Oh My My by OneRepublic - Album Lyrics & Tracks

[Verse 1]

Days are long, life's so short

It's a crazy world you and me call life

Taking off across the sea

Touchdown, city full of lights

Looked around when there is no one in the room

There's a bar and they call for me and you

Floating up like there's water underneath

From the desert to the shining sea

 

[Chorus]

Just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted

Just what I wanted, oh, my, my (Oh, my, my)

Look around, you're just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)

Just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)

Just what I wanted, I'm alright

I'm alright (Just what I wanted, just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted)

Oh my, my (Just what I wanted, just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted)

I'm alright, I'm alright

 

[Verse 2]

Days are long, life's so short

It's a crazy world, you and me we try

Taking off across the sea

Touchdown, festivals, the night

Looked around at the faces in the room

People shouting, they're saying parlez-vous

Floating up like there's water underneath

I'm the desert, you're the shining sea

 

 

[Chorus]

Just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted

Just what I wanted, oh, my, my (Oh, my, my)

Look around, you're just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)

Just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)

Just what I wanted, I'm alright

I'm alright (Just what I wanted, just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted)

Oh my, my (Just what I wanted, just what I wanted, you're just what I wanted)

I'm alright, I'm alright

 

[Bridge]

All that I've seen, I could feel it (I've been to so many places)

Show me your eyes (I've seen the brightest lights, the darkest nights)

All that I've seen (All the things that I have seen)

You are (I swear that you are) you are

 

[Chorus]

Just what I wanted (Come on, come on)

You're just what I wanted

All my life

I found you

You're just what I wanted (You are) Just what I wanted

All my life

Look around you (Oh, oh, come on)

Oh my, my (yeah)

 

 

[Outro]

Just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)

Just what I wanted (Just what I wanted)

You're just what I wanted all my life

Oh my, my

[Verse 1]

Days when

We'd fight, we'd fight 'til I would give in

Yeah, perfect disasters

We were reaching, reaching for the rafters, hey

 

[Pre-Chorus]

And on most of the days, we were searching for ways

To get up and get out of the town we were raised

Yeah, 'cause we were done

I remember

We were sleeping in cars, we were searching for Oz

We were burning cigars with the white plastics tips

'Til we saw the sun

But we said crazy things like

 

[Chorus]

I refuse to look back thinking days were better

Just because they're younger days

I don't know what's 'round the corner

Way I feel right now, I swear we'll never change

Back when we were kids

Swore we would never die

You and me were kids

Swear that we'll never die

 

 

[Verse 2]

Lights down

And we drive and we're drivin' just to get out

Yeah, perfect disasters

Yeah we were swinging, swinging from the rafters, hey

 

[Pre-Chorus]

We were dancing in cars, we were looking for Oz

We were naming the stars after people we knew

'Til we had to go

And we were saying things like

 

[Chorus]

I refuse to look back thinking days were better

Just because they're younger days

I don't know what's 'round the corner

Way I feel right now, I swear we'll never change

Back when we were kids

Swore we would never die

You and me were kids

Swear that we'll never die

 

[Bridge]

Nights when we kept dancing

Changing all our plans and

Making every day a holiday

Feel the years start burning

City lights, they're turning

But something 'bout this feels the same

 

 

[Chorus]

Back when we were kids

Swore we would never die

You and me were kids

Swear that we'll never die

 

[Outro]

I refuse to look back thinking days were better

Just because they're younger days

(You and me were kids)

I don't know what's 'round the corner

Way I feel right now, I swear we'll never change

You and me were kids

[Verse 1]

When I was younger

You told me I should get my shit together

You said life is a painting

But all your colors always bleed together

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Woo, all the times you said I wasn't just quite right

Woo, and all I was trying to do was search for a light

 

[Chorus]

When you said

"Looked for your sunshine, it's not there"

I told myself that I don't care

I found some new innovations

Might just be my imagination

But people can dream

 

[Verse 2]

When I was younger

You told me I should get my shit together

Because life is a painting

But you ain't trying to show me you ain't clever

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Woo, for all the times you said I wasn't just quite right

 

 

[Chorus]

When you said

"Looked for your sunshine, it's not there"

I told myself that I don't care

I found some new innovations

Might just be my imagination

People can dream

 

[Post-Chorus]

(People can dream)

Yeah

 

[Bridge]

In my dark, there's a light

It might've been just a dream

But in these dark days and nights

I'll be more than what you see

In my dark, there's a light

It might've been just a dream

But in these dark days and nights, dark days and nights

 

[Chorus]

Oh, when I was younger

You told me I should get my shit together (People can dream)

When I was younger

So why your colors always bleed together?

