🎹 Lyrics That Hit The Spot

You're the muse to my song
I should've known it all along
That forever was a promise you couldn't keep
My first mistake was believing that you would stay
When I know every good damn thing it fades

So talk to me, tell me what I need to hear
Wrap me up with your beautiful lies
And I know you're leavin', yeah you're standing at that door
And I can see the heartbreak in your eyes
So keep on telling me those beautiful lies

No, I won't beg you to stay
No, not that you would anyway
 
So what am I supposed to, unlisten to every song written?
Take you out of every melody?
You know my secrets, my demons, and I know your weaknesses
All of your doubts and your dreams
 
Turning back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same?
Now the thing that I call living
Is just being satisfied
With knowing I got no one left to blame
 
I'm gonna get out on the road tonight
Because I got a hollow in my head
I'm just checking it up
Baby, one more time for you
Checking it up until the pile hits the sky
It's like I think I'm sick of cocaine
But I got a feeling like it's running in my veins
 
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone to stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love, because
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey, baby
 
Yea look at that jerk-off jerk
He's a real piece of work
Rolling and smoking cheap tobacco
He ain't nothing but a loud-mouth wacko
Fuck that guy yea fuck that guy
It ought to be a crime
He ain't no friend of mine fuck that guy
 
...And I'm the one who oughta know
I'm the one left in the dust
Yeah I'm the broken hearted fool
Who was never quite enough
I'm an insider, I been burned by the fire
And I've had to live with some hard promises
I've crawled through the briars
I'm an insider
 
… Days may come and days may go

But they will never get together

What I’ve been here for

Cause I’m the Drifter…
 
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way.
 
I can't stop the rain
But I will keep you dry
If the shore feels far away
I'll be by your side
When the storms arise
I will shelter you
When your sky is gray
I will give you blue

I can't move a mountain
I am just a man
I can't undo what's said
But I will understand
And although it may hurt
Baby, I'll tell you the truth
'Cause when your sky is grayed
I will give you blue

I can't stop the rain
But I will wipe your tears
I wish I could take what hurts you
And make it disappear
But I can't work no miracles
But I'll do what I can do
When your sky is gray
Baby, I will give you blue

When your sky is gray
I will give you blue
Give you blue
I will give you blue
Give you blue
I will give you blue
 
As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me

I am trying not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
And so I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
 
Here's not to dreams that don't come true
Here's not to what was me and you
Here's not to all the day's gone by
And to the truth that lived a lie

Dreams are dreams
Will alas come true
Skies will clear leaving me bright and blue
I will raise my glass to my heart and say
"Here's to tomorrow, not yesterday"
 
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All I'll be
 
My baby whispers in my ear
Mm, sweet nothin's (yea)
He knows the things I like to hear
Mm, sweet nothin's
Things he wouldn't tell nobody else
Secret baby, I keep 'em to myself
Sweet nothin's
Mm, sweet nothin's
 
Living life is just a game so they say
All the games we used to play fade away

We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago
Oh my darling
Got to have you
Feel the magic
When I hold you

Cry sweet tears of joy
Touch the sky
 
And I feel like a nuisance in my own damn mind
When I speak, you say it's too much
When I scream, you say I've lost my mind

Love is patient, love is kind
Should not make you lose your mind
There's got to be more to this than bein' pissed off
All the time
 
Alo-lo-lone (I miss you)
Alo-lo-lone (I miss you, so much)

I'm so vain, I can't look away
I'm so vain, I can't look again
We hit play, feels like yesterday
That we hit play, now that's all gone away
Lemme, lemme see what we got
Tell me, tell me where do we stop?
Everything is falling apart
Same shit that kept us apart (I've been gone too long)

This bruise ain't black, it's yellow (I've been gone too long)
My sweet heart breaks, so be careful
But this pain ain't red, now it's a yellow
My sweet heart sings out like a devil
This bruise ain't black, it's yellow (I've been gone too long)
(I miss you)
I've been gone too long

Alo-lo-lone (I miss you)

Springtime comes and the leaves are back on the trees again
The snipers are harder to see my friend
Weeding out your weekends
 
What will you do?
Make a stone of your heart?
Will you set things right?
When you tear them apart?
Will you sleep at night?
With the plough and the stars alight?

What will you do?
With the wire and the gun?
That'll set things right
When it's said and done?
Will you sleep at night?
Is there so much love to hide?
 
"Let Him Roll"

He's a wino, tried and true.
Done about everything there is to do.
He worked on freighters, he worked in bars.
He worked on farms, 'n he worked on cars.

It was white port, that put that look in his eye
That grown men get when they need to cry
And he sat down on the curb to rest
And his head just fell down on his chest

He said "Every single day it gets
A little bit harder to handle and yet..."
And he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered
And the words just rolled off down in the gutter

Well he was elevator man in a cheap hotel
In exchange for the rent on a one room cell
He's old in years beyond his time
Thanks to the world, and the white Port wine

So he says "Son," he always called me son
He said, "Life for you has just begun"
And he told me a story that I heard before
How he fell in love with a Dallas whore

Well he could cut through the years to the very night
When it ended, in a whore house fight
And she turned his last proposal down
In favor of being a girl about town

Now it's been seventeen years right in line
And he ain't been straight none of the time
Too many days of fightin' the weather
And too many nights of not being together

So he died...

Well when they went through his personal affects
In among the stubs from the welfare checks
Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door
An address in Dallas, and nothin' more

The welfare people provided the priest
A couple from the mission down the street
Sang Amazing Grace, and no one cried
'Cept some woman in black, way off to the side

We all left and she was standing there
Black veil covering her silver hair
And 'ol One-Eyed John said her name was Alice
And she used to be a whore in Dallas

Let him roar, Lord let him roll

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do

I will be strong, I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on...
