear that we just saw him in the shopping mall
But now here he is ringing this bell at the grocery store

And that's because...
There must be more than just one Santa Claus!

Silent Night lyrics - Kris Allen

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

"Letting You In" (2016)



Love Will Find You lyrics - Kris Allen

It's not a puzzle you can solve
Not a code that you can crack
Not a twelve-step plan to help you understand
It's a mystery; that's a fact
And you don't get to choose
Right place or the right time
So listen up real close, cause all you need to know
Is let go and hold on tight

You're not gonna see it coming
Shows up like a thief at night
You're not gonna feel like running
But that's how you know it's right
You can't go looking for love
Cause love will find you, ooh
You can't go looking for love
Cause love will find you, yeah

You might meet him on the sidewalk
Might see her in the checkout line
A friend of a friend might introduce you
Next thing you know, you're eating sushi
Talking 'bout forever, growing old together
Wasn't it worth the wait?
Every single turn, and now you're gonna learn
Love was always on the way

You're not gonna see it coming
Shows up like a thief at night
You're not gonna feel like running
But that's how you know it's right
You can't go looking for love
Cause love will find you, ooh
You can't go looking for love
Cause love will find you, yeah

Everybody's acting like it's something you chase
But they keep running 'round in circles, never winning the race
Everybody's acting like it's something you chase
But they keep running 'round in circles, never winning the race
Everybody's acting like it's something you chase
But they keep running 'round in circles, never winning the race
Running 'round in circles, running 'round in circles
Running 'round in circles, never winning

You're not gonna see it coming
Shows up like a thief at night
You're not gonna feel like running
But that's how you know it's right
You can't go looking for love
Cause love will find you, ooh
You can't go looking for love
Cause love will find you, yeah
You can't go looking for love
(Cause love will find you) Ooh
You can't go looking for love
(Cause love will find you) Yeah

Time Will Come lyrics - Kris Allen

Staring back into her eyes
The mother to my only son
And hear the distant trains roll by
Feeling like I missed another one
She asked me if I lost my mind
Cause she can read me like a book
I said "if only days could happen twice"
"Then maybe I would know where to look"

Lately, I've been making friends with the doubts in my head
Hanging on every word that they said

I, I, I
I'm such a long way from where I
Long way from where I wanna be
I, I, I
I'm such a long way from where I
Long way from where I wanna be
But I'll keep on moving on
Cause I know my time will come

Look around and all I see
Is everyone else march alone (march alone, march alone)
Well, I'm here blaming gravity
For keeping me from where I belong

Lately, I've been making peace with the writings on the wall
Right now, even those don't make sense at all

But I, I, I
I'm such a long way from where I
Long way from where I wanna be
I, I, I
I'm such a long way from where I
Long way from where I wanna be
But I'll keep on moving on
Cause I know my time will come
Yeah, I know my time will come

Lately, I've been making friends with the doubts in my head
Hanging on every word that they said

But I, I, I
I'm such a long way from where I
Long way from where I wanna be
I, I, I
I'm such a long way from where I
Long way from where I wanna be
But I'll keep on moving on, mmm
Yeah, I'll keep on moving on, yeah
Yeah, I'll keep on moving on
Cause I know my time will come
Yeah, I know my time will come

So I'll keep moving on
Cause I know my time will come
So I'll keep moving on
Cause I know my time will come
So I'll keep moving on
Cause I know my time will come
So I'll keep moving on
Cause I know my time will come

Waves lyrics - Kris Allen

Pretty girl, got that look in her eyes
She might be trouble, but trouble's what you need sometimes
She can't hold back and she won't let go
Like a sinking ship that's keeping me afloat

Well, someone told me "watch out"
And another told me "run"
But I've always been a bullseye looking for a gun

But she is my hurricane
And I am her ocean
And we could make the biggest waves
Cause she makes me move; she moves me
Cause she makes me move; she moves me

A reckless heart and a dangerous mind
That combination, a beautiful disaster every time
And she makes me mad, but she, she makes me stronger
I guess that love's not always a sweet, sweet song

Well, someone told me "watch out"
And another told me "run"
But I've always been a bullseye looking for a loaded gun

But she is my hurricane
And I am her ocean
And we could make the biggest waves
Cause she makes me move; she moves me
Cause she makes me move; she moves me, yes

Well, someone told me "watch out"
And another told me "run"
And I don't know if this is what I need
But God, it's all I want

But she is my hurricane
And I, I am her ocean
And we could make the biggest waves
Cause she makes me move; she moves me
Cause she makes me move; she moves me
Cause she makes me move; she moves me

