Well take me
back down
Where cool water
flows yeah
Let me remember
things I love
Stoppin' at the log
where catfish bite
Walkin' along
the river road
At night
barefoot girls
Dancin' in
the moonlight
I can hear
the bullfrog
Callin' me
wonder if my rope's
Still hangin'
to the tree
Love to kick
my feet way down
The shallow water
shoefly dragonfly
Get back your mother
pick up a flat rock
Skip it across
Green River well-

Up at cody's camp
I spent my days
With flat car
riders and
Cross-tie walkers
old cody junior
Took me over
said you're gonna
Find the world
is smouldrin
And if you get lost
come on home
To Green River
well-

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would
change forever
Saw you standing there
I didn't know I cared
There was
something special
In the air
dreams are my reality
The only kind of
real fantasy
Illusions are
a common thing
I try to live
in dreams
It seems as
if it's meant to be
Dreams are
my reality
A different kind
of reality
I dream of loving
in the night
And loving
seems alright
Although
it's only fantasy-

If you do exist
honey don't resist
Show me a new way
of loving
Tell me that it's true
show me what to do
I feel
something special
About you
dreams are my reality
The only kind
of reality
Maybe my foolishness
has past
And maybe now at last
I'll see
How a real thing
can be
Dreams are
my reality
A wonderous world
where I like to be
I dream of holding you
all night
And holding you
seems right
Perhaps that's
my reality-

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would
change forever
Tell me that it's true
feelings that are cue
I feel
something special
About you
dreams are my reality
A wonderous world
where I like to be
Illusions are
a common thing
I try to live
in dreams
Although
it's only fantasy
Dreams are
my reality
I like to dream of you
close to me
I dream of loving
in the night
And loving you
seems right
Perhaps that's
my reality-

Love of my life
you've hurt me
You've broken my heart
and now you leave me
Love of my life
can't you see
Bring it back
bring it back
Don't take it away
from me because
You don't know
what it means to me
Love of my life
don't leave me
You've taken my love
you now desert me
Love of my life
can't you see
Bring it back
bring it back
Don't take it away
from me because
You don't know
what it means to me-

You will remember when
this is blown over
And everything's
all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there
At your side
to remind you
How I still love you
I still love you-

Back hurry back
please bring it back
Home to me because
you don't know
What it means to me
love of my life
Love of my life
ooh-

Take the ribbon
from your hair
Shake it loose and
let it fall
Laying soft upon
my skin
Like the shadows
on the wall
Come and lay down
by my side
Till the early
morning light
All I'm asking
is your time
Help me make it
through the night
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend
Yesterday
is dead and gone
And tomorrow's
out of sight
And it's sad
to be alone
Help me make it
through the night.
I don't care
who's right or wrong
I don't try
to understand
Let the devil
take tomorrow
Lord tonight
I need a friend

Georgia wrap me up
in all your
I want you in my arms
oh let me hold you
I'll never
let you go again
Like I did
oh I used to say
I would never
fall in love again
Until
I found her
I said
I would never fall
Unless
it's you I fall into
I was lost
within the darkness
But then I found her
I found you
Georgia pulled me in
I asked to
Love her once again
you fell I caught you
I'll never
let you go again
Like I did
oh I used to say
I would never
fall in love again
Until
I found her
I said
I would never fall
Unless
it's you I fall into
I was lost
within the darkness
But then I found her
I found you
I would never
fall in love again
Until
I found her
I said
I would never fall
Unless
it's you I fall into
I was lost
within the darkness
But then I found her
I found you

This is gonna
hurt
But I blame myself
first
'Cause I ignored
the truth
Drunk off of that love
my head up
There's no forgetting
you
You've awoken me
but you're choking me
I was so obsessed
gave you all of me
And now honestly
I got nothing left
I loved you
dangerously
More than the air
that I breathe
Knew we would crash
at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Baby I loved you
dangerously mmm mmm
I loved you
dangerously
Usually
I hold the power
With both my hands
tied behind my back
Look at
how things changed
'Cause now you're
the train
And I'm tied
to the track
You've awoken me
but you're choking me
I was so obsessed
gave you all of me
And now honestly
I got nothing left
'Cause I loved you
dangerously
More than the air
that I breathe
Knew we would crash
at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Baby I loved you
dangerously
You took me down down
down down
And kissed my lips
with goodbye
I see it now now
now now
It was a matter
of time
You know
I know
There's only one place
this could lead
But you are the fire
and I'm gasoline
I love you I love you
I love you
I loved you
dangerously
Woo more than the air
that I breathe
Oh now knew we would
crash at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Oh oh baby I loved you
dangerously mmm mmm
Woo I loved you
dangerously
Woo I loved you
dangerously

