Album Lyrics: "Beautifully Ordinary" (2024) - TONES AND I

"To Be Loved"

I'm sorry to my sister, think about you every day

Do you ever cry when you see the new family that I've made?

Had to go, ohh, you know I had to go, I had to leave and get away

Ohh and I'm sorry to my brother tried to help you on your way

But I could have been there more for you, I was broken and afraid

And ohh, you know I had to go, I had to leave and get away

And to the guy that hit me, I'm so sorry that I stayed

But I wanted to be loved, but to me that love was pain

I let you break me down, so I could build me up again

And again, and again, and again

I'm so sorry to myself, I could have loved you more and more

I just wanted to be loved, but I could only see my flaws

But I am grateful, ohh, I am grateful for how we handled it all

Ohh, the choices that I made, I had to make them, they weren't mine

I was so young I never thought about me leaving you behind

How that would have made you feel, do you think about me still, I hope you will

All my old friends all probably hate me, while their mother's praise me online

Does it make you sad we haven't been in touch for all this time?

The little moments that we had, all the dreams you left behind, while I got mine

I think about it all the time

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

And what's the point of all of this if I go and lose my inner child?

I just wanna make her proud, I just wanna make her smile

But I've been fighting all the days and I've been losing all the nights, but I will survive

I will not sit around just feeling sorry for myself

'Cause I got so much more to give than just a Vinyl on a shelf

And if I was going to end it all, I would have done it by now, I would have done it by now

Go and say it all, because the damage has been done

You better say it from your chest because my best is yet to come

And I will fight for every moment, until I say I'm done

I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved, I just wanna be loved

And honestly I've been scared, to do this on my own

And now I'm lost, than I was before

So I'm waiting, for anyone who cares, does anybody care anymore, anymore?

Now I'm lost, I'm lost, I am

"Lose Someone Like Me"

Hello, my old friend

I never thought we'd meet again

I told myself I didn't care about you

And since you left, you look so well

The best of me has been through hell

But if you asked I wouldn't talk about it

Oh hello, my old friend

If you were here, then I'd pretend

That I don't sit and fantasize about us

Where you are, where you live now

And did you leave your parents' house

But I don't care, so I don't think about it

We could have been the greatest

But we just made a scene

And you can't say I didn't try, but I had to set you free

And it was truly something, the way you left with ease

It couldn't have been that hard for you to lose someone like me

To lose someone like me

Oh hello, it's been awhile

My number's changed in case you've tried

To call my name, 'cause I have dialed a thousand times before

And I'd hang up before it calls, 'cause things aren't like they were before

But I don't care, so I don't think about it

Oh hello, my old friend

If you were here, then I'd pretend

That I don't sit and fantasize about us

Where you are, where you live now

And did you leave your parents' house

But I don't care, so I don't think about it

We could have been the greatest

But we just made a scene

And you can't say I didn't try, but I had to set you free

And it was truly something, the way you left with ease

It couldn't have been that hard for you to lose someone like me

To lose someone like me

All of the voices, hear all of them saying

Don't leave me, don't leave me

I need you to stay here with me

Oh believe me, I don't let it show

How could you just let me go?

We could have been the greatest

But we just made a scene

And you can't say I didn't try, but I had to set you free

And it was truly something, the way you left with ease

It couldn't have been that hard for you to lose someone like me

To lose someone like me

"I Get High"

We were young, smoking cigarettes, driving fast cars, but we saw ghosts

Held my hand hard, never no regrets, sneaking home, on the phone all night long

When we were young

We were lost, never stuck around, through the backstreets, but we saw ghosts

Hold my hand hard, just speak my name, maybe one day we'll run away

But we were lost

You just got that something that just makes me feel alive

You just got that special feel that sets my heart on fire

When you hold my hand and look me deep into my eyes, I get high

I get high

You just got that something that just makes me feel alive

You just got that special feel that sets my heart on fire

When you hold my hand and look me deep into my eyes, I get high

I get high

We had hope, we were running free, never slowed down, but we saw ghosts

Held my hand hard, drinking anything, in the backseat, but I had you

And you had me

You just got that something that just makes me feel alive

You just got that special feel that sets my heart on fire

When you hold my hand and look me deep into my eyes, I get high

I get high

You just got that something that just makes me feel alive

You just got that special feel that sets my heart on fire

When you hold my hand and look me deep into my eyes, I get high

I get high

You just got that something that just makes me feel alive

You just got that special feel that sets my heart on fire

When you hold my hand and look me deep into my eyes, I get high

I get high

You just got that something that just makes me feel alive

You just got that special feel that sets my heart on fire

When you hold my hand and look me deep into my eyes, I get high

I get high

When we were young

"We'll See Stars"

