She Could Tell

Once had a girl she knew, she knew me well
I painted my face oh boy, oh boy she could tell
I watched you carving our names, our names in that old tree
It was quite clear that you weren't, no you weren't thinking much of me
Ooooh
Take me down to the river
But don't wash away my sin
Now I am, I am, I am stuck so tight
Don't wanna wake up, I don't wanna, I don't wanna see the brutal light
I'll write you letters that you will, that you will never read
But I'm scared to see you 'cause my mouth, it'll open but I will not speak
Ooooh
Take me down to the river
But don't wash away my sin
Take me down to the river
But don't tell me where I've been
Why'd you leave me there? In the dark, so unaware

Who Ya Foolin'

You, you don't ever change
You just cut your hair and say you're strange
You, you don't ever try
You just read my poems and say you cried
I find myself getting all worked up
I'm waiting on the line and you won't pick up
Baby don't you think you've had enough?
Nobody ever told you that you can't just run away
Come on who ya foolin', here dear?
You wanna write a fuckin' love song but don't want no one to hear
Oh come on, come on, come on
Who ya foolin' here?
I'm sick of saying goodbye
If you wanna go, why don't you let it die?
You, you're just using me
I'm a punching bag and you're light on your feet
I find myself getting all worked up
I'm waiting on the line and you won't pick up
Baby don't you think you've had enough?
Nobody ever told you that you can't just run away
Come on who ya foolin', here dear?
You wanna write a fuckin' love song but don't want no one to hear
Oh come on, come on, come on
Who ya foolin' here

City of Ghosts

I'm walking in a city of ghosts
It don't matter where I go
This city is haunted or maybe it's just me
There's no more strangers just wrong decisions made
And oooh I don't wanna hurt like this no more
Surviving just to keep score
'Cause there's no winning, no, with that death rattle roar
I watch it burn, lay the gold on my eyes
It's a funny thing watching something die
It's kiss was sweet but left a bitter taste
The kiss of death has now been that of grace
A ghost and ashes left in my place
And oooh I don't wanna hurt like this no more
Surviving just to keep score
'Cause there's no winning, no, with that death rattle roar
There's a million ways you can't get lost at night
There's a million ways to crash and burn out of sight
And oooh I don't wanna hurt like this no more
Surviving just to keep score
'Cause there's no winning, no, with that death rattle roar

A Monday in May
04:04
|
|||
|
The rain soaked us through
Should've been freezing, honest words kept us warm
The river ran in silence
The birds above knew nothing of the changes below
It's kind of funny how we always change
But your blue eyes, they stay the same
And you're heading East
And I'll always remember
A Monday in May
I'll never forget
A Monday in May
Never thought I'd sit here
Past met present but they're never strangers
Friends embraced
Walked out of the trees smiling about being able to talk
Walked out of the trees
It's kind of funny how we always change
But your blue eyes, they stay the same
And you're heading East
And I'll always remember
A Monday in May
I'll never forget
A Monday in May

I don't know what's going on here
We will find out another morning
They keep telling me, "Just let go, it's not clear."
"Just let go, it's not clear."
It's true
There are a lot of things we can't see through
But I'd rather be scared with you
Ooooh
Your bright eyes keep me awake when I should be sleeping
I stood next to fate and I asked what he was drinking
I asked what he was drinking
It's true
There a lot of things we can't see through
But I'd rather be scared with you
I'd rather be scared with you
Ooooh
