Artificial Paradise Lyrics

[Verse]
Dream, is it only just a dream
That we're living, that we're living?
Dream, there's a ghost in the machine
Is it fiction that we're living?
 
[Chorus]
Oh-ooh, is it artificial paradise?
Oh-ooh, if it's with you, I don't even mind
 
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, ooh
 
[Outro]
Oh-ooh, is it a dream, is it only just a dream
That we're living, that we're living?

Sink or Swim Lyrics

[Intro]
Are we gonna sink or swim?
Tide's gettin' high, and we might go under
Thinkin' we should jump right in
'Cause if we don't now, then we'll always wonder
 
[Verse 1]
Feelin' like a drop in the ocean
These days I've been
Swimmin' through a mix of emotions
But hey
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Even if the sun burns out, stars fall down
I'ma be there with you
Even when our heads get loud
Thinkin' 'bout how we gon' make it through
 
[Chorus]
Tell me, are we gonna sink or swim?
Tide's gettin' high, yeah, we might go under
Thinkin' we should jump right in
'Cause if we don't now, then we'll always wonder
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Jumpin' right in, yeah, we jumpin' right in, oh, ayy
Are we gonna sink or swim?
Tides gettin' high, and we might go under
 
 
[Verse 2]
I, I wanna know (Wanna know) are we gettin' close or we driftin' farther?
I won't let you go in the undertow, no, no, no
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Even if the sun burns out, stars fall down
I'ma be there with you
Even when our heads get loud
Thinkin' 'bout are we gonna make it through?
 
[Chorus]
Tell me, are we gonna sink or swim?
Tides gettin' high, yeah, we might go under
Thinkin' we should jump right in
'Cause if we don't now, then we'll always wonder
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Jumpin' right in, yeah, we jumpin' right in, oh, ayy
Are we gonna sink or swim?
Tides gettin' high, and we might go under
 
[Post-Chorus]
Are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna sink or swim?
Are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna sink or swim?
Are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna?
Yeah, we're jumpin' right in
Are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna?
 
 
[Outro]
Are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna sink or swim?
Are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna?

I Ain’t Worried Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know what you've been told
But time is running out, no need to take it slow
I'm stepping to you toe-to-toe
I should be scared, honey, maybe so
 
[Chorus]
But I ain't worried 'bout it right now (Right now)
Keeping dreams alive, 1999, heroes
I ain't worried 'bout it right now (Right now)
Swimmin' in the floods, dancing on the clouds below
 
[Post-Chorus]
I ain't worried 'bout it
I ain't worried 'bout it (Hey)
 
[Verse 2]
I don't know what you've been told
But time is running out so spend it like it's gold
I'm living like I'm nine-zeros
Got no regrets even when I am broke (Yeah)
I'm at my best when I got something I'm wanting to steal
Way too busy for them problems and problems to feel (Yeah, yeah)
No stressing, just obsessing with sealing the deal
I'll take it in and let it go
 
 
[Chorus]
But I ain't worried 'bout it right now (Right now)
Keeping dreams alive, 1999, heroes
I ain't worried 'bout it right now (Right now)
Swimmin' in the floods, dancing on the clouds below
 
[Post-Chorus]
I ain't worried 'bout it
I ain't worried 'bout it (Hey)
 
[Bridge]
Ooh, I ain't worried
Ooh, oh, no, no
 
[Chorus]
I ain't worried 'bout it right now (Right now)
Keeping dreams alive, 1999, heroes
I ain't worried 'bout it right now (Right now)
Swimmin' in the floods, dancing on the clouds below
 
[Post-Chorus]
I ain't worried 'bout it (Ooh, hey)
I ain't worried 'bout it (Ooh, hey)
 
[Outro]
I ain't worried 'bout it

West Coast Lyrics

[Intro]
I've been dreamin' 'bout the West Coast (I've been dreamin')
Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)
Give me the Sun for just a year
I'll kiss the sky and disappear
 
[Verse 1]
I've been starin' up at the greyest skies
Tryna find myself some luck, but it's runnin' dry
It's like the weather makes the worst of my cloudy mind
I could really use a dose of some paradise
Sometimes you gotta run from a broken heart
Before I turn into a ghost, need a brand new start
Get myself headed to the coast, man, it ain't that far
Yeah, they got sun in L.A. and some shinin' stars
 
[Chorus]
I've been dreamin' 'bout the West Coast (I've been dreamin')
Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)
Seein' signs for California
Trade the shade for somethin' warmer
I've been dreamin' 'bout the West Coast (I've been dreamin')
Where the people take it real slow (I've been dreamin' about it)
I need the Sun for just a year
I'll kiss the sky and disappear
 
 
[Verse 2]
Ain't felt a drop now for forty days
But still they're washing cars and they don't show any age
Ain't nothin' that you want'll cost you more than time
If you're tryna find yourself, better get in line
I'm countin' up my money and spendin' to get it right
Got the future in my pocket, I'm spendin' it all tonight
Like a prophet with the vision, I finally see the light
And you know
 
