Hopeless Romantic (2017)




















Best You Ever lyrics - Michelle Branch

Dearest lover, read this letter
I can't pretend I'm still in love
If my lips could say it better
I'd still be there when you wake up

We used to be for real
But now you make me feel
Like I'll never be enough
You turned me on, then turned me off, oh

I want you to remember me
Every time you scream it's the best you ever
I want you to remember me
In a lucid dream as the best you ever
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa

I hope you can find someone who will
Satisfy you like I did
Do all the stupid little things that
Never are as obvious

And all the things you miss
I seal 'em with a kiss
But I can't sign sincerely yours
I never was, I've never been

I want you to remember me
Every time you scream it's the best you ever
I want you to remember me
In a lucid dream as the best you ever
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa
Best you ever

I've been wondering why
I tried so hard to win your love
I'm giving up
I don't wanna waste any more time
So goodbye

I want you to remember me
Every time you scream it's the best you ever
I want you to remember me
In a lucid dream as the best you ever
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa-oh, oh whoa

I want you to remember me
I want you to remember me
Best you ever

You're Good lyrics - Michelle Branch

Nobody knows me better
You've got a way
Yeah you know you do
You say it'll be forever
I'm gonna believe 'cause I know it's true

Everybody tells me that you're not enough
They don't understand you like I do
They'll never change their minds because they're not in love, not in love
They'll never know
They're not in love with you

I know the way you feel in the dark
Move in the dark, so slow
You're like a song, I know you by heart
Every part of your soul
And I know you're good

Everybody tells me that you're not enough
They don't understand you like I do
They'll never change their minds because they're not in love, not in love
They'll never know
They're not in love with you

I know the way you feel in the dark
Move in the dark, so slow
You're like a song, I know you by heart
Every part of your soul
And I know you're good

I know the way you feel in the dark
Move in the dark, so slow
You're like a song, I know you by heart
Every part of your soul
I know the way you feel in the dark
You move in the dark, so slow
You're like a song, I know you by heart
Every part of your soul
And I know you're good

Fault Line lyrics - Michelle Branch

I feel safe when we are standing in the wreckage
Are we hopeless pulled in opposite directions
Just when I was thinking that I couldn't be lonely any longer
You start to pull me under when I try to keep my head above the water

Tremble and shake
We can't rewrite all our mistakes
Lovers on a fault line
The things we say
When we're both right
We ricochet, lovers on a fault line
And we both know
You and I will never change
But we're holding on until we feel it break
It's too late to be the first to walk away
When we're lovers on a fault line

You kissed me too hard
I thought you had the best intentions
You took it too far
Always desperate for attention
Just when I was thinking that I couldn't be lonely any longer
You start to pull me under when I try to keep my head above the water

Tremble and shake
We can't rewrite all our mistakes
Lovers on a fault line
The things we say
When we're both right
We ricochet, lovers on a fault line
And we both know
You and I will never change
But we're holding on until we feel it break
It's too late to be the first to walk away
When we're lovers on a fault line

I'm scared that I am drowning in an open sea
You're standing on the shore not even noticing
Just when I was thinking that I couldn't be lonely any longer

Tremble and shake
We can't rewrite all our mistakes
Lovers on a fault line
The things we say
When we're both right
We ricochet, lovers on a fault line
And we both know
You and I will never change
But we're holding on until we feel it break
It's too late to be the first to walk away
When we're lovers on a fault line

I feel safe when we are standing in the wreckage

Heartbreak Now lyrics - Michelle Branch

You're my one obsession
You're my daydream in the afternoon
It's my great depression
I love knowing that I can't have you, oh

The things I should be running from
I never seem to get enough

Ready for the heartbreak now
Got me spinning out of control
And I'm haunted by the way that I want you
Cause you can't help who you love
I'm lonely all over again
Lonely all over again
No, you can't help who you love

Opposite attraction
Pull me like a magnet into you
Cause a chain reaction
Hold me down so I can't make a move, woah

The things I should be running from
I never seem to get enough

Ready for the heartbreak now
Got me spinning out of control
And I'm haunted by the way that I want you
Cause you can't help who you love
I'm lonely all over again
Lonely all over again
No, you can't help who you love

Only you know how to set me off
I never seem to get enough

Ready for the heartbreak now
Got me spinning out of control
And I'm haunted by the way that I want you
Cause you can't help who you love
I'm lonely all over again
Lonely all over again
No, you can't help who you love
Woah, no you can't help who you love
No, you can't help who you love