You said you were daylight

But there was a monster in your head

You flicker like stage lights

It's something crazy caught you there

But I wasn't worried

'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares

I might run a highlight

Of something you said, something you said, but

Mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No working all day in the city

We'll see stars, we'll see stars tonight

No, mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No, no, mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No working all day in the city

We'll see stars, we'll see stars tonight

No, mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No, no, ba-ba do-da-dum, ba-ba do-da-dum

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ba-ba do-da-dum, ba-ba do-da-dum

Ooh-ooh-ooh

You said you were dangerous

'Cause there was a voice up in your head

Telling you that you hated us

It's something crazy caught you there

But I wasn't worried

'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares

I might run a highlight

Of something you said, something you said, but

Mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No working all day in the city

We'll see stars, we'll see stars tonight

No, mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No, no, mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No working all day in the city

We'll see stars, we'll see stars tonight

No, mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No, no, ba-ba do-da-dum, ba-ba do-da-dum

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ba-ba do-da-dum, ba-ba do-da-dum

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Crazy, caught you, crazy caught you there

You know it's something that you said it

Caught you crazy caught you there, you there

Crazy, caught you, crazy caught you there

You know it's something that you said it caught you

Crazy, caught you there, you there

Mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No working all day in the city

We'll see stars, we'll see stars tonight

No, mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No, no, mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No working all day in the city

We'll see stars, we'll see stars tonight

No, mumma don't get lost on me tonight

No, no, ba-ba do-da-dum, ba-ba do-da-dum

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ba-ba do-da-dum, ba-ba do-da-dum

Ooh-ooh-ooh

"Dance With Me"

Give me one good reason to stay today

Give me one good reason, I'll try

I just hope that you'll be coming home tonight

Give me one good reason to dry my tears

Give me one more reason to fight

I just hope that you'll be coming home tonight

Say it's okay, 'cause I've been dancing 'round the room, and

Say it's okay, 'cause I've been waiting up for you

With a bottle of whiskey

I'm hoping you'll kiss me soon

Won't you dance with me, dance with me

Know how it feels

All the time I've wasted just to have you near me

'Cause I've been up dancing alone

I'm dancing all night

Oh, won't you dance with me, dance with me

Don't wanna hear it

'Cause sitting all alone, it takes a toll on my feelings

I've been up dancing alone

I'm dancing all night

Give me all your loving, don't change my mind

Give it all or nothing this time

I just wanna hold you close again tonight

Come and take my hand, won't you spin me 'round?

Come and show me what is life

I just hope that you'll be coming home to me tonight

Say it's okay, 'cause I've been dancing 'round the room, and

Say it's okay, 'cause I've been waiting up for you

With a bottle of whiskey

I'm hoping you'll kiss me soon

Won't you dance with me, dance with me

Know how it feels

All the time I've wasted just to have you near me

'Cause I've been up dancing alone

I'm dancing all night

Oh, won't you dance with me, dance with me

Don't wanna hear it

'Cause sitting all alone, it takes a toll on my feelings

I've been up dancing alone

I'm dancing all night

Dance with me, dance with me

Know how it feels

All the time I've wasted just to have you near me

'Cause I've been up dancing alone

I'm dancing all night

Oh, won't you dance with me, dance with me

Don't wanna hear it

'Cause sitting all alone, it takes a toll on my feelings

I've been up dancing alone

I'm dancing all night

"Figure It Out"

I ain't trying to be nothing but me, I said to 'em

But they keep pushing, pushing me up that hill

And I've had my shares of ups and downs

I've been 'round and 'round

I've loved and I've lost

But I keep making, making up my mind

And it took a little time for me to figure out

That I'm never really ever gonna figure it out

So I keep wasting all my time

And oh, I've been down a lonely road

And when I go, just lay my body cold

And dance around it like the children in the sun

Just keep in mind that I'll be looking on

I hope that someday I'll get peace of mind

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time

I hope that someday I'll look back and smile

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time

I never really got the time that I needed to do it

But I got through it, through it all before

And I was freer than a bird once but I never knew it

So I blew it, trying to get it all

And oh, I've been down a lonely road

And when I go, just lay my body cold

And dance around it like the children in the sun

Just keep in mind that I'll be looking on

I hope that someday I'll get peace of mind

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time

I hope that someday I'll look back and smile

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time

But I hope someday I'll get that peace of mind I've been looking for

But for now I need a little time to grow

And I know, I'll finally get the chance to drive that open road

But for now, I'll just keep working for my ghost

I hope that someday I'll get peace of mind

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time

I hope that someday I'll look back and smile

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time

"Wonderful"

