Native America lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Carbon Leaf
As I went out in the open
I left for awhile
A tired stranger looking to be found
And so I stood there in silence
For someone to hear me
Someone to make the first sound
Someone to care for, someone to carry me home
I headed west to touch the ground
But the spirits didn't make a sound
As I stared in the face of Native America
And so my pilgrimage progress
Takes me over the land
Just so that I can keep up with the rush
And from the east to the west
I can feel my heart beating
To touch anything left untouched
Someone to care for, someone to carry me home
I headed west to touch the ground
But the spirits didn't make a sound
As I stared in the face of Native America
And so I leave to forget
To rebuild the patriot
Anything that I can find
Am I a visitor always
Always a stranger
Never knowing what I left behind?
Someone to care for, someone to carry me home
I headed west to touch the ground
But the spirits didn't make a sound
As I stared in the face of Native America
Out in the open
Wherever I'm looking
On everything that I see
Is an unwritten page
To an unfinished book
In an ongoing history
And as I stopped to see the earth go round
And as the sun's going up and down
It changes the face of Native America
And a river it runs right through
Red, white, black and blue
Straight down the face of Native America
I headed west to touch the ground
But the spirits didn't make a sound
As I stared in the face of Native America
Crossroads lyrics - Carbon Leaf
While at a crossroads
Headed A to B
I fell for a woman
Prone to run
But I couldn't make her follow me
So I offered up my heart
Before I left, final plea
And I would've taken her off
The hands of a man
If it were up to me
Standing at the crossroads
Just when everything meant to be
Faded out and disappeared
As far as the eye could see
We were standing at the crossroads
We were standing at the crossroads
Here we stood to assess the dirt
Where thunderclouds brushed the land
Here we stood, confessed to her
Heads bowed, hand in hand
Standing at the crossroads
Looking at these fields of dream
I stood and watched them come unsewn
Right at the patchwork seams
We were standing at the crossroads
We were standing at the crossroads
Standing at the crossroads
Just when everything meant to be
Faded out and disappeared
As far as the eye could see
Standing at the crossroads
Looking on these fields of dreams
I stood and watched them come unsewn
Right at the patchwork seams
We were standing at the crossroads
We were standing at the crossroads
We were standing at the crossroads
We were standing at the crossroads
If I Were A Cowboy lyrics - Carbon Leaf
The ghost of a building that once was a barn
Leans on itself on an old ghost-town farm
Its posts are all crippled
It's tired, it's done
Lays down to rest like a dog in the sun
Dust devils boil as they stretch for the sky
As if thirsty for more than the earth can provide
Sprinklers are quiet, hay's two bucks a bale
Just a piece of the west on the Oregon Trail
And if I were a cowboy I'd dance until dawn
If I were a cowboy I'd sing this song
Now the foothills roll on like a fabric of green
They fold in on themselves with no stitch and no seam
Higher to the mountains just fog and fir trees
If we haven't reached heaven we're at least at its knees
Corridors cut through these mountains of snow
Winding our way to the next makeshift home
So many ways out I forget where I am
So many ways out when a map's in your hand
And if I were a cowboy I'd dance until dawn
If I were a cowboy I'd sing this song
Out here the land is untouched and it's wide
There is no great progress, no great divide
The land seems so empty but with each step I know
Someone's been here before me with a story untold
Clouds in the valley
Dark shadows a break
A ghost creepin' and sweepin'
the dirt from his pain
Raindrops and teardrops
Just two bucks a bale
Another day in the west on the Oregon Trail
And if I were a cowboy I'd dance until dawn
If I were a cowboy I'd sing this song
And if I were a cowboy I'd dance until dawn
If I were a cowboy I'd sing this song
Midwestern Girl lyrics - Carbon Leaf
She's a midwestern girl
Her heart is paper mache
With a tornado ripping through
'Cause she is ready for change
California was fine
And she can soak up the sun
But she's returning to her roots
Where she will always belong
I-O-W-A, now
I-O-W-A, now
She's a midwestern girl
She's finally back in her state
I'm just a ghost out in the field
Virginia's so far away
She has the mane of a lion
Husky eyes that are framed
And cheekbones sculpted on the winds of I-O-W-A
Tell her when she's not around
Tell her as you're leaving town
Tell her when she's not around
Tell her everything now
But what are you supposed to say
To a midwestern girl as you are driving away
Well if you see your soulmate standing out in a field
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel
Down at the Val Air Ballroom
Out in western Des Moines
She's dancing out on the dance floor
And I feel high
Now the mirror ball spinning
It's a hundred degrees
It's always safer when it's crowded
