Hootie & The Blowfish Lyrics

New Year's Day lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

From the second that you walked in, everything around me changed

Though I don't know where you've been, I know I'll never be the same

Hear the heartbeat in my chest, makes me feel I'm bulletproof

Whatever happens is worth the risk, I got a feeling, you feel it too

Come on baby, let me take your breath away

Forget about our worries that was yesterday

Make a toast to all those champagne castaways

Come on babe, let's kiss just like it's New Year's Day

Yeah, you're in my wildest dreams, you're living in my favorite songs

Every time you look at me, I can't help it you turn me on

Come on baby, let me take your breath away

Forget about your worries that was yesterday, oh, oh

Take a trip to all those champagne castaways

Come on babe, let's kiss just like it's New Year's Day (ooooo)

Like it's New Year's Day (oooo)

Just like it's New Year's Day (oooo)

Hold on to the moment babe, kiss me like it's New Year's Day

Come on baby, let me take your breath away

Forget about our worries that was yesterday

Make a toast to all those champagne, champagne castaways, oh

Come on babe, let's kiss just like it's

Kiss just like it's New Year's Day (oooo)

Oh, oh, just like it's New Year's Day, aw (oooo)

Just like it's New Years, New Year's Day

Come on babe, let's kiss just like it's New Year's Day

Miss California lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

(live version)

Blue jean shorts and a sweater

I didn't know if she was hot or cold

I told her on the day that I met her

I was never gonna let her go

There's a spark in her eyes when she's smiling

Lights a fire in my soul

When she touches me the flames get higher

And it's burning out of control

The years go by

My heart knows I

Miss California

Highway one

Halfway to Hollywood

Miss California

Sunset dipping in the water never looked this good

I just wanna watch her all day

But she comes in and out like a wave

She puts her moonlight lips on my face

And she goes

There she goes

Miss California

Putting Xs on a page counting down the days

Until the summer was gone

Sex on the beach and her older brother's weed

Polaroids and Coppertone

The years go by

My heart knows I

Miss California

Highway one

Halfway to Hollywood

Miss California

Sunset dipiing in the water never looked this good

I just wanna watch her all day

But she comes in and out like a wave

She puts her moonlight lips on my face

And she goes

There she goes

Miss California

Oh...

Miss California

Oh...

Miss California

Highway one

Halfway to Hollywood

Miss California

The sunset dipiing in the water never looked this good, oh, no

I just wanna watch her all day

She comes in and out like a wave

She puts her moonlight lips on my face

And she goes

There she goes

Miss California...

Oh

She's Miss California

Yeah...

Oh...

Miss California

Wildfire Love lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish (feat. Lucie Silvas)

Sunday morning and I'm waiting for a train, darling, I'll be gone for a while

Don't know how to ask but baby, will you wait, you know the world gets lonely sometime

A rolling stone in the desert, a wind that blows in the trees

Through the storms and bad weather babe, the only thing that we need

Is love, burning love, well it's a wildfire love

Taking everything it sees

And, it's a love, red hot love, well it's a wildfire love

Baby, that's just you and me

Baby, that's just you and me

There were times when I was far away from you and I saw your face in the stars

On the road again and counting down the days, wishing you were here in my arms

A boat that flows on the river, a bird that soars on the sea

Through the storms and bad weather babe, the only thing that we need

Is love, burning love, well it's a wildfire love

Taking everything I see

Yeah, it's a love, red hot love, well it's a wildfire love

Baby, that's just you and me, oh

We were never just a waste of time maybe you should see the way we shine

See the lights from a thousand miles away, yeah

Girl, without you I would lose my mind, you're living proof that love is blind

All I want in the world is you and me

Yeah, and our love, burning love our wildfire love

Taking everything we see, yeah

Our love, red hot love, well it's a wildfire love

Maybe that's just you and me

Oh, that's just you and me

Oh, that's just you and me

Hold On lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Only heartbreak on the 6 o'clock news

