Brick by Brick / Terrified

About every week or two, I find a new song that I just want to listen to over and over on repeat. Last week it was Jason Reeves/Kara DioGuardi's song "Terrified." Luckily, my roommate shared the same liking for that song, so we just listened to it on repeat for over an hour while chatting.

Yesterday I was in Borders just perusing the shelves, trying to figure out how to spend my $25 gift card I got for Christmas when this new song came on. I had never heard it before, but I instantly loved it. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing the 'now playing' song. So... I pulled out my phone and wrote a 'note' to myself with part of the lyrics from the chorus of the song so I could look it up later (this is a frequent occurrence for me). I came home to discover that it was actually a song by Train! Train usually has a very distinct sound, but for some reason it sounded different when I was at Border's. I downloaded Train's newest album, "Save Me, San Fransisco", and I love it. Brick by Brick is still my favorite track, but really, the whole album is awesome.

Anyway, when I find songs I love this much, I want everyone to love them as much as I do! So, I am posting both "Terrified" and "Brick by Brick" on here for you to enjoy as well. :) The lyrics and links are below. :)


"Terrified" (as sung by Katharine McPhee)
You by the light
Is the greatest find
In a world full wrong you're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely to the other side

You said it again my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark,
And I'm in love and I'm terrified.
For the first time in the last time
In my only life.

This could be good
It's already better than last
And love is worse than knowing
You're holding back
I could be all that you needed
If you let me try

You said it again my hearts in motion
Every word feels like a shooting start
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time in the last time
in my only

I only said it cause i mean it
I only mean cause it's true
So don't you doubt what i've been dreaming
Cause it fills me up and holds me close
Whenever i'm without you

You said it again my hearts in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time in the last time
In my only life


"Brick by Brick"
The dust has finally settled down
The sun is shining on these pieces that are scattered all around
This house was everything we knew
Its where we kept our love and
every single memory of me and you
Every letter, every note, every dress you never wore under your coat
Thrown away
Brick by brick, we can build it from the floor
If we hold onto each other, we'll be better than before.
And brick by brick,
we will get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and
when you took my breath away,
you took my breath away.

The sky has made it back to blue,
everything that's left is telling us the worst of it is through.
Home has never felt so right, there's nothing in the way.
There's nothing in between us
knowing where we're going is inside.
Every letter that I wrote,
every dress you never wore under your coat
Thrown away
Brick by brick, we can build it from the floor
If we hold on to each other,
we'll be better than before.
And brick by brick,
we'll get back to yesterday.
When I made your body shiver
and when you took my breath away.

All the pictures that we've taken
and the songs that we have played
They have all kept track and
followed back the love that we have made.
Now they're spread out on the
surface where we can try to congregate
It's not too late to believe that we can get it all again
Brick by brick, we can build it from the floor,
If we hold onto each other,
we'll be better than before.
And brick by brick,
we'll get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and
when you took my breath away,
you took my breath away.
Brick by brick
We'll get back to yesterday,
when I made your body shiver and
when you took my breath away,
you took my breath away.
