Nick Jonas - Nick Jonas Album Lyrics

Chains

With her wine-stained lips, yeah she's nothing but trouble
Cold to the touch but she's warm as a devil
I gave all my heart but she won't heal my soul
She tasted a break and I can't get more

You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love

Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me

Alone in the night 'til she knocks on my door
Oh no, wasted again but I can't say no (no)
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul

You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love

Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me

Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul

You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love

Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me

Jealous

I don't like the way he's looking at you
I'm starting to think you want him too
Am I crazy, have I lost ya?
Even though I know you love me, can't help it

I turn my cheek music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting red in the face
You can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous

I wish you didn't have to post it all
I wish you'd save a little bit just for me
Protective or possessive, yeah
Call it passive or aggressive

I turn my cheek music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting red in the face
You can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous

You're the only one invited
I said there's no one else for you
'Cause you know I get excited, yeah
When you get jealous too

I turn my cheek music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm turning red in the face
You can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous

Oh (that's why)
I still get jealous
Oh (that's why)
I still get jealous

Teacher

Right when I think I finally got you figured out
You turn around, blow my mind
So frustrated, girl you make me wanna shout
And it's the only the start of the night
And I'm like, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my God
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my God

What you do me more?
What you do me more?
When you wear that dress, and my heart can't take it anymore
What you do me more?
What you do me more?
When you act like this, it's like your momma never told you how to love

So let me teach you

Take on step forward
Then we take a couple back
But you know I'm gonna keep up the pace
This game we're playing make me wanna break the rules
Can't let you get away from me
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my God
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my God

What you do me more?
What you do me more?
When you wear that dress, and my heart can't take it anymore
What you do me more?
What you do me more?
When you act like this, it's like your momma never told you how to love

So let me teach you

It's something I can tell
Cause everybody here is gone
Can your body tell?
It's something I can tell
Cause everybody here is gone
Can your body tell?

What you do me more?
What you do me more?
When you wear that dress, and my heart can't take it anymore
What you do me more?
What you do me more?
When you act like this, it's like your momma never told you how to love

So let me teach you

Warning

I keep trying to escape
From this cage that I live in
This prison in my head
Oh I own many mistakes
From all the things I never did
I carry my defense
Now I'm running for the fences on my own

And I can see the warning
Yeah I can see the warning, warning
It's brighter than the morning, morning
Keeps trying to turn me right around
And it's all I ever wanted
It's all I ever wanted, wanted
I'm breaking the warning down, down

I, I got something inside
Keeps burning my body til it's sore
Keeps wanting more and more
Oh and I, I'm gonna find
I'm gonna find what I have lost
On the luck when I was taught
Now I'm running for the fences on my own

And I can see the warning
Yeah I can see the warning, warning
It's brighter than the morning, morning
Keeps trying to turn me right around
And it's all I ever wanted
It's all I ever wanted, wanted
I'm breaking the warning down, down

I'm breaking the warning (I'm breaking the warning)
I'm breaking the warning (I'm breaking the warning)
I'm breaking the warning down
Now I'm running for the fences on my own

And I can see the warning
Yeah I can see the warning, warning
It's brighter than the morning, morning
Keeps trying to turn me right around
And it's all I ever wanted
It's all I ever wanted, wanted
I'm breaking the warning down, down

I'm breaking the warning
(Yeah I can see the warning, warning
It's brighter than the morning, morning)
I'm breaking the warning
(Keeps trying to turn me right around
And it's all I ever wanted)
I'm breaking the warning
(It's all I ever wanted, wanted
I'm breaking the warning down, down)
Breaking the warning down

Wilderness

Gotta have it
The feeling you give me is savage
But why do we all gotta make it complicated
A modest overrated

Can we take it? Take it back to basics?
Oh.

We can rob it,
With the moon and the stars up above us
Like a million of years, before we ever got together
A prehistoric treasure

Can we take it? Take it back to basics?
Oh, yeah

Naked as the day we were born
Did you know it could feel like this, feel like this?
I'll take your body back, take it back, take it back to the wilderness, wilderness

Let's take it back,
Let's take it back

Before the fire
We discovered desire
There's no use talking just let me hear you breathing
Or I'll overheat it

Can we take it? We take it back to basics.
Oh, yeah

Naked as the day we were born
Did you know it could feel like this, feel like this?
I'll take your body back, take it back, take it back to the wilderness, wilderness

Let's take it back,
Let's take it back

I'll take it back
Let's take it back
I'll take it back
I'll take it back
Take it back
I'll take it back
I'll take it back

Naked as the day we were born
Did you know it could feel like this, feel like this?
I'll take your body back, take it back, take it back to the wilderness, wilderness

Let's take it back [5x]