[Chorus]
I've been dreamin' 'bout the West Coast (I've been dreamin')
Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)
Seein' signs for California
Trade the shade for somethin' warmer
I've been dreamin' 'bout the West Coast (I've been dreamin')
Where the people take it real slow (I've been dreamin' about it)
I need the Sun for just a year
I'll kiss the sky and disappear
(The West Coast)
 
[Bridge]
Glitter nights under starry skies
All I wanna do is fly
Take me where the Sun shines bright, yeah
 
 
[Refrain]
I've been dreamin' 'bout the West Coast
Time to find myself a new glow
I need the Sun for just a year
I'll kiss the sky and disappear
 
[Chorus]
I've been dreamin' 'bout the West Coast (I've been dreamin')
Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)
Seein' signs for California
Trade the shade for somethin' warmer
I've been dreamin' 'bout the West Coast (I've been dreamin')
Where the people take it real slow (I've been dreamin' about it)
I need the Sun for just a year
I'll kiss the sky and disappear

Sunshine Lyrics

[Chorus]
Runnin' through this strange life
Chasin' all them green lights
Throwin' out the shade for a little bit of sunshine
Hit me with them good vibes
Pictures on my phone like
Everything is so fine
A little bit of sunshine
 
[Verse 1]
Crazy lately I'm confirmin'
Tryna write myself a sermon
You just tryna get a word in, life is not fair
I've been workin' on my tunnel vision
Tryna get a new prescription
Takin' swings and even missin' but I don't care
 
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm dancin' more, just a little bit
Breathin' more, just a little bit
Care a little less, just a little bit
Like life is woo-hoo
I'm makin' morе, just a little bit
Spend a little morе to get rid of it
Smile a little more and I'm into it
 
 
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I-I've been runnin' through this strange life
Chasin' all them green lights
Throwin' out the shade for a little bit of sunshine
Hit me with them good vibes
Pictures on my phone like
Everything is so fine
A little bit of sunshine
 
[Post-Chorus]
A little bit of sunshine (Yeah)
A little bit of sunshine
 
[Verse 2]
Another day, another selfish moment
I've been feelin' helpless
Sick of seein' all the selfies, now I don't care
Found myself a new vocation
Calibrated motivation
No more static, change the station
Head to somewhere
 
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm dancin' more, just a little bit
Breathin' more, just a little bit
Care a little less, just a little bit
Like life is woo-hoo
I'm makin' more, just a little bit
Spend a little more to get rid of it
Smile a little more and I'm into it
 
 
[Chorus]
But honestly man, lately I've been
I, I've been runnin' through this strange life
Chasin' all them green lights
Throwin' out the shade for a little bit of sunshine
Hit me with them good vibes
Pictures on my phone like
Everything is so fine
A little bit of sunshine
 
[Post-Chorus]
A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of sunshine
 
[Bridge]
I don't really know any other way to say this
Can't slow down, tryna keep up with the changes
Punch that number in the name when I clock in
And now I feel like Michael with a cane when I walk in
Basically, life is the same thing
Unless you don't want the same thing
Probably shoulda went and got a feature, but I didn't
I've been savin' up the money 'cause it's better for the business
 
[Chorus]
I, I've been runnin' through this strange life
Chasin' all them green lights
Throwin' off the shade for a little bit of sunshine (Yeah)
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
A little bit of sunshine (Oh, yeah)
A little bit of sunshine

Mirage Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ryan Tedder]
Ayy, yeah, I look for drama
Yeah, I'm chasing karma
Seen some things that other people can't see
Yeah, I'm motivated
Yeah, I'm underrated
Watch the imitators lookin' like me
 
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
This life's like a fantasy
Everyone wants to be on (On)
Reach out for the things I need
But is it all just a mirage?
 
[Post-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
Is it just a mirage?
Is it just a mirage?
Just a mirage
 
[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder]
Yeah, I look for drama
Yeah, I'm chasing karma
Seen some things that other people can't see
Yeah, I'm on a mission
I don't need permission
Living like I'll hit a hundred and three
 
 
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
This life's like a fantasy
Everyone wants to be on (On)
Reach out for the things I need
But is it all just a mirage?
 
[Post-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
Is it just a mirage?
Is it just a mirage?
Is it just a mirage?
 
[Bridge: Mishaal Tamer]
كلنا نغير الجو
كلنا نقوي الضو
‫قلت صاحبي تحت To the floor
جوة بس راح ضوضو
كلنا نغير الجو (كلنا)
كلنا نقوي الضو (كلنا)
‫قلت صاحبي تحت To the floor
جوة بس راح ضوضو
 
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
This life's like a fantasy
Everyone wants to be on (On)
Reach out for the things I need
But is it all just a mirage?
Is it just a mirage?
