TRANSCRIPT

As a musician, there are shows I play that I just wish would never end. I’m always looking forward to tomorrow, and the next show, and the next…but, every now and then, I’m on stage and know that even when the set list is over, I just want to KEEP PLAYING. And so we finish the set, go to the side of the stage, look at each of our band members and say “THAT WAS EPIC,” decide on more songs to play just so we can go back out and continue the show. I’m looking forward to whatever’s next but after releasing this first record and feeling this awesome support from fans around the world, I have this overwhelming need to celebrate with you all HOW MUCH FUN it has been to put this record out and sing it with you every night on tour. So, just like at a show, this is THE ENCORE, and I dedicate it to you guys for your incredible support! I thank the good Lord for every day I get to spend making music and doing what I do. I’m blessed beyond belief and SO grateful for every minute. To my family, you guys have never looked at me like I’m CRAZY but you’ve believed in every dream I’ve ever had. You’ve done anything and everything to watch my dreams come true and I’m forever grateful for every sacrifice you’ve made! To my team both back at home and my road family, seriously, this is CRAZY fun, this whole experience is way more fun than I ever thought it would be because I get to work with every one of you every day. It ain’t work when you love what you do and you get to work with friends you’d have regardless of the work you do. Thank you to the musicians who came in and experimented with me on this stuff. Thank you to the writers who let the new guy in and gave me a shot to write stuff I’ve always wanted to write. Dann, it’s always fun working with you but I feel like it gets better and better every time we book studio time. To my managers, thank you for looking out for not only my vision but for me and my true love for music through this whole process. To my awesome label, I love how much we all love music and live for it and I continually thank you for the unending support. To my publisher, thank you for helping me to shape my sound and for encouraging me to be true to my sound. To my agency, thanks for giving me the chance to take this music around the world. To my business management, you guys look out for me in a way that only true friends do and I thank you. To my road family, I absolutely believe I’ve got the coolest team in the world, every day is an adventure and it’s just so much fun to work with you all. To everyone at radio, my songs have been broadcasted in so many places I never dreamed and I’ve made a million new friends because of it. Once again, Fans, you’re CRAZY awesome! So here it is, some new stuff, some old stuff, all for you, thank you for THE

1. STORM WARNING // She rolled in from the west in a summer sundress hotter than the heat in July/With her wind-blown hair it just wasn’t fair the way she was blowin’ my mind/Have you ever noticed every hurricane gets its

name from a girl like this/She’s a cat five, keeps you up at night hangin’ on to the edge of a kiss/She’s a beautiful mess, the kind you love to love, but what happens next/I got a feelin’ when the sun comes up//Chorus: I’m

gonna wish I had a storm warning, gonna wish I had a sign/I’m gonna wish I had a little heads up, little leeway, little more time/Some kind of radar system locked in on love/I got a feeling by the time the night finds the morn-

ing/I’m gonna wish I had a storm warning, I’m gonna wish I had a storm warning//Ain’t it funny how it feels when you’re burnin’ your wheels somewhere between goin’ and gone/You get so lost, but you can’t turn it off, you give

in, and you just turn it on/She’s a heart full of rain, red lips like a flame, she’s the girl from your favorite song/What a beautiful mess, one part angel, one part perfect, one part a wreck/The kinda flood you’ll never forget//

Chorus (x3)//Little heads up, little more time, little leeway, some kind of sign/Some kind of radar system if I heard it yeah I would have listened/To the storm, to the storm warning Gordie Sampson/busbee/Hunter Hayes • ©2011

I’d fall apart without you/I don’t know how you do what you do/Everything that don’t make sense about me/Makes sense when I’m with you//Like everything that’s green girl I need you/But it’s more than one and one makes

two/Put aside the math and the logic of it/You gotta know you’re wanted too//Chorus: I wannna wrap you up/Wanna kiss your lips/I Wanna make you feel wanted/I Wanna call you mine/Wanna hold your hand forever/

