Cigarettes and gasoline Morning seas they call to me Pulling line in the early light Being seventeen Good things, good things
Far away from the painted doors The town where I was born Where my heroes came before me And the crowds called out for more Good things, good things
I am trolling the ocean For the soul of my father Heavy sand kicks water And makes like a ghost He's waiting for me He's waiting for me
Holding in and letting go Freezing hands and coffee burns Steering straight in a heavy tide All these things I've learned Good things, good things
I am trolling the ocean For the soul of my father Heavy sand kicks water And makes like a ghost He's waiting for me He's waiting for me
Cigarettes and gasoline Morning seas they call to me I'm pulling line in the early light Being seventeen Good things, good things Good things, good things
How I love to be the chain How I love to say your name How I wanna be the one you run to How I wanna see this through
How I love to be the risk And the wrinkles in your fist How I love to be the one you need How I love to watch it bleed
When will you learn just to give me What I want, what I want When will you learn to let it show
How I wanna be the eye As it watches in the sky How I thought it was a reason call How I love to risk it all
How I love to be the twist How I wanna live through this Swinging wildly from a hand you hold How I love to be that bold
When will you learn just to give me What I want, what I want When will you learn to let it show What you didn't see comin When will you learn just to give me What I want, what I want When will you learn to let it show
When will you learn just to give me What I want, what I want When will you learn to let it show
You got your pieces And you got your pawns You got devastation hands And a life that leads like insanity What you need is you need A little something that will take the edge off Just a little a push to get you to the ledge You can jump it from And when you're jumping Only you would ever know again
You live for love But the love's all gone Surround yourself with genius But the meanness is enough to kill someone So you learn what you learn You drink your blessings And you take your pills You look for something better But you've lost your will to save yourself So the hurt keeps coming
Only you would ever know who was your friend
I know What you need You need someone to help you tonight
Only when you're here can I feel like this When I put my arms around you Only when you smile does it hurt like this Just let somebody love you
How long can we wait here To say goodbye? The words once they're spoken Are words that we can't take
Back to where we were, before Things got in the way Life gets so confusing When you know what you're losing
You Me Why can't we see that there's More to love than we'll ever know Sometimes you're closer when you're Letting go I wish the best for you I wish the best for you
We'll both regret the hurting That we will do You'll learn to forget me And I'll try I'll try to forget...
You Me Why can't we see that there's More to love than we'll ever know Sometimes you're closer when you're Letting go I wish the best for you I wish the best
If you ever need a place that you can run to I'll be here, I'll be here
You Me Why can't we see that there's More to love than we'll ever know Sometimes you're closer when you're Letting go I wish the best for you I wish the best for you
You'd never admit, you played a part In ripping us both in two It's easier said, when it's ordinary life that got to you Was it a waste of time to pull the line again Now that it's gone Now you're looking at your past like a broken glass Puzzle from mistakes that you made
And I know, yes I know, yes I know Yes I know, yes I know that you want this And I know, yes I know, yes I know Yes I know, yes I know that you still care
It's never enough, it's never done The way that you want it to It's easy to walk when you run from all the years they stole from you Was it a waste of time to pull the line again Now that it's gone So now you're looking at your past like a broken glass Puzzle of mistakes that you made
And I know, yes I know, yes I know Yes I know, yes I know that you want this And I know, yes I know, yes I know Yes I know, yes I know that you still care
But when will you learn to make this over Cause there's no harder life that I could lead Than when I am with you
So you're looking at your past through a broken glass Puzzle of mistakes that you made
And I know, yes I know, yes I know Yes I know, yes I know that you want this And I know, yes I know, yes I know Yes I know, yes I know that you still care
But when will you learn to make this over Cause there's no harder life that I could lead Than when I am with you When will you learn to make this over Cause it's alright, it's okay Just don't say that you love me if I'm just some mistake you made
How did I become responsible Without ever taking responsibility How did we become so ugly Without ever changing anything

And how did you come to find me here Twist the line, jump the rut to build again And how did I become the smoking gun Without ever loading anyone

From a friend to a stranger, how's your life In your current situation Did they hold you hostage, did they tell you lies? Just to add to your frustration Oh, my heart
So you drown the whole day, in your troubled heart On the road to change your life Not to give it all away, but to sing your song ‘Cause in the end, that's where you arrive Oh, my heart it breaks me When I hear them callin' me Oh, to see inside myself A guy can see that no one else could ever know The way we'd end up please
So from a friend to a stranger, how's your life In your current situation Wish you happiness and freedom, and I wish you life When you reach your destination Your destination Your destination