Faster Shoes lyrics - Kris Allen

Always looking for a reason to leave
Always finding something wrong with the season
Your heart has just been hiding from the truth
Like a circle always ready to spin
Got that green light go all over your skin
But the world is never gone, they'll cut you loose

No matter where you go or what you do
It's gonna be there waiting

You keep running away
You keep running away
You keep running away
You're gonna need some faster shoes
When you keep running away
You keep running away
You keep running away
You're gonna need some faster shoes
'Cause it's always gonna catch up to you

To turn the pages but the words stays the same
Rearranging all the furniture to cover the stain
Well that's not how you make it go away
Well the problem never changes

You keep running away
You keep running away
You keep running away
You're gonna need some faster shoes
When you keep running away
You keep running away
You keep running away
You're gonna need some faster shoes
'Cause it's always gonna catch up to you

You can keep spending your money on a one-way trip
But you're never gonna be able to outrun this

You keep running away
You keep running away
You keep running away
You're gonna need some faster shoes
When you keep running away
You keep running away
You keep running away
You're gonna need some faster shoes
'Cause it's always gonna catch up to you

If We Keep Doing Nothing lyrics - Kris Allen

The sun is set, the day is done
We laid to rest another one
A mother cries for her only son
Broken-hearted
We say a prayer, we start a fight
Don't know which to do tonight
'Cause either way, we end up right
Back where we started

No, we can't just look away
No, we can't just stay the same
No, we can't let tomorrow be another today
'Cause if we keep doing nothing
Then nothing will ever change

Well, I know you see it on the news
Asking which side are you gonna choose
Well, the game is real
So both sides lose
No one gets anywhere at all
And the house is burning to the ground
While all of us just stand around
A fight about what's bringing it down
Pointing fingers until it falls

No, we can't just look away
No, we can't just stay the same
No, we can't let tomorrow be another today
'Cause if we keep doing nothing
Then nothing will ever change

Something has got to be done
Before we lose another one

No, we can't just look away
No, we can't just stay the same
No, we can't let tomorrow be another today
'Cause if we keep doing nothing
Then nothing will ever change

Way Up High lyrics - Kris Allen

As the clouds go racing by and the stewardess brings my wine
There's a couple things that cross my mind today
Like how many swimming pools does it take to keep us cool?
And are we meant to rule the skies anyway?

Oh, has the world gone wild?
Oh, cause from here, it's a beautiful sight
Oh, hope that I'm on time
And I wish you were by my side
These are my thoughts from way up high

Is the middle-aged businessman making deals with his right hand
Or is he talking to his bride of fifteen years?
And as I get closer to God, is He falling more in love?
Or are all my sins becoming that much clearer?

Oh, has the world gone wild?
Oh, cause from here, it's a beautiful sight
Oh, hope that I'm on time
And I wish you were by my side
These are my thoughts from way up high

And I can't wait to land and forget the place that I have been
To make room for all the memories we will make
But for now, that thought will have to wait

If the pilots cannot see the state line boundaries
Then how do they know where to steer?
And my father did his best, and I'd say he was some success
Cause I'm the man he hopes he sees in the mirror

Oh, has the world gone wild?
Oh, cause from here, it's a beautiful sight
Oh, hope that I'm on time
And I wish you were by my side
These are my thoughts from way up high

Feeling This Way lyrics - Kris Allen

Some days I just feel like
I'm in the wrong place at the right time
And a long way to go to realize
I've been standing in the wrong line

Funny that you should ask how I'm doing
Cause today just seems like a fight
All the castles I made turned into ruins
Guess I built them too close to the tide

And it seems like every street light's turning red
And there's no right side of the bed
And this could all be in my head
But right now I'm wondering why why why

Some days I just feel like
I'm in the wrong place at the right time
And a long way to go to realize
I've been standing in the wrong line
Might not be okay, but I'm getting used to feeling this way
Might not be okay, but I'm getting used to feeling this way

I go right, maybe take a left
It doesn't matter, I move back with each step
I know you think that I'm crazy by now
But at least I know you know what I'm talking about

And it feels like there's a heartbeat in your chest
That doesn't line up with the rest
And this could all be in your head
But by now you're wondering why why why

Some days I just feel like
I'm in the wrong place at the right time
And a long way to go to realize
I've been standing in the wrong line
Might not be okay, but I'm getting used to feeling this way
Might not be okay, but I'm getting used to feeling this way

They say live for today, but I keep praying for tomorrow
And I'm all out of luck, so do you got some I can borrow?

