WORDS
I met a man in Mason, Texas-bought a drink and told me about his life
His house is paid, his car runs fine, his dog behaves and his children aren’t behind
life seems to be alright
But his mom just passed and dad moved in, they both raise glasses to their lost kin
They smoke cigars and fancied cars they’d do the things that father and sons do
they’re trying to get by
But he’ll go on down to the liquor store where a man he knows has seen his face before
He went on to explain that the pain of loosing someone he cares for
Has drunken up his heart
But oh how life moves through their broken bones
And we turn what we love into our homes
And the magazines and the movie screens distract him from his mom’s eternal sleep
To try and pass the time to forget 20 years by her side
He’s asking god why
And every time that he gets down he see’s his children with his mom’s blue eyes
But their older now and they pray about their old pop’s lost and lonely soul
They’re pleading with the sky
But oh how life moves through their broken bones
And we turn what we love into our homes
God only knows what Heaven holds
Yeah God only knows what Heaven holds
but i’ll see you there
Yeah i’ll see you there…..
Tell me that you see me baby give me something i could lay my head on
Tell me that you miss me crazy give me something i could maybe rest on
Melt me down to chivalry, take the hand i know you can depend on
I never meant to drive you crazy
I never meant to bring you harm
And if i ever get a little crazy
well i mean no harm
Drink your potions little princess leave me facing places you would want me
Don’t tell me to just go relax, give me hope that I could just depend on
I never meant to drive you crazy
I never meant to bring you harm
And if i ever get a little crazy
Well i mean no harm….
I don’t suppose you know what I’ve been going through
A half a bottles gone and half of me is still thinking about you
I send apologies its cause
I knew I couldn’t change
yeah my Hennessy fills up when I see you
and when my cigarettes go out I need you
and the sad part is your right
I don’t know where you go
or even what you do
but simple is as simple does
and simply I just have to be with you
I send apologies its cause
Well I want you to want me
yeah my Hennessy fills up when i see you
and when my cigarettes go out i’ll need you
and the sad part is
You go on and leave me
just as long as you know
that every time i look at you
i look the other way out of spite
but the sad part is that i know your right
I send apologies its cause
Well I want you to want me
yeah my Hennessy fills up when i see you
and when my cigarettes go out i’ll need you
and the sad part is right
Its true the second that i saw him with his arm over you
I wanted to steal all the love back from you
that i handed out for free for no cost or no fee
guess that’s how it’ll be- you with him not with me
And i wait for you now in my car is where i want you to be
wait for your love without you is where I don’t want to be
because if i meant that much to you we’d share this table for two
instead i sit here alone pretending you lost your phone
call you should have made to me
that would have brought me to my knees
the lonely live in memories and in my dreams your still with me
And i wait for you now in my car is where i want you to be
wait for your love without you is where I don’t want to be
wait for you know in my car is where i want you to be
wait for your love without you is where I don’t want to be
Sarah tell me this is just a game
Cause my fallen tears have come back again
And it hasn’t been more than 10 days since i left you in the last place we laid
I know you have gone somewhere that i cannot
Sarah tell me this is not how it seems
Cause my dialed calls go to your machine
And it hasn’t been more than 10 days since i left you in the last place we laid
I know you have gone somewhere that i cannot
And she loves me a while
she had a dream but now its time
to get back to where we came from
its the timing of our life
Sarah tell me this is not how it feels
Now she’s staying for a while
There has to be a way this time
To get back to where we came from
and to final feel alive
I don’t where she came from but everybody she’s from down by San Diego
Her hair is long and skin is dark her face reveals a mystery of el spirtiolo loco
Don’t know what she’s left behind but she’s got something on her mind
Back in San Diego
Her body moves on top of mine I see her mind does she see mine
Her lips wont let me say no
I know she just wants me to be someone else
But maybe she can’t make it tonight by herself
As she pulls the window shade her eyes look out and i’m afraid
She’s back in san diego
Her hair is long and skin is dark her face reveals a mystery of el spirtiolo loco
She just wants me to wait by myself
But maybe I’m not ready to give up myself
Driving back she’s on her way I finally found what I should say
Don’t go back to San Diego
