Human by OneRepublic - Album Lyrics & Tracks

[Verse 1]

When I was a young boy living in the city

All I did was run, run, run, run, run

Staring at the lights, they look so pretty

Mama said "Son, son, son, son, son

You're gonna grow up, you're gonna get old

All that glitters don't turn to gold

But until then just have your fun

Boy, run, run, run, run, run"

 

[Refrain]

Yeah, run, run, run

Run, run, run

 

[Verse 2]

When I was a young kid living in the city

All I did was pay, pay, pay, pay, pay

And every single dime that good Lord gave me

I could make it last three, four, five days

Living it up but living down low

Chasing that luck before I get old

And looking back, oh, we had some fun

Boy, run, run, run, run, run

 

[Chorus]

They tell you that the sky might fall

They'll say that you might lose it all

So I run until I hit that wall

Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings

Look to the rising sun and run, run, run

Yeah, one day well the sky might fall

Yеah, one day I could lose it all

So I run until I hit that wall

If I learnеd one lesson, count your blessings

Look to the rising sun and run, run, run

 

 

[Refrain]

Run, run, run

 

[Verse 3]

Didn't get everything that I wanted

But I got what I need, yeah, yeah

I see that light in the morning

Shining down on me

So take me up high, take me down low

Where it all ends nobody knows

But until then let's have some fun

Yeah, run, run, run, run, run

 

[Chorus]

They tell you that the sky might fall

They'll say that you might lose it all

So I run until I hit that wall

Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings

Look to the rising sun and run, run, run

Yeah, one day well the sky might fall

Yeah, one day I could lose it all

So I run until I hit that wall

If I learned one lesson, count your blessings

Look to the rising sun and run, run, run

 

[Refrain]

Run, run, run

Yeah, run, run, run

 

 

[Outro]

Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings

Look to the rising sun

Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings

Look to the rising sun

Yeah, if I learned one lesson, count your blessings

Look to the rising sun, yeah, run, run, run

[Verse 1]

I don't wanna only call your name when I'm brokenhearted, yeah

I already know how much I've got to lose, oh, ooh-oh, oh

I don't wanna have to crash and burn to be where we started, yeah

I don't wanna ever need a map to you, oh

 

[Pre-Chorus]

I've run so far, been so high

I'll chase the sun 'til our time

 

[Chorus]

But I ain't gonna keep my distance from you

Yeah, I already know what distance can do

If I let you get away, bury me today

Yeah, I ain't gonna keep my distance from you (Oh, yeah)

 

[Verse 2]

I'm so good at walls, good at lies, putting up my fences, oh, yeah

I'm human as it gets when it comes to you, oh, yeah

Looking in the mirror, seeing a man with a million faces, ooh, no

But every single one, they know the truth

 

[Chorus]

But I ain't gonna keep my distance from you

Yeah, I already know what distance can do

If I let you get away, bury me today

Yeah, I ain't gonna keep my distance from you

 

 

[Instrumental Break]

 

[Pre-Chorus]

I've run so far, been so high

I'll chase the sun 'til our time

 

[Chorus]

But I ain't gonna keep my distance from you

Yeah, I already know what distance can do

If I let you get away, bury me today

Yeah, I ain't gonna keep my distance from you (Oh, yeah)

[Chorus]

Would you rescue me? Would you get my back?

Would you take my call when I start to crack?

Would you rescue me? Ah, would you rescue me?

Would you rescue me when I'm by myself?

When I need your love? If I need your help?

Would you rescue me? Ah, would you rescue me?

 

[Verse 1]

We don't talk much, not anymore

Broken bottles and slammin' doors

But we still care about each other

Say we care about each other

I know life took us far away

But I still dream 'bout the good old days

When we took care of each other

We were livin' for each other

 

[Pre-Chorus]

But I start to wonder, wonder

If I'm slipping under, under (Oh, oh)

 

[Chorus]

Would you rescue me? Would you get my back?

Would you take my call when I start to crack?

Would you rescue me? Ah, would you rescue me?

Would you rescue me when I'm by myself?

When I need your love, if I need your help

Would you rescue me? Ah, would you rescue me?

Would you rescue me? Would you get my back?

Would you take my call when I start to crack?

Would you rescue me? Ah

Would you rescue me? (Would you rescue me?)

Would you rescue me when I'm by myself?

When I need your love, if I need your help

Would you rescue me? Ah, would you rescue me?

 

 

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I miss all the times we had

Can't forget what you can't get back

And you can't find it in another

Man, time, it ain't your lover

I don't care what you thought before

I'll be there anytime you call

Don't you ever call another

No need to call another

 

[Pre-Chorus]

And I start to wonder, wonder

If I'm slipping under, under (Oh, oh)

 

[Chorus]

Would you rescue me? Would you get my back?

Would you take my call when I start to crack?

Would you rescue me? Ah

Would you rescue me? (Would you rescue me?)

Would you rescue me when I'm by myself?

When I need your love, if I need your help

Would you rescue me? Ah, would you rescue me? (Yeah)

 

[Bridge]

Would you rescue me?

Oh, rescue me (Would you rescue me?)

Would you rescue me? (When I'm by myself?)

(When I need your love, if I need your help)

Oh, rescue me

(Would you rescue me? Ah, would you rescue me?)

 

 

[Chorus]

Would you rescue me? Would you get my back?

Would you take my call when I start to crack?

Would you rescue me? Ah, would you rescue me?

Would you rescue me when I'm by myself?

When I need your love, if I need your help

Would you rescue me? Ah, would you rescue me?

