Forever Mine lyrics - Andra Day
My heart has been a chessboard
Making moves and losing out
Played so many times before
And there ain’t nothing to brag about
But this must be a new brew
When you’re gone I’m singing Blue Moon
You turn me all the way around
And I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, be
Forever mine (Be forever mine)
Be forever mine (Be forever mine)
Oh and there’s nothing I can sing now
That ain’t been sung before
Oh but your love is a standout
So go on ahead and take the floor
You had to Jimi my heart loose
Now I’m stuck in your voodoo
Pick me up, don’t ever put me down
Look I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, to be
Forever mine (be forever mine)
I want you to be forever mine (be forever mine)
The way that you move, never seen it before
Looking for my head, can’t find it no more
You ransom my heart and I get the reward
Winning the crown like a Trojan horse
I come back, back, back every time
You got me shook like the Mobb when they rhyme
Come out of nowhere come blessing my life
I just want you to be forever mine, oh oh
(Be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)
But you was cooking up a new stew
Must have put something in my food
’Cause now I’m lost up in the clouds
Oh and I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, be, be
Forever mine (be forever mine)
Oh you gotta be, be forever mine (be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)
Making moves and losing out
Played so many times before
And there ain’t nothing to brag about
But this must be a new brew
When you’re gone I’m singing Blue Moon
You turn me all the way around
And I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, be
Forever mine (Be forever mine)
Be forever mine (Be forever mine)
Oh and there’s nothing I can sing now
That ain’t been sung before
Oh but your love is a standout
So go on ahead and take the floor
You had to Jimi my heart loose
Now I’m stuck in your voodoo
Pick me up, don’t ever put me down
Look I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, to be
Forever mine (be forever mine)
I want you to be forever mine (be forever mine)
The way that you move, never seen it before
Looking for my head, can’t find it no more
You ransom my heart and I get the reward
Winning the crown like a Trojan horse
I come back, back, back every time
You got me shook like the Mobb when they rhyme
Come out of nowhere come blessing my life
I just want you to be forever mine, oh oh
(Be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)
But you was cooking up a new stew
Must have put something in my food
’Cause now I’m lost up in the clouds
Oh and I’m tired of the fine line
I just want you to be, be, be
Forever mine (be forever mine)
Oh you gotta be, be forever mine (be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)
(Be forever mine)
Only Love lyrics - Andra Day
So I've learned a lot of things in the past year or two
Like there's different types of love that I should know about
So my question is this
What kind of love is it
That can leave me all alone in some bar
With just a six point sweetly laughing at my foolish heart
Only love can break your heart
Like poisonous darts
Wu you apart
And if it's all the same to you this kind of love
It taught me an ugly truth, I was guilty of
So my question still remains
What kind of love again
Can leave him all alone in his car
With just the radio blastin'
Singing to his foolish heart
Only love can break your heart
Like poisonous darts
Wu you apart
Then only love
Can save the day
So unexplained
So what do you say
As if a poor man's spin is what I got and gave
To my dismay
Could this have really been love
Long as we're talking
Is one real or fake
Like a silly game
I think we've all had enough
It's left us all alone in the dark
Asking all of these questions
About all our foolish hearts
Only love can break your heart
Wu you apart
Oh yeah
Only love can break your heart
Like poisonous darts
Can wu you apart
Then only love
Can save the day
So unexplained
So what do you say
Only love
Like there's different types of love that I should know about
So my question is this
What kind of love is it
That can leave me all alone in some bar
With just a six point sweetly laughing at my foolish heart
Only love can break your heart
Like poisonous darts
Wu you apart
And if it's all the same to you this kind of love
It taught me an ugly truth, I was guilty of
So my question still remains
What kind of love again
Can leave him all alone in his car
With just the radio blastin'
Singing to his foolish heart
Only love can break your heart
Like poisonous darts
Wu you apart
Then only love
Can save the day
So unexplained
So what do you say
As if a poor man's spin is what I got and gave
To my dismay
Could this have really been love
Long as we're talking
Is one real or fake
Like a silly game
I think we've all had enough
It's left us all alone in the dark
Asking all of these questions
About all our foolish hearts
