DAYDREAMER

(Adele Adkins)

Daydreamer

Sitting on the sea

Soaking up the sun

He is a real lover

Of making up the past

And feeling up his girl

Like he’s never felt her figure before

A jaw dropper

Looks good when he walks

Is the subject of their talk

He would be hard to chase

But good to catch

And he could change the world

With his hands behind his back, oh

You can find him sitting on your doorstep

Waiting for a surprise

And he will feel like he’s been there for hours

And you can tell that he’ll be there for life

Daydreamer

With eyes that make you melt

He lends his coat for shelter

Plus he’s there for you

When he shouldn’t be

But he stays all the same

Waits for you

Then sees you through

There's no way I could describe him

What I’ve said is just what I’m hoping for

But I will find him sitting on my doorstep

Waiting for a surprise

And he will feel like he’s been there for hours

And I can tell that he’ll be there for life

And I can tell that he’ll be there for life

BEST FOR LAST

(Adele Adkins)

Wait, do you see

My heart on my sleeve?

It's been there

For days on end and

It’s been waiting for you

To open up

Just you baby, come on now

I’m trying to tell you just how

I’d like to hear the words

Roll out of your mouth finally

Say that it’s always been me

That’s made you feel a way

You’ve never felt before

And I'm all you need

And that you never want more

Then you’d say all

Of the right things

Without a clue

But you’d save

The best for last

Like I’m the one for you

You should know

That you’re just a temporary fix

This is not rooted with you

It don’t mean that much to me

You’re just a filler in the space

That happened to be free

How dare you think

You’d get away

With trying to play me

Why is it everytime

I think I’ve tried my hardest

It turns out it ain’t enough

Cause you're still

Not mentioning love

What am I supposed to do

To make you want me properly?

I'm taking these chances

And getting away

And though I’m trying

My hardest you go back to her

And I think that I know

Things may never change

I'm still hoping one day

I might hear you say

I make you feel a way

You’ve never felt before

And I’m all you need

And that you never want more

Then you’d say all

Of the right things

Without a clue

But you’d save

The best for last

Like I’m the one for you

You should know

That you’re just a temporary fix

This is not rooted with you

It don’t mean that much to me

You’re just a filler in the space

That happened to be free

How dare you think

You’d get away

With trying to play me

But, despite

The truth that I know

I find it hard to let go

And give up on you

Seems I love the things you do

Like the meaner you treat me

The more eager I am

To persist

With this heartbreak

And running around

And I will do until I

Find myself with you

And make you feel a way

You've never felt before

And be all you need

So that you never want more

Then you'll say all

Of the right things

Without a clue

And you'll be the one for me

And me the one for you

CHASING PAVEMENTS

(Adele Adkins, Eg White)

I've made up my mind

Don't need to think it over

If I'm wrong I am right

Don't need to look no further

This ain't lust

I know this is love but

If I tell the world

I'll never say enough

'Cause it was not said to you

And that's exactly what I need to do

If I'm end up with you

Should I give up

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere

Or would it be a waste?

Even if I knew my place

Should I leave it there?

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere

I build myself up

And fly around in circles

Wait then as my heart drops

And my back begins to tingle

Finally could this be it?

Should I give up

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere

Or would it be a waste?

Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere

Should I give up

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere

Or would it be a waste?

Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere

COLD SHOULDER

(Adele Adkins, Sacha Skarbek)

You say it's all in my head

And the things I think

Just don't make sense

So where you been, then?

Don't go all coy

Don't turn it round on me

Like it's my fault

See, I can see

That look in your eyes

The one that shoots me

Each and every time

You grace me

With your cold shoulder

Whenever you look at me

I wish I was her

You shower me with words

Made of knives

Whenever you look at me

I wish I was her

These days, when I see you

You make it look

Like I'm sight-through

Do tell me why

You waste our time

When your heart

Ain't in it

And you're not satisfied

You know I know

Just how you feel

I'm starting to find myself

Feeling that way too

When you grace me

With your cold shoulder

Whenever you look at me

I wish I was her

You shower me with words

Made of knives

Whenever you look at me

I wish I was her

Time and time again

I play the role of fool

(Just for you)

Even in the daylight

When you came in

(I don't see you)

