When You Miss Someone

Is the moon shining bright where you are?
Is it even shining at all?
Running like a white line down the middle of some old memory
Does the evening unfold in waves?
The desire to be nowhere or to go out and rage
Like a time when it was more than some old memory
When you miss someone
Tears you apart and then some
When you miss someone
Someone you love
Is the silence quiet or loud?
A lifetime of questions lost and profound
Professin' to a silhouette of trees on the ground here in front of me
When you miss someone
Tears you apart and then some
When you miss someone
Someone you love
Now it's here in your absence
My mind doin' backflips
Reserve tank runnin' on "E"
Enter-galactic
Into the static
Searchin' for a memory
When you miss someone
Oh, when you miss someone
When you miss someone
Tears you apart and then some
When you miss someone
Someone you love
When you miss someone
Someone you love
When you miss someone
Someone you love
Someone you love
When you miss someone

Only Thing We Need

In the morning just before the sound awakes Mother Nature walks naked in the street
And it's been some time since he sunshine rose in the same timezone
Feelin' like I haven't slept in weeks
Runnin' scared chasin' memories
Brother, don't drive fast
Hard enough to see you as it is
And when you do come back maybe it'll be more like it was
And time will be the only thing we need
Time will be the only thing we need
Can you feel the winter coming
Do you see the clouds rollin'
All of the leaves return to seeds on the ground
Swear I heard the Reaper rumblin'
Somethin' in my side achin'
All that will be's already done
All that will be's already done
Brother, don't drive fast
Hard enough to see you as it is
And when you do come back maybe it'll be more like it was
And time will be the only thing we need
Time will be the only thing we need

Tanqueray

She mainly had eyes for the summer though native to cold mountain air
She was a midnight runner
Never belonged anywhere
A war going on in a seashell
Searching for a place to belong
Living out her last days in a basement apartment with the curtains drawn
I said, it be a shame if we
Didn't take some time to see
Tanqueray on your lips then mine
Tattoo of cheap red wine tracing the smile on your face
(Oh) Tanqueray
Can I meet you one town over so my ex-husband doesn't see?
That be just the thing to get him riled up, goin' ‘round makin' more trouble for me
And I just, I just couldn't leave you, alone there, lost in some little town
Said I said, give your heart a shake and come with me now
Tanqueray on your lips then mine
Tattoo of cheap red wine tracing the smile on your face
(Oh) Tanqueray
Tanqueray
Tanqueray
There in the blur of a brand new love
Stood all that were still holdin' on
To what we deserved and what we believed all along
I said, it be a shame if we
Didn't find some way to be
Tanqueray on your lips then mine
Tattoo of cheap red wine tracing the smile on your face
Tanqueray heaven high in the pine
Take a photo for another time
Should we forget how we feel
(Oh) Tanqueray

Cover band sign me up
Play some Metallica
Lets count the times we drive by all the driveways we ain't driven by before
Can't shake what's got me shook
Turn around take another look
Holdin' on to someday and a better situation
Young hoping one day you'll grow old
Older than when it began
Hard to imagine it all now that we're free and I'm just fine
We can start over again
Nothing is out of our reach
We can be all that we dreamed when we were young
We were young
Shoulda had it all by now
According to my younger self
What ain't down on paper means nothin' in the real world
When you're...
Had a dream where I was giving blood
Hooked up to a record machine
Speaking in a fevered tongue
Staring at some desert trees
Forgetting everybody's name
Is this all that seems
All that it seems
Ain't no small victories when you're young

Broken Heart of Mine
03:52
|
|
||
|
Simple But I just don't understand
How I could find you and lose you in one lifetime
And I guess
This mess
Is all to do with me again
As you were
As I am
Like it's always been
Don't go faultin' the assembly
How I'm dealin' with this heartbreak
I'm just doin' what they taught me
With a guitar and a drink
I know there's things worse than you leavin'
But, they seldom cross my mind
Please don't judge the way I'm dealin'
With this broken heart of mine
Easy
It could be so easy
If I could just love you and not hurt you at the same time
But, choices
Selfish choices
Leave me wonderin' where you've been
And leave you as you were
As I am
Time and time again
Don't go faultin' the assembly
How I'm dealin' with this heartbreak
I'm just doin' what they taught me
With a guitar and a drink
There's a chance that I might change still
Should the good Lord give me grace and will
But for now one more drink one more pill
And this broken heart of mine
Don't go faultin' the assembly
How I'm dealin' with this heartbreak
I'm just doin' what they taught me
With a guitar and a drink
Thinkin' I should finally move on
Find better use for my time
Maybe get around to dealin'
With this broken heart of mine
Gettin' tired of this feelin'
And this broken heart of mine