Hopeless Romantic lyrics - Michelle Branch

Cause I'm a hopeless romantic
When I should run for my life

You got me on my knees, you got me crawling
But love is always better when you're falling
Everything is dangerous when it's just the two of us
Jumping in over our heads

Never satisfied
I never wanna close my eyes
Now I can sleep at night
But I'm never sleeping

Cause I'm a hopeless romantic
When I should run for my life
Honey, I don't understand it
Cause it's magic, but it's tragic
I know you're gonna eat me alive
You're gonna eat me alive

Underneath the sheets I feel so wanted
You're the mystery that I am solving
Everything is dangerous when it's just the two of us
Jumping in over our heads

Now I toss and turn
Now I only toss and turn
When will I ever learn?
Boy, I never listen

Cause I'm a hopeless romantic
When I should run for my life
Honey, I don't understand it
Cause it's magic, but it's tragic
I know you're gonna eat me alive
You're gonna eat me alive

Cause I'm a hopeless romantic
When I should run for my life
Honey, I don't understand it
Cause it's magic, but it's tragic
I know you're gonna eat me alive
You're gonna eat me alive

Living A Lie lyrics - Michelle Branch

People tell you what you want
They tell you what you want to hear
You better get your story straight
You better get your answer clear

You're such a simple boy
You threw it all away
You're just a big mistake
I wanna tell you to your face

Honey you're high
Been begging all night
You've done it before
Now you blame it on me
I'm losing my sleep
Can't take it no more

'Cause you're living in a lie
Everyone will realize
That you're living in a lie
Even when you close your eyes

But you do it to yourself
You only do it to yourself
Running off your dirty mouth
Showing off your dirty ways

Stupid little girl
This isn't all a game
Look me in the eye
Say it to my face

Honey you're high
Been begging all night
You've done it before
Now you blame it on me
I'm losing my sleep
Can't take it no more

'Cause you're living in a lie
Everyone will realize
That you're living in a lie
Even when you close your eyes
'Cause people tell you what you want
'Cause people tell you what you want
'Cause you're living in a lie

You can break
You can shake
You can say what you want
Watch me walk away, walk away
Watch me walk away, walk away

'Cause you're living in a lie
Everyone will realize
That you're living in a lie
Even when you close your eyes
'Cause people tell you what you want
'Cause people tell you what you want

'Cause people tell you what you want
'Cause people tell you what you want

'Cause you're living in a lie

Knock Yourself Out lyrics - Michelle Branch

Here we are, we are waiting for life to begin
And I'm just so bored of innocence
And everyone is busy making plans
Go ahead, knock yourself out

I'm heading out of here to who knows where
Maybe I'll write a song and someone will listen
Is that enough to make me happy?
Well, I won't know until I get there

I keep talking, but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am

In the dark I can feel the weight of the world
Pushing down on top of my shoulders
You think you're strong enough to carry it all?
Go ahead, knock yourself out

I keep talking, but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am

I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there
When I get there
I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there
When I get there

I keep talking, but no one listens
And I keep hearing things that I can't understand
And I see beauty in resistance
And I'm just trying to figure out who I am
I'm just trying to figure out who I am

And I hope all that I've learned will make sense
When I get there

Temporary Feeling lyrics - Michelle Branch

Strange how a stranger knows you better
Than you ever knew yourself
You're a lover and a dancer
But you need somebody else
Now you're taking off your clothes
I bet you never fell this fast before
And I'm just seeing where this goes

It's just a temporary feeling
I'm gonna have to let you go
I'm gonna love you like I mean it
And I don't need to take it slow
It's just a temporary feeling
So I don't need to take it slow

Strange how sincerely we can lead each
Other into something deep
For a minute we're both in it
It's so mutual how we deceive
Now you're taking off my clothes
And I've never felt like this before
You're just seeing where this goes

It's just a temporary feeling
I'm gonna have to let you go
I'm gonna love you like I mean it
So I don't need to take it slow

You think it's only physical
Until we make it chemical
Guess we're not immune to love
When it's just the two of us

It's just a temporary feeling
I'm gonna have to let you go
I'm gonna love you like I mean it
So I need to take it slow
It's just a temporary feeling
And I don't need to take it slow

Carry Me Home lyrics - Michelle Branch

Running into you is the strangest thing
I never noticed how you look at me
I feel so funny asking "how you've been?"
I hear you're living in the city
Growing up is really make believe
They never told us 1983
These 16mm memories
And got us falling in slow motion

You make me feel like I've had too much to drink
The room is spinning and I trip on my feet
I'm seeing double, saying things I don't mean
Just had a taste, I'm already wasted

And if I need you, would you carry me home?
You know I don't really care where we go
And in the morning, under sheets and shadows
I think I love you, but what do I know?

