Vanessa Carlton Lyrics on RINGTONES Z

When the pressure will not fade away
When the real things starts to become fake
When you can’t recognize your own hands
Turn around and begin again

When the sky starts ripping and falling
And the horizon is no longer calling please
Don’t try to make it on emptiness
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

If your eyes become glazed with indifference
If your screaming with lips that are silent
If you can’t find light in the day
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

When you cannot find yourself anywhere
If your standing but feel your not really there
If your waiting for someone to catch you
Turn around and begin again

If you can’t seem to find what’s been to be found
In a heart that pumps rage as your only sound
If your waiting to be blown away
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

But now and then
Now and then
I wonder.

Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980) is an American soft rock/Piano pop singer, songwriter, and pianist best known for the Billboard top five, Grammy-nominated single “A Thousand Miles” from her debut album, Be Not Nobody which was released April 30, 2002, and certified platinum in the U.S.

Carlton’s second album, Harmonium (released November 9, 2004), debuted at number thirty-three on the U.S. Billboard 200 and had sold 179,000 copies as of February 2006, with the single “White Houses, peaking at eighty-six in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. She subsequently parted company from her record label A&M, though she still holds a dedicated fanbase.

Her third album, Heroes and Thieves, was released on October 9, 2007 by the The Inc./Universal Motown record labels.

Carlton was born in Milford, Pennsylvania to Ed Carlton, a pilot, and Heidi, a pianist and school music teacher. Her interest in music began at an early age, one anecdote tells how after returning from Disneyland at the age of two, Carlton played “It’s a Small World” on the piano. This event inspired Carlton’s mother to expose Carlton to various classical composers such as Mozart, Erik Satie, and Claude Debussy and also began to tutor her daughter on the piano (through her father, she was exposed to classic rock artists such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin). She began her schooling at a Montessori school.

She developed an interest for ballet at the age of nine and was accepted a the School of American Ballet in New York City at age fourteen while pursuing high school studies at the Professional Children’s School. Studying with such teachers as Nenette Charisse and Gelsey Kirkland, the intensity and demanding training of the ballet lessons eventually proved to be trying for her, especially once she started going through unexpected growth spurts.

This led her at age seventeen, to devote more and more time to piano playing and songwriting. She chose not to become a dancer on graduation. Instead, she attended Columbia University and performed in bars and clubs in Manhattan while working as a waitress.

Stand up straight
Do your trick
Turn on the stars, jupiter
shines so bright when you’re around they tell us slow down,
We’re too young you need to grow
The speed’s the key
And they don’t know who we are
[Chorus]
And who’s to say that we’re not good enough?
And who’s to say that this is not our love?

Mother don’t
tell me friends are the ones that I lose
‘Cause they’d bleed
before you
but sometimes family are
the ones
you’d choose
It’s too late now
I hold on to this life I found
[Chorus]
And who’s to say we won’t burn it out?
And who’s to say we won’t sink in doubt?
Who’s to say that we won’t fade to gray?
Who are they anyway,
anyway
they don’t know

And you say we’re too young, but maybe you’re too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we’re together
And if you don’t believe me, you never really knew us
You never really knew

You and I
packin’ up my room, we feel alright
But we’re not welcome
soon
We’ll be drivin’
’cause they don’t know who we are
[Chorus]
Who’s to say we won’t stay together?
Who’s to say we aren’t getting stronger?
Who’s to say I can’t live without you?
Who are they anyway,
anyway
they don’t know

And you say we’re too young, but maybe you’re too old to remember
And I try to pretend, but I just feel it when we’re together
Who is to say?
And who is to say?
And who are they anyway?

Stand up boy,
I shine so bright when you’re around
