Lyrics:

When we first left, I tried to speak. Cause when we’re home we both pretend to sleep. I can’t recall colder skies, driving her back through that night She’s catching her breath She tells me now: “We’re quiet, so I wanna go home.” I’m holding my breath to keep her now, but she has gotta know, i gotta stop biding time just to say. Don’t bite your lip in restraint. You and my friends, a glass of wine spilling your heart like I don’t mind. I’m holding my breath To hear you now say what you should’ve when we were alone. I’m catching my breath to keep it down I gotta find the words I gotta stop biding time just to say. Don’t bite your lip in restraint. You slur your lines just to blame, oh and I know it all just sounds the same. All the things that I can replace. Oh and if you want me to change I’d have given you a go. Been waiting up through the days, follow through when you will. I’ve been waking to the sun, I break into a run, I’m telling everyone, I’ll call it. I’ve been waking to the sun, I break into a run, I’m telling everyone, I’ll call it now. you got you got you got me now. you got you got you got me now.

Lyrics:

We met just once, but I really knew. And this heartache that you barely may remember still pulls me through. And if time spanned back again, would you know and try to change my tune? Could we take it back? But you moved out west or some thing like that. Where seasons barely had a sense of meaning and the coast slips back. And swallows up the end as we know and try when you asked again. Will you take it back? And you always were type. And I said it first if you remember. Under the weather Where I found a sip of you Just for a moment, And you’ll always be my type.

Lyrics:

I should come and ask you piece it all apart My eyes on the roadway and my head is in the dark What an awful long year, oh January Wont you just get here, come on over by the ferry It’s far too late, I’m begging come away It’s far too late, I’m begging stay awake I was on the road, she was on the right set a date I was leaving home, she was going wide, come away Driving alone, you can stay on your loss Can’t we go missing lost you can’t find the pain I’m not escaping, just trying to keep it sane Keep above man, man won’t you go away Oh the load the load oh the load heavy all the same

Lyrics:

We were tied through fear ?in the hope we’d grow.?Your retreat from home could end?where we slept beneath the side of my bed?in an empty house I shared with my friends. When the hope fades south?and the steps caved in.??When the embers hold below?and remind me of you coming home?to wash all the smoke from your clothes. But I don’t mean to say?that all my love had turned away.?But I just need you for the weekend?or a while. Are you right with god??Was he on your side??As the days shrink back again?turn to quiet, sink into dread,?shading all the thoughts in my head. So, I speak with death.?Will he work with time??To the days longer in light.?He picks her from the back of my mind.?blots her out and changes my sight??and with the sense from you?that all my love had turned away.?And I believed that for these weeks and for a while. I don’t mean to prepare for this. ?I could never say why.?I don’t need this now. But I just need you for the weekend or a while.

Lyrics:

So I lay As a snake By a city street And I wait For the sun To heat the concrete Seven days That was all That you gave me But back at my place I could’ve sworn That we were the same thing Was your river Too shallow for my boat to cross? Is all hope lost? Well I hope not Separate your feelings Forget about love I was ready and willing To go beyond and above While it rains Music plays In your bedroom Other men Flood your past Like a monsoon On a thought Or a dream That’s what I think And I would call But I know You’d say the same thing

Lyrics:

I was your rock in your wildest transition Doctored you up in the worst of your days So you preached me your gospel when no one else listened Yes I sat in your pew just to hear what you’d say Eastern time’s just like a car where the brake lights Are burned out from stoppin’ one too many times So you look out your rearview, catch the last of the sunlight Hope whatever’s down the road is worth what’s left behind Always turn to sometimes Sometimes turn to nevers Temporary goodbyes Turn into forever You go sing your Rocky Top And buy a tighter skirt And I’ll leave my Great Smoky Love with you babe And you can decide what it’s worth I thought of you while all the white constellations Burned through the black veil hung up in the sky If those stars persist to be seen through the darkness Then I sure as Hell can remain in your life You like to be kissed when we passed by the drug store Our town’s only traffic light lit up in red When the yellow bulbs burned you would lean in for one more But these days I hope for the green lights instead Eastern time’s just like a car where the brake lights Are burned out from stoppin’ one too many times So you look out your rearview, catch the last of the sunlight Hope whatever’s down the road is worth what’s left behind

Lyrics:

Come in We’ve been waiting for you Gotta get this restless heart peace Place your hands in mine, and this time The lines we draw won’t be the lines we cross I just can’t take this livin’ without you Every word I heard I knew was true Stay out ‘Til you calm down No shakin’ in your skin, no lock between your ribs just say, “now” Place your hands in mine this time The lines we draw won’t be the lines we cross I just can’t take this livin’ without you Every word I heard I knew was true

Lyrics:

“Everything is different now,” Sing the winds of change All the love I have in my heart Is enough to heal all the pain For love is true infinitely And through the truth is the way And love is tall, and love is wide And love is good and gay What you see That you are Let it be Who you are Without intermediaries, Liberty abides Beyond the broken boundaries Behold, the Human in the Heights Forgiving all apologies A name, renewed, is prepared Embracing all identities The godless, the queer What you see That you are Let it be Who you are