Only love can break your heart
Wu you apart
Oh yeah
Only love can break your heart
Like poisonous darts
Can wu you apart
Then only love
Can save the day
So unexplained
So what do you say
Only love
Gold lyrics - Andra Day
He don't know I call him the teacher
He had hard lessons for the kid
I get up, put you through hell
He put me under the same spell
He lied, man, he stressed me out
You loved me like a precious gift
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
You would tell me your heart aches,
Now I understand the pain
Oh, why did I let you drown
Baby, would you believe, that I've been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
You had no problems with commitment
Like a king is loyal to what's his
You looked for a ring to fit
While I played wifey with a kid
Oh, the irony makes me sick
He tried to make me look crazy
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
I laugh when I think about his face
When truth nearly spilled out
He looked like me, I get that now
But, baby, would you believe that I've been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Ah, ah, ah, ah
But, baby, would you believe that I've been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
He had hard lessons for the kid
I get up, put you through hell
He put me under the same spell
He lied, man, he stressed me out
You loved me like a precious gift
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
You would tell me your heart aches,
Now I understand the pain
Oh, why did I let you drown
Baby, would you believe, that I've been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
You had no problems with commitment
Like a king is loyal to what's his
You looked for a ring to fit
While I played wifey with a kid
Oh, the irony makes me sick
He tried to make me look crazy

Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Ah, ah, ah, ah
But, baby, would you believe that I've been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now it's real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin' through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Not Today lyrics - Andra Day
Rise to her knees in the morning again
Giving herself to the sky
Searching for answers to all her regrets
Wondering, should she even try
But the hope it shines like pearls in her eyes
She asks are you giving up on me
Not today, not today
Cause love isn’t through with what it started here yet
Not today, not today
If love isn’t done, then why should we give up on it
So ask me tomorrow, I’ll tell you the same
Tomorrow is not today
His tired eyes watching all that he’s built
Crumbling down to the ground
Perfection is cracked and the dream starts to wilt
Sure that he’s failed her now
But the hope shines like pearls in his eyes
when he asks her are you giving in
Not today, not today
Cause love isn’t through with what it started here yet
Not today, not not today
If love isn’t done, then why should we give up on it
So ask me tomorrow, I’ll tell you the same
Tomorrow is not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Giving herself to the sky
Searching for answers to all her regrets
Wondering, should she even try
But the hope it shines like pearls in her eyes
She asks are you giving up on me
Not today, not today
Cause love isn’t through with what it started here yet
Not today, not today
If love isn’t done, then why should we give up on it
So ask me tomorrow, I’ll tell you the same
Tomorrow is not today
His tired eyes watching all that he’s built
Crumbling down to the ground
Perfection is cracked and the dream starts to wilt
Sure that he’s failed her now
But the hope shines like pearls in his eyes
when he asks her are you giving in
Not today, not today
Cause love isn’t through with what it started here yet
Not today, not not today
If love isn’t done, then why should we give up on it
So ask me tomorrow, I’ll tell you the same
Tomorrow is not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Mistakes lyrics - Andra Day
Had to try the yellow grass
I'm so glad you took me back
Cuz only you can make me so great again
In the ring I'm losing ground
Knock me out I hear em count
But you put me on my feet and push me to win
And like a broken half a charm it don't feel right
When we are apart we make the light
And I promise I won't mess it up this time
Please don't let me make the same mistakes yea
Mistakes yea, mistakes
Break the line and end it in a train wreck
A train wreck, like always
Lost in space it's dark and cold
A billion stars but I'm alone
But your gravity helped me to descend
Treading and to tired to move
Drowning in the lake then you
Throw your line and reel me back in again
And like a broken half a charm it don't feel right
When we are apart we make the light
And I promise I won't mess it up this time
Please don't let me make the same mistakes yea
Mistakes yea, mistakes
Break the line and end it in a train wreck
A train wreck, like always
We finally made it through our darkest storm
Darkest night, baby
