Nobody ever had a dream 'round here
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me Nobody ever pulls the seams 'round here But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me I've got this energy beneath my feet Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me I've got this sentimental heart that beats But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now "Why do you waste my time?" Is the answer to the question on your mind And I'm sick of all my judges They're so scared of what they'll find But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then Oh, have you ever seen the lights? Have you ever seen the lights? I took a shuttle on a shock-wave ride Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolade I took a bullet and I looked inside And running through my veins an American masquerade I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake Got never really known anybody to die before Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake My brother, he was born on the Fourth of July, and that's all "So why do you waste my time?" Is the answer to the question on your mind And I'm sick of all my judges They're so scared of letting me shine But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then Every now and then You know, I see London, I see Sam's Town Holds my hand and lets my hair down Rolls that world right off my shoulder I see London, I see Sam's Town now |

You sit there in your, heartache
Waitin' on some beautiful boy to To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness, watch it now, here he comes He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But he, talks like a gentleman Like you imagined when you, were young Can we climb this mountain, I don't know Higher now than ever before I, know we can make it if we take it slow Let's take it easy, easy now, watch it go We're burnin' down the highway skyline On the back of a hurricane, that started turnin' When you, were young When you, were young And sometimes you close your eyes And see the place where you used to live When you, were young They say the Devil's water, it ain't so sweet You don't have to drink right now But you can dip your feet Every once in a, little while Woo! (Send me) (Oh) You sit there in your, heartache Waitin' on some beautiful boy to To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness, watch it now, here he come He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But he, talks like a gentleman Like you imagined when you, were young (Talks like a gentleman) (Like you imagined when) When you, were young I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But more than you'll ever know |

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live It's not so bad, it's not so bad How do you know that you're right? I awoke on the roadside In the land of the free ride And I can't pull it any longer The sun is beating down my neck So I ran with the devil Left a trail of excuses Like a stone on the water The elements decide my fate Watch it go (Bling) When I offer you survival You say it's hard enough to live Don't tell me that it's over Stand up, poor and tired but more than this How do you know that you're right If you're not nervous anymore? It's not so bad, it's not so bad I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus But I'm pushing on for that horizon I'm pushing on Now I've got that blowing wind against my face So you sling rocks at the riptide Am I wrong or am I right? I hit the bottom with a huh Quite strange, I get my glory in the desert rain Watch it go (I offer you survival!) When I offer you survival You say it's hard enough to live And I'll tell you when it's over Shut up poor and tired but more than this How do you know that you're right If you're not nervous anymore? It's not so bad, it's not so bad Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it Out of the fire Higher and higher Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it Out of the fire Higher and higher Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it out Whoa, higher and higher It ain't hard to hold When it shines like gold You'll remember me |

I pack my case
I check my face I look a little bit older I look a little bit colder With one deep breath And one big step I move a little bit closer I move a little bit closer For reasons unknown I caught my stride I flew and flied I know if destiny's kind I've got the rest of my mind But my heart, it don't beat It don't beat the way it used to And my eyes, they don't see you no more And my lips, they don't kiss They don't kiss the way they used to And my eyes don't recognize you no more For reasons unknown For reasons unknown There was an open chair We sat down in The open chair I said, if destiny's kind I've got the rest of my mind But my heart, it don't beat It don't beat the way it used to And my eyes, they don't see you no more And my lips, they don't kiss They don't kiss the way they used to And my eyes don't recognize you, at all For reasons unknown For reasons unknown See, my heart, it don't beat It don't beat the way it used to And my eyes don't recognize you no more And my lips, they don't kiss They don't kiss the way they used to And my eyes don't recognize you no more For reasons unknown For reasons unknown For reasons unknown For reasons unknown |

On the corner of Main Street
Just tryin' to keep it in line You say you wanna move on and You say I'm falling behind Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? I never really gave up on Breakin' out of this two-star town I got the green light, I got a little fight I'm gonna turn this thing around Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? The good old days, the honest man The restless heart, the Promised Land A subtle kiss that no one sees A broken wrist and a big trapeze Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you go Can you read my mind? It's funny how you just break down Waitin' on some sign I pull up to the front of your driveway With magic soakin' my spine Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? The teenage queen, the loaded gun The drop-dead dream, the Chosen One A Southern drawl, a world unseen A city wall and a trampoline Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you go Tell me what you find Can you read my mind? Slippin' in my faith until I fall He never returned that call Woman, open the door, don't let it sting I wanna breathe that fire again She said, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Put your back on me Oh, put your back on me Oh, put your back on me The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun Can you read my mind? |

