I Took A Pill In Ibiza lyrics - Mike Posner
I took a pill in Ibiza
To show Avicii I was cool
And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older
But fuck it, it was something to do
I'm living out in LA
I drive a sports car just to prove
I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes
But you don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
I get along with old timers
'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
And I can't keep a girl, no
'Cause as soon as the sun comes up
I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
But the truth is I can't open up
Now you don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs (Hey)
I took a plane to my home town
I brought my pride and my guitar
All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns
And the people still think I'm a star
I walked around downtown
I met some fans on Lafayette
They said tell us how to make it 'cause we're getting real impatient
So I looked 'em in the eye and said
You don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
Not That Simple lyrics - Mike Posner
When we first met, I was just a sophomore
We spent the night on Lydia's couch
I didn't know you were gonna break my heart then
I didn't know the pain I'd feel right now
And I smile, yes I smile
But underneath are memories
That I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying
To let go
But it's not that simple
Type of misery
All these mixed up signals
In my head
I still hear these echoes
Of when you loved me
But now you're just someone in my mind
That used to be mine
People used to say I didn't deserve you
I was cool with that, 'cause I felt the same
But then they played my song on the radio
And I don't think you liked who I became
And so you left, yeah, you left
On someone else's arm now
And I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying to let go
But it's not that simple
Type of misery
All these mixed up signals
In my head
I still hear these echoes
Of when you loved me
But now you're just someone in my mind
That used to be mine
'Cause baby, your beauty marks
Are like shooting stars
In my goofy heart is one of Cupid's darts
I'm just a nervous guy
And these words of mine
Won't reverse the time
To when you were mine
'Cause it's not that simple
Type of misery
All these mixed up signals
No, it's not that simple
Type of misery
All these mixed up signals
In my head
I still hear these echoes
Of when you loved me
But now you're just someone in my mind
Now you're just someone in my mind
That used to be mine
Be As You Are lyrics - Mike Posner
Virginia Woolf and poetry
No one seemed to notice me
Being young was getting so old
Cheap beer and cigarettes
Life was like a movie set
And I seemed to be given no role
But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon' understand
So at age 18
I cried to my mother
And she told me, "Young man,
There are moments when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
Just be as you are
Life is not always a comfortable ride
Everybody's got scars that they hide
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
Just be as you are."
They played me on the radio
And everything was changing, so
I thought I was all the way grown
But I can still remember in that cold November
When I realized I'm all alone
But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon' understand
So at age 22
I cried to my mother
And she told me, "Young man,
There are moments when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
Just be as you are
It doesn't matter if you become some star
Life is better when you open your heart
You don't always have to act so hard, no
Just be as you are (Just be as you are)"
Be as you are (Whoa)
Be as, be as you are (Be as you are)
Be as you are
(Be as you are) Be as, be as you are
If I'm speaking truthfully
I'm not who I used to be
And I know some people might laugh
'Cause my music doesn't sound the same
And my head's no longer shaved
I'm worried if I'm on the right path
But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon' understand
So at age 26
I spoke to my mother
And she told me, "Young man,
There are moments when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
Just be as you are
It doesn't matter if you become some star
Life is better when you open your heart
You don't always have to act so hard, no
Just be as you are (Be as you are)."
Be as you are (Be as you are)
Be as, be as you are (Be as you are)
Be as you are (Be as you are)
Be as, be as you are
Be as you are
In The Arms Of A Stranger lyrics - Mike Posner
I was 16 with a rocket
And some sunshine in my pocket
It was how you used words I didn't know
And the way you said my name
And cut up peaches and them brown eyes
Lit a flame up that we pretend doesn't glow
You know space and time wouldn't let you be mine
What I've come to understand
Is entropy wouldn't leave you to me
I'm right back where I began
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Holding her closely, remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm locked up
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
There were times I think about us
Overcome by the nostalgias
I am on call when you need me, let me know
But we're drifting in a strange way
I'm aware that it's mistake if I love you
It's a mistake if I don't
You know space and time wouldn't let you be mine
What I've come to understand
Is entropy wouldn't leave you to me
I'm right back where I began
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Holding her closely, remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm locked up
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
And she smelled like Michigan
And it felt like lust
And the nostalgia's killing me
And it's all because
I'm in the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Holding her closely, remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm locked up
In the arms of a stranger, stranger, stranger
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Holding her closely, remembering your touch
And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm locked up
In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love
Silence lyrics - Mike Posner (feat. Labrinth)
[Mike Posner:]
You only love me
In bits and pieces
I keep on workin'
You keep your secrets
That's not an insult
That's not a lie
That's just a statement
Proven by time
'Cause even when I have you
I don't really have you
I am not your last dude
Where'd you get this attitude?