Never let you forget it/Yeah I wanna make you feel wanted//Anyone can tell you you’re pretty/And you get that all the time/But your beauty’s deeper than the make-up/I wanna show you what I see tonight when I//As good

as you make me feel I wanna make you feel better/Better than your fairy tales, better than your best dreams/You’re more than everything I need, you’re all I’ve ever wanted//Chorus Troy Verges/Hunter Hayes • ©2011 Songs Of

ing for something true/My heart says it must be you/I’d love to fall and see it through/But only if you told me to//I’d run through the desert, I’d walk through the rain/Get you into trouble and take all the blame/I'd paint you a

picture, write you a song/And I'd do it all over if I did it all wrong//Chorus: Don’t wanna steal you away/Or make you change the things that you believe/I just wanna drink from the words you say/And be everything you

need/I could be so good at loving you/But only if you told me to//I’ve seen a lot of good love go to waste/I don’t wanna look back on these days/Knowing all the things you’d never know/If I never said a word and let you

go//Maybe this is something I’ll never be/But I’ll be right here till you tell me Liz Rose/Hunter Hayes • ©2011 Moon Lizard Music/Liz Rose Music, LLC (BMI). All rights admin. by Songs of Kobalt Music Publishing / Songs Of Universal, Inc./Happy

a Mustang drive/Horses screaming at me, Mama praying that I’ll make it home alive/But it makes me feel good/Yeah like sneaking out late, telling white lies/Stealing one more kiss tonight//Chorus: I try my best to behave/I

can’t help feeling this way/It’s not my fault so don’t blame me, ’cause/Love makes me/Is it some kind of fiction/Or the sweetest addiction/So what if I’m crazy, ’cause/Love makes me do it//Well it don’t take much, I’m a

sucker for the little things/Like the touch on the hand and the sweet way she leans into me/Yeah it makes me feel good/It’s an all-out buzz how much I’m into this/No, I can’t get enough, got to have more than just one

kiss/’Cause it feels so good/Yeah, watching her sleep, staying up all night/Riding this heavenly high//Chorus//I love so hard you’d think I’m stupid/It’s a fight that I don’t mind losing//Chorus Bonnie Baker/Katrina Elam/

gone/They can’t get back the kiss they lost/Spend their whole life asking questions/Not knowing what went wrong//Chorus: But when the answers that you know just prove you wrong/Gotta have a little faith to fall back

on/When all that you’ve got left is being strong/Gotta find a little faith to fall back on//Didn’t treat my girl like she was mine/Thought I didn’t need her at the time/But I changed my way of thinking when she left/Yeah I

finally learned my lesson but I learned it by myself//Chorus//These days I’m not sure if I know/What I’m doing here or where I’ll go/But every night I say the same old prayer/God, I don’t have to see you/I know that

you’re there//’Cause there were times I thought I wouldn’t make it home/But I kept a little faith to fall back on/I’ve learned to put my trust where it belongs/And I’ve got a little faith to fall back on Barry Dean/Hunter Hayes •

little river running through your mind/You give and you take, you come and you go/You leave me here wondering if I’ll ever know/How much you care, how much you don’t/Whatever you need, whatever you want//Chorus:

If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak/If you’re gonna be somebody’s mistake/If you’re gonna be somebody’s first time/Somebody’s last time/Baby be mine/If you’re looking to be somebody’s just friends/A little laughin’,

little lovin’, never callin’ again/That’s just fine/If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak/Be mine//I guess that all I’m trying to tell you/Is a minute with you is better than two without/I won’t be a fool, but I can’t play it cool/

So, I’m playing it safe, and I’m breaking the rules/I’m wishing I had what I know that you got/So if you’re coming my way then please don’t stop//Chorus Andrew Dorff/Luke Laird/Hunter Hayes • ©2011 Songs Of Universal, Inc. (BMI)

just the rainy season//The air’s getting heavy, and we both know why/So dance one more dance, and tell one more lie/Baby let’s keep make-believing/That it’s just the rainy season//Chorus: We’re taking on water/Drop

after drop we’re destroying this house and each other/Make it stop, make it stop//Chorus//Wish I could just say it and words were enough/To keep you from being the one giving up/Like the sky letting go for no reason/In

the rainy season//Baby tell me you’re not leaving/In the rainy season/It’s just the rainy season Bonnie Baker/Katrina Elam/Hunter Hayes • ©2011 Devan Publishing (ASCAP) and Green Hills Music (ASCAP) (admin. by Big Loud Bucks) / Songs

You’re not hiding anything/Frankly it’s got me worried//Nobody knows you better than I do/I keep my promises, I’m fighting for you//Chorus: You’re not alone I’ll/Listen till your tears give out/You’re safe and sound I/Swear

that I won’t let you down/What’s hurting you, I/I feel it too/I mean it when I say when you cry/I cry with you//I’m not going anyplace/I just hate to see you like this/I can’t make it go away/But keeping it inside won’t fix it/I

can’t give you every answer that you need/But I wanna hear everything you wanna tell me//Chorus//You need love tough enough to count on/So here I am//Chorus//I mean it when I say when you cry/I cry with you Barry

