The Loneliest Time Album Lyrics by Carly Rae Jepsen

Surrender My Heart

So I've been trying hard to open up
When I lost someone, it hit me rough
I paid to toughen up in therapy, she said to me
Soften up

I'm sorry if I push your good away
Especially when I'm needing you to stay
I know you hate that I still test your love
I'm trying not to f*ck this up

But the benefit of all the broken hearts
That I broke before they could break me
Is a little bit of life regrets
I won't bring that mess to you when you're with me
And I wanna be brave enough to show you my not-so-perfect family
And I wanna be brave enough for everything

Surrender my heart (I'm out here in the open)
I wanna get closer (I believe in you every night)
Surrender my heart
I wanna be open
I wanna be honest with you

I used to soldier through my hardest days
I used to switch it off, ignore the pain
I craved to feel it all entirely in your arms, baby

But the benefit of all the broken hearts
That I broke before they could break me
Is a little bit of life regrets
I won't bring that mess to you when you're with me
And I wanna be brave enough to show you my not-so-perfect family
And I wanna be brave enough for everything

Surrender my heart (I'm out here in the open)
I wanna get closer (I believe in you every night)
Surrender my heart
I wanna be open
I wanna be honest with you

I believe in you every night (na na na na na na na)
Every night (na na na na na na na)
Every night (I believe in you every night)
I believe in you every night (na na na na na na na)
Every night (na na na na na na na)
Every night (I believe in you every night)

Surrender my heart (I'm out here in the open)
I wanna get closer (I believe in you every night)
Surrender my heart
I wanna be open
I wanna be honest with you

Joshua Tree

Running from the night
I drove miles away to finally feel alone
There's no morn in sight
But the desert lights could lead the way back home

I'm in the moment, living undercover
Painting on each other
All the colors, I can't get enough
California dreaming's never what it seems
But here it comes, I know what I must do now

I need it (da-da, da-da-da)
I feel it (da-da, da-da-da)
I see it (da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da)
I know it (da-da, da-da-da)
I own it (da-da, da-da-da)
I show it (da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da)

Give me paradise
I'll eclipse the stars and fall like once before
I'm like Aphrodite
And it's fine to only know the things I know

I'm in the moment, living undercover
Painting on each other
All the colors, I can't get enough
California dreaming's never what it seems
But here it comes, I know what I must do now

I need it (da-da, da-da-da)
I feel it (da-da, da-da-da)
I see it (da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da)
I know it (da-da, da-da-da)
I own it (da-da, da-da-da)
I show it (da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da)

I'm feeling dramatic
I like the moon and the magic of this
Oh, I, Oh, I, I-
I'm feeling dramatic
I like the moon and the magic of this
Oh, I, Oh, I, I-

Talking to Yourself

I was always invisible
Consequences are difficult to face
Could've been something beautiful, mmm
But you made it impossible to stay

So tell me what you got on your mind
What you got on your mind?
What you got on your mind?
Am I keeping you up at night?
Keeping you up at night?
I'll never let you be, no

Are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?
Do you talk to me when you're talking to yourself?
Are you reaching for me making love to someone else?
Do you talk to me (to me)
When you're talking to yourself, self?
When you're talking to your
Talk to me (to me)
When you're talking to yourself

You were never just miserable
Without taking me with you all the way
Don't it hit you subliminal?
Now that I'm not the only one who's taking the blame?

So tell me, what you got on your mind?
What you got on your mind?
What you got on your mind?
Am I keeping you up at night?
Keeping you up at night?
I'll never let you be, no

Are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?
Do you talk to me when you're talking to yourself?
Are you reaching for me making love to someone else?
Do you talk to me (to me)
When you're talking to yourself, self?
When you're talking to your
Talk to me (to me)
When you're talking to your

Are you thinking of me?
Does it kill you that you're thinking of me?

