Just Like My Father

JUST LIKE MY FATHER I'LL ALWAYS BE POOR
I HOPE I INHERIT THE SMILE HE WORE
HE NEVER QUESTIONED THE THINGS HE LIVED FOR
GOD GAVE HIM A GOOD FAMILY, HE SAID YOU CAN'T ASK FOR MORE
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN IF YOU DON'T GO TO CHURCH
ARE YOU A PREACHER IF YOU DON'T USE THE GOOD BOOK
A WOMAN SAID SHE'S NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY SHE LOOKS
I CALLED HER PRETTY, SHE SAID I LIE LIKE A CROOK
ONE IN A MILLION ODDS TO MAKE IT OUT OF HERE
EVERYONE SAYS YOU CAN NEVER GO HOME
I'VE NEVER WISHED SO HARD I COULD DISAPPEAR
WHY AM I SO LONELY WHEN I'M NOT ALONE

BETWEEN EMPTY SILOS AND BARREN FIELDS
THE WIND GREW STRONG AND IT CARRIED ME
INTO THE TOWN OF HAVILAND
WINTER SOIL WAS MY HEART
HARD, COLD AND COVERED UP
BUT THERE I FELL TO STRANGERS' HANDS
AND I FELT HOPE IN HAVILAND
WHEN MOSES STOOD BEFORE THE SEA
THE LORD SAID I WILL GO WITH THEE
HE LED THEM TO THE PROMISE LAND
LIKE I FELT LED TO HAVILAND
I FELT HOPE IN HAVILAND
LIKE THOSE POETS WITH THEIR PENS
TRYING TO HELP US UNDERSTAND
I'VE REASON TO BELIEVE YOU CAN
FIND REAL HOPE IN HAVILAND

Love Me
03:31
|
|||
|
YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME, THEN YOU DON'T LOVE ME
YOU SAY YOU'LL HAVE ME, THEN YOU WON'T HAVE ME
YOU SAY I LOOK GOOD, THEN I DON'T LOOK GOOD
YOU CALL ME HONEY, THEN YOU DON'T CALL ME ANYTHING
I ALWAYS WANT YOU, I ALWAYS DO
I TRY TO SAY WHAT I MEAN TO
I WISH YOU COULD WANT ME, LIKE AT THE START
WHEN YOU WOULD SAY THINGS STRAIGHT FROM YOUR HEART
|

True Friend
04:28
|
|||
|
SO MUCH MISCOMMUNICATION
LIKE I DON'T EVEN SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE
I'M NOT AGAINST THE THOUGHT OF GOODBYES
BUT I'M HERE ASKING MYSELF WHY
I'VE NEVER BEEN THAT MUCH FOR TV
I THINK IT DRIES UP ALL MY ENERGY
I THINK IT MESSES WITH PERCEPTION
I'VE NEVER FELT SO MUCH REJECTION
I DON'T WANNA PRETEND
I JUST WANNA REAL FRIEND
DON'T WANNA BE MISLEAD
I JUST WANNA TRUE FRIEND
DOES IT MATTER I'M A USER
ALL THESE GADGETS AND COMPUTERS
YOU SAY THAT PHRASE AS IF YOU COINED IT
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT IT BETTER JOIN IT

Hope in a Maybe
03:34

HEADED DOWN 29, DESTINATION BETTER LIFE
PACKED OUR THINGS SAID GOODBYES
GOT IN THE CAR, DROVE THROUGH THE NIGHT
IT WAS HIGH TIME
WHEN WE FALL IN LOVE WE DON'T KNOW WHY
BUT WE CANNOT HELP IT, CANNOT HIDE IT
WE SORT IT ALL OUT IN OUR MINDS
SO CONVINCED AND IT FEELS RIGHT
BUT DO YOU THINK WE ARE CRAZY
ALL OUR HOPE IS IN A MAYBE
WHEN WE GET TO TOWN WE HAVE NO JOBS
HAVE NO MONEY, BUT WE HAVE LOVE
WE TELL THE LANDLORD WE CAN PAY
BE WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE'LL BE A WAY
DO YOU THINK WE ARE CRAZY
ALL OUR HOPE IS IN A MAYBE

Let's Go
04:50
|
|||
|
YOU'RE ASLEEP AT MY SIDE
I AM WONDERING ABOUT OUR LIFE
WHERE DO WE GO NOW
WHERE DO WE GO
IN THE MORNING WHEN YOU WAKE
I WON'T SHOW YOU I'M AFRAID
I'LL SAY LET'S GO NOW
I'LL SAY LET'S GO
NOW I'M LEANING OVER
I'M SPEAKING SOFTLY
I FEEL LIKE I'M FACE DOWN
AND I CAN'T GO FARTHER
LIKE I'M A PILOT BUT I GOT NO PLANE
GOT A GUITAR BUT I GOT NO STRINGS
LIKE I'M A POET BUT I GOT NO PEN
WANNA FALL ASLEEP BUT I GOT NO BED
|

Gone
04:08
|
|||
|
GOLDEN EYES, ALL IS GONE
I DON'T KNOW WHY GOD IS SO FAR
I WROTE YOU WHEN MY HEART WAS FROZEN
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ARE SO FAR

Dreams
04:52
|
|||
|
BEEN HAVING DREAMS, DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN
WAKING ME UP AT NIGHT
I HEARD A VOICE, IT SOUNDED LIKE GOD
CALLING FROM THE LIGHT
I FEEL LIKE I'M FALLING DOWN
I FEEL LIKE I'M FALLING DOWN
I FEEL LIKE I'M FALLING
DON'T LET ME HIT THE GROUND
TWO MEN WERE DRINKING AT THE BAR ON 7TH AVENUE
WEATHERED FROM THE SUN
ONE SAID IT SEEMS LIKE THE DAYS ARE GETTING LONGER NOW
STILL IT'S SO HARD TO GET THINGS DONE
I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING OLD
I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING OLD
MY BODY USED TO MOVE MUCH QUICKER
NOW IT'S STIFF AND COLD
ALL OF THE PLACES I'VE NEVER BEEN
I THINK ABOUT THEM
AND I TRY TO PRETEND
I'M ANYWHERE BUT HERE
ALL OF THE TEACHERS SAID GO ON AND GET OUT OF HERE
THE WORLD IS THROUGH THOSE DOORS
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD LEAD ME TO A HOSPITAL
MOPPING THE HALLWAY FLOORS
I FEEL LIKE I'VE MISSED MY CHANCE
I FEEL LIKE I'VE MISSED MY CHANCE
I FEEL LIKE IT FLEW RIGHT BY
NEVER EVEN GLANCED

Break Your Heart
04:25
|
|||
|
OH, MY LOVE, DON'T LOOK DOWN
WE STILL HAVE HIGHER TO GO
IF WE STOP, WE WILL FALL
BACK INTO THE MIRE
I'M IN NEED OF REDEMPTION
NEED YOU TO PLAY A PART
BUT I MAKE IT HARD TO FORGIVE ME
I ALWAYS BREAK YOUR HEART
WHEN YOU SAID YOU CAN'T DO THIS
WHAT DID YOU MEAN
WOULD YOU STOP EVEN THIS HIGH
FOLLOWING ME