Talkin' 'bout you're leavin'
'Cause you don't believe in
Me and all my reasons
Left me with these demons
And this little pen
And this nostalgic feeling
Only me alone
I'm faking all my smiles
And you're just killing me with silence
And you're just killing me with time
I don't know where to put my sorry's
You're running laps around my mind
How could you leave me on this tightrope?
And I feel nothing when it storms
You know you're killing me with silence
You hold your halo up with horns
You hold your halo up with horns
[Labrinth:]
You know you're clever, I'll give you that
You gave me heaven and took it back
That's not an insult
That's just the case
You've had your pretty mask on
For so damn long
That everybody thinks it's your face
But underneath your eyelids
I can hear the silence
Spreading like a virus
Why'd you wear disguises?
Why'd you have to cut me?
Then act like it's nothing
This time I'm not bluffin'
How'd you know I'm bluffin'
Every single time
Wicked little mind
Gets inside of mine
And I can fake a smile
[Mike Posner & Labrinth:]
But you're just killing me with silence
But you're just killing me with time
I don't know where to put my sorry's
You're running laps around my mind
How could you leave me on this tightrope?
And I feel nothing when it storms
You know you're killing me with silence
You hold your halo up with horns
You hold your halo up with horns
Ho-o-o-rns
(You)
Ho-o-o-rns
(Oh Lord)
Ho-o-o-rns
(Whoo-oh-oh)
Ho-o-o-rns
You hold your halo up with horns
Ho-o-o-orns
Ho-o-o-rns
(Oh no, no, no)
Ho-o-o-orns
You hold your, you hold your, you hold your
Ho-o-o-orns
You hold your, you hold your, you hold your
Ho-o-o-orns
And you're just killing me with silence
Iris lyrics - Mike Posner
If I could be just one thing
I would be what you're craving
6 foot 3 with steel-blue eyes
Sweep you off of your feet before you count to 5
But the truth is I am just a man
Standing 5 foot 10 doing the best I can
And I've lived long enough to see
You will never be craving me
Oh, I watched her go
After she planted her love in the top soil
And from the top soil, an iris bloomed
It was pretty in May, but it died in June
If I could sing the way I feel inside
It'd sound happy and sad at the same damn time
'Cause when you smiled at me on that dance floor
It was the prettiest mask that you ever wore
Oh, I watched her go
After she planted her love in the top soil
And from the top soil, an iris bloomed
It was pretty in May, but it died in June
From the top soil, an iris bloomed
It was pretty in May, but it died in June
Only God Knows lyrics - Mike Posner
Only God knows
Only God knows
Only God knows how hard I've been trying
Only God knows
Only God knows
Only God knows the trouble on my mind
"There's more to life than living," a wise man told me this
Or maybe it was me who wrote it, I can't remember which
In any case what I mean, life's an unfinished poem
Don't go mad trying to figure out the ending
The day that Norman died, I found out through an email
The irony of that, I will not discuss in detail
My future is on thin ice and my past is all online
But only God knows the trouble on my mind
Only God knows
Only God knows
Only God knows how hard I've been trying
Only God knows
Only God knows
Only God knows the trouble on my mind
My walls are filled with artwork, my art is filled with paint
My head is filled with big old thoughts of all the things I ain't
I bet you know what that's like, though you never drop your guard
Only God knows the places that you're scarred
I'm sitting on a park bench in the city I don't know
Trying to convince myself that I'm not all alone
But my immediate surroundings suggest otherwise
Only God knows the trouble on my mind
Only God knows
Only God knows
Only God knows how hard I've been trying
Only God knows
Only God knows
Only God knows the trouble on my mind (mind)
Only God knows the trouble on my mind (on my mind)
Only God knows the trouble on my mind
Jade lyrics - Mike Posner
Met a girl, her name was Jade
Cuts her nails with a razor blade
Says she lives by no one's law
Ran my pride through a big chainsaw
Have you heard of D.B. Cooper?
I got pulled over by an old state trooper
I met a girl, her name was Jade
She cut my face with a razor blade
Yeah, I screamed out in fury
Yeah, but my cries were not heard
Yeah, the judge and the jury
Yeah, they could offer no cure
I met a girl, her name was Jade
She got a brand new man and they got engaged
The wedding's gon' be on a big green hill
They hope it won't rain but it probably will
The man, he was a football star
He broke his knee, now he sells cars
Only so much that words can do
Love was blind, but they cured that, too
You know, Gandhi has a son our age
He said the freedom thing's just one big cage
I met a girl, her name was Jade
Her husband died, but she kept his name
Yeah, she screamed out in fury
Yeah, but her cries were not heard
Yeah, her mom was so worried
Yeah, but she could offer no cure
Boss man calls for a meeting at noon
Big cigar in an oak board room
We got an idea and we think it's great
Said it was too much so we're gonna try eight
Who made love to Scarlet Jo?