Are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?
Do you talk to me when you're talking to yourself?
Are you reaching for me, making love to someone else?
Do you talk to me (to me)
When you're talking to yourself, self?
When you're talking to your
Talk to me (to me)
When you're talking to yourself, self
When you're talking to your
Talk to me (to me)
When you're talking to yourself

Far Away

I'd give this love a second try
First I just imagined all your qualities
And that's my fault
But if you could put my feet back on the ground
We could try to introduce ourselves
I'd like to get to know you

Let me kiss all of these tears coming down
I heard a night bird singing
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Your face is calming me down
Maybe I'll just stop thinking
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Just tell me you need me side by side
Those sweetest words of my whole life
Oh baby, not far away, not far away from that conversation

Just tell me you need me side by side
Those sweetest words of my whole life
Oh baby, not far away, not far away from that conversation

Trying not to talk first
'Cause words don't mean authority
And you look powerful just standing tall in front of me
But if you could put my feet back on the ground
We could try to introduce ourselves
I'd like to get to know you

Let me kiss all of these tears coming down
I heard a night bird singing

Those sweetest words of my whole life
Oh baby, not far away, not far away from that conversation

Just tell me you need me side by side
Those sweetest words of my whole life
Oh baby, not far away, not far away from that conversation (conversation)

A night bird singing, ooh
Just tell me you need me side by side
Those sweetest words of my whole life
Oh baby, not far away, not far away from that conversation

Just tell me you need me side by side
Those sweetest words of my whole life
Oh baby, not far away, not far away from that conversation (conversation)

No Lyrics

Beach House

Boy number one made a picnic for two
Saw he was nervous, I thought it was cute
Until I found out that his mom made the food (it was good though)

Boy number two had a beautiful face
Highly agreed to go back to his place
His wife really had some impeccable taste (she was sweet though)

I've been on this ride
This rollercoaster's a carousel
And I'm getting nowhere

Boys around the world
I want to believe that when you chase a girl
It's not just hunting season
I can see the future, say it like you mean it

I've got a beach house in Malibu
And I'm probably gonna hurt your feelings
I'm probably gonna hurt your feelings
I'm probably gonna hurt your

Boy number twelve had a look in his eye
Brought up his ex and he started to cry
Told me he loved me the very first night (oh, no)

Who knows what I'm in for with
Boy number I can't keep count any more

I've been on this ride
This rollercoaster's a carousel
And I'm getting nowhere

Boys around the world
I want to believe that when you chase a girl
It's not just hunting season
I can see the future, say it like you mean it

I've got a beach house in Malibu
And I'm probably gonna hurt your feelings
I'm probably gonna hurt your

I've got a weekend in paradise
And I'm probably gonna never call you
I'm probably gonna hurt your

I got big plans to take care of you
I just need to borrow ten thousand dollars
I'm probably gonna hurt your

I've got a lake house in Canada
And I'm probably gonna harvest your organs
I'm probably gonna hurt your

I've got a beach house in Malibu
And I'm probably gonna hurt your feelings

Boys around the world
I want to believe that when you chase a girl
It's not just hunting season
I can see the future, say it like you mean it

I've got a beach house in Malibu
And I'm probably gonna hurt your feelings

Bends

Sunshine, somewhere in Mexico
Long day, I didn't feel so good
Lonely, am I being sensitive?
Blue eyes, you were the sensitive one
Just say this isn't happening
Do do, do do do do do do

It's too late for that flight
To see you, how can this be life?
How can this be life?

I can feel the sun on you
Warm me up the way you do
After all the clouds have dried
Here's a jar of tears I've cried
Keep it in a sacred place
Hold me in your humble grace
'Cause I can feel the darkness sometimes too

Moonlight, stars in the water glow
Swim out, baptize me indigo
Just me and all of my cousins know
Blue eyes, we are the sensitive ones
Tell me this isn't happening (this isn't happening)
Do do, do do do do do do

In tree forts I'll see you
True wild one, where are you tonight?
Where are you tonight?
Where's your home tonight?
How can this be life?