Some days I just feel like
I'm in the wrong place at the right time
And a long way to go to realize
I've been standing in the wrong line
Might not be okay, but I'm getting used to feeling this way
Might not be okay, but I'm getting used to feeling this way

Letting You In lyrics - Kris Allen

Boarded up, sealed off, with a chair against the door
Deadbolt locked for each one that came before
And I set that chain forever in its place
Swore to myself I'd never make the same mistakes

And then you, you came to me
And in your hand's a skeleton key

Letting you in was the hardest thing I ever did
The raging war between my heart and head
The right one don't always win
Letting you in
I still thank God for that day
When you walked up and knew just what to say
To make me come unhinged
Letting you in

I still don't know what you saw in me
I was beat up, broken down, closed off from everything
But still you knocked and waited patiently
Until I found the strength to find an opening

Letting you in was the hardest thing I ever did
The raging war between my heart and head
The right one don't always win
Letting you in
I still thank God for that day
When you walked up and knew just what to say
To make me come unhinged
Letting you in

Then you, you came to me
And in your hand's a skeleton key

Letting you in was the hardest thing I ever did
The raging war between my heart and head
The right one don't always win
Letting you in
I still thank God for that day
When you walked up and knew just what to say
To make me come unhinged
Letting you in

Move lyrics - Kris Allen

I couldn't say I was paying attention when you were walking by
And if they asked me to pick you out of a line, I wouldn't get it right

Ooh, I was blind til you shook it up, shook it up
Yeah, I was fine til I fell in love, fell in love
I never would've seen you, baby
Til your song came blaring through the speakers, yeah

Ooh, it's not the dress on your body, your lipstick that got me
It's the way you move
Ooh, it's not the heels you were wearing that kept me staring
It's the way you move
Oh, it's the way you move

I'm not saying that you weren't amazing when you walked in the room
I'm just saying that I wasn't looking and now I'm thinking "what a fool"

Ooh, I was blind til you shook it up, shook it up
Yeah, I was fine til I fell in love, fell in love
I never would've seen you, baby
Til your song came blaring through your speakers and

Ooh, it's not the dress on your body, your lipstick that got me
It's the way you move
Ooh, it's not the heels you were wearing that kept me staring
It's the way you move
Yeah, it's the way you move

Don't ever stop, ever stop
Cause I can't get enough, get enough
Don't you ever stop, ever stop
Cause I can't get enough, get enough

Ooh, it's not the dress on your body, your lipstick that got me
It's the way you move
Ooh, it's not the heels you were wearing that kept me staring
It's the way you move
Ooh, it's not the dress on your body, your lipstick that got me
It's the way you move
Ooh, it's not the heels you were wearing that kept me staring
It's the way you move
Oh, it's the way you move

I Remember You lyrics - Kris Allen

November in Manhattan, the color of the leaves
The sound of subways passing underneath our feet
Sitting on the rooftop late on New Year's eve talking with our best friends
Making promises we won't keep

All these things you can recall and you ask if I can too
Well I don't remember everything but I remember you
My brother's graduation we never thought were come
How my dad was celebrating a little but too much

Or your little sister's wedding, speeches and champagne
The suit that I was wearing or the gift we never gave
All these things you can recall and you ask if I can too
Well I don't remember everything but I remember you

Cause like a spotlight, you got my attention burning so bright
Drowning out the details in my mind's eye
You are the only memory I keep coming back to

Someday I'll get older and darling, you will too
And I won't remember everything, but I'll remember you

"Horizons" (2014)



Young Love ("Paul Simon") lyrics - Kris Allen

I won't be the one that makes you question all your faith
And I won't be the one that turns a crooked smile straight
I will stand beside you until my days are done
It's funny how I knew what love was at so young

And it goes like
And it goes like

And I won't be the one that takes the wind out of your sail
And I won't be the one that tells you life is not a fairy tale
So tell me all your dreams and I'll make them come true
It's funny, living life the way that lovers do, oh yeah

And it goes like

Every little thing that you do makes me say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Every little thing that you do makes me say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Every little thing that you do makes me say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Every little thing that you do makes me say, yeah, yeah, yeah
[x2]

Sing yeah (yeah)
Sing yeah (yeah)
Sing yeah (yeah)
Sing yeah (yeah)
You make me wanna sing, yeah (yeah)
You make me wanna sing, yeah (yeah)
You make me wanna sing, yeah (yeah)
You make me wanna sing, yeah, yeah, yeah

Prove It To You lyrics - Kris Allen (feat. Lenachka)


Maybe I got used to your face,
Maybe we ran out of things to say
I heard a voice in the back of my head
Telling me don't you wanna come and taste it?!
Into the night, into the wild
Came like a hunger and I had to chase it

I know I had to let you go
but I found out that on my own
That you were always the one
I don't think I deserve you,
But I feel like I'm gonna love you
For all my life! No matter what I do!
Give me a chance, give me a chance
to prove it to you

You are the face in all my dreams
(Give me a chance, give me a chance)
All of the memories haunting me
I hear your voice in the back of my head
Sounding a lot like coming back
So I ran into your eyes, into the fight
What will you do if I do that?!

