Lyrics
edit- All songs written by Bareilles unless otherwise noted.
Careful Confessions (2004)
edit- Set me free
Leave me be
I dont wanna fall another moment into your gravity- "Gravity"
- Here I am
And I stand
So tall
Just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me
And all over me- "Gravity"
- The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted
My piece of one sweet love- "One Sweet Love"
- I don't care
For your fairytales
You're so worried about the maiden
Oh, you know she's only waiting on the next best thing- "Fairytale"
Kaleidoscope Heart (2009)
edit- I'm going down
Follow if you want
I won't just hang around
Like you'll show me where to go
I'm already out
Of foolproof ideas
So don't ask me how
To get started
It's all uncharted
- Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright
Just not tonight
But someday- "Gonna Get Over You"
- Written by Bareilles and Sam Farrar
- I'll be alright
Once I find the other side
Of someday- "Gonna Get Over You"
- Written by Bareilles and Sam Farrar
- Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare
Tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?
- I wanna darken in the skies
Open the floodgates up
I wanna change my mind
I wanna be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I wanna cry until the end of time
I wanna let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground- "Let the Rain"
- Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
Maybe, boy, when you cry nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun- "Machine Gun"
Once Upon Another Time (2012)
edit- They may be lies
But say that we'll be alright
If we stay tonight- "Stay"
- A tongue like yours should be burned and branded
So I can see you lie to me
I wish the air would color red when you breathed it
Oh, so I could've seen it coming
Look in my eyes when you say you love me
So I can see you lie to me- "Lie to Me"
- Mean songs are still better than going postal
- "Sweet As Whole"
- I say what I think
Because it's more economic than drugs or a drink- "Sweet As Whole"
The Blessed Unrest (2013)
edit- I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave- "Brave"
- Written by Bareilles and Jack Antonoff
- You said
Remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be chasing the sun
So fill up your lungs and just—run!
We can always be chasing the sun- "Chasing the Sun"
- So how do you do it?
With just words and just music
Capture the feeling
That my earth is somebody's ceiling
Can I deliver in sound
The weight of the ground
of a cemetery
in the center of Queens- "Chasing the Sun"
- You can have Manhattan
I know it's for the best
Gather up the avenues and leave them on your doorstep- "Manhattan"
- You are all just perfect little satellites
Spinning round and round this broken Earthy life- "Satellite Call"
- I've got my little black dress on
And if I tell myself that nothing's wrong
This doesn't have to be a sad song
Not with my little black dress on.- "Little Black Dress"
- I would die to make you mine
Bleed me dry almost every time
But I don't mind, no I don't mind it
I would come back 1000 times- "1000 Times"
- Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you.- "I Choose You"
- Written by Bareilles, Jason Blynn, and Pete Harper
- There's no way to make the pain play fair
It doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there- "Eden"
- Written by Bareilles and Matt Hales
- It can't be a mistake
If I just call it change- "December"
