Mandy Moore "Wild Hope" Lyrics

Here are the lyrics to Mandy Moore's new album "Wild Hope"! (Semi-taken from her album jacket -- There were some mistakes!) Enjoy!

Track One: "Extraordinary"

I was a daydream
Quiet and unseen
I lived in stories
But inside I kept a mystery
I was a starling
Nobody's darling
Flying in perfect circles
Just for company

Chorus:
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be
Extraordinary

A midnight airplane
A window glowing
I know I am another
Sparkle in the sky
I shine uncovered
Still undiscovered
But you might see me in the corner of your eye

*Chorus*

Waking up to a week of Sundays
I've got my own parade
Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe
Wind is playing in the trees
Kicking up confetti leaves
Seems as if it's all to say

And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be
Extraordinary
Extraordinary


Track Two: "All Good Things"

All good things
All good things
All good things

Not sure where to go
Everybody I know
Says I'm too forgiving
And now that I'm gone
I don't want to move on
I just keep reliving

Chorus:
All good things
Oh I wish you
All good things
Come to an end
All good things
Oh I wish you well

Lost inside of my head
Empty side of the bed
I feel this place without you
I keep pushing the bruise
'Cause I don't want to lose
What I loved about you

*Chorus*

I can think of a million ways
You proved you weren't the one
So live inside of your shades of grey
And never mind the sunshine
That I'll find

I got so much space now
I got a whole house with the wind blowing through
I don't need somewhere to hide
I've got this whole world inside
I was accustomed to showing you

*Chorus*
Ohhh all good things
Oh oh
All good things oh oh, oh oh
All good things
Oh I wish you well

Track Three: "Slummin' In Paradise"

I'm a long way off
But I'm still around
Sitting on the couch
And if I take my time
All the others give in
You still feel like you're standing in line

I just know that you're worth the wait
It's of no concern
It's a risk I'd gladly take
From time to time

Chorus:
So don't worry about yourself at all
I'll hang your work up on my wall
Hose you down and dress you up real nice
With some brand new plans and a fancy car
Try to place your superstar
You can tell the story of your life
Without slummin' in paradise

I wonder how you feel
Or do I?
Standing on the corner
How's your view?
From the other side
Oh Mr. Right
It's not a pretty sight-- alone

*Chorus*

You won't often see this letter
Handed over right away
I know the first time I found you wonderful

*Chorus*

Oh oh oh
Slummin' in paradise
Slummin in paradise
Ohhh


Track Four: "Most of Me"

I'm not ready to confront
I'd rather cement my words this way
This could be the easy road out
But I'm just not all that happy

So I'm writing all this down
And I'll file it in a drawer-- someday
In lieu of a conversation
We'd probably forget to have -- anyway

Chorus:
I won't hold anything
And I won't hold anything in
Feel like I know where this is going
And I might know how it ends
But I'm still
Willing to begin

You should know my story by now
And why I'm optimistic -- cautiously
I understand it's not your fault
And I'm not takin' anything back
You still end up with ohhh
Most of me

*Chorus*

I expect you to fly from New York to LA
And land on my doorstep
Oh and smile at me and say
It was worth it to see most of me
Oh do you love most of me?

You're just crossing paths
Oh with the way -- he left me
And I'm not sayin' a word
I -- am watching you -- quietly
'Cause you're gonna have to prove me wrong
Before I know this is right
And we don't have to decide tonight
Just wait for me -- patiently
Oh and you'll get all of me
Oh

*Chorus*

Yea I'm still -- willing to begin


Track Five: "Few Days Down"

It's a take-out weekend
It's a fake-out smile and pretend
If nobody sees you cry
You can say it was raining outside

Chorus:
And all that you want
Is a few days down
All that you need
A little time -- to drown
It's to be expected
With all the weight you carry 'round
All that you want is
A few days down
Oh
A few days down
(Oh)

It's a short vacation
To a foreign nation
Oh, nothing familiar here
Just you and your lonesome heart complaining

*Chorus*

I'm looking out
Ten stories high
And like a blanket lifted
The quiet night
The city finally waking up
The morning light

*Chorus*

A few days down
Oh
A few days down


Track Six: "Can't You Just Adore Her?"

She likes chocolate in the morning
She drinks her coffee late at night
You can sense that she is guarded
That's alright
She'll fall asleep while you're still talking
With unfinished books beside her bed
She'll cancel all of her appointments
And go shopping instead

Chorus:
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd expect
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet?
Can't you just adore her?
Oh can't you just adore her?

She loves to watch the sunset
But she is partial to the rain
With those tears and that umbrella
Her allure goes unexplained
You made dinner in your apartment
You both assume that she'll be late
She always has the best intentions
'Cause her goodness is innate

*Chorus*

And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd expect
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet
Can't you just adore her?
Oh why cant you just adore her?