I will not make
the same mistakes
That you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart
so much misery
I will not break
the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned
The hard way
to never let it
Get that far
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not
too long
Before you point
it out
I cannot cry
because I know
That's weakness
in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
a smile a laugh
Everyday of my life
my heart can't
Possibly break
when it wasn't
Even whole
to start with
Because of you
I never stray
Too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it
Hard to trust
not only me
But everyone around me
because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
every night
In your sleep
I was so young
You should have
known better
Than to lean on me
you never thought
Of anyone else
you just saw your pain
And now I cry
in the middle
Of the night
for the same
Damn thing
because of you
I never stray too far
from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest
Just to forget
everything
Because of you
I don't know how to
Let anyone else in
because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
because of you

I should've known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
that the blood
You bleed is
just the blood you owe
We were a pair
but I saw you there
Too much to bear
you were my life
But life is far away
from fair
Was I stupid
to love you
Was I reckless
to help
Was it obvious
to everybody else
That I'd fallen
for a lie
You were never
on my side
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die
I let it
burn
You're no longer
my concern
Faces
from my past return
Another lesson yet
to learn
That I'd fallen
for a lie
You were never
on my side
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die
No time to die
no time to die
Fool me once
fool me twice
Are you death
or paradise
Now you'll never
see me cry
There's just
no time to die

Uhm uhm
uhm uh uhm uhm
Some people live
for the fortune
Some people live
just for the fame
Some people live
for the power yeah
Some people live
just to play the game
Some people think that
the physical things
Define
what's within
And I been
there before
But that
life's a bore
So full
of the superficial
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you yeah
Some people search
for a fountain
That promises
forever young
Some people need
three dozen roses
And that's
the only way
To prove you love him
hand me the world
On a silver platter
and what
Good would it be
with no one to share
With no one who truly
cares for me
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you you you
Some people
want it all
But I don't want
nothing at all
If it ain't
you baby
If I ain't got
you baby
Some people want
diamond rings
Some just want
everything
But everything
means nothing
If I ain't got
you yeah-
If I ain't got you
with me baby uh
Woo see nothing
in this
Whole wide world
don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you
with me baby-

First things first
I'ma say
All the words
inside my head
I'm fired up
and tired of
The way that things
have been oh woo
The way that things
have been oh woo
Second things second
don't you tell me
What you think
that I could be
I'm the one
at the sail
I'm the master
of my sea oh woo
The master
of my sea oh woo
I was broken
from a young age
Taking my sulking
to the masses
Writing my poems
for the few
That look at me
took to me
Shook to me
feeling me
Singing from heartache
from the pain
Taking my message
from the veins
Speaking my lesson
from the brain
Seeing the beauty
through the
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Third things third
send a prayer
To the ones
up above
All the hate
that you've heard has
Turned your spirit
to a dove oh woo
Your spirit up above
oh woo
I was choking
in the crowd
Building my rain up
in the cloud
Falling like ashes
to the ground
Hoping my feelings
they would drown
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Last things last
by the grace
Of the fire
and the flames
You're the face
of the future
The blood in my veins
oh woo
The blood in my veins
oh woo
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer

From the get-go I knew
this was hard to hold
Like a crash
the whole thing
Spun
out of control
Oh on a wire
we were dancin'
Two kids
no consequences
Pull the trigger
without thinkin'
There's only one way
down this road
It was
like a time-bomb
Set
into motion
We knew that we were
destined to explode
And if I had
to pull
You
out of the wreckage
You know I'm never
gonna let you go
We're
like a time-bomb
Gonna lose it
let's defuse it
Baby we're
like a time-bomb
But I need it
wouldn't have it
Any other
way
Well there's no way
out of this
So let's
stay in
Every storms
that comes
Also comes
to an end
Oh resistance is
useless
Just two kids stupid
and fearless
Like a bullet
shootin' a lovesick
There's only one way
down this road
It was
like a time-bomb
Set
into motion
We knew that we were
destined to explode
And if I had
to pull
You
out of the wreckage
You know I'm never
gonna let you go
We're
like a time-bomb
Gonna lose it
let's defuse it
Baby we're
like a time-bomb
But I need it
wouldn't have it
Any other
way

