White Flag (04:01)
Dido • Life for Rent
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and destruction
To come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble, I understand if you
Can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet, which I'm sure we will
All that was there will be there still
I'll let it pass and hold my tongue
And you will think that I've moved on

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Stoned (05:56)
Dido • Life for Rent
When you're stoned baby, and I am drunk
And we make love, it seems a little desolate
It's hard sometimes not to look away
And think what's the point
When I'm having to hold this fire down
I think I'll explode, if I can't feel this free now

If you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best thing
I would love to do for you
Instead you will be missing me when I go
'cause I'm bored of hanging out in your cold

When I feel loved baby, I join the road
And the world moves with me
When I feel lost I just slip away
Silently, quietly take my things and go
And think what's the point
Think where's the hope we're coming home

If you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best that
I would love to do for you
Instead you will be missing me when I go
'cause I'm bored of hanging out in your cold

If you find one day
Find some freedom and relief
And with this freedom maybe
Maybe you will find some peace
And with this peace baby
I hope it brings you back to me
Bring you home, take me home

If you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you
Instead you will be missing me when I go
'cause I'm bored of hanging out in your cold

Mary's in India (03:42)
Dido • Life for Rent
Danny is lonely, 'cause Mary's in India now.
She said she'd call but that was three weeks ago.
She left all her things, well, her books and her letters from him.
But as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him.

And just dance, and just drink,
And just say the things I'll probably never get a chance to say.

Danny is not eating, he's drinking and sleeping in.
I saw him last night at the party, he's definitely thin.
He says he's happy, he looked pretty good but I think,
That as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him.

And just dance and just drink,
And just say the things I'll probably never get a chance to say.

Danny came over last night and I cooked for him.
He talked about you, Mary, and how much we loved you still.
He told me he's packed up you books and letters and things.
As the sun sets on Mary, its rising on him.

And we danced, and we drank.
And I've seen something you probably never got a chance to see.

Don't worry Mary, 'cause I'm taking care of Danny,
And he's taking care of me.

See You When You're 40 (05:21)
Dido • Life for Rent
I've driven round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance

Cause I want tonight
What I've been waiting for
But I've found tonight
What I've been warned about

You think you're complicated
Deep mystery to all
Well its taken me a while to see
You're not so special
All energy no meaning
With a lot of words
So paper thin that one really feeling
Could knock you down

And I've seen tonight
What I've been warned about
I'm gonna leave Tonight
Before I change my mind

So see you when your forty
Lost and all alone
Being comforted by strangers
You'll never need to know
Not sad because you lost me
Sad because you thought
It was cool to be sad
You think misery will make you stand
Apart from the crowd
If you had walked past me today
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out

Now I've seen tonight
How could i waste my time?
And I'll be on my way
And I won't be back
Cause I've seen tonight
What I've been warned about
You're just a boy, not a man
And I'm not coming back

Don't Leave Home (03:47)
Dido • Life for Rent
Like a ghost don't need a key,
Your best friend I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak

When I've been here for just one day
You already miss me if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore

Oh, don't leave home
Oh, don't leave home

If you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're alone, just hold on
'cause I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home

I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker like a child
Now all your love you give to me
When your heart is all I'll need

Oh, don't leave home
Oh, don't leave home

If you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're alone, just hold on
'cause I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home

Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear and everything is new
So you won't be leaving will you?

If you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're alone, just hold on
'cause I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home

'cause I will be your safety,
I will be your safety,
I will be your safety,

Ohh Don't leave home.

Who Makes You Feel (04:21)
Dido • Life for Rent
I don't touch you the way I used to
I don't call and write when I'm away
We don't make love as often as we did do
What couldn't wait now waits and usually goes away

But listen and think when I say
oh but listen and think when I say
Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel
Who loves you and knows you the way I do
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?

I don't mind if you come home late
I don't ever ask you where you've been
I just assume if there's a problem you'd tell me

But listen and think when I say,
Oh but listen and think when I say
Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel
Who loves you and knows you the way I do
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?

Being weak, when I am strong
Being seen, for who you are
Being sad and lost but not alone

But listen and think when I say,
Oh but listen and think when I say
Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel
Who loves you and knows you the way I do
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do
Who makes you feel like I make you feel?