[Chorus]

I forgot about you

I forgot about what you said

I forgot about what you did

I forgot about you

I forgot about you

I forgot about everything

And I ain't lookin' back your way

I forgot about you

 

[Verse 1]

I would run through fire for you even if it tore me up

Kill myself to satisfy you, but it was never good enough

Every time I needed you to catch me, you would always let me fall

So love me, hate me, burn me, blame me

I don't really care at all

 

[Chorus]

I forgot about you

I forgot about what you said

I forgot about what you did

I forgot about you ('Bout you)

I forgot about you (Woo)

I forgot about everything

And I ain't lookin' back your way

I forgot about you (Yeah, yeah)

I forgot about you

I forgot about what you said

I forgot about what you did

I forgot about you ('Bout you)

I forgot about you (Woo)

I forgot about everything

And I ain't lookin' back your way

I forgot about you, 'bout you, 'bout you, 'bout you

 

 

[Verse 2]

I thought that I would die without you

But now I'm feeling more alive

I hope you're out there dancing somewhere

But that would be another lie

And I feel like maybe I should thank you if you ever try to call

So love me, hate me, burn me, blame me

I don't really care at all (I don't really care)

 

[Chorus]

I forgot about you

I forgot about what you said

I forgot about what you did

I forgot about you ('Bout you)

I forgot about you (Woo)

I forgot about everything

And I ain't lookin' back your way

I forgot about you (Yeah, yeah)

I forgot about you

I forgot about what you said

I forgot about what you did

I forgot about you ('Bout you)

I forgot about you (Woo)

I forgot about everything

And I ain't lookin' back your way

I forgot about you, 'bout you, 'bout you, 'bout you

 

 

[Bridge]

I finally see the things I used to never see before

Thought you were everything until I knew I needed more

I wished you well, I walked away, so what you waiting for?

What you waiting for?

 

[Chorus]

I forgot about you

I forgot about what you said

I forgot about what you did

I forgot about you

I forgot about you (Woo)

I forgot about everything

And I ain't lookin' back your way

I forgot about you (You, you, you)

I forgot about you

I forgot about what you said

I forgot about what you did

I forgot about you ('Bout you)

I forgot about you (Woo)

I forgot about everything

And I ain't lookin' back your way

I forgot about you, 'bout you, 'bout you, 'bout you

 

[Outro]

(You)

Forgot about you, 'bout you, 'bout you

[Verse 1]

Never could imagine the way the story happened

You with someone new

I used to be your focus, now you don't even notice

When I leave the room

 

[Pre-Chorus]

You weren't even tryin' to make me jealous

But you can't help it, you can't help it

 

[Chorus]

And it kills me to know that you found

Somebody to love, somebody to love

Tell me how can I go on without

Somebody to love, somebody to love

Somebody to love

Somebody to love

Somebody to

 

[Verse 2]

They say that love comes easy

Whenever it comes easy and I see it on your face

I don't want you to be lonely

But right now, I'm the only one who feels this way

 

[Pre-Chorus]

And I ain't even tryin' to make you miss me, make you miss me

I know we're history

 

 

[Chorus]

But it kills me to know that you found

Somebody to love, somebody to love

Tell me how can I go on without

Somebody to love, somebody to love

Somebody to love

Somebody to love

 

[Interlude]

Somebody to

(Some-bo-dy-to-love-some-bo)

Somebody to

(Wooo)

 

[Pre-Chorus]

You weren't even tryin' to make me jealous

But you can't help it, you can't help it

 

[Chorus]

And it kills me to know that you found

Somebody to love, somebody to love

Tell me how can I go on without

Somebody to love, somebody to love

Somebody to love

Somebody to love

 

 

[Outro]

I used to be your focus, now you don't even notice

When I leave the room

[Verse 1]

She said, "Every time I close my eyes I feel like I could disappear

I could overflow an ocean with the cavalcade of all my tears

And I know I sound dramatic, but that's just how it feels"

She said, "I'm holdin' to the notion that I'll find something real"

 

[Chorus]

Yeah, I just want to be wanted, oh

I could use a little love sometimes

I just need to be needed, oh

Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind

I just want to be someone that somebody needs

I just want to be more than a drop in the sea

I just want to be

 

[Verse 2]

She said, "I'm countin' up my karma and I think it's time to cash it in (Cash it in)

So tired of livin' in a shadow of a mountain of what might've been (Might've been)

And I know I sound dramatic, but that's just how it feels

I've been looking for somebody to tell me that I'm real"

 

[Chorus]

I just want to be wanted (Oh)

I could use a little love sometimes

I just need to be needed (Oh)

Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind

I just want to be someone that somebody needs

I just want to be more than a drop in the sea

 

 

[Bridge]

I just want to be wanted

Oh yeah

We just want to be wanted

Ooh

 

[Outro]

I just want to be wanted

I could use a little love sometimes

I just need to be needed

Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind

[Verse 1]

I'm staring at the sudden waterfalls

Tears that don't make sense to me at all

This life's what happens when you're making plans

Don't know what happens next or where I stand

 

[Chorus]

Wanna live this wild life wild every day, woo

Wanna say the things people never say, woo

I'll take all the love and all the pain, yeah

Wanna live this wild life wild today

 

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, woo-ooh

Woo-ooh

Give me all your love and all your pain

Gon' live this wild life wild today

 

[Verse 2]

I'm staring at these faded signs ahead

But all these turns just fill me up with dread

But life's what happens when you're making plans, ooh

Dive or step right in, but please don't stand, oh

 

[Chorus]

Wanna live this wild life wild every day, woo

Wanna say the things people never say, woo

I'll take all the love and all the pain, yeah

Wanna live this wild life wild today

 

 

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, woo-ooh

Woo-ooh

Give me all your love and all your pain

Gon' live this wild life wild today
