Gavin DeGraw : Chariot
Lyrics
1. FOLLOW THROUGH
Oh, this is the start of something good,
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons,
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction,
As we are standing on our feet.
So, since you want to be with me,
You'll have to follow through,
With every word you say.
And I, all I really want is you,
You to stick around.
I'll see you everyday,
But you have to follow through.
You have to follow through.
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive,
They keep me in tune. Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire,
This is for you.
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart.
So, since you want to be with me,
You'll have to follow through,
With every word you say.
And I, all I really want is you,(for) you to stick around. I'll see you everyday,
But you have to follow through.
The words you say to me are unlike anything that's ever been said.
Ahh, and what you do to me is unlike anything that ever been.
Am I to obvious to preach it? You're so hypnotic on my heart,
So, since you want to be with me. You have to follow through, with every word you say. And I, all I really want is you, (for) you to stick around. I'll see you everyday.
So, since you want to be with me, you'll have to follow through with every word you say.
And I, all I really want is you, (for)you to stick around.
I'll see you everyday, but you have to follow through. You have to follow through. You're gonna have to follow.
Oh, this is the start of something good.
Don't you agree?
2. CHARIOT
Staring at a maple leaf
Leanin' on the mother tree
I said to myself we all lost touch
Your favorite fruit is
Chocolate-covered cherry
Seedless watermelon, oh
Nothing from the ground is good enough
Body rise, look what's over me
Oh chariot, your golden waves
Are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot, I'm singing out loud
To guide me, give me your... strength
Remember seeing moon's rebirth?
Rains made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
There is a living promise land
Even over fields of sand
Since it's filled my body, covered me
Bring it back, more than a memory
Oh chariot, your golden waves
Are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot, I'm singing out loud
To guide me, give me your strength
You'll be my vacation away from this place
You know what I want
Holding that cup that's pouring over the sides
You make me wanna spread my arms and fly
Oh chariot, your golden waves
Are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot, I'm singing out loud
To guide me, give me your strength
Give me your strength (Chariot)
Give me your strength (Chariot)
Give me your strength (Chariot)
Give me your strength (Chariot)
(Give me your strength) Give it to me (Chariot)
(Give me your strength) Give it to me (Chariot)
(Give me your strength) Give it to me (Chariot)
Give me your strength, oh chariot
3. JUST FRIENDS
I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart
But you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I've had other options too
But all I want is you
Girl, your body fits me like a glove
And you showered me with words of love
While you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
It's not my style to lay it on the line
But you don't leave me with a choice this time
Why weren't you true
You know I, I trusted you
When you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
You were just friends
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I'll forgive you
4. (NICE TO MEET YOY)ANYWAY
I don't want to get too close
I don't want to get too close
You see this isn't where my head is
If you knew me I'm not like this
But I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
I belive you're very fine
Still I haven't got the time
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love
I don't mean to be so strange
But my life just took a change
'Cause I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway
And the sky opened up
With the soil of the sun
Dreaming of my true love
So before this goes too far
Let me tell you what you are
You're amazing, I'm attracted
But I'm terribly distracted
And I'm trying to be verbal
And I'm back into this circle
Because I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you anyway
Nice to meet you anyway
And even if you want me to stay here
I'm telling you right now
I should leave
Before I get to changing my mind, dear
I hope you understand what I mean
5. CHEMICAL PARTY
Here at the party
Everyone's happy, everyone's high
Get struck by lightning, who here would feel it?
Who here could heal it, who here would try?
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls, it's not this town
You're just too high to see the point
You think your name is "Pass the joint"
I think I like you, but you like this whole room
You sexy machine
I'm jing-a-linging from here to the ceiling
Inside I'm reeling, so
fresh and so clean
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls, it's not this town
You're just too high to see the point
You think your name is "Pass the joint"
Oh, oh, you're still too amazing to know it
But I'm incapable of rescuing you
You find it too damn easy to get bored
That's why you're always trying something new
And then when you get older, they're all over you
Flies on cake, flies on cake
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls, it's not this town
You're just too high to see the point
You think your name is "Pass the joint"
Chemical-party-lover down
It's not the walls, it's not this town
I'm just too drunk to make my point
You think your name is "Pass the joint"
Oh, you think your name is "Pass the--"
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la...
6. BELIEF
Belief
Makes things real
Makes things feel
Feel alright
Belief
Makes things true
Things like you
You and I
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife
In the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
Oh, you stood by me
Belief
Builds from scratch
Doesn't need to relax
It doesn't need space
Long live the queen and I'll be the king
In the collar of grace
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife
In the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
Oh, you stood by me
Belief
I'm going to yell it from the rooftops
I'll wear a sign on my chest
That's the least I can do
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife
