Ain't That The Truth

wait outside its cold as death in here
it took so long we almost disappeared
and now im stuck inside remembering memories
babe i got a heart thats made of gold
yet im feeling bought and sold, yes i am
it took too long without it making sense
you cant get nowhere by sitting on a fence
and wherever you may roam you run into circumstance
babe i got a heart thats made of gold
yet im feeling bought and sold
and the same old way is getting old
ain't that the truth
you run so far away is now your home
you starve yourself so you can sharpen your bones
and now im kickin' down the road and skipping stones
babe i got a heart thats made of gold
yet im feeling bought and sold
and the same old way is getting old
ain't that the truth

Baby
03:30
|

i just keep messing up
i try to win but i got no luck
and it just brings me down
this race I'm in i go round and round
but she loves me anyway
yeah she loves me anyway and she says
baby, everything will be ok
baby, everything will be ok
I've lied i cheat i steal
I've numbed myself so i can't feel
sometimes i wanna chuck it all
throw it all away put up some walls
but she hears me when i call
yeah she hears me when i call and she says
baby, everything will be ok
baby, everything will be ok
and i thought i knew
what i would do
but i don't know at all
mistakes were made
and id do em all again
just don't let me break
say it'll be ok
it might not be worth the pain
i screw it up and do it again
i hang my head in shame
the same old song the same refrain
but she loves me anyway
yeah she loves me anyway and she says
baby, everything will be ok
baby, everything will be ok

Friends
03:44
|
|||
well i said i do
crying over it just wont do
when its the truth
and youre acting like it aint the same
cause i knew
pouring my heart over you
wouldnt soothe
and we be crafting us both up some pain
we'd be ringing our hands once again
ashamed that we both never win
but i still dont think we can be friends
where did we leave off?
sounds like you still got that cough
you still act so tough
and you see things that others dont see
like will i be enough?
what if someone comes and calls your bluff
when things get rough
but youre just as sweet as can be
youve always been the sweetest to me
i know that when this thing ends
itll hurt too much to be your friend
well now my dear
where do we go from here
cause it aint that clear
decisions got you furrowing your brow
so lets just hang out
forget about the worries and doubts
let em disappear
we'll be in this moment right now
we'll figure it out somehow
maybe then our hearts will mend
but i still dont we can be friends
yeah i still dont think we can be friends
itll hurt too much to be your friend

The Light
03:41
|
|||
just your silhouette against the wall
we watch the shadows fall
ran down through the streets shouting your name
you never answered my call
now its so cold and i don't want to be alone tonight
you took the light, the light, the light, the light from me
what does it all mean if it don't mean a thing to you
have you forgotten everything or you just don't give a damn
bout what we've been through
i guess it easier to bury things and turn a blind eye
you took the light, the light, the light, the light from me
when will this be something that you don't frown upon
i gave you everything now and now i got nothing to stand on
now I'm too empty i got no more tears to cry
you took the light, the light, the light, the light from me

Maybe Someday
03:53
|
|||
the way that we used to be around town
looking back on memories brings me down
they said we're the lucky ones
but wait what does that mean
i could never get it together long enough
you always did your best to shut me up
everything goes and comes
back again
though it may seem like I'm all buttoned up
I'm apart at the seams and looking a little rough
honey i don't want you back
i ain't gonna lie
our train went off the tracks
we were both too afraid to fly
honey i don't want you back
I'm not even gonna try
maybe someday my my in the sweet by and by
there ain't no one to blame it just is
you can hide everything inside a kiss
the way that you cant breath
the sway like a dream

St. Veronica's

us city kids never got season passes
sometimes my world felt like molasses
out in the streets running from class
and i got the feeling that it'll never last
too many of us not enough of them
you hung around, we became friends
we'd listen to folks tell us how it was then
we'd borrow & steal never get back what we'd lend
then you'd come around, holding up your mirror
and I'd run away covered in fear
we'd make it til midday in second gear
til we got chased away told get out of here
well i loved you madly
never thought it'd ever ever end so badly
but time wears you down, whoa time wears you down
but i feel like our love will always be around
we built a cardboard shack in a lane way
that one spot in the park was the place to stay
we'd meet at your house, it always smelled the same
til one day you were gone, you just moved away
then you'd come around, holding up your mirror
and I'd run away covered in fear
we'd make it til midday in second gear
til we got chased away told get out of here
well i loved you madly
never thought it'd ever ever end so badly
but time wears you down, whoa time wears you down
but i feel like our love will always be around

Warfare
03:53
|
|||
baby i got your back
when they come to attack
we'll set up a barricade
to keep them all away
if they open fire
ill lay down right beside ya
plan our escape while we're tossing hand grenades
every time you open your eyes
i want it to be me you see
every time you say good bye
i don't want it to be to me
if they start a war
we'll give em what they're looking for
stand our ground
and aim for right between the eyes
when we have a child
or more than one to drive us wild
we'll start our own army
a family infantry
every time you open your eyes
i want it to be me you see
every time you say good bye
i don't want it to be to me
the lives we're saving
we're sparing casualties
while the wars keep raging
on air, land & sea
yeah you know it ain't easy
you know how hard it can be
the way things are going
when we're only trying to get us some peace
every time you open your eyes
i want it to be me you see
every time you say good bye
i don't want it to be to me

whoa!
05:02
|
|||
load me up like a pistol
pull my trigger and watch me go
we got some things to do before the show
it gets so cold here in the winter
let's hold each other so we can keep warm
i like having you round on my arm
it's not pity that I'm feeling
or regret that we carried on
I'm just amazed that we lasted this long
and it goes, and you go, and i go and we go, whoa!
well I'm not the easiest to get along with
i cant even stand myself some times
you've put up with so much, so many times
one thing led to another
it wasn't planned to go that way
sometimes these things happen no matter what you say
it's not pity that I'm feeling
or regret that we carried on
I'm just amazed that we lasted this long
and it goes, and you go, and i go and we go, whoa!
bridge:
well lets light some fires and howl at the moon
don't ever get tired of it cause its over so soon
we all got regrets, yeah i got some too
but ill never regret ever loving you
baby you know that's the truth
well its been a long time coming
and i don't know when its gonna end
we've both given so much lets not pretend
i get so confused
when you tear it all apart
but there ain't no confusion here in this heart
it's still not pity that I'm feeling
or regret that we carried on
honey I'm still amazed that we lasted this long
and it goes, and you go, and i go and we go, whoa!

Falling Again
05:01
|
|||
I'm falling once again,
I'm falling out of my head
once again
I'm calling out to the edge
I'm calling it never ends
it never ends, never ends
why cant you see
that its always the same
why cant you see
i got no one to blame
just me, only me
we're stalling when it begins
we're stalling bucking the trends
bargaining, in the bargain bin
now I'm standing on a high wire
falling as we get higher
to heavens reach, we're in heavens reach
why can't you see
that its always the same
why can't you see
i got no one to blame
just me, only me
I'm falling once again,
I'm falling out of my head
once again
