Back of a Taxi - Alannah McCready

Let's take the backstreet, though View from the backseat, whoa Mexico next week, go Don't call just text me, no Please don't forget me, no Please baby let me, go I don't regret it, though You never get me, wrong Wasted but happy, though Train station trapped me, oh Music kidnapped me, whoa I'm back in the taxi, now I tried to escape this maze I tried to displace this haze I tried to dissolve this taste When will the tapes be erased? Let's take the backstreet though View from the backseat, whoa I don't regret it, though You never get me, wrong

Lookin' back on the memory of The dance we shared Beneath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known That you'd ever say goodbye? And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end The way it all would go 'Cause my life is better left to chance I could've missed the pain But I'd have to miss the dance Holdin' you, I held everythin' For a moment Wasn't I the king? If I'd only known How the king would fall Then who's to say you know I might have changed it all And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end The way it all would go 'Cause my life is better left to chance I could've missed the pain But I'd have to miss the dance Yes our lives are better left to chance I could've missed the pain But I'd have to miss the dance

Speakin' of the devil Look who just walked in He knows just where to find me Here we go again I can tell he's gonna ask me to dance But that's not as far as he wants to go I need ten thousand angels to help me tell him no Lead me not into temptation Heaven help me to be strong I can fight all that I'm feelin' But I can't do it alone Help me break this spell that I'm under Guide my feet and hold me tight I need ten thousand angels watchin' over me tonight It's time to face my weakness Look him in the eye Lord knows it won't be easy But I've just gotta try I can't let myself get lost in his arms That's how I got my heart broke before I need ten thousand angels to walk me out the door Lead me not into temptation Heaven help me to be strong I can fight all that I'm feelin' But I can't do it alone Help me break this spell that I'm under Guide my feet and hold me tight I need ten thousand angels watchin' over me tonight I need ten thousand angels watchin' over me tonight Ten thousand angels, watchin' over me tonight Ten thousand angels, watchin' over me tonight Watchin' over me tonight...

I bought a new red dress to lift my spirits up And just like you did, honey, it cost me way too much Next time you see me, I'll bet you'll take a second look You'll wonder why I look so good You'll never know how much I miss you, you won't see it in my face You'll never know I'll never find another that could take your place 'Cause I'll be smiling when I see you, my tears won't ever show Yeah, I might always love you But you'll never know When I saw you out last night, you seemed so surprised That I could walk right by and not blink an eye To look at me, you probably think I'm doing fine Good thing you can't read my mind You'll never know how much I miss you, you won't see it in my face You'll never know I'll never find another that could take your place 'Cause I'll be smiling when I see you, my tears won't ever show Yeah, I might always love you But you'll never know You'll never know how much I miss you, you won't see it in my face You'll never know I'll never find another that could take your place 'Cause I'll be smiling when I see you, my tears won't ever show Yeah, I might always love you But you'll never know You'll never know You'll never know You'll never know

I come alive at the second of midnight So I can fly when the world is asleep You scream and howl as I'm taking the first bite Blood on my tongue tastes of eternity People will come and go Some stories never told Bury me down below But I'll never die 'Cause I'm immortal Yes, immortal The dogs are out and the kingdoms are falling Dressed as your friends but they're your enemies You fear the end because you can't see it coming Afraid to sleep 'cause I'm inside your dreams People will come and go Some stories never told Bury me down below But I'll never die 'Cause I'm immortal People will come and go Some stories never told Bury me down below But I'll never die, no, no People will come and go Some stories never told Bury me down below But I'll never die 'Cause I'm immortal
