Called Out Your Name
02:53
|
|||
|
Called out your name while I was sleeping
And I couldn’t explain, I could not erase it
I toss and turn, I get no relief
While somebody else lays there with me
Holding onto another man, well, I couldn’t help myself
Holding on for tomorrow night, where in dreams, I’ve got you
Oh, I’ve got you
I’ve got you
I’ve got you
Called out your name, did you hear me say it?
We had so much time, but you chose to waste it
Called out your name inside of a dream
Now my love is all gone, I’m setting you free
Holding onto another man, well, I couldn’t help myself
Holding on for tomorrow night, where in dreams, I’ve got
There is no use
In trying to forget you
I call out your name
Call out your name
Call out your name
Call out your name
Oh, I’ve got you
Oh, I’ve got you
Oh, I’ve got you
Oh, I’ve got you, got you

It's Over Now
03:27
|
|||
|
Gray concrete road whispers
Underneath the spinning wheels and autumn leaves
You were right, oh when your lips, so tight,
Said they would always love me
It's over now, ex-lover
Can’t figure it out
You can’t have what’s left
It's over now, ex-lover
You and me, we were a masterpiece
That never found a gallery
And if no one knows about the broader strokes
Then how can we be history?
It's over now, ex-lover
Can’t figure it out
You can’t have what’s left
It's over now, ex-lover
Ex-lover
Ex-lover
Ex-lover
You and me, we were a masterpiece
That never found a gallery
It's over now, ex-lover
Can’t figure it out
You can’t have what’s left
It's over now, ex-lover
Ex-lover
Ex-lover
Ex-lover

Empty House
03:01
|
|||
|
You’re my midnight snack
My morning glory
Baby, without you, I’m in purgatory
A big newspaper without a story
Chasing headlines down
I’ve been wafer thin
I’ve been waiting ages
You’re the ink and I’m the pages
All I really want to say is
Please don’t leave me now
When you’re gone, I’m up for rent
I am an empty house again
When you’re gone, I’ve got nothing left
I am an empty house again
Take my car and half my wages
Take me to your favourite places
Hold me in those long embraces
That I can’t do without
You’re my midnight snack
And my morning glory
Baby, without you, I’m in purgatory
A big newspaper without a story
Chasing headlines down
When you’re gone, I’m up for rent
I am an empty house again
When you’re gone, I’ve got nothing left
I am an empty house again

Love You So
03:35
|
|||
|
You had young blood, heatin’ up
You travelled hard and you played rough
Did you find where you belong
In the greatest chord of your favourite song?
You were helpless, kneeling with a diamond stone
I was selfish, happy on my own
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I love you so
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I love you
Come stay with me and be my love
With streets below and stars above
And I will sing this song to you
Each morning, each night, each afternoon
You are selfless, walking through the violet light
I am helpless, caught inside your eye
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I love you so
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I love you
Love is not a thing that I could bring to you, but I would try to
I’d do anything with you, go anywhere, if it was with you
Because you were helpless, kneeling with a diamond stone
I was selfish, happy on my own
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I love you so
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I love you

Consider The Speed
02:54
|
|||
|
You’ve got me all twisted up inside
My body’s desire, my heart in denial
It’s alright, I’ve got a better disguise
Run, run, run free
Consider the speed
At which you are falling for me
The truth is real, I’m gonna miss you when I’m
Laying it down, I’m twisted inside, it’s alright
I’ll be okay for the night
Run, run, run free
Consider the speed
At which you are falling for me
Dreams are coming true as I’m getting closer to you
I know there’s nothing wrong, and I’m barely holding on to you
To you, to you
You’re my American big star boy
My lovin’ baby, my heart is your toy
Come and see
I think you’re better with me
Run, run, run free
Consider the speed
At which you are falling for me
You got me all twisted up inside
My body’s desire, my heart in denial
It’s alright, we’ll be okay for tonight
Run, run, run free
Consider the speed
At which you are falling for me
One, one, one, three
Consider the speed
At which you are falling for me
Run, run, run free
Consider the speed
At which you are falling for me

Lost You Forever
03:27
|
|||
|
We drove twenty-six states
In forty-two days
We fell in love every night
We made every show
And I played every solo
Then I slept in the back seat until we got home
Strong ocean surf, the achin’ got worse
I told you I’d never be yours
We crossed over the border out of California
Pulled off on the shoulder to stand in the sun
Knowing that I could have lost you forever
Nothing could drag me away from you now
Nobody tells you “it’s now or it’s never”
So take what you want before the going gets gone
I gave all my change to a man with no name
Under glowing New Mexico moon
And you were still riding so high in my mind
Coming in like a train through the cold desert night
New York it came true, and I waited to find you
You told me you’d do what you could
And you left in the morning, no word and no warning
In a taxi that cost you far more than it should
Knowing that I could have lost you forever
Nothing could drag me away from you now
Nobody tells you “it’s now or it’s never”
So take what you want before the going gets gone
Take what you want before the going gets gone
Take what you want before the going gets gone
We drove twenty-six states
In forty-two days
We fell in love every night
We made every show
And I stared out the window
Then I slept in the back seat until we got home

