Day: October 7, 2016

Chris Lane:

I can already see it coming
The way you’re two drinks in
And you’re spinning ’round on the floor
I ain’t sure what you’re sipping
But I’m sure you’re sipping something
That’ll get you rolling the dice
To see if I’m still yours

Cause when it starts rolling off your lips
Baby I’m all in

You say it all when you say that you miss me
Say my name when you lean into kiss me
You play it off and blame it on the whiskey
Cause you’re feeling all tipsy
It’s game over when you cross that line
I lose every time

When you start drinking
Thats when you get to thinking of
Swinging right back into my arms
Girl, I can’t shake it, No I can’t take it
When you start playing drinking games with my heart

You pull my shirt and you get a little closer
With the buzz in your eyes and the smell of lies on your breath
Girl you and I know you would never do it sober
But all it takes is one too many for you to forget

And even though I’ll never win
Baby here we go again

You say it all when you say that you miss me
Say my name when you lean into kiss me
You play it off and blame it on the whiskey
Cause you’re feeling all tipsy
It’s game over when you cross that line
I lose every time

When you start drinking
Thats when you get to thinking of
Swinging right back into my arms
Girl, I can’t shake it, No I can’t take it
When you start playing drinking games with my heart
You say it all when you say that you miss me
Say my name when you lean into kiss me
You play it off and blame it on the whiskey
Cause you’re feeling all tipsy
It’s game over when you cross that line
I lose every time

When you start drinking
Thats when you get to thinking of
Swinging right back into my arms
Girl, I can’t shake it, No I can’t take it
When you start playing drinking games with my heart

You can tell when I’m a little bit lonely
I know myself and I’m giving in slowly
You pour it strong, sip it all night long

(Then ya get what you want and you’re gone in the morning)

[Chorus]
I’d love you, love you, angel
If my feet weren’t on the ground
I’d put my halo on and sing
But they took my wings
And the devil just cuts me down
I’d love you, love you, angel
If my feet weren’t on the ground
I’d put my halo on and sing
But they took my wings
And the devil just cuts me down
Just cuts me down
Just cuts me down
The devil just cuts me down

[Verse 1]
I guess you clipped your wings on words that gravity sings
But you owe me no favors if you tell me no lies
I guess I cut my teeth on girls with colder hearts
But you don’t need no saviour
[Pre-Chorus]
We walk, we walk with your heels in hand
We talk, we talk ’bout your new band
By the time we got south of the river
You started to land

[Chorus]
I’d love you, love you, angel
If my feet weren’t on the ground
I’d put my halo on and sing
But they took my wings
And the devil just cuts me down
I’d love you, love you, angel
If my feet weren’t on the ground
I’d put my halo on and sing
But they took my wings
And the devil just cuts me down
Just cuts me down

[Breakdown]

[Verse 2]
I guess I’ll wash your feet with lies I never said
While you’re walking on water there’s a cloud on my head
In the pouring rain with an 808 in my chest
I confess I should’ve never let you down here

[Pre-Chorus]
We walk, we walk with your heels in hand
We talk, we talk ’bout your new band
By the time we got south of the river
You started to land

[Chorus]
I’d love you, love you, angel
If my feet weren’t on the ground
I’d put my halo on and sing
But they took my wings
And the devil just cuts me down
I’d love you, love you, angel
If my feet weren’t on the ground
I’d put my halo on and sing
But they took my wings
And the devil just cuts me down
Just cuts me down

[Breakdown]

[Outro]
I’d love you, love you angel
Angel
Angel
Angel
I’d love you, love you angel
Angel
Angel
Devil just cuts me down, just cuts me down

[Verse 1]
I used to hear the voices through the thin walls
Tension building up and I’d feel so small
Some nights I’d hide under the pillows ’cause I didn’t know what else to do
Started singing just to get some attention
A melody to cut through the addiction
And every song I made turned into wishes
Some of them came true

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone rises, everyone falls
Everyone spends some nights alone
Rich or for poor
I’m always yours
You never left me on my own
[Chorus]
Tell me who, who would I be without you?
No matter how much we lose
Every time I bet my life on you

[Verse 2]
We were never rich not even thousands
Mom was on her knees cleaning houses
I used to go to work with her some days
And dream and dance in the big hallways

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone’s scared, everyone’s scarred
Everyone spends some nights alone
But every high, every low
You never left me on my own

[Chorus]
Tell me who, who would I be without you?
No matter how much we lose
Every time I bet my life on you

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me who, would I be without you?
Nothing I’d rather do
Every night I bet my life on you
Who would I be without you?

