Authenticity

The Foreign Exchange Authenticity Lyrics
1.The Last Fall

Loved you good,
And you rode a heart break in the sky!
Never could walk away
She's too easy on the eye
And I feel like a fool
For missing something that was never there
Wanna scream, wanna curse, wanna cry,
But I could not care.

I told myself that this will be
The last time that I ever fall in love again!
Ever fall in love again!
Ever fall in love again!
Love is worst than an excuse
And the best thing is to chose
So what is the use of never fall in love again?
Never fall in love again!

All the days I stood by your side,
Now I'm standing...
And to say I'll always reside
In your heart but we both know you're over it
Why didn't you play it by the rules?
Why did you need to be so cruel?
Maybe your reasons are not meant to understand.

I told myself that this will be
The last time that I will ever fall in love again
Ever fall in love again!
Ever fall in love again!
Love isn't worst than an excuse
And the best thing is to chose
So what is the use of never fall in love again?
Never fall in love again!

I told myself that this will be
The last time that I will ever fall in love again
Never fall in love again!
Never fall in love again!
Love is worst than an excuse
And the best thing is to chose
So what is the use of never fall in love again?
Never fall in love again!


2.Authenticity

I could confess that you're not enough,
And that with others you must share,
But when I've reached for you in night,
I know you wouldn't be there!
I could... all my thoughts to you,
The darkest corners of my heart
But would you praise me for my honesty,
Or would you depart?

I don't know where I should be!
This game we play is killing me.
She's all that I could dream,
But she tears me apart.
She wants me to feel her need,
She begs for authenticity,
You don't want truth from me,
You just want what you want!

If you could see into the future, love
And all the help we haven't stored
Would you agree to sail with me,
Or just remain on the shore?
Just remain on the shore...
Get what you're waiting for!

You asked me for the whole truth,
But for that you're not prepared.
Refuse to be your enemy, your fantasies of despair!


3.Eyes To The Sky

I was in bed
Eyes to the sky
Tears on my face and I thought about
Everything, everything, everything, everything

Grey skies ahead
God knows I've tried
To look away and forget about
Everything, everything, everything, everything

And the light of the moon seems to darken
And the rays of the sun aren't as bright
I need a sign
That I've not lost my mind again

How did I lose my way?
What have I become?
Am I running to you or just running from everything?


4.All Roads


5.Fight For Love

All this time I had it wrong*
But now I truly see
The road you're choosing.
See the writings on the wall
Tells me I'm losing you
And there's nothing for me to do
Cause our greatest fears came true.
I finally got a clearer view

I don't wanna be a soldier anymore!
Because the war never ends
And no one ever wins
I don't understand why we should fight for love?
Either it ain't or it is!
It either ain't or it is!

I guess that I am not as strong
As I pretend to be.
It's so confusing
And if I thought you would change tomorrow
I still would be choosing to
Run away and just start brand new.
The lucky ones they are so few
Then I guess they are unlike me and you
Me and you


No, I cannot believe
That I won't ever love again!


6.Maybe She'll Dream Of Me

(Phonte - singing)
Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah
Oohohooh baby
ohohohyeah

Wondering if
A face that wears a smile like yours
Has ever heard a no before
Such a beauty and a blessing
And if no one else is telling
I will I will
Wondering if
A man like me could swallow his pride
Would you stay with me and stand by my side
And let nothing come between it
Girl you know I really mean it
For real for real for real

Chorus
When she lays down at night
I wonder what she sees
When she thinks of paradise
Maybe she'll dream of me
So every night I pray
That when she goes to sleep
And she dreams of a love
Maybe she'll dream of me

(Phonte - singing)
Just imagine the possibilities (talking about the possibilities)
If you would only let down your guard
I always say my love is easy babe
You don't have to make it so hard (so hard yeah)
I know you wont nothing else
But you can try and tell yourself its all a game (all a game)
I know you been only wishing
For a love that goes the distance
Call my name
Cause I am in love with you

Chorus

(Phonte - rapping)
I'm thinking that your outta my league
Walking round looking like something right outta my dreams
People saying me and you was like the finest cheerleader
Going with the dude that got picked last for the team
But desire is a miraculously thing
When your soul get ravenous
All you want is just a little happiness
And you would gladly grab it from the average things
No matter how it'll look or how absurd that it seems
So its important to stay to when its workin ya mean?
Even if your perfect person is alerted by screams
And was wasn't and wows and how are they together man I just
can't believe
This is something that the old G's called composure
Keep me in mind
Baby you are my star and I no realigned
Sweet candy for me and my dreaming eyes
And when I lay down at night maybe you'll be in mind
Know what I'm sayin?


7.Don't Wait


8.Make Me A Fool


9.Everything Must Go


10.Laughing At Your Plans

Lay down baby please don't say a word*
Dry your tears, I guess by now you've heard
That I'm leaving again
One more day and I'll be in the sky
So far away from life with you and I
The place I can't pretend
To forget about the times that you send

That if you never take the time to
Breathe in and look inside you
If you're lost, I'll try to find you and remind you of the ways
That you feel when this all some one day

Now maybe now you'll understand
That God is laughing at your plans
What will be will be
Why don't come inside my friend
Out of the rain and maybe then
You'll see what I see

He plays until the sun goes down
And falls asleep to the sound of a song
That he says reminds him of you
And when he smiles they say that he looks just like you
Just walking around like the world is a stage
'Cause that's all a young man can do
When his heroes now around

And if you never take the time to
Breathe in and look inside you
If you're lost, I'll try to find you and remind you of the ways
That you feel when this all ends some day

Now maybe now you'll understand
That God is laughing at your plans
What will be will be
Why don't come inside my friend
Out of the rain and maybe then
You'll see what I see

See what I see (what I see)


11.This City Ain't The Same Without You

it was cold outside so i thought i'd get away
to the one place
where i'd be warm

spend my last few dollars on a ticket to fly
oh i'ma take a jet plane, to carry me straight to your arms
and when the wheels touch down i'll call for you
so baby i'm here all for you
and you'll let me know
that you have heard

and made me wonder baby i'm still in love
and then i thought to myself, maybe we never were

and i've only got myself to blame
but baby these skies with your name
and it's a crying shame 'cause this city aint the same without
you babe
the streets where we walked hand in hand
sharing our dreams making our plans
but no one understands 'cause this city aint the same without
you babe

and i was waiting for your invitation
thinking maybe you would send one
you could have left me at any town
any town but this one
but now that you've gone away
it feels like what we had wasn't real at all
listen to your heart beat while the city sleeps away

and i've only got myself to blame
but baby these skies with your name
and it's a crying shame 'cause this city aint the same without
you babe
i'll kiss the wind and breathe your air
and all this loneliness i'll bear
but it seems so unfair because this city aint the same without
you babe

... letting you go, letting you go
this city aint the same without you babe
... letting you go, letting you go
this city aint the same without you babe

spend my last few dollars on a ticket to fly
gonna take a jet plane, to carry me straight to your arms