And I can feel the sun on you
Warm me up the way you do (warm me up the way you do)
After all the clouds have dried
Here's a jar of tears I've cried
Oh, keep it in a sacred place
Hold me in your humble grace
'Cause I can feel the darkness sometimes too
But I can feel the sun on you

Western Wind

California, it crossed my mind
Once we were pressed into the
Love, we were pressed into the breeze up on the mountain
I was by your side
Do you remember a conversation
With our heads against the pillow?
Dust my shoes before I enter through your doorstep
I was on your side

Comin' in like a western wind
Do you feel home from all directions?
First bloom, you know it's spring
Remindin' me, love, that it's all connected
(What is love?)
Comin' in like a western wind

A jubilation, a celebration
Take me back into your corner
To the center of the room
We made a dancefloor
I was charmed to let go

Comin' in like a western wind
Do you feel home from all directions?
First bloom, you know it's spring
Remindin' me, love, that it's all connected
(What is love?)
Comin' in like a western wind

But could you give me peace of mind?
If I return to you in time, my golden arrow, mmm

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Comin' in like a western wind
Do you feel home from all directions?
First bloom, you know it's spring
Remindin' me, love, that it's all connected
(What is love?)
Comin' in like a western wind

Comin' in like a western wind
Do you feel home from all directions?
First bloom, you know it's spring
Remindin' me, love, that it's all connected
(What is love?)
Comin' in like a western wind

Comin' in like a western wind
Do you feel home from all directions?
First bloom, you know it's spring
Remindin' me, love, that it's all connected
(What is love?)
Comin' in like a western wind

So Nice

La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la

So nice, how refreshing
You crush all the competition
You can ask me if I'm busy tonight
I could be free for you and me
And maybe we can go for a drive

So light, keep it easy
'Cause I'm kinda independent
But I really need to stay on your mind
No other guy can help me fly
And hold me down at the same time

So nice
Incredibly honest
Polite
So nice, all night

He's right to me
It's turning me on that
He's the kind of superstar
That would only steal your heart
So nice

La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la (la, la, la, la)
La, la, la, la-la (all of the reasons I know)
La, la, la, la-la

I'm back in the middle of what could be complicated
But it's different, yeah, it's easy this time
Communicate, don't make me wait
And say whatever comes to your mind (I love you)

So nice
Incredibly honest
Polite (polite)
So nice, all night

He's right to me
It's turning me on that
He's the kind of superstar
That would only steal your heart
So nice

La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la (la, la, la, la)
La, la, la, la-la (give me all of the reasons)
La, la, la, la-la (all of the reasons)
(So ni-ni-ni)

He's my cup of tea
Sugar on my street
Hope he never leaves
I hope he never leaves me
'Cause he's all of the reasons I know
Give me all of the reasons

Apple of my eye
He took me by surprise
He swept me off my feet
I hope he never leaves me
'Cause he's all of the reasons I know
Give me all of the reasons

Bad Thing Twice

I don't remember
I don't remember you
I try not to go there
I need a spotless mind

I was born in November
You were born in a different moon
The push and the pulling
What do you want this time?

Cross the rivers of my mind
You're my little rock skipper
Skipper, skipper, skipper

Every time I close my eyes
You're my little heart hiccup
Give it up, give it up, yeah

Is it my, is it my destiny?
I wanna do a bad thing twice
A critical, critical test to me
I wanna do a bad thing twice
Can't stop feeling the rain before the thunder
I thought it through and
I wanna do a bad thing twice
Is it my, is it my destiny?
I wanna do a bad thing twice

You were the king and I was a soldier babe
I fought for your attention
Fought for you lonely eyes

I had a vision, I had to run away
Let's play this thing over
I wanna go back in time

Cross the rivers of my mind
You're my little rock skipper
Skipper, skipper, skipper

Every time I close my eyes
You're my little heart hiccup
Give it up, give it up, yeah

Is it my, is it my destiny?
I wanna do a bad thing twice
A critical, critical test to me
I wanna do a bad thing twice
Can't stop feeling the rain before the thunder
I thought it through and
I wanna do a bad thing twice
Is it my, is it my destiny?
I wanna do a bad thing twice

Caught that fever
I shouldn't be here
Only got me to blame (only got me to blame)

Caught that fever
I shouldn't be here (only, only)
Only got me to blame (only got me to blame)

Caught that fever
I shouldn't be here
Only got me to blame

Caught that fever
I shouldn't be here
Only got me to blame

Shooting Star

I might sleep with you tonight
If you wanna know why
Just because summertime and you look fine
Press my back against the door
Of the refrigerator when the heatwave comes
Ice can't melt how hot we felt

But I still believe in my New York City
Lots to do and the boys so pretty
Can't believe I've been gone so long
We can turn it on

Just sweat all my fears away
Dancing through the dark
Saw your angel face
Caught my shooting star