You've been on the ledge, but no one knows you're lost

Tryna tell a friend, but something makes you stop

Even in your head, it's hard to have a thought, oh

And all the things that used to make you smile have gone, oh

I'll stay with you, stay by your side

Together we will hold on, hold on for the ride

We don't need to speak, just look up at the lights

With me now

I think you're wonderful

If you could only see you through my eyes

And know that I will stay with you, stay with you, oh

Stay with you, won't let you go

I think you're wonderful, so wonderful tonight

When you've been tryna hold the tears back from your eyes

And every day just feels like it gets harder each time

I'll stay with you, stay by your side

Together we will hold on, hold on for the ride

We don't need to speak, just look up at the lights

With me now

I think you're wonderful

If you could only see you through my eyes (My eyes)

And know that I will stay with you, stay with you, oh

Stay with you, won't let you go

I think you're wonderful, so wonderful tonight

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

I'll stay with you, stay by your side

Together we will hold on, hold on for the ride

We don't need to speak, just look up at the lights

With me now

I think you're wonderful

If you could only see you through my eyes (My eyes)

And know that I will stay with you, stay with you, oh

Stay with you, won't let you go

I think you're wonderful, so wonderful tonight

"Raise Me Up"

There's something wrong, I feel it in the waters

There's something wrong, I feel it in my mind

My head is saying there could be another

But my heart is saying give it one more try

Oh, there's something wrong I feel it in my chest

I'm begging, praying, this is just a test

Oh, what is it that's taking me out of your eye

Oh, say it to my face, say it from your chest

And if you're gonna go, you can say you did your best

But if you're gonna stay, I'm going to need better than that

I need you to see me, give me all you can

'Cause I need you now, more than I ever have

I need you to raise me up, give me the love you spare

And I won't ask for much more than that

I need you to raise me, raise me up

I need you to raise me, raise me up

Oh and maybe we've been holding onto something

A love we used to have upon a time

Don't tell me if you think we've lost our loving

'Cause it's killing me to think that you're not mine, now

Say it to my face, say it from your chest

And if you gotta go, you can say you did your best

But if you wanna stay, I'm going to need better than that

I need you to see me, give me all you can

'Cause I need you now, more than I ever have

I need you to raise me up, give me the love you spare

And I won't ask for much more than that

Oh and I don't wanna fight with you

Truth never hurts when I lie to you

Just wanna spend my whole life with you

I need you to raise me up, give me all you can

'Cause I need you now, more than I ever have

I need you to raise me up, give me the love you spare

And I won't ask for much more than that

I need you to raise me, raise me up

I need you to raise me, raise me up

"Dreaming"

Am I slowly drifting away from you, my dear?

Are you at peace about it

Or should we try to work things out?

'Cause the Lord knows they say you're better off without me

And I've been slowly dying

Since the angels brought you down

Is this just a fantasy?

A fucked up game of make-believe?

Could you still be the one for me, oh?

Am I just dreaming?

Dreaming?

Am I just dreaming?

Dreaming?

And you know they all say that the truth will set you free

But I'm not ready for it

I don't really wanna see

'Cause when the road gets rough, I've always had you near

I don't wanna walk alone now

I don't wanna live without you here

Is this just a fantasy?

A fucked up game of make-believe?

Could you still be the one for me, oh?

Am I just dreaming? (Am I just still dreaming now?)

Dreaming (Baby, am I just still dreaming? I'm just dreaming)

Am I just dreaming? (Ooh, am I just dreaming?)

Dreaming (Oh, am I just still dreaming? I'm just)

Do you really wanna leave me, do you really wanna go?

And one day you might come running back, but I guess I'll never know

When the free rides all are over and there's no more pot of gold

Do you really wanna leave me, do you really wanna go?

Am I just dreaming?