But there are no guarantees
Tell her when she's not around
Tell her everything is fine
Tell her when she's not around
Before her roots take over
But I don't know what you're supposed to say
To a midwestern girl a thousand miles away
Well if you see your soulmate standing out in a field
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel
I'm just a ghost in a field
And she's a tundra queen
A midwestern girl beside an old evergreen
If you see your soulmate standing out in a field
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel
She's a midwestern girl
I got in late in the game
But I am driving in my mind to I-O-W-A
I-O-W-A, now [with crowd looping]
Unknown Bride lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Church bells, and I follow the sound
Footsteps on an unfamiliar ground
Tombstones led to
An old mission church on a hillside
If it was up to me
This is where it should be
I have watched you like watching the rain
Come to my hands
Feel the air drift through my fingers
Stretched out on the stone
Like a well for water I'm drunk for you
You alone
Oooh... you alone
Saturday rain, (brok by clouds)
Millions of people are starting to crowd
I am bound to you
You're by my side
Nowhere to hide
Unknown bride
Church doors swing wide to the sunshine
Out comes the tide, guests form their line
Church bells ring and all is alright
For the angel sings for the unknown bride
Dressed in white
Oooh... dressed in white
Saturday rain, (broke by clouds)
Millions of people are all having fun
I am bound to you
You're by side
Nowhere to hide
Unknown bride
Time to restore
Long overdue
Touch my face and pull me into you
Kiss my ear and dance this close to me
Hold me by your side until the unknown bride is the bride-to-be
The unknown bride is the bride-to-be
Saturday rain, (broke by the sun)
Millions of people have all come and gone
I am bound to you
You're by my side
Nowhere to hide
Unknown bride
Remember this place
Where the sun shone through just to kiss your face
If I should die without you by my side
Put my thin pine
On this hillside
Unknown Bride
For The First Time lyrics - Carbon Leaf
If I could see the western sky for the first time
If I could hold that horizon in my hand
If I could hold her close again before the wedding
If I could fall in love for the first time
If I could only let it go and start again
If I could write to my first love for the last time
What harm could it do?
A new age has begun
A new age has begun
If I could see that western sky for the first time
If I could hold that horizon in my hand
If I could sponge back the (pain) between two lovers lost
If I could fall in love again for the first time
If I could only let it go and start again
If I could pull the weeds of regret from a choking heart
What harm could it do?
A new age has begun
A new age has begun
A new age
When I see that western sky for the last time
I will know for that for the first time I am done
(I will hang my head down out on the prairie)
A new age has begun
When I see that western sky for the last time
I will know for that for the first time I am done
I will cleanse my dusty hands out in the twilight
A new age has begun
A new age has begun
A new age has begun
A new age has begun
A new age has begun
A new age had begun
Love For Sale lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Love for sale
All of the love I would've given away
But I didn't wanna break your heart
Love for sale
I couldn't deny, I thought of running away
But I never wanna break your heart
Break your heart again
All my days
Lost in the shadows and feeling my way
You know I never really know where to start
Call my name
Lightning across the sky sideways
You know I never wanna be a part
Be a part again
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
When you fall
When there's no one to call
When there's no one to call
When there's no one at all
Love for sale
Clamoring down another fire escape
But I'm sure you know it all by heart
All my time
All of your patience, all the warning signs
And you know I have a bleeding heart
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
When you fall
When there's no one to call
When there's no one to call
When there's no one at all
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
There's nothing to leave behind
When you fall
When there's no one to call
When there's no one
When there's no one at all
Indecision lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Long days, come alive
I take it in through my eyes
Long days of paper tigers
They ate all the words of the wise
Now my spirit and bones take me
Straight to a fork in the road
Now my spirit and bones take me
Somewhere I've never known
And if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the faces of home
Long days, fade away
I take it in through my eyes
Sometimes survival's the milestone
Electrified like a lightning tree
Take these spirit and bones
And catapult from the ground
What doesn't throw you or burn you
Will surely turn you around
But if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the places I know
And if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the faces of home