I know I had to let you go
but I found out that on my own
That you were always the one
I don't think I deserve you,
But I feel like I'm gonna love you
For all my life! No matter what I do!
Give me a chance, give me a chance
to prove it to you

Feel like I'm out here lost
Counting away the cost
So, will you give me a chance, give me a chance
I know I had to let you go
but I found out that on my own
You were always the one
I don't think I deserve you,
But I feel like I'm gonna love you
For all my life! No matter what I do!
Give me a chance, give me a chance
Oh, won't you give me a chance, give me a chance
to prove it to you?!

Beautiful & Wild lyrics - Kris Allen

I don't wanna be a poet
Cause poets drown in lakes
And I don't wanna be a sinner
And watch the devil dance at my wake
I just wanna be a dreamer
A dreamer that's wide awake
I just wanna be a lover
Even if my heart has to break

If only we could see the world
Through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl
Could just stay beautiful and wild
And there's probably no saving us
But I wrote this song to try
So let's sing la la la...

I don't wanna be president
Cause I don't know which side to take
And I don't wanna be a fortune teller
Cause that's just tempting fate
I just wanna be a drop of water
Fall down in a storm of rain
Live a life in the deep blue sea
And rise back up again

If only we could see the world
Through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl
Could just stay beautiful and wild
And there's probably no saving us
But I wrote this song to try
So let's sing la la la...

We've got the same desires,
Burning fires
In the middle of our souls
But all your gold and silver
Won't last forever
So... won't you let it go?
Cause we were born to be dreamers
Dreamers wide awake
And we were born to be lovers
Even if our hearts have to break

If only we could see the world
Through the new eyes of a child
If only every boy and girl
Could just stay beautiful and wild
And there's probably no saving us
But I wrote this song to try
So let's sing la la la...

So let's sing la la la...
So let's sing la la la...

In Time lyrics - Kris Allen

Seems like forever since I felt alive
My whole world was shaken in the blink of an eye
And everybody's got a word
That's gonna take away the hurt
And make everything alright
But give me just a little while
Cause in time

In time I'll run
And in time I'll heal
And in time these wounds will show me what's real
And in time I'll learn
And in time I'll trust
And in time we'll love what's been broken in us
In time

Give yourself some distance, and what do you find
That it's in the shadow places you first see the light
And I know there's a reason
But I just can't see it
At least not tonight
But give me just a little while
Cause in time

In time I'll run
And in time I'll heal
And in time these wounds will show me what's real
And in time I'll learn
And in time I'll trust
And in time we'll love what's been broken in us
In time

Wait, wait, for it now
Wait, wait, for it now
It's coming, it's coming
Wait, wait, for it now
Oh, won't you wait, wait, for it now

In time I'll run
And in time I'll heal
And in time these wounds will show me what's real
And in time I'll learn
And in time I'll trust
And in time we'll love what's been broken in us
In time
In time

Lost lyrics - Kris Allen

I want to thank you for all your help
Cause you're on to me, you're on to me I know
You tell me all the bad things I didn't know about myself
Yes, you're on to me, you're on to me I know

Maybe I'm lost
Maybe I'm lost
Well maybe I'm lost
But at least I'm looking
But at least I'm looking

I wish a cat would get your tongue
Cause you're on to me, you're on to me I know
You got your hands in your pocket
And you pull out your wallet with your two cents for everyone
Guess you're on to me, yeah, you're on to me I know

Maybe I'm lost
Maybe I'm lost
Well maybe I'm lost
But at least I'm looking

Maybe I'm lost
Oh, maybe I'm lost
Maybe you're lost
Cause you're not looking
Well at least I'm looking

Don't Set Me Free lyrics - Kris Allen

Didn't wanna complicate it,
I'm tired of playing games with you.
So I'm gonna come right out
And finally tell you how I feel about you

You're kind of crazy
But that's what I love about you

You're gonna kill me but I'll die with a smile
And you're gonna break me but you'll do it in style
So lock all the doors and throw away the key
Cause I am your prisoner but don't set me free
Well I am your prisoner but don't set me free

There's something in your eyes
That I've never, ever seen before
It's the sway in your walk and the vibe in your talk
And every little way that you're turning me on

You're kind of crazy
But that's what I love about you

You're gonna kill me but I'll die with a smile
And you're gonna break me but you'll do it in style
So lock all the doors and throw away the key
Cause I am your prisoner but don't set me free
Well I am your prisoner but don't set me free

