Dirty Lies and Whiskey

I guess that I was not the one for you
Some fairy tales are not supposed to come true
It’s 3 a.m. and I’m asleep
or at least that is what you think
But I know what you’re up to
Don’t you dare apologize to me
When you smell like dirty lies and whiskey
I’m better off all by myself
I say to you sir, fare thee well
and I’ll see you in Hell
Well, well, well look who it is now
Standing at my door
Trying to sleep on my couch
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
What did you think I would let you in
And we could just pretend like nothing ever happened
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
Cause I’m not there for you
I can’t be there for you anymore
So I hear that you are seeing someone
Do you think that he would mind if I stuck around
If you could hear what you just asked
You’d know the past is in the past
And you’re not welcome here
No, you’re not welcome
Well, well, well look who it is now
Standing at my door
Trying to sleep on my couch
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
What did you think I would let you in
And we could just pretend like nothing ever happened
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
Cause I’m not there for you
I can’t be there for you anymore
You broke my heart when I was young
You tore my life apart and you had fun
And now you feel
You feel what it feels like
To need someone
But I’m not the one
Well, look who it is now
Standing at my door
Trying to sleep on my couch
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
What did you think I would let you in
And we could just pretend like nothing ever happened
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
Cause I’m not there for you
I can’t be there for you anymore

Life Is Like a Limousine
02:38
|

|
I’ve been sworn to secrecy
I swore I’d never tell
A page was torn to force legitimacy
And I’ve been trying to hide it well
(Oooh’s)
Life is like a limousine
For showing off who you are
Painted white and always clean
But in the end, it’s still a car
(Oooh’s)
When it comes time to sacrifice
What’s on your mind
The thing that’s keeping you alive
Take note of what it is you’re letting go
Take note of what it is you’re letting go
(Oooh’s)

Under The Table
03:58
|

Sunday afternoon
Like little birds on a cable
Condemning forbidden fruit
But slipping it under the table
The table
Friday after school
Daddy’s out with the boys and
He’s sipping a gin and juice
Right after telling the kids that it’s poison
It’s poison
You can tell me all about it
Show me what you’re trying to prove
You can build your world around it
But that doesn’t make it true
He doesn’t have a clue
But he’s telling you where to find it
He’s looking for something new
In the same old place that he started
He started
You can tell me all about it
Show me what you’re trying to prove
You can build your world around it
But that doesn’t make it true
[Bridge]
You can tell me all about it
Show me what you’re trying to prove
You can build your world around it
But that doesn’t make it true
You can tell me all about it
You can tell me all about it
You can tell me all about it
You can tell me all about it

Yellow Lines
04:27
|

Here we are
Lost under a million stars
All so far
They don’t know who we are
This love is on fire
and baby we, we are a match
Each time that we light it up
Hope it don’t burn out too fast
We came with all sorts of warning signs
and we jumped right ‘cross the yellow lines
and we don’t come recommended by those with their head on right
You’re the adventure I’ve always been seeking
You are the fence I’m so happy I’m leaping
Where will we
Be when the leaves turn green?
What will next winter bring?
This love is on fire
and baby we, we are a match
Each time that we light it up
Hope it don’t burn out too fast
We came with all sorts of warning signs
and we jumped right ‘cross the yellow lines
and we don’t come recommended by those with their head on right
You’re the adventure I’ve always been seeking
You are the fence I’m so happy I’m leaping
Broken parts
Shattered hearts
It’s dangerous stuff falling in love
No matter who you are
We came with all sorts of warning signs
and we jumped right ‘cross the yellow lines
and we don’t come recommended by those with their head on right
You’re the adventure I’ve always been seeking
You are the fence I’m so happy I’m leaping
If this is a dream then I hope I keep sleeping