 

 

[Outro]

Uh, people can dream (Woo)

People can dream

People can dream

(Woo)

[Verse 1]

Well, I see breakfast on the table

And I can smell you in the halls

Lord knows I'd cry if I was able

But that won't get me through tomorrow

And no it's not like I was counting

Or thought that we'd run out of days

So I'll be holding onto something

Breathing the air you took away

 

[Chorus]

I, I'll keep a picture of you on the wall, of you on the wall

And choke on the memories

I'll keep a message of you if you call, of you if you call

And choke on the memories

Choke, choke, yeah

Choke, choke

 

[Verse 2]

Well, I've been looking for some new words

To say just how you got to me

I wrote some letters that I might burn

'Cause then you're not just history

And I see your clothes in the closet

I hear your phone ring in the drawer

I'm not hoping for an answer

I'm just knocking at your door, oh

 

 

[Chorus]

I keep a picture of you on the wall, of you on the wall

And choke on the memories

I'll keep a message of you if you call, of you if you call

Choke, choke, yeah

Choke, choke, yeah

I'll keep a picture of you on the wall, of you on the wall

And choke on the memories

I'll keep the message of you if you call, of you if you call

Choke, choke, yeah

Choke, choke, yeah

 

[Outro]

Well, I see breakfast on the table

And I can smell you in the halls

[Chorus]

I was born, born to love you

I was born, born to love you

 

[Verse 1]

Bust through the door said, "What's your name"

Looking for somebody and you match the shame

Now don't lie

Don't lie

You've seen the television and you know what's up

The world's going crazy and you might be stuck

So don't lie

So don't lie

 

[Pre-Chorus]

I said here, that's where I'll be living until my times up

Yeah, found someone to keep my head up

Yeah, trading darkness for the dawn

 

[Chorus]

I was born, born to love you

I was born, born to love you

 

[Verse 2]

Lost in the stars since she was a girl

She dreamt of a place, of a better world

It felt like sunlight

Tired of the days livin' in the dark

She ran to the place where the wild things are

It felt right

'Cause it felt right

 

 

[Pre-Chorus]

She said here is where I'll be living until my times up, yeah

Found my people now I’m made up, yeah

Always dark before the dawn

Always dark before the dawn

 

[Chorus]

I was born, born to love you

I was born, born to love you

 

[Outro]

I said here is where I'll be living until my time's up

I said here I found my people now I'm made up, yeah

I was born (I was born in the city, born and raised) to love you

I was born (I was born in the city all my friends are here)

I was born (I was born in the city, born and raised)

(I was born in the city, all my friends are here)

I was born (I was born inside) to love you

No, woo, I, woo, I…

[Chorus]

I know I could lie, but I'm telling the truth

Wherever I go, there's a shadow of you

I know I could try looking for something new

But wherever I go, I'll be looking for you

 

[Verse 1]

Some people lie, but they're looking for magic

Others are quietly going insane

I feel alive when I'm close to the madness

No easy love could ever make me feel the same

(Ooh)

 

[Chorus]

I know I could lie, but I won't lie to you

Wherever I go, you're the ghost in the room

I don't even try looking for something new

'Cause wherever I go, I'll be looking for you

 

[Verse 2]

Some people try, but they can't find the magic

Others get down on their knees and they pray

I come alive when I'm close to the madness

No easy love could ever make me feel the same

Make me feel the same

Make me feel the same, same, same

 

 

[Chorus]

I know I could lie, but I'm telling the truth

Wherever I go, there's a shadow of you

I know I could try looking for something new

But wherever I go, I'll be looking for you

Wherever I go, I'll be looking for you, you

 

[Bridge]

(Ooh, oh)

Some people pray to their god for some magic

'Cause no easy love could ever make them feel the same

No easy love could ever make me feel the same

Make me feel the same, same, same, yeah

 

[Chorus]

I know I could lie, but I'm telling the truth

Wherever I go, there's a shadow of you

I know I could try looking for something new

But wherever I go, I'll be looking for you

You think it's a lie when I'm telling the truth

Wherever I go, I'll be looking for you

 

[Outro]

Wherever I go, I'll be looking for you

Looking for you, looking for you

[Verse 1]

I'll be a fool when the sun's out

Burn you a fire when you burn out

And give you the future you gave away

And give you my youth for some million days

 

[Chorus]

I'll do all these things for you (Eh yeah)

Take what's broken, make it new (Oh yeah)

Yesterday's gone, yeah, it went away

I've been lost, but I'm here today

I'll do all these things for you (Oh yeah)

 

[Verse 2]

I'll be the drug that you can't buy

I'll tell you the truth when it's all lies, hey

I'll give you the future you gave away

I'll give you my youth for some million days

 

[Chorus]

I'll do all these things for you (Eh yeah)

Take what's broken, make it new (Oh yeah)

Yesterday's gone, yeah, it went away

I've been lost, but I'm here today

I'll do all these things for you (Oh yeah)

 

 

[Post-Chorus]

(Eh yeah)

Woo (Oh yeah)

 

[Bridge]

Something you trust for the first time, oh

Making it up for the last nights (Oh yeah)

Sucks to love when you just lie, oh

A couple of years and I'll have your soul and I (Woo)

 

[Chorus]

I'll do all these things for you, hey (Eh yeah)

Take what's broken, make it new (Oh yeah)

Yesterday's gone, yeah, it went away

I've been lost, but I'm here today

Said I'll do all these things for you (Oh yeah)

Yeah, I'll do all these things for you (You, oh yeah)

Said I'll do all these things for you, yeah (Oh yeah)

 

[Outro]

Ooh

Mm, yeah, yeah
