JAY-Z
100 Centuries
[Intro: James Fauntleroy]
As I lie awake and try to figure out
Who you are and where you're comin' from
And if you're scared to leave
Because you're not gonna be here tonight
You know you're coming back here

[Verse 1: d-stro]
'Cause nothing's gonna change what you do
You ain't gonna make me fly
Like the sunset fade away
And I know I'm gonna have to leave again
'Cause I know you're comin back (Back, back, back, back, back)
How He gave to us, He gave to us, God himself, He gave to us
The last little birdiе who never shared
Thе last little birdie who never sang
The last little birdie whose life she loved
The one little birdie whom his friends knew
The last little birdie who never sang
The last chance he gave to us
The last little birdie that he never knew
He gave us some more and we all liked it
Like a lucky lover who feels the sun that has come and gone
The last little birdie who never sang that song
Who we never knew who loves us
The last little birdie who never misses a lift
Who was never really there
He was always there, always all the time
The last little birdie who never sings a song
Who makes our hearts sing
The last little birdie who never sings
[Chorus: Mike Posner]
Right next to your heart
You can't move it like a mirror
I'm gonna put my hands under your knees
In a hundred centuries (Hey, hey)
Can't you see it's just a fantasy
What goes around comes around
I can't move like a mirror
I wanna see you move it like a mirror
You can move like a mirror
You can move like a mirror
Can't you move like a mirror
You can move like a mirror
I can't move like a mirror

[Verse 2: d-stro]
You don't need to hear it
Lately I've tried to live it again
All that's left is the love
Somebody tells me once in a while
Is there something that I missed
Someone to lean on
And I've been in love for a while
But it's just not enough
And right before my love is gone
I've been in love for a while
But no one would tell
That my love is gone
It's the end of another working day
I'm not afraid of a smile
Don't you feel the same
How do you explain it
I'm tired of being alone
I'm not afraid of being down
All those words won't come
When I reach my destination
I need to think about tomorrow
It doesn't matter what they say
[Interlude: John Legend]
If I could feel something, feel something
I would

[Verse 3: d-stro]
I want to be where I'm supposed to be
So I stare out across the moonlight
At those times where I feel low down
I wanna find the woman
That fills the light where I'm meant to be
That fills the light where I'm meant–
A river runs right through my heart
We're not in love, so what?
Is this romance, or just a dream?
When I look into your morsel of tears
Into your eyes, into your mouth
We're only doing the best we can
You're just not doing your job, baby
Just do your job, do your job baby
You knew it and I was so ashamed
Well, I started loving you
You came on so strong in a matter of time
Let's do one last face for love
Come do the whole cheesy twist
I don't know how it feels
I don't know why it's so lonely at all
Well, I don't know how it feels
I don't know why it's so lonely at all
When you let me love you, too
I remember when you taught me
How to walk without your hand
I got so depressed, yeah
[Chorus: Mike Posner]
Right next to your heart
You can't move it like a mirror
I'm gonna put my hands under your knees
In a hundred centuries (Hey, hey)
Can't you see it's just a fantasy
What goes around comes around
I can't move like a mirror
I wanna see you move it like a mirror
You can move like a mirror
You can move like a mirror
Can't you move like a mirror
You can move like a mirror
I can't move like a mirror

[Interlude: Future]
I'll be your mirror (Hey, hey)
I'll see you naked (Pay, pay)
You'll pay (You say, you pay?)
Oh, you're my friend
Let me, let me in
I'm a fool for you
Can't take it, girl
You look so happy

[Bridge: Rihanna, Kid Cudi, Rivers Cuomo, *d-stro*, Jay Z]
And no one told you what you wanted (Mic check)
Then the world caught on a little how different you were (Ayy)
Now you love me instead you knew I'd come to see (I'd come to see)
We'd be different now you came back (*Hey, hey-hey, hey, oh*)
And told you that death was on the way (On the way, hey, hey)
Now you're just the same old guys want
We'd kiss and laugh till the end

[Verse 4: Jay Z & Big Sean]
I can't get out of this thing that we live for (Boy, boy)
People saying I don't know
Everything I know about you (Boy, boy)
But I don't know about you who knows about me
I feel the walls closing in on me
And you can't see a single day
I'm just one too many miles away
Yeah, you see this ship (Boy, boy)
Go our separate but still in time
Unless you believe that we've lost it all (Boy, boy)
I'll see you somewhere I can follow your signs
I love so much, even now (Boy, boy)
Tell him that I'll always stick together
Livin' our love, of course
How can I forget another
Another time, another place (Boy, boy)
Why go home with the person
I love so much, even now
He said, I don't care, I'm just a baby (Boy, boy)
I know you're just not that kind of man
I'd still call you on your knees (Boy, boy)
I know you're just not that kind of man
All I needed was your honest lies
And a little faith when I'm losing it (Boy, boy)
Because you know you know I do
I know you're just not that kind of man
Let me be the last to know (Boy, boy)

[Verse 5: Big Sean]
Tell me why you have to cry
Tell me why we took so long, believe it or not
Tell me who'd offer the kind words that you treasure
Tell me why you have to keep your feelings open shut your ears
The first one that I gave was to the preacher
The preacher told me to pray, play my part
Then he told me to go where I'll be praying, I went to his house

[Chorus: Mike Posner]
Right next to your heart
You can't move it like a mirror
In a hundred centuries (Hey, hey)
I can't move like a mirror
I wanna see you move it like a mirror
You can move like a mirror
You can move like a mirror
Can't you move like a mirror
You can move like a mirror
I can't move like a mirror

[Outro: Mike Posner & Charlie Wilson]
Tell me why I have lost my mind
Tell me where the colors are at
Tell me what you can do
Tell me who'll be the best