Far as I can see, there's no way out
You have got my heart chained up no doubt
But I want it that way, I want it that way, oh yeah

You're kind of crazy
But that's what I love about you

You're gonna kill me but I'll die with a smile
And you're gonna break me but you'll do it in style
So lock all the doors and throw away the key
Cause I am your prisoner but don't set me free
Well I am your prisoner but don't set me free
I am your prisoner but don't set me free

Everybody Just Wants To Dance lyrics - Kris Allen

I wrote another love song,
And said I can feel the beat
You better get your move on
Lately, it's the economy,
That makes us close our minds
And wanna use our feet

Cause people all around the world, world
From Paris all the way to New York
They're screaming out

Everybody just wants to dance,
Everybody just wants to dance,
So come on brother and clap your hands,
Everybody just wants to dance.
Everybody just wants to dance,
Everybody just wants to dance,
So come on sister and clap your hands,
Everybody just wants to dance.

Lately, I've kinda noticed,
That I am really numb everywhere above my legs
So I give in to the movement,
Let's groove it, baby
Cause there's nothing left to say.

And people all around the world, world
From Kenya all the way to New York,
They're screaming out

Everybody just wants to dance,
Everybody just wants to dance,
So come on brother and clap your hands,
Everybody just wants to dance.
Everybody just wants to dance,
Everybody just wants to dance,
So come on sister and clap your hands,
Everybody just wants to dance.

Who says we need to slow it down
Can't you hear the sound...

Of people all around the world
From Little Rock all the way to New York,
They're screaming out

Everybody just wants to dance,
Everybody just wants to dance,
So come on brother and clap your hands,
Everybody just wants to dance.
Everybody just wants to dance,
Everybody just wants to dance,
So come on sister and clap your hands,
Everybody here says they wants to dance.

(Everybody just wants to dance...)
Come on brother, come on sister
Come on mother, come on mister
We gotta dance the night away
Come on brother, come on sister
Come on mother, come on mister
We gotta dance the night away

Parachute lyrics - Kris Allen

Come after me, I've been slipping through the cracks
I'm dug in deep, and nothing's making sense
You're the rope I grab a hold when I can barely reach

Ooh-oh, you've got me falling with a parachute
Saving me from black and blue
Ooh-oh, you've got me floating with a life vest
Both hands on my chest
You keep pounding 'til I can breathe, oh oh woah
Don't you ever give up on me

I've tried to hide it, I feel it in my bones
I've tried to fight it, yeah, and it's so hard to fight alone
But you're the net to catch my breath when I can't see the truth

Ooh-oh, you've got me falling with a parachute
Saving me from black and blue
Ooh-oh, you've got me floating with a life vest
Both hands on my chest
You keep pounding 'til I can breathe, oh oh woah
Don't you ever give up on me

Hit the ground running, running
Tell me that you're coming, coming
I can feel, I wanna feel your heartbeat next to me
[x3]

Ooh-oh, you've got me falling with a parachute
Saving me from black and blue
Ooh-oh, you've got me floating with a life vest
Both hands on my chest
You keep pounding 'til I can breathe, oh oh woah
Don't you ever give up on me, oh oh woah
You keep pounding 'til I can breathe, oh oh woah
Don't you ever give up on me

Come after me, cause I've been slipping through the cracks
I'm dug in deep, and nothing's making sense

It's Always You lyrics - Kris Allen

Wish I had another story to tell
Wish I could sing about anything else
But every time I sit down
The only thing that can write a melody and rhyme
Baby I can't lie
It's always you

I wish I could think about another pretty face
One that doesn't make feel this way
One that if she left me, it wouldn't be the death of me
I would be just be fine
But every time
It's always you

It's always you
Your name on the tip of my tongue
It's always you
You're my favorite place to run
And I always knew
My heart was yours to take
And never mine to give away
It's always you

So many reasons I could think to pack a bag
Catch a flight and never look back
So many places I could see but I'd always rather be
Just a breath away
The reason I stay
It's always you

It's always you
Your name on the tip of my tongue
It's always you
You're my favorite place to run
And I always knew
My heart was yours to take
And never mine to give away
It's always you
Oh yeah

It's always you
Your name on the tip of my tongue
And it's always you
Sure as the rising sun
And I always knew
My heart was yours to take
And never mine to give away
It's always you

Yeah baby, it's always you
Oh oh baby, it's always you

Girl Across The Room lyrics - Kris Allen

He's got everything I ever wanted
Cause all I ever wanted was you
He must have known what to say
Cause God knows I didn't know what to do
Thinking about checking myself into the institution
Cause I can't get you out of my mind
It's like I'm Leonardo and I'm painting Mona Lisa
But I can't even call her mine

