Lyrics

All songs written by Bareilles unless otherwise noted.

Careful Confessions (2004)

• Set me free
   Leave me be
   I dont wanna fall another moment into your gravity
  • "Gravity"

• Here I am
   And I stand
   So tall
   Just the way I'm supposed to be
   But you're on to me
   And all over me
  • "Gravity"

• The time that I've taken
  I pray is not wasted
  Have I already tasted
  My piece of one sweet love
  • "One Sweet Love"

• I don't care
  For your fairytales
   You're so worried about the maiden
  Oh, you know she's only waiting on the next best thing
  • "Fairytale"

Kaleidoscope Heart (2009)

• I'm going down
  Follow if you want
  I won't just hang around
  Like you'll show me where to go
  I'm already out
  Of foolproof ideas
  So don't ask me how
  To get started
  It's all uncharted
  • "Uncharted"

• Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
   I'll be alright
   Just not tonight
   But someday
  • "Gonna Get Over You"
  • Written by Bareilles and Sam Farrar

• I'll be alright
  Once I find the other side
  Of someday
  • "Gonna Get Over You"
  • Written by Bareilles and Sam Farrar

• Who cares if you disagree?
  You are not me
  Who made you king of anything?
  So you dare
  Tell me who to be
  Who died and made you king of anything?
  • "King of Anything"

• I wanna darken in the skies
  Open the floodgates up
  I wanna change my mind
  I wanna be enough
  I want the water in my eyes
  I wanna cry until the end of time
  I wanna let the rain come down
  Make a brand new ground
  • "Let the Rain"

• Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
  Maybe, boy, when you cry nobody ever comes
  Will you try it once?
  Give up the machine gun
  • "Machine Gun"

Once Upon Another Time (2012)

• They may be lies
   But say that we'll be alright
  If we stay tonight
  • "Stay"

• A tongue like yours should be burned and branded
  So I can see you lie to me
  I wish the air would color red when you breathed it
  Oh, so I could've seen it coming
  Look in my eyes when you say you love me
  So I can see you lie to me
  • "Lie to Me"

• Mean songs are still better than going postal
  • "Sweet As Whole"

• I say what I think
  Because it's more economic than drugs or a drink
  • "Sweet As Whole"

The Blessed Unrest (2013)

• I wonder what would happen if you
  Say what you want to say
  And let the words fall out
  Honestly, I want to see you be brave
  • "Brave"
  • Written by Bareilles and Jack Antonoff

• You said
   Remember that life is
  Not meant to be wasted
   We can always be chasing the sun
   So fill up your lungs and just—run!
   We can always be chasing the sun
  • "Chasing the Sun"

• So how do you do it?
   With just words and just music
   Capture the feeling
   That my earth is somebody's ceiling
   Can I deliver in sound
   The weight of the ground
  of a cemetery
  in the center of Queens
  • "Chasing the Sun"

• You can have Manhattan
  I know it's for the best
  Gather up the avenues and leave them on your doorstep
  • "Manhattan"

• You are all just perfect little satellites
  Spinning round and round this broken Earthy life
  • "Satellite Call"

• I've got my little black dress on
  And if I tell myself that nothing's wrong
  This doesn't have to be a sad song
  Not with my little black dress on.
  • "Little Black Dress"

• I would die to make you mine
  Bleed me dry almost every time
  But I don't mind, no I don't mind it
  I would come back 1000 times
  • "1000 Times"

• Tell the world that we finally got it all right
  I choose you
  I will become yours and you will become mine
  I choose you.
  • "I Choose You"
  • Written by Bareilles, Jason Blynn, and Pete Harper

• There's no way to make the pain play fair
  It doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there
  • "Eden"
  • Written by Bareilles and Matt Hales

• It can't be a mistake
  If I just call it change
  • "December"