Numb

This is sometime, this is okay
Gotta be numb, to miss you like that
Liftin' me up, lettin' me fall
F*ck with my head like it's nothin' at all
You were my sun, you were my air
I was your best and you were my worst
Breakin' my heart one percent at a time
Well here's a piece of my mind

[Hook - Nick Jonas:]
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah you stole my heart
And all I have is a hole where it used to be
And the hardest part is
Now you've got some substitute for me
But he's not the one
You don't know what it is you do to me
Yeah you leave me numb, numb
Yeah you leave me numb, numb

Losin' my mind, losin' control
Swallow my pride, you swallow me whole
Smile on my face, to cover my hurt
Spent so much time, but what was I worth?
I'm broken apart, I'm savin' it all
Thoughts in my head, mistaken for love
Nails in my back, they don't mean a thing
They ain't yours, they ain't yours

[Hook]

[Angel Haze:]
I got trapped off in a [?] on a matchbox in your rage
You said we are merely players who still act off of this stage
I kept begging you to stay like baby please don't leave me
Know you don't like fall but what's one more season?
And I dream on, you gettin' your plot and your scheme on
And I just be here with my theme song
He love me, he love me, no he don't
Cause you make me feel like the night before Christmas
Love is a crime and I'm stuck in your prison
Far as you want, baby I'll go the distance
If you're numb and I'm numb then what are we feelin'?

[Hook]

Take Over

I can tell that you're a real bad girl
Underneath it all
You never want to let me see the dark side
Go and let it show

This is our only chance
Let it happen
Catch me if you can

Let your money talk
Dirty thoughts for me
(Take over, take over, take over)
Like a crazy drug
You come over me
(Take over, take over, take over)

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
(Take over, take over, take over)

I wish that I could just read your mind
Tell me what I'll see?
Yeah always try up with your disguise
Take it off of me

This is our only chance
Let it happen
Catch me if you can

Let your money talk
Dirty thoughts for me
(Take over, take over, take over)
Like a crazy drug
You come over me
(Take over, take over, take over)

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
(Take over, take over, take over)

I know you understand that I want you to stand
Right wherever I am
I know you understand that I want you to stand
Right wherever I am

This is our only chance
Let it happen
Catch me if you can

Let your money talk
Dirty thoughts for me
(Take over, take over, take over)
Like a crazy drug
You come over me
(Take over, take over, take over)

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
(Take over, take over, take over)

Push

[Verse 1:]
Hold me down under the water
You know well that I can't swim
I'm not trying to be a martyr
Knowing I won't let you in
Safe and warm inside myself
But you nedd more than someone else

[Chorus:]
You need space, you need time
You take yours and I'll take mine
Come closer so I can be the one to push
It's not me, it's just you
It doesn't mean shit when it falls through
Come closer so I can be the one to push you
The one to push

[Verse 2:]
Hold me tight enough to kill me
Bite my tongue so I can't speak
Clip my wings so I can't fly
Bury me deep but I won't die
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?

[Chorus:]
You need space, you need time
You take yours and I'll take mine
Come closer so I can be the one to push
It's not me, it's just you
It doesn't mean shit when it falls through
Come closer so I can be the one to push you (push you)
The one to push you (push you)

[Bridge:]
Guess I needed you enough not to notice
Guess I wanted you enough to lie
There so many faces, I should've know it
But that sure it was a beautiful disguise

[Chorus:]
You need space, you need time
You take yours and I'll take mine
Come closer so I can be the one to push
It's not me, it's just you
It doesn't mean shit when it falls through
Come closer so I can be the one to push you (push you)
The one to push you (push you)
The one to push you

[Outro:]
In our game with the pass
We may love and we attack
Let me hold you so you can be the one to push back

I Want You

Motherf*cker never loved me
Motherf*cker never loved me
So I'll take it back, what I deserve
'Cause I deserve better

And you say you never need me
Yeah you say you're gonna leave me
Well I'd like to see, you try to be
'Cause I ain't gonna let you go

Moving on, gotta take control
Staying strong, but it's taking all
Can't go back, never going back, back, back

I want you and no one else
I want you for myself
I want you and nothing else girl
No one acting confused
I've got nothing to lose
I want you and if I can't have you
Then no one will

So when you think about me
I know you think about me
Does it scare you that I know everything
And I won't keep quiet

You got the key to my heart yeah
I got the key to your apartment
Would you let me in or I'm breaking in
'Cause I ain't gonna let you go

Moving on, gotta take control
Staying strong, it's taking hold
Can't go back, never going back, back, back

I want you and no one else
I want you for myself
I want you and nothing else girl
No one acting confused
I've got nothing to lose
I want you and if I can't have you

Oh if I say I'm with someone else
I would lose my head
If I had your love for myself
Don't know what I'd do

