keshi - Requiem Lyrics






Amen

Oh, oh
Oh, whoa, ooh, whoa

Sign of the times
I don't pray to God thats a weakness
I don't play a God in arenas
I was doing better 'til I wanted more
Eye for an eye
You would risk it all for my blessin'
Look at what I did with my blessin'
I was doing better 'til I wanted more
All of the glory, all of the weight of the weight of the world on my shoulders crashing down on me
But I want more, I want more

Say

Say, say it
You do this all the time
No sense in holding back tonight
Can't contain it
Even if I tried
Get lost in the moment
Get lost with you, but I

Can't read your mind
When all you do is dance on the line
Can't read your mind
All I need is a sign

Say the word
I know what you're thinking, but just say it first
Been waiting all this time for you to take your turn
In my arms for a second
Baby, say the word, and I'll be yours

The look you're giving me gives you away
You finally found the high that you've been chasing
Only one more choice you got to make
I need you to tell me 'cause I

Can't read your mind
All I need is a sign

Say the word
I know what you're thinking, but just say it first
Been waiting all this time for you to take your turn
In my arms for a second
Baby, say the word, and I'll be yours

So close to your body, can you feel it?
Come and spend the night with someone new
Talking with your hands, but do you mean it?
Baby, all you gotta do is

Say the word
I know what you're thinking, but just say it first
Been waiting all this time for you to take your turn (yeah)
In my arms for a second
Baby, say the word, and I'll be yours
Say the word (yeah)
I know what you're thinking, but just say it first
Been waiting all this time for you to take your turn (yeah)
In my arms for a second
Baby, say the word, and I'll be yours (yeah)

Say the word
Say the word
Say the word

Night

Requiem

Hard to breathe, every move I make, I feel them watching me
Try to run away but I can't seem to make a sound
But I keep screaming out

On my body all the rest, I
Gave it up all that's left is you
I try to reach but I can't move

Yeah, ooh, waiting for the light
I can't close my eyes
When I'm alone I hear it calling, so save me from the night

Save me, oh, give me the light
Save me, I'm closing my eyes
Save me, I won't be the same me
Somebody wake me
(So save me from the night)

Terrified, I kill all the parts of me to stay alive
Do or die, it's all or nothing
Running out of time
I been on my mind
I can't pay the price
(Somebody save me)

On my body all the rest, I
Gave it up all that's left is you
I try to reach but I can't move

Yeah, ooh, waiting for the light
I can't close my eyes
When I'm alone I hear it calling, so save me from the night

Save me, oh, give me the light
Save me, I'm closing my eyes
Save me, I won't be the same me
Somebody wake me
(So save me from the night)

Soft Spot

I don't go out, but I'll do it for ya
You never liked it when I drank too much
I hate to dance, but I'll dance with you
'Cause I'll do anything to feel your touch

Don't like anybody, tell me why it's different with you
Don't believe in love but no one makes me feel like you do
I don't say it much 'cause I just always thought that you knew, ah

It's what you do to me
I'm wrapped around your finger and I can't stop
You know I got a soft spot for you
You know I got a soft spot for you
Baby, can't you see?
I need you 'cause you're everything that I want
You know I got a soft spot for you
You know I got a soft spot for you

Too late, don't wanna fall, baby
I just don't need somebody else to throw me aside
But I'm up all night thinkin' 'bout how it can be you to change my heart, but I

Don't like anybody, tell me why it's different with you
Don't believe in love but no one makes me feel like you do
I don't say it much 'cause I just always thought that you knew, ah

It's what you do to me
I'm wrapped around your finger and I can't stop
You know I got a soft spot for you
You know I got a soft spot for you
Baby, can't you see?
I need you 'cause you're everything that I want
You know I got a soft spot for you
You know I got a soft spot for you

Texas

Take me back to Texas, take me back to seventeen
Let me race the train tracks just to smell the gasoline
When we sipped on Moonshine and the sun was third-degree
When I had a lifetime waiting right in front of me

Take me back to Texas, take me back to twenty-three
When I ran from nothing and I wanted everything
Racin' down the highway, and I'm pickin' up the speed
Don't know where I'm going, but I think I gotta leave

Oh, take me home
I must've gotten lost when I was looking down the road
But I think I missed the exit
Oh, someone take me back to Texas

Take me back to Texas, take me back to Evergreen
Should've never left it, should've kept that part of me
I know where I'm going and it's where I'm supposed to be
I know where I'm going and I hear it calling me

Oh, take me home
'Cause I must've gotten lost when I was looking down the road
Oh, I think I missed the exit
Oh, someone bring me back to Texas

Okay, stand by thirteen

Dream

She's on top of the world, it's a good life
I get up just as high on a good night
And it's good, right? Mm
She wants flowers to grow in the sunshine
But I run just like the wind in the moonlight
And it's not right 'cause in my mind

She's a dream, the best thing to happen to me
She's a dream, all that I thought it could be
She's a dream come true
But I have nightmares, it should've been you

You were all that I had for a long time
And I still think back to you on a bad night
And it's a bad night, it's a bad, bad night

She's a dream, the best thing to happen to me
She's a dream, all that I thought it could be
She's a dream come true
But I have nightmares, it should've been you, you, you

Should've been, you, you, you
Should've been, you, you, you
Should've been, you, you, you

Should've been you, should've been you
(In my nightmares, in my nightmares)
Should've been you
(In my nightmares, in my nightmares)
Should've been you

War

Hold on you're letting go, I don't wanna lose you, baby
Feels like you're getting cold, I can't seem to reach you lately
But you turn your blank with every shot you take
And this love that you wanted, you put your pride away
Too late, we're bleeding out
I can barely hear your heartbeat
Breaking, we're going down
If I hold you close then maybe
So I try to stay, just for old time sake
But you waited and waited just so I can feel the pain

