Save Me

Please don't save me
Cuz I don't need saved
I will obey thee
Another lie I gave
To get you off my back
And outta my mind
I'm too late for wrong
I'll never be right
Now I know
I'm already gone
Please don't save me
Cuz I don't need saved
You left me there to be
Another man you'll hate
And now I'm off your back
And outta your mind
I'm too late for wrong
I'll never be right
Now I know
I'm already gone
Chorus:
Mother, father
Hear my cry
What hurts the most is
Locked up inside
I need love
More than ever
Before
Brother, sister
I need your grace
To rectify and
Burn this place
It goes
On and on and on and on
Amen
To save again
Please don't save me
Cuz I don't need saved
You left me there to be
Another man you'll hate
And now I'm off your back
And outta your mind
I'm too late for wrong
I'll never be right
Now I know
I'm already gone
Chorus
I know what I needed before
I was wrong
I want something more
I'll stay, I'll take all the blame
But we know,
know
Chorus

Gotta Lot
04:08
|

|
She's gotta body
She won't let me ignore
And I can't let her go
No, I can't let her go
My mind is racing
More than ever before
And I wanna let her know
Yeah, I wanna let her know
That
She's got reason
She's got her rhymes
Oh, swing those hips baby
Just one more time
I've gotta little, little something in mind
And that's alright
Take my hand
We don't have to go far
We can stay where we are, oh
Just understand
This won't take long
Don't care if I'm wrong
Chorus:
She's gotta lot of healing
She's gotta lot of feeling
She's gotta lot of reasons
To love
Early morning, 6am
Gotta feeling you don't know who I am
Last night was great, had me all surprised
I was laughing
Had me hypnotized
Then you took my hand
Said, here, have a drink
Didn't have time to think, oh
Now I understand
Should've known all along
This is where I belong
Chorus
I want her
And I need her
But she knows

Temperamental
04:04
|
|||
|
I’ve been around leaving
All kinds of faces behind
You’ve shown me how,
It’s a meaningless practice to hide
It’s gone far enough
Baby, you’re only one
That I trust
But I know
We still have shit to work out
Pre-Chorus:
Cuz you’ve got the looks, got the edge, the spark
A place in my heart that I can't block
But you wanna play games and know where I am
Chorus:
She's temperamental
Living in a wide eyed world
(Wide eyed world)
But she's got that thing
Making her my only girl
(Only girl)
But I'm not, her type,
I'm a lonely kind of guy who wants to make this right
If I were temperamental, then maybe,
I'd wanna keep her around
Eyes are locked, face is stern
My mind is turning over,
My heart starts to burn
You’ve got everything, well,
A man could ever want, but you
Take me down, can’t I
Catch a break, it’s like
Everything is my fault,
It ain’t!
And I know
It’s getting real hard to breath
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Do I wanna keep her out (I don't wanna keep her out)

Wrong Kind of Girl
04:05
|
|||
|
She’s got a kinda smile
That puts you down
Always feels like she’s
Taking you out
She means no harm when she’s
Breaking your heart
It’s nothing personal
She’s been that way from the start
Chorus:
She’s one of a kind
She’ll mess with your mind
She’s got a lot of experience
Waiting on you
(Waiting on you)
And you want her to
She’ll stick through the thick and thin
But she’ll always find a way
To break your skin
She’s the wrong kind of girl
(Wrong kind of girl)
But she’ll change your world
And she’s worth it
She’s got a funny way of
Showing her love
Black eyes and broken legs
Aren’t ever enough
One day she’ll kiss your lips
And make you feel right
Until she leaves the house
Then she’s gone for the night
Chorus
And you know,
She knows best
And you know,
Just give it a rest
This is over
But it can’t be over
Chorus

Better Than My Name
02:42
|
|||
|
My name is selfish
My name is arrogance
But I'd like to think
My name is so much
Better than
The words you call me
Even if I know are true
But there's something to be said about
How much I love you
Chorus:
And you say
It's hard to believe
But darling
Please believe in me
I've been wrong more than once or twice
Cleaned up, made myself all nice
Standing here, taking all the blame
I'm better than my name
My name is stupid
My name is big mistake
But I found out when I gave you this
Heart to break
And you left me
Erased me from your phone
I'm impossible
Pathetic
Left here all alone
Chorus

Buried Alive
04:17

1am
I can’t sleep
There’s no chance
Of you being with me
But I can’t help but try
Get the call
Get the text
I’m still here
Oh great
What’s next?
Of course there’s no reply
Pre-Chorus:
And I know it’s not
The first time
I’m sorry I called
I needed some kind of sign
And if daddy wants me gone
Then I’ll be happy to oblige
But now I’m buried alive
Chorus:
I had American dreams
I had a white-picket fence
Now I have what I need
No more no less
I’ll find somebody new
One who’ll fight their wars
You said you’d always be there
But I ain’t so sure
I’m a mess
I’m insane
But I’m still here
You don’t remember my name
But you feel fine
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
And I guess I got
What I deserved
No better
No worse
Chorus

Golden
05:42
|
|||
|
Days can go fast, but sometimes
These days never end
And I can't be sure if I'll ever
Be golden again
And I've been hard working now but
I can feel it in my bones
That I can't be sure
That I'll never go home alone
Pre-Chorus:
Please don't leave me alone
Chorus:
Oooo oooo
We'll be golden and golden again
Oooo oooo
I finally found what I want in a friend
And it's hard to find out
If I want something more
I'm standing open
I won't shut the door
Oooo oooo
I'm silver at best but
I wanna be golden again
I’m standing taller than I ever
Thought I could
This road wasn't easy, but I made it
And you knew that I would
Cuz I've been hard working now, but something's
Gonna break these bones
Sooner or later I'll be stuck going home
Alone
Pre-Chorus:

Heaven Lies
03:09
|
|||
|
Heaven lies
On the other side of the country
Heaven waits
For people like you
But it won’t wait forever
And ever
Like I want it to
We know
There’s a lot we have in common
But it’s so
Frustrating to think about
That it won’t last forever
And ever
Like we want it to
I wish that I had the voice
To share what I mean to say
But I only hang on the words
That follow me
Living this way
That
Heaven lies
Fire’s friendly
For sinners like us
And water’s cool
To heal all our burns
And we’re not afraid
We’ve got each other to trust
In this crazy town
I wish I knew what to do
We’ve been fighting to live
For weeks
We were so wrong before
It’s killing us
To know what this means
That
Heaven lies