She calls me on the telephone her broken English lets me know that
She doesn’t want to let go
I don’t know the reasons why but something in me said goodbye
When she left for San Diego
And as I’m quite on the phone the silence seems to let her know that
There’s more in San Diego
I know she just wants me to be something else
But maybe she not ready to give up herself
Its like this hurricane is raining down falling on her shoulders
So insane is the rain resting on her shoulders
She plans to marry a man that she does not know and tries not to understand
Its like this hurricane is raining down falling on her shoulders
So insane is the rain resting on her shoulders
She plans to marry a man that she does not know and tries not to understand
Cause I want her back
I want you back
But I can’t look back “so don’t look back”
I want you back
Its like this hurricane is raining down falling on her shoulders
So insane is the rain resting on his shoulders
She plans to marry a man that she does not know and tries not to understand
Cause I want her back
I want you back
But I can’t look back “so don’t look back”
I want you back
I want her back, “but I can’t look back”
But I want you back “but I can’t look back”
I want you back, I want us back
Hurricane is raining down falling on my shoulders
So insane is the rain resting on my shoulders
She plans to marry a man that she does not know and tried not to understand
So if we are going to take
A late night sesh and a morning bake
Well the sky will fall and the clouds will rise above us
And the Moon will become one with the sun
Cause when your living in the pearl…..
The sand will rise and the tress will grow
The entire pearl is predictable
But the waves will crash and the water will propel me
To make a friend at the 36th street jetty
Cause when your living in the pearl…..
So honey the light in here has been breaking up my sight
Along with the people in here but the people stay here all night
So why don’t we sneak out the back and go dancing in the moonlight
With the feelings attached I’m wondering if you might
Just dance with me, by the sea
Just dance with me
Well honey the light in here has been breaking up my sight
Alone with the bottle of champagne and the smilies your giving me alright
So why don’t you come over here and tell me it’ll be alright
With the feelings attached I’m wondering if you might
With the light on her face my world changes shapes
The pieces of love come together with fate
So come over here please don’t make me wait
Long
Honey the light in here has been breaking up my sight
Along with the people in here and the people stay here all night
So why don’t you come over here and tell me it’ll be alright
With the feelings attached I’m wondering if you might
Just dance with me, by the sea
Just dance with me
We don’t need any of this we’ve got plenty to do
Between packing our bags and making love to you
In those places we shouldn’t get so naked but do
We should get out of our town we could go drive around
Or we could visit the zoo I promise I’d pay for you
Just as long as you do all those little things you do
I sat by a homeless man who wore papers for clothes
He told life could look like gold just as long as we know
Which way heaven goes by now you’d think by now we’re old enough to know
For you, for you I would
Oh no for you, for you I would
Oh no no life it could taste oh so sweet or it get caught up in your teeth
And that don’t change that i need you to help me make me feel confused
A little bit misused but its not what you do
Summers past we’re on our own
One last drink before she goes home
Kiss her fast its a moving world
A lonely boy for a lonely girl
But in a closed window world
I’ll keep mine up
Yeah in a closed window world
I’ll keep mine up, if you keep yours up
and we could start it new
and i’d be better to you
yes i’ll be better to you
Cause i’d climb right in, but only if you let me in
And we could talk about, all the things we fought about
And we could start it new and i’d better to you
Cause in a closed window world, I’ll keep mine up
If in this closed window world, you’d keep yours up
Lady I’ll just sing this to you strait you broke my hear now
All alone I’m wondering if you still watch all the
Same TV with him
Or did you fuck up and call him instead
Cause all the time we should have had
Has been tossed with you in his bed
Now I’m drinking by myself at home
Man I should have turned off my
Phone and let the shit settle in
but then again I’m just a guy
Cause all the times we should have had
Have been tossed with him in his bed
I never called you but I thought about you
and i fell in love with the sex, yeah
and after all the fun was over we’d both roll over
just to talk about the things
then we talk about nothing
just like the time when you asked me
“could all of this be just a dream?”
You can watch the same TV with me
We could stay in bed from fall till spring
He’s just a season in our life
He’s just a season in our life
