For My Friends Lyrics
2 ContributorsFor My Friends LyricsI remember we used to sit out back and drink until the morning light
Always bummin' smokes and talking trash about the plans that we had
Summers come and gone and the winter needs a song
And I guess I keep movin' along in a rhyme that I have in my head
Rhyme that I have in my head
Oh we used to drop some pills and sing till we lose our voice
Chasing our dreams, we tried to put 'em in a bag and save 'em for another day, yeah
Oh I feel these memories are real, times you can't steal
For the love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Oh, I just can pretend I need you
There ain't no other love I'd rather have
Soon you will find my heart
It's a beat that will never stop
It's the loneliest time apart
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Wishing Well Lyrics
1 ContributorWishing Well LyricsWhen you fall back down
And you've lost your crown
Get back up, walk around
Turn that frown upside down
Take my hand once again
We will all understand
Help you find a new plan
Oh, it's time to help you
Get you back on your feet and on your way
If the tables were turned around
I know you'd be there for me
It all works out
Don't get lost and forget
Turn the lights off and rest
Don't you worry no more
Kill your pain and sores
We'll be there when you wake
No more sweat or the shakes
Feel the love if you can
Lost your mind, feel insane
Oh, you're feeling hopeless
And all your dreams have gone away
Take the time to heal your sorrows
Disappear from the world, live for tomorrow
Hope you changed your ways
There's not much more to say
When the dark turns to gray
Broken hearts fade away
La da da, da, da
La da da, da, da
La da da, da, da
Oh, it's time to help you
Get you back on your feet and on your way
If the tables were turned around
I know you'd be there for me
It all works out
And I hope that it all works out
And I hope that it all works out
And I hope that it all
That it all works out
That it all works out
That it all works out
Tumblinā Down Lyrics
1 ContributorTumblinā Down LyricsI went drivin' today
I couldn't help but think of how
You're with somebody else
And now you've got a child
It's been a few years
Since I saw you last
I know you're doin' fine
You don't miss the broken glass
Well I won't waste your time
So I don't come around
I didn't mean to make you cry
I just wanted to make you proud
But it all come tumblin' down
Yes it all comes tumblin' down
Yes it all comes tumblin' down
Whenever you're around
Through the years
We tried to make it work
It'd start with a yellin' match
And end up gettin' hurt
But now you're gone
I've changed my shallow ways
Oh, you'll never see them
But you will never know
Somedays
I miss the noise we used to make
And then I stop and say
That I'm never goin' back
'Cause it all comes tumblin' down
Yes it all comes tumblin' down
Yes it all comes tumblin' down
Whenever you're around
Please don't forget about what we've had or lost
I'll take it everywhere I go from here on out
I know you'll do the same
Whatever life you make
'Cause it all comes tumblin' down
Yes it all comes tumblin' down
Yes it all comes tumblin' down
Whenever you're around
Whenever you're around
Down on the Pharmacy Lyrics
1 ContributorDown On The Pharmacy LyricsYeah
You're fooling no one but yourself
You finally made it to your own hell
It took the bottom to shake your will
You forgot to love and forgot to feel
They locked you up, you're scratching the ceiling
You're down on your knees, you're praying for something
You're looking real high, lying to live for
What do you do and where do you go now?
I know a place for you to hide
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
You've been strung out for awhile
I know that you know that we know you know
You're living a story that's already been made
You're burning the pages that you keep fading
The more you keep hiding the more we keep fighting
The less you keep trying, the sooner you're dying
The more that you give up, the more that you give back
The cleaner that you get, the sweeter that life is
The sooner that you know, the sooner the shit flows
(Ooh) Ya got to give it up now
(Ooh) Ya gotta let it rest
(Ooh) The time is right now
(Ooh) You know it's right
It's time that you tear down that wall inside
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
Then one day you will wake up with nothing to give
Ooh, nothin' to
Ooh, nothin' to give, no
You never think it will ever turn out the way it does when you start out
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
Lah, lah, lah-da, lah-da-da
Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Please forgive me, oh
Make a Difference Lyrics
1 ContributorMake A Difference LyricsI've got peace on my mind with a pistol full of insistence
Enough blood to fill an egg
But does it make a difference
Tolerance was the sermon, no matter how dubious
The fundamental thinking just turned so malicious
There's a few people spinning gold
Some just try to save their soul
But I wonder what to do
Money, bills and secret guns
I know I can't help everyone
But I can take on one or two
That's what I'll do
I've got to pick a God, so many of them to witness
Did I follow the right one; does it make a difference?
Inside there's a substance few hold my penance
The whole world has gone mad, but can I make a difference?
There's a few people spinning gold
Some just try to save their soul
But I wonder what to do
Money, bills and secret guns
I know I can't help everyone
But I can take on one or two
That's what I'll do
It's beautiful in the world
It's beautiful in the world
There's a few people spinning gold
Some just try to save their soul
But I wonder what to do
Money, bills and secret guns
I know I can't help everyone
But I can take on one or two
That's what I'll do
Last Laugh Lyrics
1 ContributorLast Laugh LyricsYou didn't wake up before you hit the ground
And I didn't stay up long enough to see you falling
You never asked for the world but then
You jumped from the rooftop
'Cause you had to have the last laugh
Look where you are
Look where you are now
Look where you are
I heard you say
Everyday above ground was a good one
You never see her
Hair in braids and blue eyes
Because we didn't try hard enough
She's still waiting to hear you sing
A song for her
You jumped from the rooftop
She still asks me
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I heard you say
Everyday above ground
Everyday above ground was a good one
I want to live so much that I am going to die
I want to run so fast that I am gonna fall
I probably said it once before I apologize
This will be the last time
This will be the last time
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I heard you say
Everyday above ground
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I heard you say
Everyday above ground
Everyday above ground was a good one
Cheetum Street Lyrics
1 ContributorCheetum Street LyricsIt was late one night in Southern Texas
My dad was playing in a rock n' roll band
He took me along to a place called Cheetem Street
My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time
Oh, but a phone call would have been nice
Ooh, but a phone call would have been nice
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
And the world couldn't change my spirit
This will remain the same
You were young and living like you wanted to
I understand because I packed up and left just like you
At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands
Ooh, in so many ways you did
I don't want to have you worry no more
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
So we can move on
I want you to know I really needed you then
And I can use you now
I talked to you by listening to all of those Stevie songs
I would sit along side of the fence
Now you're doing fine and you're gigging here and there
It's been nice to know you for the past few years
When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure
I wish it could have turned out so different
I wish it could have turned out so different
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
And the world couldn't change my spirit
This will remain forever
I don't want to have you worry no more
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
So we can move on