He must have sent you flowers
He must have asked you to dance
From where I stood
He must have done all the things that a good man should

I never thought he was the one you'd end up with
Cause I thought you would end up with me
I guess I come from the school of love
Where the teacher says it comes for free
But did you know, I still remember when you smiled at me
For a big red coffee cup
And I realize we never talked but from what I saw
I thought that we fell in love

But he must have took you out
He must have held your hand
From where I stood
He must have done all the things that a good man should

Yesterday I saw your picture in the paper
Guess you finally went and took his last name, girl
So I'll keep swimming in my sea of fish
But there is always one thing I wish

I probably should have sent you flowers
I probably should have let you in
I probably should have told you, girl
That I love that dress you're wearing
From where I stood
He must have done all the things that a good man should

Baby, It Ain't Christmas Without You lyrics - Kris Allen

Snowflakes falling at my window
Just left Colorado, promise that I won't be late
I'm on my way!
Presents, baggin' in the backseats
If Santa could just take me to get them fast to home
And stay, but I'm on my way!

I just want to get back home,
Underneath the mistletoe,
Steal another kiss or two
Cause baby, it ain't Christmas without you!
Blankets by the fire place,
I can't wait to see your face
Singing carols out there too
Cause baby, it ain't Christmas without you!

Well the clock says I'll be there before Rudolf,
We'll be drinking too much eggnog,
Promise that I won't be late, I'm on my way!

I just want to get back home,
Underneath the mistletoe,
Steal another kiss or two
Cause baby, it ain't Christmas without you!
Blankets by the fire place,
I can't wait to see your face
Singing carols out there too
Cause baby, it ain't Christmas without you!

I just want to get back home,
Underneath the mistletoe,
Steal another kiss or two
Cause baby, it ain't Christmas without you!
Blankets by the fire place,
I can't wait to see your face
Singing carols out there too
Cause baby, it ain't Christmas without you!
[x2]

No, it ain't Christmas Christmas without you,
Christmas Christmas without you
No, it ain't baby!
No, it ain't Christmas Christmas without you,
Christmas Christmas without you
Oh, baby!

O Holy Night lyrics - Kris Allen

Oh, holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth

The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine

Oh, sweet hymns of pray in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all creation praise His holy name
Oh, fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine

Shut That Door lyrics - Kris Allen

Shut that door and keep that devil out
Shut that door and keep that devil out
Dude ain't got no business being 'round
So shut that door and keep that devil out
Tell all of your friends around this town
To shut that door and keep that devil out

I went down to Memphis
Memphis, Tennessee
Looking for some barbecue
With that devil chasing me
I ain't going down
There ain't no way I'm going down
Cause he may got the world all on his train
But he ain't getting me

Shut that door and keep that devil out
Shut that door and keep that devil out
Dude ain't got no business being 'round
So shut that door and keep that devil out
Tell all of your friends around this town
To shut that door and keep that devil out

I went down to New Orleans
Wearing Sunday best
Searching for some Jesus
Found a devil in that blue dress
I ain't going down
There ain't no way I'm going down
Cause he may got the world all on his train
But he ain't getting me

Do do do do do do do do do do...

Shut that door and keep that devil out
Shut that door and keep that devil out
Dude ain't got no business being 'round
So shut that door and keep that devil out
Tell all of your friends around this town
To shut that door and keep that devil out

Tell all of your friends around this town
To shut that door and keep that devil out

When All The Stars Have Died lyrics - Kris Allen

Have you ever known a love that's lived on after
A heart's last beat or a lung's last sigh
Well I think I found it
And I wonder what it means to say forever
'Cause my mind can only try to comprehend
There's no way around it
But I'll spend my days living to show her

When all the canyons have run dry
When all the birds have sung their songs
And all the blue has left the sky
I'll stop loving you
When all the stars have died

And I wonder will she know how I'm feeling
'Cause sometimes my words can only complicate it
What I want to show her
In every fire, I wanna be her rain
In all of the nights I wanna be her everlasting day
Again and again and again

When all the canyons have run dry
When all the birds have sung their songs
And all the blue has left the sky
I'll stop loving you
When all the stars have died

Well I hope that she knows
That my love doesn't go then I go
Well I hope that she knows
That my love doesn't go then I go
Well I hope that she knows
Oh, I hope that she knows

That when all the canyons have run dry
When all the birds have sung their songs
And all the blue has left the sky
And when the sun's forgotten how to shine
And gravity has lost its hold
And when all the blue has left the sky
I'll stop loving you
I'll stop loving her
When all the stars have died

Live Like We're Dying lyrics - kris allen

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough
Till it's to late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
And we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you,
What would you wish you would've done

Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye
Should be so careful who we live out our lives
So when we long for absolution,
There'll no one on the line, yeah

Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

You never know a good thing till it's gone
You never see a crash till it's head on
Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong
You never know a good thing till it's gone

Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell them that we love them
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying..