You make me feel like I've had too much to drink
The room is spinning and I trip on my feet
I'm seeing double, saying things I don't mean
Just had a taste, I'm already wasted

And if I need you, would you carry me home?
You know I don't really care where we go
And in the morning, under sheets and shadows
I think I love you, but what do I know?

And I've been sitting second guessing all alone
I guess you know you'll never find it if you want it
And you've been standing right in front all along
Yeah, you've been standing right in front of me all along

And if I need you, would you carry me home?
You know I don't really care where we go
And in the morning under sheets and shadows
I think I love you
And if I need you, would you carry me home?
You know I don't really care where we go
And in the morning under sheets and shadows
I think I love you, what the hell do I know?
Carry me, carry me
Carry me, carry me home

Not A Love Song lyrics - Michelle Branch

You were my first ever
I wish we'd never met
You drink to feel better
I'm drinking to forget

My heart is hungover
Roll over in my bed
I need something stronger
So I can breathe again

Remember when you said, "Together, forever?"
Whatever

You're not even good enough for a love song
You're just somebody that I wasted my youth on
Turn up the radio, I wanna let you know, oh
This isn't your love song
Oh oh no
This isn't your love song
Oh oh oh
Said this isn't your love song

I'm not bitter
I'm not sorry
I'm not even heartbroken
Cause I knew when we started
That it would have to end

Remember when you said, "Together, forever?"
Whatever

You're not even good enough for a love song
You're just somebody that I wasted my youth on
Turn up the radio I wanna let you know, oh
This isn't your love song
Oh oh no
This isn't your love song
Oh oh oh
Said this isn't your love song

Long nights, cheap wine
I cry but never about you
It's slurred but I've got the last word
Long nights, more wine
I lied, I do think about you
It hurts, but I've got the last word

You're not even good enough for a love song
You're just somebody that I wasted my youth on
Turn up the radio, I wanna let you know, oh
This isn't your love song
Oh oh
No, this isn't your love song
Oh, here we come now, for a love song
You're just somebody that I wasted my youth on
Turn up the radio, I wanna let you know, oh
This isn't your love song
Oh oh oh
No, this isn't your love song
I said no, this isn't your love song
Yeah, this isn't your love song

Last Night lyrics - Michelle Branch

Tell me where it hurts and I'll fix you up
If I am yours then say you're mine
I'll do anything that you ask me
For you I'd die

My heart cries out
I can't live without you
I can't go on without you
So scream out loud
Say that you want me
The way I want you

We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time
(Don't you know it feels like)
We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time
(Don't you know it feels like)

It makes a body cold when you're lonely
To want someone so much you cry
Crawl on hands and knees for you baby
I'd even lie

My heart cries out
I can't live without you
I can't go on without you
So scream out loud
Say that you want me
The way I want you

We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time
(Don't you know it feels like)
We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time
(Don't you know it feels like)

I wonder where you go when you close your eyes
It drives me crazy 'cause I'll never know
And I just wanna feel how you feel inside
Inside

We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time
(Don't you know it feels like)
We're gonna live like it's the last night
We're gonna light up on the night sky
We're gonna love like its the last time

Bad Side lyrics - Michelle Branch

I can't help myself
I never learn
You put me through hell
But I like the burn
I turn my love into electricity
So you can feel how it feels inside of me

When we get low
We get high
Let your demons play with mine
Let your demons play with mine
When it feels like it's wrong
Then it's right
You tell yourself a lie
And believe it every time

'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you

I put my breath
Into the breeze
I send it to you
Over the seas
And I'm haunting you
While you're asleep
Making you dream only of me

When we get low
We get high
Let your demons play with mine
Let your demons play with mine
When it feels like it's wrong
Then it's right
You tell yourself a lie
And believe it every time

'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you

You feel warmer than a gun
Pointed right at me
Heavy like the drums
'Cause we define insanity
Slowly going numb from staring at the sun

'Cause when we get low
We get high
Let your demons play with mine
Let your demons play with mine
When it feels like it's wrong
Then it's right
You tell yourself a lie
And believe it every time

Baby, it's not good when I'm with you
I put up with the hell you drag me through
I'll do anything you want me to
Because I like the bad inside of you

'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you
'Cause I like the bad, like the bad side of you