Midnight Choir
03:22
|
|||
|
I’m alone, not so much as stoned
No dark time, living in a straight line
And I don’t wanna go back now
I don’t wanna go back now
I don’t wanna go back now no more
I was up singing shapes
With a midnight choir
I was lost in LA with the young and wild
Got a ride back home in your pickup truck
'Cause you know I had to run
And it feels so good
And it feels so good
Wide awake, seven in the morning
Waking free, sunrise never seen
And I don’t wanna go back now
I don’t wanna go back now
I don’t wanna go back now no more
I was up singing shapes with a midnight choir
I was lost in LA with the young and wild
Got a ride back home in your pickup truck
'Cause you know I had to run, yeah
And it feels so good
And it feels so good
I was up singing shapes with a midnight choir
I was lost in LA with the young and wild
I got a ride back home in your pickup truck
'Cause you know I had to run
And it feels so good
And it feels so good

Ramblin' Rose
03:30
|
|||
|
You grew up like a flower in the wrong place
And all could see the beauty of your rose
But the autumn browned its leaves
And the petals fell to pieces
They were shiverin’ in between two sidewalk stones
Time has let those petals wash away
And now I know what you were trying to say
So I’ll let you go as long as you are leaving
I’ll stay with you as long as you have left
When it comes to your time
No reason and no rhyme
I know that I won’t find you here again
I know that I won’t find you here again
I was Mississippi-bound, hell-bent on leavin'
I was cryin’ tears I prayed you’d never see
For all our seasons lost, all the courage in your blood
Oh, you couldn’t see past living without me
Time has never offered guarantees
The more I carry on, the less I need
So I’ll let you go as long as you are leaving
I’ll stay with you as long as you have left
When it comes to your time
No reason and no rhyme
I know that I won’t find you here again
I know that I won’t find you here again

Paper Thin Walls
03:19
|
|||
|
My heart is a hole in the road
In the wilds of Ontario
You’re the wind lickin’ the window
Of a car just passing through
Your heart is a firefly
I’m chasing after in the summertime
It's so pretty when I see the light
But then it goes out again
Paper thin walls
I heard you on the other side
When you’re done talking
Tell me who was wrong and who was right?
When you’re driving all your points so far home
Tell me who was right
And who done you wrong?
Your heart is a cherry tree
And I am trying to learn to speak Japanese
So I can tell you how it looks to me
When you’re blooming in the spring
Your heart is a firefly
I’m chasing after in the summertime
So pretty when I see the light
But then it goes out again
Paper thin walls
I heard you on the other side
When you’re done talking
Tell me who was wrong and who was right?
When you’re driving all your points so far home
Tell me who was right
And who done you wrong
Who done you wrong?

One High Note
03:32
|
|||
|
Can’t sleep at night, I’ve been dreaming strange
No guiding light, no path to take
There’s no honesty in rock ’n’ roll
All lovers and leaders, bought and sold
Oh, flash flooding, rain is coming
Underneath the pine
If I ring you up,
Will you tear me down?
We left it all on one high note
Can you hear me now?
No purpose, power, will ever last
No promises can heal the past
No bullet flies back to its gun
No woman can control what’s done
Oh, flash flooding, rain is coming
Underneath the pine
If I ring you up
Will you tear me down?
We left it all on one high note
Can you hear me now?

Two Wild Horses
03:07
|
|||
|
Two wild horses on Saturday night
They got loose near the Franklin Pike
Mother and baby, just mindlessly grazin’
They were blind to the cars that flew by
I was knockin’ on doors of the gold-gated mansions
Slipping on silk and champagne
Nobody knew what the right thing to do was
So two wild horses ran away
Five long days later, I’m troubled about
Where I was when this all began
I was strumming my fate in a little apartment
I played to my heart’s content
I was a spectre who stumbled all over this city
I haunted the barrooms ’til dawn
In misty white mornings, I faded to dust
While the birds sang a sunrise song
If you want the truth babe, I’ll give it to you
I have never felt so close to grace
Lucky don’t even come close
To the feeling I get when I see your face
There’s nothing that I wouldn't give to be near you
To be there when you need a friend
We are two wild horses on Saturday night
I will wander with you 'til the end