Before We Come Undone lyrics - kris allen

You could break this silence with
Words we wish we'd never said
But I can hear it like a scream
What's become of you and me?
Are we still inside this night
Or am I going crazy?

I'm just trying to understand
Who I was, who I am
But you are changing just the same
So can you tell me who's to blame
Could we put our weapons down
Just to figure this out?

Now, pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one
Before we come, before we come undone

If you say that it's too late
Those are words my heart can't take
And this night is out to kill
And we let it, it will
Could we both forgive somehow
Cause I'm not letting you down

Now, pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one (I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Watch out, here we go
There's no turning back you know
We can't keep going round and round
And round and round

So now pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one (I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one (I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Cause I know we can make it before
Make it before we come undone

Can't Stay Away lyrics - kris allen

I see you girl walking over here
Can't look away
I see you left a trail of broken hearts
On your way to me
I've tried to not let it show
But I know that you know, yeah

You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you

(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)

There's something about the way
You make me feel
I'm ready to confess
That you take my heart
And baby, I'm a mess
I'm done trying to deny
That without you I'll be alright

You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you

(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)

24 hours a day ain't nearly enough, no way
To get to know you from head to toe
You know how to captivate
Please baby, don't make me wait
I'm at your door, I need more
More, more, more, more, ohhh

You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you

(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay away from you, ohhh
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)

The Truth lyrics - kris allen

Lying next to you
Wishing I could disappear
Let you fall asleep
And vanish out into thin air

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it

Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth

I still keep your photographs
I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losing sleep
If you're okay with being torn in half

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it

Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth

Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning
And let the rain come in
Stop pretending that it's not ending
And let the end begin, oh yeah...

Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
It's easier than telling the truth

Written All Over My Face lyrics - kris allen

I always played you songs
To say what I never could
Other people say it better
Say it better than I would
But for every word left unsaid
I thought you understood

It was easier to kiss you
Than to tell you how I feel
Oh and I don't want to lose you
But you can't see that through your tears
You're saying that I hurt you
But I had no idea...

(I'm doing my best to make it
But you don't believe
Believe that I am)

Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Singing I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than to spell it out
There's no doubt
When it's written all over my face

What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we can talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?

You're not one of my boys
You can't get inside my mind
I'm not one of your girlfriends
Who's gonna see it from your side
What you lay on the table
Well I choose to keep inside

(I'm doing my best to make it
But you don't believe
Believe that I am)

Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Singing I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than to spell it out
There's no doubt
When it's written all over my face

What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we can talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?
When it's written all over my face
When it's written all over my face
When it's written all over my face

There's nothing wrong but communication
It's just a problem of our own creation
Sometimes love gets lost in translation

What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we could talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?
All over my face
All over my face
When it's written all over my face
All over my face

There's nothing wrong but communication
It's just a problem of our own creation
Sometimes love gets lost in translation...

Bring It Back lyrics - kris alllen

Unspoken, in silence
Let's stay here tonight
There's no reason to ask me
Cause you know what's inside

Don't worry now
Seasons will change
Forgive my mouth
For not letting you walk away

Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me

At sundown on the freeway
Is no place for goodbyes
Don't worry now
Seasons will change
Forgive my mouth
For not letting you walk away

Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me

I've got a different ending to our story
I know it's hard for you to hear it through
But listen as I read

Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me

Red Guitar lyrics - kris allen

It may not be the best one
It may not be like the rest of 'em
But she makes it sound so sweet
The melodies she makes it's saying

On her red guitar
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
It's been through hell

Oh, the sound it makes
It takes me to some higher place
She doesn't have a clue
Oh, that I love to listen to...

Her red guitar, yeah
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
Of her red guitar

She plays it soft, so only I can hear
The same old song
That she played last year
And it may not have all the strings
Oh, but she strums it beautifully

On her red guitar, yeah
Her red guitar, yeah
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
Of her red guitar, of her red guitar

Is It Over lyrics - kris allen

This time you say it's for good
You've played kind
For as long as you could
With your head in hands
And your tears on my chest
I think to myself, I'm not giving up yet

And I say, is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care or are you already gone?

So take your time
As you're headed for the door
Cause I might find
The right words to say
If you give me a second more
I'm no good at goodbyes
And my pride's here to see
That I won't let you go
As you walk out on me

And I say, is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care, or are you already gone?

