I couldn't believe my eyes
when I woke up next to you
in a land of winding roads
almost heaven
leaves were golden
people smoking
trees were closing in
the mountains had been raised to the ground
but I lay next to you on the floor
as the world came crashing down
and I felt alive again
the veil was lifted from our eyes
the lives we thought we wanted fell behind
the lives we thought we wanted fell behind
now I don't know where I'm going to
but I think you do, so
I'll follow you

pretty for you

I wish I'd done something wrong to deserve this
Cuz right now I'm sitting in a bedroom
About a thousand miles away
Watching your face on a screen telling me
That I'm an angel, I'm perfect
And it pains you to hurt me,
But it's over babe
Tears streaming down your face
And I'm thinking of the day
We drew our names on a silo
We got it down in writing cuz
I knew one day I'd look back and wonder
If you'd ever really loved me at all
There were times you would get real quiet
I'd want to know what was on your mind but
You'd say there's nothing there at all
You were thinking of her
The one that wrecked your heart
I want to be like her
I never would have let you go
I never would have let you go
But you let go of me
Yeah you let go of me
Now we live in the same city
But I don't try to look pretty for you
Now we live in the same city
But I don't try to look pretty for you

alright, you win

I heard it's a right of passage
to want you for my own
but that is never gonna happen
and so I say
alright, okay, you win
I'm in love with you
alright, okay, you win
what can I do
you don't have the time
and your baby thinks you're fine
and so I'll go my own way
there was a moment in time
you were really really sweet to me
and darling I could only cry
for what would never be
alright, okay, you win
I'm in love with you
alright, okay, you win
baby what can I do
don't think I didn't know
every movement you made was for me
you played my heart so perfectly
alright, okay, you win
I'm in love with you
alright, okay, you win
baby what can I do
alright, okay, you win
alright, okay, you win
baby what can I do

I think of all the new years eves
we spent taking shots
in the basement of a house
of a guy we didn't even really like
but the thrill of it all
brought us back for more
being young is overrated
we'd give up all the world
all the world just to be
adored
by the boys
and the girls
and everybody else too
every party's life or death
in the morning we dissect
any remaining memory from the night before
being young is liberating
we'd give up all the world
all the world just to be
adored
by the boys
and the girls
and everybody else too
by the boys
and the girls
and everybody else too
now I do
whatever I want to do
with the boys
and the girls
and everybody else too

you texted my phone
come down to the only gay bar in town
it's close to you home and I'll
pay the five dollar cover charge
we met in a hallway
in the first year of university
we slept in the hallway
to stick up to the man
now I hold your hand
you are the first girlfriend I've ever had
you get on with my dad and he
says it's good to have a lawyer in the family

blue eyed girl

you draw constellations to connect
my freckles as we lie in your bed
I picture all the shapes of your body wrapped in mine
from overhead
my blue eyed girl, you know
the stars could shine as bright as you
my blue eyed girl
you call me eyelashes
I make you nervous
just by wearing mascara
you blush and look down at the floor
my blue eyed girl
there's no one who makes me feel the way you do
my blue eyed girl
stars were hidden by the heat
we left our clothes up on the bank
waded into the dark that summer night
hand in hand, side by side
when will this not be enough?
when will this not be enough?
my blue eyed girl
there's no one who makes me feel the way you do

summertime
03:31
|

|
he gave me my name in a heat wave
fan circled low above our heads
his hand traced the outline of my cheekbone while we
filled the space of my twin bed
I'd had this conversation
a thousand times in my head
but I still couldn't quite find the words to tell him
all the different people that I've been
like that summer I felt knew
walked the streets in my red shoes
til the flames lit up my eyes
and the demons filled my mind
yeah the demons filled my
he held my body close
called me an angel
never let me go
but I left for the summertime
and that's on me
yeah that's on me
a few months on and I hear his words again
they remind of the way he traded in
his angel for a ghost of his
past life, long ago
well the fall from heaven's long
and I don't think that I can be strong
so I'll hide myself behind a satin sheet
cuz he can't reject what he can't see
no he can't reject what he can't
he held my body close
called me an angel
never let me go
but I left for the summertime
and that's on me
yeah that's on me
he held my body close
called me an angel
never let me go
but I left for the summertime
and that's on me
yeah that's on me

will I linger on your mind?
do you now regret the time
that you took my hand
and stroked my auburn hair?
cuz coming is the day
that I will fly
but the thought of coming home to you
makes everything ok
was it the West Virginia skies
or your cigarette stained smile
that stole the broken strings
out of my heart?
that night was so damn cold
but you were there to hold me til the day
and when the sun came out
everything was ok
how do I make time pass slow
so each second we spend together
will last forever before I go?
I love you
those three little words
so easy to say
until they come true
well they say "you'll be alright"
but they weren't there that night
that we waited on your stairs
til half past four
with laurels made of ivy
we were dazed and lively
and we laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed
and everything was ok
why'd you make me regret the day
I chose to leave
you know I can't stay
too long I've been home
I've got to go
If I've learned just one thing
it's heartbreak and it's pain
but I'd do it all again
yes, that I know
if I return with space us
let's go back to the mountains cuz
that's where we seem to fall in love
and make it all ok
how do I make time pass slow
so each second we spend together
will last forever before I go?
I love you
those three damn words
I should have said
a long, long time
a long, long time ago
