David Archuleta - Waiting For Yesterday

David Archuleta - Waiting For Yesterday

Day-eh-ay
You and me, all alone girl
What’s going on, would you tell me what’s wrong
It’s like you’re locked up in your own world
Oh-oh with nothing to say

You keep me guessing but I see in your eyes
He made you promises but gave you lies
You’re shutting down cuz you’re so sure
That I’ll be another mistake

[Chorus:]
I know that he left you in pieces
You know that I won’t be that way
I’m not gonna treat you like he did
Oh-oh whatever it takes
You think history is repeating
You keep on pushing me away
Oh but nothing gonna change
Waiting for Yesterday-eh-eh
Day-eh-eh, Day-eh-eh

Is it worth it any longer?
You’re so scared to fall in again
Yesterday can make you stronger
So why do you feel alone?
You know I love you better than he ever did
This could be all you ever needed
Hold on to me and just remember
Oh no, never let go

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I’m the on for you tonight
I’m the one for forever
If it takes a little time (Whatever it takes, whatever it takes)
I’m the on for you tonight
I’m the one for forever
If it takes a little time (Whatever it takes, whatever it takes)

[Chorus x2]

David Archuleta - Falling

feels like my life's been passing by
with happiness just bein' a lie
how did i get here, where am i going?
one more day without knowing
struggling for one more breath
as i'm drowning in a painful death
can someone reach out for me?
in this dark and dreary sea

'cause it seems like no one can
hear the voice that's calling
try to take the most i can stand
but i keep falling

i try to chase the memories away
but they haunt me everyday
i hope i get over this phase
'cause i'm stuck inside this haze
all i need is a simple lift
such a sweet and precious gift
so i don't lose it all before
what i have left is nothing more

in my isolating misery
i feel like the epitome
of darkness and despair
just leading onto nowhere
will i be able to win this race?
i'm runnin' at a slow pace
trying hard to press on
but the motivation's gone

'cause it seems like no one can
hear the voice that's calling
try to take the most i can stand
but i keep falling

oh

i try to chase the memories away
but they haunt me everyday
i hope i get over this phase
'cause i'm stuck inside this haze
all i need is a simple lift
such a sweet and precious gift
so i don't lose it all before
what i have left is nothing more

it may not have to be this way
waiting for me they could be a new day
maybe i can revise
and escape from the lies

i try to chase the memories away
but they haunt me everyday
i hope i get over this phase
'cause i'm stuck inside this haze
all i need is a simple lift
such a sweet and precious gift
so i don't lose it all before
what i have left is nothing more

there could be something more
to what my life may have in store
i'll move from where i began
keep on pressing through to the end

David Archuleta - Save The Day

tied to the tracks and i hear you call
your voice is shaking
my dream is coming faster than you thought
and there's no escaping it
and you think that you know
how the end of the story goes
that's a page i rewrote
and i take away the roles
there's more hope than you'll ever know

so keep breathing
i said that i'll always be there
now i need it more than ever before
there's a future worth fighting for
so don't be scared
i know how you must be feeling
no one to help you carry the pain
i'm coming to save the day

the hands of the clock are standing still
but your heart is racing
you're losing your grip on the window sill
pulled down by the weight of it
and you pray for relief
as you lie on the bathroom floor
as you wait you can see
there's a light underneath the door
this is the day you've been waiting for

so keep breathing
i said that i'll always be there
now i need it more than ever before
there's a future worth fighting for
so don't be scared
i know how you must be feeling
no one to help you carry the pain

we're finally breaking into the daylight
feel the warmth of the sun
i will stand by your side
feel your fear passing on
so just look in my eyes
baby try to hold on
and you'll find it won't be long

so keep breathing
i said that i'll always be there
now i need it more than ever before
there's a future worth fighting for
so don't be scared
i know how you must be feeling
no one to help you carry the pain
i'm coming to save the day, yeah
coming to save the day

there's a future worth fighting for

so don't be scared
i know how you must be feeling
no one to help you carry the pain
it won't be long
tied to the tracks and i hear you call...

David Archuleta - The Day After Tomorrow

street lights turning on just like the sun,  
no shadows trying to knock me down tonight.  
my walk is like a run to you.  
windows like a broken crystal ball,  
show me the missing pieces of my life.  
and now i want them all with you.  

breathing faster i count the hours 'til the day after tomorrow.  
i can hardly wait, it's getting closer now, closer now.  
the day after tomorrow, it's getting closer now, closer now.  
oh my walk is like a run to you.  

(whoa) this story can't be fictional.  
this chapter's only got two pages left, and i'll rewrite it all with you.  

breathing faster i count the hours 'til the day after tomorrow.  
i can hardly wait, it's getting closer now, closer now.  
the day after tomorrow, it's getting closer now, closer now.  
oh my walk is like a run to you.  

i'm wide awake, suddenly, i know the way and i can feel it now.  
'cause i was lost, the past forgotten, i can't go back to yesterday.  

the day after tomorrow, i can hardly wait, it's getting closer now, closer now.  
the day after tomorrow, it's getting closer now, closer now.  
oh my walk is like a run.  

the day after tomorrow, i can hardly wait, it's getting closer now, closer now.  
the day after tomorrow, it's getting closer now, closer now.  
oh my walk is like a run to you.  

David Archuleta - Works For Me

Yeah, yeah, mmmmm
No I won't make up my mind
I'm too good at wastin' time
And I know, life is unpredictable
Just never know what I will find

Am I gonna stay, oh no
Am I gonna leave, I don't think so
I guess I can define me as that kinda guy
Maybe it's a big mistake
But baby that's the chance that I'll take

[Chorus:]
You say I don't know what I want
But it worked out just fine
You said it never could be done
But it worked out just fine, oh
You can say anything you want
But it worked out just fine
If it works for me
Then it works for me
If it works for me
Then it works for me

I can't forget the things you said
Your words keep running through my head
And I know you're just trying to help me out
Thanks, but I'll follow my heart instead

Am I gonna stay, oh no
Am I gonna leave, I don't think so
I can't decide between the left side or the right
Maybe it's a big mistake
But baby that's the chance that I'll take, Oh Yeah!

You say I don't know what I want
But it worked out just fine
You said it never could be done
But it worked out just fine, oh
You can say anything you want
But it worked out just fine

If it works for me
Then it works for me
If it works for me
Then it works for me

[Bridge:]
There were days when a song could not be found
There were days when my voice would make no sound for me, for me
But I don't worry about it where I'm goin'
'cause I know just where I'm wanna be
And it's time for you to see

You say I don't know what I want
But it worked out just fine
You said it never could be done
But it worked out just fine, oh
You can say anything you want
But it worked out just fine

If it works for me
Then it works for me
If it works for me
Then it works for me