Long days, come alive
I face the trail of Old Lonesome Pine
I catch a glimpse, flickers of brilliance
Straight ahead for what's left behind
Long days, fade away
I hope to see them again
Sometimes survival's the milestone
I may get lost
But I will know where I've been
Know where I've been
I know where I am right now
I take it in through my eyes
Long days of paper tigers
They ate all the words of the wise
Now my spirit and bones take me
Straight to a fork in the road
Now my spirit and bones take me
Somewhere I've never known
And if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the faces of home
Long days, fade away
I take it in through my eyes
Sometimes survival's the milestone
Electrified like a lightning tree
Take these spirit and bones
And catapult from the ground
What doesn't throw you or burn you
Will surely turn you around
But if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the places I know
And if I face indecision
Don't let me face it alone
Just take me straight to Virginia
Back to the faces of home
Long days, come alive
I face the trail of Old Lonesome Pine
I catch a glimpse, flickers of brilliance
Straight ahead for what's left behind
Long days, fade away
I hope to see them again
Sometimes survival's the milestone
I may get lost
But I will know where I've been
Know where I've been
I know where I am right now
Another Man's Woman lyrics - Carbon Leaf
I fell in love with another man;s woman
Another man's woman's got a hold on me
I'm on my knees, I cannot see
She came out of the sun just like a deity
She came out of the cold and she is melting me
I fell in love with another man's woman
Another man's woman's got a hold on me
She's swarming in my head just like a buzz of bees
She's hit me like a cyclone on the 7 seas
She came in from the rain and
She's drowning me
Adrift and marrooned on a splinter at sea
Washed up in the desert and there's nothing to drink
And its no surprise that nothing rhymes with womn
Adrift and marooned on a splinted sea
Washed up in the desert and theres nothing to drink
Well, Oh Lord, I'm sure your bored of forgiving me
But don't you see...
I fell in love with another man's woman
Another man's womans got a hold on me
A match in the rain
A moth to the flame
A pleasure-seekin' yahoo with a penchant for pain
A double-decker bus of trouble, I'm in the way
I fell in love with another mans woman
Another man's woman has a hold on me
I painted over truth with my tear-stained lies
I took all of the honey 'til the honeycomb dry
These fantasies could make a dead man rise
Another man's woman's got a hold on me
I'm on my knees, I cannot see
She came out of the sun just like a deity
She came out of the cold and she is melting me
I fell in love with another man's woman
Another man's woman's got a hold on me
She's swarming in my head just like a buzz of bees
She's hit me like a cyclone on the 7 seas
She came in from the rain and
She's drowning me
Adrift and marrooned on a splinter at sea
Washed up in the desert and there's nothing to drink
And its no surprise that nothing rhymes with womn
Adrift and marooned on a splinted sea
Washed up in the desert and theres nothing to drink
Well, Oh Lord, I'm sure your bored of forgiving me
But don't you see...
I fell in love with another man's woman
Another man's womans got a hold on me
A match in the rain
A moth to the flame
A pleasure-seekin' yahoo with a penchant for pain
A double-decker bus of trouble, I'm in the way
I fell in love with another mans woman
Another man's woman has a hold on me
I painted over truth with my tear-stained lies
I took all of the honey 'til the honeycomb dry
These fantasies could make a dead man rise
Miss Hollywood lyric s- Carbon Leaf
Shootin' Stars. Gilded Age
Yeah just spoll your dreams to me
And we just hide away
You can stay if you believe
Just a leap of faith
Across a busy Boulevard of Broken Dreams
And I dream about her even though I never should...
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss hollywood
Yeah I would ride into the sunset if I could
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
So slow to fade...
Check all the Hip across the street
Taking turns unlocking doors to fame by prozimity
Golden dreams flow like water
and the water always wins, for good or bad
Once you let it in
[Chorus]
Don't cry on Oscar night
Lifted off from Mother Earth
To find her elusive smile
You can't buy authentic vibe
But you can checkout all the detours off the 405
But you can stay if you believe
But spinning gold is never easy
When shooting stars are your dreams
Up in the sku a star's just a star
But funny thing, when looking up
It seems to follow you wherever you are
And I dream about her even though I never should
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood
Yeah I could ride into the sunset if I could
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
And I dream about her even though I never should
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood
Yeah I would ride into the sun like Clint Eastwood
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
So slow to fade... So slow to fade... So slow to fade...
