Can't Blame a Girl for Trying
[VERSE 1]
Here I am again, the same old situation
Why does the guy thing have to be so complicated?
I should’ve played it cool, instead, I made a fool
Oh, the things I do

[CHORUS]
‘Cause I’m young and I’m dumb
I do stupid things when it comes to love
And even if I always end up crying
Well, you can’t blame a girl for trying
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
No, you can’t blame a girl for trying
Uh-uh-uh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[VERSE 2]
I should’ve shut my mouth, I could’ve kept it quiet
I might have freaked him out ’cause I was so excited
But I just couldn’t wait, I took a leap of faith
Oh, the things I say

[CHORUS]
‘Cause I’m young and I’m dumb
I do stupid things when it comes to love
And even if I always end up crying
No, you can’t blame a girl for trying
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
No, you can’t blame a girl for trying
Oh-oh-oh-oh, no-oh-oh-oh, no

[BRIDGE]
And I think sometimes
I tend to be my own worst enemy
And maybe someday
I’m gonna catch a shooting star falling out of the blue
Doing what I do

[VERSE 3]
And just as I’m giving up, my heart is palpitating
Here comes another one, it’s so intoxicating
Being where I’ve been, I know that in the end
I’ll do it all again

[CHORUS]
‘Cause I’m young and I’m dumb
I do stupid things when it comes to love
And even if I always end up crying
Well, love will find me, there ain’t no denying
That you can’t blame a girl for trying
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
No, you can’t blame a girl for trying
Mmm, uh-uh-uh-mmm-mmm

The Middle of Starting Over
[REFRAIN]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[VERSE 1]
Cast out to sea
Drifting with the tide
And no way of finding me
Now that I’m free
Nothing but blue skies
Paradise in front of me

[PRE-CHORUS 1]
Awake from this dream
I hold my breath and just believe

[CHORUS]
Tired of all the troubles, they’ve been wasting my time
I don’t wanna fight, gonna leave it behind
Take it on faith, now I’m ready to fly
I’m in the middle of starting over
Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind
Chance to do it over, get it right this time
Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes
I’m in the middle of starting over
I’m in the middle of starting over

[REFRAIN]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[VERSE 2]
Alone in a room
Tearing down the walls
Painting over scars and bruises
Now this is home
Fill it up with love
And make the best of something new, yeah

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
As hard as it seems
I hold my breath and just believe

[CHORUS]
Tired of all the troubles, they’ve been wasting my time
I don’t wanna fight, gonna leave it behind
Take it on faith, now I’m ready to fly
I’m in the middle of starting over
Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind
Chance to do it over, get it right this time
Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes
I’m in the middle of starting over
[Bridge]
The colors and the stars seem a little brighter (Oh-oh)
Tomorrow isn’t far away (Not far away, oh-oh)
Through the hardest part
I’m working towards a happy ending

[CHORUS]
Tired of all the troubles, they’ve been wasting my time
I don’t wanna fight, gonna leave it behind
Take it on faith, now I’m ready to fly
I’m in the middle of starting over
Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind
Chance to do it over, get it right this time
Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes
I’m in the middle of starting over
Tired of all the troubles, they’ve been wasting my time (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don’t wanna fight, gonna leave it behind (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Take it on faith, now I’m ready to fly (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I’m in the middle of starting over
Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Chance to do it over, get it right this time (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I’m in the middle of starting over
I’m in the middle of starting over

[REFRAIN]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

White Flag
[VERSE 1]
Take, take it all away
Save my heart for another day
I’m up late on the telephone
And I’m all alone with the dial tone
Wait, wait ’til the sun is up
Drown my dreams in a coffee cup
Palms out, wanna beg for luck
But I’m way too proud
Never giving up

[CHORUS]
Oh, something’s gotta happen
Something’s gotta give
And something’s got to break
I know someday it’s gonna happen
Someday it’s gonna give
Can’t always be this way
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me under
It won’t upset me
I’ll go down
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I’ll throw the white flag of surrender
Knock me down
Not forever
Just for now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[VERSE 2]
Give, give everything I’ve got
Out of reach, but I’ll take a shot
Kick rocks in the parking lot
Feel like giving up
But I’ll never stop
Run, run, running like a fool
Never win if you never lose
Find hope and a little truth
Gonna learn new tricks
Gotta jump through hoops

[CHORUS]
Oh, something’s gotta happen
Something’s gotta give
And something’s got to break
I know someday it’s gonna happen
Someday it’s gonna give
Can’t always be this way
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me under
It won’t upset me
I’ll go down
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I’ll throw the white flag of surrender
Knock me down
Not forever
Just for now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[BRIDGE]
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, not forever, not forever
Won’t stay down
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, not forever, not forever
Won’t stay down

[CHORUS]
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me under
It won’t upset me
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me under
It won’t upset me
I’ll go down
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I’ll throw the white flag of surrender
Knock me down
Not forever
Just for now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[REPEAT]
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me under
It won’t upset me
And if the riptide comes to get me
And pulls me under
It won’t upset me
I’ll go down
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I’ll throw the white flag of surrender
Knock me down
Not forever
Just for now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Best Thing I Got
[VERSE 1]
So what if I just wanna be
A little bit out of my mind?
I let you take my heart and I like it
So what if I happen to be
A little bit out of my mind?
I bet I’ll steal your heart and you’ll like it

[PRE-CHORUS]
And I don’t think it’s any kind of secret
I feel you from a million miles away

[CHORUS]
And your love is the best thing that I got
And it’s only just begun
But it’s never gonna stop
It’s the best thing
The best thing that I got

[VERSE 2]
I know sometimes it seems like I
I’m just a little bit behind
I get back on the beat and you know it
And sometimes I can tell that I
I’m just a little out of time
I make you skip a beat and I know it

[PRE-CHORUS]
But I don’t think it’s any kind of secret
I think of you a billion times a day

[CHORUS]
Your love is the best thing that I got
And it’s only just begun
But it’s never gonna stop
It’s the best thing
The best thing that I got

[BRIDGE]
So don’t feel lonely tonight
You know I’ll never be hard to find
So don’t go out of your mind (Out of your mind)
You know I’ll never be too hard to find

[BREAKDOWN]
I know sometimes it seems like I
I’m just a little bit behind
I get back on the beat and you know it

[CHORUS]
Your love is the best thing that I got
And it’s only just begun
But it’s never gonna stop
It’s the best thing
The best thing that I got

[OUTRO]
Your love is the best thing
And it’s only just begun
It’s the best thing
