Here's a story of falling in love with a man of too many shades. At the blink of an eye I see his color change. It's enough to make me go insane. Flying from one extreme to the next.
Not far, not far from here. You'll say, "You're safe, my dear". Where mountains run into shores. Love song, goes on so pure. . Not far, not far from here.
Hey, baby, they're playin' our song. The one we used to hear when we used to get along. Hey, baby, they're playin' our song. Let's get back together, that's where we belong.
You say 'Replay, run it back and forth'. But I'm nothing like the girl you knew before. I told you I'd be fine on my own. And I can't promise to stay.
That's what my heart yearns for now love and pride.. That's what my heart yearns for now love and pride.. . Start your journey early or maybe later. Get your boots on.
I heard that you were trying to bag me, and I said no, no, no. Yes I smoke crack who doesn't know that, now you know, know, know. I ain't got a mind. I think my daddy is fine.
Take it slow like a pill. Swallow down what you think you is. Said your hard but you ain't as hard as him. Makin' sense of the days. Your work is grimm but you find your place.
I couldn't be happy in the city at night. You can't see the stars for the neon light. Sidewalk's dirty and the river's worse. The underground trains all run in reverse.
Anxiety. How do you always get the best of me?. I'm out here living in a fantasy. I can't enjoy a goddamn thing. Anxiety. Why am I never where I am supposed to be?.
I hope you find something to love. Something to do when you feel like giving up. A song to sing or a tale to tell. Something to Love, it'll serve you well.
I'm arriving on the day's last train.. Stepping on the platform, trying to see you through the rain.. I don't know the ways you've changed since I left,.
You want to grow up to paint houses like me. A trailer in my yard till you're twenty three. You want to be old after forty two years. Keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gears.
Don't roll away that stone, girl. Leave it where it lay. You think he's coming home but you know it's not today. I think the road will break me and never fill the holes,.
I was out there all alone.. I was searching for a friend.. You saw my need and you came along.. With that charm you took me in.. . Then one night you captured my heart..
In a razor town. You take whoever you think you can keep around.. There's an echoed sound. That permeates the sidewalk where she shuffles 'round.. It's a big machine..
I got green and I got blues. And everyday there's a little less difference between the two.. So I belly-up and disappear.. Well I ain't really drowning 'cause I see the beach from here..
What can you see from your window?. I can't see anything from mine.. Flags on the side of the highway. And scripture on grocery store signs.. Maybe eighteen was too early..
Let the night air cool you off. Tilt your head back and try to cough. Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw. Let the night air cool you off.
I moved into this room, if you could call it that, a week ago.. I never do what I'm supposed to do.. I hardly even know my name anymore.. When no one calls it out, it kinda vanishes away..
It's not long flowing dress that you're in. Or the light coming off of your skin. The fragile heart you've protected for so long. Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong.
