Now this might be a mistake
That I'm calling you this late
But these dreams I have of you ain't real enough
Started bringing up the past
How the things you love don't last
Even though this isn't fair for both of us
Ooh-ooh, maybe I'm just a fool
I still belong with you
Anywhere you, anywhere you are
Ooh-ooh, these minefields that I walk through
Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you
Ooh-ooh, these minefields keeping me from you
Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you
Close to you-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I didn't notice what I lost
Until all the lights were off
And not knowing what you're up to tortured me
Now this might be a mistake
We're broken in so many ways
But I piece us back together slowly
Ooh-ooh, maybe I'm just a fool
I still belong with you
Anywhere you, anywhere you are
Ooh-ooh, these minefields that I walk through
Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you
Ooh-ooh, these minefields keeping me from you
Whoa, what I risk to be close to you
Close to you-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (to be close to you)
Close to you-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (to you, to you)
Now this might be a mistake
That I'm calling you this late
But these dreams I have of you ain't real enough
I wanna want you, I wanna stay here like this
I wanna feel it all every time that we kiss
I want your mother to stay friends with mine
I want this feeling to pass in time
But you know my body now and I know yours
We put so many things between these walls
And every gift you buy me, I know what's inside
What do I do now? There’s nothing left to find
[Chorus]
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don’t know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
[Verse 2]
What if I cleaned up? What if I worked on my skin?
I could scrub until I am red, hot, weak, and thin
Too tired to run away, what do I do now?
There's nothing left to say
[Chorus]
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
[Verse 3]
Into the darkness, or is it the light?
Should I be waking up, or finding a place to sleep tonight?
Who will I be
Now that you're no longer next to me?
[Chorus]
Don’t know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
........
I just wanna keep loving you
So far from who I was
From who I love
From who I want to be
So far from all our dreams
From all it means
From you here next to me
So far from seeing home
I stand out here alone
Am I asking for too much?
So far from being free
Of the past that's haunting me
The future I just can't touch
And if you take my hand
Please pull me from the dark
And show me hope again
We'll run side-by-side
No secrets left to hide
Sheltered from the pain
I know how to speak
And I know where I'm going
I wanted to seek
But I got distracted
It's a mirage
One that leaves me embarrassed
'Cause no one knows me like you
You know there's nothing left for ya
So I continually move
Try to pass it through for ya
Does that bore ya?
The past about pain
Is timeless and honest
So let go of your shame
It's a dead dampening blanket
It's a facade
Back and look at your training
There's nobody else like you
I think I finally explained it
So I continue to move
Between the bank and the blanket
Don't fake it
I, I'm really gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul
I, I'm really gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul
I want your name
Burnt in my ceiling
Floats like a flame
An unpredictable wonder
You gave it all hope
And all the of this is a circle
There's nobody else like you
So many that came before you
This is the moment I choose
Between the hope and the hardest, so be honest
I'm really gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul
I'm really gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul
Yah, you never said a word
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you
See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you
Yah, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair will be grey
Don't think I could forgive you
And see the children are starving
And their houses were destroyed
Don't think they could forgive you
Hey, when seas will cover lands
And when men will be no more
Don't think you can forgive you
Yah when there'll just be silence
And when life will be over
Don't think you will forgive you
Yah, you never said a word
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you
See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you
Yah, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair will be grey
Don't think I could forgive you
And see the children are starving
And their houses were destroyed
Don't think they could forgive you
Hey, when seas will cover lands
And when men will be no more
Don't think you can forgive you
Yah when there'll just be silence
And when life will be over
Don't think you will forgive you
Oh, oh, I'm gonna use every heartbeat
Oh, oh, today not tomorrow
Oh, oh, I'm diving in so deep
Oh, oh, far from the shallows
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm all about headlights
Blinded by, blinded by headlights
Running in, running in the headlights
Light me up, light me up, headlights
Baby, I'm all about headlights
Blinded by, blinded by headlights
Running in, running in the headlights
Light me up, light me up, headlights
[Drop]
Baby, I'm all about headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
