from Alejandro Escovedo - With These Hands (2006)
Sometimes I come home,
I don't expect too much
The lights are off now
It's only two
How I wish my breath
It didn't hurt so much
Then you'd be up babe
It's only two
Why don't you sleep?
You look as though you need it
The barricades and reasons
They mean nothing to me
Now they mean nothing to me
Well all my friends they laughed,
They laughed at all my jokes
I got one more story,
It's only two
How I wish my tough
Could erase the past
They you'd be up babe
It's only two
Why don't you drink
You look as though you need one
The barricades and reasons
They mean nothing to me,
No, they mean nothing to me
If these were different times
Then you'd be up,
And we'd trade stories
It's only two
Why don't we pretend?
I's all we have between us
The barricades and reasons
They mean nothing to me, now
Why don't you sleep?
You look as though we need it
The barricades and reasons
They mean nothing to me,
Now they mean nothing to me

from Por Vida (2005)
If you could see you
The way that I see you
The way I perceive you
No, I never came to deceive you
Or sit high above you
Or lock doors behind you
But only to love you
Inside the refrain
But I just might break this time
Mothers and fathers
They don't have all the answers
Can't see past the chain link
They laid on the line
So break another picture
Yeah, or better yet sit there
Inside the stillness
Yeah, this time
But I just might break this time
Yeah this time
Whoever told you
There'd be no danger
Nothing to fear here
Yeah in this house of pain
So speak to me softly
Yeah and tell me you love me
And we'll join together
Inside the refrain
But I just might break this time
Yeah I just might break this time
I just might break this time
Oh this time
Yeah this time
This time

I?ve always loved your love
In and out Up and down
If your love is a ship
I pull your anchor and I Christen it
I?m in love with love
(I?m in love)
And it broke me in two
(in two)
I?m in love with love
Look out baby, It?s gonna break you too
I?d pull your ship across the ocean wide
Hold my breath
And dive dive dive
If they held me at the bottom
Then asked me why
I?d open my mouth and I?d tell em why ?cause
I?m in love with love
(I?m in love)
And it broke me in two
(in two)
I?m in love with love
So look out baby, It?s gonna break you too
We?re huddled up on benches
We?re saying our prayers
Two lovers in the mist
With the salt in their hair
I?m in love I?m in love
And it broke me in two
I?m in love I?m in love
It?s gonna break you too
Yes it will
The waves are breaking in a foreign tongue
Understand but I?m feeling numb.
If your love was a ship
I?d pull your anchor and hang on to it
I?m in love with love
(I?m in love)
And it broke me in two
(in two)
I?m in love with love
So look out baby
It?s gonna break you too
I?m in love with love
(I?m in love)
And it broke me in two
(In two)
I?m in love with love
So look out baby
It?s gonna break you too
Oh I?m feelin love
I?m feeling the love babe
Yeah, I?m feeling love

i feel/ i feel like i am fallin/
and it feels/ it feels like its ok/
everythings so strange/
my body doesnt feel the same/
its all i want/ is to fall apart with you/
i first met you/ i first met you outside of phoenix/
it was a foolish/ a foolish august moon/
she said her first love was her last/
so she cries when she hears jonny cash/
its all she wants/ is to fall apart with me/
all i want/ is to fall apart with you/
all i want/ is to fall apart with you/
we aint nothin/ we aint nothin/
but we are somethin/
and theres no one/ could ever make us feel so bad/
we know that nothin ever lasts/
so we cry when we hear jonny cash/
its all i want/ is to fall apart with you/
all i want/ is to fall apart with you/ X4

Line up your little bottles
In a tight little row
Then try to sip some courage
Through a rusted straw
You're convinced she wants you,
And you will have your way,
Then why did you ignore her?
While the Diva sat upon your knee
You're not a man, you're just a fool
The odds are good
You ain't got what it takes
You're wrapped in so much pain
And we should pity that
Why don't you write her a poem,
Or better yet a song or two
I'm sure she'll be quite taken
Paint a monument upon her back
That you can see as she walks away
An impression that you can't forget
An unexpected visit means more to you than her
The years have played some cruel tricks it seems
She's not reacting like you thought she would
Oh wasted, wasted, wasted
You're acting like a fool
The floor belongs to you, it's yours
That's an image that she can't forget

Dear Head on the wall
Look until you're too simple
And the softness of knowing hurts
And the softness of knowing hurts
Dear Head on the wall
Afraid to mention the deaths
That I can't stuff into my mouth
That I can't stuff into my mouth
All the longing that is
A pity pretty pin
A pity pretty pin
And the sadness will come
When there is no one
Dear Head on the wall
Forget what we already know
Hang a picture of your heart
Bandaged in surgeon's bowl
Opened up to it all
A pity pretty pin
A pity pretty pin