Try to look for things I hear

But our eyes never find

Though I do know how you play

You grace me

With your cold shoulder

Whenever you look at me

I wish I was her

You shower me with words

Made of knives

Whenever you look at me

I wish I was her

You grace me

With your cold shoulder

Whenever you look at me

I wish I was her

You shower me with words

Made of knives

Whenever you look at me

I wish I was her

CRAZY FOR YOU

(Adele Adkins)

Found myself today

Singing out your name

You said I'm crazy

If I am

I'm crazy for you

Sometimes

Sitting in the dark

Wishing you were here

Turns me crazy

But it's you

Who makes me

Lose my head

And every time

I'm meant to be

Acting sensible

You drift into my head

And turn me

Into a crumbling fool

Tell me to run

And I'll race

If you want me

To stop I'll freeze

And if you are me

Gonna leave

Just hold me

Closer, baby

And make me

Crazy for you

Crazy for you

Lately with this state

I'm in I can't help

Myself but spin

I wish you'd come over

Send me spinning

Closer to you

My oh, my

How my blood boils

It's sweet taste for you

Strips me down bare

And gets me

Into my favourite mood

I keep on trying

Fighting

These feelings away

But the more I do

The crazier I turn into

Pacing floors

And opening doors

Hoping

You'll walk through

And save me boy

Because I'm too

Crazy for you

Crazy for you

MELT MY HEART TO STONE

(Adele Adkins, Eg White)

Right under my feet is air made of bricks

That pulls me down and turns me weak for you

I find myself repeating like a broken tune

And I'm forever excusing your intentions

Then I give in to my pretendings

Which forgive you each time

Without me knowing, they melt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that I made up

You say my name like there could be an us

I best tidy up my head, I'm the only one

In love, I'm the one in love

Each and everytime I've turned round to leave

I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed

So desperately I try to link it with my head

But instead I fall back to my knees

As you tear your way right through me

I forgive you once again

Without me knowing, you've burnt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that I made up

You say my name like there could be an us

I best tidy up my head, I'm the only one

In love, I'm the one in love

Why do you steal my hand?

Whenever I'm standing my own ground

You build me up and leave me there

I hear your words you made up

I say your name like there should be an us

I best tidy up my head, I'm the only one

In love, I'm the only one in love

FIRST LOVE

(Adele Adkins)

So little to say

But so much time

Despite my empty mouth

The words are in my mind

Please, wear the face

The one where you smile

Because you

Lighten up my heart

When I start to cry

Forgive me first love

But I'm tired

I need to get away

To feel again

Try to understand why

Don't get so close

To change my mind

Please, wipe that look

Out of your eyes

It's bribing me

To doubt myself

Simply, it's tiring

This love has dried up

And stayed behind

And if I stay

I'll be alive

Then choke on words

I'd always hide

Excuse me first love

But we're through

I need to taste the kiss

From someone knew

Forgive me first love

But I'm too tired

I'm bored to say

The least and I

I lack desire

Forgive me, first love

Forgive me

Forgive me, first love

RIGHT AS RAIN

(Adele Adkins, Leon Michels, Jeff Silverman, Nick Movshon, Clay Holley)
Who wants to be right as rain?

It's better 

When something is wrong

You get excitement in your bones

And everything you do's a game

When night comes 

And your all on your own

You can say I chose to be alone

Who want to be right as rain

It's harder when your on top

Cause when hard work 

Don't pay off

And I'm tired 

There aint no room in my bed

As far as I'm concerned

So wipe that dirty smile off

We won't be making up

I've cried my heart out

And now 

I've had enough of love

Who wants to be riding high

When you'll just crumble 

Back on down

You give up everything you are

And even then you don't get far

They make believe that everything

Is exactly what it seems

But at least 

When your at your worst

You know how to feel things

See when hard work 

Don't pay off

And I'm tired 

There ain't no room in my bed

As far as I'm concerned

So wipe that dirty smile off

We won't be making up

I've cried my heart out

And now 

I've had enough of love

Go ahead and still my heart

To make me cry again

Cause it will never hurt

as much as it did then

When we were both right

And no one had blame

But now I give up

On this endless game

Cause who wants 

To be right as rain

It's better 

When something is wrong

I get excitement 

In your bones

Even thought 

Everything's a strain

When night comes 

And I'm all on my own

You should know 

I chose to be alone

So who want to be 

Right as rain

It's harder 

When your on top

Cause when hard work 

Don't pay off

And I'm tired 

There ain't no room in my bed

As far as I'm concerned

So wipe that dirty smile off

We won't be making up

I've cried my heart out

And now 

I've had enough of love

MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE

(Bob Dylan)

