I said lay your hands on me
I said lay them real slow
Let me feel that old electricity
coursing through skin adn bone
I said cut me right open
Creep into my chest
Close isn't close nought
I need you right inside of it
When the pain s coming my love bubbling over and starting to show
I said I'll hold your face to mine, look you right in the oddamn eyes and you'll say no, no no
Well you ain't no solution
I ain't that naive
To think that this will solve nothing but
I could sure use a little relief
Searching for satisfaction outside of myself
I know that it's fruitless but
is it so wrong fro a girl to want a little help?
When the pain is coming my love and starting to show
Well I"l beg and I'll plead
I'll get down on my knees but you'll sy no no no
You'll say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no you'll say no and then you'll go away again

I feel the sunshine creeping in my heart, my heart
The mountain climbers
Grow their hands in me
I hear the calling of
Your heart in mine
You say it's faint, but I know that it ain't dead
I know what I want and I am going to get it
Now so close can feel it's breath on my neck taste it in my mouth
You were the thing I thought I had to rid myself of to be free
Can't believe I pushed it all away
And I feel the mountains climbing in my love, my love
Scar tissue rising, towering above but I will cut through
And I know that there is still a place for me inside of you
Well I hear the common questions sure, they're calling out my name
Have you really grown so different love or are you just the same same same
I swear to find that joy again, that voice that I once knew
And come to hear it loud and proud like I hear you said
Say now gone wrong
Just don't ever let me here you say I''m done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done
I hear horizon creeping closer to me, closer to
And I'm bleeding on my shoes and out my head
My heart is like a rock, it was creaking now it's rolling down hill
Well you'll catch it won't you
I feel the sunshine creeping in my heart and my heart breaks under the weight
I hear it all and I can't bear the stakes
It's all choicelessness at the end of the day and I don't know are the only words built of truth
It's not this life I want to part with
It's the lie that I need anything from you

Oh my dear darling
What fate have you imposed upon us here
You act as if you see it coming
Then tie yourself down to the tracks and wait for the train to appear
You're begging or a lesson but cover your ears ladada when teacher tries to speak
Or is it just the voices of the children
you've disquised as monsters long ago who beg to be set free I'm saying
All that you'll have left will be memories
That you'll all to soon forget and
Honey it's a fool's bet
Someday it will all be over but it's not over, it's not over yet
Some bleed pride, this girl bleeds hunger
Trying to find the answers to this hell inside her mouth
But all of its just poison so it doesn't really matter if she swallows it or spits it out
No pretty words to dance around it I'm just feeling bad about it now
This gave is digging in my head said
I don't know what I believe in
But this poor heart is tired of grieving now
Won't you let me put it down
Down down down down
Oh my dear darling
What fate have you imposed upon us here

Two timed in a familiar restaurant and hour so from home
Next to me my company seem something like your ghost
Apple pie way to sweet, her bright eager eyes, his semi-precious smile
Now the lights are way to low
Its a quarter to one or so woah
Darling why don't you stay awhile
Maybe this time we can make it right
I know we don't speak the same language sometimes
And you've got your reasons why
But you never even let me try no
I swear there's more to this than that
I swear there's more to this than that
Well Neil young on the radio and yes I've felt the rain
The candles burning oh so slow, oh here I go again I said
It's too hot outside and heavy
I wish I had my basement back
I'd roll one alone
Put on headphones
And drown you out but
I swear there's more to this than that
I swear there's more to this than that
I swear there's more to this than that
That's why I keep coming back
My problems they all have long names now tell me what is your excuse
Tired of killing all my time, but it's just dying here without you
Blatant lies, almost tangible words that you speak
But i don't understand, so I do what I can
hell yeah he's coming home with me but
I swear there's more to this than that
I swear there's more to this than that
I swear there's more to this than that
That's why I wait..
And while I'm waiting time is taking it out on me
To the soundtrack that follow me it seems
Burnt houses around the corner
Well I'm still burning and you're still colder than I could ever be
Than I could ever be
I swear there's more to this than that
That's why I keep coming back...

For every man that I've ever loved
And all the ones I couldn't get enough of
This one's for you - This one's for you
For every guy who caught my eye
And all the one's that passed me by
This one's for you, this one's for you
I'll take with me all the memories I hold close when I am blue
Yea you are a part of me now
Just like I'm a part of you
For every fella who ever treated me right
And all the girls who spent the night, that's right
Oh this one's for you
I am who I am in part at your hands
And glad to say happy to be here so thanks again
It's the least I could do
From the bottom of my heart straight up and true
This one's for you

Trouble

He's got glassy hair and owl eyes
A shirt that's all the wrong size
He smells like cigarettes and dirt
He probably tastes even worse woah
He smiles cause he's not listening to a single word you've said
Yea, but when he smiles he looks just like a little kid
And when he sings the blues ooo..
Well there ain't nothing you can do but fall
That boy is trouble
Well if looks can kill soon I'll be dead, but if I survive I'm gonna be in his bed
Giving him the what for and screaming out curse words oh
Well I guess the rest is best left unsaid
That boy is trouble
Well I don't know his name
Right now I can't even remember my own
I don't know where he's from, I don't know whence he came
But I'm going to take him home
That boy is trouble
That boy is trouble

You're smiling so sweet, you're holding my hand but if you're trying to say something I still don't understand
I said baby (baby)
Won't you take me home
The feeling is right but is the timing wrong?
Don't want to scare you away, don't want to wait to long
Oh baby (baby) won't you take me home
I'm trying to read in between your lines, yea I'm looking for clues and searching for signs
Oh baby (baby)
Won't you take me home
You're the cat's meow, the creme de la creme
Don't want to play the fool, don't to lose a friend
Oh baby (Baby)
Won't you take me home
But does she know (know, know)
I don't know know
What would she say (say, say?)
Would she turn away ooo
You drive me cat nip crazy
Am I the cat or the mouse
You're leaning in real close so take me back to your house...
Oh baby (baby)
But do I know (know, know)
No I still don't know
Guess I could say (say, say)
But I'm going to leave it for another day

Feelings, I said feelings scrambling neath my skin
driving me home to you and driving me away again
Feelings, I said feeling, creeping up the back of my neck
Always on the hunt for something oh lord lets not catch my death
Well I've climbed my share of mountains, stumbled in some shitty creeks
I've kissed my share of fella's on their pretty cheeks but
Nothing gets a hold of me lord quite like them
And enemy to some, a problem child of most relationships and life experiences, we're all unwitting hosts
Parasitic little things, right or ruining they won't let me rest
So I said shutup you goddamn stupid mthr fcking pieces of sht
I used every tip I've heard, and all my profane words
But there just ain't no reasoning with
Oh feelings, feelings they follow me wherever I been - Might as well stop fighting cause I know they'll win
Feelings, follow me wherever I've been
Dragging me out on the road and making me lonely for home again

Please take me out of the city
My bones are aching for now
Please take me out of the city
I don't know where I'm going but I've gotta get there somehow
The stench of the streets and these old shoes on my feet
I don't mind getting dirty oh, but this is dumb
The noise and the pain and all this goddamn old rain
There ain't much room left in this old heart at all
Please take the bigotry out of the country
Ain't it a crying shame
Take the bigotry out of the country and give nature back to her good name
The pain and the fear about things that aren't even happening here
How could anyone thing skin color's enough to place the blame
I get the birds and the bees sure, but the trump supporters oh please
What's this old world coming to my friends?
Won't you please take me away from this lover
How can you trust such a soft hear to these hands
Won't you please take me away from this lover
I want to be a good one but I don't know if I can