I like my chocolate in the morning
I drink my coffee late at night


Track Seven: "Looking Forward To Looking Back"

Drove to your house in the hills
Where I wanted to be
The lights were all on
And I knew you were waiting for me
And that road became familiar
Like the mystery shape of your heart

Chorus:
And I know you loved me in your way
I'm looking forward to looking back on these days
And I'm fine
But I'm not okay
I'm looking forward to looking back on these days

The fog in the morning that clouded the world that we knew
It was almost enough being lonely and living for you
And the rain came to our window
And I wish I could've stayed

*Chorus*

Let it go
Let it go sunshine
Now you know
Now you know it's time
It's time

You were asleep while I gathered my things in the dark
The burns on my fingers were all that was left of -- the spark
Didnt' want to wake you
'Cause I knew I couldn't say
That I know you loved me in your way

*Chorus*

I'm looking forward to looking back on these days


Track Eight: "Wild Hope"

In the crazy world
Anything can happen if you will it to
I'm just a hazy girl
Blurring all the edges only seeing blue

Chorus:
It's a wild hope
A wild hope
A wild hope
Everything will be alright

Lost inside
A painting of a city on a hotel wall
Days go by
Wasting golden hours in the fall oh oh

*Chorus*

I catch a glimpse of our reflection
Beside you I see myself
We are the season's new collection
We look like everybody else

Walk alone
Through the crowded streets into the fading grey
Here and gone
Like a decoration for the holiday

*Chorus*

Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright


Track Nine: "Nothing That You Are"

Somebody told me
They saw you somewhere
Somebody hold me
'Cause suddenly I'm in the cold
Well I must be mistaken
It was somebody else
I know you all too well
Or do I?

Chorus:
I heard you say
We were one and the same
Well, wrong again
I could never do those things - you - did - to me
I will be okay
In time you'll fade
Into the nothing that you are
The nothing you are

Somebody sold me
Yea the same old story
Hadn't you told me
You were there the whole time
Well I must be mistaken
You were somebody else
I hope you burn in hell
Or do I?

*Chorus*

And your mistakes will hunt you down
Eventually
You'll know that when you hit the ground
Your weakness did you in and dealt me -- out
It's okay
I have the truth on my side

*Chorus*

The nothing you are
The nothing you are
The nothing you are


Track Ten: "Latest Mistake" (This song was half wrong in her CD jacket! The correct lyrics are below!)

There is part of me that wants an answer
And part of me that doesn't want to know
Part of you that I am in love with
And the part that I am willing to let go

This is a delicate unraveling
Now and then I find pieces on the floor
Tiny little bits that tell me
Maybe I shouldn't take this
Or love you anymore

Someone's gonna have to fess up
Someone's gonna have to -- clean this mess up

Chorus:
I wanted you the first time
I loved you for the second
I don't know how that ever goes away
As far as I can tell
You're really good at talking
I think it's time -- you let me know
I'm just your latest mistake

Wonder what will make you happy
I wonder what you'll do with it all
'Cause I have a map in my head
Somehow still don't understand why I always have to miss you
Why I have to make the call

Yea someone's gonna have to step up
Someone's gonna have to -- clean this mess up

*Chorus*

Before you drive me away take a good look at me, baby
Picture me not lying on your couch
I wish the best for you
Every time you go through this
Before you finally figure it out

*Chorus*

I think it's time you let me know
I'm your latest ah
I'm your latest mistake

Oh I'm your latest mistake


Track Eleven: "Ladies' Choice"

You did everything
I asked you not to
Look where it got you
I'm sure
You heard it before
But how could you?
And baby, why would you?

Chorus:
Goodbye, sweetheart
Countdown started
Words are heavy
But I'm far from broken hearted
Goodbye, stranger
I'll take the fall
(Your) Lies were tempting
Though you never really threw me off at all
Go ahead
Waste your time
Count me out
Take your place at the end of the line
Raise a glass
No surprise
Here's to us at the end of the line (oh, yea)
Heres' to us at the end of the line (oh, yea)

I'll miss -- the version of you
Who loved me
And all that they don't see
You said you could be good
Somehow you're guilty
And you're not even sorry

*Chorus*

::Humming::

Go ahead
Waste your time
Count me out
Take your place at the end of the line
Raise a glass
No surprise
Here's to us at the end of the line (oh, yea)
Heres' to us at the end of the line (oh, yea)


Track Twelve: "Gardenia" (Probably my favorite!)

Well, I put so much thought into getting ready
Now I know, that was the best part
It's so easy to get caught up in what I'm regretting
Forget what I got, from a wounded heart

Chorus:
I'm the one who likes Gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don't want to hang up the phone yet
It's been good
Getting to know me more

I've been seeing all my old friends in the city
Walking alone in Central Park
Doing all the things that I've neglected
I traded 'em all in
To be in your arms

*Chorus*

Will I hear my own voice
Sounds so silly
I keep on telling my story all around...
Everything I lost ain't so different
'Cause this is how everybody gets found

I'm the one who likes Gardenia (Ohhh)
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
And I don't want to hang up the phone yet
It's been good
Getting to know me more


*Hope this helps everyone!!!!