I got you now, I'm a Scorpio
It's physical, it's natural
My spiritual, my animal
Caught my shooting star

I got you now, I'm a Scorpio
It's physical, it's natural
My spiritual, my animal
Caught my shooting star

I believe there's a true connection
With you and me

So I might sleep with you tonight
If you wanna know why, just because
I still believe in my New York City
We could turn it on

Just sweat all my fears away
Dancing through the dark
Saw your angel face
Caught my shooting star

I got you now, I'm a Scorpio
It's physical, it's natural
My spiritual, my animal
Caught my shooting star

I got you now, I'm a Scorpio
It's physical, it's natural
My spiritual, my animal
Caught my shooting star

Last chance, you turn to me
I'd like to let, let you get, get to know me
Romance, walk down the street
I'd like to let, let you get, get to know me

Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
We could turn it on

Just sweat all my fears away
Dancing through the dark
Saw your angel face
Caught my shooting star

I got you now, I'm a Scorpio
It's physical, it's natural
My spiritual, my animal
Caught my shooting star

I got you now, I'm a Scorpio
It's physical, it's natural
My spiritual, my animal
Caught my shooting star

Somebody told me that the night's done
If I play the right song, we could keep the lights on, baby
(Caught my shooting star)
Somebody told me there's a full moon
If I play the right tune, would you give me all you, baby?
(Caught my shooting star)

Go Find Yourself or Whatever

Tell me that your mind's been changing
I tell you that I'm no good at goodbyes
I could cut a thousand roses
Show you that I'm all torn up inside

You feel safe in sorrow
You feel safe on an open road
Go find yourself or whatever
I wake up hollow
You made me vulnerable
So go find yourself or whatever
I hope it treats you better than I could do
And I'll wait for you

Tell me that we'll meet up someday
I tell you that I'm no good at telling lies
Maybe when my heart's done breaking
Then I could forgive what you tried

You feel safe in sorrow
You feel safe on an open road
Go find yourself or whatever
I wake up hollow
You made me vulnerable
So go find yourself or whatever
I hope it treats you better than I could do
And I'll wait for you

You could spend a whole life searching
And I could spend the whole day just getting by
But every time the red moon rises
I'll stay up and I'll keep some hope inside

You feel safe in sorrow
You feel safe on an open road
Go find yourself or whatever
I wake up hollow
You made me vulnerable
So go find yourself or whatever
I hope it treats you better than I could do
And I'll wait for you

The Loneliest Time

I've had one of those bad dreams
Where we're standing on your street
I quit smoking those cigarettes
But I'm never getting over it

And you're looking right through me
Just like Shakespeare wrote a tragedy
'Bout our story never finished it
'Cause our love we never finished it

I'm coming over tonight
Knock on your door just like before
I need that look in your eyes (look in your eyes)
'Cause we've had the loneliest time (loneliest time)

I'm thinking all through the night (all through the night)
I could be yours just like before
Rewrite another try
'Cause we've had the loneliest time

If you wanna try it, if you wanna try me
If you wanna try, love, if you leave the light on for me
If you wanna try it, if you wanna try it
If you wanna try, love

I've had more of those bad dreams
You were ten feet in front of me
I went running but I couldn't catch
Just the shadow of your silhouette

Then you spoke the words to me
When you left, I still need to unpack it
Let's save sorry for another night
'Cause this time, love, we're gonna get it right

I'm coming over tonight (over tonight)
Knock on your door just like before
I need that look in your eyes (look in your eyes)
'Cause we've had the loneliest time (loneliest time)

I'm thinking all through the night (all through the night)
I could be yours just like before
Rewrite another try
'Cause we've had the loneliest time

(If you wanna try it)
If you wanna try, love (If you wanna try me)
(If you wanna try, love)
If you wanna try me (If you leave the light on for me)
(If you wanna try it)
If you leave the light on for me (If you wanna try it)
I just need back into (If you wanna try, love)
I just need back into your life (If you leave the light on for me)

What happened was
We reached the moon
But lost in space, I think we got there all too soon
But you know what
I'm coming back for you, baby
I'm coming back for you

And in the morning
Sun hits the water
Is this nirvana?
And in the morning
Sun hits the water
Is this nirvana?
And in the morning
Sun hits the water
Is this nirvana?