And where the hell did Josh Hartnett go?
I met a girl, her name was Jade
Lived her whole damn life in a masquerade
Yeah, I screamed out in fury
Yeah, but my cries were not heard
Yeah, they said I'll never see 30
Yeah, they could offer no cure
I met a girl, her name was Jade
She cuts her nails with a razor blade
One Hell Of A Song lyrics - Mike Posner
This is what the Lord wants me to do
In my heart, I just believe that there's no proof
I think about the chorus, the melody's important
But nothing sounds sweeter than the truth
I used to sip the whiskey and hit the bong
I gave that up, now all my friends are gone
And my folks don't understand I ain't no macho man
But I know how to write one hell of a song
Yeah, I'm a shy young man with a real big heart
I still haven't found where I belong
But you know my sweet Lord gave me just one thing
Darling, I know how to write one hell of a song
Yeah, I know how to write one hell of a song
Wrote one for Snoop, did not take long
Wrote one for Bieber and one for Sean
And Jay Z offered me a deal
I said "Dawg, throw in another mil"
Cause you know I can write one hell of a song
Yeah, I'm a shy young man with a real big heart
I still haven't found where I belong
But you know my sweet Lord gave me just one thing
Darling, I know how to write one hell of a song
Yeah, I know how to write one hell of a song
James
Sometimes I stay up well past dawn
If God puts one in my head, that's what he wants
I'm a simple type of artist, I don't like to walk red carpets
I would rather write one hell of a song
Yeah, I wrote this and it's one hell of a song
Buried In Detroit lyrics - Mike Posner
I'm a writer and a lover
I'm a Midwest music man
And I've been to a lot of places
But I'm gon' end where I began
I took class in Carolina
Got high smoking joints
And now they know my name in Paris
But I'll be buried in Detroit
Next to my father, and my father's father too
I used to live in New York City
But baby, that ain't no substitute
Not for my hometown
That place people avoid
I've made love in every city
But I'll be buried in Detroit
I don't claim to be a prophet
I just speak my mind
I try to tell it like it is
And sometimes God makes it rhyme
I like my songs how I like my women
Honest and to the point
You see I got fucked up in Stockholm
But I'll be buried in Detroit
Next to my father, my father's father too
I used to live in New York City
But baby, that ain't no substitute
Not for my hometown
That place people avoid
I've made love in every city
But I'll be buried in Detroit
You know I ain't gon' live forever
Baby, it won't be long
At the wake they'll say "He made a lot of mistakes
But he could write hell of a song."
And I made, I made killing
Though I never really was employed
I had a girl from San Diego
But I'll be buried in
I killed a show in Indonesia
But I'll be buried in
I made love in every city
But I'll be buried in Detroit

Man, I always kept it righteous knowing it would come back to me
Even when my hunger was outweighing the strategy
And now I'd pray to God like I hope you a map for me
Up at 5 AM like nobody want it as bad as me
I guess hunger either kill you or it energize you
Motor city, boy, I been a driver
The young Detroit legend, I swear I got the city inspired
And bought Em out, too, just to solidify it
D-boy, d-boy, that's how I was raised
Boss up and put the city on, forever my ways
Me and ma started a charity to give the kids clarity
And take it further than the foundation we laid
Thanksgiving Day parade, I got carried through the city
And after that, I hope I get married in the city
And after that, I hope I get buried in the city
Even when I'm gone, you still gon' hear me through the city
[Mike Posner:]

Stay With You lyrics - Mike Posner
Take off you make-up, take off your clothes
I wanna wake up next to your nose
Would you let me linger on your lips
I'm still wrapped 'round your fingertips
And if I had me a rocket ship I just fly back home
'Cause I've looked in New York City
And I've checked in Boston too
I've found a couple that were pretty
But I'm still gonna stay with you
I'm gonna stay with you
I'm gonna stay with you
Why don't you slow down?
I can feel it all now
Your heart is raising, I'm still here
Let your hair down and fear not
'Cause I am going nowhere
Yes, I've looked in San Fransisco
And I checked all through L.A
I looked in Dallas, Texas
But something didn't feel the same
So I looked in Detroit City
And then I checked back at Duke
I found a couple that were pretty
But I'm still gonna stay with you
I'm gonna stay with you
I'm gonna stay with you
Searched in New York City
Checked in Boston too
Found a couple that were pretty
Still gonna stay with you
Miley Cyrus lyrics - Mike Posner
When I was a young man I carried my pack
And lived the free life of the rover
I smoked on sativa, guitar on my back
And played my little songs all over
But in 2010, my country said, "Son
It's time to stop rambling, there's work to be done."
