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

Thank You lyrics - Mike Posner

Thanks for listening

In The Arms Of A Stranger (Brian Kierulf Remix) 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

Little flame 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 knocked 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 a 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 knocked 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 knocked up

In the arms of a stranger, stranger, stranger

Holding her closely, remembering your touch

And I'm wrapped around your finger, even though I'm knocked up

In the arms of a stranger, pretending it's love

Silence (Sluggo x Loote Remix) lyrics - Mike Posner

[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, demons

And you're just killing me with silence

And you're just killing me with time

I don't know where to put my sorries

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 you halo up with

Hor-hor-horns, hor-hor-horns

Hor-hor-horns, hor-hor-horns

Hor-hor-horns, hor-hor-horns

[Labrinth:]

You know you're clever, I'll give you that

You gave me heaven and took it back

[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'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:]

Buried in Detroit

Whoa ho, whoa ho

Buried in Detroit

Whoa ho, whoa ho

Buried in Detroit

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
