He's got his walls and his ways
Waves are gone, he has his days
As a lot oh his mind too bad
He's only happy in inside
Has his canons which he fileslll
The only boy I know can't cry.
I can see the ground I can't see you
And see our hometown I can't see you
Leave the lights on when I'll go
So I can watch you down below.
How this loss been his loss
They all bridges he had to cross
We have bridges that we burn
And had so much we had to learn.
He has his canons which he files
The only boy I know can't cry
I can see the ground I can't see you
And see our hometown I can't see you
Leave the lights on when I'll go
So I can watch you down below.
The only boy I know can't cry
I can see the ground I can't see you
And see our hometown I can't see you
Leave the lights on when I'll go
So I can watch you down below.
It was back in Little Bend that I saw you
Light was changing on the water
Where birds above had flown
There was pain in your eyes
So you vanished in the night
Missouri River in the distance
So I lied upon the lawn
I remember walking against the darkness of the beach
Love is like a ghost in the distance, out of reach
Travel through the night 'cause there is no fear
Alone but right behind, until I watched you disappear
I'm moving through the dark
Of a long black night
Just moving with the moon
And the light it shines
And I'm thinking of a place
And it feels so very real
Just moving through the dark
Once I had a dream
I was falling from the sky
Coming down like running water
Passing by myself in light
In the morning, I would wake
To the sound of someone's voice
Like little whispers through the silence
I'm moving through the dark
Of a long black night
I'm looking at the moon
And the light it shines
But I'm thinking of a place
And it feels so very real
Oh, sufferer of love
Come and take my hand, babe
There's a turn in the road that we've been taking
Let it set you free
'Cause there's a rhythm in the way that we've been moving
Yeah, there's a darkness over there, but we ain't going
See it through my eyes
Walk me to the water
Hold my hand as something turns to me
Love me every night
Drown me in the water
Hold my hand, is something turning me?
See it through my eyes
Love me like no other
And hold my hand as something turns to me
And turns me into you
Lead me through tonight
Pull me from the water
Hold my hand as something turns to me
Turns me into you
Just see it through my eyes
Love me like no other
Hold my hand as something turns to me
Turns me into you
Turning me into you
God knows they told me, they really did
But I believed you, I really did
You even told me, you really did
Didn't believe you, I never did
'Fo,re you forget just who you are, yeah, are
You go ahead and tell 'em no, no, no, no
No, nah, nah, nah
This'll be the last time I pretend
This'll be the last time I give in
Look me in the eye when you tell your lie
This time it's a all or nothing thing
This'll be the last time I pretend
This'll be the last time I give in
Look me in the eye when you tell your lie
This time it's a all or nothing thing
I shoulda showed you, I really should
What I was made of, I never would
I let you sell me the way you did
If I remembered I'm solid gold
'Fore you forget just who you are, yeah, are
You go ahead and tell 'em no, no, no sir
Say no, nah, nah, nah
This'll be the last time I pretend
This'll be the last time I give in
Look me in the eye when you tell your lie
This time it's a all or nothing thing
This'll be the last time I pretend
This'll be the last time I give in
Look me in the eye when you tell your lie
This time it's a all or nothing thing, yeah
[Wyclef Jean:]
Do you try?
So our dream won't die
Now you can't justify
The guilt got me tongue-tied, oh no, no
When I say someone please call 911
That's 'cause I realised the wrong that I've done
Emergency, somebody shot my heart down
But two wrongs don't make it right
[Ray BLK:]
I was blind but now I see
Took an L but now I'm G
You could never be faithful but you were my religion
So I believed you when you said you were changed
You were playing me like a game
When I said I want TLC
Didn't mean somebody that creeps
Now I'm ghost and you say that ya haunted
'Cause all you think 'bout is how bad you want it
This'll be the last time, the last time
This'll be the last time, oh
So look me in the eye when you tell me lies
This time it's a all or nothing thing
Said, this'll be the last time, the last time
This'll be the last time, the last time
Look me in the eyes when you tell me lies
This time it's a all or nothing thing
She make a bad man wanna turn good, no, no
It's useless, don't do this
It's hubris to try
He's ruthless, you knew this
I told you, didn't I?
He's abusive, elusive
The truth is, he lies
I know you don't want to let go
And just like before
I can see that you're sure
You can change him but I know you won't
The devil doesn't bargain
He'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
He's never gonna change
He'll never be Prince Charming
He'll only do you harm again
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
I'm not one to lecture
Talk down to a friend
I don't mean to pressure
Mean to condescend
But I just want what's best for
You in the end
I know you don't want to let go
And just like before
I can see that you're sure
You can change him but I know you won't
The devil doesn't bargain
He'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
He's never gonna change
He'll never be Prince Charming
He'll only do you harm again
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
And I know you think
He'll change this time
But I think that you will find
The devil doesn't bargain
He'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
He's never gonna change
He'll never be Prince Charming
He'll only do you harm again
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain
Mmm
Mmm
Wanna be king in your story
I wanna know who you are
I want your heart to be for me
Oh, I
Want you to sing to me softly
'Cause then I might run in the dark
That's all our love ever taught me
Oh, I
Call and I'll rush out
Mmm
All out of breath now
You got that power over me
My, my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You got that power over me
My, my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
You got that power over me
(My, my)
You got that power over me
(My, my)
Remember the lake in the moonlight?