In the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
Oh, you stood by me
Tonight, you arrested my mind
When you came to my defense
With a knife
In the shape of your mouth
In the form of your body
With the wrath of a god
Oh, you stood by me
And I'll stand by my
Belief
7. CRUSH
When my pass came in, you dropped the ball
It didn't change the way I feel
And I was wishing I'd break down your walls
The kiss will know if the lips stay still
There is a line I crossed
And when you missed I lost
I'm not a loser
Girl, you know that I'll be back again
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh, my crush,I've got a crush
I suppose that I could hold it in
But you excite my every cell
Sources say that sense are your friends
My senses say that I should tell
You that I"m not ashamed
You might just feel the same
But have to try it
If you're ever really going to know
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh, my crush, I've got a crush
I want to
I need to
I have to have you
You're so much to touch
Girl, you're too much
And I can't control it - You've got me all over the road
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh, my crush
Damaging my soul
You blew me off, but I don't mind
i just get better with time
And so do you
So do you
My crush
8. I DON'T WANT TO BE
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than to birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one corncerned?
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
Can I have everyone's attentions please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation-made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be
9. MEANING
Hail to the light that my baby watches me
In the darkness of the window
I can hardly get to sleep
Wish for the hour that
The nighttime soon shall pass
And the morning dew will bring us
To a day our souls can last
Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
Situation candlelight
Enough to see the bits around you
But it's never very bright
Stare at a memory
You, through the grapevine, heard the truth
It's good to learn from your mistakes
But that only works in youth
Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
Restless minds; curtain calls follow fanfares
Troubled hearts; just a walk down the hall
Restless hearts; you take a punch just to land one
Troubled minds; it's only fair after all
Mountin, the trail, but you've got it in sight
Sometimes the only way is jumping
I hope you're not afraid of heights
Reach in my pocket for a bill that isn't there
And to face all of the undoings
Still isn't more than I can bear
Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
Giving love
Love, love
It's all been good to me
It's all been good to me
Love has reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
10. MORE THAN ANYONE
You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
Before I see you again
What can I say to convince you
To change your mind of me?
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me all you need and I will try
I will try
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone
Free for you, whenever you need
We'll be free together baby
Free together baby
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to love you more than anyone
11. OVER-RATED
Take my home, take everythin' I own
Take it, take control, you will feel better
You will feel whole
You're so good, you stopped me where I stood
You let me look at love and I feel better
Oh, I feel good
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all your
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipatin'
Everythin' else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you
You speak kind, oh, if you were mine
What would we be like?
We would be liked, we would be
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipatin'
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you
Everythin' else will be over-rated
Everythin' else will be over-rated
Open up, let me fill your cup
I can really pour it out
It will be like, I will be enough
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all your
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipatin'
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, baby, it's for you
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you
Everything else will be over-rated
Everything else will be over-rated
It will be, it will be, it will be
What I'm anticipatin'
Everything else will be over-rated
Oh, this is the start of something good,
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons,
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction,
As we are standing on our feet.
So, since you want to be with me,
You'll have to follow through,
With every word you say.
And I, all I really want is you,
You to stick around.
I'll see you everyday,
But you have to follow through.
You have to follow through.
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive,
They keep me in tune. Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire,
This is for you.
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart.

Staring at a maple leaf
Leanin' on the mother tree

Seedless watermelon, oh

Oh chariot, your golden waves

11. OVER-RATED
Take my home, take everythin' I own
Take it, take control, you will feel better
You will feel whole
You're so good, you stopped me where I stood
You let me look at love and I feel better
Oh, I feel good
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all your
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipatin'
Everythin' else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you
You speak kind, oh, if you were mine
What would we be like?
We would be liked, we would be
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipatin'
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you
Everythin' else will be over-rated
Everythin' else will be over-rated
Open up, let me fill your cup
I can really pour it out
It will be like, I will be enough
I just want to give it all to you
I want to share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all your
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipatin'
Everything else will be over-rated
Baby, it's for you, baby, it's for you
Baby, it's for you, it's all for you
Everything else will be over-rated
Everything else will be over-rated
It will be, it will be, it will be
What I'm anticipatin'
Everything else will be over-rated
