Shawn Mendes - Handwritten Lyrics
Stitches
I thought that I'd been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
[x3:]
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread,
Gonna wind up dead
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head, get you out of my head
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees (falling on my knees)
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches (and I'll be needing stitches)
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help (begging, "Baby, please.")
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

Never Be Alone
I promise that one day I'll be around
I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you sound
Right now it's pretty crazy
And I don't know how to stop or slow it down
Hey
I know there are some things we need to talk about
And I can't stay
Just let me hold you for a little longer now
Take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
When you miss me, close your eyes
I may be far, but never gone
When you fall asleep tonight
Just remember that we lay under the same stars
And hey
I know there are some things we need to talk about
And I can't stay
Just let me hold you for a little longer now
And take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
And take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone

Kid In Love
I know that we just met
Maybe this is dumb
But it feels like there was something
From the moment that we touched
'Cause, it's alright, it's alright
I wanna make you mine
The way you're lightin' up the room
Caught the corner of my eye
We can both sneak out the back door
We don't have to say goodbye
'Cause, it's alright, it's alright
To waste time tonight
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Oh, baby
If this is what it's like falling in love
Then I don't ever wanna grow up
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Oh, baby
It'd be cool if it's the two of us
But I don't ever wanna grow up
'Cause I got it all
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And I got it all
And I don't ever wanna grow up
Said, your place is kinda close
And your 'Rents are out of town
Baby, there's no pressure
But if you're down, I'm down
'Cause, it's alright, it's alright
To just talk tonight
If you're feeling kinda crazy
Turn down the lights
We can take our time
Do whatever you like
It's alright, it's alright
I wanna make you mine
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Oh, baby
If this is what it's like falling in love
Then I don't ever wanna grow up
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Oh, baby
It'd be fine if it's the two of us
But I don't ever wanna grow up
[x2:]
'Cause I got it all
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And I got it all
And I don't ever wanna grow up
You make me feel like I got it all, yeah
And you make me feel
Like I'm just a kid in love
And you make me feel like I got it all
And you make me feel like I don't ever wanna grow up
Maybe we're just kids in love
Maybe we're just kids in love
Oh baby
If this is what it's like falling in love
Then we don't ever have to grow up
Maybe we're just kids in love
Maybe we're just kids in love
Oh baby
When we're alone and it's the two of us
I can't get enough
I've got it all, yeah
I've got it all, yeah
And I've got it, and I've got it all
And I've got it, and we've got it all
And I've got it, and I've got it all
But I don't ever wanna grow up

I Dont Even Know Your Name
Oh, you waited so long
Sometimes, it's hard to stand out
And you, don't have to do anything else
But be yourself
Ooh, woah, oh
You, you dressed up so nice
But all I could see was your eyes
And the crowd, came, and pulled you away
And then you were gone
Ooh, woah, yeaah
And I don't even know your name
All I remember is that smile on your face
And it'll kill me everyday
Cause I don't even know your name
Oh, everywhere that I go
I see your face and it kills me to know
That you'll never know what you did to me
And now you're gone
Yeah, I can't stop thinking 'bout you
Cause I don't even know your name
All I remember is that smile on your face
And it'll kill me everyday
Cause I don't even know your name
Yeah, I don't even know your name
I'm running, I'm searching
And I don't know where to start
I'm dying, my love, you punched a hole right through my heart
And I won't stop, stop looking
'Till I hold you in my arms
Cause I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
I'm running, I'm searching
And I don't know where to start
I'm dying, my love, you punched a hole right through my heart
And I won't stop, stop looking
'Till I hold you in my arms
Cause I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
And I don't even know your name
All I remember is that smile on your face
And it'll kill me everyday
Cause I don't even know your name.

