Bleed American Lyrics

[Verse]

I'm not alone 'cause the TV's on, yeah

I'm not crazy 'cause I take the right pills every day

And rest, clean your conscience, clear your thoughts with Speyside with your grain

Clean your conscience, clear your thoughts with Speyside

[Chorus]

Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt

Our hearts littering the topsoil

Tune in and we can get the last call

Our lives, our coal

Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt

Our hearts littering the topsoil

Our lives

[Verse]

I'm not alone 'cause the TV's on, yeah

I'm not crazy 'cause I take the right pills every day

And rest, clean your conscience, clear your thoughts with Speyside with your grain

Clean your conscience, clear your thoughts with Speyside

[Chorus]

Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt

Our hearts littering the topsoil

Tune in and we can get the last call

Our lives, our coal

Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt

Our hearts littering the topsoil

Our lives

[Bridge]

(I bled the) greed from my arm

Won't they give it a rest now?

(Give it a rest now)

Now, now, now

[Chorus]

Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt

Our hearts littering the topsoil

Tune in and we can get the last call

Our lives, our coal

Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt

Our hearts littering the topsoil

Our lives, our coal

A Praise Chorus Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Are you going to live your life wondering

Standing in the back, looking around?

Are you going to waste your time thinking

How you've grown up or how you missed out?

Th-th-th-th-things are never going to be the way you want

Where's it going to get you acting serious?

Th-th-th-th-things are never going to be quite what you want

Even at 25, you got to start sometime

[Chorus]

I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go

Now all I need is just to hear a song I know

I want to always feel like part of this was mine

I want to fall in love tonight

[Verse 2]

Are you going to live your life standing in the back looking around?

Are you going to waste your time?

Got to make a move or you'll miss out

So-so-so-so-someone's going to ask you what it's all about

Stick around, nostalgia won't let you down

So-so-so-so-someone's going to ask you what it's all about

Well what you going to have to say for yourself?

[Chorus]

I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go

Now all I need is just to hear a song I know

I want to always feel like part of this was mine

I want to fall in love tonight

[Bridge]

Crimson and clover, over and over

(Crimson)

Our house in the middle of the street

(And clover)

Why did we ever meet?

(Over)

Started my rock 'n roll fantasy

(And over)

(Crimson)

Don't, don't, don't let's start

(And clover)

Why did we ever part?

(Over)

Kick start my rock and rollin' heart

(And over)

[Chorus / Outro]

I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go

So come on, Davey, sing me something that I know

I want to always feel like part of this was mine

I want to fall in love tonight

(Here tonight)

I want to fall in love tonight

(Here tonight)

I want to always feel like part of this was mine

I want to fall in love tonight

The Middle Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey, don't write yourself off yet

It's only in your head, you feel left out

Or looked down on

Just try your best

Try everything you can

And don't you worry what they tell themselves

When you're away

[Chorus]

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be alright, alright

[Verse 2]

Hey, you know they're all the same

You know you're doin' better on your own (On your own)

So don't buy in

Live right now

Yeah, just be yourself

It doesn't matter if it's good enough (Good enough)

For someone else

[Chorus]

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be alright, alright

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be alright, alright

[Guitar Solo]

Woo!

[Verse 3]

Hey, don't write yourself off yet

It's only in your head, you feel left out (Feel left out)

Or looked down on

Just do your best (Just do your best)

Do everything you can (Do everything you can)

And don't you worry what their bitter hearts (Bitter hearts)

Are gonna say

[Chorus]

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be alright, alright

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be alright

Your House Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When you're on, I swear you're on

You rip my heart right out

I think the whole room can hear me clear my throat

You rip my heart right out

[Chorus]

If you still care at all, don't go, tell me now

If you love me at all, don't call

[Verse 2]

Then out of nowhere, put me right back there

Rip my heart out, you rip my heart right out

And we know what happens when we get to your house

You'll rip my heart out, you'll rip my heart right out

[Chorus]

If you still care at all, don't go, tell me now

If you love me at all, please don't tell me now

If you still care at all, don't go, tell me now

If you love me at all, don't call

[Bridge]