And I don't wanna make the same mistakes yea, mistakes
Mistakes
I made, me back, again, again
I made, me back, again, again
Cuz I don't want to make the same mistakes
Oh, oh, oh
Like when the train hit the tracks baby
And we broke down
We finally made it through our darkest storm
Darkest night, baby
And I don't want to make the same mistake yea, mistakes yea
Mistakes
The mistakes I made wont hold me back again
The mistakes I made wont hold me back again
Same mistakes yeah yeah yeah
I'm so glad you took me back
Cuz only you can make me so great again
In the ring I'm losing ground
Knock me out I hear em count
But you put me on my feet and push me to win
And like a broken half a charm it don't feel right
When we are apart we make the light
And I promise I won't mess it up this time
Please don't let me make the same mistakes yea
Mistakes yea, mistakes
Break the line and end it in a train wreck
A train wreck, like always
Lost in space it's dark and cold
A billion stars but I'm alone
But your gravity helped me to descend
Treading and to tired to move
Drowning in the lake then you
Throw your line and reel me back in again
And like a broken half a charm it don't feel right
When we are apart we make the light
And I promise I won't mess it up this time
Please don't let me make the same mistakes yea
Mistakes yea, mistakes
Break the line and end it in a train wreck
A train wreck, like always
We finally made it through our darkest storm
Darkest night, baby
And I don't wanna make the same mistakes yea, mistakes
Mistakes
I made, me back, again, again
I made, me back, again, again
Cuz I don't want to make the same mistakes

Darkest night, baby
And I don't want to make the same mistake yea, mistakes yea
Mistakes
The mistakes I made wont hold me back again
The mistakes I made wont hold me back again
Same mistakes yeah yeah yeah
Goodbye Goodnight lyrics - Andra Day
I never thought you and me wouldn't last
And I never thought time would pass us
Cuz all of our lives, all of our lives it's been
Me and you (me and you),
me and you (me and you),
me and you (you, goodbye)
Goodbye, goodnight my love
(We tried)
We tried, is it time to give up
Oh we know (we know, we know) our seasons done
(Passion)
Passion served its’ time with us
(Served its time)
Served its’ time with us
Goodbye goodnight my love
Be well, farewell my love
Goodbye, goodnight my love
And I truly hate to say it
but these feelings ain't coming back
Time played a cruel joke on us
It told us that
Love would grow (it would grow),
love would grow (it would grow),
love would grow (grow, goodbye)
Goodbye, goodnight my love
(We tried)
We tried, is it time to give up
Oh we know (we know, we know) our seasons done
(Passion)
Passion served its’ time with us
(Served its time)
Served its’ time with us
Goodbye goodnight my love
Be well, farewell my love
Goodbye, goodnight my love
Don't want to assume, don't know what to do
Forever's so long, I could be wrong
I can't really say, there may come a day
When we know we both had it all [x3]
And I never thought time would pass us
Cuz all of our lives, all of our lives it's been
Me and you (me and you),
me and you (me and you),
me and you (you, goodbye)
Goodbye, goodnight my love
(We tried)
We tried, is it time to give up
Oh we know (we know, we know) our seasons done
(Passion)
Passion served its’ time with us
(Served its time)
Served its’ time with us
Goodbye goodnight my love
Be well, farewell my love
Goodbye, goodnight my love
And I truly hate to say it
but these feelings ain't coming back
Time played a cruel joke on us
It told us that
Love would grow (it would grow),
love would grow (it would grow),
love would grow (grow, goodbye)
Goodbye, goodnight my love
(We tried)
We tried, is it time to give up
Oh we know (we know, we know) our seasons done
(Passion)
Passion served its’ time with us
(Served its time)
Served its’ time with us
Goodbye goodnight my love
Be well, farewell my love
Goodbye, goodnight my love
Don't want to assume, don't know what to do
Forever's so long, I could be wrong
I can't really say, there may come a day
When we know we both had it all [x3]
Rearview lyrics - Andra Day
It's easy in the day but harder in the night
I thought I felt the pain but hadn't fought this fight
You woke up next to me and then we said goodbye
And now it's settled in that something wasn't right
Oh, but we're a long way, long way from there
And it's a cold case, a cold case to bear
Now I can only see you in my rear view
So where did you go, where did you go
I ruined our sweet tune
But how could I know, how could I know
Once we were two dancing souls
Now all that's left is skulls and bones
But I can only see my future
In my rearview
And don't we owe us more from all that in the past
We knew before them all that what we had would last
Stayed up for days so long and all into the night
Our final morning dawned and you had taken flight
Oh but we're a long way, long way from there
And it's a cold case, a cold case to bear...
