You said you’re perfect for me Then you said you didn’t mean it Well nobody is perfect So I’d never believe it But you’re doing a pretty good job at convincing me Said you’d been waiting two years to fall in love As if a shooting star will hit you from the heavens above It doesn’t work that way, it doesn’t work that way baby And I’ll be here in America Or we could travel the world We could be one in the sun Or just another girl You took me by surprise With your sparkly eyes Oh god I hate goodbyes You got a lot to learn But you’re smart for your age And from what I can read We’re on the same page And it looks like you got some tricks up your sleeve Hey beautiful person Hey dreamy face You got me floating on a magic rug in outer space Why did you have to go home Why did I have to leave And I’ll be here in America Or we could travel the world We could be one in the sun Or am I just another girl Oh you took me by surprise With your sparkly eyes Oh God I hate goodbyes TC your face is so dreamy Oh TC your face is so dreamy I’ll be here in America Or we could travel the world We could be one in the sun Or am I just another girl Oh you took me by surprise With your sparkly eyes Oh God I hate goodbyes Oh what a good surprise You got those sparkly eyes Oh God I hate goodbyes Oh what a good surprise You got those sparkly eyes Oh God I hate goodbyes

How to Run 02:01
My life before you was a fairy tale I bit the poison apple and wound up in jail And then you came along and set me free My knight in shining armour and ripped jeans And now you wanna keep me in captivity? Well that won't work for me I still know how to run I still know how to walk away I still know how to start again Baby you're my world, but there's a world outside And the harder you seek, the more I hide You know my fists are up when you hold to tight 'Cause hard to get is worth the fight You got a hold on me but I can hold my own And as far as I run I'll always take you home Nobody owns me, but baby, I'll give you a loan I still know how to run I still know how to walk away I still know how to start again You know every new thing is some thing's end I still know how to leave It doesn't mean I don't believe That you'll be running right beside me Don't try to hide baby trust in me I still know how to run I still know how to walk away I still know how to start again I still know how to leave It doesn't mean I don't believe That you'll be running right beside me Don't try to hide baby trust in me

I'll be your Northern star I'll light the way I'll take you through the dark Til the light of day I'll be your Northern star When the Southern Cross led you home You were happy to be alone And now that you have me here The stars could disappear I'll be your Northern star Your friend above Imprisoned by Forbidden love I'll be your Northern star When the Southern Cross led you home You were happy to be alone And now that you have me here The stars could disappear When Orion was your man His belt gripped tight in your hand I was hiding behind the moon Ready to make you swoon I would steal all the stars from the sky for you I would steal all the stars from the sky for you I would steal all the stars from the sky for you I would steal all the stars When the Southern Cross led you home You were happy to be alone And now that you have me here The stars could disappear When Orion was your man His belt gripped tight in your hand I was hiding behind the moon Ready to make you swoon Back home in the Milky Way I waited each night for a thousand days And now that I have you here The stars could disappear

I'm seeing other people It's what you wanted us to do But it's out of my system Been around this block a time or two I could spend these hours Saving money and saving my pride Buying plane tickets and taking a ride On your love If you could give it all to me Give it all to me Give it all to me ooh How many notches on your bedpost Are you looking for I've done my share of playing games and keeping score Are you crunching the numbers? I see you looking at me Do you wanna know me better, Or do you love me? And could you give it all to me Give it all to me Give it all to me Oooh There was a time when I wanted What you say you need Always living for lust It was party or bust Had my cake and hers too And now I just want you To give it all to me Give it all to me Give it all to me Oooh Give it all to me I'd give it all to you Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh If things were different If you were older If I wasn't so far away So far away Would you give it all to me Give it all to me Give it all to me ooooh Give it all to me I'd give it all to you ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Baby why you so angry You're the one who hurt me You're the one fooling around I'm the one who's lonely Why you acting so crazy Do you think that I've been lying You're the one bending the rules I'm the one who should be crying It was a take it or leave it kinda situation Started out as an innocent, lovers' vacation How quickly things change when you're looking I'm a slut for experience and you are just a slut Me too I guess, please don't get defensive - let's discuss All the ins and the outs of the things that stand between us Baby why you so angry You're the one who hurt me You're the one fooling around I'm the one who's lonely Why you acting so crazy Do you think that I've been lying You're the one bending the rules I'm the one who should be crying 'Cause love don't cost a thing except a diamond ring A lot of pride, a lot of words that might cause a sting All the restaurants and flowers and big data plans To show me you're my baby and I'm your man Here we are so far from that night in your car And the fog on the glass, and baby that ass I'd do anything for you, keep it honest and true But honestly you're killing me I'm not immune to jealousy Baby Oh baby Why you so angry Why you so Why you so - do you think that I've been lying Do you think that I've been lying You're the one bending the rules I'm the one who should be crying Oh baby why you so angry Why you so angry Why you so Why you so - do you think that I've been lying Do you think that I've been lying You're the one bending the rules You're the one You're the one Oh baby

