Ryan Lyrics, minus 2 songs Options

[mmmelliq]

Hey...I got really bored, and was listening to his album anyway, so I wrote out the lyrics... Yup, I am officially pathetic.
Anyway, here they are except for Don't Dream It's Over (www.lyrics.com you can find the words to the original on there) and Good Girls...I wasn't even gonna TOUCH that one!
And there's a blank space in Absolutely Perfect because I just couldn't get it. There may be a few errors here and there from when I transcribed wrong...please forgive! Anyway, enough chit-chat, make with the lyrics!

Star of All The Planets

Don’t you know you’re beautiful
The light you shed, it overflows my eyes
Can’t take your blinding glow oh no
If I could break into your mind
I’d leave a note that said you were like
The star of all the planets out in the sky
Tell me why

(Chorus)
Don’t you feel lovely, don’t you feel bright
You’ve got that something
I only wish you could see how lovely you are too me.

If you could spy with your pretty eyes
What I can see as your very own satellite
And maybe you would get it and you’d realize
You’re the star of all the planets out in the sky
Tell me why

Repeat Chorus

You’re the star of all the planets of the sky
You’re the star of all the planets of the sky
You shine so bright

Repeat Chorus X2

Straight Up The Middle

I’ve been knocked down I’ll get myself together
Face to the ground, I know it’s now or never
This will be the last time

(Chorus)
I’m comin’ at ya straight up the middle
Nothing could pull me down
I’m gonna drive it straight up the middle
Nothing can stop me now
I’m gonna drive it sraight up the middle
No one will ever bring me down.

I fall back down, can’t pull myself together
When I come around, you’re in for nasty weather
This will be the last time

Chorus

Push me around, you should know better.
Face to the ground, it’s now or never.

I’m comin’ at ya straight up the middle
Nothing could pull me down
(repeat X2)
I’m gonna drive it straight up the middle
Nothing can stop me now
I’m gonna drive it sraight up the middle
No one will ever bring me down.

Crash & Burn

There’s a picture in my window, of a world that sleeps outside
As still as it was midnight, it’s heaven left behind.
It’s a book that has no story, and Shakespeare had no tie
Or is it like poetry that never ever never ever rhymes
Baby wait your turn, ‘cause you might crash and burn

(Chorus)
And you’re runnin’ and you’re runnin’ just as fast as you can
Till the grounds are burnin’
And you can see it almost touch it with the palm of your hand
Watch you don’t crash and burn, crash and burn.

Like a movie with no ending, fame at any cost
How do we know what’s precious if innocence, innocence is lost?
So lets wait our turn before we crash and burn.

Chorus

Everybody loses, oh just before they win.
Life is all surprises, and here they oh here they come again
Rushin’ in Rushin’ in I’m rushin’ in.

Chorus

You Made This Fool Become A Man

Travelin’ on the road to nowhere and I was driving much too fast,
Trying to be ahead of things but I always ended last.
I’m a big city kid with a big city life and that’s all I know
I’m aiming for the sky but I’m always hitting low
(Chorus)
You came in and helped me out just like a miracle
You gave me strength to realize
When I had nowhere else to turn, you taught me lessons to be learned
You made this fool become a man
When I was down, when I was out, when I just couldn’t understand
You made this fool become a man

Loves the only reason that could change a guy like me
She makes me see the small things that I didn’t get to see before.

Chorus

She’s been moving through me, and now there we’re never lonely
Time is mine forever

When I had nowhere else to turn, you taught me lessons to be learned
You made this fool become a man
When I was down, when I was out, when I just couldn’t understand
You made this fool become a man
(Repeat)

Absolutely Perfect

Sometimes we don’t, haven’t a clue what we are doing
We fumble around out in the wind like a piece of paper
I had a picture of what this love was about
It’s somehow different than what I’m looking at

(Chorus)
Sometimes we want what we don’t need, what isn’t true
I need you now, not always right not always wrong just yeah
It’s absolutely perfect, absolutely perfect

Oh we make a ton of stupid mistakes, that’s just the beauty
'Cause nothing is worth it when your life doesn't go through it
I took a picture of what this love was about
It turned out different than what I’m looking at

Chorus

Repeat Verse 1

Chorus X2


I Gotta Be Me

My first grade teacher said that if I wanted to get ahead I’d have to learn to pay attention
But I never listened to a word she said and I always wound up in detention
It wasn’t fair, I didn’t care

(Chorus)
I gotta be me
Never fit into the box (I gotta be me)
Mr. Unorthodox (I gotta be me)
Always different from the crowd (I gotta be me)
Even my whisper comes out loud (I gotta be me)

I remember working my very first job I was liftin’ crates
My boss said boy you’ll never fit in.
But he’s the one who’s stuck there living inside a life he hates
And I’m the one who’s really living.
It wasn’t fair, oh I didn’t care