Lyrics:

I woke you from your sleep To save you from your dreams Or were they distant memories Creeping up from beneath the sheets? I can't stop you, even if I wanted to You've got to go Don't blame you for leaving Won't be begging you to stay When that big wind starts blowing The southern clouds away

Lyrics:

Youre a pretty young son With a pretty young soul With my blue jeans on With my blue jeans on Hes a pretty young soul Got a pretty young son In the bed A synonym song In my head He dont mind at all Mind at all Hes a pretty young soul He dont mind at all Got my dirty on sheets And my disbeliefs And everyone said We go down to cheat He dont mind at all Mind at all He dont mind at all At all At, at all Want me die Want me to die Want me to die Youre a pretty young son With a pretty young soul With my blue jeans on Hes a pretty young soul

Lyrics:

My mama is a hemmingbird, workin to feed our little, hungry mouths, chirpin. And as the day turns into darkness, you will sometimes say, There are times when I wish I hadnt rushed with it. The lives that fall on your arms in a sequence, and how yours slips through the cracks of the floorboards. And as I age you see the resemblance, and you carefully say, Take your time with the lovers that you make. The lives that pass through your eyes on the TV, and how it prints on to your brain as your dreaming, And as I age you see the resemblance, and you carefully say, Take your time with loves that you make.

Lyrics:

Lustily we roamed And I was wrecked alone, Gazing upon a perfect frame. She was counting days, Somewhere in the fade, Caught in an artificial haze. Swallowed by the past Of songs and photographs, An heir that she could barely breathe ...baby, we were three Don't write it off, The frame fades slow, Here we part. I let you go. Jumped into a lake, Soaking up the rays, Me and my holy family Hunting up a thrill, Swallowing the pills And drinking our lonely hearts to sleep. Ragged, laid to waste, Just looking for a taste Of what it was like when we were free ...baby, we were three. So don't write it off, The pain fades slow, Here we part. I let you go. Oh, Oh, Oh I let you go. Wandering across the face of some restless place, that godforsaken wasteland, where we made our home til winter came and buried us in snow. And every night you slept, I would sink into a bottle, I was only trying to hollow out a place where we'd escape that jagged faith, but you found grace in a cafe. Two fallen saints in an alleyway. Reveling in our victory. False sparks ignite in a Midwest sky above to guide us home. And now I surely know, I can't let you go. Oh, oh, oh I can't let you go.

Lyrics:

You better run boy time to let her go We got to leave and let the city burn Don’t look behind don’t let your pace slow down And in the harbour we’ll make this turn Raise the sails As the wind blows toward the sun Head down and run Love is waiting in another’s eyes But your were lost boy cause you were blind Captivated by when you last saw The way her eyes said she despised you more You may have failed She’s gone and won’t return Your lessons learned Your lessons learned Ooooh have we been here before Cave the stairs don’t you let her go Hold her close try to keep her warm But she starts to burn

Lyrics:

Monsoon erupts, it’s not enough to stop working My calluses move up, come on in Replace my heart with rough skin I’m all but withered up, hey back to work kid Shiver shed some blood, then come on in Replace your thoughts with rough skin I’m in a war for a better life Wasting all day in a handout line Where all I hear is hurry up Even behind a gun, in America Where you work till you’re broken, then sift through the wreckage I’m gonna work till I’m broken, and give in to bullshit Monsoon erupts

Lyrics:

All my friends came home Riding down the river We sang that song All my friends came home Riding down the river We sang along GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY Well she was walking away miles and miles out towards the sun and she wasn't having much fun Nah she'd sit idly by staring up at the empty sky Saying oh why oh why do the birds make me feel this way? But I was looking out after her and thinking the same thing myself and what did I see? It was a lonely old man who was thumbing along and he was looking out after me And he was singing... Now I ain't gonna be alone any more I don't wanna sit by and watch the stars shine and watch the sun burn and watch the earth turn while the world learns Nah I'm gonna be out there with my chest in the air and I'll make something of what I see And if you're at my side and a fist full of pride well you can walk along with me And we'll be singing... GLORY GLORY All my friends came home Riding down the river We sang that song All my friends came home Riding down the river We sang along GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY All my friends came home Riding down the river We sang that song All my friends came home Riding down the river We sang along GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY 1 2 3... GLORY! And we'll be singing... All my friends came home Riding down the river We sang that song All my friends came home Riding down the river We sang along GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY GLORY All my friends came home Riding down the river We sang that song All my friends came home Riding down the river We sang along

Lyrics:

You're up, up, and away But where are you really going to If I Fuck up today and burn the only bridge to be crossed You just might keep me alive I've lost too much blood to be shouting this much, which is why Go by and by, Renee, Hold your boy down, he has plenty left to say Oh you've too much, on your plate And momma you're really going to the thing that we Both used to hate, come on let's burn the only bridge to be crossed You just might keep me alive I've lost too much blood to be shouting this much, which is why Go by and by, Renee Radio down as the enemy invades And this is the devil You're not alone You can't steady your arrow Keep em aimed on the throat And there's only so much that we can take (Come on we'll take it) So many broken boys wishing they could walk away Wishing they could walk it off Oh the cowboys They'll be signing On the mountain tops To Jesus Oh the cowboys They'll be singing On your mountain tops To Jesus Don't hate yourself Your mind's not ready Your feet on fire You guilt a real live wire Don't you mind your health You just keep on smoking Under rivers so wide With your lips on fire And the cowboys (i know it's getting dark) They'll be signing (hold hands, it's getting hard) On the mountain tops (bleeding hearts are taking the job) To Jesus (i'm sorry, i was wrong) Yeah your cowboys (i know it's getting dark) They'll be singing (hold hands, it's getting hard) On your mountain tops (bleeding hearts are taking the job) To Jesus (i'm sorry, i was wrong) This is the devil You're not alone You can steady your arrow keep em aimed on the throat When there's only so much that we can take Come on we'll take it So many broken boys wishing they could walk away Wishing they could walk it off

Lyrics:

Won't you come and follow me, underneath the apple tree daddy planted 15 years ago, years ago (x2), You will find her buried there, pretty girl with long dark hair, When she died I cried all night and day, night and day (x2), There's a language we had made, In the summers by the lake, Now we'll know the stories we relayed, Now the leaves are turning brown, Dandelions grow around, All the people that I used to know, used to know (x5)

Lyrics:

Church bells rang out in the streets / For the men coming home from overseas / And our town breathed a sigh of relief / Like a curse had been lifted / Well we stand while we watch the parade / we ate popcorn and drank lemonade / With the sun on the faces / We played the streets of New England / I can see when he stepped of the bus / As he made his way over to us / He's not the same man as he was / Before he enlisted / And she stood over there alone in the door / And said "Mama dont cry anymore / Now that daddy's come home from the war / Everthing's gonna be different" / When the hot summer sun went down / Mama put on her green evening gown / They went out for a night on the town / The streets of New England

Lyrics:

three merry men, rode out of town, out of sight, towards a sense of what was right, the first men died

Lyrics:

Pictures to fixtures I want to kiss your sisters I'm hung up again I'll take my chances she caught making passes I'm coming up my driveway bend I'm careless and tired shoelaces on the wire You only so many things behind Don't tell my mother I've taken on a lover But things will be different this time I can't sleep over I must be getting older So why can't I just write it down I've learned my lesson you can't make confessions You can't even muster a sound

Lyrics:

When I put you to bed You sleep until the morning comes When our ship comes in We'll be on easy street When I put you on a plane You'll fly back home again If it stays the same You can say that you knew me when We can count our change And try to fill our pockets up We can change our names So nobody can find us We can sleep all day And we'll put this town behind us When it falls apart ... our hearts to say goodbye to it Ahhhh Ah Ahhhh

Lyrics:

After the audition, shook his hand and drive away/ Charlie the director called me on the following day/ He offered me the role, said its one that I was born to play/ Met the lead actress on a Thursday afternoon/ She looked like Rita Hayworth, she was living in a motel room/ Camera started rolling on the twenty-second day of June/ Cause everybody knows the show must go on, everybody knows/ There's hardly any money, everybody works for scale, guess who started backing out the night Charlie went to jail? Charlie called his father, you know his father put up his bail/ Charlie had a habit nearly everybody knew, his attitude effected the entire cast and crew/ Finally wrapped the picture, somehow we made it through/ Cause everybody knows the show must go on, til the last lines have been delivered and the curtain has been drawn/ Cause everybody knows the show must go on, til the credits finish rolling and the pictures gone/ Critics crucified me, they were clearly out for blood/ said I would never work again and they dragged my name through the mud/ Under those conditions I say I gave the best performance I could/ Waited outside his house on the night of the big premiere/ came home drunk and asked me, "What the hell are you doing here?"/ The gun went off in my hand, you know it left a ringing in my ear/ cause everybody knows the show must go on, cause everybody knows the show must go on, cause everybody knows the show must go on, cause everybody knows the show must go on

Lyrics:

You wore your mother's smile and your velvet dress You wrote the past clean the day he left Everyone I know looks for love to feel young again I got a hard earned heart I got a hard earned heart Tell me can you take me in All the faces fading in between Out of back seat windows up on TV screens Everyone I know looks for love to feel young again Chorus Everywhere I turn, everything I burn All that I needed I know I can’t have Breaking like the sun, sleeping like a gun Waiting to go off on my past If you know me now like you knew me then Tell me will you ever let me in For all the minds that I lost tonight I feel gone but I feel alright I got a hard earned heart I got a hard earned heart

Lyrics:

They’re calling your name but nobody needs to know About the way we grow up and we let go Of all we need, gravity turns to a best friend I saw you falling down I saw you falling down for love Did you ever think we’d make it? Tell me did you ever think we’d make it this far? Remember the maps I stretched out on the kitchen floor I heard you ask where’ve you been, who have you loved before These questions are nothing, by now we should know Yes we should Chorus When I saw you leaving, nothing in your eyes There’s someone out here who needs you And you turn your head and sigh When I saw you leaving, you never made a sound When I saw you falling down I saw you falling down x3