Remember you shivered and shone
I'll never forget what you looked like
On that night
But I know that time's gonna take me
I know that day's gonna come
I just want the devil to hate me
Oh, I
Call and I'll rush out
Mmm
All out of breath now
You got that power over me
My, my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You got that power over me
My, my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
You got that power over me
(My, my)
You got that power over me
(My, my)
It was all in doubt
They were all around
So we hide away and never tell
You decide, if darkness knows you well
That lesson of love, all that it was
I need you to see
You got that power over me
My, my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You got that power over me
My, my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
You got that power over me
I know that I let her down, oh
Let her down, oh
You got that power over me
My, my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You got that power over me
My, my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
You got that power over me
Give me your heart, give me your song
Sing it with all your might
Come to the fountain
And you can be satisfied
There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain
And let me hear you testify
Into the wild
Canyons of youth
Oh, there's a water to fall into
Weighless we'll dance
Like kids on the moon
Oh I will give myself to you
As soon as you start to let go
Give me your heart, give me your song
Sing it with all your might
Come to the fountain
And you can be satisfied
There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain
And let me hear you testify
Wave after wave as we close too deep
Oh I reveal my mistery
As soon as you start to let go
Give me your heart, give me your song
Sing it with all your might
Come to the fountain
And you can be satisfied
There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain
And let me hear you testify
There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain
And let me hear you testify
This stone the mountain
Rising from the ground
There's no denying beauty makes a sound
We can't escape it
There's no way to doubt
This stone the mountain
Rising all around
Give me your heart, give me your song
Sing it with all your might
Come to the fountain
And you can be satisfied
There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain
And let me hear you testify
There's a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain
And let me hear you testify
You can get lost inside
(You can get lost inside)
You can get lost inside
Let me hear you testify
There, I'm all alone again
And it seems as though it's never been so bleak
With the prize still in my hands
I'm led away towards a fate I cannot flee
Broke a bargain on my end
To redefine, cut all the ties that incomplete me
Turn around I know the winds there
And I was blind for all the sights I could have seen
And the crown that I might get here
Won't prevail against the walls that I can't breach
Take the reins now in my stead
I'll move away from all the eyes that cannot see me now
See me now
Hear the raging in my past
Hear the rising of my breath
Far away, as the veil is nearing death and I'll grieve
But the fire is lit again, it's slowly burning me within
All the way, as the scene is nearly set, and I'll see
Butterflies, that are aching me inside
Through the veins, as they cut out all the mess
And they won't rest till I bleed
Then I'm all alone again
And it seems as though it's never been so sweet
Let me write it all by hand
And I'll be the one I'm told I cannot be
All the roads that are ahead
Lead away from all the arms that cannot reach me now
Reach me now
See the fading of the past
The unwinding of the thread
It was all above me
Right above my head
Now it's pouring on me
It's dawning on me
That everything that's golden
Is buried deep in grounds eroded
Now start digging there where all the lines meet
When the light has gone away
When the light has gone away
Not afraid
Not afraid
Not afraid
Of the dark
And the rise we're on will be
And the rise we're on will be
All the same
All the same
All the same
As the fall
And the signs went up again
And the signs went up again
Don't be late
Don't be late
Don't be late
To the door
Or the ride will never end
Or the fight will never end
Gone around
Wasted years to get it
Now throw away my only friends
Form a line
They make you pay to get in
My God
Gone around
Wasted years to get it
Now throw away my only friends
Form a line
They make you pay to get in
My God
Am I too late
I'm not my father nor my cares
I'm not my body
There is no me
Get it now
But you will know me brother
Know me brother
And the price went up again
And the price went up again
Buy the weight
Buy the weight
Buy the weight
On your heart
And the body that we're in
And the body that we're in
Not awake
Not awake
Not awake
But not dead
And the foes we're up against
And the foes we're up against
Are not there
Are not there
Only there in our head
Are not there
Are not there
Only there in our head
Are not there
Are not there
Yeah, oooh
Caught up in specialness
I wish you could see
That we are kings of bliss
Begging for misery
We get lost in comparison
Looking outside of me
Now, I see this world is unraveling
I wonder, who could we be
Oh, I don't want to see us lose
Any more time
This moment is a mountain to move, yeah
So move it inside
Wake up now
Wake up now
Wake up now
Wake up now
'Cause Mary Anne is a healer
She had pain on the mind
She said, "Your money's your medicine"
But she's sick all the time
'Cause you got lost in comparison
Always, pretending you knew
When everything you were looking for
Was already looking at you
Oh, I don't want to see us lose
Any more time
This moment is a mountain to move
So move it inside
And wake up now
(Oh, I've been thinkin' about it)
Wake up now
(Oh, I've been thinkin' about it)
Wake up now
(Oh, I've been thinkin' about it)
Wake up now
(Oh, I've been thinkin' about it)
Give it to me, realness
Give it to me, stillness
Give me some forgiveness
Give it to me, wholeness
'Cause I was lost in comparison
Always, pretending I knew
But everything I was looking for
I was looking through, ohh
Wake up now
(Oh, I've been thinkin' about it)
Wake up now
Headed down south to the land of the pines
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road
Pray to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
I can see my baby tonight
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey mama rock me
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band
My baby plays the guitar
I pick a banjo now