"You Don't Know Me Like That"

Caught up in all my own business

Feels like we've been down this road before

What will it take to get you out my life

When I can't get you out the door

But I'm lonely, so I've been calling you up, man, every night at four

What will it take to get you out my life

When I can't get you out the door

You love me, you've been telling me every day

Trying to show me in every way, to hold me close but

You can do your dance, but you don't really know me

You love me, you've been telling me every day

Trying to show me in every way, to hold me close but

You can do your dance, but you don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

Is there something you have left behind

Something you're holding on

But don't come over here and mess with mine

'Cause I'm already on

I don't reach out to you and cry, I've been through it all

What will it take to get you out my life

When I can't get you out the door

You love me, you've been telling me every day

Trying to show me in every way, to hold me close but

You can do your dance, but you don't really know me

You love me, you've been telling me every day

Trying to show me in every way, to hold me close but

You can do your dance, but you don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

Like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that, like

You love me, you've been telling me every day

Trying to show me in every way, to hold me close but

You can do your dance, but you don't really know me

You love me, you've been telling me every day

Trying to show me in every way, to hold me close but

You can do your dance, but you don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't really know me like that

Like that

"John Doe"

We were just strangers, in a public place

We both just saw each other 'round town, had nothing to say

'Cause we were just hopeless people, going two different places

That's why I guess I'll never know your, never know your name

Oh, we are just strangers caught in a fire

Nothing can change us, each other's mind

Never be something, you'll never be mine, oh no, oh-oh oh-oh

Oh, I feel like I've known you my whole life

I know nothing about you, but that's alright

Yeah, there's something about that look in your eyes

Oh John Doe, tell me what you want

Oh, I feel like I've known you my whole life

I know nothing about you, but that's alright

Yeah, there's something about that look in your eyes

Oh John Doe, tell me what you want, oh

You look like an angel, and I should've stayed

Oh, I can feel the butterflies cry, when you walked away

But we are just broken people, going two different places

That's why I guess I never know your, never know your name

Oh, we are just strangers caught in a fire

Nothing can change us, each other's mind

Never be something, you'll never be mine, oh no, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, I feel like I've known you my whole life

I know nothing about you, but that's alright

Yeah, there's something about that look in your eyes

Oh John Doe, tell me what you want

Oh, I feel like I've known you my whole life

I know nothing about you, but that's alright

Yeah, there's something about that look in your eyes

Oh John Doe, tell me what you want, oh

Oh and I could write you a song

Over and over, sing it again

Till we get closer, we could be friends

If I would have known your name, known your name

Write you a song

Over and over, sing it again

Till we get closer, we could be friends

If I would have known your name, known your name

John Doe

I gotta know your name

I gotta know your name

John Doe, tell me what you want, oh

"Sorrento"

David never played guitar, he was a postman on a bike

He was just a simple man, he never needed city lights

From a small town called Sorrento, in 1945 he was a child

Oh and David drank his whiskey, as he sat and watched the game

He was a Collingwood supporter, but don't hold that against him

And one day, he had a daughter, who taught him what it takes to raise her right

Oh and nothing ever came for free for this, oh so simple man

He worked for every dollar and he paid for every can

It was an honest life, for an honest man

Let's go back to Sorrento, oh let's go back to the beach

And we'll pick cowrie shells, have fish and chips with sand beneath our feet

Well that simple life you loved, well I think that's the life for me

That's the life I need

And David met a girl who would soon become his wife

And they had two kids and settled down, and built a little slice of

A little slice of heaven, in a town they both called home, small town Sorrento

And as the time moves on, old Sorrento turned to Rye

He still read the morning paper and bet on horses every night

Now his kids got kids of their own, he was a grandpa overnight, overnight

Oh and nothing ever came for free for this, oh so simple man

He worked for every dollar and he paid for every can

It was an honest life, for an honest man

Let's go back to Sorrento, oh let's go back to the beach

And we'll pick cowrie shells, have fish and chips with sand beneath our feet

Well that simple life you loved, well I think that's the life for me

That's the life I need

Oh and even though you're gone, that old Sorrento feels the same

And just like you did as a kid, they still play footy in the rain

And one day when I'm done, I'll see you smile again, and you say

Let's go back to Sorrento, oh let's go back to the beach

And we'll pick cowrie shells, have fish and chips with sand beneath our feet

Well that simple life you loved, well I think that's the life for me

Let's go back to Sorrento, oh

Let's go back to Sorrento, oh let's go back to the beach

And we'll pick cowrie shells, have fish and chips with sand beneath our feet

Well that simple life you loved, well I think that's the life I need

That's the life I need

That might be the life for me

That might be the life I need

Let's go back to, oh let's go back to the beach

"Need You To Love Me"

