Light Heavyweight
02:53
|
|||
|
It’s just where she comes from
It’s all she ever knew
And long before you and I she was packing the proof
With her eerie face of calm
No one can tell
The difference between her smile and her go to hell
Just below the limit
She’s a light heavyweight
Light heavyweight
Light, heavy, make you sink like a stone
Light heavyweight
Light heavyweight
She got the power
To take you down, before you know, before you know
She don’t have it all planned out
It’s just how she feels
But when she puts it on you, you can tell that it’s real
Perpetually unaware
But when she stares
You can tell that she means what she says and she’ll do what she said
Just below the limit
She’s a light heavyweight
Light heavyweight
Light, heavy, make you sink like a stone
Light heavyweight
Light heavyweight
She got the power
To take you down, before you
Light heavyweight
Light Heavyweight
Light, heavy, make you sink like a stone
Light heavyweight
Light heavyweight
She got the power
To take you down, before you know, before you know

Miss You Like Crazy
03:31
|
|||
|
Like the past was a bottle, I’ve been drinking to you
Haunted by the mistakes, I made like a fool
Since you left, I’ve barely survived
So I wrote a song for you, to say I want you back
I played it live from our living room on the big brown chair
I mailed it out on Saturday, I hope it’s there
Oh I miss you like crazy, and know somewhere baby
That you’ve been missing me too
Yesterday morning, I swear I could smell
Your long black hair laying down on the pillow you left
Our bed feels empty, this house ain’t alive
So I wrote a song for you
I’m gonna sing you back
I played it live from our living room on the big brown chair
I mailed it out on Saturday, I hope it’s there
Oh I miss you like crazy, and know somewhere baby
That you’ve been missing me too
Without you here, the decorations have faded
Just like all the things, I used to want to do on weekends
We didn’t have much, but we had a good time
Oh you know it wasn’t all bad, just listen to the track
I played it live from our living room on the big brown chair
I mailed it out on Saturday, I hope it’s there
Oh I miss you like crazy, and know somewhere baby
That you’ve been missing me too

Just About to Know Her
03:11
|
|||
|
I’ve been living a lie
, believing things I know ain’t true
Hoping that in time, there’d be something that I could do
Hearts and yellow flowers
aren’t her thing
And when you think you know her, she’ll change
Oh I was just about to know her
Just about to love her
Just about to know her
But then she was gone
Oh I was just about to know her
Just about to love her
Just about to know her
But then she was gone
Then she was gone
Bending all my will
, long before I could see
It happened every time, right there in front of me
But when she cracks a smile
I can’t explain
More beautiful than any living thing
Oh I was just about to know her
Just about to love her
Just about to know her
But then she was gone
Oh I was just about to know her
Just about to love her
Just about to know her
But then she was gone
Then she was gone

Without You
03:01
|

|
Bluebird sitting on my window sill
Breeze blowing by my little hill
Like silence is a sound
Good book open on a Saturday
Cup of coffee and I turn the page
Always something to be found
The second time around
Without you
Sunday morning’s right on time
Without you
The scenery’s been slowing down
Without you
The forecast calls for sun
No chance of rain
Cleaning house getting out old stains
Feeling twenty-one again
Surprised at what I’ve dropped
I used to say I never will
But you never know until
Everything is lost
But it was worth the cost
Without you
Sunday morning’s right on time
Without you
The scenery’s been slowing down
Without you
The forecast calls for sun
No chance of rain
Who knew of all the things there are to do
The places I can go round here
I hope you find the same thing in your life
As long as you stay far away from here

Stonewallin'
03:15
|
|||
|
You got something to say, she don’t wanna hear
And the more fair you play, the dirtier it gets
And the air in the room, smells kinda like death
And the longer she takes, the worse that it gets
Now she’s stonewallin’
Following the name calling
Only the good Lord knows
how long it’s gonna last
Now she’s stonewallin’
Following the name calling
And it’s been going on longer than I’d like to admit
And anytime, you got something to do
Her mouth explodes, and flies cross the room
And every word, is set to kill
You’d think I’d have learned, but here I am still
Now she’s stonewallin’
Following the name calling
Only the good Lord knows
how long it’s gonna last
Now she’s stonewallin’
Following the name calling
And it’s been going on longer than I’d like to admit
Everything was great, we were having fun
Finally getting somewhere, finally moving along
But she flips a switch, and my baby’s gone
Replaced with a witch, that won’t get along
Now she’s stonewallin’
Following the name calling
Only the good Lord knows
how long it’s gonna last
Now she’s stonewallin’
Following the name calling
And its been going on longer than I’d like to admit

Everything Golden, don’t shine
Everything Golden
, don’t shine all the time
Oh and there’s lots of people out there
Exaggerating all the time

Think they’ll fight ya and outlast ya
Say they’re smoother, so much better than you
Oh and there’s lots of people out there
Exaggerating all the time

Everything Golden

Everything Golden

Oh and there’s lots of people out there
Exaggerating all the time

Say they’re smoother

Oh and there’s lots of people out there
Exaggerating all the time

How much of her current life was written long ago
In small east Texas towns, feeling so alone
How much of the sadness that she wears just like a crown
Will fade away with time and nightly kneeling on the ground
Oh it often doesn’t come around
She’s falling down
For someone to lift her back up
No it often doesn’t come around
She’s falling down
For someone to lift her back up
How much of her future life is written in the stars
As she hands a paper bag to a hungry heart
How much disappointment can she take before she breaks
Although she’s pure and kind, people take and take and take
Oh it often doesn’t come around
She’s falling down
For someone to lift her back up
No it often doesn’t come around
She’s falling down
For someone to lift her back up
Oh if you see her out there, please be kind
If you see her out there, she’s on my mind, she’s on my mind
How much of her worried mind can find a place of calm
Past memories of hell, haunting her too long
Will she ever settle down and make a cozy home
Living safely in the grace and sing a happy song
Oh it often doesn’t come around
She’s falling down
For someone to lift her back up
No it often doesn’t come around
She’s falling down
For someone to lift her back up
For someone to lift her back up

