Track Lyrics
After the Devil Beats His Wife Lyrics
[Intro]
You wanna swim in the river
I wanna dance in the summer
You've always been the believer
I'm always left to wonder
The water is rushing so fast
I think it will take us under
[Verse 1]
Oh, what thought did you recall
That would make you say my name?
The water's so deep
A friend says "Don't go"
But my mouth betrays me
And says "Hold on"
And now I know
[Chorus]
This is the pain of believing
(The danger is real)
And there's no easy way out
(How did I get here?)
You trust too much in my bravery
It's my safety you're taking
[Post-Chorus]
We're gonna drown in the river
I cannot swim any farther
My blood is pumping so fast
My heart and limbs underwater
[Verse 2]
And I reach and find your hand in mine
And they say you will be saved, but no
I pull and I pull and I pull
But your foot, it's anchored deep
Your face tells me you won't be free
And now I know
[Chorus]
This is the pain of believing
(The danger is real)
And there's no easy way out
(How did I get here?)
You trust too much in my bravery
It's my safety you're taking, oh
[Bridge]
I decided long ago
Never let your loved ones know
Who you really are, who you really are
People want the truth but never want the scars
And now I'm here
My best friend died
And I'm the one who's still alive
And you say it's gonna be okay
Over and over and over and over and over and over again
[Outro]
River wash me clean!
River wash me clean!
River wash me clean!
River wash me clean!
Story About a Man With a Bad Heart Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Watch your makeup
There's just a smudge beneath the eye
You look great in that dress
It hits every curve just right
We're got dinner at eight, and then drinks by nine
I love you so, it's our anniversary tonight
[Chorus]
Suddenly everything shakes as if it's starting to break
And now I'm on my knees
My wife screams, "What's Wrong!?"
As the stereo plays our song, Only In Dreams
[Verse 2]
Just last Friday is when my heart failed again
I was thinking that I should find a friend
I bought her several drinks
And slipped the ring into my hand
We drove to her place
And let the good times roll again
[Chorus 2]
Suddenly everything shakes as my protection breaks
And now I'm on my knees
And I scream, "This was wrong!"
As I leave, the stereo plays the song, "The Finishing"
[Bridge]
Is this it? Is this how I have spent my life?
Lying there with a broken heart on bedroom floors
And finally, finally, I realize
I realize that I'm only a man
I'm only a man
I'm only a man
I'm only a man
[Outro]
Watching this screen
These lives played out before my eyes
And how they know everything
Everything comes easy
I never had it easy
I was never lucky
It was never easy
And you sit there and you judge my commitment
You people can say that I'm the bad guy
Because I was weak
I was weak once or twice
Well let me tell you
I am standing in the need
I am standing in the need
Because I can't control this person behind my hands
(One thing I have to know, where did the miracles go?
And if a simple man believes
Will it start again with me?)
(If I were the maker I would fashion out a blade
To cut out every inch of dead heart I've made)
Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus Lyrics
[Intro]
He's never gonna go away
He's never gonna go away
He's never gonna go away
He's never gonna go away
He's never gonna go away
He's never gonna go away
[Verse 1]
So we sit and we wait
For the curtains to fall
And there are words we could use
But should never say at all
But you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do
[Verse 2]
We met in the courtyard
Where no one would notice
Two kids contemplating
All high school had shown us
And I told you I loved you
And I knew you believed it
As I quieted my conscience
Hoping you didn't see it
But I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do
[Chorus]
I just want to be with you tonight
The mood is set and we're here by candlelight
I paid my dues so don't be rude
Stop putting up a fight
I just want to get with you tonight
[Verse 3]
You know they say
What doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger
But the questions remain
Until you can't take it any longer
But I am still so young
But I didn't know I could be so dumb
And you you're still so young
But now I know that you're so dumb
[Pre-Chorus]
He's never gonna go away
I'm never gonna go away
[Chorus]
I just want to be with you tonight
The mood is set and we're here by candlelight
I paid my dues so don't be rude
Stop putting up a fight
I just want to, I just want to, I, I, I
[Post-Chorus]
I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do
So what about you?
[Bridge]
Never satisfied
I'm never satisfied
Never satisfied
So let them all fall
Side by side
[Outro]
Side by side
One more will fall tonight
One more to throw aside
Bringing pain so joyfully
So you can say you have fallen
Side by side
Let them fall
Side by side
Let them fall
Side by side
Let them fall
Side by side
What Makes a Man a Man Lyrics
[Intro]
Take a look and see for yourself what makes a man
A man, and I will step back to the life I left
Maybe you won't forget who I am
[Verse 1]
Wake up in the middle of the night
Just don't believe everything's all right when these
Thoughts are running 'round your head
And it's late, so you don't really want to say goodbye
So you just head down the stairs that lead you out
The sound of silence is as loud as a gunshot
"Forgive me" were the only words they read on the note you left
[Chorus]
Singing, oh, oh
I can't find any way out
I can't find any way out
Oh, oh
I can't find any way out
I can't find any way out
[Verse 2]
I wish I could live where the sea meets the land
The ocean and I would be the best of friends
And I'd make her my own. I would float in her waves
She would sing me to sleep as she carried me away
Won't you carry me away?
Oh please carry me away
Ocean carry me away
You're my better half
[Chorus]
Singing, oh, oh
I can't find any way out
I can't find any way out
Oh, oh
I can't find any way out
I can't find any way out
Oh, oh
(I don't really want to sing anymore
There's got to be something I could live for so just show me now)
I can't find any way out, I can't find any way out
Oh, oh
(Everyday is just another regret
It's time for me to give it a rest and it's over now.)
I can't find any way out, I can't find any way out
[Outro]
A look and see for yourself what makes a man a man
The Movie Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm the guy that dies at the beginning of the movie
I'm the one who never makes it out of the cave
It's because just when I have got everything going for me baby
You come around and take it all away
[Pre-Chorus]
It's true, I'd do anything for you
[Chorus]
She asked if this is cool
(What did you say?)
I played it like a fool
(Oh, no!)
It's like I've said before
I could die tonight for just one kiss more
[Verse 2]
On the brink, about to sink
I'm drowning baby and I can't think
Of a way to pull myself back to shore
It's your face I can't take
And my knees are about to buckle
The same way as they did
The night you walked through my door
[Pre-Chorus]
It's true, I would do anything for you
[Chorus]
She asked if this is cool
(What did you say?)
I played it like a fool
(Oh, no!)
It's like I've said before
I could die tonight for just one kiss more
[Bridge]
Every time my eyes are closing there is just one word
Once it's spoken, my eyes open, and I'm yours to serve
[Verse 3]
When your world tries to blow itself up from the inside
I will dig a foxhole for two
So you know that I will always be there for you
And maybe you could find a love for me too
[Pre-Chorus]
It's true, I would do anything for you
[Chorus]
She asked if this is cool
(What did you say?)
I played it like a fool
(Oh, no!)
It's like I've said before
I could die tonight for just one kiss more
[Outro]
One kiss more
Oh my darling, my love
Just one, just one, just one