(Come with me)
We took a back road, we're gonna look at the stars We took a back road in my car Down to the ocean, it's only water and sand And in the ocean, we'll hold hands But I don't really like you Apologetically dressed in the best Put on a heartbeat glide Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky And on the cold, wet dirt I cry And on the cold, wet dirt I cry Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones On your bones? It's only natural This cinematic vision ensues Like the holiest dream There's someone calling, an angel whispers my name But the message relayed is the same (Wait 'til tomorrow you'll be fine) But it's gone to the dogs in my mind Always hear them when the dead of night Comes calling to save me from this fight But they can never wrong this right Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones On your bones? It's only natural Don't you wanna swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin On your skin? It's only natural (Never had a lover) I never had a lover (Never had soul) I never had soul (Never had a good time) And I never had a good time (Never got bold) I never got bold Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones On your bones? It's only natural Don't you wanna swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin On your skin? It's only natural Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones On your bones? It's only natural Come and take a swim with me Don't you wanna feel my skin On your skin? It's only natural |

Let me wrap myself around you
Let you show me how I see And when you come back in from nowhere Do you ever think of me? Your heart Is not able Let me show you, how much I care I need those eyes to tide me over I'll take your picture when I go Gives me strength and gives me patience But I'll never let you know I got nothing on you, baby But I always said I'd try Let me show you how much I care Sometimes it gets hard Don't you know? Don't give the ghost up Just clench your fist You shoulda known by now You were on my list Don't give the ghost up Just clench your fist You shoulda known by now You were on my list Don't give the ghost up Just clench your fist You shoulda known by now You were on my list When your heart Is not able And your prayers They're not fables Let me show you (let me show you) Let me show you (let me show you) Let me show you how much I care |

Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red He said the leaves are fallin' down, such a beautiful sound Son, I think you'd better go ahead But you always hold your head up high 'Cause it's a long, long, long way down This town was meant for passing through Boy, it ain't nothin' new Now go and show 'em that the world stayed round But it's a long, long, long way down You better run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world, don't watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go Or should I just get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else I've been tryin' hard to do what's right But, you know, I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky This river is wild This river is wild Run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world, don't watch it turn But shake a little sometimes I'm nervous when I talk I shake a little Sometimes I hate the line I walk I just wanna show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go Or should I just get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else I've been trying hard to do what's right But, you know, I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky Because this river is wild Godspeed ya, boy This river is wild Now Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his mom Because that bitch keeps tryin' to make him pray He's with the hippie in the park coming over the dark Just tryin' to get some of that little girl-play You better run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world, don't watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go Or should I get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else I've been tryin' hard to do what's right But, you know, I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky The pain is hell in me tonight Because this river is wild Godspeed ya, boy This river is wild This river is wild Godspeed ya, boy This river is wild Now the cars are everywhere Raisin' dust at the fairground I don't think I ever seen so many headlights But there's somethin' pullin' me The circus and the crew Well, they're just passin' through Makin' sure the merry still goes round But it's a long, long, long way down |

There's a plane and I am flying
There's a mountain waiting for me Oh, these years have been so trying I don't know if I can use them Am I strong enough to be the one? (Am I strong enough to be the one?) Will I live to have some children? (Children) Help me get down I can make it, help me get down Help me get down I can make it, help me get down If I only knew the answer I wouldn't be bothering you, Father Help me get down I can make it, help me get down Help me get down I can make it, help me get down If I only knew the answer And if all our days are numbered Then why do I keep counting? My sugar sweet is so attainable This behaviour so unexplainable The days just slip and slide Like they always did The trouble is my head Won't let me forget I took one last good look around (So many unusual sounds) I gotta get my feet on the ground Help me get down I can make it, oh Help me get down I can make it, help me get down Help me get down I can make it, help me get down If I only knew the answer I wouldn't be bothering you, Father Help me get down I can make it, help me get down Help me get down I can make it, help me get down If I only knew the answer And if all our days are numbered Would you help me get down? (Help me get down) (I can make it, help me get down) (Help me get down) (I can make it, help me get down) If I only knew the answer If I change my way of living And if I pave my streets with good times Will the mountain keep on giving? And if all of our days are numbered Then why do I keep counting? |
