Hey guys- help me finish these lyrics.
This one has a Costello- type inspirtation to it
POKER FACE
The games played like-
Wait, who am I kidding, you already know
Cards up at the ready, set, go
Your minds in the game, you and your wandering eyes
Claim you only want to play
But that’s just a disguise
A disguise, the kind that hides the lies
Now it’s clear what you’re doing
You’ve been looking at my cards
Everything’s flushing downwards
And it’s not the first time
You’re on a roll
Spinning out of the control
Trying to grab the chips before everyone knows
It’s a royal flush
Game over, you’re done
Don’t put on that poker face
You’ve already lost the game
We’ve figured out your poker face
As the lies came crashing down
It was about time
There won’t be another round
At least not for you

Pathetic excuse for a song
gah
as of now i officaly suck at songwriting
i'm going progressivley downhill, bummer
Ballerina foot boy (i know, please slap me now)
[v1]
Monday morning, was the first time
I ever saw you
Heard some tapping, my eyes flickered down to the floor,
And there your feet were
Dancing away, with no care in the world
The type of feet that decide, decide at the last minute
What they’re going to do
What they’re gonna live
When they’re gonna fly
I knew he must be an extraordinary guy
With a crooked smile
And the look in his eye
It only takes two seconds, then he’s on your mind
[chorus]
He’s the ballerina feet boy
Dancing around, not sure what he’s doing
Talks on his feet, lives on his toes
Brings a bit of hope
Wherever he goes
Dark hair falls down, past his eyes
Doesn’t see a thing, but don’t worry
He’s not blind
He’s just something different, one of a kind
It’s been days and days
He’s still on my mind
He’s a ballerina feet boy
[v2]
It’s a Friday afternoon; he walks in late to a test
Whispers circulate; he’s got himself in a mess
Teacher marches up
About to raise her voice
When he pulls out a hall pass, a ballerina foot choice
There’s something so different about him
He’s the kind of guy who’d laugh,
If he knew this song was about him
With a crooked smile
And the look in his eye
It only takes two seconds, then he’s on your mind
[chorus]
[v3]
In class today I wore his sweater
Then he sat next to me
Can’t tell you which was better
Drifted off in class, I got lost in his eyes
How can you blame me, he’s his own kind of person
Doesn’t even have to, wear a disguise
[chorus]
He’s not blind
And now I know, I wouldn’t want to live without him
Because
He’s a ballerina feet boy
He's not cliche, he's far from
Mine

Fresh Outta Hope
[v1]
It's always day, with the hope that flashes
Right at your face, built up passage after papssage
Fill' in your head with thoughts of wild hope
Dreams wishes loves, anything to avoid
The rock bottom that they know you'll hit, it's only a matter of time
Before that ditch
Where have those trustinig feelings gone
I miss them so, especially that hope
That kept me up and running
Oh, why couldn't I have
Seen this coming?
[chorus]
And when on the spot
They knock, knock you down
Stumbling backwards, don't let you get up
They knock, knock you down
And push you around
Turn you into a mock, mock hope
And before you can, even grab that rope
They knock, knock you down
Nothing new
But all the same, they've turned you into a game
Hey, I'm done
It's all the same
[v2]
It's when you put your faith in, then
What do you get
A big slap in the face, a hit that turns you red
And on top of that, they split us up as a pack
Now there's a fine line, you wear an ugly halo
To remind that you're different, it's made by design
Where have those trustinig feelings gone
I miss them so, especially that hope
That kept me up and running
I can't help but wonder what would have made the difference
If I had stopped, instead of wanting to keep the good times going
[chorus]
[v3]
There's no time to point fingers, it's been done before
The natural reaction, to shoving someone out the door
I know I got ripped off, but honestly counts
At least more than those lies, they smother guilt in wild amounts
You made me question myself, who I am, what I've won
That hurt just piles on to remind me I'm done
Where have those trustinig feelings gone
I miss them so, especially that hope
That kept me up and running
Now I'm nearly blinded, not sure what to do
God, please help, guide me through
[chorus]

The Arrival
As of August 4th, 2008
I am in Brazil.
First class is to luxurious
as chocolate is to sweet
UNTITLED (seriously, there is no title)
[v1]
Lost for words, never felt so alone
While soaring on the ground
A brick just shattered what I thought was home
Now I’m left, with pieces and nowhere to go
With no one by my side
It get harder to hide
Words spinning fast, I just had to stop
But then I realized
[chorus]
With you I can be myself
Don’t have to pretend and be someone else
Just taking those small steps got me pretty far
No challenge too big, no distance too far
It kills me everyday to know
I’m losing you
But honestly, we’ll make it through
[v2]
Black and white, where’s the grey that patches up the spots?
You weren’t built up
Just to be knocked back down
After all, we’re not robots
Don’t worry, I’ll always be around
To comfort you, via email
Just promise me, you know life moves on
Nothing will go wrong
I mean it
Nothing can go wrong
[chorus]
[bridge]
We were so naïve, ignoring the path
That was shoved right in our faces
And we’re left with memories
Of how it used to be
You don’t know what you got until it’s gone
Everything was so right, until it’s wrong
It’s impossible to forget, but do you even want to?
[chorus]
Honestly, we’ll make it through
All it takes is me and you
I am in Brazil.
First class is to luxurious

UNTITLED (seriously, there is no title)

The Move
As of April 20th, 2008
Sam is to South America
as Polar Bear is to Hawaii
It didn't click.
MY STAR
[v1]
Bright lights shine down, can you feel them too?
It doesn’t seem real, how can it be true?
Someone just picked up
My life and shook it around
I’m looking for you
To keep my feet on the ground
Even if we fall,
I just want you to know
[chorus]
You’re the star in the sky
That always keeps me awake
You’re the star in the sky
That never seems to fade
And though things are changing
Rearranging
Way too fast to slow down now
I know you’ll always be
My star
[v2]
Times are rough
Don’t know how I’ll get through
One day is enough
What else can I lose?
I’d give all I have
For just one day with you
Listen to your heart beatfast
So I can know that it’s true
[chorus]
[bridge]
So what happens when things don’t work out?
I don’t know how hold this pain
I’m on the edge, so close to the break now
Why do I feel so ashamed?
The worst about having things perfect
Was knowing it would never last
And it all, just goes to show
[chorus]
I know you’ll always be
My star
I need you more
Show me a sign
You’re divine as an angel
So
Please be mine
Sam is to South America
as Polar Bear is to Hawaii
It didn't click.
MY STAR
