The Question
03:24
|
|||
|
do you ever get nervous when a friend walks by?
did you see her smile and just want to die?
did your thoughts stay of her long into the night?
did she ever make you feel better than life?
and I'll throw a couple whiskey sours down my lonely throat and
and I know you'll find a way to make my big mouth choke
though I already know the answer
still oh, I think I'll ask the question
don't you have something that needs to be asked?
don't you know your time is going fast?
did you ever think about where she might go?
if you never had the guts to let her know
and I'll throw a couple whiskey sours down my lonely throat and
and I know you'll find a way to make my big mouth choke
though I already know the answer
still oh, I think I'll ask the question
did you ever fall for your best friend?
did you ever stop and think it out till the end
did you ever hold her in your arms as she cried?
did she ever fall for another guy?
and I'll throw a couple whiskey sours down my lonely throat and
and I know you'll find a way to make my big mouth choke
though I already know the answer
still oh, I think I'll ask the question

Eliza's Eyes
04:54
|
|||
|
my girl said we'll get a little place, name the baby for my mom
it'd been a long long time since in the ground she'd gone
sure we had our debts to pay and time lost to make up
but in her belly slept our only sign of some good luck
after I flew far away to bring back something green
plowed through two double doors, stopping for a drink
poison slid down my throat and went straight for my mind
for then I looked across the roomed, locked in Eliza's eyes
there is not one ounce of me that don't regret each step I took
when Johnny Walker led us up the stairs and to her room
a tussle in the hay that made my sweetheart die
a rainy night in a dirty bar where I saw Eliza's eyes
alcohol pumped in my brain and pushed me to the brink
placed a picture in my mind that I did not want to think
fire soared through my veins and made my soul go cold
a night trapped in Eliza's eyes, all it took to be alone

Carolina

oh carolina won't you come and take me home
I got nothing left to say to her so please leave me alone
oh carolina won't you let me see your face
I got nothing left to feel for her 'cept mountains full of hate
oh carolina you've got nothing left to waste
there's just something in my heart that tells me "please put her away"
oh carolina its an old and gloomy road
but theres something at the end of it that i just have to hold
won't you
come and
take this
off my mind
won't you
see me
sweet carolina
oh Carolina don't you see what she has sown?
now the aching in my heart has spread deep down to my bones
oh Carolina she just left without a trace
and since I've seen the reasons why she's just the kind you can't replace
oh carolina won't you come and take me home
I got nothing left to say to her so please leave me alone
oh carolina won't you let me see your face
I got nothing left to feel for her 'cept mountains full of hate

Her Way Home
03:16
|
|||
|
She has a name
And a face
She's got some talent she's letting to waste
She's got a heart
And a soul
Now she's a little girl lost in the cold
And I hope
One day you'll make it back home
And I want
You to have someone special to hold
She was a star
She was the queen
She worked it hard and she'd glow on the screen
She was on top
She was the one
But now she's flying straight into the sun
Now she's
All by herself in the streets
and she thinks
The needle is all that she needs
And I hope
One day you'll make it back home
And I want
You to have someone special to hold
She knows a man
He's fifty-one
He'll give her wings when she lets him have fun
He's all she knows
She's all alone
I hope to god that she finds her way home
And now she's
all by herself, she's alone
and I'm stuck
thinking of all i did wrong
And I hope
Someday you'll make it back home
And I want
You to have someone special to hold

Leave Now
04:40
|
|||
|
Leave now, save yourself
You don't deserve this
and neither does anyone else
Leave now, be yourself
I just can't love you
the way you deserve to be loved
I'll love you
When we meet again
I'll kiss you
When I see you again
I'll love you
When we meet again
I'll kiss you
When I see you again
I'll love you
When we meet again
I'll kiss you
When I see you again
And when I finally see you again,
We'll find out where our love has been
Leave now, go find yourself.
But the whole wide world ain't waiting just for you
Leave now, go gracefully.
I just couldn't stand seeing you end up like the rest
Leave now, I'm bringing you down
And I can honestly say this was not you, this was me.
I'll love you
When we meet again
I'll kiss you
When I see you again
I'll love you
When we meet again
I'll kiss you
When I see you again
I'll love you
When we meet again
I'll kiss you
When I see you again
And when I finally see you again,
We'll find out where our love has been
I'll love you
When we meet again
I'll kiss you
When I see you again
And when I finally see you again,
We've found out where our love has been
Leave now, move on
I need you to get up and get out of my life.

