"All I Ever Wanted" by Brian Melo

Slow Down
Make it last
I'm having the time of my life
And take your photograph
I don't want to leave this behind
What seems so out of reach
We're holding it right in our hands
Let's give up everything
Let's jump in and never look back [x2]

[Chorus]
This is all I ever wanted
but life got in my way
You're all I ever wanted
I didn't see how it could change
That something was missing until today

The city comes alive
As soon as you walk through the door
Another sleepless night
But i don't want to sleep anymore
I don't want to sleep anymore

[Chorus]
This is all I ever wanted
But life got in my way
You're all I ever wanted
I didn't see how it could change
That something was missing until today

Climbing so high
just don't look down
we can see everything from here
for once in my life
feet off the ground
I don't wanna come back down

Take your photograph
I'm having the time of my life

[Chorus]
This is all I ever wanted
But life got in my way
You're all I ever wanted
I didn't see how it could change
Nothing could get in the way
You're all i ever wanted
Didn't know what i was missing until today

"Kiss Me Slowly"

Stay with me, baby stay with me,
Tonight don't leave me alone.
Walk with me, come and walk with me,
To the edge of all we've ever known.

I can see you there with the city lights,
Fourteenth floor, pale blue eyes.
I can breathe you in.
Two shadows standing by the bedroom door,
No, I could not want you more than I did right then,
As our heads leaned in.

Well, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below.
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.

Stay with me, baby stay with me,
Tonight don't leave me alone.
She shows me everything she used to know,
Picture frames and country roads,
When the days were long and the world was small.

She stood by as it fell apart,
Separate rooms and broken hearts,
But I won't be the one to let you go.

Oh, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below.

Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.

Don't run away...
And it's hard to love again,
When the only way it's been,
When the only love you knew,
Just walked away...
If it's something that you want,
Darling you don't have to run,
You don't have to go ...

Just stay with me, baby stay with me,

Well, I'm not sure what this is gonna be,
But with my eyes closed all I see
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below. (Don't let go)
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.

Oh, I'm not sure where this is gonna go,
But in this moment all I know
Is the skyline, through the window,
The moon above you and the streets below. (Baby, don't let go)
Hold my breath as you're moving in,
Taste your lips and feel your skin.
When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.

"Survive You"

[Intro:]
Now that we’ve come to an end
You say that you wanna be friends.

[Verse:]
Don’t say a word, don’t make a sound,
Don’t keep in touch, don’t come around,
Don’t ask me how I’m doing now,
Don’t think of me, just fade me out.
Forget about me and I’ll forget about you.

[Chorus:]
I can’t pretend that I don’t love you anymore
I can’t be friends cause it hurts like it’s never hurt before.
Now you think that I’m cold and I don’t care about you,
I’m better without you, couldn’t be further from the truth.
Girl, I’m dying, I’m just trying to survive you.

[Verse:]
My scars are still burning since you walked away,
Cause you rip them wide open when I see your face.
I’m back at square one trying to breathe through the pain,
You don’t even know what you’re doing to me.
When I get through to life after you?

[Chorus:]
I can’t pretend that I don’t love you anymore
I can’t be friends cause it hurts like it’s never hurt before.
Now you think that I’m cold and I don’t care about you,
I’m better without you, couldn’t be further from the truth.
Girl, I’m dying, I’m just trying to survive you.

[Bridge:]
Now that we’ve come to the end
You say that you wanna be friends.
But I,

[Chorus:]
I can’t pretend that I don’t love you anymore
I can’t be friends cause it hurts like it’s never hurt before.
Now you think that I’m cold and I don’t care about you,
I’m better without you, couldn’t be further from the truth.
Girl, I’m dying, I’m just trying to survive you,
I’m just trying to survive you.

"Jealous (Blue)"

[Verse:]
Your smile, oh, your eyes,
They light up, trouble skies, trouble skies.
Your face, beautiful grace,
Just one look and I’m amazed, I’m amazed.
You came, something changed,
Now my life ain’t the same, ain’t the same.

[Chorus:]
But I’m blue.
And sometimes it feels I’ve been fractured inside.
Baby, I’m jealous, jealous.
Uh, baby, I’m jealous.

[Verse:]
No way, there’s no way
I can break through this pain, through this pain.
I feel so confused
And my heart feels a fool, feels a fool.

[Chorus:]
But I’m blue, so blue.
And sometimes it feels I’ve been fractured inside.
Baby, I’m jealous, jealous.
Uh, baby, I’m jealous.

[Bridge:]
Can’t stop thinking of you, cause I’m so jealous, baby
Can’t stop feeling so blue, sometimes I’m jealous, baby
Can’t stop thinking of you, cause I’m so jealous, baby
She’s just so careless, baby.

[Chorus:]
But I’m blue.
And sometimes it feels I’ve been fractured inside.
Baby, I’m jealous, jealous.
Uh, baby, I’m jealous