Anxious

I thought love would keep me satisfied
But you know, but you know
I want more than what they advertised
And you're so rational

But you didn't even notice (even notice)
I was hoping you would open up (open up)
Ooh, boy, you've got a reputation

I get anxious 'cause I need a little headroom (head room)
Slow it down (slow it down) baby, could we move it to the bedroom?
Ooh, boy you've got a reputation
I get anxious, could we move it to the bedroom?

I should cool it off, I know you're tired
But you know (but you know), but you know (but you know)
But I never take my own advice
And you're so rational

But you didn't even notice (even notice)
I was jealous of your company
Ooh, boy, you've got a reputation

I get anxious 'cause I need a little headroom (I need a little headroom)
Slow it down (slow it down) baby, could we move it to the bedroom?
Ooh, boy you've got a reputation
I get anxious, could we move it to the bedroom?

Ooh, boy, you got a reputation

No Thinking Over The Weekend

I was looking for you on the beach
When it's good, was it always out of reach?
In the hotel, someone sent me flowers
Getting dressed now, meet you in an hour

Lavender sunset, ocean air
Feeling it, stealing kisses from your neck
Summer haze, the nights are getting hotter
Wake me up when you're ready for the water

Do you think about star signs?
'Cause I think I saw Jupiter
Dive into the black sky

No thinking over the weekend (our lips have no secrets)
No thinking over the weekend (this love has no limits)
I'm in this beautiful dreamin' (dreamin', dreamin', dreamin')
No thinking (thinking, thinking, thinking)

Holiday, take the train off the track
The windows were closed, so we kick the door open
Everyone waved at us

Do you think about star signs?
'Cause I think I saw Jupiter
Dive into the black sky

No thinking over the weekend (our lips have no secrets)
No thinking over the weekend (this love has no limits)
I'm in this beautiful dreamin' (dreamin', dreamin', dreamin')
No thinking (thinking, thinking, thinking)
I'm in this beautiful dreamin' (dreamin', dreamin', dreamin')
No thinking (thinking, thinking, thinking)

Tried but I couldn't get away (tried but I couldn't get away with it)
Tried but I couldn't get away (tried but I couldn't get away with it)
No thinking over the weekend, no thinking over the weekend

I'm in this beautiful dreamin' (this love has no limits)
No thinking (this love has no limits)

(Lavender sunset ocean in the water)
(In the hotel, someone sent me flowers)
(Ready for the water)
(Dreamin', dreamin', dreamin)
(Thinking, thinking, thinking)
(Wake me up when you're ready for the water)
(No thinkin', no thinkin')

Keep Away

Hands touch all night, I remember
I stayed behind and you were tender
In my whole life, I wish I never knew this kind of love

I'm keeping company
Company with all the friends I got from you
It's not easy, you said, I think you're onto me
Hard to keep it cool, I know you want me too

I, I'm trying to keep away from you
Gonna need some land between our bodies though
I'm trying to keep away from you

I, can't control the things I do
God, I miss your hands over my body though
I'm trying to keep away from you

Think of this time, it's now or never
You've made your mind up and I surrender
My heart was blind, I wish I never knew this kind of love

I'm keeping company
Company with all the friends I got from you
It's not easy, you said, I think you're onto me
It's hard to keep it cool, I know you want me too
It takes over my pain

I, I'm trying to keep away from you
We're gonna need some land between our bodies though
I'm trying to keep away from you

I, can't control the things I do
God, I miss your hands over my body though
I'm trying to keep away from you

(Keep away, away - keep away, away)
(Keep away, away - keep away, away)
(Keep away, away - keep away, away)
(Keep away, away - keep away, away)
I'm trying keep away from you (keep away, away - keep away, away)
(Keep away, away - keep away, away)
I'm trying keep away from you (keep away, away - keep away, away)

Just one word from you and I run out of reasons
Waking up, making up for the last time
Just one word from you and I'm all out of reasons
Close the door, I've been yours for the longest time

(Keep away, away - keep away, away)
God, I miss your hands over my body (keep away, away - keep away, away)
(Keep away, away - keep away, away)
God, I miss your hands over my body (keep away, away - keep away, away)