Now I can only see you in my rear view
So where did you go, where did you go
I ruined our sweet tune
But how could I know, how could I know
Once we were two dancing souls
Now all that's left is skulls and bones
But I can only see my future
I can still see my future
In my rearview
I thought I felt the pain but hadn't fought this fight
You woke up next to me and then we said goodbye
And now it's settled in that something wasn't right
Oh, but we're a long way, long way from there
And it's a cold case, a cold case to bear
Now I can only see you in my rear view
So where did you go, where did you go
I ruined our sweet tune
But how could I know, how could I know
Once we were two dancing souls
Now all that's left is skulls and bones
But I can only see my future
In my rearview
And don't we owe us more from all that in the past
We knew before them all that what we had would last
Stayed up for days so long and all into the night
Our final morning dawned and you had taken flight
Oh but we're a long way, long way from there
And it's a cold case, a cold case to bear...
Now I can only see you in my rear view
So where did you go, where did you go
I ruined our sweet tune
But how could I know, how could I know
Once we were two dancing souls
Now all that's left is skulls and bones
But I can only see my future
I can still see my future
In my rearview
Red Flags lyrics - Andra Day
I stood outside for hours thinking why
But you meant no harm you say
Salty tears burned my face last night
But you meant no harm you say
It was always me waiting on you
What a cruel guessing game
You meant no harm you say
Now my soul drags behind my feet
But I'll be fine I guess
You meant no harm you say
Still running it back in my mind
Trying to see why I was so bloody blind
So blind
I should've known that I'd lose everything
I should've known red flags were warning me
I couldn't see all that when the room was pitch black
'Til you'd come and go
You'd come and go
I spend my time with photos from back when
But you meant no harm you say
I give your lies five stars what a display
'Cause you meant no harm you say
The truth was never a good friend of yours or mine I guess
And still no harm you say
A pastoral scene shattered to oblivion
You meant no harm you say
Still running it back in my mind
Trying to see why I was so bloody blind
So blind
I should've known that I'd lose everything
I should've known red flags were warning me
I couldn't see all that 'cause the room was pitch black
Are good intentions all you really have left for me
Can they cover the hole you left here in my heart
Oh, oh, well, what more can I say
I should've known that I'd lose everything
I should've known red flags were warning me
I couldn't see all that 'cause the room was pitch black, the room was pitch black
You'd come and gone
You'd come and gone
I should've known that you'd take everything
I should've known to kiss my heart away
I should've known red flags were warning me
You'd come and gone
But you meant no harm you say
Salty tears burned my face last night
But you meant no harm you say
It was always me waiting on you
What a cruel guessing game
You meant no harm you say
Now my soul drags behind my feet
But I'll be fine I guess
You meant no harm you say
Still running it back in my mind
Trying to see why I was so bloody blind
So blind
I should've known that I'd lose everything
I should've known red flags were warning me
I couldn't see all that when the room was pitch black
'Til you'd come and go
You'd come and go
I spend my time with photos from back when
But you meant no harm you say
I give your lies five stars what a display
'Cause you meant no harm you say
The truth was never a good friend of yours or mine I guess
And still no harm you say
A pastoral scene shattered to oblivion
You meant no harm you say
Still running it back in my mind
Trying to see why I was so bloody blind
So blind
I should've known that I'd lose everything
I should've known red flags were warning me
I couldn't see all that 'cause the room was pitch black
Are good intentions all you really have left for me
Can they cover the hole you left here in my heart
Oh, oh, well, what more can I say
I should've known that I'd lose everything
I should've known red flags were warning me
I couldn't see all that 'cause the room was pitch black, the room was pitch black
You'd come and gone
You'd come and gone
I should've known that you'd take everything
I should've known to kiss my heart away
I should've known red flags were warning me
You'd come and gone
Honey Or Fire lyrics - Andra Day
You drew this line
But can't pick a side
Is it on, is it over
Are you in, are you out
Make up your mind
So I can keep mine
Is it on, is it over
Are you in, are you out
You're in the wind just like a palm tree in a storm
But I'll be the only one to break and fall
When you call oh
So give me honey
Give me fire
Give me honey
Or give me fire
You love me you say
And then run away
Are we coming or going
is it on, is it off
Or call everyday
Then say you need space
