Miranda Cosgrove - Sparks Fly (Digital Booklet)

Miranda

2. 01 kissin u
Sparks fl y, it’s like electricity / I might die, when I forget how to breathe / You get closer, and there’s nowhere
/ In this world I’d rather be / Time stops, like everything around me / Is frozen, and nothing matters but these
/ Few moments / When you open my mind to things I’ve never seen // ’Cause when I’m kissin u my senses
come alive / Almost like the puzzle piece I’ve been tryna fi nd / Falls right into place / You’re all that it takes /
My doubts fade away when I’m kissin u / When I’m kissin u it all starts making sense / And all the questions
I’ve been asking in my head / Like are you the one / Should I really trust / Crystal clear it becomes / When I’m
kissin u // Past loves / They never got very far / Walls up / Make sure I guarded my heart / And I promised I
wouldn’t do this / ’Til I knew it was right for me / But no one, no guy that I met before / Could make me feel so
right and secure / And have you noticed I lose my focus and the world around me disappears // ’Cause when
I’m kissin u my senses come alive / Almost like the puzzle piece I’ve been tryna fi nd / Falls right into place /
You’re all that it takes / My doubts fade away when I’m kissin u / When I’m kissin u it all starts making sense
/ And all the questions I’ve been asking in my head / Like are you the one / Should I really trust / Crystal clear
it becomes / When I’m kissin u // I’ve never felt nothing like this / You’re making me open up / No point even
trying to fi nd this kinda feels like it’s love // ’Cause when I’m kissin u my senses come alive / Almost like the
puzzle piece I’ve been tryna fi nd / Falls right into place / You’re all that it takes / My doubts fade away when
I’m kissin u / When I’m kissin u it all starts making sense / And all the questions I’ve been asking in my head
/ Like are you the one / Should I really trust / Crystal clear it becomes / When I’m kissin u

Never thought I’d fall in love / Now I stand corrected / Never thought I’d feel what I feel / Never been so affected
// Now I know what I know / But right now it seems so subjective // You surprised me / Hypnotized me / Found
my weakness / Then you creeped in / To my heart then / Oh, you started / To make my whole world just
explode // (BAM) My life has changed / (BAM) Can’t concentrate / (BAM) I was okay until we met that day then
/ (BAM) I am obsessed / (BAM) Can’t get no rest / (BAM) Ever since we met I think I know what love is / (BAM)
// I felt so secure with these walls around me / Boys would take me out / But bring me back where they found
me / And there’s no harm, no foul / ‘Cause they never got a chance to know me // You surprised me / Hypno-
tized me / Found my weakness / Then you creeped in / To my heart then / Oh, you started / To make my whole
world just explode // (BAM) My life has changed / (BAM) Can’t concentrate / (BAM) I was okay until we met
that day then / (BAM) I am obsessed / (BAM) Can’t get no rest / (BAM) Ever since we met I think I know what
love is / (BAM) // And if I had to walk a million miles / To fi nd your smile / I would / And if you took a trip to
Costa Rica / And told me to meet ya / I would // (BAM) My life has changed / (BAM) Can’t concentrate / (BAM)
I was okay until we met that day then / (BAM) I am obsessed / (BAM) Can’t get no rest / (BAM) Ever since we
met I think I know what love is / (BAM) // You surprised me / Hypnotized me / Found my weakness / Then you
creeped in / To my heart then / Oh, you started / To make my whole world just explode // (BAM)

