Thirty Song Challenge
1. Unwritten — Natasha Bedingfield
- Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
- You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time,
And try not to waste anymore of mine
[alternatively]
All my life I've tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide
- What's fun about commitment?
When we have our life to live
Yeah, we're just young dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
- Everyone knows what I look like
Not even one of them knows me
Yeah, I just want to drink tequila with my friends
I'm so defeated I just want this shit to end
- My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
Quote:Kit: i reserve delicate for whenever richbelle gets around to confessing something
- Maybe the end is near
But I've been waiting all year
To get the hell up out of here
And throw away my fears
- Your shouted cursive I've been reading
You're style is quite selective,
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is
- I had the right intentions
Sometimes, my hope envelopes me
And I can't learn the lesson
Not to send a goldfish to sea
- And I hold onto hope, I'm not alone
I know my faith will take me home
And I'm going to fight harder than I cry, yeah
- Some I have known have a ship
Where they sleep with sounds of rocks on the coast
They sail over oceans five fathoms deep
But can't find what they want the most
- I'm tired of hiding
Behind these lying eyes
I'm tired of this smile
That even I don't recognize
- Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize, hypocrites,
You're all here for the very same reason
- She ran away to chase her dreams
And they said she wouldn't make it far
She took a chance and packed her bags
She left town and didn't look back
So tired of wishing on the stars
- You're hiding something, 'cause it's burning through your eyes
I try to get it out but all I hear from you are lies
- We are the sum of our parts
And we've both seen the palms of our hands where the lines meet
It's fortune that favors the brave ones
[alternatively]
Slow down we're losing the meaning of words now
Quiet the noise cause we made a mountain of minuscule things
- I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
- This is the part, you've got to say all that you're feeling, feeling
Packing a bag, we're leaving tonight when everyone's sleeping, sleeping
Let's run away
I'll run away with you
[alternatively]
Baby, take me to the feeling
I'll be your sinner, in secret
When the lights go out
Run away with me
- Rule number one, is that you gotta have fun
But baby when you're done, you gotta be the first to run
Rule number two, just don't get attached to
Somebody you could lose
[alternatively]
Rule number three, wear your heart on your cheek
But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat
Rule number four, gotta be looking pure
Kiss him goodbye at the door, and leave him wanting more, more
- Think you’re funny, think you’re smart
Think you’re gonna break my heart
Think you’re funny, think you’re smart
Yeah, you may be good-looking but you’re not a piece of art
- I forget about the consequences,
For a minute there I lose my senses
And in the heat of the moment
My mouth starts going the words start flowing
- As old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
Stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be
All I wanna be, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be is everything at once
- History is a part of the conversation
But the past no longer holds me back anymore
No I won't hide behind the secrets and the complications
We both know that we were wrong and it's time to move on
- I know that I might seem
A little aimless
And I can also be
A little shameless
- She's deadly man, she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter
Ooh, the beauty is there but a beast is in the heart
[alternaitvely]
(Oh here she comes)
She's a maneater
(Oh here she comes)
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
- I’ll find a verse that will reverse
All the times I let you down
Of course, it’s worse for you than it ever was for me
- Make a point of having fun
It'll help you get through life
"Life sucks and love is dumb"
Golly that's a real lie
- I close my eyes, I pray for sleep
It's the same bad dream for nearly a week now
And lord how I've tried, can't catch no shut eye
- My Mama said some people come into your life for a reason
Wouldn't believe her, I believe it now
Didn't see you, wasn't looking for ya
Didn't see love, I wasn't looking for love
[alternatively]
It's been a couple years s-since I been on my own
I get the feeling I don't wanna be alone anymore
- Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road
- I got your letters
I got your words
I stacked them high
And lit them all and let 'em burn
