I rarely listen to One Republic. Actually, the only song I know from the band is Apologize. (Hehe) I tried listening to their album "Native" and surprisingly, I'm loving it. I guess the vocals, melody and the beat sound fresh for me. But what really captivates me are the lyrics of the songs. The songs reminds me or makes me think of certain moments when a particular song from the album can be a perfect background music. Whether that moment is romantic or something which reminds me of the youthfulness of my Church friends.
Among the songs in the album, "Something I Need" captivates me the most. I think it can be a perfect prenup video background music. I love the beat and how the vocals are arranged. And of course, the lyrics are perfect. Check it out. :)
I had a dream the other night
Bout how we only get one night
Woke me up right after 2
Stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn’t loose my mind
And I had the week that came from hell
And yes I know that you could tell
But you’re like the net under the ledge
Whether I go flying off the edge
You go flying off aswell
And if you only die once
I wanna die with...
[Chorus]
You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once, I wanna die with you
You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once, I wanna die with you
Last night I think I drank too much, yeah
Call it our temporary crunch
With broken words I’ve tried to say
Honey don’t you be afraid
If we got nothing, we got us, yeah
And if you only die once
I wanna die with
[Chorus]
You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once, I wanna die with you
You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once, I wanna die with you
I know that we’re not the same
But I’m so damn glad that we made it
To this time, this time, around, yeah
[Chorus]
You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once, I wanna die with you
You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once, I wanna die with you
If we only live once, I wanna live with you.
