Live A Little

Do you love me, baby
Or you just let me be
Like a record, baby
Collecting dust in its sleeve
We were young and steel
We will be old and brittle
We should live a little
We should live a little
If it makes you shiver
Then it makes you feel
If it hurts a little
It must be real
We were young and steel
We will be old and brittle
We should live a little
We should live a little
Yeah, you are my baby
Like it or not
I need you to save me
Like it was your job
Pull me a little bit closer
And never stop
If you love me, baby
Make me bleed
Please tell me there’s
Something up your sleeve
We were young and steel
We will be old and brittle
We should live a little
We should live a little

Mystery To Me
04:04
|
|||
|
Do you, do you know
What you’ve done to me
Yeah, you won’t let me be
You’re a mystery
That belongs to me
And I could be a wanted man
Do you, do you understand
Why I recommend
You don’t take my hand
And we want each other
All the while love another
While the world
Keeps on turning to spring
And flowers will bloom
And young lovers will swoon
While the world
Keeps on doing its thing
And you’ll remain a mystery to me
Do I, do I ask too much
To avoid a simple touch
Because it’s harder now
Than it ever was

My phone should be ringing
My message machine
Should be blinking
And my heart shouldn’t be aching
Like it is, like it is
Because the sun should be rising
Over that eastern horizon
And the rain shouldn’t be falling
Like it is, like it is
So you can tell me
Anything you please
Or you can make me
Get down on my knees
Or you can ask me
Any old question
Just call me, just call me
So I can ask you
What have you been missing?
And my ship should be coming in
After so long out adrift
And the seas should be calming
Again, again
Because my phone
Should be ringing
My message machine
Should be blinking
And my heart shouldn’t be racing
Like it is, like it is
But my phone ain’t ringing, you see
You were supposed to leave me
Better than you found me
And my machine
It ain’t blinking
So call me, just call me
So I can ask you
What have you been missing?

That's Me
03:29
|
|||
|
It’s in my mind sometimes
When I go walking to feel alive
With powder in my head
And shoes full of lead
That’s me
Step up to the ledge, you said
Imagine yourself a one man bridge
A road for the dead
To keep moving ahead
Endlessly
But you should hold your tongue If you got one, hon
Don’t waste your breath
On this soldier’s son
Because I’m done hanging on
I won’t keep hanging on for long
And you’ll have to live with this
With this precipice
And this bottomless pit
And this one man bridge
Who won’t keep hanging on
I won’t keep hanging on for long
But it’s in my mind sometimes
When I go walking to feel alive
The things I said
They’re all in my head
That’s me
So, I should just
Let go of this dust
If I could muster the guts
But the things I said
They’re all in my head
That’s me

Do You?
05:41
|
|||
|
Will you roll your windows down
If you see me coming ‘round?
Or is your heart still made of stone
Are you still alone?
And do you love me, baby
Do you need me, baby
Do you still love me, baby
Like I love you?
Oh, will you take my hand
If you see me again?
Or will you slap my face
Like the last time
You left this place?
And it’s strange
To see you coming ‘round
Like some stranger
Just come into town
I look at you
You look at the ground
Like something’s going down

A Letter
02:22
|
|||
|
I want to write you a letter
Because we let you down
Maybe one day you’ll do better
If it’s still around
And maybe one day you will read it
To you and yours
So they won’t be doomed
To repeat it
Like some revolving door
Going ‘round
And ‘round again
Going ‘round
And ‘round again
I got this pen and this paper
And you, you’ve got your youth
But I know sooner or later
You’ll have to face the truth
That we let you down, son
Surely we could’ve done more
Than write about the dangers of
Some revolving door

City Lights
06:12
|
|||
|
Did I see your face
Somewhere above the night?
Or was it an illusion
From the rain caught in my eye?
Another blackout dream
From another sleepless night
When I hate myself in the morning
You’ll be sleeping tight
Oh these city lights
Keep calling my name
Like a siren’s song
Calling out to sea
They remind me
That some things never change
Least of all me
And it’s in this place
The lions dwell
Like the ocean’s tide
Reliable as hell
And if there’s such a thing
As the other side
It’s where you rest your eyes
From these city lights
|
||||
8. |
|
|||
|
Is the road calling your name
Will I ever see you again?
Was I a finish line to be crossed
A certificate for your wall?
Who will you call
When you get lost out there alone?
Who will you call
When you lose your direction home?
Who will you call
When the sun gets in your eyes?
Who will you call
Like a thousand steely knives?
Will you put your foot to the ground
Let the wind blow
Your hair around?
Will you sing for the top of your lungs
Like you did when we were young?

The War Outside
03:59
|
|
||
|
We could make each other happy
If you stay a little bit longer
We could make each other feel free
If we sing a little bit louder
Because I can feel it coming down
There’s a shake coming
Beneath the ground
And the writing’s on the wall
And I know we’ll be there
To watch it fall
And I know
There’s a war outside
But tonight, let them fight
Without you and I
We could make each other happy
If we just remember to breathe
Because there’s always tomorrow
Tonight, there’s you and me
Nobody fights like you and I
Nobody fights like you and I

Come On
06:14
|
|||
|
You walk me home in the evening
To drink some wine
And ask me some questions
Am I just wasting my time?
So I take you out on the city
To call some friends we knew
When we were young and pretty
And living life like we had
Nothing better to do
Oh, come on
Oh, come on, come on, come on
The sky is falling for everyone
Beneath the sun, baby
So raise your head and come on
While you’re still young, baby
The sky is falling
It’ll soon be gone
For everyone, baby
So raise your head and come on
We watch the sun come up
In the morning
From a half conscious place
And you reminisce on simpler days
When I took you out on the city
To call some friends we knew
When we were young and pretty
And living life like we had
Nothing better to do
Oh, come on
Oh, come on, come on, come on