Since you wanna go to war
Let's see who hurts the other more
You always got something you wanna prove
And I've got nothing left to lose
Don't know what we're fighting for
I'm tired of going back and forth
You always got something you want to prove
And I got nothing left to lose

New walls, strong lines, look at what we've come to lately
Broke glass, spilled wine, caught up in the crossfire baby
Nothing left to say, you can have your war
Babe, is this that you wanted? Then I would've stayed away
Too much, not enough, just to earn a broken heart, and
We ran out of love tryna finish what we started
But you always say just for old time sake
Just to see if we make it, it never felt the same

Since you wanna go to war
Let's see who hurts the other more
You always got something you wanna prove
And I've got nothing left to lose
Don't know what we're fighting for
I'm tired of going back and forth
You always got something you want to prove
And I got nothing left to lose

Bodies

I take it you're leaving, this never gets easier for me
I miss how you promised me the world and I believed it
You give me a reason, to think I'm in deeper than it seems
Don't need to worry 'bout it, I can stop the bleeding

Oh, babe, you know it happens all the time
You give your heart to someone else
But they go and change their mind

Everybody wants somebody
Need somebody, anybody

Used to things falling apart
Knew how it would ever stop
But I can't help but chase the feeling

Oh, but, babe, you know it happens all the time
You give your heart to someone else
But they go and change their mind
You don't have to say you know
If it's some waste of time
'Cause I'm used to having no one
To lay here by my side

Everybody wants somebody
Need somebody, anybody
Everybody wants somebody
Need somebody, anybody
Everybody wants somebody (ooh)
Need somebody, anybody (need somebody too)
Everybody wants somebody (ooh)
Everybody wants somebody (ooh)
Need somebody, anybody (need somebody too)
Everybody wants somebody (ooh)
Need somebody, anybody

Everybody wants somebody (somebody)
Need somebody, anybody (somebody)
Everybody wants somebody (somebody)
Need somebody, anybody (somebody)

Requiem

(Yeah)

The sun and the moon they just won't stop for you
Dancing around like nothing changed
I try not to move, in fact I always lose
Time always seems to find a way

Oh, it's not the same, I miss you everyday
Still somethings I wish I told you
Could you stay?
Why'd you go away?
Hope that we can do it all (ooh, mm, ooh)

I cried and I begged, take someone else instead
Not that he listens anyways
Sticks I can't trade, so you go on ahead
Oh, I know you were mine the weight

Oh, it's not the same, I miss you everyday
Still somethings I wish I told you
Could you stay?
Why'd you go away?
Hope that we can do it all

Euphoria

She's toxic for the thrill of it
Bad news but I'm into it, she's all mine
I chase that dragon all the time
She knows how to reel me in
Use me up and she's gone again, oh, my
I stick around just for the hide

Your touch is my favorite drug
Feening for a fading love, I'm gone all for you

Take me to euphoria, euphoria
I need you in my veins
I crave the sweet escape of euphoria, euphoria
I try to walk away 'cause if I stay you'll be the death of me

I know there's no such thing as a free ride (I do, I do, I do)
But when it comes to you I'm down to pay the price
Got me cut wide open, girl, I'm bleeding
I don't know why I still need it
So kiss me and put me to sleep tonight

Your touch is my favorite drug
Feening for a fading love, I'm gone all for you

Take me to euphoria, euphoria
I need you in my veins
I crave the sweet escape of euphoria, euphoria
I try to walk away 'cause if I stay you'll be the death of me

Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Euphoria, euphoria
I tried to walk away 'cause if I stayed you'd be the death of me

Just To Die

I tried bleeding just to feel it
Day to day turned to season to season
Just how long did I stand in the deep end?
Thought of leaving, thought 'bout Jesus
Thought the whiskey was all that I need
Whens the last time I caught myself dreamin'?

Time after time
I just keep on rolling the dice
It's done in a blink of an eye
And the end of the line
You learn it ain't fair by design
So you do what you can when you rode in alive just to die
Mm, mm

All the loners, found an owner
Fall in love with them over and over
Hold them close when the nights get colder
Keep her forward, push the bolders
Every year I get older and older, oh
There's so much I wish I told ya

But time after time
I just keep on rolling the dice
It's done in a blink of an eye
And the end of the line
You learn that you can't do it twice
So you do what you can when you rode in alive just to die
Oh, so you do what you can, oh, you do what you can do
Just to die, just to die, just to die
Oh, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, no, I don't want to die

Yeah-ooh, yeah-ooh

Id

Called you on Sunday
Just to talk for a moment
Think I lost my way
Can't find the words to say
Where were you when I need you?
Oh, I can't do this on my own
I'm not strong enough
All the mountains I'm facing
I can't climb without breaking
For the life of me
Be the price I pay
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ah
Ah

Think I'm running out of options
Think I'm losing on myself and I can't stop it
All this life gon' make me nauseous
Burnin' uo just so all of you could watch it (for the world)
And the shows get imported
See if I could feel another dose (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Call it livin' in the moment
Pull me up another just to bring me into focus (yeah)
Pretty savage, H Town reppin'
Walkin' ganged up so I could reach it to Heaven
Had to turn it to eleven
Had a plan, she say I can give a lesson
Gotta take it to the masses
And the money goin' bat shit, yeah
If I want it, I'ma have it
When I die, baby, give me something lavish

I'm out of time
All the pretty girl is my weakness
I could play God but I'm pleading
I was so embedded until I wanted more
Eye for an eye
So I risked it all for my blessing
Thinking what I did for my blessing
I was so embedded until I wanted more
Hold the glory, all of the weight of the world
My shoulders crashing down on me
And I want more
I want more