3. 03 disgusting
My heart booms at the speed of light / But the exit sign’s always on my mind, always in my sight / I could
say that I really want to stay / But the devil inside always wins the fi ght, always gets his way // Jump out
the window gotta get out on the highway / When things are getting too attached I need an escape / I’m see-
ing stars and there is nothing more that I hate, baby // There’s something that I gotta say / It’s disgusting,
how I love you / I can’t take it, I should hate you / ‘Cause you’re messing up my name / Gotta walk my talk
my fame, but I just want to touch your face / It’s disgusting / It’s disgusting, how you changed me / From
a bandit to a baby / Thinking I might gotta change my name / If I’m gonna walk this walk in shame / Look
at what you do to me / It’s disgusting // My mind blinks like a traffi c light / It’s green and red and stop and
go, changing all the time / And it makes me scared, that I haven’t left / That it’s still right here, more or less
// Jump out in traffi c, yeah, I gotta go my own way / My head is slipping, too intense I need an escape
/ I’m seeing stars and there is nothing more that I hate, baby // There’s something that I gotta say / It’s
disgusting, how I love you / I can’t take it, I should hate you / ‘Cause you’re messing up my name / Gotta
walk my talk my fame, but I just want to touch your face / It’s disgusting / It’s disgusting, how you changed
me / From a bandit to a baby / Think I might gotta change my name / If I’m gonna walk this walk in shame
/ Look at what you do to me / It’s disgusting // Chapter by chapter, I’m falling faster and faster / Becoming
manic and magic it’s so romantic I panic, oh / Hit the eject button but it must be stuck, something’s up /
I’m drifting out right over the brink, baby // It’s disgusting, how I love you / I can’t take it, I should hate you
/ ‘Cause you’re messing up my name / Gotta walk my talk my fame, but I just want to touch your face / It’s
disgusting / It’s disgusting, how you changed me / From a bandit to a baby / Thinking I might gotta change
my name / If I’m gonna walk this walk in shame / Look at what you do to me / It’s disgusting // Look at
what you do to me / It’s disgusting

04 shakespeare
I saw you there, so beautiful / You stopped and stared, so magical / Then you asked me for my name,
and we took an uptown train / Before you leave, get up to go / I wanna know // Do you like Shakespeare,
Jeff Buckley, watching movies on Sunday? / Do you like kissing when it’s raining, making faces in the
station / Do you like... / I need to know / What do you like... / Before you go // You walk me home, so
wonderful / It starts to snow, it’s incredible / And now we’re walking up my street / And you slowly turn to
me / You’re 3 inches from my lips / But before we do this // Do you like Shakespeare, Jeff Buckley, watch-
ing movies on Sunday? / Do you like kissing when it’s raining, making faces in the station / Do you like...
/ I need to know / What do you like... / Before you go / (Oh Oh) // Show me the place where you come
from / And the places you dream of / I wanna know everything you are / But before we get that far // Do
you like... / I need to know / What do you like... / Before you go // Do you like Shakespeare, Jeff Buckley,
watching movies on Sunday? / Do you like kissing when it’s raining, making faces in the station / ‘Cause
I like Shakespeare, Jeff Buckley, watching movies on Sunday / Kissing when it’s raining, making faces in
the station / Do you like... / Yeah yeah yeah yeah

5. 05 hey you
You always see the beauty in a passing cloud / You’re the one who fi xes me when I’m down / And you don’t
think twice, do you // You could fi nd one diamond in a mine / But you’re the one who’s shining for miles
around / And you don’t see that, do you // And when the day is done / Do you have the feeling / That you’re
all alone / Giving up on your own dreams // Hey you it’s your turn to / See the beauty in yourself / Just
like you tell everyone else / Hey you am I getting through / If you would only see yourself the way you see
everyone else / The way I always see you / I see you - hey you, hey you // If you fl y like Icarus to the edge
/ I could be there talkin’ you back don’t forget / But you don’t go there do you / And when the night is long
do you wake up hearing / A voice inside calling out for you / Oh please // Hey you it’s your turn to / See the
beauty in yourself / Just like you tell everyone else / Hey you am I getting through / If you would only see
yourself the way you see everyone else / The way I always see you / I see you // Hiding in the background
thinkin you’re not pretty / Holdin back your thoughts ‘cause who’s gonna listen / Hide behind a half smile
hey it’s such a pity / Everybody’s missin out while you’re busy / Holdin it all inside / Inside // Hey you it’s
your turn to / See the beauty in yourself / Just like you tell everyone else / Hey you am I getting through / If
you would only see yourself the way you see everyone else / The way I always see you I see you / Hey you
whatcha gonna do