They ought to call it the 6 o'clock blues

Seems like this whole world is going wrong

There ain't no kind of love song

We gotta hold on, we gotta hold on

There ain't nothing that a little love can't get us through

We gotta hold on, when it feels like hope is gone

There is a remedy for you and me

We gotta hold on to each other, yeah

People say, let it go

That's just the way it is, don't you know

But I don't see how it can do any harm

To keep reaching out with open arms, yeah

We gotta hold on, we gotta hold on

There ain't nothing that a little love can't get us through

We gotta hold on, when it feels like hope is gone

There is a remedy for you and me

We gotta hold on to each other, yeah

Oh to each other now, now

Everybody (everybody), understands (hold on)

Everybody needs a helping hand

Oh, everybody, yeah (everybody)

They understand now everybody needs, everybody needs a helping hand, y'all

We gotta hold on, we gotta hold on

There ain't nothing that a little love can't get us through

We gotta hold on, when it feels like hope is gone

There is a remedy for you and me

We gotta hold on to each other (hold on), yeah (hold on)

Oh to each other, yeah

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on)

Oh to each other, yeah

Turn It Up lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Once there was a thankless leader blinded by a golden ring

Now there's no more peaceful gatherings

Take me 'cross the aisle now baby, let me see how y'all get down

Take a hopeful sound and make it loud

I said, turn it up

When I've had enough

I wanna feel the love

Turn it up (turn it up, oh)

Once there was a paradise where a boy saw suffering

He raised his voice up loud and began to sing

Oh, all the people gathered 'round him, he cried out a freedom song

Everyone began to sing along

Oh, he said, turn it up

'Cause I've had enough

I wanna feel the love

Yeah, oh turn it up (turn it up, oh)

They said, be quiet little girl but you amplified the sound

Of a million broken hearts from all around

You can hear the children crying

It's not safe to go outside

We're free but we gotta keep our kids alive

Oh y'all, we can't let 'em down

Turn it up

'Cause I've had enough (oh, yeah)

I wanna feel the love

Ah c'mon, turn it up

Turn it up, oh

'Cause I've had enough (turn it up, oh)

I wanna feel the love

Oh, yeah, turn it up

Ah, turn it up, turn it up

Not Tonight lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Don't need reason, don't need a rhyme

French champagne or a box of wine

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

She can shake it up, she can break it down

Cool blue jeans or an evening gown

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

She don't ask for roses, she don't ask for much

She says, if I'm all she's got, she's got more than enough

I get so low solo, she gets me back high

She says, Mondays are just Fridays in disguise

And hey babe, it's gonna be alright

I don't need a reason, don't need a rhyme

French champagne or a box of wine

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

She can dress up, she can get down

Cool blue jeans or an evening gown

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

No, not tonight, no, not tonight

I don't need perfection, she don't mind mistakes

If she's all I got, then I've got more than I can take

She's says hey babe, it's gonna be alright

I don't need a reason, don't need a rhyme

French champagne or a box of wine

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

She can shake it up, she can break it down

Cool blue jeans or an evening gown

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

No, not tonight, no, not tonight

Let it go, let it grow

Let it fade away with the light

We can worry about it tomorrow but not tonight

Let her go, let her grow, let her fade away with the light

We can worry about it tomorrow but not tonight

No, not tonight, no, not tonight

I don't need a reason, don't need a rhyme

French champagne or a box of wine

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

She can break it up, she can shake it down

Cool blue jeans or an evening gown

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

No, not tonight, no, not tonight

No, not tonight, no, not tonight

We can worry about it tomorrow but not tonight

We Are One lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

We are one, you and I, we don't even have to try

It's supposed to be this way

Like a sun shining light in the middle of the night

Girl, you brighten up my day

We are one, you and I, like the color of the sky

When the clouds are blown away

So much fun, you and I, we don't need a reason why

And together we will stay

And oh, it's magic

When a chill is running down my spine

Here we are (we are one, you and I)

Oh, yeah, here we are (we are one, you and I)