Chorus

It wasn’t fair, oh I didn’t care

Chorus to fade

Memory Lane

Don’t know, don’t know where to start I feel like letting go
When did things get so far from alright?
Where do I go? I gotta find my way home.
I just don’t know. Can’t find, can’t find my peace of mind
So I take a ride back to a simple time when I’m

(Chorus)
Walking on my own down memory lane
Trying to find the things that fade away
Pictures in my mind may start to play
Remembering like it was yesterday

I wanna drive away back to the days when I wasn’t even
In the rays, a thousand miles from the way I’m living in
Better days, they’re waiting for me at home.
I guess I just know, can’t find, can’t find my peace of mind
So I take a ride back to a simple time when I’m

Chorus

I just gotta, just gotta let myself go
I don’t know where I’m gonna go
But I just gotta, just gotta let myself go

Chorus X2

Remembering like it was yesterday

Home

Jump in the car I’ve got a feeling pretty soon things might get heated
We’re not safe here anymore.
There’s a place close we can hide out, where the satellites won’t find us
Just get in and close the door.
Baby our love is threatened.
For it to survive just listen.

(Chorus)
I don’t wanna learn to breathe again,
I don’t wanna start another life
You were the closest thing to heaven I’ve ever known
In a world of walls, you were like a door,
Baby you’re my only home.

If tomorrow we don’t wake up with this halo right above us
It’d be the saddest day of all.
We’ve got a love that’s epic, maybe that’s why they get jealous
Of the most famous love of all.
What we’ve got here is precious
So lets keep on fighting yeah

Chorus

Yeah, baby you’re my lifeline

Chorus

Baby you’re my only home.

Ride

Hot summer night lets go for a ride
Lets leave the city lights behind
Turn the radio on, there’s a Sheryl Crow song
And she’s soaking up the sun
(Chorus)
Shine on, shine on and oh
It’s time to go for a ride
We’ll find the perfect way to carry us away
Lets go for a ride, lets go for a ride.

I’m looking at you and I’m loving the view,
It’s like a California dream come true
Just yesterday we were lost in L.A.
Now we’re soaking up the sun

ChorusX3

October Skies
As we’re driving, top down through the streets of this town
Leave it all behind.
We’re gonna start a new life, chasing dreams of spotlights
Who knows what we’ll find.
You don’t have to be afraid as long as I’m with you.
We’ll make our escape

(Chorus)
Everwhere I go on this open road
I’ll always be with you, right here by your side
Our love will never die, your colours come alive
Underneath October skies.

You threw me a lifeline, got to me just in time
Words can’t say
With you I’ve found new meaning, loves a season changing
Brand new day
You don’t have to be afraid as long as I’m with you.
We’ll make our escape.

Chorus

The summer’s come and gone and I know
As the leaves all turn to gold, there will be a promise that I’ll make
To you forever

You don’t have to be afraid as long as I’m with you.
We’ll make our escape.

Chorus X2

Something More

I don’t think that I could tell you what this
means to me
But here I am, it’s so hard to believe
That I’m standing here, that I’ve come this far
But you always said have faith in who you are
I want to take this time to thank you for the love
that you gave
And from this moment, you've got to know

[[[Chorus]]]
I never wanted something more
And I’ve never felt so sure
Coz now I’ve got this chance to be
Everything you saw in me and even more
Than I ever dreamed before
As long as you are here with me, I know that I can be
Something more

Looking back now, it’s all clear to me
That you were sent to shape my destiny
Coz there were times when I was ready to walk away
But you gave me strength to face another day
I wanna take this time to thank you for the love
you gave
And from this moment, you’ve got to know

[[repeat chorus]]

I’m reaching for the sky
Won’t let this chance go by
I’ve waited all my life for something more
And now’s the time you’re gonna see
From this moment, you’re gonna know

[[repeat chorus]]

You make me wanna be something more...


Nothing Left to Say

There’s nothing left to say.

I’ve been looking on the bright side, I’ve been trying to remember
I’ve been thinking ‘bought the good times, but they seem so far away.
And you used to be someone, that I could always count on
But now you only count on me. It’s like I don’t even know you
And you don’t even care. It’s like I lost you somewhere.

(Chorus)
And I, I’m trying to be your friend, I’m doing the best I can
But sometimes I don’t understand why you
Why you’re asking me to stay when you’re pushing me away
In the silence here between us there’s nothing left to say.

Day in and day out I’ve been hoping things would change
I’ve been showing you a way out, but you slammed the door on me.
And you used to be someone who laughed until you cried
Now you just cry, you just cry yeah
It’s like I don’t even know you
And you don’t even care. It’s like I lost you somewhere.

Chorus

So how long should I try to break my way inside
And drag you back into the light?
‘Cause it’s tearing me apart and I’m feeling I should start
Thinking of a new day

I’m trying to be your friend, I’m doing the best I can
There’s nothing left to say.

