Anna Kendrick Lyrics
A Part Of That lyrics - Anna Kendrick
(from "The Last Five Years" soundtrack)
One day we're just like
"Leave It to Beaver."
One day it's just a
Typical life
And then he's off on
A trip to Jamie-land
Staring catatonic out the window
Barely even breathing all the while...
And then he'll smile
His eyes light up, and deep within the ground
Without a sound
A moment comes to life
And I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
Next day it's just like
It never happened...
We're making dinners
We're making plans
Then he gets on the
Mule train to Jamie-land
Handful after handful of Doritos
Circling the apartment, logging miles...
And then he smiles
His eyes light up, and how can I complain?
Yes, he's insane
But look what he can do
And I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that...
And it's true
I tend to follow in his stride
Instead of side by side
I take his cue
True, but there's no question, there's no doubt...
I said I'd stick it out
And follow through
And when I do...
Then he smiles
And where else can I go?
I didn't know
The rules do not apply
And then he smiles
And nothing else makes sense
While he invents
The world that's passing by
And I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
Aren't I?
I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
I'm a part of that
A Summer In Ohio lyrics - Anna Kendrick
(from "The Last Five Years" soundtrack)
I could have a mansion on a hill
I could lease a villa in Seville
But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in Ohio
With a gay midget named Carl playing Tevye and Porgy
I could wander Paris after dark
Take a carriage ride through Central Park
But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in Ohio
Where I'm sharing a room with a former stripper and her snake, Wayne
I could have a satchel full of dollar bills
Cures for all the nation's ills
Pills to make a lion purr
I could be in line to be the British queen
Look like I was seventeen
Still I'm certain I prefer to be going slowly batty
Forty miles east of Cincinnati
I could shove an ice pick in my eye
I could eat some fish from last July
But it wouldn't be as awful as a summer in Ohio
Without cable, hot water, Vietnamese food, or you
I saw your book at a Target in Kentucky
Under a sign that said "New and Recommended"
I stole a look at your picture on the inside sleeve
And then I couldn't leave
Richard who was with me got uncharacteristically quiet
He said "All things considered, I guess you don't have to buy it"
So I smile like Mona Lisa and I lay my Visa down
He wants me, he wants me
But he ain't gonna get me
I found my guiding light
I tell the stars each night
Look at me
Look at him
Son of a bitch I guess I'm doing something right
I finally got something right
No, it's not Nirvana but it's on the way
I play "Anita" at the matinee
Then I'll get on my knees
Pray I can state in my next bio
I'm never gonna go back to Ohio
I could chew on tin foil for a spell
I could get a root canal in Hell
But it wouldn't be a swell as this summer is gonna be
Cause the torture is just exquisite
While I'm waiting for you to visit
So hurry up schmuck, get unstuck and get on the scene
Love the midget, the stripper, Wayne the snake, and Mrs. Jamie Wellerstein
That's me
Anna Love lyrics - Anna Kendrick
It's not where you start, it's where you finish
It's not how you go, it's how you land
A hundred to one shot, they call you a klutz
Can out-run the favorite, all you need is the guts
Your final return will not diminish
And you can be the cream of the crop
It's not where you start, it's where you finish
And you're gonna finish on top
It's not where you start, it's where you finish
It's not how you go, it's how you land
All you need is the guts
Your final return will not diminish
And you can be the cream of the crop
It's not where you start, it's where you finish
And you're gonna finish on top
She's played the palace and she's played the dumps
She can do [?] and she can do bumps
She's taken her vows and she's taken her lumps
Lord, help us, we love her
She's danced for a fortune, she's danced for a buck
In front of the Queen, on the back of a truck
Been upstairs at Downton and down on her luck, but
Lord, help us, we love her
We love her [?] days, her pixie ways
That bit of gypsy in her soul
We love her TV shows, her UFOs
Her good old friend Aurora, Dorris, Weezer, and Nicole
The music is playing, the light shining bright
The aura is strong, the vibration is right
Our world of illusion will [?] tonight, so
Lord, help us, we love her
We love her
What a step up, holy cow, they'd never believe it
If your friends could see you now
Can't Stop The Feeling! (Film Version) lyrics - Justin Timberlake (with Anna Kendrick, Gwen Stefani, James Corden, Ron Funchess, Zooey Deschanel, Icona Pop, Christopher Mintz-Plasse & Nayyar)
(from "Trolls" soundtrack)
[Anna Kendrick & Justin Timberlake:]
I got this feeling inside my bones
It goes electric wavy when I turn it on
And if you want it inside your soul
Just open up your heart, let music take control
I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops
I can't take my eyes up off it
Moving so phenomenally
Room on lock the way we rock it
So don't stop
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
[All:]
Nothing I can see but you
When you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance
Come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon
So keep dancing
I can't stop the feeling!
I can't stop the feeling!
So just dance, dance, dance
Come on
[Anna Kendrick & Justin Timberlake:]
Ooh, it's something magical
It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushing on
Don't need no reason, don't need control
I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone
'Cause I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops
I can't take my eyes up off it
Moving so phenomenally
Room on lock the way we rock it
So don't stop
Under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
[All:]
Nothing I can see but you
When you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance
Come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon
So keep dancing
(I can't stop the feeling!)
So just dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling!)