Well, I throw away everything I've written you

Oh, anything, just keep my mind off of thinking how I had you once

Oh, I can't forget that

Sometimes, I wish I could lose you again

[Verse 3]

You're winning me over with everything you say

You rip my heart right out

When I let you closer, I only want you closer

You rip my heart right out

[Chorus]

If you still care at all, don't go, tell me now

If you love me at all, please don't tell me now

Yeah, if you still care at all, don't go, tell me now

And if you love me at all, don't call

[Outro]

If you love me at all

Sweetness Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you're listening, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Sing it back, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

String from your tether unwinds (String from your tether unwinds)

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Up and outward to bind (Up and outward to bind)

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

[Chorus]

I was spinning free, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

With a little sweet and simple numbing me

[Verse 2]

Are you listening? Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Sing it back, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

So tell me, what do I need? (Tell me, what do I need?)

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

When words lose their meaning (When words lose their meaning)

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

[Chorus]

I was spinning free, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

With a little sweet and simple numbing me, yeah

Stumble 'til you crawl, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Sinking into sweet uncertainty

[Interlude]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Are you listening? Are you listening?

[Verse 3]

If you're listening, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

(If you're listening, are you listening?)

Sing it back, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

(If you're listening, are you listening?)

And I'm still running away (I'm still running away)

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Won't play your hide and seek game (Your hide and seek game)

Whoa-oh (Whoa-oh), whoa-oh

[Chorus]

I was spinning free, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

With a little sweet and simple numbing me

What a dizzy dance, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

A-a-and the sweetness will not be concerned with me

[Outro]

No, the sweetness will not be concerned with me

Hear You Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's no one in town I know

You gave us some place to go

I never said thank you for that

I thought I might get one more chance

[Pre-Chorus]

What would you think of me now?

So lucky, so strong, so proud

I never said thank you for that

Now I'll never have a chance

[Chorus]

May angels lead you in

Hear you me, my friends

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

So, what would you think of me now?

So lucky, so strong, so proud

I never said thank you for that

Now I'll never have a chance

[Chorus]

May angels lead you in

Hear you me, my friends

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

[Bridge]

(May angels lead you in)

May angels lead you in

(May angels lead you in)

May angels lead you in

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

And if you were with me tonight

I'd sing to you just one more time

A song for a heart so big

God wouldn't let it live

[Chorus]

May angels lead you in

Hear you me, my friends

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

Hear you me, my friends

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

[Outro]

On sleepless roads the sleepless go

May angels lead you in

If You Don’t, Don’t Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What's wrong baby?

Don't they treat you like they should?

Did you take them for it?

For every penny that you could?

We once walked out on the beach and once I almost touched your hand

Oh how I dreamed to finally say such things

Then only to pretend

[Verse 2]

Don't you know I'm thinking (know I'm thinking)

Driving 405 past midnight

You know I miss you (don't you know that I miss you?)

Ninth and Ash on a Tuesday night

I would write to you from Museum Mile

A toast to you: your whisper, your smile

Up the stairs at Weatherford

A ghost each place I hide

[Chorus]

If you don't, don't know, why'd you say so?

Would you mean this please if it happens?

If you don't know, why would you say so?

Won't you get your story straight

If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?

'Cause I need this now more than I ever did

If you don't well, honey, then you don't

[Verse 3]

I left you waiting (I know I left you waiting)

At the least could we be friends?

Should have never started (never started)

Ain't that the way it always ends?

On my life I'll try today

There's so much I've felt I should say but

Even if your heart would listen

I doubt I could explain

[Chorus]

If you don't don't know, why'd you say so?

Would you mean this please if it happens?

If you don't know, why would you say so?

Won't you get your story straight?

If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?

'Cause I need this now more than I ever did, did

If you don't well, honey, then you don't

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 4]

So here we are now

A sip of wine a sip of water

Someday maybe

Maybe someday we'll be smarter

And I'm sorry that I'm such a mess

I drank all my money could get and

Took everything you let me have

And then I never loved you back

[Chorus]

If you don't don't know, why would you say so?