Here we are, where no one else can ever be

I am apart of you and you're part of me

We are one, you and I, to the left or to the right

Meet you somewhere in between

Like a child whose eyes never noticed black and white

'Cause it's all they've ever seen

We are one, you and I, up until the day we die

And forever on it goes

So much fun, you and I, let your soul and spirit fly

Where we end up no one knows

And oh, it's magic

When a chill is running down my spine

Here we are (we are one, you and I)

Oh, yeah, here we are (we are one, you and I)

Yeah, yeah, here we are where no one else can ever be

Yeah, I am apart of you, you're part of me

We are one, you and I

Everybody But You lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

When you walk in a room everything stops

And all eyes turn to you and every jaw drops

My friends keep on, keep on askin' what I did to make this happen

Why's a beauty queen standing here with me

Everybody sees, everybody knows

Everybody but you-oo-oo

Sees everything so different than you do-oo-oo

Thank God that you don't listen

When they say that you're too good for me and that you're way out of my league

That's okay as long as it stays true to everybody but you-oo-oo

I wish that I could say

You love me 'cause I'm funny or maybe for my brain

We know it ain't the money, no

The truth is, truth is you're the one with all the smarts and all the fun

I'm just a lucky man

Everybody understands

Everybody but you-oo-oo

Sees everything so different than you do-oo-oo

Thank God that you don't listen

When they say that you're too good for me and that you're way out of my league

That's okay as long as it stays true to everybody but you-oo-oo

Oh, everybody but you

Everybody sees it, everybody knows it's true

Everybody says it every time they're around me and you

Everybody sees it, everybody knows it's true

Everybody, everybody, everybody, yeah

Everybody but you-oo-oo

Sees everything so different than you do-oo-oo

Thank God that you don't listen

When they say that you're too good for me and I know you're way out of my league

That's okay as long as it stays true to everybody but you-oo-oo (everybody but you)

Oh, everybody but you-oo-oo (everybody but you)

Everybody but you-oo-oo (everybody but you)

Yeah, everybody but you

Lonely On A Saturday Night lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I just can't believe you're here alone

Sittin' in the corner while a party's going on

My heart made my feet walk up to you

There's so many things that we could do

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely (shouldn't be lonely)

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely (shouldn't be lonely)

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely

Lonely on a Saturday night

(Oh, yeah, yeah)

An angel by herself, I don't understand

Tell me where's your friends and where's your man

If I bought you a drink, would you tell me your name

'Cause if I didn't ask, I'd leave here ashamed

'Cause someone like you shouldn't be lonely (shouldn't be lonely)

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely (shouldn't be lonely)

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely

Lonely on a Saturday night

(Oh, yeah, yeah)

Lonely on a Saturday night

(Oh, yeah, yeah)

Straight off the cover of a magazine

Dancing right up close to me

Best damn woman that I've ever seen

Oh, yeah

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely

Can I be lonely with you tonight

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely (shouldn't be lonely)

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely (shouldn't be lonely)

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely

Lonely on a Saturday night

Oh, yeah, yeah

Lonely on a Saturday night

Oh, yeah, yeah

Lonely on a Saturday night

Why lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Baby, I don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna miss a moment with you

Won't let the stars fade tonight

Tell me too and I will shoot down the moon

Don't you keep me guessing, here's my only question

Why baby, why waste a moment like this

Give me all you've got to give

Let me be the one you can't resist

Why, tell me why would we ever deny

What feels so damn right

If this is the where and now's the when then tell me why

Why, why, why, why

When a million little things add up

To something that we both can't explain

We can say nothing at all

'Cause your eyes say everything

Why, baby why waste a moment like this

Give me all you've got to give

Let me be the one you can't resist

Why, tell me why would we ever deny

What feels so damn right

If this is the where and now's the when then tell me why

Why, why, why, why

You're in my head, you're in my heart

In the hands of fate

I want you in my arms

Why, baby why waste a moment like this

Give me all you've got to give

Let me be the one you can't resist

Why, tell me why would we ever deny

What feels so damn right

If this is the where and now's the when then tell me why

Oh, oh, tell me why

Why, why, why, why

Rollin' lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Some days you're sittin' on top of the world

