It goes like the clouds
It floats like the sky
I want to go someplace and find you there.
Don't go away
I need you to stay
I want to go someplace and find you there.
And, yes, you just run to him
And I'll be down on my knees begging you,
Begging you: Don't! I love you.
I saw through your lies
I saw through your disguise
I want to go someplace and find you there.
And, yes, you just run to him
And I'll be down on my knees begging you,
Begging you: Don't! I love you.
Don't go away,
I need you to stay.
I want to go someplace and find you there!
Girl, baby girl
Will you come back home to me?
For this darkest night won't ever let her be
And sing: Fire Fire Fire
Oh I'll sing for you
My girl, baby blue
Babe, oh babe
Will you love me so when I have to go?
For this darkest night won't ever let her speak
And sing: Fire Fire Fire
girl, you've been forgetting
just how special you really are
and I try to remind you
but sometimes I can't find you
but the truth is in your heart
so write a note to self
girl, don't beat yourself up
your best is good enough
so pick the pen up
and write a note to self
a note to self
don't be cruel
'cause things do happen
and you know it's not your fault
don't cover your wounds
with this song
girl, let me tell you what I see
you've got to believe me
you're a thing of beauty
girl, put it in an envelope
put it in the post
it'll come back to your door
and read a note to self
a note to self
don't be cruel
'cause things do happen
and you know it's not your fault
don't cover your wounds
with this song
and write a note to self
and read a note to self
Gonna sing you an old country song, from the heart
So I can cry your name and call you when I'm sad
When you have gone, run so far from me in the trees so far
Walkin' down that old country lane, drops of rain
Call upon the ones who call your name
Will I see you again and please just come on back home to me
So I'm not all alone
Gonna sing you an old country song, from the heart
I've been thinking about
The way the world turns
And my stomach churns
When it finally hits me out of the sky
I knew this day would come
I'm on the front line
Oh, don't know how to take it in
Is love just suffering?
Cause I can see where the chapter ends
I've got autumn leaves
And heartbreak dreams inside, inside
Cause you and me,
On this frozen sea we slide, slide
I wait all on my own
Like a flower in the snow
With just my shadow following me
Out into the cold
Where I walk past the trees
To look for my love
Oh, and it's got me wondering
Is love just suffering?
Cause I can see where the chapter ends
I've got autumn leaves
And heartbreak dreams inside, inside
Cause you and me,
On this frozen sea we slide, slide
I drink to remember, I smoke to forget
Some things to be proud of, some stuff to regret
Run down some dark alleys in my own head
Something is changing, changing, changing
I go back to Clifton to see my old friends
The best people I could ever have met
Skin up a fat one, hide from the Feds
Something is changing, changing, changing
So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain
Light a cigarette and wish the world away
I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay
So I hold two fingers up to yesterday
Light a cigarette and smoke it all away
I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay
Down in the kitchen, drinking white lightning
He's with my momma, yelling and fighting
It's not the first time praying for silence
Something is changing, changing, changing
So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain
Light a cigarette and wish the world away
I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay
So I hold two fingers up to yesterday
Light a cigarette and smoke it all away
I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay
There's a story for every corner of this place
Running so hard you got out but your knees got grazed
I'm an old dog but I learned some new tricks yeah
So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain
Light a cigarette and wish the world away
I got out I got out I'm alive and I'm here to stay
So I hold two fingers up to yesterday
Light a cigarette and smoke it all away
I got out I got out I'm alive and I'm here to stay
Hey, hey it's fine
Hey, hey it's fine
Hey, hey it's fine
There's a blind man in the witness stand
With three young men's lives in his hands
There's a poor boy who stood at the scene
Who'll be haunted by the dirty things he's seen
It's a shame all the jury knew the accused