Something Big
One, two, three, four
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Play the lotto you might win it
It's like twenty-five for life so you bust out of prison
Something's in the air, something's in the air
It's like that feeling when you're just about to kill it
Take your last shot you know you're gonna hit it
Somethings in the air, somethings in the air
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Pushing and pulling and it's grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big I feel it happening
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big
It's like that feeling when you're 'bout to win the medal
And you worked so hard that you knew you wouldn't settle
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air
When they hear you when you thought they wouldn't listen
It's like an anthem that the whole worlds singing
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Push and pull and then it's grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big I feel it happening
Oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big
Whoa
Yeah, yeah
If we stomp our feet, the ground will shake
If we clap our hands, the walls will break
Yell so loud we forget our names
'Cause something big is happening
Take this rock and start a fire
Raise this up, we're feeling high
They can't tell us anything
'Cause something big is happening
Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Pushing and pulling and it's grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like
Oh whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big is happening, whoa
Oh whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Something big I feel it happening, oh

Strings
All the strings attached, girl
All the strings attached, girl, oh yeah
Met this girl when I was three years old
We were holding hands tight so I'm told
And it felt like an eternity
Said it felt like an eternity
'Cause I knew back then we were more than friends
Two sided story it all depends
And I'll said it once, and I'll say it again
It'll only end up hurting me
Years flew by I was less than twelve
Long division I need your help
Can you come on over and work with me
Anytime you like I'll make it work for me
'Cause I knew back when if we get too close
When the time is right maybe I'll propose
Baby climb on up, show me the ropes
Darling, I want all the strings attached
I love it when you look at me like that
And you're the only girl that brings me back
'Cause baby I want all the strings attached
It's like always and forever
I won't let a moment pass
And when I'm with you I feel better
I want all the strings, all the strings attached
All the strings attached girl
All the strings attached girl, mhm yeah
So come on girl let me hold your hand
Let's go get lost, live without a plan
And I know you've got the world to see
But you know you mean the world to me
And I know right now you got second thoughts
Do whatever it takes, pay whatever the cost yeah
You know me, not the type of guy
To stick around, to do the time
But you must have me hypnotized
I'm d-d-d-down to be by your side
Every night
Darling I want all the strings attached
I love it when you look at me like that
And you're the only girl that brings me back
'Cause baby I want all the strings attached
It's like always and forever
I won't let a moment pass
And when I'm with you I feel better
I want all the strings
And baby when you fall down, I fall too
And if you get lost, then I'll get lost with you
And when the waves crash down
Then baby I won't move
'Cause I need
All the strings attached
I love it when you look at me like that
And you're the only girl that brings me back
'Cause baby I want all the strings attached
It's like always and forever
I won't let a moment pass
And when I'm with you I feel better
I want all the strings
All the strings attached
I want all the strings
All the strings attached
All the strings attached, girl
All the strings attached girl
Oh, yeah

Aftertaste
Re-rewind Friday night, never forget it
How you let me go
No more lies I'll be fine I know where I'm headed
Probably should've known
And now you're gonna say, "Pretty, please forgive me."
Fool me once, told you twice you're gonna regret it
Now you're all alone yeah
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
Close your eyes you can't hide
Try to forget me but I'm everywhere
I'm the smell on your sheets you weren't ready
When you left me there
And now you're gonna say, "Pretty, please forgive me." Yeah
Bet it hurts, it gets worse, you know nobody, said it would be fair, oh
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
And now there's something in your way
'Cause you threw it all to waste
And you wonder if you could take back what you did that day and it hurts, 'cause...
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
Truth is that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
And the aftertaste

Air
[Shawn:]
Never thought that we would end up here,
Should've known it from the start
I know you mean it when you say you love me,
But we're trying way too hard
[Astrid:]
Used to think that we would last forever,
How could I've been so wrong
Never thought I'd be the one to say this,
What if our time has come and gone?
[Both:]
You, you don't mean no harm
But you're stringin' me along and I don't have the time to spare
And I, I'm trying hard to breathe
But you're suffocating me, this time I'm coming up for air
Air [12x]
[Astrid:]
Always tryna put your two cents in
Then expecting me to change
Tried to fix me up but I'm not broken,
All you do is leave me stained
[Shawn:]
Told you not to tie me down too quickly,
Take it slow it's not a race
And you keep on tryna reel me in but,
All I really need is space
[Both:]
You, you don't mean no harm
But you're stringin' me along and I don't have the time to spare
And I, I'm trying hard to breathe
But you're suffocating me, this time I'm coming up for air
Air [12x]
Air [12x]
[Shawn:]
Trying to hold me down
But I'm surfacing
It's hard to let you go,
But I gotta leave
[Both:]
You, you don't mean no harm
But you're stringin' me along and I don't have the time to spare
And I, I'm trying hard to breathe
But you're suffocating me, I'm coming up for air
You, you don't mean no harm
But you're stringin' me along and I don't have the time to spare
And I, I'm trying hard to breathe
But you're suffocating me, this time I'm coming up for air