Somebody cried the death of culture Somebody spit in a little boy's face Somebody said you robbed my homeland Somebody got the wrong impression
So we came across the water From the shores of the isle of green Speaking separate tongues In the death of culture
Somebody said you stole my language Some people will say anything Somebody said you robbed my heritage Some people will believe anything Somebody said you always spoke English Somebody got the wrong impression
So we came across the water From the shores of the isle of green Speaking separate tongues In the death of culture It was the death of culture It was the death of culture
Bhi machree Ohin trasna na farraige Bhi machree Ohin trasna na farraige
So we came across the water From the shores of the isle of green So we came across the water Speaking seperate tongues In the death of culture
You killed me when you came walking down the sidewalk Saying everything was fine Dressed up like a wife of a life I'll never have It's so easy to fool me You can turn me on You can turn me off I've had enough of that little boy sandbox stuff Love you wanted to try For a life you're willing to buy I Knock down walls for you Cause I need you You always grab a hold of the ones you know you can change Just a group of loner zeros who will play your game Something tells them that their luck is gonna change Round and round you drag them down So don't tell me I've gone crazy You're the one who's trying to fuckin change me I Knock down walls for you Cause I need you I Knock down walls for you Cause I want you Hurt me, break me make me fall Crush my heart force me to crawl Show me love is never real The wait is worth the pain you feel Life you wanted to try For a love you're willing to buy I Knock down walls for you Cause I need you I Knock down walls for you Cause I need you I knock down walls for you I Need you
Me and my old man Don't see eye to eye We take our walks outside Underneath the birch trees
He said I think it's gonna freeze this year I said I gotta get away from here Me and my old man Me and my old man
Should have been enough to know That you'd let us all down Could have been enough to try Without making a sound It's all part of the plan my dear It's all part of the plan my dear
So we walked along the mending walls Laid beneath the tortured talls And we sang a song of newfound cheer Laughed at the passing years Yeah we talked about things to come Talked about the battles won He said I think it's gonna freeze this year I said I gotta get away from here
Should have been enough to know That you'd let us all down Could have been enough to try Could have been enough to try Oh I've been such a fool Spent my life waiting for you Through these trees I see With my father's eyes I realize the weight
Should have been enough to know That you'd let us all down Could have been enough to try Without making a sound It's all part of the plan my dear It's all part of the plan my dear It's all part of the plan my dear
Between me and my old man Gotta get away from here Gotta get away from here
Holding lightly Words that make you aware Your head's spinning No one knows you're not there Blankly staring Strangers call you a friend The power you hold Is a power that mends
You can't go on No you can't even talk Your future says run But you can't even walk
So you harbor Standing idly by Indescretions, slowly turn into lies Your're half empty They don't know how it feels The power inside Is a power that heals
But You can't go on No you can't even talk Your future says run But you can't even walk
I wish I'd seen you as a little girl Without your armor to fend off the world I would have kept you underneath my wing I would protect you from everything Make way for the lemon parade Make way for my girl Make way for the lemon parade Make way for my girl Did the boys all tease you when they had the chance Always left standing when it came time to dance Did you hide behind your books girl Did you find your secret friends Always I'll want you Always 'till the end Make way for the lemon parade Make way for my girl Make way for the lemon parade Make way for my girl
All I want is to be your sunflower To watch over you from up high When the wind blows I will kiss you like sunshine Stealing pieces from a perfect sky Because here you go again Because here you go again And they say that it really doesn't matter Anyway That it really doesn't matter Anyway I'm not asking to be more than your lover I'm not asing to be more than a friend I'm not asking anything that I shouldn't To bring everything we know to an end Because here you go again Because here you go again (Chorus) Cause here you go And I wanted to be your lover But your pushing me under cover I wanted to be your lover But you're pushing me down Pushing me down Under cover, yeah Because here you go again And they say that it really doesn't matter Anyway That it really doesn't matter Anyway And they say that it really doesn't matter Anyway That it really doesn't matter Anyway Mmmmmm
Big wings And small waters Carry me back home Small minds Stand protected under bigot sunshine I'm not alone But I'm far from home You can never go home again You can never go home again
Main street Standing naked on the Fourth of July Down stream All the maniacs on my face they spy
I'm not alone But I'm far from home You can never go home again You can never go home again You can never act the way that you did back then
I'm not alone But I'm far from home You can never go home again You can never go home again You can never act the way that you did back then You can never act the way that you did back then When you were just a little boy
