Land of Opportunity Lyrics


I'm sailing away, to a Land of Opportunity.
The sun will shine, and birds will sing there everyday
I'm sailing away, and I hope that you remember me.
It was fun, we had our run. Hip hip hooray!

You said 'hello', I loved you so,
Just like in a movie scene.
I want you to know, I had to let go,
I'm falling in love again.

I'm running away, to a place where you won't bother me.
We won't talk for a while, we'll be okay.
And I'm changing my name to a word that's really hard to say.
It's no one's fault, I'm just too young, and you're insane.

I wasted my time, I missed all the signs,
And it ruined my holiday.
I want you to know, I had to let go,
I'm falling in love again

I just gotta believe there's something better.
I just gotta believe there's something more than you and me.
I've just gotta believe, I've just gotta believe.

You said 'hello', I loved you so,
I felt like a kid again.
I want you to know, I had to let go
I'm falling in love again.

I just gotta believe there's something better.
I just gotta believe there's something more than you and me.
I've just gotta believe, I've just gotta believe.

I'm sailing away to a Land of Opportunity.

    I Really Want It Lyrics


    So tell me what are we living for?
    I say we chuck inhibitions
    And sell our souls to rock and roll
    I need to know what I'm missing

    So turn it up on the stereo
    Somebody light the ignition
    What the hell are you waiting for?
    It's time to make a decision

    (Nah-oooh)

    I'm feeling the world go round
    It's spinning me upside down
    I'm finally homeward bound
    I'm not giving up
    It's crawling under my skin
    And I don't care if I sin

    I Really Want It
    I really want it
    I really want it right now
    I really want it right now

    If there's a maker up above
    Then why is nobody listening
    You show me hate, and I'll show you love
    It's not about your religion

    We're always lookin' to someone else
    Just take a look in the mirror
    'Cause all you need is inside yourself
    It couldn't be any clearer

    (Nah-oooh)

    I'm feeling the world go round
    It's spinning me upside down
    I'm finally homeward bound
    I'm not giving up
    It's crawling under my skin
    And I don't care if I sin

    I really want it
    I really want it
    I really want it right now
    I really want it right now

    The more we love, the more we learn
    The more we love, the more we burn
    The more we love

    So tell me what are we livin' for
    I say we chuck inhibitions
    And sell our souls to rock n' roll
    I need to know what I'm missin'

    (Nah-oooh)

    I'm feeling the world go round
    It's spinning me upside down
    I'm finally homeward bound
    I'm not giving up
    It's crawling under my skin
    And I don't care if I sin

    I really want it
    I really want it
    I really want it right now
    I really want it right now

    I Really Want It
  • A Great Big World explained the background of this song to The Huffington Post : "We had recently quit our day jobs and were 'full-time' musicians and writers for the first time," they said. "We were stepping into a new role in life and really honing in on our dreams. This was us venting and sort of rebelling against the norm and what was expected of us. It was a way to tell ourselves that we could have it all if we wanted it."

    Everyone Is Gay Lyrics


    If you're gay then you're gay
    Don't pretend that you're straight
    You can be who you are any day of the week
    You are unlike the others
    So strong and unique
    We're all with you

    If you're straight well that's great
    You can help procreate
    And make gay little babies
    For the whole human race
    Make a world we can live in
    Where the one who you love's not an issue

    'Cause we're all somewhere in the middle
    We're all just looking for love to change the world
    What if the world stops spinning tomorrow?
    We can't keep running away from who we are

    If you're gay then you're gay
    If you're straight well that's great
    If you fall in between that's the best way to be
    You've got so many options
    Every fish in the sea wants to kiss you

    'Cause we're all somewhere in the middle
    We're all just looking for love to change the world
    What if the world stops spinning tomorrow?
    We can't keep running away from who we are

    And we're all here in it together
    We're one step closer to breaking down the walls
    Everyone Is Gay

    Everyone Is Gay
  • A Great Big World told The Huffington Post the background to this song: "Our friends at EveryoneIsGay.com asked us to write the 'gayest song ever' for their compilation album they were putting together. They give advice to kids who are struggling with their sexuality. We wanted to speak to the kids who are bullied for being who they are, and to write a song we wish we could've had growing up. Because in the end, we're all human, no matter who you love."

    I Don't Wanna Love Somebody Else Lyrics


    Oh, I built a world around you
    Oh, you had me in a dream,
    I lived in every word you said
    The stars had aligned
    I thought that I found you
    And I Don't Wanna Love Somebody Else

    Oh, we left it all unspoken
    Oh, we buried it alive
    And now it's screaming in my head
    Oh, I shouldn't go on hoping
    Oh, that you will change your mind
    And one day we could start again
    Well I don't care if loneliness kills me
    I don't wanna love somebody else

    Oh, I thought that I could change you
    Oh, I thought that we would be the greatest story that I tell
    I know that it's time to tell you it's over
    But I don't wanna love somebody else

    I Don't Wanna Love Somebody Else
  • A Great Big World's Chad Vaccarino told The Huffington Post : "This was inspired by a toxic relationship that I was in. In a weird way, I enjoyed the pain I was feeling from it. I thought it was better than feeling nothing at all. And I didn't want to let go of it. I also made up the whole thing in my head. So there's that."

    Cheer Up! Lyrics


    Cheer Up!
    'Cause nothing really matters when you look up into outer space
    It's a great big world and there's no need to cry

    Cheer up!
    We're all interconnected to the reaches of the galaxy
    And my best friend says he came from the sky
    He traveled to the Earth aboard a pink spaceship,
    It's hard for him to hide behind those eyes

    Cheer up!
    The atoms in your body are as old as every dinosaur
    You're a special part of one big grand design

    Cheer up!
    We're all in this together to discover what we're living for
    Thirteen billion years and there's still time

    Every night I wish upon a star so bright,
    Waiting for the others to arrive

    Cheer up!
    'Cause nothing really matters when you look up into outer space
    It's a great big world and there's no need to cry
    Thirteen billion years and there's still time

    Cheer Up!
  • A Great Big World's Ian Axel told The Huffington Post the story behind this song: "We had just visited Yosemite and saw all the stars for the first time," he said. "You just can't see any in New York City. And seeing them gave us a new perspective on everything."

    "When we got home, I was talking to my parents and they were stressed out about something, and I wished they could've gotten to see what we saw in Yosemite," he continued. "That's what inspired this song. And also the fact that I had just gotten myself a Casio keyboard from the '80s, and also that we have a friend who we SWEAR is from another star system."