Are we coming or going
Is it on is off
You're in the wind just like, a palm tree in a storm
But I'll be the only one to break and fall
When you call oh, oh
Give me honey, give me fire
Love me wholly, or let me fly
Hot or cold, no just right
So give me honey or give me fire
Cause you ain't no good when you're, you're just luke warm
And I'm closing this bar
So make your last call
We can have everything, or nothing at all
Give me honey, give me fire
Give me honey, or give me fire
Give me honey, give me fire
Love me wholly, or let me fly
Hot or cold, no just right
Love me wholly, or let me fly
Cuz you ain’t no good, no you ain’t no good oh no
So give me honey or give me fire
Oh cuz you ain’t no good when you’re, you’re just luke warm
But can't pick a side
Is it on, is it over
Are you in, are you out
Make up your mind
So I can keep mine
Is it on, is it over
Are you in, are you out
You're in the wind just like a palm tree in a storm
But I'll be the only one to break and fall
When you call oh
So give me honey
Give me fire
Give me honey
Or give me fire
You love me you say
And then run away
Are we coming or going
is it on, is it off
Or call everyday
Then say you need space
Are we coming or going
Is it on is off
You're in the wind just like, a palm tree in a storm
But I'll be the only one to break and fall
When you call oh, oh
Give me honey, give me fire
Love me wholly, or let me fly
Hot or cold, no just right
So give me honey or give me fire
Cause you ain't no good when you're, you're just luke warm
And I'm closing this bar
So make your last call
We can have everything, or nothing at all
Give me honey, give me fire
Give me honey, or give me fire
Give me honey, give me fire
Love me wholly, or let me fly
Hot or cold, no just right
Love me wholly, or let me fly
Cuz you ain’t no good, no you ain’t no good oh no
So give me honey or give me fire
Oh cuz you ain’t no good when you’re, you’re just luke warm
Gin & Juice (Let Go My Hand) lyrics - Andra Day
Just me and my toy
And some gin and juice
A little gift for myself that I bought
For years of scraping behind you
It wasn't so bad though
You know I can say I learned a lot
Maybe better me than you though
But still why did I get caught
Don't hold my hand boy
Don't hold my hand
Let go my hand boy
Don't hold my hand
In my ear I hear you whisper low
(Let it go, let it go)
Trying your best to excite me
(Move along, move along)
'Cause you know you must leave me
More than one or two fiery nights we broke out
So many times I ended up on
On the pavement
But now I'm crying out
Don't hold my hand boy
Don't hold my hand
Let go my hand boy
Don't hold my hand
And some gin and juice
A little gift for myself that I bought
For years of scraping behind you
It wasn't so bad though
You know I can say I learned a lot
Maybe better me than you though
But still why did I get caught
Don't hold my hand boy
Don't hold my hand
Let go my hand boy
Don't hold my hand
In my ear I hear you whisper low
(Let it go, let it go)
Trying your best to excite me
(Move along, move along)
'Cause you know you must leave me
More than one or two fiery nights we broke out
So many times I ended up on
On the pavement
But now I'm crying out
Don't hold my hand boy
Don't hold my hand
Let go my hand boy
Don't hold my hand
Rise Up lyrics - Andra Day
You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
Move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
When the silence isn't quiet
And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we'll take the world to its feet
Move mountains
Bring it to its feet
Move mountains
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
All we need all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
And we will rise
We will rise
We'll rise
We'll rise
I'll rise up
Rise like the day
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I will rise a thousand times again
And we'll rise up
High like the waves
We'll rise up
In spite of the ache
We'll rise up
And we'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
Move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
When the silence isn't quiet
And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we'll take the world to its feet
Move mountains
Bring it to its feet
Move mountains
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
All we need all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
And we will rise
We will rise
We'll rise
We'll rise
I'll rise up
Rise like the day
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I will rise a thousand times again
And we'll rise up
High like the waves
We'll rise up
In spite of the ache
We'll rise up
And we'll do it a thousand times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
City Burns lyrics - Andra Day
The scent of momentum fills the city air
Hear the heart beat, it's alive and draws you in
Things will never be the same
Thought I'd been here, but never here times before
Then the roller coaster dipped and sped along no more
But I'm not in the same space.
