Love, and to be Loved.

我愛你,你是自由的。

Begin Again

Gretta (Keira Knightley) and her long-time boyfriend Dave (Adam Levine) are college sweethearts and songwriting partners who decamp for New York when he lands a deal with a major label. But the trappings of his new-found fame soon tempt Dave to stray, and a reeling, lovelorn Gretta is left on her own. Her world takes a turn for the better when Dan (Mark Ruffalo), a disgraced record-label exec, stumbles upon her performing on an East Village stage and is immediately captivated by her raw talent. From this chance encounter emerges an enchanting portrait of a mutually transformative collaboration, set to the soundtrack of a summer in New York City. Written by The Weinstein Company

Lost Stars

Please don’t see
Just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies
Please see me
Reaching out for someone I can’t see

Take my hand, let’s see where we wake up tomorrow
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand
I’ll be damned, Cupid’s demanding back his arrow
So let’s get drunk on our tears

And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

Who are we?
Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?
Woe is me
If we’re not careful turns into reality

But don’t you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer
Turn the page, maybe we’ll find a brand new ending
Where we’re dancing in our tears

And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

And I thought I saw you out there crying
And I thought I heard you call my name
And I thought I heard you out there crying
Just the same

And God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light … light up the dark?

And I thought I saw you out there crying
And I thought I heard you call my name
And I thought I heard you out there crying
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?
Are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

A Step You Can’t Take Back

So you find yourself at this subway
With your world in a bag by your side
And all at once it seemed like a good way
You realize it’s the end of the line
For what it’s worth

Here comes the train upon the track
And there goes the pain, it cuts to black
Are you ready for the last act?
To take a step you can’t take back?

Taken all the punches you could take
Took ‘em all right on the chest
Now the camel’s back is breaking
Again, again
For what it’s worth

Here comes the train upon the track
And there goes the pain, it cuts to black
Are you ready for the last act?
To take a step you can’t take back?

Did she love you?
Did she take you down?
Was she on her knees when she kissed your crown?
Tell me what you found

Here comes the rain, so hold your hat
And don’t pray to God, ‘cause He won’t talk back
Are you ready for the last act?
To take a step you can’t take back, back, back?
You can’t take back, back, back.

So you find yourself at this subway
With your world in a bag by your side

Tell Me If You Wanna Go Home

Maybe
You don’t have to smile so sad
Laugh when you’re feeling bad
I promise I won’t

Chase you
You don’t have to dance so blue
You don’t have to say I do
When baby you don’t

Just tell me
The one thing you never told me
Then let go of me
Hell just throw me

Maybe if you wanna go home
Tell me if I’m back on my own
Giving back a heart that’s on loan
Just tell me if you wanna go home

Oh maybe
You don’t have to kill so kind
Pretend to ease my mind
When baby you won’t

Oh sugar
You don’t have to be so sweet
I know who you’re going to meet
Don’t say that I don’t

So maybe
I won’t let your memory haunt me
I’ll be sleepwalking
With the lonely

If you’re taking me home
Tell me if I’m back on my own
Giving back a heart that’s on loan
Just tell me if you wanna go home

Tell me if you wanna go home
Cause I’m just not sure
Tell me if I’m back on my own
How to get back there
Giving back a heart that’s on loan
And I just can’t bear
Tell me if you wanna go home
If you’re not there

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Baby

If you’re taking me home
Tell me if I’m back on my own
Giving back a heart that’s on loan
Tell me if you wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go, wanna

Cause I’m just not sure
How to get back there
And I just can’t bear
If you’re not there

Tell me if you wanna go home
Cause I’m just not sure
Tell me if I’m back on my own
How to get back there
Giving back a heart that’s on loan
And I just can’t bear
Just tell me if you wanna go home
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go, wanna

Wanna go, wanna
Wanna go, wanna

Like A Fool

We take a chance from time to time
And put our necks out on the line
And you have broken every promise that we made
And I have loved you anyway

Took a fine time to leave me hangin’ out to dry
Understand now I’m greivin’
So don’t you waste my time
Cause you have taken
All the wind out from my sails
And I have loved you just the same

We finally find this
Then you’re gone
Been chasin’ rainbows all along
And you have cursed me
When there’s no one left to blame
And I have loved you just the same

And you have broken every single fucking rule
And I have loved you like a fool

Coming Up Roses

When you were asleep
And I was out walking
The voices started to speak
And they wouldn’t stop talking

There were signs all around
It really got my mind racing
You were right all along
Something’s gotta change

Hold on
Hold on they’re not for me
Hold on
Cause everything’s coming up roses,
Roses

Now we’re back on the street
Found a song that’s worth singing
The blur that knows a defeat
While your victory bell’s ringing,

My whole life’s turned around
For this thing you keep chasing
You were right all along
It’s me who’s got to change

Hold on
Hold on they’re not for me
Hold on
Cause everything’s coming up roses

(Hold on, Hold on)
Aaahhh
(Hold on, Hold on)
Aaahhh
(Hold on, Hold on)
(Hold on, Hold on)
Aaahhh
(Hold on, Hold on)
Aaahhh
(Hold on, Hold on)
Aaahhh
(Hold on, Hold on)

Hold on
Hold on they’re not for me
Hold on
Cause everything’s coming up…
Roses

(Everything’s coming up roses
Everything’s coming up roses
Hold on, Hold on)

Roses

(Hold on, Hold on
Everything’s coming up roses
Hold on, Hold on
Everything’s coming up roses
Hold on, Hold on)

Roses

(Hold on, Hold on)

Roses
