Addicted to You Lyrics

I don't know just how it happened,
I let down my guard
Swore I'd never fall in love again
But I fell hard

Guess I should have seen it coming,
Caught me by surprise
I wasn't looking where I was going,
I fell into your eyes

You came into my crazy world like a cool and cleansing wave
Before I, I knew what hit me baby you were flowing through my veins

I'm Addicted to You,
Hooked on your love,
Like a powerful drug
I can't get enough of,
Lost in your eyes,
Drowning in blue
Out of control,
What can I do?
I'm addicted to you! (you, you, you)

Midnight blows in through the window,
Dances round the room
Got me hypnotized,
I'm getting high on the perfume

I couldn't live without you now,
Oh, I know I'd go insane,
I wouldn't last one night alone baby,
I couldn't stand the pain!

I'm addicted to you!
Hooked on your love,
Like a powerful drug
I can't get enough of,
Lost in your eyes,
Drowning in blue
Out of control,
What can I do?
I'm addicted to you!

Addicted to You

The 23-year-old Avicii wrote this song with the 71-year-old songwriter Mac Davis, who is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame thanks to his Elvis Presley compositions, which include "In The Ghetto" and "A Little Less Conversation." Davis lent a timeless story to the song, comparing his unconditional love for a girl to a drug addiction. It's a storyline that has permeated many hits, including '80s classics by Robert Palmer and Huey Lewis & the News.

Davis said that he wrote this song the way he always does: sitting for hours with his guitar on his lap. He said in Rolling Stone that Avicii is like "a mad scientist, with his computer and his focus," adding, "I may be an old fart, but I love EDM."

Audra Mae is the vocalist on this track - she can also be heard on another cut from the album, "Long Road to Hell." Mae is an Oklahoma singer/songwriter who also performed on "Beekeeper's Daughter" by The All-American Rejects.

The song's Bonnie and Clyde-themed music video stars Swedish actresses Hedda Stiernstedt and Madeleine Martin as two ill-fated lovers who embark on a wild cross-country crime spree. The clip was filmed in December 2013 over the course of six days.

Lay Me Down Lyrics

I feel weak, things get tough
Sometimes my knees can barely hold me up
I'm no fool, but it's said
You gotta walk a mile 'til you're outta my head

Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Cast your light, give a damn
You gotta make a move and show me where we can stand

Lay Me Down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
(Come on)

Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
(Come on)

Tell me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
Tell me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need

I got the time, it'll be alright, yeah, I got the time
That you need (Yeah)

We all weep, bleed the same
If you get the picture, leave it outta the frame
In the now, take a chance
Make a mess, and don't forget that life is a dance

Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Cast your light, give a damn
You gotta make a move and show me where we can stand

Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
(Come on)

Lay me down in darkness (Yeah)
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need

Show me I'm the one tell me I'm the one that you need
(Yeah)
Show me I'm the one tell me I'm the one that you need
Show me I'm the one tell me I'm the one that you need
Show me I'm the one tell me I'm the one that you need

Mmmm-mmm me, show me baby baby tell me that's me, yeah
I got the time, it'll be alright, yeah
I got the time that you need. Come on!

Lay Me Down

This song finds Avicii collaborating with guitarist Nile Rodgers, who is best known for his work with Disco pioneers Chic and on Daft Punk's Random Access Memories album.

The song features the vocals of Adam Lambert, who first came to prominence in 2009 after becoming the runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol. Avicii said: "I really fell in love with his voice. He just captured something on that first take."

Rodgers and Lambert were one of several major talents that Avicii recruited for his True album. He told Rolling Stone: "I wanted to collaborate with songwriters who weren't used to electronic music, which was interesting from the start."

Speed Lyrics

Speed

This song was inspired by the emotion of the Grand Prix drivers when they are behind the wheel, the ebb and flow of the race and the intensity of the atmosphere at the racetrack. Avicii immersed himself in the world of motor racing by visiting the British Lotus F1 Team's home at Enstone, Oxfordshire where he undertook an intensive course and found inspiration to create the tune.

Avicii performed the experimental track live for the first time in full at the burn Yard Live event in Budapest on July 26, 2013.

The song's music video was directed by the Russian filmmaker Pavel Kim, after he won a competition in which people from over 29 countries submitted their video entries for the track. Pavel's clip, titled "Midnight Race," imagines Formula One in 2077.