When the rain is blowing in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment that we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawling down the avenue

No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea

And on the highway of regret

Though winds of change are throwing wild and free

You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true

Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the Earth for you

To make you feel my love

MY SAME

(Adele Adkins)

You said I'm stubborn

And I never give in

I think you're stubborn

'cept you're always softening

You say I'm selfish

I agree with you on that

I think you're giving out

In way too much in fact

I say we've only known

Each other one year

You say I've known

You longer my dear

You like to be so close

I like to be alone

I like to sit on chairs

And you prefer the floor

Walking with each other

Think we'll never

Match at all

But we do

But we do

But we do

But we do

I thought I knew myself

Somehow you know me more

I've never known this

Never before

You're the first

To make out

Whenever we argue

I don't know who I'd be

If I didn't know you

You're so provocative

I'm so conservative

You're so adventurous

I'm so very cautious

Combining

You think

We would and we do

But we do

But we do

But we do

Favouritism

Ain't my thing

But in this situation

I'll be glad

Favouritism

Ain't my thing

But in this situation

I'll be glad

To make an exception

You said I'm stubborn

And I never give in

I think you're stubborn

'cept you're always softening

You say I'm selfish

I agree with you on that

I think you're giving out

In way too much in fact

I say we've only known

Each other one year

You say I've known

You longer my dear

You like to be so close

I like to be alone

I like to sit on chairs

And you prefer the floor

Walking with each other

Think we'll never

Match at all

But we do

But we do

But we do

But we do

TIRED

(Adele Adkins, Eg White)

Hold my hand

While you cut me down

It had only just begun

But now it's over now

And you're in the heat of moments

With your heart playing up cold

I'm between the middle

Watching hastiness unfold

In my eyes you were smiling

In the spotlight dancing

With the night

When I fell off your mind

I'm tired of trying

Your teasing ain't enough

Fed up of biding, your time

When I don't get nothing back

And for what? And for what? And for what?

When I don't get nothing back

Boy, I'm tired

Where do you go when you stay behind?

I looked up and inside down

And outside only to find

A double taking punching hard

And laughing at my smile

I get closer, you obviously prefer her

I'm tired of trying

Your teasing ain't enough

Fed up of biding, your time

When I don't get nothing back

And for what? And for what? And for what?

When I don't get nothing back

Boy, I'm tired of trying

Your teasing ain't enough

Fed up of biding, your time

When I don't get nothing back

And for what? And for what? And for what?

When I don't get nothing back

Boy, I'm tired

(I should have known)

Never mind, said your open arms

I couldn't help belive they trick me

Back into them, even though

I'm tired of trying

Your teasing ain't enough

Fed up of biding, your time

When I don't get nothing back

And for what? And for what? And for what?

When I don't get nothing back

Boy, I'm tired of trying

Your teasing ain't enough

Fed up of biding, your time

When I don't get nothing back

And for what? And for what? And for what?

When I don't get nothing back

Boy, I'm tired

HOMETOWN GLORY

(Adele Adkins)

I've been walking in the same way as I did

Missing out the cracks in the pavement

And tutting my heel and strutting my feet

Is there anything I can do for you, dear?

Is there anyone I could call?

No and thank you, please madam

I ain't lost, just wandering

Round my hometown

Memories are fresh

Round my hometown

Oh, the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of this world

Are the wonders now

I like it in the city

When the air is so thick and opaque

I love to see everybody in short skirts

Shorts and shades

I like it in the city when two worlds collide

You get the people and the government

Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain't gonna stand, shit

Shows that we are united

Shows that we ain't gonna take it

Shows that we ain't gonna stand, shit

Shows that we are united

Round my hometown

Memories are fresh

Round my hometown

Oh, the people I've met

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of this world

Are the wonders of my world

Of my world, yeah

Of my world

Of my world, yeah

¡¡¡bis bald!!!