Chorus X2

Your Heart Will Know

You feel the world is rushing by you
While you’re waiting for someone to understand
You tend to see love as an island
Where hopes like words are written in the sand
When the only door sends you back
Nothing you’ve lived for ever lasts

(Chorus)
Every second so slow
Every hour so low
You wanna put your arms around someone who doesn’t wanna let you go
When the love your in baby just can’t win, it doesn’t mean you’re meant to be alone
‘Cause your grass will grow, and the river will flow and your heart will know.

You feel you’re watching through a window
And what you want is just beyond your touch
Your heart flies any way the wind blows
While everybody else is finding love
Your one sweet thing, your light of day
It was all you lived for, turned away

Chorus

One day everything will change
The sun will shine, your day will come to reach you
Ah the rain will go away, at last you’ve found someone to reach you
Who needs you
Gotta trust the things you feel
When you do you know your heart will guide you

Now you wait for the sun
And the morning to come
When you can put your arms around someone who’s never gonna let you go
When the love you’re in baby just can’t win, it doesn’t mean you’re meant to be alone.
‘Cause your grass will grow, and the river will flow and your heart will know.

Grass will grow, and the river will flow and your heart will know.

[ringette04]

lol. There's only one line to the song I don't know but I'm trying to figure it out right now, lol.

[ringette04]

k they might not be all right, but it's close enough, lol.

Good Girls

Her name was Sheila
She was a dreamer
You know, we've never seen eye to eye
Then there was Mona
From just around the corner,
She wasn't ever happy with her style

Just not right, for me baby
You're just not right for me, lady

And what about Suzie
Who loved the jacuzzi
That's where I caught her with the other guy
Little Alita
She was a diva
She loved money, tried to make me buy

Just not right for me baby
You're just not right for me, lady
No why'd you gotta go and do that?

Where have all the good girls gone?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Where have all the good girls gone?
Can you help me now?
Where have all the good girls
All the good girls
Where have all the good girls gone?
I know she's out there somewhere.....
I know you're out there, baby

Has anyone seen her,
I'm dying to meet her
She better come soon cause I'm going down
Am I going crazy?
My vision is hazy
Oh, has my world stopped spinning round?

You're just not right for me baby
You're just not right for me, lady
Now why'd you gotta go and do that?

Where have all the good girls gone?
Where have all the good girls gone?
C'mon baby, yeah, I'm calling you out
Where have all the good girls
All the good girls
Where have all the good girls gone?
I know you're out there somewhere
I'm lookin for you baby
Where have all the good girls
All the good girls
Where have all the good girls gone?
Where have all the good girls
All the good girls
Where have all the good, all the good, all the good girls
Where have all the good girls gone?
Where have all the good girls gone?
C'mon baby, yeah, I'm talkin to you
Where have all the good girls gone?
Listen baby, I need you
Where have all the good girls, all the good girls,
Where have all the good girls gone?
I know you're out there somewhere
Where have all the good girls gone?
I'm lookin for you
You lookin for me?
Where have all the good girls gone?
Are you a good girl, baby?
Where have all the good girls, all the good girls
Where have all the good girls gone?




That's it...I probably should have put "repeat to fade" but it doesn't fade at the end and there's also those little bits that are different in every chorus...it's hard to explain....Anyway, I'm not sure about some of lyrics, but they sound right and make sense, so, oh well....lol.

[ringette04]

Does every single person here (except for one lol) live in Ontario? Have any of you heard of Ajax? That's where I live.

[ringette04]

bump
Am I the only one her ethat just loves that song? lol
I ask a lot of questions.

[mmmelliq]

Answer to both questions:
Ajax Car-wax! Hehe...when I was younger, I was in a choir and we made it to the top 10 choirs out of 10 000 tapes the got, for auditions to be in Joseph and The Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat with Donny Osmond...we lost to a choir from Ajax! And that's all I really know about Ajax....I'm from Stratford.

AND...Good Girls is probably my second least-favorite song on the album (Don't Dream It's Over being my least, but only because I really do not like that Gary Beals at all.) but I still like it, I just don't LOVE it. Like I LOVE Home!

[ringette04]

Lol, I don't know why, I just don't like Home really, but I Star of All the Planets!! And almost every other one....

[claynadiandork]

I know where Ajax is! I'm from Oshawa.. so pretty close lol.

I really don't like Good Girls, I don't know why, it doesn't seem to fit with the album. But I love the songs Home, Star of all the Planets, I Gotta be Me, Nothing Left To Say and Your Heart Will Know.

[ringette04]

I dunno why I like it, I agree it doesn't fit in w/ the rest but it's so fast and upbeat and...I dunno, lol. I love Star of All The Planets, Nothing Left To Say, andI Gotta Be Me.....

OMG ur from Oshawa! Cool! My friend moved to Oshawa last year....

[BIRD_DUCK_HIPPO2]

Hey! I love Star Of All Planets. It's the only song I like by Ryan Malcolm.

[ringette04]

it's because you haven't heard the other ones, Nat, you'll like them 2.

[iheartclaythismuch]

good girls is a pretty good song, i like the up tempo and the beat, but yah i agree doesn't fit with the album. kinda like clay's "touch" haha yah i don't like that song.