I lie awake 'cause I can't, I can't barely breathe

Thinking about how we strayed so hard from what we used to be

Wish I could read your mind but you don't tell me nothing

I'd ask you a thousand times, just to give me something

You had me driving 'round all night, I was running through the streets

I was blowing up your phone when you just could've stayed with me and

As the story goes, a girl is in love with a player, but the player loved me

But I gave you all

I gave you all

I gave you all of me

I just need you to love me

Need you to love me

I just need you to love me

Need you to love me

No, I just need you to love me

Need you to love me

No, I just need you to love me

Need you to love me

If you could see me through the eyes you did before

I'd still be the one you'd wanna hold a candle for

I guess as we all grow old, we lose our love some more

But I thought we'd be there too, lasted through it all

'Cause I gave you all

I gave you all

I gave you all of me

I just need you to love

I just need you to love me

Need you to love me

I just need you to love me

Need you to love me

I just need you to love me

Need you to love me

I just need you to love me

Need you to love me

I would have nothing, till you hold my hand

I've been pushed to the limits with the things you've said

And if I had the chance I would meet you again and again

I would have nothing, till you hold my hand

I've been pushed to the limits with the things you've said

And if I had the chance I would meet you again and again

'Cause I gave you all

I gave you all

I gave you all of me

I just need you to love, love me

"Only One"

Calling out your name

What would you do if we just start again

If I saw you would you still feel the same

Or would we both just smile and walk away

'Cause lately I've been dreaming on the past with you

Maybe I just moved a little fast

And now I'm wondering if I should have stayed

'Cause lately I've been dreaming of your face

And I wouldn't ask for a single second

That I don't think of your face

And I still remember the day we broke it

But I still feel the same

'Cause darling you are the only one I'd ever love

'Cause darling you are the only one I'll ever love

There's no one like you, give you everything under the sun

It's always been you, you're the only one I'd ever love

Do you still love me too?

Holding out my hand for you

Imagining that you'd just hold me still

Wishing we could dance again

Or are you with another girl?

And the thought of that just kills me

Did we make a big mistake

Should I just reach out and call you?

Or just pretend you feel the same

And I wouldn't ask for a single second

That I don't think of your face

And I still remember the day we broke

But I still feel the same

'Cause darling you are the only one I'd ever love

'Cause darling you are the only one I'll ever love

There's no one like you, give you everything under the sun

Its always been you, you're the only one I'd ever love

Do you still love me too?

Do you still love me?

Do you still love me?

Do you still love me too?

Do you still love me too?

Do you still love me too?

"Live Without Your Love"

I never sit beside the ocean

I never lay beneath the sun

I don't get caught up in the moment

I never lived when I was young

And I don't dance around the daisies

Oh, I've been a little numb

And I don't see your brighter side to life

'Cause mine just keeps rolling on, rolling on

And oh-oh-oh-oh

You're the only thing I need and I can't live without your love

And oh-oh-oh-oh

You're the only thing I need and I can't live without your love

Live without you, live without you

I don't wanna live without you

I don't wanna live without your love

Live without you, live without you

I don't wanna live without you

I don't wanna live without your love

I wanna dance around like Britney

But I, I don't have the lungs

'Cause I've been smoking, I've been drinking

And my best is yet to come

And oh-oh-oh-oh

You're the only thing I need and I can't live without your love

And oh-oh-oh-oh

You're the only thing I need and I can't live without your love

Can't live without your love

Oh-oh-oh-oh

You're the only thing I need and I can't live without your love

But oh-oh-oh-oh

You're the only thing I need and I can't live without your love

Can't live without your love

Live without you, live without you

I don't wanna live without you

I don't wanna live without your love

Live without you, live without you

I don't wanna live without you

I don't wanna live without your love

I wanna dance beneath the ocean

I never lay beneath the sun

I don't get caught up in the moment

I never lived when I was young

"Call My Name"

How we supposed to know if we're just friends?

How we supposed to know if we are meant to be?

So tell me if you wanna play pretend

But nothing really matters in the end with me

Oh, we are both strangers caught in a fire

Nothing can change us each other's mind

Never be something, never be mine, oh no

Oh, we are both strangers caught in a fire

Nothing can change us each other's mind

Never be something, never be mine, oh no

But if I was to lose you now, would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

And if I was to lose you now, would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

Can we build the tension in the air?

Minutes turn to seconds, when you're here with me

Holding onto heaven, take me there

Losing all our senses, I don't fear the deep

Oh, we are both strangers caught in a fire

Nothing can change us each other's mind

Never be something, never be mine, oh no

But if I was to lose you now, would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

And if I was to lose you now, would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

But if I was to lose you now, would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

And if I was to lose you now, would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?

Would you still call my name?
