Scars & Stories

[Verse 1]

We're on an open bed truck on the highway

Rain is coming down and we're on the run

Think I can feel the breath in your body

We got to keep on running 'til we see the sun

[Pre-Chorus]

You got a fire and it's burning in the rain

Thought that it went out but it's burning just the same

And you don't look back, not for anything

'Cause if you love someone, you love them all the same

If you love someone, you love them all the same

[Chorus]

I feel your heartbeat

You're coming around, coming around, coming around

If you can love somebody, you love them all the same

You got to love somebody, you love them all the same

I feeling your heartbeat

[Verse 2]

I'm trying to put it all back together

I got a story and I'm trying to tell it right

I got the kerosene and the desire

I'm trying to start a flame in the heart of the night

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, you got a fire and it's burnin' in the rain

Thought that it went out, but it's burnin' just the same

And you don't look back, not for anything

'Cause if you love someone, you love them all the same

If you love someone, you love them all the same

[Chorus]

I feel your heartbeat

You're coming around, coming around, coming around

If you can love somebody, you love them all the same

You got to love somebody, you love them all the same

I feeling your heartbeat

[Bridge]

I know the memory is rushing into your mind

I want to kiss your scars tonight

You got to try, you got to let me in

Let me in

[Chorus]

I feel your heartbeat

You're coming around, coming around, coming around

If you can love somebody, you love them all the same

You got to love somebody, you love them all the same

I feeling your heartbeat

[Outro]

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Heartbeat

[Verse 1]

The lover held her love

She begged him not to go

The fighter wrapped his gloves

The fighter said I know, I know, I know

Just this one last time

I swear you'll still be mine

But he can't promise much

He goes for one last touch, one last touch

[Chorus]

Maybe we were meant to be lonely, lonely

Maybe we were meant to be on our own

Loneliness has always been with me, with me

But maybe we don't have to be all alone

[Verse 2]

The fighter goes inside

The doubt is creeping in

He swings with all his might

At all that might have been

And she's in love with him

But lovers don't always win

He never even saw the swing

She calls out his name, calls his name

[Chorus]

Maybe we were meant to be lonely, lonely

Maybe we were meant to be on our own

Loneliness has always been with me, with me

But maybe we don't have to be all alone

[Bridge]

What breaks your bones

Is not the load you're carrying

What breaks you down

Is all in how you carry it

[Verse 3]

The lover held her love

She begged him not to go

She unwrapped his gloves

The lover said I know, I know, I know

Kissed his trembling lips

She touched his fingertips

But somehow they both know

He's not coming home, coming home

[Outro]

Loneliness has always been with me, with me

Maybe we were meant to be on our own

But I got to try or it will destroy me

'Cause maybe we don't have to be all alone

[Verse 1]

There's a sentence on my father

On my sister, on my brother

There's a terror in the corner

That'll make your blood run cold

And it goes back in my bloodline

And we tried to walk away

But I want you as my lover

You are where I want to stay

[Pre-Chorus]

And I don't know what it is, what it is, what it is about you

What it is, what it is but oh

[Chorus]

The way you're moving, oh

You turn me on

I want to touch you 'til we're burning

Oh, you turn me on

[Verse 2]

I see you rising and you're falling

And I try to look away

But I'm frozen in the darkness

You're a burning cabaret

[Pre-Chorus]

And I don't know what it is, what it is, what it is about you

What it is, what it is but oh

[Chorus]

The way you're moving, oh

You turn me on

I want to touch you 'til we're burning

Oh, you turn me on, come and turn me on

Oh, the way you're moving, oh

You turn me on

I want to touch you 'til we're burning

Oh, you turn me on, come and turn me on

[Outro]

I want to feel, I want to feel you, love

I want to feel, oh I said I want to feel the way you're moving

Oh, you turn me on, come and turn me on

[Verse 1]

Seventeen years by her side, broke the same bread

Wore the same clothes and you said

"We're sisters with nothing between, if one of us fall

The other will soon be following"

[Verse 2]

Both of you fell the same day and you don't know why

But one of you never woke up

You lay your body down on the floor, you're desperate to hear

Her footsteps again, but this house is on fire

And we need to go

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone

[Chorus]

Run for your life, my love

Run and you don't give up

With all that you are and all that you want

I will be close behind, run for your life

[Verse 3]

She had a fire inside and that terrified you

You swore that you'd never lose your control

Baby, let yourself go, 'cause part of you hides

And I know the hunger inside of you is strong

You can only hold back the river so long

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, you don't have to go it alone

Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone

[Chorus]

Run for your life, my love

Run and you don't give up

With all that you are and all that you want

Run for your life right now

And if you don't know how

I'll come back with you and take all that's true

And leave all that's burned behind

Run for your life

[Bridge]

Oh, you don't have to go it alone

Go it alone, go it alone

[Chorus]

Run for your life, my love

Run and you don't give up

With all that you are and all that you want

Run for your life right now

And if you don't know how

I'll come back with you and take all that's true

And leave all that's burned behind

Run for your life

[Verse 1]

Oh my God, I think I'm lost at sea

And these silent waves are my company

And I lost the line between the sky and sea

And I'm wondering will the wind ever come for me, yeah

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't know

I don't know where I am

Can you tell me

Will I break or will I bend?

Will the wind ever come again?

[Verse 2]

I feel the sun coming up, rising from the East

And I see the Empire falling to her knees

And I lost the line between her and me

But my troubles are gone if the wind ever comes for me, yeah

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't know

I don't know where I am

Can you tell me

Will I break or will I bend?

Will the wind ever come again?

[Bridge]

Dreamed, I found the shoreline

You were standing there

I dreamed I found you waiting

You were waiting for me, waiting for me

Tried to kiss the emptiness

Lost the line between sky and sea

I feel the sun coming up

Coming up, coming up, coming up

[Outro]

But I don't know, I don't know where I am

I will break or I will bend

Will the wind ever come again?

2 Contributors48 to Go LyricsIsaac Slade revealed that inspiration for this song came from a road trip he and his wife, Anna took (while they were just dating) from Denver, Colorado to Los Angeles. During the road trip they stopped… Read More From Denver to California

By way of Mexico

We're lost and we're finding each other

And we may never see the West Coast

We may never see the West Coast

We're taking it slow

But for now we're two down

And 48 to go

Missed an exit in Albuquerque

But we don't seem to mind at all

We pull over, the sun is burning

And we lay down to feel the rainfall

We're taking it slow,

But for now we're two down

And 48 to go

The desert winds blowing your hair back

Window down, town after town

Where will be in half a century

Two down and 48 to go

The sun rises in Bernardino

Sometime after 6 am

You take 27 up old canyon road

Sometimes you win before you run

Sometimes you win before

We got 48, 48 to go

48 to go

48, 48

Come on, baby

Come on, darling

48 to go