I wish I could make you stay,
Just like you should
So take this love, before you go
And if it's all that I am, let me ask you again
Cause I need to be sure
Is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
If I crawl on my knees, would you come back to me?
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care, or are you already gone?
Would you care, or are you already gone?

Let It Rain lyrics - kris allen

So many things are trying to keep me
And so many voices trying to reach me
To tell me that this is not the way
To tell me that this is my mistake

Oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain

I know that this is not the way
That you imagined it would be
Oh, but nothing you say is gonna stop me
No matter the weather that you bring

Oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain

So many things are trying to keep me
So many voices trying to reach me

So oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
So many things are trying to keep me...

Alright With Me lyrics - kris allen

I'm a little pawn still in your game
And you ignore my advances
I turn my head and I look away
But I can't control my eyes are on you

Oh, you're on the run and I'm chasing you
Feels like war with all your glances
I'm just a boy without a clue
And I can't control following you

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

I know you better than you know
You can fight but it's not over
I say to stop but you start to go
I guess that means it's L-O-V-E

I say to look but you turn away
I say we put our best foot forward
Will you believe, come next to me
Oh, why can't you see, I'm begging you, please

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

(Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)

And I'm knocking on your door
Baby baby, please now
Falling on your floor
Baby baby, please
I keep knocking on your door
Baby, baby, please now
Falling on your floor
Baby baby, please

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

Lifetime lyrics - kris allen

I wake up, put my poker face on
It's roughly the same hand
I was dealt yesterday
I stand up and stare out at the skyline
It's roughly the same town
That I saw yesterday

Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

I wake up and bandage these scars
The scars of my heart
That prove that I'm still alive
That I'm still alive
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right

Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be
The man I thought I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

I Need To Know lyrics - kris allen

Life's been blinding me
From what I thought I'd see
Is there clarity in this insanity? (yeah)
What's she want from me? (yeah)

Roads in front of me
Taking me astray
Are you leaving me?
Or are you leading the way?
Can you hear what I'm saying?

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know

Feel like I'm trying to breathe under water
Trying to climb but I keep falling farther
Will you take my hand?

Feels so far away
I want to see your face
Are you even there?
Can you show me?
Can you make me believe?

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know

Heartless lyrics - kris allen

In the night
I hear 'em talk
Coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless

How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You know need to watch the way you talkin' to me you know
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless

How could be so Dr. Evil
You're bringin' out a side of me that I dont know
I decided we weren't gon' speak so
Why we up 3 A.M. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me fo'
Homie I dont know she's hot and cold
I won't stop I won't mess my groove up
'Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than
Me

'Cause in the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless

Talk and talk and talk and talk
Baby let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight
Into the night

In the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far far far he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless
Oh

'Cause in the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless

Send Me All Your Angels lyrics - kris allen

What am I gonna do tonight
When I’m one step closer to the other side
It’s easy to pretend
Tryin' hard not to fade away
But the world’s got me feeling so out of place
How will all this end?
It’s so hard to say

Send me all your angels tonight
I’m barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now

Everyday, gotta face the fact that
I’m trying to reason with the demons on my back
And I’m hoping to hold on
Don’t wanna make friends tonight
With the faces, with the faces
Not this time
When will all this end?
Just give me a sign

Send me all your angels tonight
I’m barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now

Better days are sure to come
I don’t wanna come undone
So show me what I’m living for, yeah

Send me all your angels tonight
I’m barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now
Send me all your angels now
Send me all your angels, now
Oh, ooh

What am I gonna do tonight
When I’m one step closer to the other side

From The Ashes lyrics - kris allen

I hate it when the light goes from your eyes
And there's nothing I can say to make it better
If it's true love that's keeping us alive
Could we find a way to fight this war together?

Time falls like sand
Watch it fallin'
Right through our hands

[Chorus:]
Could we be most afraid of what will save us
Breakdown to find out what we're really made of
If we're standing on the edge
Hold on when it crashes
Could we rise up from the ashes

It's crazy after everything we've planned
How it feels like we are never gonna get there
Standing on the bridge, watching it burn
No more yesterday tomorrow's all that matters

Time falls like sand
Watch it fallin'
Right through our hands, yeah

[Chorus]

You just said you lost your way
Like you've forgotten how to dream awake
But I know you (I know you)
But I know you

And I know you
Don't be scared, just close your eyes
We don't ever have to say goodbye
Well it's alright, it's alright

[Chorus]

Ain't No Sunshine (originally by Bill Withers) lyrics - kris allen

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Well, ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

I know, I know, I know, well, I know
I know, I know, I know, well, I know
I know, I know, I know, well, I know

I ought to leave the young thing alone
'Cause ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Anytime she goes away
Cause ain't no sunshine when she's gone