Shadow lyrics - Michelle Branch

I should have known
I saw the look on your face
You're a book and I have memorized every page
You can say what you want
Cry on my shoulder
You're telling lies to yourself
Over and over

Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
No matter how you turn it 'round inside your head
Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
So don't be scared

Look how the stars are suspended in space
You can try to explain as you're losing your faith
And you can search all you want
Find all the answers
You fell in love with a girl
That's all that matters

Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
No matter how you turn it 'round inside your head
Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
So don't be scared

And now I know I've been here before
I'm sure we've been wanting more
I know its déjà-vu for sure
I know

Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
No matter how you turn it 'round inside your head
Because the night is just Earth's shadow falling on you
So don't be scared

City lyrics - Michelle Branch

I don't know what it is about this city
Every road I walk down I discover
Little pieces I thought I never had in me
I never had in me
I guess you knew it all along
That somewhere down the darkest alley is a heartbeat
Is a heartbeat
You remind me
And I swear that I am walking through a daydream
Hear your heartbeat
That's where you're gonna find me

Every shape and transatlantic color wrap around me
I've discovered that I just want to get as far as I can run to From the sun in California
I don't know how the west is ever gonna win me
Once I'm breathing in the water
I'm gonna drown out every sentimental memory
Find the courage to start over

Oh I know there's got to be a reason
'Cause I'm always running from my life
They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
But I don't know what it is about this city

Miles away someone I know is sleeping
In a bedroom by the window
I guess I've always been afraid that I would miss out
And get blown out like a candle
And I don't know what it is about this city
Every road I walk down I discover
Little pieces I thought I never had in me
I never had in me
And it's raining here in London

Oh I know there's got to be a reason
'Cause I'm always running from my life
They say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
But I don't know what it is about this city

Creep lyrics - Michelle Branch

(originally by Radiohead)

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so very special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, oh, oh

She's running for the door
Running for the door
Running for the door
Oh oh
She's running for the door
Running for the door
Oh oh

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so very special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

Here We Go Again lyrics - Michelle Branch

I was all alone
Yeah I was on my own
I didn't need anyone
Yeah I was in control
I thought I knew it all
I thought I had it good
You know that nothing turned out
The way I thought it would
Always amazes me
Love is a mystery
How I kept singing along
To my own melody
And now I can't believe
You're standing next to me
And when I look in your eyes
I hear a symphony

My heart starts beating loud
Can you feel it
There's just no stopping it now
Here we go again
My head keeps spinning around
From the feeling
You give me something I need
I think I'm falling
And I can't hold back
From the feeling
And I know it'll never end
I know tonight
The stars will shine for you
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here we go again

I wonder can you tell
Cause I can't really hide
All of these feelings I have
Way down deep inside
You're washing over me
It's like you hold the key
And now you've opened this book
Filled in with poetry
Sometimes I can't believe
That you're here with me
And when I look your eyes
I can barely breathe

My heart starts beating loud
Can you feel it
There's just no stopping it now
Here we go again
My head keeps spinning around
From the feeling
You give me something I need
I think I'm falling
And I can't hold back
What I'm feeling
And I know it'll never end
I know tonight
The stars will shine for you
Here we go again

Again, again, again
Here we go again
Again, again, again
Here we go

Don't keep me waiting now...

And now I can't believe
You're standing next to me
And when I look in your eyes
I hear a symphony, yeah!

My heart starts beating loud
Can you feel it
There's just no stopping it now
Here we go again
My head keeps spinning around
From the feeling
You give me something I need
I think I'm falling
And I can't hold back
What I'm feeling
And I know it'll never end
I know tonight
The stars will shine for you
Here we go again

Again, again, again
Here we go again
Again, again, again
Here we go

I know tonight
The stars will shine for you
Here we go again

And now I can't believe
That you're here with me
And when I look in your eyes
I hear a symphony

Hold My Heart lyrics - Michelle Branch

Do you believe in love at first sight
I know it's true now, 'cause it happened that night
But now, you slip away
Don't believe me, when I say

When you hold my hand, you hold my heart
But lately, we still drift apart
When I say I love you, I mean it
When I say I love you, I mean it
I mean it

Do you believe that we're meant to be
I know it's true now, but you just don't see
'Cause now, you get scared
Don't believe me, but it's there

When you hold my hand, you hold my heart
But lately, we still drift apart
When I say I love you, I mean it
When I say I love you, I mean it
I mean it

Please believe me,
When I say
I'll love you 'til the end
Forever and a day

When you hold my hand, you hold my heart
But lately, we still drift apart
When I say I love you, I mean it
When I say I love you, I mean it
I mean it
I mean it