Here are a few more songs in our database inspired by motor racing:

"Collision Of Worlds" by Robbie Williams.
"Schumacher the Champagne" by The Wombats.
"Racing In The Street" by Bruce Springsteen.

In addition, the guitar solo at the end of Def Leppard's "Demolition Man" was played by former Formula 1 driver Damon Hill.

Dear Boy Lyrics

So bold and fine, I've known you for some time
Whole life changed while bones like yours and mine
Go dance in the woods and down we go, down, down
Oh boy, you're mine, do you remember old times?

Oh, Dear Boy, I wanna follow you
You're a wild boy, I am a wild girl, too
Oh dear boy, it's so hollow without you
In a world with everything but it won't do

Oh, dear boy, I wanna follow you
You're a wild boy, I am a wild girl, too
Oh, dear boy, it's so shallow without you
It's a chance, boy, everything I ask of you

Sweet love of mine, destruction ain't a crime
For those who find love as a game like you and I
Go dance in the waters of all the tears we have cried
Oh boy, we're fine, do you remember our time?

Oh, dear boy, I wanna follow you
You're a wild boy, I am a wild girl, too
Oh dear boy, it's so hollow without you
In a world with everything but it won't do

Oh, dear boy, I wanna follow you
You're a wild boy, I am a wild girl, too
Oh, dear boy, it's so shallow without you
It's a chance, boy, everything I ask of you

The Days Lyrics

Under the tree where the grass don't grow
We made a promise to never get old
You had a chance and you took it on me
And I made a promise that I couldn't keep

Heart ache, heart break
All over town
But something flipped like a switch when you came around
And I'm in pieces, pick me up, and put me together

These are The Days we've been waiting for
Days like these you couldn't ask for more
Keep 'em coming
'Cause we're not done yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget

These are the days we've been waiting for
Rattle the cage and slam that door
And the rhythm is calling us as we're not just yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget

Out on the midnight
The wild ones howl
The last of the last boys have thrown in the towel
We used to believe we were stars aligned
You made a wish and I fell out of time

Time flew, cut through
All over town
You make me bleed when I look up
And you're not around
But I'm in pieces, pick me up, and put me together

These are the days we've been waiting for
Days like these you couldn't ask for more
Keep 'em coming
'Cause we're not done yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget

These are the days we've been waiting for
Neither of us knows what's in store
You just roll your window down and place your bets
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we'll never forget

And these are the days
And these are the days

The Nights Lyrics

Hey, once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to play
Hey, when face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Made memories we knew would never fade

One day my father—he told me,
"Son, don't let it slip away"
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,

"When you get older
Your wild life will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid."

He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember."
My father told me when I was just a child
These are The Nights that never die
My father told me

When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
Carve your name into those shinning stars
He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores.
Don't forsake this life of yours.
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."

One day my father—he told me,
"Son, don't let it slip away."
When I was just a kid I heard him say,

"When you get older
Your wild life will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid."

He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember."
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me

These are the nights that never die
My father told me

The Nights Song Chart

This folk-dance number features uncredited vocals by Nicholas "RAS" Furlong. The American songwriter and producer's first commercial success was in 2010, when he co-wrote Big Time Rush's "Count On You." He came to the attention of well-known songwriter, producer, and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who signed him to a publishing deal that year. Since then, Furlong has worked with such artists as Colbie Caillat ("All of You"), Jordin Sparks ("I Am Woman") and 5 Seconds of Summer ("Everything I Didn't Say").

This ode to living life began as a Furlong song written as an ode to his father, whom he told Yahoo had always encouraged him to pursue his creative dream and 'live a life I will remember." Furlong sent the original demo, titled "My Father Told Me", to Ash Pournouri, Avicii's manager, who recognized it had that same sense of euphoria which characterizes so much of the Swedish DJ's music. "It made absolute sense to work on it with RAS," Pournouri said, "to make it more 'us' and that's what I did. Then I presented it to Tim (Avicii) and sat with him to finish the production and music."

The video was produced, directed by, and stars "professional life liver" Rory Kramer (Dream Maker). The clip takes the track's message to heart by containing an action-packed recollection of Kramer's own life. Avicii said: "The video for 'The Nights' is awesome…it is EXACTLY what I feel when I play the song live and it is the perfect representation of the lyrics. It is so much fun."

The song was used to soundtrack SportsCenter's "Images of 2014" segment on ESPN, which recapped 2014's best moments in sports.