Got my heart
in your hands
Like a time-bomb
tickin'
It goes off
we start again
When it breaks
we fix it
Got your heart
in my hands
Like a time-bomb
tickin'
We should know better
but we won't let go
It was
like a time-bomb
Set
into motion
We knew that we were
destined to explode
And if I had
to pull
You
out of the wreckage
You know
I'm never
Gonna let you
let me go
We're
like a time-bomb
Gonna lose it
let's defuse it
Baby we're
like a time-bomb
But I need it
wouldn't have it
Any other
way

The lights
in the harbour
don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship
lost on the sea
the sea of heartbreak
lost of loneliness
mem'ries of your caress
so devine
I wish you were mine
again my dear
I'm on a sea of tears
sea of
heartbreak -

No how did I lose you
where did I fall
why did you leave me
always to sail
the sea of heartbreak
lost of loneliness
mem'ries of your caress
so devine
I wish you were mine
again my dear
I'm on a sea of tears
sea of heartbreak -

of what I'd give
to sail back to shore
back to your arms
once more so come
to my rescue
come here to me
Take me and keep me
away from the sea
sea of heartbreak
lost of loneliness
mem'ries of your caress
so devine
I wish you were mine
again my dear
I'm on a sea of tears
sea of heartbreak
the sea of heartbreak
I'm dealin' in a
sea of
heartbreak -

When I feel the
time is right
and you're
staying by my side
and the love

fantasies fly away

feeling makes me stay
I see the fire
in your eyes
It makes my
heart beat

Come on down my cover-

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
you're not
Here with me
you never say goodbye
Someone tell you why
did you have to go
And leave
my world so cold
Everyday I sit
and ask myself
How did I slip away
something whispers
In my ear
and says
That you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though
we're far apart
You're always
in my heart
For you are
not alone
Alone- alone-
why alone-
Just the other night
I thought
I heard you cry
asking me to come
And hold you
in my arms
I can hear
your prayers
Your burdens
I will bear
But first
I need your hand
Then forever
can begin
Everyday I sit
and ask myself
How did I slip away
something whispers
In my ear
and says
That you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though
we're far apart
You're always
in my heart
For you are
not alone oh-
Whisper three words
and I'll come
Running darling
and girl you know
That I'll be there
I'll be there
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
I am here with you
Though
we're far apart
You're always
in my heart
For you are not alone
(you are not alone)
I am here with you
(I am here with you)
Though
you're far away
(Though
you're far away)
I am here to stay
for you are not alone
For I am
here with you
Though
we're far apart
You're always
in my heart
For you are not alone
not alone
Oh- you are not alone
you are not alone
You are not alone
you are not alone
Not alone not alone
not alone not alone
You and me not alone-
together- together-

For a while
there it was rough
But lately
I've been doin' better
Than the last
four cold
Decembers
I recall
And I see my family
every month
I found a girl
my parents love
She'll come and stay
the night
And I think
I might have it all
And I thank God
every day
For the girl
he sent my way
But I know
the things
He gives me
he can take away
And I hold you
every night
And that's a feelin'
I wanna get used to
But there's no man
as terrified
As the man who stands
to lose you
Oh I hope
I don't lose you
Uhm please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Oh woo
please don't take
I found my mind
I'm feelin' sane
It's been
a while
But I'm findin'
my faith
If everything's good
and it's great
Why do I sit and wait
'til it's gone
Oh I'll tell ya
I know I've got enough
I've got peace
and I've got love
But I'm up
at night
Thinkin' I just might
lose it all
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got oh woo
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
I need
These beautiful things
that I've got