Yeah just spoll your dreams to me
And we just hide away
You can stay if you believe
Just a leap of faith
Across a busy Boulevard of Broken Dreams
And I dream about her even though I never should...
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss hollywood
Yeah I would ride into the sunset if I could
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
So slow to fade...
Check all the Hip across the street
Taking turns unlocking doors to fame by prozimity
Golden dreams flow like water
and the water always wins, for good or bad
Once you let it in
[Chorus]
Don't cry on Oscar night
Lifted off from Mother Earth
To find her elusive smile
You can't buy authentic vibe
But you can checkout all the detours off the 405
But you can stay if you believe
But spinning gold is never easy
When shooting stars are your dreams
Up in the sku a star's just a star
But funny thing, when looking up
It seems to follow you wherever you are
And I dream about her even though I never should
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood
Yeah I could ride into the sunset if I could
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
And I dream about her even though I never should
Miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood, miss Hollywood
Yeah I would ride into the sun like Clint Eastwood
Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood, Ms. Hollywood
So slow to fade... So slow to fade... So slow to fade...
Cinnamindy lyrics - Carbon Leaf
She longs for Peace
Its her revenge
She's a stark-white Pale Horse Rider
And Hell's just around the bend
She's kids to raise
She's got bills to feed
And her pride is a higher horse
Than some bum of a man upon a steed
The handle's rough,
She works it smooth
Hardened by the pace
The handds get though and it transfers through
Before the lines can reach her face
She flies like a kite held at the other end
Tuggin; dont on her cinnamon threads
Shes shreddin' in the wind
But she reads The Bible
She believes in the light
She thumbs through the pages
Til the Good Book smolders and ignites
She cries late at night
No one to hold her tight
Like she should be.. Cinnamindy
Hoarse and sore, her scratchy voice
Saws thru a song like a rusty cello
Now I lay me down to sleep
Lights out, time to dream
Her days are fine
She makes everybody smile
With her raspy laugh
The days are long
But she blows it all off
With a wink and a little sass
She flies like a kite...
Its her revenge
She's a stark-white Pale Horse Rider
And Hell's just around the bend
She's kids to raise
She's got bills to feed
And her pride is a higher horse
Than some bum of a man upon a steed
The handle's rough,
She works it smooth
Hardened by the pace
The handds get though and it transfers through
Before the lines can reach her face
She flies like a kite held at the other end
Tuggin; dont on her cinnamon threads
Shes shreddin' in the wind
But she reads The Bible
She believes in the light
She thumbs through the pages
Til the Good Book smolders and ignites
She cries late at night
No one to hold her tight
Like she should be.. Cinnamindy
Hoarse and sore, her scratchy voice
Saws thru a song like a rusty cello
Now I lay me down to sleep
Lights out, time to dream
Her days are fine
She makes everybody smile
With her raspy laugh
The days are long
But she blows it all off
With a wink and a little sass
She flies like a kite...
Lake Of Silver Bells lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Float from the balcony
We ride the pine top swells
Down from the old hotel
On the Lake of Silver Bells
Leading is lonely
When you're dancing through derisions
So much left for giving
In the year of the living dangerously happy
On the Lake of Silver Bells
Light flickers by
A hundred suns hehind the trees
Melts us in a lullaby
Our eyelids are like movie screens
And we close our eyes
And feel the warmth come into frame
We close our eyes
Until our dreamsbecome one and the same
So much left for giving
In the year of living dangerously happy
On the Lake of Silver Bells
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
To muffled chimes out on the lake
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
On the Lake of Silver Bells
W've reached a secret place
To rest and reconcile
We close our eyes
The only change is no change for a while
We'll buy the old hotel
And we will make this place our own
And fill each room with sons and daughters
And never be alone
[Chorus]
Looking passed the love you face
You miss the place you never had
But what you need's not just the dream
But somethings on the other end
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
You're much too fast asleep
We ride the pine top swells
Down from the old hotel
On the Lake of Silver Bells
Leading is lonely
When you're dancing through derisions
So much left for giving
In the year of the living dangerously happy
On the Lake of Silver Bells
Light flickers by
A hundred suns hehind the trees
Melts us in a lullaby
Our eyelids are like movie screens
And we close our eyes
And feel the warmth come into frame
We close our eyes
Until our dreamsbecome one and the same
So much left for giving
In the year of living dangerously happy
On the Lake of Silver Bells
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
To muffled chimes out on the lake
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
On the Lake of Silver Bells
W've reached a secret place
To rest and reconcile
We close our eyes
The only change is no change for a while
We'll buy the old hotel
And we will make this place our own
And fill each room with sons and daughters
And never be alone
[Chorus]
Looking passed the love you face
You miss the place you never had
But what you need's not just the dream
But somethings on the other end
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
You're much too fast asleep
What Have You Learned? lyrics - Carbon Leaf
What have you learned, can you remember?
