Mountains & Purple Rain
04:07
|

Well won't you please stay
And won't you please lay with me
And won't you please stay
And won't you please lay with me
Mountains and purple rain
When I looked into your eyes
And you started to cry
And I didn't know why
I didn't know why
Well won't you please stay
And won't you please lay with me
And won't you please stay
And won't you please lay with me
You took me by surprise
A bleeding love your disguise
And you said your goodbyes
And I want to know why
And I want to know why
Well won't you please stay
And won't you please lay with me
I want you to stay
And I want you to lay with me
With me

Your Heart
04:12
|

Well your heart fills the room
As I stumble around
And the sun burns too bright
While we sit in the town
Tried to open the door
I didn't have that key anymore
And we shared one last glance
And we shared one last dance
And you know me
Looking in the backyard for spaces
Under your favorite tree
And she's standing next to me
So sweet
So sweet
And it's hard to find the light
When there's no one left in sight
I've been lying in my bed
Trying to lift my head
I see your face in the dark
Miles and miles apart
And the shadow that hangs on the wall
Is as big as the one in the hall
Well your heart fills the room
As I stumble around
Should've taken care of you
When we lived in the town
And I'm not welcome anymore
A trick by my own design
As the rain starts to pour
From so high in the sky
And you know me
Drifting through the back light
Always outrunning the fight
When it finally caught up to me
All I could do was leave
And it's hard to find the light
When there's no one left in sight
I've been driving around for so long
Didn't realize how far I had gone
My shoes are all ripped and worn
As I curl up next to something
That was once there before
But isn't anymore

Apocalypse Blues
04:03
|
|||
|
Things aren't quite lining up
The way I would've thought was enough
Grabbing hold of the days that move by so fast
As I fight to pick myself back up
Distractions won't work anymore
I give my days routine, I give myself some chores
But when the sun hits the window
And shines on the floor
I'm reminded of the things I ignore
It's and apocalypse, go home
Everyone has to look through the unknown
Don't ask yourself why you're so alone
It's an apocalypse, go home
You slept through the night in my arms
The whole house was quite but in my head were alarms
saying, "Know what you've got, it won't be there for long"
As I held you so tightly from harm
And if the rest of life's like this I'm dead
It feels like everyday a new love song gets stuck in my head
And while I looked for distractions, I remember you said
"It's much easier to forgive than forget"
It's and apocalypse, go home
Everyone has to look through the unknown
Don't ask yourself why you're so alone
It's an apocalypse, go home

When It's Cold
02:52
|

Looking back I probably shouldn't have come
Looking back I probably should've just run
When I was lying in your bed holding your head
But still feelin' like something was wrong
You got a boy back home who's waitin' on down the line
You make excuses, say you just don't have the time
I'd never wanna put you in that place
But it's gettin' harder and harder
When I look into your face
And your the apple of my eye
When it's dark outside
Come on in when it's cold
The night is young
When you're feelin' alive
But how about when you feel old?
How about when you feel old?
She's got short hair she says she wishes she didn't cut
She's got blue eyes that glow when she looks up
And it was tough to navigate
The moment was gone and I realized it too late
We probably shouldn't do that again
"I don't think I can live with myself," she says
I'm fine with waitin' 'til it all feels right
The dark comes fast when you unplug the lights
And your the apple of my eye
When it's dark outside
Come on in when it's cold
The night is young
When you're feelin' alive
But how about when you feel old?
How about when you feel old?

More Light
03:48

Woke up this morning
You weren't by my side
Outside rain was pourin'
Not a cloud in the sky
And you said you could die
Happy by my side
Took off long ago
In the first sign of snow
Let the mornin' sun
Shine it's light on me
Let the mornin' sun
Shine it's light on me
Bring food for the man
Who sits alone
Bring a roof to the man
Who has no home
Broken windows from
Throwing stones
A broken man
Who needs a bone
And you said you could die
Happy by my side
But I know that's not true
'Cause I know that's not you
Let the mornin' sun
Shine it's light on me
Let the mornin' sun
Shine it's light on me
I want to be free
I want to be free
Let the mornin' sun
Shine it's light on me
Bring a blanket for the man
He's cold on the ground
Lights fadin' fast
No one around
Shoulda stayed in the house
Filled with the sounds
But I went lookin' for you
In the cold, in the crowd

