Hilary Duff - Metamorphosis Lyrics

So Yesterday

You can change your life- if you wanna
You can change your clothes- if you wanna
If you change your mind
Well, that's the way it goes
But I'm gonna keep your jeans
And your old black hat- cause I wanna
They look good on me
You're never gonna get them back
At least not today, not today, not today
'cause

[CHORUS:]
If it's over, let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's already flown away

Laugh it off let it go and
When you wake up it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay
You can say you're bored- if you wanna
You can act real tough- if you wanna
You can say you're torn
But I've heard enough
Thank you... you made my mind up for me
When you started to ignore me
Do you see a single tear
It isn't gonna happen here
At least not today, not today, not today
'cause
[CHORUS]
If you're over me, I'm already over you
If it's all been done, what is left to do
How can you hang up if the line is dead
If you wanna walk, I'm a step ahead
If you're moving on, I'm already gone
If the light is off then it isn't on
At least not today, not today, not today
'cause
[CHORUS 2X]

Come Clean

Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no lie
I defy

[CHORUS:]
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm comimg clean, I'm coming clean

I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin
'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Then always staying in
Feel the wind
[CHORUS]
I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming clean
[CHORUS]
Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Some days I star off draggin' my feet
Some days I want to fly
Some days it all makes sense to me
Some days I just don't want to know why

[CHORUS:]
Hey, hey- I'm not giving up, no
Gonna stand up and shout it
No way- I'm not slackin' off or backin' out or crackin' up without doubt
I'm workin' it out

Sometimes I'm just surrounded by friends
Sometimes we've never met
Sometimes I pray for something I need
But hey, you never know what you're gonna get
and
[CHORUS]
[Spoken:]
It's hard enough to be what you are
Harder to be what you're not
It's hard to know what you need to get
Harder to know what you've got
[CHORUS 2X]

Little Voice

I won't tell you what I'm thinking
'Cause it's not the same thing you're thinking too
You could say I got a best friend
And she's always telling me what to do
She's out of sight but easty to find
She's in the front of my mind

[CHORUS:]
The little voice in my head won't let me forget
The little voice in my head is never misled
All of this noise is what keeps me from making a mess
The little voice in my head just won't let me get with you

La lala la la......
When I see you I admit
I start to lose my grip and all of my cool
You smell so sweet just like my perfume
What have we been doing since I left you
You're always there in my thoughts
But that doesn't mean that it's on
[CHORUS]
I know I sound insane, like I'm playing games
'Cause all i really want is you
But there are some things a girl won't do
[CHORUS]

Where Did I Go Right

I'm always too late
I see the train leaving
I'm always laughing
When it's not cool to smile
I'm always aiming
But somehow keep missing
So how did you get here
Something is wrong

[CHORUS:]
Where did I go right
How did I get you
How come all this blue sky around me
And you found me
Where did I go right
How did I get you
I don't know how I did
But somehow now I do

I'm always driving
Forget where I'm going
Should have turned left
But I was singing some song
And I, I am arriving
As everyone's leaving
But there you are waiting
Something is wrong
[CHORUS]
Makes no sense to me
No it isn't clear
But somehow you're standing here
Something gets to me
It's that nothing is wrong
[CHORUS 2X]

Anywhere But Here

When I'm in a crowd
Or on an island by myself
Silent or too loud
Wishing I was somewhere else
And I can't believe
You hit me fast and hard
When you turn to me and say
Never change the way you are
Trying to catch your eye
Things will never look the same
Now I can't deny
You're the moth and I'm the flame
There I go again
I should walk before I run
How can I explain
I can't stop what you've begun

[CHORUS:]
I'm falling through the door
Flying 'cross the floor
When you look at me suddenly it's clear

You're burning up my dreams
Crazy as it seems
I don't wanna be anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
What goes on inside
Is a mystery no doubt
A roller coaster ride
I may never work it out
Here's the brand new me
Skates around and floats on air
I'm a sight to see
Rainbow colors in my hair
You have set me free
The one who gets me there
[CHORUS]
Here is the place where
My head is spinning
Time is beginning
To race away
You come to throw me
Knock me off my feet
You give me wings to fly
The world goes crashing by again
[CHORUS 2X]

The Math

You're always trying to figure out
What I am all about
If you don't know what the answer is
Then just shut up and kiss
It shouldn't take forever
To put it all together

[CHORUS:]
If you can't do the math
Then get out of the equation
I am calling you back
This is * 69

Is it a minus or a plus
Does enough equal enough
If you can't do the math
Then nothing adds up
Tell me why I'm here
Sure I want someone to understand
But I don't need the stress
I'm not about being analyzed
Like it's some kind of test
Don't have to be a genius
To figure what's between us
[CHORUS]
You can spend your whole life analyzing
Justifying, quantifying, and dividing
'Till there's nothing anymore
Why don't you just close your eyes
And kiss my lips and let it go
Just let it flow
It's what I'm waiting for
Don't have to be a genius
To figure what's between us
[CHORUS 2X]