EvERYBOdY’S GOT SOMEBOdY BUT ME (FEATURING jASON MRAZ) // I wish the couple on the corner would just get a room/Seems like everyone around me’s on their honeymoon/I’d love to take a pin to a

heart-shaped balloon/Everybody’s got somebody but me//Well I don’t know how I landed on this movie set/It’s like a casting call for Romeo & Juliet/I never would have noticed if we’d never met/But everybody’s got somebody

but me//And I miss you, without you I just don’t fit in/I know we’re through, but I’m wishing we could try it again//I hear love songs playing on the radio/People slow dancing everywhere I go/Well I’m a good slow dancer

but you’d never know/’Cause everybody’s got somebody but me//And I miss you, without you I just don’t fit in/I know we’re through, but I’m wishing we could try again//Sitting here lonely at a table for two/Watching lovers

being lovers in the corner booth/Seems like even cupid don’t know what to do/Everybody’s got somebody but me//Yeah I don’t know if I’ll ever find another you/But everybody’s got somebody but me Hunter Hayes/Dave Brain-

MONROE) // Who wakes you when the morning comes/Who calls you every late night/Who comforts you when you’re in need/Who always tries to treat you right//Who gives you all he has to give/Who would dedicate

his heart to you/Who fulfills all his promises/Who sees the good in you//Chorus: Tell me what you gonna do when I’m gone/Oh and where you gonna go when there’s nobody home/And who’s gonna love you when you’re

all alone/Tell me what you gonna do when I’m gone/Yeah what you gonna do when I’m gone//Who cries knowing you don’t care/Who worries what the future holds/Who fears the road ahead/And whose heart is turning

into stone//Who prays for your safe return/Who misses you when you’re away/Who’s tired of empty promises/Who’s tired of all the games you play Hunter Hayes • ©2011 Songs Of Universal, Inc./Happy Little Man Publishing (BMI).

just thrown matches at a tank of gasoline/Well it all went up in a ball of flames yeah girl, you torched me good/I got burned and learned that I loved you more than I should//Chorus: My heart said a long time ago buddy tuck

your tail and run/’Cause it ain’t love when you’re stuck on the wrong end of the gun/Well you put your finger on that trigger and you shot me where I stood/I found out the hard way I loved you more than I should//Curse the

man that made the sweet perfume that cast the spell/Curse the night that made us kiss beneath the star that fell/Curse the man before me didn’t warn me when he could/Curse me most of all for loving you more than I should//

Chorus//Last night I found myself inside the strangest sweetest dream/You were standing arms wide open right in front of me/The closer I moved toward you the further away you stood/I woke up and I whispered I loved you

more than I should/They’ll write on my gravestone I loved you more than I should Rivers Rutherford/Jeremy Stover/Hunter Hayes • ©2011 Universal Music Corp./Memphianna (ASCAP). All rights on behalf of Memphianna controlled and admin.

es, I let you down/You waited for words that I couldn’t get out/I have no excuses for the way that I am/I was clueless and I couldn’t understand//Chorus: All that you wanted/And all that you needed/Was the side of me I

never let you see/And I wish I could love you/And make you believe it/’Cause that’s all you ever wanted/That’s all you ever wanted from me//Could I be selfish or lost in my pride/Afraid to be forward or just too scared to

try/Now I’m without you and it took distance to see/That losing you means losing everything//Chorus//Is it too late, are you too far/To turn around and let me be//All that you wanted/All that you needed/I’ll show the side

of me I never let you see/I wish I could love you/And make you believe it/’Cause that’s all you ever wanted/That’s all you ever wanted/That’s all you ever wanted from me Sam Ellis/Hunter Hayes • © 2011 Sam Ellis (SOCAN) /

out fights/Yeah, the silence always won/The tears that I cry/The breaking inside/All the loneliness to come//Chorus: Well, it’s alright/This goodbye/Won’t hurt me for too long/I’ll be fine on my own/It takes some time/But I

know that I can find where I belong/And I’ll find it in a song//Yeah, this song’s about freedom/Searching for new love/How ignorance is bliss/Yeah, I know that I’m not the only fool/Who’s been hurt just like this//I’ll sing about

making honest mistakes/And heartaches I’ve gone through/Yeah, then I’ll forgive/I won’t have to forget/All the good things about you//Chorus//Well I’m sure if I had the chance to go back/I’d change more than I should/