Baby, I'm all about headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
Hela, hеla, headlights
[Verse 2]
Oh, oh, I got a taste of the good lifе
Oh, oh, I'll never let it go
A wild cat gotta use all my nine lives
Oh, oh, I'm gonna do it all
[Bridge]
And oh, I'm tipping on the edge
And oh, I don't wanna be saved
And oh, don't you pull a breaks
And oh, just take me all the way
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm all about headlights
Blinded by, blinded by headlights
Running in, running in the headlights
Light me up, light me up, headlights
Baby, I'm all about headlights
Blinded by, blinded by headlights
Running in, running in the headlights
Light me up, light me up, headlights
[Drop]
Baby, I'm all about headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
Baby, I'm all about headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
Hela, hela, headlights
[Outro]
Oh, oh, I got a taste of the good life
Oh, oh, I'll never let it go
Keep me here
My heart is near
My love has gone away
Tell me true
My heart is new
My love has gone away
It's okay
I know someday I'm gonna be with you
It's okay
I know someday I'm gonna be with you
Speak to me
My heart is free
My love has gone away
Tell me true
My heart is blue
My love has gone away
It's okay
I know someday I'm gonna be with you
It's okay
I know someday I'm gonna be with you
It's okay
I know someday I'm gonna be with you
I don't want to blame
I just want to leave this horrid place the way I came
But here we are again
I don't want to wait
For another wave to come and rule another day
I don't want to stay
I just want to wash away this vile and awful taste
But here we are again
Got nothing more to say
Only want to leave it and not seek for it again
And I'll be an island
And the shore where I stand
Can't be reached by more than waves
I told my sharks
That I need an island
For I know the violence
And I'll make the same mistakes
Again
I don't want a flame
I don't want to risk a fire that leaves a toxic waste
But here we are again
And I don't want to play
Only want to breathe again
Be free and let it end
And I'll be an island
And the shore where I stand
Can't be reached by more than waves
I told my sharks
And I need an island
If it turns to violence
Then I swear I'll drift away
I cross my heart
All will in time mend
When the moment is right will the feeling die
Who am I inside then
When I know when I fight all I want is hide and
And I'll be an island
And the shore where I stand
Can't be reached by more than waves
I told my sharks
That I need an island
If it turns to violence
Then I swear I'll drift away
I cross my heart
I know my heart
I sold my heart
I don't want to blame
I just want to leave this horrid place the way I came
But here we are again
18 years old, full of hate
They shipped me off in a motorcade
They said, "Boy, you're gonna fight a war
You don't even know what you're fighting for"
I lost friends in the August heat
At night it was God I'd always meet
I said, "Lord, won't you bring me home?
I've got women in the west I wanna hold"
I lost you in a waiting room
After sleepin' there for a week or two
Doctor said he did all he could
You were the last thing I had that was good
So I walked miles on the Tulsa streets
Light started beamin' in from the east
6 a.m. and fucked up again
Askin' God where the hell he'd been
He said the sun's gonna rise tomorrow
Somewhere on the east side of sorrow
You better pack your bags west
Stick out your chest, and then hit the road
The sun's gonna rise tomorrow
Somewhere on the east side of sorrow
Don't give it a reason to follow
Let it be, then let it go
Let it be, then let it go
Heard your brother lost his mind in the city last fall
Was it his blood, or his conscious, or the alcohol?
Did the Navy do him well or did he wind up sick
Like every other brave boy from these run down sticks?
Do you ever get tired of singin' songs
Like all your pain is just another fucking sing along?
If you ever get the time come on home
I heard Turnpike's back together and they're writin' songs
He said the sun's gonna rise tomorrow
Somewhere on the east side of sorrow
You better pack your bags west
Stick out your chest, and then hit the road
The sun's gonna rise tomorrow
Somewhere on the east side of sorrow
Don't give it a reason to follow
Let it be, then let it go
Let it be, then let it go
Telling myself I won't go there
Oh, but I know that I won't care
Tryna wash away all the blood I've spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share
Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt
There's darkness in the distance
From the way that I've been livin'
But I know I can't resist it
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin' all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Tellin' myself it's the last time
Can you spare any mercy that you might find
If I'm down on my knees again?
Deep down, way down, Lord, I try
Try to follow your light, but it's night time
Please, don't leave me in the end
There's darkness in the distance
I'm beggin' for forgiveness (ooh)
But I know I might resist it, oh
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin' all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin' all of our sins from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
From the daylight, runnin' from the daylight
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Rotgut whiskey's gonna ease my mind
Beach towel rests on the dryin' line
Do I remind you of your daddy in his '88 Ford?