'Cos now they're running free when they left her cold and bruised
There's a chalked white line stained with blood
Sorry Mr. Jones, we did all we could
There's a whole lot of people out there and they're all running free
Some will kill and some will steal the last breath that you breathe
From you
From you
So Mr. Jones in a cruel twist of fate
Found the perpetrators in a drunken haze
Gave them retributions for their twisted ways
Now he's going down for yesterday
There's a whole lot of people out there and they're all running free
Some will kill and some will steal the last breath that you breathe from you
From you
Stuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
Is the thought of getting out
There's a tower block overhead
All you've got's your benefits
And you're barely scraping by
In this trouble town
Troubles are found
In this trouble town
Words do get 'round
Kick the bottom make troubles flee
Smoke until our eyes would bleed
Sparkle pop the seed
Hear the sirens down the street
The kids get light on their feet
Or they'll be in the back seat
In this trouble town
Troubles are found
Sitting on the pavement
Boy you've missed your payment
And they're gonna find you soon
If there's a beating in the rain
If there's a little bit of pain, man
You're the one it happens to
If I talk of getting out
I only hear the laughter loud
It's gotten ugly at home
Somewhere there's a secret road
To take me far away I know
But til then I am hollow
In this trouble town
Troubles are found
In this trouble town
Fools are found
Sitting on the pavement
Boy you've missed your payment
And they're gonna find you soon
If there's a beating in the streets
If there's a feeling (?)
You're the one it happens to
Stuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
Am I crazy or am I blind?
Someone told me I'm out my mind,
Ohhhhhh,
Someone told me girl I liked,
Fell in love and all I did was cry,
Ohhhhhh,
Someone hold me, I'm done with this game,
Said I'm sorry, but I'm not to blame, What a shame,
Ohhhhhh,
Tried to break from this lonely pain,
Someone told me I'm just insane,
Ohhhhhh,
Broke my heart when I knew,
That I could never be with you,
Ohhhhhh,
Someone love me, but not today,
Will you show me? Show me a way, how to love,
Ohhhhhh,
Someone told me a girl I liked,
Fell in love and all did was cry
Filled my head with the future, fill my eyes with the sky,
Hold my life get left behind, but I never felt more alive.
I speak conversations, speeding it down the line,
Locked in your eyes I just had this goodbye, but I never felt more alive.
I can taste it,
In my mouth, it's just so bittersweet,
It's like they're in your eyes,
A mouthful grin.
It should be easy, but it's hard to leave.
The time in the fire is ugly, you won't know if you won't try,
Love bring on my shirt and I walked away hurt, but I never felt more alive.
Talking about my connection, think I might have fused a while,
You are never sight as our voices die, but I never felt more alive.
I can taste it,
In my mouth, it's just so bittersweet,
It's like they're in your eyes,
A mouthful grin.
It should be easy, but it's hard to leave.
Yeah, this love treat us,
And it's been a long, hard drive.
Painful in the morning, when your best friend is the night.
Fly over the mountain and never looking down,
I never felt more alive.
Dread is gonna find us, a hope into your eyes,
‘cause I never felt more alive.
I can taste it,
In my mouth, it's just so bittersweet,
It's like they're in your eyes,
A mouthful grin.
I been in search of stones
Making up the pavement
of less traveled roads
Mining for treasure deep in my bones
That I never found
Went looking for reverence
Tried to find it in a bottle
Came back again
High on a hashpipe of good intent
But it only brought me down
Tried institutions of the mind and soul
It only taught me what I should not know
Oh the answer well
Who would have guessed
Could be something as simple as this,
Something as simple as this?
Traveled to each oceans end
Saw all 7 wonders,
Trying to make some sense
Memorized the mantra confucius said
But it only let me down
Tried absolution of the mind and soul
It only led me where I should not go
Oh and the answer well,
How could I miss
Something as simple as this?
Something as simple as this?
I've been falling crashing breaking
And all the while you were
Stood here waiting
For me girl
Tried liberation of my own free will
But it left me looking to get higher still
Oh and the answer well
who could have guessed
could be something as simple as this?
God knows how I could have missed