Pasadena

Looking for somethin' just to tide me over
No streetlights on
East Nashville in September
Tarot cards for sale on the sidewalk chalkboard
Buzz into the apartment
What would come the night I'll always remember
We went past Pasadena
Set up camp ‘round Mexico
Honey, I can't go back to Kansas
If I don't have you in my arms
Smokey says the Tavern's on fire ‘bout time someone burned it down
‘round here there's horseshoes in the highways helpin' truckers make it to town
Knew a girl with fireworks in her fingers each tooth a gem in her mouth
I was East and she was West probably best that it never worked out
We went past Pasadena
Set up camp ‘round Mexico
Honey, I can't go back to Kansas
If I don't have you in my arms
Thought I knew love I's dead wrong
You ain't this town or some country song
Ain't always right but to be fair you ain't always wrong
We went past Pasadena
Set up camp ‘round Mexico
Honey, I can't go back to Kansas
If I don't have you in my arms

She's a movie you leave on
Cactus Flower Goldie Hawn
Mercy in the way she talks
Easy answers sweet surrender
Feels like the sweet surrender of love
She's a record on the table
Reckless Daughter Joni Mitchell
Grace inside the way she carries
A willing heart that still surrenders
Sounds like the sweet surrender of love
She's a picture in the gallery
Music, Pink and Blue Georgia O'Keefe
See her timeless modern beauty
On display when she surrenders
Looks like the sweet surrender of love
She's a flower on the ledge
Yellow Zinnia, Black-eyed Susan
Watch her grow into herself
Give her attention sweet surrender
Live in the sweet surrender of love
She's a movie you leave on
Fleur de cactus Goldie Hawn

Easier and Harder

Love's a situation
Manifestation
Representation of what we like in someone
Who might go the distance
Be blowin' in the wind with
Beginning and the end
Over and over again
The truth about love
It don't come all at once
It gets easier and harder all the time
If you don't give up when pushin' comes to shove
It gets easier and harder all the time
Easier and harder all the time
Well, the house that you build
Will stand for much longer
Leave your ego outside
Makes the foundation stronger
If you learn to compromise it'll spare you some hell
Honey, we just might make it
In spite of ourselves
The truth about love
It don't come all at once
It gets easier and harder all the time
If you don't give up when pushin' comes to shove
It gets easier and harder all the time
Easier and harder all the time

Peace of Mind

You can't put a price on peace of mind
No you can't put a price on peace of mind
You will come to a crossroad sometime in your life
But you can't put a price on peace of mind
I don't need a mansion on Wellington
So long as I a mansion on the hill
Spare me my eyesight, a voice and hands that till
And I will build my mansion on the hill
You can't put a price on peace of mind
No you can't put a price on peace of mind
You will come to a crossroad sometime in your life
But you can't put a price on peace of mind
I don't need a Chevrolet to get around
A rocket with some stickers on the side
Give me my bare feet and I'll walk door to door
And stand in the joy where I've never stood before
I will stand in the joy
I will stand in the joy
You can't put a price on peace of mind
No you can't put a price on peace of mind
You will come to a crossroad sometime in your life
But you can't put a price on peace of mind

Take a Look Around

There's a time in the spring when it's still cold but not as it was once was
And I go for a stroll and say hello to every new thing coming up
Older than me, cracks in the street, bark on the trees is glistenin' with sunshine
I can feel the heat on my skin
Can't believe I woke up again
But I believe it now
Just take a look around
There's a woman in bed, with nothing on and she's laying next to me
And when she wakes up I oughta be more like who she loved when we first met
Heaven and earth, they'd wait for her, diamonds and pearls, no, they don't mean anything
When she would place her hands on my skin
Calm the fear I held within
I'd be lost without her now
She had me take a look around
There's a kid in the yard, wild and free, not as young as he was once was
And I hope he grows into someone that he truly loves
Light in the heart, courageous and sharp, knows how to roll with the punches
I hope he knows when he's done wrong
I hope he feels me when I'm gone
Cause it won't be long now
So take a good look around
No, it won't be long now
So take a good look around