Crazy
Think I don't need a watch to tell the time
Think I don't need the sun to help me shine
Think I don't need a girl to be alright
Guess I didn't know
Thought I didn't need shoes on my feet
Thought I didn't need a bed to fall asleep
Thought I didn't need love to be complete
Guess I didn't know
That I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me
For me
You're all I think about when I'm awake
Part of every night and every day
And everything's a mess when you're away
Now I know
All of this is getting really old
I'm having trouble sleeping on my own
Feeling like a house but not a home
I want you to know
That I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me
For me
Guess I need a watch to tell the time
Guess I need the sun to help me shine
And I really need you in my life
Now I know
That you give me this crazy feeling
And you won't have to wait no more for me
For me
And I just got this crazy feeling
I've been making someone wait for me

A Little Too Much
She would not show that she was afraid
But being and feeling alone was too much to face
Though everyone said that she was so strong
What they didn't know is that she could barely carry on
But she knew that she would be okay
So she didn't let it get in her way
Sometimes it all gets a little too much
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much
She would always tell herself she could do this
She would use no help it would be just fine
But when it got hard she would lose her focus
So take my hand and we'll be alright
And she knew that she would be okay
So she didn't let it get in her way
Sometimes it all gets a little too much
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much, yeah
A little too much, I said a little too much, oh
Sometimes it all gets a little too much
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much yeah
Sometimes it all gets a little too much
But you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up
And you don't have to be afraid, because we're all the same
And we know that sometimes it all gets a little too much

This Is What It Takes
I watch your troubled eyes as you rest
And I fall in love with every breath
Wonder if those eyes are really shut
And am I the one you're dreaming of
'Cause underneath the darkness
There's a light that is trying so hard to be seen
And I know this, cause I'm noticed
A little bit shining through the seams
And if this is what it takes
Then let me be the one to bear the pain
Ooh, if this is what it takes
I'll break down these walls that are in our way
If this is what it takes
You keep on telling me I'm wasting time
But to call it wasting time, oh that's a crime
And you thinks it's crazy what I'm tryna do
Well baby I'm a fool for you
'Cause underneath the darkness
There's a light that is trying so hard to be seen
And I know this, cause I'm noticed
A little bit shining through the seams
And if this is what it takes
Then let me be the one to bear the pain
Ooh, if this is what it takes
I'll break down these walls that are in our way
'Cause if you don't understand yet
Then I'll never let you forget
That you don't have to do this on your own
I'll be your shoulder to lean on
I'll be your right when you feel wrong
So come on take my hand we're moving on
And if this is what it takes
Then let me be the one to bear the pain
Ooh, and if this is what it takes
I'll break down these walls
These walls that are in our way
If this is what it takes

Bring It Back
Takin' it slow
Isn't easy if as far as you go
Is only half as far as you and I both know
Yeah
Comin' out from above
A little something
And it's only because
I don't ever wanna see you in love
But I know
That you've been
Coming off strong lately
And I can feel it that
You been thinking that maybe
You got a, another shot at me
Thinking possibly
Somehow, but not now
And it's been spinning around like a hurricane
And the sound of the thunder
That's beatin' my head to the ground
But I
I know
That I can't go back,
To this,
To her,
To what we used to have
It's black and burnt,
My God this is so sad
It'll only make things worse,
If we bring it back
Whoa, yeah, yeah, oh
And I mean if you believe,
That there is something still between you and me
And baby honestly, yeah
You're not the one for me
And I can't go back,
To this,
To her,
To what we used to have.
It's black and burnt,
My God this is so sad,
It'll only makes things worse,
(If we bring it back) [4x]
If we bring it,
Back.