Sand in My Shoes (05:00)
Dido • Life for Rent
Two weeks away it feels like the whole world should've changed
But I'm home now
And things still look the same
I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack
Try to forget for one more night
That I'm back in my flat on the road
Where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can't watch the sunset
I don't have time
I don't have time

[Chorus:]
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanitation
Run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that I was happy here
Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can watch the sunset
And take my time
Take all our time

[Chorus]
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again
Two weeks away, all it takes to change and turn me around I've fallen
I walked away and never said that I wanted to see you again

[Chorus x2]
I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

Do You Have a Little Time (03:56)
Dido • Life for Rent
If you're feeling low
And lost today
You're probably doing
Too much again
You spend all your hours
Just rushing around
Do you have a little time
Do you have a little time for me?

Slow down, my love
You're confusing me
If you're feeling stressed
Just try calling
You spend your time waiting
For anyone to see
Do you have a little time
Do you have a little time for me?

If you should stop for a while
You will find me standing by
Over here at the side of your life
I'd like to hold you still
Remind you of all you've missed
If you have a little time
If you have a little time that is

Why do you still run
When you could walk with me
Life will pass you by
When you move this quickly
What can you see
When you're spinning around
Do you have a little time
Do you have a little time for me

If you should stop for a while
You will find me standing by
Over here at the side of your life
I like to hold you still
Remind you of all you've missed
If you have a little time
If you have a little time that is

If you let me listen
I'll make you feel clear
You spend your time waiting
For anyone to see

If you should stop for a while
You will find me standing by
Over here at the side of your life
I'd like to hold you still
Remind you of all you've missed
If you have a little time
If you have a little time that is

If you should stop for a while
You will find me standing by
Over here at the side of your life
I'd like to hold you still
Remind you of all you've missed
If you have a little time
If you have a little time that is

See the Sun (08:28)
Dido • Life for Rent
I'm comin' round
To open the blinds
You can't hide here any longer
My God, you need
To rinse those puffy eyes
You can't lie still any longer

Yes, they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear "Tomorrow's another day"
But I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

C'mon, take my hand
Goin' for a walk, I know you can
You can wear anything
As long as it's not black
Please don't mourn forever
She's not coming back

Yes they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear "Tomorrow's another day"
But I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

I promise you you'll see the sun again

Do you remember telling me
You'd found the sweetest thing of all
You said one day of this was worth dying for
So be thankful you knew her at all
But it's no more

And you probably don't want to hear "Tomorrow's another day"
But I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

And you probably don't want to hear "Tomorrow's another day"
But I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

The sun

Hunter (03:56)
Dido • Life for Rent
With one light on in one room,
I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair,
I know your look when I get there
If you were a king up there on your throne,
Would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own

Wants to be a hunter again,
Wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go

The unread book and painful look,
The TV's on, the sound is down
One long pause, then you begin,
Oh look what the cat's brought in
If you were a king up there on your throne,
Would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own

Wants to be a hunter again,
Wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again,
So let me go, let me leave

For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking

I want to be a hunter again,
Want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go

Thankyou (03:39)
Dido • Life for Rent
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there,
They'll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad
It's not so bad and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Push the door,
I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me

And I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Don't Think of Me (04:33)
Dido • Life for Rent
So you're with her, and not with me,
I hope she's sweet, and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully, a little angel beside you
So you're with her, and not with me,
Oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house is smart and clean,
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be...

When you see her sweet smile baby,
don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms,
don't think of me

So you're with her, and not with me,
I know she spreads sweet honey
In fact your best friend,
I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel

When you see her sweet smile baby,
don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms,
don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad,
don't think of me
Oh it's too late and it's too bad,
don't think of me

Does it bother you now all the mess I made
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played
Does it bother you now when I'm not there

When you see her sweet smile baby,
don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms,
don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad,
don't think of me
Oh it's too late, oh it's too bad,
don't think of me

My Life (02:59)
Dido • Life for Rent
What I choose to do
Is of no concern to you and your friends
Where I lay my hat may not be my home
But I will last on my own

'Cause it's me, and my life
It's my life, it's my life

Oh the world to set in the palm of my hand
Not that you'd see
And I'm tired and bored of waiting for you
And all those things you never do

'Cause it's me, and my life
It's my life, it's my life