And they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun
And they shipped me away to the war
And the DJ played Miley Cyrus
A Party in the USA
And the DJ played Miley Cyrus
And we flew to the Afghan that day
I remember the day our orders came in
I was scared and my stomach was sinking
And when Martinez got shot, I cried with my gun
And I fired right back without blinking
And we moved down the range, we pumped ourselves well
We chased them with bullets
And we showered them with shells
And in ten minutes flood we blown them to hell
I thought of my mom in Atlanta
'Cause she always loved Miley Cyrus
A Party In The USA
Though the words seemed to take on new meaning
As I turned nineteen on that day
I looked at my brothers who'd once been young boys
And their eyes have gone black from the slaughters
And for ten weary weeks I kept myself for life
As we moved down the range towards the water
But then one day a shell knocked my ass over head
And when I woked up in my hospital bed
And when I saw what it had done I wished I was dead
I never knew there were worse things than dying
And the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus
As the doctors explained what was wrong
Yeah, the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus
But I no longer cared for that song
They collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimed
And they sent us all home to Atlanta
The armless, the legless, the blind and the insane
I wore fatigues and a blood red bandanna
We landed on the same runway we'd lefted on February
And when I looked down where my legs used to be
I thanked God that no one was waiting for me
To grieve and to mourn and to pity
And the DJ played Miley Cyrus, again
A Party In The USA
And no one cheered they just stared at us
And slowly turned their heads away
Yes, they slowly turned their heads away
Notebook Poem lyrics - Mike Posner
I fly over Nova Scotia, I swim the ocean blue
I land in New Orleans and eat Poe Boy or two
I am not the person people expect me to be
I'm not warm, I'm not over and I am not in between
I'm living in my car now, I sold all my stuff
Not because I needed money, because I had too much
I'm writing this in a notebook, that no one will ever read
So why am I still pretending I'm who they'd think I'd be?
I am in between the margins, these words are just me clothes
That I wear to cover up, what I want no one to know
Jungle-green, magenta, and underwater-blue
I love every single color, Teardrops + Balloons
Amor Fati lyrics - Mike Posner
Amor fati
Feel the vibe
Amor fati, woo
Growin' high
I'm in love with my friends
And they're in love with me too, ooh
Yeah, I'm in love with my friends
What else is there to do, ooh?
No, I don't need no exercise, I got no books to read
Everything is as it is, just as it should be
My face is just a mask I wear, there's something underneath
I lie outside the wears of time, I'm perfect and complete
Amor fati, woo
What's your name?
Everybody, woo
Should do the same
Amor fati (Fati)
Smile and wave (Hello)
Amor fati (Fati)
I'ma ride the wave, hey
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Buried In Detroit (Remix) lyrics - Mike Posner (feat. Big Sean)
[Mike Posner:]
I'm a writer and a lover
I'm a Midwest music man
And I've been to a lot of places
But I'm gon' end where I began
I took class in Carolina
Got high smoking joints
And now they know my name in Paris
But I'll be buried in Detroit
Next to my father, and my father's father, too
I used to live in New York City
But, baby, that ain't no substitute
Not for my hometown
That place people avoid
I've made love in every city
But I'll be buried in Detroit
I don't claim to be a prophet, I just speak my mind
I try to tell it like it is and sometimes God makes it rhyme
I like my songs how I like my women
Honest and to the point
You see I got fucked up in Stockholm
But I'll be buried in Detroit
Next to my father, and my father's father, too
I used to live in New York City
But, baby, that ain't no substitute
Not for my hometown
That place people avoid
I've made love in every city
But I'll be buried in Detroit
[Big Sean:]
Man, I always kept it righteous knowing it would come back to me
Even when my hunger was outweighing the strategy
And now I pray to God like I hope you got a map for me
Up at 5 AM like nobody want it as bad as me
I guess hunger either kill you or it energize you
Motor city, boy, I been a driver
The young Detroit legend, I swear I got the city inspired
And bought Em out, too, just to solidify it
D-boy, d-boy, that's how I was raised
Boss up and put the city on, forever my ways
Me and ma started a charity to give the kids clarity
And take it further than the foundation we laid
Thanksgiving Day parade, I got carried through the city
And after that, I hope I get married in the city
And after that, I hope I get buried in the city
Even when I'm gone, you still gon' hear me through the city
[Mike Posner:]
Buried in Detroit
Whoa ho, whoa ho
Buried in Detroit
Whoa ho, whoa ho
Buried in Detroit
Home lyrics - Mike Posner
I'm 'bout to do this shit
Sick of sitting here
Only got a couple years before I disappear
And I don't know
I'm just a man
But there's more inside me than these people understand
Oh, I think it's time I went and found a way
I'm looking for something different to clear my mind
I'm headed to some place distant that I might not find
And I know that you're worried
I won't make it, but
No, don't worry
I'm gon' make it home (Home)
(Home)
I could die
I'ma do it though
Hope my life becomes a symbol of what's beautiful
Take it there
Make it back
All these people think I'm crazy, I'm okay with that
Oh, I think it's time I went and found a way
I'm looking for something different to clear my mind
I'm headed to some place distant that I might not find
And I know that you're worried
I won't make it, but
No, don't worry
I'm gon' make it home
(Home)
(Home)
(Home)
(Home)
Howling At The Moon lyrics - Mike Posner & Salem Ilese
Your picture in my dresser door
You loved me but not anymore
Now my flowers won't bloom
And I blame it on you
Since you found someone new
I just howl at the moon and my heart goes
"Boom, boom, boom" when I hear your name
Pretty damn sure that you want it that way
You cut me deep and it's not okay
I wanna knock on your door like
"Boom, boom, boom won't you let me in?"