06 there will be tears
I don’t know what you expected / For me to sit around and beg for you to stay / Can’t you see what you’ve
neglected / I don’t know what u been takin / Do I look like I was born just yesterday / You’re the one who will
be breakin after all // ‘Cause there will be tears - but they’re not gonna be mine / My heart will be clear - and
my eyes are staying dry / Because again and again and again / You wish I never got away / I’ll just be
dancing now I got a reason to celebrate / Tears! But they’re not gonna be, not gonna be mine! // You’ll be
beggin for a shoulder / You’ll be lookin for someone to dry your eyes / But you ain’t ever getting over what
we had / You’ll be cryin’ like a baby / ‘Cause you thought you’d be the one to say goodbye / And I hope it
drives you crazy - oh yeah // ‘Cause there will be tears - but they’re not gonna be mine / My heart will be
clear - and my eyes are staying dry / Because again and again and again / You wish I never got away / I’ll
just be dancing now I got a reason to celebrate / Tears! But they’re not gonna be, not gonna be mine! // You
don’t know what you got till it goes away, goes away, baby / Anything that you lost you’re the one to blame,
one to blame, SO SAVE IT / Again and again and again / You wish I never got away / I’ll just be dancing now
I got a reason to celebrate / There will be tears, oh yeah.... but they’re not gonna be mine! // ‘Cause there
will be tears - but they’re not gonna be mine / My heart will be clear - and my eyes are staying dry / Because
again and again and again / You wish I never got away / I’ll just be dancing now I got a reason to celebrate
/ Tears! But they’re not gonna be, not gonna be mine!

6. 07 oh oh
Boy you said that you don’t want anybody / Then went and found somebody / Bet you thought I’d be all
messed up about it / Losing myself about it // But I got out of bed and I quickly discovered that I never
needed you / And I picked up the phone and I called all my friends / Told ’em why don’t we make a move
// If you think I’ll cry for you tonight / I’m out having my (oh oh) / And I look so hot / The boys forgot / That
after N, comes O O tonight, tonight // Don’t call me like you wanna talk about it / You had a chance to do it /
Don’t have your friends call my friends looking for some advice about it / You can forget about it // I was all
by myself and I quickly discovered that I never needed you / I can pick up the phone and get me another
you / I bet he’ll know just what to do // If you think I’ll cry for you tonight / I’m out having my (oh oh) / And I
look so hot / The boys forgot / That after N, comes O O tonight, tonight // Oh oh oh / Oh oh oh // I was all by
myself and I quickly discovered that I never needed you / I can pick up the phone and get me another you /

08 daydream
I coulda been the one you noticed / I coulda been all over you / I coulda been like all the others / Is that what
I’m supposed to do? // It woulda been really stupid / If I woulda went out with you / To give you everything
you wanted / It woulda been way too soon // I try to be sensitive / I try to be tough / I try to walk away... /
I try to be innocent / I try to be rough / But I just wanna play // You’re my daydream, you know that I’ve been
thinking about you... lately / And everytime I look at you / I can’t explain I feel insane, I can’t get away /
You’re my daydream // If I tell you what I’m thinkin’ / And I let myself trust you / Can you give me what I’m
missin’ / Can you make my dreams come true // I try to be sensitive / I try to be tough / I try to walk away... /
I try to be innocent / I try to be rough / But I just wanna play // You’re my daydream, you know that I’ve been
thinking about you... lately / And every time I look at you / I can’t explain I feel insane, I can’t get away /
You’re my daydream // You’re my... / I always wanted someone / I’ve been waiting so long / Could you be
that someone / Are you my, you my, you’re my, you’re my... // Daydream, you know that I’ve been thinking
about you... lately / And every time I look at you / I can’t explain I feel insane, I can’t get away / You’re my
daydream // And you know, and you know, and you know / You’re making me insane / And you know, and
you know, and you know / You’re doing it again // And you know, and you know, and you know / You’re
making me insane / And you know, and you know, and you know / You’re doing it again

Disrespect that’s all that you do to me / So messed up the way that you’re treatin me / Brace yourself there’s

Now you can lay in it / ‘Cause one day soon I’ll have a brand new you // New you // He’s gonna walk like
you / Exact same anatomy / Talk like you / Except he knows how to be / Sweet and kind it shouldn’t be so hard
to fi nd // Does it make you mad? // When you’re thinking back to the starting line / Back when I was yours and
you were mine / You took me for granted so I found a brand new you / And when you see me around this time /
Well I hope you’ll see that I’m doing fi ne / It’s never been better ‘cause I’ve found a brand new you / Since I found
a brand new you // I know you hate that I’m over it / I don’t even miss you a little bit / I’m so glad I found a brand
new you // New you // He’s gonna walk like you / Exact same anatomy / Talk like you / Except he’s so good to
me / You were blind to think you were one of a kind // Does it make you mad? // When you’re thinking back to

you (found a brand new you) / And when you see me around this time / Well I hope you’ll see that I’m doing