The Family Seal
03:19
|

|
You look like your father
But you got your mother’s eyes
You look like your father
But you got your grandpa’s smile
Take what you want
Leave what you don’t
And make a plan
Your fate is in your hands
You don’t have to be your old man
If you keep your head up
Maintain a strong will
You’re gonna be delivered
From the family seal
If you keep your head up
Maintain a strong will
You’re gonna be delivered
From the family seal
Take what you want
Leave what you don’t
And make a plan
Your fate is in your hands
You don’t have to be your old man
If you keep your head up
Maintain a strong will
You’re gonna be delivered
From the family seal
Oh If you keep your head up
Maintain a strong will
You’re gonna be delivered
From the family seal
You look like your father
With your uncle’s sense of right and wrong
You look like your father
With your mother’s taste for wine and song
Take what you want
Leave what you don’t
And make a plan
Your fate is in your hands
You don’t have to be your old man
If you keep your head up
Maintain a strong will
You’re gonna be delivered
From the family seal
If you keep your head up
Maintain a strong will
You’re gonna be delivered
From the family seal

Someday
02:55
|
|||
|
That old magic’s coming back
and the days are going quicker, somehow
And I feel less attacked
, closer to you now
When all is said and done
We’ve had our share of fun
And heartaches by the pound
If we’d only known, as we went round and round
Someday, this pain will be useful
Someday, this pain will help us learn
Our fortune’s gonna bloom full
And this pain will be gone
Now I’m feeling once again
and my heart is growing warmer, somehow
And the fear is less intense, there’s comfort now
With every step we take
We’re trailing our own way
We’re steering every turn
If we’d only known, how much we had to learn
Someday, this pain will be useful
Someday, this pain will help us learn
Our fortune’s gonna bloom full
And this pain will be gone

Again
02:12
|

|
Oh I get up sometimes
Even though we’ve had a lot of rain
Then I go down sometimes
When I’ve felt a lot of pain
Here I go
Again
And again
And again
Oh I get up sometimes
And it’s hard to be mean
Then I go down sometimes
Very rarely in between
Here I go
Again
And again
And again
Yeah I get up sometimes
When there’s nothing left to say
Then I go down sometimes
For the rest of the day
Here I go
Again
And again
And again

Way Down Deep Inside
03:22
|
|||
|
Way down deep inside
You don’t feel how you look and you haven’t for a long long time
Way down, you know I’m right
No one likes change, but baby I think it’s time
Change, ain’t called change, for nothing
If you’re gonna change, it’s gonna take something
Way down inside
Deep down inside
Way down deep inside
You haven’t liked how you’ve looked at yourself for a long long time
Way down, you know I’m right
Just see where you are and take one step at a time
Change, ain’t called change, for nothing
If you’re gonna change, it’s gonna take something
Way down inside
Deep down inside
Way down deep inside
Way down deep inside
You don’t feel how you look and you haven’t for a long long time
Way down, you know I’m right
No one likes change, but baby I think it’s time

I Won't Give In
03:28
|
|||
|
They don’t hear your voice
All they see is the color of your skin
They don’t own their choice
They wanna blame it on their neighbors and their friends
But I won’t give in, I won’t give in
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
No I don’t mind running too long or burning too strong again
I don’t mind playing for keeps, us all keeping our seats in the end
I don’t mind turning to deep, dark, bloody sin
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
They don’t hear your voice
All they see is what they want again
They don’t own their choice
They wanna blame it on their neighbors and their friends
But I won’t give in, I won’t give in
I won’t give in, I won’t give in
No I don’t mind running too long or burning too strong again
I don’t mind playing for keeps, us all keeping our seats in the end
I don’t mind turning to deep, dark, bloody sin
I won’t give in,
I won’t give in
I don’t mind turning to deep, dark, bloody sin
I won’t give in,
I won’t give in
I won’t give in,
I won’t give in
I won’t give in,
I won’t give in

For the First Time
03:02
|
|||
|
I thought I could make it on my own
But the world has its way of showing you you’re wrong
I couldn’t even remember the last time that I’d smiled
It was all I knew and it was all the time
I thought other people thought like me
But it turns out that I was pretty naïve
I’m so freaking tired of wondering why
I’m gonna spend my time worrying about my own life
I’m gonna paint it black
I’m gonna send it to hell
Fully feel the drag
To be living well
For the first time, for the first time, for the first time
It’s hard to believe it till you see
But sometimes change comes instantly
Instantly after you put in the time
It feels strange to say but I’m doing fine
I’m gonna paint it black
I’m gonna send it to hell
Fully feel the drag
To be living well
For the first time, for the first time, for the first time

All Things Blowing By
03:31
|
|||
|
All things blowing by
Can create smiles or sorrows
All things blowing by, blow by, blow by
All things come undone
No matter which you road you follow
All things come undone
So have fun, have fun … have fun
All trophies are lost
You can’t take ‘em with you
All trophies are lost, lost
Some tricks never learn
To follow the rising sun
Some tricks never learn, so learn, learn … learn
Some people are safe
They make life so much better
Some people are safe, safe
Someone’s gonna burn
You can’t save ‘em from it
Someone’s gonna burn, burn, burn … burn
Some words never say
They don’t convey meaning
Some words never say, so say, say
All things blowing by
Can create smiles or sorrows
All things blowing by, blow by, blow by … blow by