[Bridge]
Went on the road to make my daddy proud
But I lost him and then I sang to the crowd
My only hope is that he’s looking down thinking
“Oh my God, my daughter’s doing it now”

[Chorus]
Tell me who, who would I be without you?
No matter how much we lose
Every time I bet my life on you

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me who, would I be without you?
Nothing I’d rather do
Every night I bet my life on you
Who would I be without you?

the daylight only slowly dries
sweat of a restless night
the only cloud up in the sky
rushes out of sight

not even all the satellites
can tell me where I am
but just around the corner lies
another brand new life

another town another try
cold blazing sunshine hurts my eyes
I slowly check if I still breathe
I’m just a man in the street

not even all the satellites
can tell me where I am
but just around the corner shines
another brand new life

while we still wondering where our soul might be
or all the key-points of infinity

so desperately we try to conquer time
while you just try to forget
hatred and crime

under the showers of the blackest rain
you wash away the memories of pain

the sound of water running in the night
fills you with fear that this might be
an endless fight

as you’re descending from that man-made hill
you can’t avoid the rising of a chill

always the same place you are heading to
remembering times someone was waiting there
for you

Sliding gently down
without touching ground

you keep my soul from drying-out
you keep my mind from drowning
in agony

Flashing my darkest night
faithful, bright satellite

you keep my soul from drying-out
you keep my mind from drowning
in agony

with you time slows down
wearing space like a gown

you keep my soul from drying-out
you keep my mind from drowning
in agony

I know, I know that it hurts to
melt away that wØx on your soul
search for the center of balance
and bring things back under your control
(your control)
(ain’t no stroll)

like even big stones are conquered
by the eternal force of time
you wouldn’t put your fate into the hands of
things like temples churches or shrines
(read the signs)
(between the lines)
(crack the shrines)

if you want to believe into something
why don’t you believe into yourself?

And even if you still don’t believe it
it’s up to you and no-one else

(no-one else)
(but yourself)
(be yourself)

your scent – still in this house
invisible evidence

your voice – halled in this rooms
fading away now into empty skies

your atoms – once in this rooms
slipping through the fingers of time

the wind – with its persistence
the cold – with its freezing hand

brought back – back to nothing
an empire that was made of sand

rain – casts no shadows
rain – casts no shame

from the day to the mountain
from the night to the sea
from whenever I’m going
to wherever I might be

be my guardian angel
for another twenty years

from my trip to Orion
to the things I have done
from wherever I’m hiding
to the place in the sun

be my guardian angel
for another forty years

Thanks to brahms for submitting these lyrics.

the voices slipping through the door
they’re circling ’round the solid wall
they’re whispering gently in the room
and all beyond the shady hall

and they are piercing my soul
they’re seeping into all of my pores

where are they going, what are they saying
whom are they hiding from
is it the shame, is it the past
or the splendour of the sun?

They are our oath of love
neglected in a corner of my heart

still it’s her sweet voice that I can hear
still her sad songs seem to be so near
floating in my ear
and then they disappear

but what they need is a new sound or even noise
so that they can fill the skies
they need some bone chilling air
but surely not the silence of the night

They are our oath of love
neglected in some corner of my heart

still it’s her sweet voice that I can hear
still her sad songs seem to be so near
floating in my ear
and then they disappear

3’o clock I know you oh so well
You’re the hour of achings and of spells

My soul sounds like a rumbling stone
I can’t stand the sound of how it groans

Our shadow is as mean as we are good
The universe expanding as it should

Tonight my spirit is my only friend
I hope he will not leave me in the end

A part of me is digging in the past
The other one keeps running forward fast

Our shadow is as mean as we are good
The universe expanding as it should

And I wonder what it feels like to be me

You know that we are only a brood
Pretending to be clever and acute

But we are just a shout in empty space
Try to give eternity a face

Our shadow is as mean as we are good
The universe expanding as it should

And I wonder what it feels like to be me

So we got a little careless-
And we broke our bones
I said “johhny it’s the last time”
In my last love note