She's Like
02:30
|
|||
|
She's like raindrops on the lawn
She's like watching the break of dawn
She's like the best day you won't forget
She's like, she's like
She's like fresh paint on the house
She's like a snowflake in my mouth
She's like her eyes when I see her
She's like, she's like
And when I'm with you I can't believe
That I'm with you
And you don't see
All I've been through
She's like green bud that gets me high
She's like flying in the sky
She's like dancing but so much more
She's like, she's like
She likes my face, and I'm in luck
She wants my words to keep her up
She likes my hand holding hers
She likes, she likes
And when I'm with you I can't believe
That I'm with you
And you don't see
All I've been through

Good To Grow Up
03:21
|
|||
|
you're just a kid and pleading won't get you your way
bleed yourself dry, it seems like you're wasting your day
just hope you know, it feels good to grow up
I've said it before, you know the rest
don't beat yourself up, goddamn you're the best
I'll give you the floor, you'll do the rest
don't hold yourself back, i know you're the best
don't get me wrong, I'll never leave or give up
I know its tough so I'll stay and listen as much
just hope you know, it feels good to grow up
I've said it before, you know the rest
don't beat yourself up, goddamn you're the best
I'll give you the floor, you'll do the rest
don't hold yourself back, I know you're the best
just hope you know, it feels good to grow up
goddammit…grow up

The Awakening
01:52
|
|||
|
I see the darkness in your eyes
I see the emptiness arise
I watch as our connection dies
We sat and watched the time go bad
Wish we could relive the time we had
A time back when we weren't so sad
You and I, we were perfect yes
Thought we'd be faithful for the rest
But over time we failed the test
Thought this would be an awakening
But it didn't teach me anything
Just made me want to stop and sing

Goodbye
04:00
|
|||
|
I wonder if she thinks about me ever
Like I think about her every day
My strange compulsion pays off once again, I see her face
Now I'm just waiting for the door to open
Because it's getting harder to breathe in this cage
And my hand crawls down the small of her back
In my mind I make an excuse
Because there's no point in failing every time
I guess she seems just fine without me
It's better than I hoped
And when she's with him she is happy, so even if I choked
And slipped and made the biggest blunder
Then everything's okay
Though She got away
And my hand crawls down the small of her back
In my mind I make an excuse
Because there's no point in failing every time
and some nights i sleep and dream about her
but she's gone, gone back to the farm
cause there's no point in failing every time

She's Gone
04:22
|
|||
|
I remember the day she never went away like it didn't happen
A part of me, erased, the blankness on her face
The nights on the phone when she poured her soul into mine
I remember it fine
But she swallowed me with lies
Behind these broken eyes
When I fell to the side and saw that she's gone
Facing this girl, revealing new truths
Her thoughts turned like the moon
Whatever she hurt, I could stand to lose
But I needed her too
Like a specter of death she had gone and left
on she had moved
For a mountain came up and tore us in two
after that day I wept 'cause she's gone
Did you even try?
Everything I sent passed by
Would it be that hard?
Just to say goodbye
Do you remember the story I let you read?
When I let you into part of me?
Do you remember how it made you cry?
And now I can't let anyone inside
She's gone

Angel Eyes
02:15
|
|||
|
Every time I look in those angel eyes
I think about all the lies I used to tell you
We used to lay at night
Lay under a crescent moon
We'd swing to the same old tune
When you loved me
You took my hand
When you were on East Coast time
about you I wrote a rhyme
that I never told you
then you moved away
far west, closer to the bay
so much I desired to say
how much I loved you

A Rose
02:00
|
|||
|
I want touch your soft skin
I want to hear you beg me in
I want to feel your every breath
And the pulsing heart between your legs
I'm sorry I can't be close to you
And do the things you want me to
To tug your skirt and kiss your hips
And pull your hair and bite your lip
I don't know why she hurts herself
But makes me feel like I've never felt
My empty search for happiness
Led me to dreams of an addict's kiss
I'm sorry I'm so far from you
My lonely heart it holds me to
I never thought a girl like you
Would ever even want me too
Why am I so far away?
Why are you so far from me?

After All
04:29
|
|||
|
I've got a bad dream in my head
It won't go away
I saw a girl I thought was dead
It seems she's here to stay
I've been writing out my thoughts
With nothing more to say
Since I walked into the dark
Then never got away
And I wonder if the jump
Was ever worth the fall
I realized today
I'm the bad guy after all
I sit inside my cage
This window holds the world
I see the ways she changed
And wonder if I could
Will I ever have the strength
To reach into the day
And say I'm sorry or to thank
For what I took away
And I wonder if the jump
Was ever worth the fall
I realized today
I'm the bad guy after all
I want nothing but to talk
And see if she's okay
But I'll never know, I think
Because of my mistake