Some days you're stuck in a hole

Sometimes the only thing left to do, is watch it go up in smoke

Can you say, woah now, woah now, let it all go

Just let it all go

'Cause that sun's gonna shine

Leavin' these clouds way behind

Some things just look better in the rearview

Feelin' these wheels turn around

Burnin' this road up town to town

Play that hand you're holdin' and just keep rollin'

Let the tide come on in on the coast of Carolina, baby, roll in

I don't wanna know where we're going now, now

Don't know about you, but I could sure use

A little more salt in my breeze

A little less work, a little more play

A little more sway in my trees

With the windows down

'Cause that sun's gonna shine

Leavin' these clouds way behind

Some things just look better in the rearview

Feelin' these wheels turn around

Burnin' that road up town to town

Play that hand you're holdin' and just keep rollin'

Let the tide come on in on the coast of Carolina, baby, roll in

Yeah, I don't wanna know where we're going, yeah, no

'Cause that sun's gonna shine

Leavin' these clouds way behind

Some things just look better in the rearview

Oh, oh, yeah

Feelin' these wheels turn around

Burnin' these roads up town to town

Play that hand you're holdin' and just keep rollin'

Keep on rollin'

Gotta keep on rollin'

Oh, rollin'

Keep on rollin'

Half A Day Ahead lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I feel the daylight slipping

The summer sunshine winding down

I feel the warmth escaping another time, another town

I was redirected

Radio silence tuned me in

I felt more connected than anywhere I've ever been

Half a day ahead

Where night and day collide

Nothing changes between sunset and sunrise

Side by side, we watch our future come alive

Half a day ahead

City full of water

Islands drift into the skies

The reflected skyline, everlasting old and wise

I'm thankful for my sisters, oh, my brothers take me in

Slow me down a little, sing open up your heart and win

Half a day ahead

Yeah, where night and day collide

Nothing changes between sunset and sunrise

Side by side, we watch our future come alive

Half a day ahead

Half a day ahead

Where night and day collide

Nothing changes between sunset and sunrise

Side by side, we watch our future come alive

Half a day ahead

Change lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

How can I pretend

That from the start until the end

I'll get to keep the things I love

No matter how I plan

My world keeps shifting like the sand

When I try to hold on it all just slips away

And I pile my expectations

But winds of change come in and blow 'em down

As I grow old one thing stays the same

Always waiting there to meet me is change

And how the kids have grown

You can't turn back the clock, I know

I wish that time could just stand still

I find a chapter in my life

Good friends, a home I really like

I can't stop the pages as they begin to turn

And I find my inspiration

Like a candle the flame gets blown away

And as I grow old one thing stays the same

Always waking up to greet me is change

I wish I had more time

I wish that I could be a smile

Out on this road alone

I wish that I could stay home a while

And as I grow old one thing stays the same

Always waiting there to meet me is change

Always waking up to greet me

Trying so damn hard to beat me

Always waiting there to greet me is change

Losing My Religion lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

(originally by R.E.M.)

Oh life, it's bigger

It's bigger than you

And you are not me

The lengths that I will go to

The distance in your eyes

Oh no, I've said too much

I set it up

That's me in the corner

That's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no, I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper

Of every waking hour

I'm choosing my confessions

Trying to keep an eye on you

Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool

Oh no, I've said too much

I set it up

Consider this

Consider this, the hint of the century

Consider this, the slip

That brought me to my knees, failed

What if all these fantasies come

Flailing around

Now I've said

Too much

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

That was just a dream

That was just a dream

That's me in the corner

That's me in the spotlight

I'm losing my religion

Still trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no, I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

Oh, that was just a dream

Try, cry, why try

That was just a dream

Just a dream

Just a dream, dream

Looking For Lucky (2005)

State Your Peace

Hey Sister Pretty

The Killing Stone

Get Out Of My Mind

Another Year's Gone By

Free To Everyone

State Your Peace lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Why am i always the last one to say how i feel?