And when I cracked your Rolex
You went and grabbed my throat
My baby baby blue eyes
Looked so cold

We break all the dishes
I think there’ve been fifty
We say we just love the sex
And keeping it risky

Ahh
I come back every time
Ahh
Now I’m out of my mind
Ahh
I come back every time
Ahh
Now I’m out of my mind
I said johhny it’s the last time
I said johhny it’s the last time
I said johhny it’s the last time

So we got a little careless
So we called it off
I get fixated
On the schemes and plots

I’ll make you be the one begging
So I could call the shots
It’s a power tactic
Daddy you had taught

We break all the dishes
I think there’ve been fifty
We say we just love the sex
And keeping it risky

Ahh
I come back every time
Ahh
Now I’m out of mind
Ahh
I come back every time
Ahh
Now I’m out of my mind
I said johhny it’s the last time
johhny it’s the last time
johhny it’s the last time

They could tear this house down brick by brick
But we won’t even miss a thing
They said we’d never make it but our hearts won’t quit
A never ending fantasy

We could be royalty, king and queen of nowhere
Lose it all, everything
As long as we got you and I, you and me
They can tear this whole house down
All we have is love
All we have is love
All we have is love, love
When shadows and demons are chasing
There’s no limit in our heart ’til we break it
‘Cause all we have is love, love

We don’t need a dream to be wide awake
When every day is ecstasy
We won’t let the stars cross, change our fate
It’s heaven when you’re next to me

We could be royalty, king and queen of nowhere
Lose it all, everything
As long as we got you and I, you and me
They can tear this whole house down

All we have is love
All we have is love
All we have is love, love
When shadows and demons are chasing
There’s no limit in our heart ’til we break it
‘Cause all we have is love, love

They could tear this house down brick by brick
But we won’t even miss a thing
They said we’d never make it but our hearts won’t quit
A never ending fantasy

All we have is love
All we have is love
All we have is love, love
When shadows and demons are chasing
There’s no limit in our heart ’til we break it
‘Cause all we have is love
‘Cause all we have is love
‘Cause all we have is love, love

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin’ feelin’ like Rocky
Back to myself, yeah I’m motherfuckin’ cocky
If I take off all the chains we can play a little hockey
You know we playin’ with the chop sticks,shit will have you leakin’ saki
Let me tell you bout the story from Huaraches to Versaces
My partner pulled up, I had to shove it up it up habachi
Two bones on the side, yeah you know a little broccoli
Choppers in the car, got my own paparazzi
Stars on the ceilin’, confidence is on a trillion
Where them bad bitches at? Let me know you in the buildin’
Last time I hit the county, shit my bail was a million
Last time I hit the club, shit I could have bought the buildin’
I’m bout to hit ’em with the sauce, sauce they ass for a minute
Like my Philly nigga said get in my bag for a minute
[Hook]
They like “where you been Young? Shit was bad for a minute”
All them clown niggas winnin’, shit was sad for a minute but
I’ma make these niggas get on they shit dog
If nothin’ else I can write a hit though
I’ma need five bricks for the show dog
Plus another 20k just for fun dog
I’ve done had about all I can take dog
I’ma show you how to kill ’em when they hate dog
Sometime ya gotta let a nigga know dog
Sometime ya gotta fuck a nigga hoe dog
You nigga gonna learn who to fuck with
Y’all hoes gon miss me with the fuck shit

[Verse 2]
Took it out the bag, mixed it with the yellow box
Went to sleep woke up in a yellow watch
Do better, and these niggas gon’ hate more
You keep it solid, and these niggas gon’ flake more
Super nigga music, need a cape hoe
Nine piece in the stove, been a day ho
And I don’t fuck around with too many rap niggas
Reason bein’ I don’t fuck around with cap niggas
See the problem is there way too many plug niggas
Which in turn means there ain’t enough drug dealers
This for my niggas in the trenches with the four eight
Still sleepin’ with the toolie by the doorway

