“Stay” Lyrics
By Chris Cayzer
(OPM Song & Lyrics)

you say I only hear what I want to.
you say I talk so all the time so.

and I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don’t belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong ’cause I missed you.
yeah, I missed you.

and you say I only hear what I want to:
I don’t listen hard,
I don’t pay attention to the distance that you’re running
or to anyone, anywhere,
I don’t understand if you really care,
I’m only hearing negative: no, no, no.

so I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
and this guy was singing my song:
the lover’s in love, and the other’s run away,
the lover is crying ’cause the other won’t stay.

some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born.
well, this is not that:
I think that I’m throwing, but I’m thrown.

and I thought I’d live forever, but now I’m not so sure.

you try to tell me that I’m clever,
but that won’t take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.

you said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, “hey, I can leave, I can leave.”
but now I know that I was wrong, ’cause I missed you.

you said, “You caught me ’cause you want me and one day you’ll let me go.”
“you try to give away a keeper, or keep me ’cause you know you’re just so scared to lose.
and you say, “stay.”

you say I only hear what I want to.

“My stupid Mouth” Lyrics
By Chris Cayzer
(OPM Song & Lyrics)

My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said “well anyway…”
Just dying for a subject change

Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said “think before speaking”
No filter in my head
Oh, what`s a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said “think before speaking”
No filter in my head
Oh, what`s a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I`m never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I`d rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I`m never speaking up again
Starting now

One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it`s all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said “think before speaking”
No filter in my head
Oh, what`s a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I`m never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I`d rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I`m never speaking up again
Starting now

“Too little too late” Lyrics
By Chris Cayzer
(OPM Song & Lyrics)

Come with me
Stay the night
Just say the words but boy it don’t feel right
What do ya expect me to say (You know it’s just too little too late)
You take my hand
And you say you’ve changed
But boy you know your begging don’t fool me
Because to you it’s just a game (You know it’s just too little too late)

So let me go now
‘Cause time has made me strong
I’m starting to move on
I’m gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know…

[Chorus]
It’s just too little too late
A little too long
And I can’t wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it’s just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don’t like me
You’re just a good chase
So be real
It doesn’t matter anyway (You know it’s just too little too late)

Yeah yeaaahhh… It’s just too little too late… Mhmmm

[Verse 2]
I was young
And in love
I gave you everything
But it wasn’t enough
And now you wanna communicate (You know it’s just too little too late)
Go find someone else
And letting you go
I’m loving myself
You got a problem
But don’t come asking me for help
‘Cause you know…

[Chorus]
It’s just too little too late
A little too long
And I can’t wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it’s just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don’t like me
You’re just a good chase
So be real
It doesn’t matter anyway (You know it’s just too little too late)

[Bridge]
I can love with all of my heart, baby
I know I have so much to give (I have so much to give)
With a player like you I don’t have a prayer
That’s the way to live
Ohhhh… mmm nooo
It’s just too little too late
Yeaahhhh…

[Chorus]
It’s just too little too late
A little too long
And I can’t wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it’s just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don’t like me
You’re just a good chase
So be real
It doesn’t matter anyway (You know it’s just too little too late)

You know it’s just too little too late [2x]

[Chorus]
It’s just too little too late
A little too long
And I can’t wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it’s just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don’t like me
You’re just a good chase
So be real
It doesn’t matter anyway (You know it’s just too little too late)

“Collide” Lyrics
By Chris Cayzer
(OPM Song & Lyrics)

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You’re barely waking
And I’m tangled up in you
Yeah

But I’m open, you’re closed
Where I follow, you’ll go
I worry I won’t see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find, you and I collide

I’m quiet, you know
You make a first impression
I’ve found I’m scared to know
I’m always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find, you and I collide

Don’t stop here
I’ve lost my place
I’m close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

“MR. BRIGHTSIDE” Lyrics
By Chris Cayzer
(OPM Song & Lyrics)

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

And I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

Cause I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside

I never…
I never…
I never…
I never…

SOMEDAY WE’LL KNOW Lyrics
By Chris Cayzer
(OPM Song & Lyrics)

Ninety Miles outside Chicago
Can’t stop driving
I don’t know why
So many questions
Need an answer
Two years later
he’s still on my mind
Jonathan:
Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Both:
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?

(Ohh)

(Chorus)
Someday we’ll know
If love can move a mountain…
Someday we’ll know
Why the sky is blue…
Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you…

Mandy:
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
Jonathan:
Or what the wind says when she cries?
Mandy:
I’m speeding by the place that I met you
Both:
For the 97th time…Tonight

(Chorus)
Someday we’ll know
If love can move a mountain…
Someday we’ll know
Why the sky is blue…
Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you…
(yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Both:
Someday we’ll know
Jonathan:
Why Samson loved Delilah…
Both:
One day I’ll go
Mandy:
Dancing on the moon…
Both:
Someday you’ll know
That I was the one for you…
Mandy:
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow,
Jonathan:
I watched the stars crash in the sea,
Mandy:
If I could ask God just one question…
Both:
Why aren’t you here with me?…Tonight

(Chorus)
Someday we’ll know
If love can move a mountain…
Someday we’ll know
Why the sky is blue…
Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you…
(yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Someday we’ll know
Why Samson loved Delilah…
One day I’ll go
Dancing on the moon…
Someday you’ll know
That I was the one for you…

I Got You
Chris Cayzer

I neve danced with a gorgeous ballerina
or been on a date with a spicy cheerleader
i never looked at the stars with the girl next door
or had a pen pal to write to
and met across the shores
i can’t dwell on the past
i don’t know how long these feelings will last

chorus
But then there’s you…
i got you…i got you…
i’ve never been a captain of any sporting team
never been an academic or listed by the dean
never had the girls look twice my way
but when she noticed i never knew what to say
i can’t dwell on th past, no… no…
i don’t know how long these feelings will last

[repeat chorus]

I can’t believe you’re here with me
oh all those nights when you were just a dream
let me touch you just to know you’re real
i’ll breathe you in and i’ll begin to live
but then there’s you
oh i got you
i got you…you…you…
i got you