Say My Name
03:59
|
|||
|
I can't seem to figure it out, I'm excited
I've been fighting for you
Tell me it'll be alright, my knees are weak
I think it's safe to say you too
Try to pick my brain
I hear you say my name
There's never any wondering
What has eased my brain
Close my eyes and see
You staring back at me
There's never any wondering
What we ought to be
I can't seem to figure it out, how do we know
That tomorrow is okay?
Looking of the edge, what if I fall?
At least I'll have the shade
Try to pick my brain
I hear you say my name
There's never any wondering
What has eased my brain
Close my eyes and see
You staring back at me
There's never any wondering
What we ought to be
Try to find my stride
Watching friends go by
Leaving us behind
Watching friends go by
Try to pick my brain
I hear you say my name
There's never any wondering
What has eased my brain
Close my eyes and see
You staring back at me
There's never any wondering
What we ought to be
Try to find my stride
Watching friends go by
Leaving us behind
Watching friends go by
Try to find my stride
Watching friends go by
Leaving us behind
Watching friends go by

Next to You
04:14
|

|
I remember you in the light
As I approached on my bike
You were standin' under a tree
Just waitin', waitin' for me
In the center of town
There was no one around
As I pedaled next to you
Holdin' back the things that I knew
'Cause we ended things a few days before
And I told you that I couldn't give you more
But right now I'm fine next to you
'Cause I forgot to tell you
I was not the one
To sit on your bed 'til the mornin' comes
Waitin' for the light that shines above
I just can't relax
With you at my back
And I'm sorry I wasted your time
But I can't save you from the silence in your mind
'Cause we ended things a few days before
And I told you that I couldn't give you more
But right now I'm fine next to you
'Cause we ended things a few days before
And I told you that I couldn't give you more
But right now I'm fine next to you
You have the most
Beautiful face
And lookin' at you I get lost in space
Trippin', tryin' to run the race
'Cause I like the sound
Of my gears in the rain
You're crying like a fire and a flame
And I know things are bound to change
'Cause we'd ended things a few days before
And I told you that I couldn't give you more
But right now I'm fine next to you
But right now I'm fine next to you

Red Roof Roads
05:23

Red roof roads as far as I can see
Can you tell if that's really me?
Standing with two kids under a tree
And from the window your voice sounds like screams
Under water, floating down stream
I looked to you to answer all my dreams
Oh it's hard to believe
That things just fall into place
Random motions, are you and me
Just floating in space?
I wonder, yeah I wonder
If this is the place
Up above the birds sing
And their song beckons me
High above the red roof trees
And your heart is an empty place
I tried to filled it and was replaced
With something you loved less than me
Oh it's hard to believe
That things just fall into place
Random motions, are you and me
Just floating in space?
I wonder, yeah I wonder
If this is the place
A cheap trick, your mind is sick
With wasted time that you commit
I told you so many times before
A step too far and your mind was spent
And the car has a new dent
And you took the two kids with you when you went
Oh, it's so hard to believe
That things just fall into place
Random motions, are you and me
Just floating in space?
I wonder where you are
And if this is the place

White Paths
05:00
|

|
I really think that you should know
You make it really hard for me to know what's best
And I can't leave
With a wind that only ever blows
Makes my face as hard as stone
But beauty is the only thing I see
'Cause I can hear it tapping on my window
But it's faded by the way you lay in the green grass
The way we walk through the white paths
I know I should be patient
I takes a lot to hope that everything
Will work out on it's own
Lead me through the trees
Back to where it all began
I can't stand anymore, weighed down by the chore
Of picking up the pieces from the floor
Leaves fall into the stream and flow
They drift into the distance
I should follow to see where it leads
Through the frozen streets and snow
Am I moving very slow?
At least it helps me make up what I see
Lead me through the trees
Back to where it all began
I can't stand anymore, weighed down by the chore
Of picking up the pieces from the floor
I really think that you should know
I know exactly what I'm looking for
But really I can't leave
'Cause I can hear it tapping on my window
But it's faded by the way you lay in the green grass
The way we walk through the white paths

Kick Your Feet
06:36
|

|
When did the earth decide to spin
Much faster than it did before?
Suddenly it's so much harder to ignore
When did you life decide you needed
This much more?
It's like each day is getting harder to conquer
Under me, endless sea
Kick your feet, stay with me
You've got nothing to worry
I'll be there in a hurry
Kick your feet
I'll kick mine
Under these layers
I'm weak inside
That's usually something I try to hide
You keep me balanced, you keep me centered
You keep me afloat
And I try, yeah I try to do the same for you
Under me, endless sea
Kick your feet, stay with me
You've got nothing to worry
I'll be there in a hurry
Yes you sweat and you bleed
Take my hand, we'll be free
I will lift you from the dirt
Wipe your tears off on my shirt
Kick your feet
I'll kick mine
Should not have tried to do this
Without you by my side
It's all over now
Please don't cry
And won't you please stay
And won't you please lay with me