[Hook]
They like “where you been Young? Shit was bad for a minute”
All them clown niggas winnin’, shit was sad for a minute but
I’ma make these niggas get on they shit dog
If nothin’ else I can write a hit dog
I’ma need five bricks for the show dog
Plus another 20k just for fun dog
I’ve done had about all I can take dog
I’ma show you how to kill ’em when they hate dog
Sometime ya gotta let a nigga know dog
Sometime ya gotta fuck a nigga hoe dog

[Verse 3]
Niggas envy, I can see it in they eye dog
Type of nigga to sit and wait on your demise dog
Couldn’t walk a mile, they ain’t (?) dog
I’ma show what you been like surprise dog
You ho ass niggas can’t stop shit
You ho ass niggas ain’t bout shit
You know we brought out all the chains for the gold diggers
And we brought out all things for the ho niggas
You gettin’ money in this motherfucker, what it do?
Got a pocket full of hundreds and I know they blue
Hard dick and bubble gum, no pillow talk
And I ain’t gotta say much, I let the skrilla talk
Valet out front for a tank nigga
And I’m actin’ like my shit don’t stank nigga
The general, P Miller on the tank nigga
Y’all bout to make me start pullin’ rank nigga

[Hook]
I’ma make these niggas get on they shit dog
If nothin’ else I can write a hit dog
I’ma need five bricks for the show dog
Plus another 20k just for fun dog
I’ve done had about all I can take dog
I’ma show you how to kill ’em when they hate dog
Sometime ya gotta let a nigga know dog
Sometime ya gotta fuck a nigga hoe dog

[Verse 1]
So sweet
I’m lost in it
[?]
I can’t keep it in my pocket
Your soul speaks to me in the sand(?)
I think we’re meant to be alive

[Chorus x2]
Stand up and shout
You got the world at your feet
You’ve just got to work it out
[Verse 2]
We could start again
I wish we could settle in the sunlight
My soul speaks to you in the sand
I think we’re meant to be alive

[Chorus x2]
Stand up and shout
You got the world at your feet
You’ve just got to work it out

[Bridge]
Live and learn
Learn to live
Live and learn
Learn to live
Live and learn
Learn to live
Live and learn
Learn to live

[Chorus x2]
Stand up and shout
You got the world at your feet
You’ve just got to work it out

[Verse 1]
I can’t just sit around feeling upset
Dwelling on my loneliness
Maybe if I step out
Go get some sun
Maybe today I’ll get something done
Kick off the covers
But I don’t move
Even though I know what to do

[Chorus]
I gotta sing it out, sing it all to myself
There’s no one to run to
There’s a voice inside of me
And it’s time to listen
[Verse 2]
I wanna be swallowed up
An ocean of love
That’s all I keep thinking of
But I can’t make the water move
Water moves on its own
Gotta be okay for a while alone
Look out the window, feeling nothing
Wish I knew how to come up for air
But when I can’t see the light
And I wanna hide
When I feel like I’m losing my mind

[Chorus]
I gotta sing it out, sing it all to myself
There’s no one to run to
There’s a voice inside of me
And it’s time to listen

[Bridge]
I’m so tired and I know why I spent too long
Trying to change all these thing I can’t control
And now I finally let it go
Watch the sky open up and turn the fall into a dive
See that I’m gonna be just fine

Al I want is to feel strong
Well I know who I can count on

[Chorus]
I gotta sing it out, sing it all to myself
There’s no one to run to
There’s a voice inside of me
And it’s time to listen

[Chorus]
You gotta sing it out, sing it all to yourself
There’s no one to run to
There’s a voice inside of you
And it’s time to listen

[Verse 1]
Love ain’t just black and white
Ain’t that simple
It gets hard to tell whose wrong or right
When Its dark with us
I swear I barely see the light
Should I stick it out?
Are you worth this fight?
Are we worth this fight?
Cuz I ain’t no quitter babe
And I be damned if all these years I let you diss me babe
I was there when no one wanted to stay with you baby
You know I deserve more than this
I do

[Chorus]
So tell me who
Who’s gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now we’re in the thick of it
So tell me
Who’s gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now were in the
Now we’re in the thick of it
[Verse 2]
What a hell of a year
If I make it through hell and I come out alive I got nothing to fear
No more crying and trying
And bring back this loving when nothing is here
Let me be clear
I wasn’t perfect
But this shit ain’t worth it
I’m done with the mess
I confess on the stress
And I know Ima look back and call it a blessing
Cuz I ain’t no quitter babe
But I be damned if all these years I let you diss me babe
I was there when no one wanted to stay with you baby
You know I deserve more than this
I do