What would you like for me to do?
Everything you need from me is in your hands
And everything else is up to you
You’re like a butterfly on a windy day
You use directions in a roundabout way
What have you learned,
Now that you’ve been burned
By the guy who used to be the center of your eye
And you’re blown away by your own hurricane
And you wonder why
Cast away and you’re looking through the wreckage for your pride,
But you can’t salvage what you don’t supply
What have you learned,
Now that you’ve been burned
By the girl who used to be the center of your world
Who used to be your center of gravity
And now you’re so unsure
You’re like a squirrel out in the middle of the road
You’re halfway there but don’t know which way to go
What have you learned
Now that you’ve been burned
By the one who used to be the one and only
If you could see your sinking dignity
You’re like the waves beating on the sandy shore
You swear you’ve been there once or twice before
What have you learned?
What have you learned?
What have you learned?
What have you learned, can you remember?
Now that they don’t know what to do
Now that they miss your heart of gold so badly
This is what I’d say if I were you
It’s in a treasure chest that’s buried in the sand
But the “x” does not mark the spot and I do not need a hand
And if I burst out into flames without your guidance anymore
Just scatter me across the sea and you can kiss my ashes from the shore
Nananana

Mexico lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Perhaps I’ve never tried that hard to see
A palm tree swinging lazy in the breeze
Perhaps I looked away too many times
Just ignoring all the signs
Riding high on a temporary vibe
Life and love are messy most of the time
Practical minds breeding practical lives
Leave it all behind
The ocean breeze, the palm trees, and the sunshine
Excuses that a pair of eyes can’t hide
Perhaps this paradise is my decline
Riding high on a temporary vibe
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in Mexico
We could be drinkin cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We both know what this could be or pretend that it’s not happening
Float forever, take a trip with me
Live forever in a postcard where it lives and breathes in blue and green
And roaring up a gentle breeze,
We’re riding high on a temporary vibe,
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in mexico
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We should be drinking margaritas in a foreign buena vista
And it sure is good to see you once again
A palm tree swinging lazy in the breeze
Perhaps I looked away too many times
Just ignoring all the signs
Riding high on a temporary vibe
Life and love are messy most of the time
Practical minds breeding practical lives
Leave it all behind
The ocean breeze, the palm trees, and the sunshine
Excuses that a pair of eyes can’t hide
Perhaps this paradise is my decline
Riding high on a temporary vibe
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in Mexico
We could be drinkin cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We both know what this could be or pretend that it’s not happening
Float forever, take a trip with me
Live forever in a postcard where it lives and breathes in blue and green
And roaring up a gentle breeze,
We’re riding high on a temporary vibe,
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in mexico
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We should be drinking margaritas in a foreign buena vista
And it sure is good to see you once again

We’re riding high on a temporary vibe,
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in mexico
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We should be drinking margaritas in a foreign buena vista
And it sure is good to see you once again
A palm tree swinging lazy in the breeze
Perhaps I looked away too many times
Just ignoring all the signs
Riding high on a temporary vibe
Life and love are messy most of the time
Practical minds breeding practical lives
Leave it all behind
The ocean breeze, the palm trees, and the sunshine
Excuses that a pair of eyes can’t hide
Perhaps this paradise is my decline
Riding high on a temporary vibe
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in Mexico
We could be drinkin cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We both know what this could be or pretend that it’s not happening
Float forever, take a trip with me
Live forever in a postcard where it lives and breathes in blue and green
And roaring up a gentle breeze,
We’re riding high on a temporary vibe,
Life and love are messy most of the time
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feeling, and I’d never let you go
If we were sober, we would know that this is real
Beyond a feel, I should have never let you go
Down in mexico
We could be drinking cheap tequila en the playa esquinita
And it sure is good to see the sea again
We should be drinking margaritas in a foreign buena vista
And it sure is good to see you once again
Drops Of Rain lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Drops of rain
Oh the sun wants to break
Through April just wants
Her lazy saturday
New lovers peak
From their nesting eves
Some secrets to keep
The spill out everywhere
On the corners. Out in the streets
Just a hoody affair
A sweatshirt morning everywhere
Drops of rain on the Coffee window pane
I know I won't get hooked on simple days
If ignorance is bliss my love
I never would forget
What I knew when I was young
Man, I know I can't hold on
To April drops of rain
And then come-what-may...