Cuz I'm hardly the woman that I once was
Now I search for the ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns
Ooh As the city burns [x3]
Burns away
Burns away
Now it's fancy ladies, pricey wiles, and argyle
From homemade beats, selling tee's, and running wild
Just hope I don't lose my head
And now I'm thinking on a dream that my sister had
Back then I was too young to see it wasn't bad
So thanks chick, by the way
Cuz I'm hardly the woman that I once was
Now I search for the ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns
Ooh As the city burns [x3]
Burns away
Burns away
We're at a run right now
Before we were at a steady jog
And I'm trying to hang on to whatever I can find
Because what do you do when it's spinning so fast
How do you stand with the world on your back
I'm hardly the woman I once was search for the ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns
Ooh As the city burns [x2]
Ooh
Burns away
Burns away
Hear the heart beat, it's alive and draws you in
Things will never be the same
Thought I'd been here, but never here times before
Then the roller coaster dipped and sped along no more
But I'm not in the same space.
Cuz I'm hardly the woman that I once was
Now I search for the ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns
Ooh As the city burns [x3]
Burns away
Burns away
Now it's fancy ladies, pricey wiles, and argyle
From homemade beats, selling tee's, and running wild
Just hope I don't lose my head
And now I'm thinking on a dream that my sister had
Back then I was too young to see it wasn't bad
So thanks chick, by the way
Cuz I'm hardly the woman that I once was
Now I search for the ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns
Ooh As the city burns [x3]
Burns away
Burns away
We're at a run right now
Before we were at a steady jog
And I'm trying to hang on to whatever I can find
Because what do you do when it's spinning so fast
How do you stand with the world on your back
I'm hardly the woman I once was search for the ground underneath my feet
As the city burns, as the city burns
Ooh As the city burns [x2]
Ooh
Burns away
Burns away
Cheers To The Fall lyrics - Andra Day
Sometimes I go right
When the right way was left
Don't draw inside the lines
Because the scribbles look so sick
And who says you can't win them all
If you try
They say the higher that you climb
The further when you take the dive
But it's comatose
And I can't live that closed
They say the higher that you climb
Then when you fall you won't survive
But it's comatose
And I can't live that closed
Cause I don't know how to never try at all
So cheers to the fall
Hey
I can't pretend to be perfect
Or fit into some made-up role
But I can make the hand I'm dealt work if
I decide to never fold
And who says you can't win them all
If you try
They say the higher that you climb
The further when you take the dive
But it's comatose
And I can't live that closed
They say the higher that you climb
Then when you fall you won't survive
But it's comatose
And I can't live that closed
Cause I don't know how to never try at all
So cheers to the fall
Thanks for all your sound advice
That I didn't ask for
I'll take all of it in stride
And now I know
They say the higher that you climb
The further when you take the dive
But it's comatose
And I can't live that closed
They say the higher that you climb
And when you fall you won't survive
But it's comatose
And I can't live that closed
Cause I don't know how to never try at all
So cheers to the fall
Day!
I'll learn my lesson but I'll try
I'll take the climb
Cheers to the fall
Cheers to the fall
Hoo!

I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free lyrics - Andra Day
(originally by Nina Simone)
(from "Acrimony" soundtrack)
I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars
That keep us apart
I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That every man should be free
I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things
All the things that I should say
Say 'em so loud say 'em so clear
For the whole round world to hear
(from "Acrimony" soundtrack)
I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars
That keep us apart
I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That every man should be free
I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things
All the things that I should say
Say 'em so loud say 'em so clear
For the whole round world to hear