Imagination
Oh, there she goes again,
Every morning it's the same
You walk on by my house
I wanna call out your name
I want to tell you how beautiful you are from where I'm standing
You got me thinking what we could be 'cause
I keep craving, craving, you don't know it but it's true
Can't get my mouth to say the words they want to say to you
This is typical of love
Can't wait anymore, I won't wait, I need to tell you how I feel when I see us together forever
In my dreams you're with me
We'll be everything I want us to be
And from there, who knows, maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time
Or is that just me and my imagination
We walk, we laugh, we spend our time walking by the ocean side
Our hands are gently intertwined
A feeling I just can't describe
All this time we spent alone, thinking we could not belong to something so damn beautiful
So damn beautiful
I keep craving, craving, you don't know it, but it's true
Can't get my mouth to say the words they want to say to you
This is typical of love
Can't wait anymore, I won't wait, I need to tell you how I feel when I see us together forever
In my dreams, you're with me
We'll be everything I want us to be
And from there, who knows, maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time
Or is that just me and my imagination
Imagination
Imagination
(Whoa, whoa, whoa...)
In my dreams, you're with me
We'll be everything I want us to be
And from there, who knows, maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time
Or is that just me and my imagination
I keep craving, craving, you don't know it, but it's true
Can't get my mouth to say the words they want to say to you

Don't Want Your Love
We run about a million miles an hour
And I do my best to try to do it in style
Haven't seen you in a while girl
Our love is on trial (you run wild, you run wild)
When I call you, you never wanna pick up
Cause everything that I do is never ever enough
You only like it when it rains
And when I'm stuck in the mud (you run wild, you run wild, yeah)
[Chorus:]
Don't want your love, want your love
But I just can't get enough
Don't want your love, want your love
But I just can't get enough
You mess me up, you lay me out on the floor
You mess me up, and still I come back for more
Don't want your love
I'm not asking for much, I'm just tryna be fair
This road we're on is going nowhere
If we keep on running like a couple of kids
Who just get lost in the woods and now they're losing their wits
I'm overcome with it, this is ridiculous
How every time we get together, you're the one I miss
I feel powerless and I don't want to split
You run wild, you run wild
[Chorus]
That's it it's now or never, I can't do this forever
Cause all this stormy weather's got me running wild
That's it it's now or never, I can't do this forever
Cause all this stormy weather's got me running wild
[Chorus x2]

Lost
All it'd take is one flight
We'd be in the same time zone
Looking through your timeline
Seeing all the rainbows, I
I got an idea
And I know that it sounds crazy
I just wanna see ya
Oh, I gotta ask
Do you got plans tonight?
I'm a couple hundred miles from Japan, and I
I was thinkin' I could fly to your hotel tonight
'Cause I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind (uh)
I could feel the tension
We could cut it with a knife
I know it's more than just a friendship
I can hear you think I'm right, yeah
Do I gotta convince you
That you shouldn't fall asleep?
It'll only be a couple hours
And I'm about to leave
Do you got plans tonight?
I'm a couple hundred miles from Japan, and I
I was thinkin' I could fly to your hotel tonight
'Cause I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
Do you got plans tonight?
I was hopin' I could get lost in your paradise
The only thing I'm thinkin' 'bout is you and I
'Cause I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
I can't seem to get you off my mind
Let's get lost tonight (uh)
Let's get lost tonight
Baby, you and
I can't seem to get you off my mind
Let's get lost tonight
Let's get lost tonight
Baby, you and
I can't seem to get you off my mind
Do you got plans tonight?
I'm a couple hundred miles from Japan, and I
I was thinkin' I could fly to your hotel tonight
'Cause I can't get you off my mind
I can't get you off my mind
Do you got plans tonight, baby?
I was hopin' I could get lost in your paradise (paradise)
The only thing I'm thinkin' 'bout is you and I
And I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
I can't seem to get you off my mind, yeah
Let's get lost tonight
Let's get lost tonight
Baby, you and
I can't seem to get you off my mind
Let's get lost tonight
Let's get lost tonight
Baby, you and
I can't seem to get you off my mind