But its hard to look away
Life is rich, Life is rich
Only if we live through its experience
No thought for a while
Just a quick dix on a smile
Spring is spring, forever young
Its just its job... get in and out
And then its job is done...
Before Summer's born
We're caught between Human Condition frailty
Heaven and Hell, Love and Lust
Oh well... So much to learn
[Chorus]
Drops of rain flip flop belly ring
Pull back hair I really don't care
Just a hoody affair. A hoody affair
A hoody kind of thing
Drops of rain flip flop belly ring
Pull back hair walk nowhere
Just a hoody affair. A hoody affair
A hoody kind of thing
Oh the sun wants to break
Through April just wants
Her lazy saturday
New lovers peak
From their nesting eves
Some secrets to keep
The spill out everywhere
On the corners. Out in the streets
Just a hoody affair
A sweatshirt morning everywhere
Drops of rain on the Coffee window pane
I know I won't get hooked on simple days
If ignorance is bliss my love
I never would forget
What I knew when I was young
Man, I know I can't hold on
To April drops of rain
And then come-what-may...
But its hard to look away
Life is rich, Life is rich
Only if we live through its experience
No thought for a while
Just a quick dix on a smile
Spring is spring, forever young
Its just its job... get in and out
And then its job is done...
Before Summer's born
We're caught between Human Condition frailty
Heaven and Hell, Love and Lust
Oh well... So much to learn
[Chorus]
Drops of rain flip flop belly ring
Pull back hair I really don't care
Just a hoody affair. A hoody affair
A hoody kind of thing
Drops of rain flip flop belly ring
Pull back hair walk nowhere
Just a hoody affair. A hoody affair
A hoody kind of thing
Meltdown lyrics - Carbon Leaf
Hey, hey, how's it going? What you up to? How you been?
I see you're shooting ducks down in a shooting pen again
Yeah, I could use the change, I've scraped the wishing well
And I, I bought the excuse that someone's joy should be my hell
Thaw me out and warm my heart before I get consumed
By the angry bits of broken dreams in my self-inflicted wounds
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Please excuse the way I nickel and dime
It seems I spend my tender mercies all the time
Should I base my decisions on the feelings that I feel
Or base my feelings on decisions and pretend the feeling's real?
I'll wait for good times and peace to live and love
Pretty soon I'll find my time's run out and my heart's turned to dust
Cause the world keeps turning whether you live or you die
You can go it alone or leave your footprints on some hearts and minds
And sometimes they tear and sometimes they bleed
And sometimes a heart-felt whipping is just the thing you need
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in (Yeah, yeah, yeah...)
Oh, love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
I see you're shooting ducks down in a shooting pen again
Yeah, I could use the change, I've scraped the wishing well
And I, I bought the excuse that someone's joy should be my hell
Thaw me out and warm my heart before I get consumed
By the angry bits of broken dreams in my self-inflicted wounds
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Please excuse the way I nickel and dime
It seems I spend my tender mercies all the time
Should I base my decisions on the feelings that I feel
Or base my feelings on decisions and pretend the feeling's real?
I'll wait for good times and peace to live and love
Pretty soon I'll find my time's run out and my heart's turned to dust
Cause the world keeps turning whether you live or you die
You can go it alone or leave your footprints on some hearts and minds
And sometimes they tear and sometimes they bleed
And sometimes a heart-felt whipping is just the thing you need
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in (Yeah, yeah, yeah...)
Oh, love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
Love, it's in the bones
Love, it's in the blood
Love, it's in the skin
But you can't let it out if you don't let it in