Maybe
03:04

I should tell you that I’m falling for you
That I’m absolutely, definitely falling for you
And I don’t know why
Well, maybe it’s your smile
Just wrap your arms around me and hold me tight
It’s the fire in your eyes that keeps me warm at night
And I don’t know why
Well, maybe it’s your style
I’ve been trying not to think about you all of the time
But that’s a difficult thing when you’re a part of my life
I want to hold you
I want to be home
I’m tired of being alone
I’m tired of being alone
There’s so many things that make you who you are
Those qualities and subtleties will take you very far
And I don’t know why
You would want a girl like me
Memories of you and I dance ‘round my mind
The thought of you with someone else just makes me want to cry
And I don’t know why
Baby I don’t know why
I’ve been trying not to think about you all of the time
But that’s a difficult thing when you’re a part of my life
I want to hold you
I want to be home
I’m tired of being alone
I’m tired of being alone
[Bridge]
I’ve been trying not to think about you all of the time
But that’s a difficult thing when you’re a part of my life
I want to hold you
I want to be home
I’m tired of being alone
I’m tired of being alone
I’m tired of being alone
I’m tired of being alone

Room for a Sinner
04:08
|
|||
|
Many years have gone away
Many tears have gone astray
I burned the bridge leads to his home
And now I’m standing all alone
The devil deals a tempting hand
And Mama, I ain’t been good to my man
But if I begged on my knee
would he ever care?
You think there’s room for a sinner
Up there
Upon a bed of thorns I lie
So many secrets in the night
I get a phone call once a day
But who would call me anyway
The devil deals a tempting hand
Mama my life ain’t going how I planned
If I begged on my knees
would he ever care?
You think there’s room for a sinner
Up there
Time is running
Though I haven’t checked it in a while
The devil deals a tempting hand
Mama I've done things you won't understand
If I begged on my knees
would he ever care?
You think there’s room for a sinner
You think there’s room for a sinner
You think there’s room for a sinner
Up there

Enough To Go Around
02:43

Can I get your attention
Anybody
I’ve got a lot to say
I’ve got a lot to get off my chest
Pass me the microphone
I know you’re sitting on the edge of your seat
Free your mind
The love ain’t running out
There’s enough to go around
You don’t have to live without
Cause there’s enough to go around
In the right kind of weather
Satisfaction
Doesn’t matter what you wear
Sometimes the rain might feel nice
So what if tomorrow’s Monday
It’s just another day of the week
We’ll survive
The love ain’t running out
There’s enough to go around
You don’t have to live without
Cause there’s enough to go around
[Solo]
The love ain’t running out
There’s enough to go around
You don’t have to live without
Cause there’s enough to go around

Some say try the other side of the pillow
It’s like running through the snow but
I don’t see the adventure in that
I’ve been awake for a while
I’ve turned it over once or twice
But it’s still too warm to snow on our welcome mat
I’ll take the rain
I’ll write down your name
I’ll welcome in the grey
I won’t refrain
I won’t be afraid
For you I’ll take the rain
So tonight is coffee-black and moon-white
It’s been three hours since midnight
I’ve been watching the second hand go around
I’m gonna wake up late
Splash some water in my face
I’ll sit alone and watch the rain hit the ground
I’ll take the rain
I’ll write down your name
I’ll welcome in the grey
I won’t refrain
I won’t be afraid
For you I’ll take the rain
Call it like it is
I know you want to
But waking up alone
is what I’m used to
I should be used to you
I’ll take the rain
I’ll write down your name
I’ll welcome in the grey
I won’t refrain
I won’t be afraid
For you I’ll take the rain

We Call Home
03:55
|
|||
|
Tell me why you’re home so late
I’m throwing plates you’re sleeping on the floor
I never thought our love would be a chore
Now you’ve got me walking out the door
Tell me why we’re standing here
We’re staring at this fear that we call home
What used to warm my heart now chills my bones
Hand in hand but we’re always alone
We watch each other bleed
It’s our twisted fantasy, yeah
But my soul is yours to keep
Tell me why you haven’t left if you’re going through Hell
(Well it’s taking long to pack up all the promises you haven’t kept, I haven’t slept)
I know you too well
(I’m not feeling to well)
What happened to ‘in sickness and in health’?
We watch each other bleed
It’s our twisted fantasy, yeah
But my soul is yours to keep
I tried so hard
To push you away
And you know that I would do anything
To hear you say
Hear you say
You’ll stay
(I’ll stay)
We watch each other bleed
It’s our twisted fantasy, yeah
But my soul is yours to keep
My soul is yours to keep
Tell me why we’re standing here, we’re staring at this fear that we call home
(Your soul, my home)