You're still stuck underneath my skin
And I'm a lone wolf on my own again
I'm just howling at the moon
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Yeah)
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (I like it, uh)
You said you loved me forever more
And then you moved me off your checkerboard (Yeah)
And now the picture we drew
Is torn up into two
Since you found someone new
I just howl at the moon and my heart goes
"Boom, boom, boom" when I hear your name
Pretty damn sure that you want it that way
You cut me deep and it's not okay
I wanna knock on your door like
"Boom, boom, boom won't you let me in?"
You're still stuck underneath my skin
And I'm a lone wolf on my own again
I'm just howling at the moon
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I'm just howling at the moon
i hate her boyfriend's face lyrics - PmBata & Mike Posner
She told me
That her boyfriend is the smartest guy she knows
I'm sure I'm not even close
She told me
That her boyfriend makes her laugh so hard she chokes
I wish I had jokes
I see the way she's fallin' for a guy I wish I was
And I know that when she calls him, she always smiles when he picks up
She's in love with a guy I keep seeing every day
In my camera, in my mirror, and I hate his fuckin' face
But she's in love with his eyes, this boy is everything she needs
But everything means nothin' if I can't love him
The same way she loves me
Da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da, da-da-da-da (Yeah), da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da (Uh)
I tried to tell her she could do better
But she still pulls him close and smiles with no effort (Uh)
I can't win her heart if I feel like a loser
But even if I could, I'd eventually lose her (Yeah)
I think about it every time that I'm thinkin'
How could she be rescued by a ship when it's sinkin', babe?
Is she delusional? (Yeah)
I feel uglier when she says he's beautiful
You know we climbed to the top of the highest mountain
I'm just a boy scared of my surroundings
It's sad that she loves him this bad, shit
She's in love with a guy I keep seeing every day
In my camera, in my mirror, and I hate his fuckin' face
But she's in love with his eyes, this boy is everything she needs
But everything means nothin' if I can't love him
The same way she loves me
Da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da (The same way she loves me)
Da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
I'm Not Dead Yet lyrics - Mike Posner
Told me
It was over
Hoodie on my head, cold breath in the air
People walkin' by like I'm not even there
Last three nights felt like a hundred years (Ooh, ooh)
I get paid for my pain long as I can make it rhyme
But sometimes I can't tell if it's even mine
Either way it's beautiful, look at how it shines
It sounds like
Ooh, it's all in my head (My head)
Lightning and thunderin'
Ooh, I'm not dead yet
In case you were wonderin'
This is what a sad song sounds like
It's been playin' in my head for my whole life
It's beautiful and cruel at the same time
Ooh, ooh, yeah
And this is what a broken heart beats like
It's tearin' up my chest like a jackknife
But it gets me through the good and the bad times (Ooh)
This is what a sad song sounds like
Told me
It was over
Told me
It was over
This is what a sad song sounds like
Say it like you love me, say it like you care (Care)
I know that I'm fucked up, I don't even care (Care)
When I close my eyes, I swear I can disappear
It sounds like
Ooh, it's all in my head (My head)
Lightning and thunderin'
Ooh, I'm not dead yet (Dead yet)
In case you were wonderin'
This is what a sad song sounds like
It's been playin' in my head for my whole life (Whole life)
It's beautiful and cruel at the same time (Yeah)
Ooh, ooh, yeah
And this is what a broken heart beats like (Beats like)
It's tearin' up my chest like a jackknife
But it gets me through the good and the bad times (Bad times)
This is what a sad song sounds like
Told me
It was over
Told me
This is what a sad song sounds like
Told me
It was over
Told me
It was over
This is what a sad song sounds like
iTry lyrics - Brunchs & Mike Posner
Gotta be strong sometimes
Days get long sometimes
It all feels wrong sometimes
But I keep moving on
Yeah, I keep moving on
Even when I know
Through the ups and the downs and all around, you know
I, I try
When things fall apart and times are hard, you know
I, I try
And I keep coming up to the top, I won't stop
I, I try
I try
Dreams come true and we get through
Life gets real, we breeze through
That's December but it seems like June
That's just God playing peek-a-boo
