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