But knowing I can’t/Is helping my chances of moving on for good/I’m not saying there won’t be too many/Lonely nights/But the songs I choose getting over you/Help me make it out alive//Chorus: Yeah, it’s alright/This good-

bye/It won’t hurt me for too long/I can make it on my own/It takes some time/But I know that I/I can find where I belong/And I’ll find it in a song/Yeah, I’ll find it in a song Hunter Hayes/Sam Ellis • ©2013 Songs of Universal, Inc./

myself I’m gonna be alright/Without you baby is a waste of time//That first date girl, the seasons changed/I got washed away in the summer rain/You can’t undo a fall like this/’Cause love don’t know what distance is/I know

it’s crazy//Chorus: I don’t want safe, don’t want good enough/Want, can’t sleep, can’t breathe without your love/Front porch, just one more kiss/Doesn’t make sense to anybody else/Who cares if you’re all I think about/I’ve

searched the world and I know now/It ain’t right if you ain’t lost your mind/I don’t want easy/I want crazy/You with me, baby/Let’s be crazy//I wanna be scared/Don’t wanna know why/Wanna feel good/Don’t have to be

right/The world makes all kinds of rule for love/I say you let it just do what it does//I don’t want a hug and kiss goodnight/Catching up calls and a date sometimes/I love that we’re rebels and we still believe/We’re the kind of

crazy people wish they could be/I don’t want easy, I want crazy/Look at us baby, tonight the midnight rules are breaking/No such thing as wild enough/Maybe we just think too much/Who needs to play it safe in love/Let’s

be crazy Hunter Hayes/Lori McKenna/Troy Verges • ©2013 Songs of Universal, Inc./Happy Little Man Publishing / Hoodie Songs / Songs From The Engine Room (BMI). All rights on behalf of Happy Little Man Publishing, Hoodie Songs, and Songs From

It’s had too much to drink/Still selling tickets like it’s going out of style//Chorus: But when I look at you/I know there’s nothing to improve/Because you’re perfect girl/Oh oh oh oh/Every little move/And every little groove/Makes

me sing/Oh oh oh oh (and I know, I know)/This world would change a lot about you baby if it could/But looking through the glass that I’m seeing through/I wouldn’t change a thing about you//I run too fast, think too slow,

change like the weather/I know you could do better/Still don’t know what you see//You think your hair’s too short, your eyes are too green/Girl I don’t know what you mean/Not that you are but if you’re asking me//Every

little/Imperfection only/Makes you you//Chorus Hunter Hayes/Katrina Elam/Bonnie Baker •©2013 Songs Of Universal, Inc./Happy Little Man Publishing / Kreative Songs (BMI). All rights on behalf of Happy Little Man Publishing and Kreative Songs

for/I found my place playing this guitar/Oh I never looked back, I never looked back//I never was much for falling in line/Had a long-time fire in this heart of mine/I may look crazy in momma’s eyes but I don’t mind//Chorus:

Could be a dead-end road/I could be chasing down a broken dream/But I don’t know, wanna know/Where this thing is gonna lead/It’s a mystery/Oh ain’t life a trip/Yeah it don’t get any better than this//I kinda like it when

I walk out the door/Not knowing what the good Lord’s got in store/There’s a freedom in believing there’s something more/Yeah one more chance, one more day/To say what I need to say//Getting by on little sleep and coffee

cups/Learning through the downs and living for the ups/All I know is I feel alive, and it’s a good ride//Chorus: Could be a dead-end road/But it’s the only life I’ve ever known/No matter where this goes/You know I wouldn’t

change a single thing/’Cause I don’t need to know/Where this thing is gonna lead/It’s a mystery/Oh ain’t life a trip/Yeah it don’t get any better than this Hunter Hayes/Dave Haywood/Charles Kelley • ©2013 Songs of Universal, Inc./

I was a ferris wheel/In an empty field, where nobody goes/Had all the curtains drawn/Sitting all alone, feeling like a ghost/I was a broke-down heart-break bad in need/Of a little of love’s electricity/A busted carnival ride in

the middle of the night/Then you flipped a switch, you turned on the show//Chorus: You light me up/Like the fireworks flying on the Fourth of July/You light me up/Like the sunshine blazing in the summertime/You light me up/

You light me up//You were the missing piece/To my broken dreams/You’re bringing me back to life/You look like a movie star/Just the way you are/Makes me burn inside/Yeah it’s dynamite finally finding a match/Baby when

you look at me like that//Like New York City on New Year’s eve/You light me up/All the dark days left when you came to me Hunter Hayes/busbee/Shane McAnally • ©2013 Songs Of Universal, Inc./Happy Little Man Publishing (BMI). All