I tried to stop writing about you Cause it was feeling like a one way street But the lines just write themselves And play out on repeat I don't know if I want the same things The things that you're looking for I know exactly how you feel But I don't feel that way anymore You say you want more Somehow it feels like less You say you want more Somehow it feels like less Maybe one day you'll show these songs To some other girl Just like you showed me the words That your love inspired before You see, I've had my share Of break and repair One for every line on my face It's a wonder that I have no grey hair You say you want more Somehow it feels like less You say you want more Somehow it feels like less My God I never spent so much time on the telephone I've never been honest - what happened, I was happy alone Now I'm learning new things Like how to really compromise Just for another chance to look at your pretty eyes You say you want more Somehow it feels like less I would just run away But I like you, I like you the best You say you want more I'm not stopping you You say you want more So I'm doing it to Remember when you were in LA With your girlfriend and her best friend, Renée I know you hate to hear that name But I don't think she deserves all the blame There's a little bit for me and you And a little for Laura too But today is a brand new day So fuck those bitches anyway You say you want more Somehow it feels like less You say you want more Somehow it feels like less You say you want more I'm not stopping you You say you want more So I'm doing it too You say you want more Somehow it feels like less You say you want more Somehow it feels like less You say you want more I'm not stopping you You say you want more So I'm doing it too So I'm doing it too

Can't sleep Thinkin of you With her She's spending money like there's no tomorrow She's getting wasted to forget her sorrow Can't sleep Missin you With me Wish I could tell what you're thinking right now What the hell are you thinking right now What am I supposed to do about the way I feel for you I don't want another So why should I bother But I'm so far away from you and this is not enough for you Or is it? Baby, what is it I thought that we were having fun Just a little dance behind the sun I thought that we were having fun And now the hurt's begun Can't sleep Bad dreams Good ones too I don't want a minute if you're not in it Thanks for the pictures to help me revisit Can't sleep Want you Right now I gotta have you and I don't know how Pick up the phone, walk my hand south What am I supposed to do about the way I feel for you I don't want another So why should I bother? And I'm so far away from you and this is not enough for you Or is it? Baby what is it I thought that we were having fun Just a little dance behind the sun I thought that we were having fun I thought that we were having fun Just a little dance behind the sun I thought that we were having fun I thought that we were having fun Just a little dance behind the sun I thought that we were having fun And now the hurt's begun

They say you play rock n roll so you're living the dream Except for when you hit the bank machine So it really hurts when you gotta cancel the show And tell everyone to stay at home 'Cause they say there's a bug and it's getting around People are dead and the border's shut down It kinda feels like an apocalypse Is anybody anybody ready for this C-O-V-I-D-19 Why you gotta kill my dreams C-C-C-C-O-V-I-D-19 Deliver me from this bad dream Oh I made a new record it was starting to sell It felt like things were finally going well And my girlfriend, she was gonna get on a plane And come for a tour of the USA But they locked her out and they locked me in Now we're unemployed and crying And Trudeau said, "Come home" as fast as you can So I'm packing up my minivan C-O-V-I-D-19 Why you gotta kill my dreams C-C-C-C-O-V-I-D-19 Deliver me Deliver me C-O-V-I-D-19 Why you gotta kill my dreams C-C-C-C-O-V-I-D-19 Deliver me from this bad dream Deliver me Deliver me Deliver me from this bad dream

Every time that I turn around There's an old man telling me how I've done everything wrong Every time that I turn around There is someone telling me how I've done everything wrong How can I go on Clock is ticking Where did I go wrong Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every day I look to the sun and I fall to my knees in the dark as it all turns to black It's not like I'm the only one - it's a terrible place in the light when you're under attack How can I go on I can't take it Where did I go wrong Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every day I lose my way How can I take it I can't take it I can't take it I can't take it I can't Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every time that I turn around I make another mistake Every day I lose my way How can I take it I can't take it I can't take it I can't take it I can't Every time that I turn around I make another mistake

You're so good at what you do Success will come so easy for you You're so easy to love Your heart will never be blue Say it a thousand more times Can you make it come true I fantasize, I visualize, I try to see through all the lies, I do Still it comes Like a hand held deep in the flame I try to take the heat But I get burnt the same It's not a self-fulfilling prophecy I promise I try I work hard to be positive I wish on every star in the sky And I say today is gonna be the day it all gets better My heart and soul and spirit are as light as a feather I'm strong enough to get through any stormy weather And the sun is gonna shine for me They always say it's not the end of the world Well no one's saying that now The casualties are adding up So close the curtain please take a bow Or set your mind to manifest It's only a test Or an everyday reminder of your total insignificance Still it comes Like a poison And it's eating my guts I try to spit it out It only gets more stuck It's not a self-fulfilling prophecy I promise I try I work hard to be positive I wish on every star in the sky And I say today is gonna be the day it all gets better My heart and soul and spirit are as light as a feather I'm strong enough to get through any stormy weather And the sun is gonna shine for me And this is gonna be the year I finally make it Sell a million records, buy a house and take it Easy on myself for the rest of my life Get a diamond on my hand I'll be a real good wife And my love and I will never have a reason to fight It all just seems to work out when you get it right We'll have a couple babies and a dog and cat Start a charity for kids who lost their moms and dads Yeah this is gonna be the day it all gets better My heart and soul and spirit are as light as a feather I'm strong enough to get through any stormy weather And the sun is gonna shine for me

about

Sarah Burton Austin, Texas

Burton’s career started in 2006 with a broken heart, a broken down van, and a haphazard tour across Canada in a van named Lucky. This set the tone for an artist life driven by adventure, spontaneity, and a desire to connect with people from all walks of life. ... more