[Chorus]
So tell me who
Who’s gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now we’re in the thick of it
So tell me who
Who’s gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now we’re in the
We’re in the thick of it

[Bridge]
Boy you had someone who really loved you
(boy you had someone who really loved you)
Should have held on held on real tight now
(held on tight)
And she placed no other one above you
(and she placed no one above you)
But you didn’t want to treat her right now
Should’ve let her go
Should’ve let her go
Oh no oh, oh no oh
Now I’m letting go
Now I’m letting go
Oh no oh, oh no oh

[Chorus]
So tell me who
Who’s gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now we’re in the thick of it
So tell me who
Who’s gonna love
You like I do
Who will you trust
I gave you too much
Enough is enough
Now we’re in the
We’re in the thick of it

[Verse 1: Twin Shadow]
These days burn fast
Got to make a good thing last
But it’s hard when you feel alone
And you came and you let me go
From the first sign
I belonged to your song
But your sound is getting cold
And you came and you left me

[Chorus: Twin Shadow]
I keep havin’ these… stardust memories
Thinkin’ about the way it used to be
And you came and you let me go
You keep havin’ those… stardust memories
Talkin’ about the love you took from me
And you came and you let me
[Refrain: Twin Shadow]
I keep havin’ these
Stardust, stardust
Stardust, stardust
I keep havin’ these
Stardust, stardust
Stardust, stardust

[Chorus: Twin Shadow]
Stardust memories
Thinkin’ about the way it used to be
You keep havin’ those… stardust memories
Talkin’ about the love you took from me

[Verse 2: Twin Shadow]
Cover up the bad parts that you see
Coverin’ up, second guessin’ all your confidence in me
I’ve been overthinkin’ now everything that you say
Cruisin’ on lately, knockin’ me so far down here every day
Listen to me cry alone, I need to pray
It’s amazin’ how you warn
I couldn’t let it go when you slipped out of my room
It’s everything you do, it makes melodies
It’s everything you do, makes memories

[Chorus: Twin Shadow]
Stardust memories
Thinkin’ about the way it used to be
You keep havin’ those… stardust memories
Talkin’ about the love you took from me

[Refrain: Twin Shadow]
Stardust
Stardust, stardust
Stardust
I keep havin’ these
Stardust
Stardust, stardust

[Verse 3: Twin Shadow]
These things don’t last
Even when the hard times pass
You present me with solid gold
When you love what is not your soul
From the first night
I was wrong, I belonged to a song that’s getting old
But you came and you left me

[Chorus: Twin Shadow]
I keep havin’ these… stardust memories
Thinkin’ about the way it used to be
And you came and you let me go
You keep havin’ those… stardust memories
Talkin’ about the love you took from me
And you came and you let me

[Refrain: Twin Shadow]
I keep havin’ these
Stardust, stardust
Stardust, stardust
I keep havin’ these
Stardust, stardust
Stardust

[Chorus: Twin Shadow]
Stardust memories
Thinkin’ about the way it used to be
Stardust, stardust
Stardust memories
Talkin’ about the love you took from me

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Refrain: Twin Shadow]
Stardust
Stardust, stardust
Stardust
I keep havin’ these
Stardust
Stardust, stardust

[Verse 1]
Scared of little bit my old ways
(My old ways)
Stuck on this one way train roll
(One way train roll)
And I can’t find the brakes
(And I can’t find the brakes)
Taking me where I don’t know
(Don’t know)

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I’m alone
So far from home
A stranger looking back
I don’t know where to go
[Chorus]
Till I see your light on
Till I see your light on
Till I see your light on

[Breakdown]
Till I see your light on
Till I see your light on

[Verse 2]
Follow you through the haze
(Follow you through the haze)
Pebbles tap on your window
Feel the cold on my face
(On my face)
I don’t wanna hear you say no

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I’m alone
So far from home
A stranger looking back
I don’t know where to go

[Chorus]
Till I see your light on
Till I see your light on
Till I see your light on

[Breakdown]
Till I see your light on
Till I see your light on