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a turnin' back
To livin' that old life no more
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me
Walkin' due south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
Had a nice long toke
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby callin' my name
And I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh
At least I will die free
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me
Softly, in the evening dusk, a woman is singing to me
She takes me back down the vista of my years, until I see
I see a child underneath the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
Pressing the poised feet of his mother who smiles at him as she sings
Cucurucu, cucurucu
Softly now in the evening dusk, a woman is singing to me
She takes me back down the vista of my years, until I see
A boy, a child underneath the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
Pressing the poised feet of his mother who smiles at him as she sings
Yearning to belong, yearning to belong
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
In spite of myself, and all of these nursery songs
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
Till the melodies of childish days, are upon, upon me
And they take me back, back down the river
They keep leading me on, they lead me to the sea
And all of my manhood is cast
Down in the flood of remembrance, and I weep like a child for the past
Singing cucurucu, cucurucu
Singing cucurucu, cucurucu
I see a child underneath the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
Pressing the poised feet of his mother who smiles at him as she sings
Listen to me son, I'll tell you why your father's strong
'Cause he can still say every single day, he's yearning to belong
Yearning to belong, yearning to belong
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
In spite of myself, and all of these nursery songs
My heart beats with a ceaseless, meets with a peaceless burning to belong
Singing cucurucu, cucurucu
I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was Monday
Maybe I'd be back around
If this keeps me away much longer
I don't know what I would do
You've got to understand it's a hard life,
That I'm going through
And when the night falls in around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
'Cause all I think about is you
L.A. is getting kind of crazy
And New York is getting kind of cold
I keep my head from getting lazy
I just can't wait to get back home
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear
And when the night falls in around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
'Cause all I think about is you
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear
And when the night falls in around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
Cause all i think about is you
Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for paths left lone
'Cause beyond every bend is a long blinding end
It's the worst kind of pain I've known
Give up your heart left broken
And let that mistake pass on
'Cause the love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost
And in time you'll be glad it's gone
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for sights unseen
May your love never end and if you need a friend,
There's a seat here alongside me
It is if everyone dies alone
Does that scare you?
I don't wanna be alone
I look for you
Every day, every night
I close my eyes
From the fear, from the light
As I wander down the avenue, so confused
Guess I'll try and force a smile
Pink lemonade sippin' on a Sunday
Couples holding hands on a runway
They're all posing in a picture frame
Whilst my world's crashing down
Solo shadow on a sidewalk
Just want somebody to die for
Sunshine livin' on a perfect day
While my world's crashing down
I just want somebody to die for
I long for you
Just a touch (does that scare you?)
Of your hand
You don't leave my mind
Lonely days, I'm feeling
Like a fool for dreaming
As I wander down the avenue, so confused
Guess I'll try and force a smile
Pink lemonade sippin' on a Sunday
Couples holding hands on a runway
They're all posing in a picture frame
Whilst my world's crashing down
Solo shadow on a sidewalk
Just want somebody to die for
Sunshine livin' on a perfect day
While my world's crashing down
I just want somebody to die for
I just want somebody to die for (to die for)
I just want somebody to die for
(Does that scare you?)
(I don't wanna be alone)
Pink lemonade sippin' on a Sunday
Couples holding hands on a runway (oh)
They're all posing in a picture frame
Whilst my world's crashing down
Solo shadow on a sidewalk
Just want somebody to die for
Sunshine livin' on a perfect day
While my world's crashing down
I just want somebody to die for
I just want somebody to die for (to die for)
I was listenin' to the ocean
I saw a face in the sand
But when I picked it up
Then it vanished away from my hands, dah
I had a dream I was seven
Climbin' my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waitin' in patience for me, dah
And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But no, take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
I was painting a picture
The picture was a painting of you
And for a moment I thought you were here
But then again, it wasn't true, dah
And all this time I have been lyin'
Oh, lyin' in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf
La-di-da
And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But no, take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
No, take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
But I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall
And I kept runnin' for a soft place to fall
And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?
But no, take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
No, take me home, home where I belong, no, no
No, take me home, home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
When your walls
Are caving in
And your world
Is wearing thin
If the waters
Far too deep
Find it hard
To breathe
Let me help you to
Believe again
Got nothing to fear
While I am here
It might not be obvious
But I'm strong enough for both of us
Let me carry you through anything
Got nothing to fear
While I am here
It might not be obvious
But don't forget there's two of us
Hold you tight
Through your doubts
You'll be fine
This I vow
When your world
Is crashing down
Might be hard
To trust again
If one else
Is listening
I'll be here
Through everything
Hold you tight
Through your doubts
You'll be fine
This I vow
Where you go
I go too
By your side
This I vow