10 what are you waiting for?
Standing here in our fi nal hour / I can’t believe this is the end / Now I wish that I had the power / To start
this all over again / ‘Cause I know that I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone / And I’d hate to leave
it this way / So just make a move, you got nothing to lose, no // Here I am, take a chance, what are
you waiting for? / I’m telling you, as a friend, we could be so much more / I never thought anyone ever
could make me feel this way / So make my day / What are you waiting for? / What are you waiting for?
// Without you it’s gonna be lonely / So let’s make the most of tonight / Did I ever say you were the only
/ One who could make it alright / Now I don’t know when I’m gonna see you again / Can’t you take my
mind off the pain / So just make a move, you’ve got nothing to lose, no // Here I am, take a chance,
what are you waiting for? / I’m telling you, as a friend, we could be so much more / I never thought
anyone ever could make me feel this way / So make my day // Don’t make me feel stupid, don’t say I
was wrong / For building this up in my mind for so long / Now our time’s running out, so you’ve got to
be strong / If you wanna make this right, break the ice, don’t think twice, take me away / What are you
waiting for? / I never thought anyone ever could make me feel this way / So make my day // Here I am,
take a chance, what are you waiting for? / I’m telling you, as a friend, we could be so much more / I
never thought anyone ever could make me feel this way / So make my day / What are you, waiting for? /

7. 11 adored
I’m willing to try this, but maybe you’re not / Maybe we’ll like it let’s give it a shot / But let’s throw
ourselves in and get soaking wet / Don’t just dip our toes in, not yet // Don’t tell me that you’re kind of
into me / ’Cause I just wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, adored // Adored / I need to feel it to know that
you mean it / From the bottom of your soul / Let me know I’m / Adored / It’s not enough for you simply to
say it / Instead of telling me words / Let me know that you’re / Positively mine, and I’m positively yours /
For sure, from the bottom of your heart / Let me know I’m adored // I’m willing to show you the thoughts
in my mind / I’m willing to cut loose the ropes that I’ve tied / So tell me you’re ready to dig in the dirt / To
show me the places where you have been hurt // Don’t tell me that you’re kinda into me / I just wanna
be, wanna be // Adored / I need to feel it to know that you mean it / From the bottom of your soul / Let
me know I’m / Adored / It’s not enough for you simply to say it / Instead of telling me words / Let me
know that you’re / Positively mine, and I’m positively yours / For sure, from the bottom of your heart / Let
me know I’m adored // What’s the point in settling for less / What for / Wanna win and not come second
best / So shatter my world / Don’t matter no / Because I wanna fall / For my own sake / It don’t matter if
I break / You’re gonna be adored by me // Don’t tell me that you’re kinda into me / ’Cause I just wanna
be, wanna be, wanna be // Adored / I need to feel it to know that you mean it / From the bottom of your
soul / Let me know I’m / Adored / It’s not enough for you simply to say it / Instead of telling me words /
Let me know that you’re / Positively mine, and I’m positively yours / For sure, from the bottom of your
heart / Let me know I’m adored // From the bottom of my heart / From the bottom of my heart...

12 BeauTifuL mess
I feel crazy / While you seem sane / I saw lightning / But you just see rain / I hear music / That’s my heart
being played / In your shadow I fade // It’s a beautiful mess you made / You’ve had your fun and games / I
love you / To you that means so much less / You’re like the tear in my brand new dress / It’s a beauti-
ful mess // The rush remains as I watch you go / Your kiss still lingers / But it’s killing me slow / As I
shiver in this space where I lay / In your shadow I fade // It’s a beautiful mess you made / You’ve had your
fun and games / I love you / To you that means so much less / You’re like the tear in my brand new dress /
It’s a beautiful mess // It was an innocent mistake / To waste my time on you / When they tell you not to go
there / Don’t care / And you do // In your shadow I fade // It’s a beautiful mess you made / You’ve had your
fun and games / I love you / To you that means so much less / You’re like the tear in my brand new dress /
And now I’m left with this beautiful mess