And if you want something that you never had
You gotta do something that you never have
Life balance is easing challenges
And it's hard sometimes but it's never bad
This is the moment I'm supposed to have
I have come too far, I'm not going back
I lost it for a while but the flow is back
Love, peace and joy, I am growing that
And people keep testing me (uh-huh)
But the old me's dead, yeah rest in peace
And now I've got the recipe
I didn't get all my goals but I did get my destiny
Through the ups and the downs and all around, you know
I, I try
When things fall apart and times are hard, you know
I, I try
And I keep coming up to the top, I won't stop
I, I try
I try
I, I try
Sometimes life gets hard
But I keep doing my part
My love is an ocean
I gotta keep it in motion
And I don't always make it
Sometimes I am faking
But love is what I steer towards
'Cause that's what I'm here for
Through the ups and the downs and all around, you know
I, I try
When things fall apart and times are hard, you know
I, I try
And I keep coming up to the top, I won't stop
I, I try
I, I try
(I won't stop, no
I won't stop, I keep trying)
I try
(I won't stop, I won't stop, I keep trying
I won't stop, I won't stop, I keep trying)
I, I try

Jealousy
I can feel, feel, feel it, inside me
That's the truth
No reply
When they call, call, call you, that ain't right
Don't be cruel (Come on, girl, don't be cruel)
'Cause when I see you walkin' by
Lookin' on some other guy
I still want you, darlin'
Girl, you got me on my knees
Wishin' you come back to me
'Cause I still want you, darlin' (Woo)

What you mean he's just a friend?
I'm too selfish, I just want you, darlin'
And I pretend that I don't see it
Who you textin' in my bed?
You make me paranoid, I hate this, darlin'
Yeah, Coco Chanel, I see through it all
And you can't control your alcohol
And then you wonder why I get so involved, I'm insecure
About the way you talk and 'bout the way you walkin'
All over me and then you tell me off
And I hate the way you share your love, I see through you
See through you, yeah
[Mike Posner & Blackbear:]
'Cause when I see you walkin' by

Live Before I Die lyrics - Naughty Boy & Mike Posner
I stopped smoking weed a year ago
Maybe I'm less cool now, I don't know
But I talk to pretty girls now
Instead of sitting there all stoned
I stopped smoking weed a year ago
And I stopped drinking Hennessy on ice
I thought it made my fans think I was tight
I'm still up in that nightclub
On way too many nights
But I stopped drinking Hennessy on ice
See I've been running from my past
But my future's just too fast
He don't stop for no one, that's no lie
So, dear Lord, won't you please
Give me wisdom, grant me peace
'Cause I just wanna live before I
Live before I die
Die
Live before I die
Yeah, I just wanna live before I
I just wanna live before I
I just wanna live before I
I just wanna live before I
Yeah, I stopped thinking 'bout the girls back home
Even though I spend my nights alone
I button up that shirt then spray on that cologne
Yeah, I stopped thinking 'bout the girls back home
See I've been running from my past
But my future's just too fast
He don't stop for no one, that's no lie
So, dear Lord, won't you please
Give me wisdom, grant me peace
'Cause I just wanna live before I
Live before I die
Die
Live before I die
Yeah, I just wanna live before I
Live before I
I just wanna live before I
I just wanna live before I
I just wanna live before I
I stopped smoking weed a year ago
Maybe I'm less cool now, I don't know
But I got two more albums done
Instead of sitting there all stoned
Yeah, I stopped smoking weed a year ago
Looks Like Sex lyrics - Mike Posner
Alright
Forget them other boys, baby
Forget them other guys
Yeah, I see your nose ring
Might as well be a bull's-eye
Used to pull girls like you, nope!
Not in '09

Had to sell a million for your time
Say ayo
Can you hear me? Uh, can you hear me?
One more time, say ayo
Can you hear me?
I can make it rain, make it soak all night
You just give me a chance, make it feel alright
That ass makes me want to ooh
You know exactly what you do
I would really like to take that home
Everybody here knows
She looks like sex, sex, sex, sex
She looks like sex, sex, sex, sex
She looks like sex, sex, sex, sex
She looks like sex, sex, sex, sex
She looks like
Liking what I see girl
Trying not to let it show
Let me see your brain's up
You gotta let them know
I don't mean to be rude but
Baby, I can break you off
You can sleep with the minute man
But I'm all night long
Say ayo
Can you hear me? Uh, can you hear me?
One more time, say ayo
Can you hear me?