Not Gonna Follow You Home lyrics - Michelle Branch

I could kiss you right now, fall right into the fire
Forget that stupid talk about movin' on
Sneak out of the crowd and let the flames get higher
No one would even know we're gone, no

But I'm not gonna follow you home
I'm gonna say goodnight, go to sleep with the lights on
All I'm seeing is a big mistake
It's just another sound of the same old heartbreak
And we both know where it goes
So I'm not gonna follow you home

And I know if I stay just a little bit longer
You'd push me right over the edge
It's hard enough to have control
And even harder standing this close
This is as close as it's gonna get

But I'm not gonna follow you home
I'm gonna say goodnight, go to sleep with the lights on
All I'm seeing is a big mistake
It's just another sound of the same old heartbreak
And we both know where it goes
So I'm not gonna follow you home

It would be so easy
Just lettin' you hold me
It would be so easy, baby

But I'm not gonna follow you home
I'm gonna say goodnight, go to sleep with the lights on
The lights on, yeah

Cause all I'm seeing is a big mistake
It's just another sound of the same old heartbreak
And we both know where it goes
So I'm not gonna follow you home

Yeah, I'm not gonna follow you home

Cause all I'm seeing is a big mistake
It's just another sound of the same old heartbreak
And we both know where it goes

I could kiss you right now
Fall right into the fire

Sunset Cigarette lyrics - Michelle Branch

Long ride break lights
Static on the stereo
Pull my hair back, sunglasses
Everything's dusty roads.

I don't know just what it is you want from me
But right now tell me anything and I'll believe
Yeah, you could tell me anything

Hold me up to your lips just to keep me close
Light me up, say that I'm the one you want the most
Whisper words in my ear so I won't forget
Tell me you love me like a sunset cigarette

Dog days, summer haze
Promise that you'll stay in touch
Ooh, but deep down I know
A million ways to mix it up

So won't you kiss me right now even though it kinda hurts
Ooh and if the teardrops don't stop strike a match and let it burn
I kinda like the way it burns

Hold me up to your lips just to keep me close
Light me up, say that I'm the one you want the most
Whisper words in my ear so I won't forget
Tell me you love me like a sunset cigarette, ooh
Tell me you love me like a sunset cigarette, ooh
(Tell me you love me)

Long ride break lights
Static on the stereo
In the back seat falling with my eyes closed

Hold me up to your lips just to keep me close
Light me up, say that I'm the one you want the most
Whisper words in my ear so I won't forget
Tell me you love me like a sunset cigarette, ooh
Tell me you love me like a sunset cigarette, ooh
You know I want you and I can't get out of it
Hold me up to your lips
Baby I love you like a midnight cigarette
Hold me up to your lips
Tell me you love me like a sunset cigarette

Walk Again lyrics - Michelle Branch

(from "Deidra & Laney Rob A Train" soundtrack)

Crashing like a tidal wave
It's the only thing we can't escape
Well love until there's nothing left
Falling is a leap of faith

Where do we run to
Take the chance we could get hurt anyway

Oh oh woah oh
Oh oh woah oh
Oh oh woah oh
Oh oh woah oh

Oh oh woah oh
How do we learn to
Oh oh woah oh
Walk again walk again
Oh oh woah oh
Why are we scared to
Oh oh woah oh
Let someone in let someone in

It's written in the sky above
You can't help who you're gonna love
When we try to map the roads we make
Trust in a little twist of fate

Where do we run to
Take the chance we could get hurt anyway

Oh oh woah oh
How do we learn to
Oh oh woah oh
Walk again walk again
Oh oh woah oh
Why are we scared to
Oh oh woah oh
Let someone in let someone in

Oh oh woah oh
How do we learn to
Oh oh woah oh
Walk again walk again
Oh oh woah oh
Why are we scared to
Oh oh woah oh
Let someone in let someone in

There's a chance if we fall
We'll never find our way back again
We could jump, lose it all
Take a risk we could get hurt anyway

Oh oh woah oh
Crashing like a tidal wave
Oh oh woah oh
It's the only thing we can't escape
Oh oh woah oh
Well love until there's nothing left
Oh oh woah oh
Falling is a leap of faith

Oh oh woah oh
How do we learn to
Oh oh woah oh
Walk again walk again
Oh oh woah oh
Why are we scared to
Oh oh woah oh
Let someone in let someone in

Walk again, walk again
Let someone in, someone in
Walk again, walk again
We can learn to walk again