Would you mean the please if it happens?

If you don't know, why would you say so?

Won't you get your story straight?

If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?

'Cause I need this now, now need this, need this

If you don't well, honey, then you don't

If you don't know, honey, then you don't

And if you don't well, honey, then you don't

[Outro]

If you don't know, honey, honey, then you don't

Get It Faster Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't care what you do

I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me

Don't want a thing from you

I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry

[Chorus 1]

I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me

I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry

[Verse 2]

I should have thought things through

I'm holding out, but not getting an answer

I want to do right by you

I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster

[Chorus 2]

I'm holding out, not getting an answer

I'm finding out that cheating gets it faster

I'm holding out, not getting an answer

I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster

[Verse 1]

I don't care what you do

I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me

Don't want a thing from you

I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry

[Verse 2]

I should have thought things through

Yeah I'm holding out, but not getting an answer

I want to do right by you

I'm finding out that cheating gets it faster

[Chorus 2]

I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me

I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry

I'm holding out, but not getting an answer

I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster

Cautioners Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The time I would spend with pictures I would not send

I watched you go from left to right

I followed you all night across my blinds

[Chorus]

You'll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me

You'll take your steps away with hesitance

You'll take your steps away from me

[Verse 2]

I'm making my peace, I'm making it with distance

Maybe that's a big mistake

You know I'm thinking of you

I miss you

[Chorus]

You'll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me

You'll take your steps away with hesitance

You'll take your steps away from me

[Non-lyrical Bridge]

[Chorus]

You'll change your mind come Monday and turn your back on me

You'll take your steps away with hesitance

You'll take your steps away from me

The Authority Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's how the hustle goes

See what the jukebox knows

Put my last quarter on

I'll play "Authority Song"

[Chorus 1]

Honesty or mystery?

Tell me I'm not scared anymore (I, I)

I got no secret purpose

I don't seem obvious, do I? (Do I, do I?)

I don't seem obvious do...

[Verse 2]

The DJ never has it

J.A.M.C. "Automatic" (Do I?)

If those were Roy's headphones

You bet he'd play "What Goes On" (Do I?)

[Chorus 2]

Honesty or mystery?

Tell me I'm not scared anymore (I, I)

I got no secret purpose

I don't seem obvious do I? (Do I, do I?)

I don't seem obvious, do I? (Do I, do I?)

I don't seem obvious do I? Do I?

[Bridge]

Oh, well I'm here, that means something doesn't it?

Oh, won't you dance with me a little bit?

Oh, you don't notice, cause the music's too loud

[Verse 3]

It's how the hustle goes

See what the jukebox knows (Do I, do I?)

Put my last quarter on

I'll play "Authority Song" (Do I?)

[Chorus]

Honesty or mystery?

Tell me I'm not scared anymore (I, I)

Say anything you want already I'm not scared anymore (I, I)

Honesty or mystery, want something else?

Just tell me I'm not scared anymore (I, I)

I got no secret purpose

I don't seem obvious, do I? (Do I?)

[Outro]

I don't seem obvious, do I? (Do I?)

My Sundown Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I see it around me, I see it in everything

I could be so much more than this

[Verse 2]

I said my goodbyes, this is my sundown

I'm gonna be so much more than this

[Chorus]

With one hand high, you'll show them your progress

You'll take your time, but no one cares

No one cares

[Verse 3]

I need you to show me the way from crazy

I wanna be so much more than this

[Chorus]

With one hand high, you'll show them your progress

You'll take your time, but no one cares

With one hand high, you'll show them your progress

You'll take your time, but no one cares

No one cares

[Post-Chorus]

I could be so much more than this

No one cares

I want to be so much more than this

No one cares

I could be so much more than this

No one cares

I want to be so much more than this

No one cares

I want to be so much more than this

No one cares

I want to be so much more than this

[Outro]

Good goodbye, lovely time

Good goodbye, tinsel shine

Good goodbye, I'll be fine

Good goodbye, good goodnight