It's like driving down the middle of the road

with no hands on the wheel

And i keep hearing stories about the guy who was killed while he prayed

Well you should go ahead and say it 'cause we're all gonna die anyway

State your peace,

go ahead and say it i swear it can't get much worse

Make a piece of history,

a blessing from a curse... before it gets worse

You can try and be a hero but people keep dying everyday

You can keep earning money but your money keeps burning away

And it feels like the future's always waiting on the tip of my tongue

Like a cat holding back 'till it's too late the damage is done

State your peace,

go ahead and say it,

I swear it can't get much worse

Make a piece of history,

a blessing from a curse... before it gets worse

You can try and change the world by showing everyone a better way

But the world's gonna do what the world's gonna do at the end of the day

State your peace,

go ahead and say it,

I swear it can't get much worse

Make your peace with history,

a blessing from a curse

State your peace

blow it wide open, did you find you an oyster pearl

Make your peice with history

you just might be the one who can change the world

Can you save the world

You can change the world

Hey Sister Pretty lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Something so innocent,

began then came and went

keeps coming back to around to haunt you in the end.

You think we're fighting now,

it's all the same somehow,

loves tortured all artist wrecks the masterpeice again.

Used to be clear what the looking glass said,

now everythings hazzy baby nothings making sense.

Hey sister pretty, your lips are on the city,

everybodys waiting for the honeymoon to end.

I'm still trying to stop this thing from dying,

don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up again.

Nothing so powerful yet so frustrating,

Nothing so personal as a gift thats from your heart.

Nothing so damaging so devestating,

Nothing so closer yet so far apart.

It used to be clear what the looking glass said,

now everythings hazzy baby nothings making sense.

Hey sister pretty, your lips are on the city,

everybodys waiting for the honeymoon to end.

I'm still trying to stop this thing from dying,

don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up again.

Hey sister pretty, your lips are on the city,

everybodys waiting for the honeymoon to end.

I'm still trying to stop this thing from dying,

Don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up again.

Don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up you beat me up again

The Killing Stone lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I heard a preacher man speaking on the radio

Remember thinking that I'd like to tell him where to go

Go back to that book that you've been waving around

Open it up, and go to that part about

You without sin, pick up that stone

You without sin, pick up that stone

He's turning it over, to the other side

He's turning it over now, 'cause now you can't hide

All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath

The killing stone, oh

Saw another fella talking on the TV show

Trying to tell me how to live and just how I should vote

He says he believes in the sanctity of life

100,000 died

Tell me are you sanctified

Now you without sin, pick up that stone

You without sin, pick up that stone

He's turning it over, to the other side

He's turning it over now, 'cause you can't hide

All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath

The killing stone, oooohhhh

We're all looking for redemption

But is it for our souls

You without sin, pick up that stone

You without sin, pick up that stone

You without sin, pick up that stone

You without sin, pick up that stone

He's turning it over, to the other side

He's turning it over, turning it over now 'cause you can't hide

All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath

You can't hide beneath

The killing stone, oh, oh, oh

Killing stone

Oh no, you're down on

(The killing stone)

Stone, stone, oh

(The killing stone)

Stone

Get Out Of My Mind lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Last night had a crazy dream

You were everywhere it seemed

You were filling up my soul

Doin' everything to make me whole

Read about you in the Sunday paper

Saw your face on the evening news

When I woke everything was gone

And I remembered we were through

Don't come 'round here no more

[CHORUS:]

Hey get out of my mind

Then you tell me we got things to say

You come around here looking so fine

Makes it so hard to walk away

Oh, get out of my head

Because that look there could leave me dead

Then you tell me that you love me

Remember you were the one to leave

I came back home and I couldn't believe

I know I would have given anything

You took it all and you made me think

Why would she leave me for another man

What does he have, Lord, that I don't have

I see you stayin' in his fancy home

I put on Lauren and I drink alone and say

Don't come 'round here no more

[chorus]

I'll be there for you

I remember when I said that I would

Always love you, too

I lied

Don't come around no more

[chorus]

[repeat]