So just dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling!)
So just dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling!)
So keep dancing, come on
[Justin Timberlake:]
I can't stop the—
I can't stop the—
I can't stop the—
I can't stop the—
[All:]
(I can't stop the feeling!)
Nothing I can see but you
When you dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling!)
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance
Come on
(I can't stop the feeling!)
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
(I can't stop the feeling!)
And ain't nobody leaving soon
So keep dancing
[Justin Timberlake:]
Everybody sing
(I can't stop the feeling!)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling!)
Got this feeling in my body
(I can't stop the feeling!)
Wanna see you move your body
(I can't stop the feeling!)
Got this feeling in my body
Break it down
Got this feeling in my body
Can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body
Come on
Climbing Uphill lyrics - Anna Kendrick
(from "The Last Five Years" soundtrack)
When you come home to me
I'll wear a sweeter smile
And hope that, for a while, you'll...
Okay, thank you
Thank you so much
I'm climbing uphill, Jamie
Climbing uphill
I'm up every morning at six
And standing in line
With two hundred girls
Who are younger and thinner than me
Who have already been to the gym
I'm waiting five hours in line
And watching the girls
Just coming and going
In dresses that look just like this
Till my number is finally called
When I walk in the room
There's a table of men
Always men - usually gay
Who've been sitting like I have
And listening all day
To two hundred girls
Belting as high as they can!
I am a good person
I'm an attractive person
I am a talented person
Grant me Grace!
When you come home...
I should have told them I was sick last week
They're gonna think this is the way I sing
Why is the pianist playing so loud?
Should I sing louder?
I'll sing louder
Maybe I should stop and start over
I'm gonna stop and start over
Why is the director staring at his crotch?
Why is that man staring at my resume?
Don't stare at my resume
I made up half of my resume
Look at me
Stop looking at that, look at me
No, not at my shoes
Don't look at my shoes
I hate these stupid shoes
Why did I pick these shoes?
Why did I pick this song?
Why did I pick this career?
Why does this pianist hate me?
If I don't get a callback
I can go to Crate and Barrel with mom and buy a couch
Not that I want to spend a day with mom
But Jamie needs space to write
Since I'm obviously such a horrible, annoying distraction to him
What's he gonna be like when we have kids?
And once again...
Why am I working so hard?
These are the people who cast Russell Crowe in a musical
Jesus Christ, I suck, I suck, I suck, I suck
When finally you come home to...
Okay, thank you
Thank you so much
I will not be the girl stuck at home in the 'burbs
With the baby, the dog, and the garden of herbs
I will not be the girl in the sensible shoes
Pushing burgers and beer nuts and missing the clues
I will not be the girl who gets asked how it feels
To be trotting along at the genius's heels
I will not be the girl who requires a man to get by
And I...
When you come home to me
I'll wear a sweeter smile...
Cups lyrics - Anna Kendrick
(originally by Charles Adams Prince)
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause my baby, he's gone and left this town
Feeling tomorrow just like I feel today
If I feel tomorrow just like I feel today
I'll pack my trunk and make my getaway
St. Louis woman with her diamond rings
She pulls my [?] around by her [?]
If it weren't for her powder and her store-bought hair
The man I love, he wouldn't have gone nowhere, nowhere
I love that man like a schoolboy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his [?]
I'll love that man till the day I die
Cups (Movie Version) lyrics - Anna Kendrick
(from "Pitch Perfect" soundtrack)
I got my ticket for the long way round
Two bottles of whiskey for the way
And I should would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do ya say?
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Cups (Pitch Perfect's "When I'm Gone") lyrics - Anna Kendrick
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow. What'd you say?
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're sure gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Get Back Up Again lyrics - Anna Kendrick
(from "Trolls" soundtrack)
I really hope I can do it
'Cause they're all depending on me
I know that I must leave the only home I've ever known
And brave the dangers of the forest
Saving them before they're eaten
I mean, how hard can that be?
Looking up at a sunny sky,
So shiny and blue and there's a butterfly
Well, isn't that a super fantastic sign?
It's gonna be a fantastic day
Such marvelousness it's gonna bring
Got a pocket full of songs that I'm gonna sing
And I'm ready to take on anything
Hooray!
Some super fun surprise around each corner
Just riding on a rainbow, I'm gonna be okay
Hey!
I'm not giving up today
There's nothing getting in my way
And if you knock-knock me over
I will get back up again
Oh
If something goes a little wrong
Well, you can go ahead and bring it on
'Cause if you knock-knock me over,
I will get back up again
Oh, oh, oh, get back up again
I'm marching along, I got confidence
I'm cooler than a pack of peppermints
And I haven't been this excited since
I can't remember when!
I'm off on this remarkable adventure
Just riding on a rainbow
What if it's all a big mistake?
What if it's more than I can take?
No, I can't think that way
'Cause I know that I'm really-really-really gonna be okay
Hey!
I'm not giving up today
There's nothing getting in my way
And if you knock-knock me over
I will get back up again
Oh
If something goes a little wrong
Well, you can go ahead and bring it on
'Cause if you knock-knock me over,
I will get back up again
Get up, get up, get up
Get back up again
Get up, get up, get up
I'm okay!
Get up, get up, get up
If you knock-knock me over, knock-knock me over
I will get back up again