I can make it rain, make it soak all night
You just give me a chance, make it feel alright
She looks like sex, sex, sex, sex

She looks like sex, sex, sex, sex
She looks like sex, sex, sex, sex

Momma Always Told Me lyrics - Mike Posner (feat. Stanaj & Yung Bae)
My mama always told me

OMG lyrics - Mike Posner
I can't love you through a screen
Something about that feels so fucking mean
And I'm just staring at my ceiling
Nothing but my thoughts, nothing but my thoughts
The distance is making a difference
I'm tryna handle my business
But I really wanna hold you and fuck you
And tell you that I love you
I go crazy when I'm all alone
And it feels like torture
When I hear you but I can't hold you close
OMG, what the hell
I'm spiraling out of control
OMG, what the hell
I'm spiraling out of control
OMG, what the hell
When you're not here my love goes still
My heart turns black and my skin goes pale
So I send you three hearts and a text
But what that really means is SOS, yes
The distance is making a difference
I'm tryna handle my business
But I really miss you right now
I go crazy when I'm all alone
And it feels like torture
When I hear you but I can't hold you close
OMG, what the hell
I'm spiraling out of control
OMG, what the hell
I'm spiraling out of control
OMG, what the hell
And it feels like torture
OMG, what the hell
And it feels like torture
OMG, what the hell
The Way It Used To Be lyrics - Mike Posner
We were young
We were never growing old
And the glitter was still gold
They way it used to be
It was love
It was easy just to smile
It was easy for a while
The way it used to be
But even stars, they fade
And colors turn to gray
And I miss yesterday
And the way it used to be
I can't turn back time
Even if I try
I miss you tonight
And girl, I miss the way it used to be
Look at you
You've got the life, the pretty house
But you must still think about
The way it used to be
Is it real?
He don't love you like I do
Can we just go back to
The way it used to be?
'Cause even stars, they fade
And colors turn to gray
And I miss yesterday
And the way it used to be
And I can't turn back time
Even if I try
I miss you tonight
And girl, I miss the way it used to be
Look at us
Just look what we've become
Just a shell of what was once
The way it used to be
Even stars they fade
And colors turn to gray
And I miss yesterday
And the way it used to be
I can't turn back time
Even if I tried
I miss you tonight
And girl, I miss the way it used to be
Girl, I miss the way it used to be
Girl, I miss the way it used to be
This Is What A Sad Song Sounds Like lyrics - Mike Posner (feat. The Human Experience)
Told me
It was over
Hoodie on my head, cold breath in the air
People walkin' by like I'm not even there
Last three nights felt like a hundred years (Ooh, ooh)
I get paid for my pain long as I can make it rhyme
But sometimes I can't tell if it's even mine
Either way it's beautiful, look at how it shines
It sounds like
Ooh, it's all in my head (My head)
Lightning and thunderin'
Ooh, I'm not dead yet
In case you were wonderin'
This is what a sad song sounds like
It's been playin' in my head for my whole life
It's beautiful and cruel at the same time
Ooh, ooh, yeah
And this is what a broken heart beats like
It's tearin' up my chest like a jackknife
But it gets me through the good and the bad times (Ooh)
This is what a sad song sounds like
Told me
It was over
Told me
It was over
This is what a sad song sounds like
Say it like you love me, say it like you care (Care)
I know that I'm fucked up, I don't even care (Care)
When I close my eyes, I swear I can disappear
It sounds like
Ooh, it's all in my head (My head)
Lightning and thunderin'
Ooh, I'm not dead yet (Dead yet)
In case you were wonderin'
This is what a sad song sounds like
It's been playin' in my head for my whole life (Whole life)
It's beautiful and cruel at the same time (Yeah)
Ooh, ooh, yeah
And this is what a broken heart beats like (Beats like)
It's tearin' up my chest like a jackknife
But it gets me through the good and the bad times (Bad times)
This is what a sad song sounds like
Told me
It was over
Told me
This is what a sad song sounds like
Told me
It was over
Told me
It was over
This is what a sad song sounds like

I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
[Big Sean:]
I'm 'a take it to the top, ha, I knew it
You came in here solo, nah, I crewed it
Funny I turned all my "I'm gonna be's" to I do it
Been ballin' out for a minute, still play like I'm gettin' recruited
I showed and proved it and came up in the game and made a name, clap it up
Seem like yesterday, man we was in your hooptie, lappin' up
How sometimes you have to look back in your life and laugh it up
Tryna make it to the top and throw my dawgs a ladder up
[Mike Posner:]
At this time next year I'mma have enough to buy the whole damn thang, thang, thang
Yeah I am doing pretty good right now but I swear just wait, wait
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
Ain't no artist in the game that could match this
Gym shorts on a date with an actress
And I'm still gon' hit
I could [?] on the tracks and it's still gon' hit
Fuck the dress code, these ain't retros
Who that smooth voice is with the best flow?