Fever dream
high
In the quiet
of the night
You know
that I caught it
Bad bad boy
shiny toy with a price
You know
that I bought it
Killing me slow
out the window
I'm always waiting
for you
To be waiting
below
Devils roll the dice
angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me
makes me want you more
And it's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
Hang your head low
in the glow
Of the vending machine
I'm not dying
We say that
we'll just screw it up
In these trying times
we're not trying
So cut the headlights
summer's a knife
I'm always waiting
for you
Just to cut
to the bone
Devils roll the dice
angels roll their eyes
And
if I bleed
You'll be the last
to know oh
It's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
I'm drunk
in the back of the car
And I cried
like a baby
Comin' home
from the bar
Said I'm fine
but it wasn't true
I don't wanna
keep secrets
Just to keep
you and I
Snuck in through
the garden gate
Every night
that summer
Just to seal
my fate
And I scream
for whatever
It's worth
I love you
Ain't that the worst
thing you ever heard
He looks up grinnin'
like a devil
It's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
I'm drunk
in the back of the car
And I cried
like a baby
Comin' home
from the bar
Said I'm fine
but it wasn't true
I don't wanna
keep secrets
Just to keep
you and I
Snuck in through
the garden gate
Every night
that summer
Just to seal
my fate
And I scream
for whatever
It's worth
I love you
Ain't that the worst
thing you ever heard

Well today
I'm so weary
Today I'm
so blue
Sad and
broken hearted
And it's all
because of you
Life was
so sweet dear
Life was
a song
Now you've gone
and left me
Oh where
do I belong
And it's
all for the love
Of a dear
little girl
All for
the love
That sets your heart
in a whirl
I'm a man
who'd give his life
And the joys
of this world
All for the love
of a girl

And it's
all for the love
Of a dear
little girl
All for
the love
That sets your heart
in a whirl
I'm a man
who'd give his life
And the joys
of this world
All for the love
of a girl

Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find
away to make you see
I love you Words
don't come easy
Words
don't come easy to me
This is the only way
for me to say
I love you Words
don't come easy
Well I'm
just a music man
Melodies for
my best friend
But my words
are coming along
Then I
I reveal my heart
to you and
Hope you believe
it's true cause
Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find away
to make you see
I love you Words
don't come easy
This is
just a simple song
That l've
made for you
on my own
There's on hidden
meaning you know
When I
When I say
I love you and honey
please believe
I really do cause-

Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find away
to make you see
I love you words
don't come easy
It isn't easy
Words don't come easy
Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find away
to make you see
I love you words
don't come easy
Don't come easy to me
This is the only way
for me to say
I love you
Words don't come easy-

Coming out of my cage
and I've been doing
Just fine
God I gotta be damned
Because I want it all
it started out
With a kiss
how did it end up
Like this
it was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
now I'm falling asleep
And she's
calling a cab
While he's
having a smoke
And she's
taking a drag
Now they're
going to bed
And my
stomach is sick
And it's
all in my head
But she's touching
his chest now
He takes off
her dress now
Let me go and I
just can't look
It's killing me
and taking control
Jealousy turning
saints into the sea
Swimming through
sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
but it's just
The price I pay
destiny is calling me
Open up my
eager eyes
'Cause I'm
Mr. Brightside

Coming out
of my cage
And I've been doing
just fine
God I gotta be damned
because I want it all
It started out
with a kiss
How did it end up
like this
(It was only a kiss)
it was only a kiss
Now I'm
falling asleep
And she's
calling a cab
While he's
having a smoke
And she's
taking a drag
Now they're
going to bed
And my
stomach is sick
And it's
all in my head
But she's touching
his chest now
He takes off
her dress now
Let me go
'cause I just
Can't look
it's killing me
And taking control
jealousy turning
Saints into the sea
swimming through
Sick lullabies
choking on your alibis
But it's just
the price I pay
Destiny is
calling me
Open up my
eager eyes
'Cause I'm
Mr. Brightside

I never
I never
I never
I never

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and I'll carry on
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven-

would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven
would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way
through night and day
cause I know
I just can't stay
here in heaven-

Time can bring
you down
time can bend
your knees
time can break
your heart
have you beg and plead
beg and plead-

beyond the door
there's peace I'm sure
and I know
there'll be no more
tears in heaven-

would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would you be the same
if I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and I'll carry on
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven
cause I know
I don't belong
here in heaven-