Love Just Is

When the night won't fall and the sun wont rise
And you see the best as you close your eyes
When you reach the top as you bottom out
But you understand what it's all about
Nothing's ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin' sense of you

[CHORUS:]
Love just is... whatever it may be
Love just is... you and me
Nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for... love just is

When you ask to stay and disappear
It seems you're gone but you're really here
When every move seems out of place
But every kiss is filled with grace
Some things never get defined
In your heart or in your mind
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin sense of you
[CHORUS]
Don't ever ask me for reasons
I can't get to you
Don't ever ask me for reasons
Why I live for you... I just do
[Repeat second stanza]
[CHORUS]

Sweet Sixteen

Today I'm gonna ride away
And feel the sun throughout my hair
Finally free to be who I wanna be
Who that is I don't really care
'Cuz I've got friends who love me
Blue skies are above me
My blonde hair is everywhere

[CHORUS:]
Sweet sixteen
Gonna spread my wings
Sweet sixteen
It's my chance to shine
Sweet sixteen
Discovering
Sweet sixteen
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen

Drivin' down to the club where we go to dance
Radio is blastin' and the top is down
There ain't nothing' in my way
'Cept the traffic of L.A.
And I've got friends who love me
Bright stars shine above me
My blonde hair is everywhere
[CHORUS]
Mamma loves me and a sister who shows me, and a daddy's always there
[CHORUS]
I wanna know what it feels like
I need to see it from the inside
I can taste a bit of what I will find
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen
[Repeat]
[CHORUS]

Party Up

You are driving me out of my mind
'Cause you take me everywhere but out at night
What more do you need for me to get with you

[CHORUS:]
I didn't see this coming
Why don't you start me up?
There's no more messin' around
(Come on and light me up)
This could be the start of something
Why don't you party-up
Time for you to come on down

I dream about it in my sleep
You seem to like me better when I creep
This time I won't lose
[CHORUS]
You roll me, you use me, you love me and then
You wrap me up and reel me in and use me again
You love me, you hate me, you say it's the end
I know your gonna do it again and again...
[CHORUS 2X]

Metamorphosis

I've been so wrapped up in my warm cocoon
But something's happening, things are changing soon
Im pushing the edge, feeling it crack
And once I get out, there's no turning back
Watching the butterfly go towards the sun
I wonder what I will become

[CHORUS:]
Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever I'm going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, I insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis

Things are different now when I walk by
You start to sweat and you don't know why
It gets me nervous but it makes me calm
To see life all around me moving on
Watching the butterfly go towards the sun
I wonder what I will become
[CHORUS]
[Spoken:]
Every day is a transformation
Every day is a new sensation
Alteration, modification
An incarnation, celebration
Every day is a new equation
Every day is a revelation
Information, Anticipation
Onto another destination
[CHORUS]

Inner Strength

Gotta find your inner strenght
If you can't then just throw life away
Gotta learn to rely on you
Beauty, strenght, and wisdom, too
You're beautiful inside and out
Lead a great life without a doubt
Don't need a man to make things fair
'Cuz more than likely he won't be there
Listen girl, gotta know it's true
In the end all you've got is you

Why Not

You act like you don't know me
When you see me on the street
You're makin' like i turn you off
When I know you think I'm sweet
It don't have to be like that
I guess you're insecure
If you say what's on your mind
I might answer 'Sure'
So I walk a little slower
And I try to catch your eye
Sometimes, it's so hard to see
The good things passing by
There may never be a sign
NO flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right

[CHORUS:]
Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not

You always, dress in yellow
When you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
You keep waiting where you are
For what, you'lle never know
Let's just get into your car
And go, baby, go
CHORUS]
Oh... oh
I could be the one
for you
Oh... yeah
Maybe yes,
maybe no
Oh... oh
It could be the thing to do
What I'm saying is
You gotta let me know
You'll never get to heaven or even to L.A.
If you don't believe theres a way
Why not
Take a star from the sky
Why not
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But... why not
Why not
[CHORUS]

Girl Can Rock

Hey!
Ready for the big time, ready for the small
Whatever's comin' to me, I'll be ready for it all
Sometimes it ain't easy, sometimes its not polite
Some days I don't get it, some days I get it right

[Chorus:]
It's in my heart, it's in my head
Thats what i said

Hey Boys are you ready for the shock
I'm living prook, the girls can rock
Spread the new around every single block
Hey boys, the girl can rock

Standin' in the spotlight workin' up a sweat
Givin' all i got and lovin' what i get
I can't hold back what i feel inside
and if i make you nervous, you better stop aside
[Chorus]
The girl can rock
Don't say maybe or call me 'baby'
I ain't crazy at all
[Chorus 2x]
I'm gonna live it up
I'll never give it up
I'm gonna spread the news around the block
It ain't no shock...the girl can rock [3x]
Yeah, Rock!
