How Am I

You were the girl I could never deny
You had a story I wanted to buy
I wanted you now and forever, you were so charming and clever
That I couldn’t see it was only a lie
How am I gonna cry now, without you to hurt me?
How am I gonna be let down?
How am I gonna sing, when I sang everything about how you kicked me around?
I started to think maybe you were the one
But you were just having a little fun
I was a fool to believe you, to think that I told you I need you
When I should have turned around and run
How am I gonna cry now, without you to hurt me?
How am I gonna be let down?
How am I gonna sing, when I sang everything about how you kicked me around and around and around?
Maybe I’m hooked on feeling bad
(I gave you the world and you asked me for more)
Maybe I miss something I never had
(I showed you my heart and you showed me the door)
Of all of the women I’ve been with, and there were a few to begin with
You were the best one at making me sad
So I ask you, how am I gonna cry now?
How am I gonna be let down?
How am I gonna sing, when I sang everything about how you kicked me around and around and around and around and around?

My Front Door

Won’t you please, won’t you please come and knock on my front door?
It’s been a long lonely year, and I don’t think I can wait anymore
I miss the way that you undress
I miss the heartbeat in your chest
Won’t you please, won’t you please come and knock on my front door?
Can’t you see, can’t you see the reason why I left you alone?
It was the wrong time and place, I know I cut you down to the bone
Don’t wanna swallow any more regret
And all the rain hasn’t drowned me yet
So won’t you please, won’t you please come and knock on my front door?
Falling apart in the afterglow
Your mix tape playing on the stereo
An extra key left upon my shelf
And I start to hate myself
Let it out and just let it go
Open your heart to the love below
Take me in like you did before
Don’t leave me waiting anymore
I can’t believe, can’t believe that there was nothing more to say
Your face is all I can see when I turn out the light each day
Just take me back to that night in June
When I held you close underneath the moon
Won’t you please, won’t you please come and knock on my front door?
Falling apart in the afterglow
Your mix tape playing on the stereo
An extra key left upon my shelf
And I start to hate myself
Let it out and just let it go
Open your heart to the love below
Take me in like you did before
Don’t leave me waiting anymore
Just come and knock on my front door
Don’t keep me waiting anymore
I keep on finding your hair on my floor
Don’t keep me waiting anymore
‘Cause you’re the only one I adore
Won’t you please, won’t you please come and knock on my front door?
It’s been a long lonely year, and I don’t think I can take anymore
Won’t you please, won’t you please come and knock on my front door?
Won’t you please, won’t you please come and knock on my front door?
Won’t you please, won’t you please...
Won’t you please, won’t you please...

Pick Me Up

When I saw you on the subway
You had your headphones on
I only turned around to look for my stop and then you were gone
When I found you online
You know your status didn’t show
All the dirty little secrets about you that I wanna know
C’mon and pick me up
Till I can’t come down
You keep me calling out, hey, baby...
All I wanna do is lay my eyes on you while I can
I don’t wanna be another lonely heartbroken man
I don’t care who was your lover
I don’t wanna know his name
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before and I’m tired of playing the game
We’ve got a big blue sky
And this road goes anywhere
Just roll the window down and let the past blow outta your hair
C’mon and pick me up
Till I can’t come down
You keep me calling out, hey, baby...
All I wanna do is lay my eyes on you while I can
I don’t wanna be another lonely heartbroken man
If you wanna go up on a volcano, then baby, I could show you around
Come and go with me and plant a family tree before they put me in the ground
Well I’ve been walking on a wire
But now I wanna take a dive
And when you throw your arms around me I can finally feel alive
I gotta get my hands dirty
Gonna put my feet on the ground
And maybe we could live a day or a lifetime in this old town
C’mon and pick me up
Till I can’t come down
You keep me calling out, hey, baby...
All I wanna do is lay my eyes on you while I can
I don’t wanna be another lonely heartbroken man
All I wanna do is lay my hands on you while I can
I don’t wanna be another lonely heartbroken man
I just wanna be your man
Oh baby, while I can
I don’t wanna be another lonely heartbroken man

Down in the Blue

You came to me with your heart in your hands
I turned away, I could not find my plans
You’re so complex, I don’t know what’s next
I might go around the whole world
Before I can say, I gave it all to a girl
Tear me down, till I show no signs of life
Build me up, till my hands reach the sky
Whisper my name, make it new, shiny and gold
Lock me in chains, set me free, make me whole
Picture a home on a hill miles away
High overhead, a raven cries for her prey
What do you see, could that be me, waving my arms in the air?
Throwing away my bad dreams, your despair
Tear me down, till I show no signs of life
Build me up, till my hands reach the sky
Whisper my name, make it new, shiny and gold
Lock me in chains, set me free…
Now I don’t know how to write the end
And how to make it all come true
I’m afraid I’ll get it wrong again
Instead of building something new
What could I expect? Another shipwreck, taking me down in the blue
Under the ocean - that’s where I found you
Tear me down, till I show no signs of life
Build me up, till my hands reach the sky
Whisper my name, make it new, shiny and gold
Lock me in chains, set me free, make me whole

The Good Old Days
04:25

|
Broken hearted and I haven’t had a drink all day
Sick and tired of all the fighting and the wars we wage
Bought a banjo with the last 20 bucks I had
Now I’m singing and my body doesn’t feel so bad
Made my living on liquor stained stages and bars
Gave ‘em notice, baby, now I’m shooting for the stars
Bought a ticket but I haven’t got a place to stay
Got a feeling, honey, these are the good old days
And the look of love will break your heart
And the plans you made will fall apart
Met a girl from Holland out on Bourbon Street
Never caught her name but damn, she was pretty and sweet
Heard the river calling down where the trombones play
Got a feeling, honey, these are the good old days
Got my records and my favorite pair of shoes
My piano and there’s nothing else left to lose
But something told me that I’d end up singing the blues
And the look of love will break your heart
And the plans you made will fall apart
Ghetto blaster and a cold six pack of beer
Made a promise that it’s gonna be a better year
Missed my train but now the sun’s shining on my face
Got a feeling, honey, these are the good old days
Got a feeling, maybe these are the good old days
Got a feeling, honey, these are the good old days