I want you and no one else
I want you for myself
I want you and nothing else girl
I'll never let you go (na-na-na-na-na)
Hey (na-na-na-na-na)
I'll never let you go (na-na-na-na-na)
Woah (na-na-na-na-na)
I'll never let you go (na-na-na-na-na)
Hey (na-na-na-na-na)
I'll never let you go (na-na-na-na-na)
Ahhhh

I want you and no one else
I want you for myself
I want you and nothing else girl
No one acting confused
I've got nothing to lose
I want you and if I can't have you
(If I can't have you)
Oh if I say I'm with someone else
I would lose my head
If I had your love for myself
Don't know what I'd do (don't know what I'd do)
I want you and no one else
I want you for myself
I want you and nothing else girl
And nothing else but you

Avalanche

Words like a loaded gun
Shot out from a fire tongue
Love lost from a fight that was won
And I can see you breaking down
The end to a falling out

I got pride, you can't hold your breath
We'll crash down like an avalanche
Look out now, don't take one more step
We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche

I never wanted it to turn out this way
Now forever feels like yesterday
Sorry something that I just can't say
Can you see me breaking down
The end to a falling out

I got pride, you can't hold your breath
(Even if we survive)
We'll crash down like an avalanche
(Crash down, crash down)
Look out now, don't take one more step
(Even if we survive)
We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche
(Crash down, crash down)

We'll crash down, yeah
Like an avalanche

I got pride, you can't hold your breath
We'll crash down like an avalanche
Look out now, don't take one more step
We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche

Nothing Would Be Better

Nothing is forever, nothing would be better
In the love you're giving me
I just gotta have you, wish you didn't have to win
You're gonna set me free

Like it or not, we were doomed from the start
I know that you're clear
But nothing is forever, nothing would be better
Better than you and me

Than you and me
Than you and...

I take the worst of what you got
It hurts more than sticks and rocks
You know I'll be there
You know I'll be there
And I would be a punching bag
Throw it all and don't hold back
Still I'll be there
You know I'll be there

Cause I used to live in fear, it was my home
But there are harder things to be than all alone
You're the broken part of me that makes me hold
But so unsure

Nothing is forever, nothing would be better
In the love you're giving me
And I just gotta have you
Wish you didn't have to win
You're gonna set me free

Like it or not, we were doomed from the start
I know that you're clear
But nothing is forever, nothing would be better
Better than you and me

Than you and me
Than you and me

We don't turn around unless we're throwing stones
And we're crying like these cracks are in my bones
You're the broken part of me that makes me hold
But so unsure

You're the broken part of me that makes me hold
But so unsure

Nothing is forever, nothing would be better
In the love you're giving me
And I just gotta have you
Wish you didn't have to win
You're gonna set me free

Like it or not, we were doomed from the start
I know that you're clear
But nothing is forever, nothing would be better
Better than you and me

Santa Barbara

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

I wish that I could bite my tongue
Cause even when I right I'm wrong
I wish that I could pull these scabs
And bleed you out
And there's no one, no one like you

My coffees got a bitter taste
I wish that I was in that place
New York City
so far from Santa barabara
And there's no one, no one like you

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Ohh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Ohh

The summer days are so long
It's hard to hide in the light
So afraid
of what you'll see
On the other side of the light (the light)
and there's no one, no one like you.

I guess I used to love this place
(you see all this talk about finding yourself)
Feeling that I know it's fate
(You lost yourself)
why is New York City
(God says)
so far from Santa Barbara
(You could travel to the end of the earth)
Barbara
(But you can always come back home)
And there's no one, no one like you.

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Ohh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Ohh

Closer

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

All I really know is that I felt OK
When I met you in April
You were looking like me
I know you like to run girl
So go on and set the pace
The liquor never tastes good
But I don't need to chase

Take another hit
Just fake it till you feel it
Open up and let me in
I just wanna feel you

Closer, Closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, Closer
Close enough to feel this moment

Like the Sun in December
Or a lemonade in June
I know what you want girl
'Cause I want it too
Have you ever noticed
That I can't see straight
'Cause I'm hooked on your body
Got me glued to your waist

Take another hit
Just fake it till you feel it
Open up and let me in
I just wanna feel you

Closer, Closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, Closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, Closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, Closer
Close enough to feel this moment

Aye
Wuddup Nick?
Alright

I look good, I smell good, I f*ck good too
I'm looking around like
She would, and she would, and she probably would too (yup)
I'm sittin' on the couch like it's my house
You a bad girl, take a time out
Matter fact, you can bring a friend
My voice sound like silk in the wind
Henny bottles on my table
The owner was a fan, so that's already paid for
Girls lookin' at me like I got a halo
I don't do second dates, that's just how the game go
Look at my life, I made that shit
Look at my car, I suede that shit
Replay that shit
She don't f*ck white boys
I'ma change that shit

Closer, Closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, Closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, Closer
Close enough to feel this moment
Closer, Closer
Close enough to feel this moment