Labrador hangin' out the passenger door
The sand from your hair is blowin' in my eyes
Blame it on the beach, grown men don't cry
Do you remember that beat down basement couch?
I'd sing you my love songs and you'd tell me about
How your mama ran off and pawned her ring
I remember, I remember everything
A cold shoulder at closing time
You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose
Strange words come on out
Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke
Pictures and passin' time
You only smile like that when you're drinking
I wish I didn't, but I do
Remember every moment on the nights with you
You're drinkin' everything to ease your mind
But when the hell are you gonna ease mine?
You're like concrete feet in the summer heat
It burns like hell when two souls meet
No, you'll never be the man that you always swore
But I'll remember you singin' in that '88 Ford
A cold shoulder at closing time
You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose
Strange words come on out
Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke
Pictures and passin' time
You only smile like that when you're drinking
I wish I didn't, but I do
Remember every moment on the nights with you
Cold shoulder at closing time
You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose
Strange words come on out
Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke
Pictures and passin' time
You only smile like that when you're drinking
I wish I didn't, but I do
Remember every moment on the nights with you
Rotgut whiskey's gonna ease my mind
Beach towel rests on the dryin' line
Do I remind you of your daddy in my '88 Ford?
Labrador hangin' out the passenger door
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know - It's been coming for some time
When it's over so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know shining down like water
And I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know - been that way for all my time
'till forever on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow
I know - and it can't stop I wonder (ah oh)
And I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day
And I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day (oh oh)
Booked a trip to Texas, thought I'd start again
Switched all my addresses and ghosted all my friends
Thought I could escape what I could not transcend
Found myself back in the same old place again
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I've come to realize after all this time
I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow
Maybe I'm the nexus, the common thread that binds
The problems in my head and the world that lives outside
I thought I could escape, but it's fate I've come to find
My devil is the devil that's inside
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I've come to realize after all this time
I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow
It won't ever let me go
It goes everywhere I go
It won't ever let me go
This shadow, this shadow of mine (shadow of mine)
We grapple, we battle, but we
Are shackled for eternity
We grapple, we battle
We're shackled, we're shackled, we're shackled
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Something that I've come to realize after all this time
I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow
It won't ever let me go
It goes everywhere I go
It won't ever let me go
This shadow, this shadow of mine (shadow of mine)
I spoke to God today and She said that She's ashamed
What have I become?
What have I done?
I spoke to the devil today and he swears he's not to blame
And I understood 'cause I feel the same
Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero and I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven and the righteous side of hell
The wrong side of Heaven and the righteous side
The righteous side of hell
I heard from God today and She sounded just like me
What have I done, and who have I become?
I saw the devil today and he looked a lot like me
I looked away, I turned away
Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero and I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven and the righteous side of hell
The wrong side of Heaven and the righteous side
The righteous side of hell
I'm not defending
Downward descending
Falling further and further away
Getting closer every day
I'm getting closer every day
To the end, to the end, the end, the end
I'm getting closer every day
Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero
And I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven and the righteous side of hell
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven and the righteous side of hell
The wrong side of Heaven and the righteous side
Righteous side of hell
Pass me that lovely little gun
My dear, my darling one
The cleaners are coming, one by one
You don’t even want to let them start
They are knocking now upon your door
They measure the room, they know the score
They’re mopping up the butcher’s floor
Of your broken little hearts
O children
Forgive us now for what we’ve done
It started out as a bit of fun
Here, take these before we run away
The keys to the gulag
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
They’re gathering round with all my friends
We’re older now, the light is dim
And you are only just beginning
O children
We have the answer to all your fears
It’s short, it’s simple, it’s crystal clear
It’s round about, it’s somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
The cleaners have done their job on you
They’re hip to it, man, they’re in the groove
They’ve hosed you down, you’re good as new
They’re lining up to inspect you
O children
Poor old Jim’s white as a ghost
He’s found the answer that was lost
We’re all weeping now, weeping because
There ain’t nothing we can do to protect you
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Hey little train!We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun
And the train ain’t even left the station
Hey, little train!Wait for me!
I once was blind but now I see
Have you left a seat for me?
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
Hey little train!Wait for me!
I was held in chains but now I’m free
I’m hanging in there, don’t you see
In this process of elimination
Hey little train!We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun
It’s beyond my wildest expectation
Hey little train!We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun
And the train ain’t even left the station