Yours truly
Keep your feelings to yourself let me do me
At this time next year I'ma have enough to buy the whole damn thing (thing, thing)
Yeah, I'm doing pretty good right now but I swear just wait (wait)
I'm 'a take you to the top top top of the world
I'm 'a take you to the top top top of the world
I'm 'a take you to the top top top of the world
I'm 'a take you to the top top top of the world
[Big Sean:]
Same ol' G, I just made a crib replacement
Whip replacement, floatin' down the street, floatin', bitch I've been paradin'
Everybody 'round me paid like gettin' rich contagious
[Mike Posner:]
Another hit, 'scuse me while I run the bases
Sister's graduating, so yeah I'm feeling good
Midwest beard all over Hollywood
See the way they hatin', see the way I shine
Dexter Ave, it's a big mural, me and Sean
At this time next year I'mma have enough to buy the whole damn thang, thang, thang
Yeah I am doing pretty good right now but I swear just wait, wait
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
I'm 'a take it to the top, top, top of the world
[Mike Posner (Big Sean):]

(Man, that's my line, lil bitch, you ain't even say it right)
Fuck you bro, I say it how I want
Laughs

I've spent my whole life

Everyone's here and it's a serious vibe
So take off your shoes

We Own It (Remix) lyrics - Mike Posner (feat. T. Mills, Sammy Adams & Niykee Heaton)
[Niykee Heaton:]
One shot, everything rides on tonight
Even if I've got three strikes
I'mma go for it
This moment, we own it
And I'm not to be played with
Because it can get dangerous
See these people I ride with
This moment, we own it
[Mike Posner:]
Now I just feel like I'm gonna win
Whole mid-west side, that's my kin
Beneath your beautiful that's my pen
You trying to get dope but I just am
I was born with it, did a tour with it
Them overseas girls always give you more digits
I've been blessed, I done went shore to shore with it
Now trying to help a couple kids do more with it
Got some plaques on the wall and I'm still dope
I'm just trying to show the people that there's still hope
You buy a album and we serve up a meal bro
The label's like "That's gonna cost you a mill bro"
So be it, God told me to
And momma don't believe in that but I know it's true
We came to spread a little love that's what we gonna do
Finally Famous in the house that's the only crew
[Niykee Heaton:]
One shot, everything rides on tonight
Even if I've got three strikes
I'mma go for it
This moment, we own it
And I'm not to be played with
Because it can get dangerous
See these people I ride with
This moment, we own it
[T. Mills:]
I bought it, I own it
You borrow, I loan it
I got people rocking clothes with my fucking name on it
She said "Milli do your thing"
So I built a stage on it, now my bed rocking
Rocking like one of my shows
All she wearing is perfume, she love my cologne
And I been waiting on my moment what feel like forever
But the more I think about it shit it's probably better
Cause I keep working, I keep grinding, I keep writing, I keep rhyming
I'mma turn a single stone into a pile of diamonds
I remember when I didn't have the funds to buy shit
Holla if that's something that you can identify with
But now I drop a grip on the jeans
And now I drop your rent on some weed
And now I'm making love on your sheets
I'm in your worst nightmare and in your girlfriend's dreams
Wake up, hello, tell me what you see
I'm a skinny motherfucker like six foot three
I said fuck a weight room, I was selling CDs
Getting more pussy than the whole football team
I was born in Riverside and I'm still that
Yeah I heard your new shit and it's still wack
Every time we get together you gonna feel that
This summer and the next, I'mma kill that, Mills
[Mike Posner & Niykee Heaton:]
One shot, everything rides on tonight
Even if I've got three strikes
I'mma go for it
This moment, we own it
And I'm not to be played with
Because it can get dangerous
See these people I ride with
This moment, we own it
[Sammy Adams:]
I got them wetter than a Vilbrequin youngest of the champions
Beach house music, cue the dark pads and violins
Clear glass out in Malibu with all my friends
Me, Mike Pos, the Mills, and Niykee for the win
I'm growing up I gotta buzz call it motivation
Blowing up like iPhone push notifications
Priceless if I had it back I wouldn't change a thing
It's far from over so I tell the fat lady sing
And she hitting the notes and I'm starting to feel
Like I can't sit in coach cause I get fucking killed
Oh, I own it, oh oh, I'm on it
Cold like Winterfell I Game of Throne it
Hold it, hold it, did anybody notice
They all in the D now, Beantown we own it
Shouts to the D.O. Beantown we roll it
Yeah me and my Gs and we own it, yeah Sammy
[Niykee Heaton:]
One shot, everything rides on tonight
Even if I've got three strikes
I'mma go for it
This moment, we own it
And I'm not to be played with
Because it can get dangerous
See these people I ride with
This moment, we own it
[Mike Posner:]
One shot, everything rides on tonight
Even if I've got three strikes
I'mma go for it
This moment, we own it
And I'm not to be played with
Because it can get dangerous
See these people I ride with
This moment, we own it
