Hurricane lyrics - Blues Traveler (feat. 3OH!3)
Most my life I've been trying to find a shelter from the storm
Using all the driftwood from the bridges that I burned
'Til I get thrown into the tempest that extinguishes the drought
And fatally the flames, they flicker and are finally fading out
'Cause young hearts were made to sever
And blood burns for the fever
I let you in
Drink the poison as my medicine
I shield the flame
In the middle of a hurricane
I never learned
Chasing down another storm
I shield the flame
In the middle, middle of a hurricane
Now we're spinning in a raindance together on a plain
Maybe just to clear away the clouds that remain
I've been painted in a corner, left to fight against the troops
But now I know there is no outcome to the ending without you
'Cause young hearts were made to sever
And blood burns for the fever
I let you in
Drink the poison as my medicine
I shield the flame
In the middle of a hurricane
I never learned
Chasing down another storm
I shield the flame
In the middle, middle of a hurricane
In the backseat
Sticking my head out the window
Singing a song that we don't remember anymore
You had me but I should've seen the warning signs
The cold on your hands that probably still hides behind blue eyes
And now I feel like a sheep in sheep's clothing
In a den of wolves
My heart beats hard like a thunderstorm brewing
Unable to leave your love
I let you in
Drink the poison as my medicine
I shield the flame
In the middle of a hurricane
I never learned
Chasing down another storm
I shield the flame
In the middle, middle of a hurricane
Blow Up The Moon lyrics - Blues Traveler (feat. 3OH!3 & JC Chasez)
Hey
Hey
Spinnin' blind under the sky
Stars are burning like your eyes
Don't care if I make it out alive
So strap some dynamite to me
Shoot me through the galaxy
We'll be watching fireworks tonight
Oh
Light me up
Countin' down, three, two, one, kaboom
Spark the fuse
And everyone under the sun will gather 'round when we blow up the moon
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
When we blow up the moon
Na na na na na na na na
And everyone under the sun will gather 'round when we blow up the moon
Flying reckless through the air
Fired through the atmosphere
A missile on a mission for your heart
I've done everything for you
There's one more thing I got to do
Turn this rock into a shooting star
Light me up
Countin' down, three, two, one, kaboom
Spark the fuse
And everyone under the sun will gather 'round when we blow up the moon
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
When we blow up the moon
Na na na na na na na na
And everyone under the sun will gather 'round when we blow up the moon
Split in half for what it's worth
The moon's debris rains down on Earth
Rocket as the sky comes falling down
But if you see me as I am
I'm happy that I did my plan
Never put our feet back on the ground
Light me up
Countin' down, three, two, one, kaboom
Spark the fuse
And everyone under the sun will gather 'round when we blow up the moon
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
When we blow up the moon
Na na na na na na na na
And everyone under the sun will gather 'round when we blow up the moon
Castaway lyrics - Blues Traveler (feat. Rome Ramirez & Dirty Heads)
You guide me with your hands
You’re in my wheelhouse and I can’t wait to give the order
Just send the flares out and light the skies above the water
The water on our brow, your shores are safely found
And in the moonlight I will wear on its each other
And not a sound and no one else for miles
You know what they say, no man is an island no
I don’t think that way, cause now at last I feel like trying
I’ve been lost for days, and here I’ve finally here and safe
With you I’m not the only castaway
Like a heartbeat that were moving to the temple,
When our eyes meet skin it shivers and it trembles
Like a castaway, gonna spend my day thinkin' about
how your body sways, thinkin' about your body plays
I walk upon your sand, you guide me with your hand
And you call out, I hear you echo like a dancer yeah
And now not a sound and no one else for miles
You know what they say, no man is an island, no
I don’t think that way, cause now at last I feel like trying
I’ve been lost for days, and here I’ve finally here and safe
With you I’m not the only castaway
And when the stars fall from the sky and it’s just you and I
And when the waves come crashing high, it’s just you and I
And when the sun begins to rise, and light turns into day
I know I’m not the only castaway,
You know what they say, no man is an island no
I don’t think that way, cause now I finally feel like trying
I’ve been lost for days, and here I’ve finally here and safe
You know what they say, you know what they say
Ho, you know what they say, no man is an island no,
I don’t think that way, cause now I finally feel like trying, I’ve been lost for days,
but here I’m finally feeling safe and with you I’m not the only castaway.
Vagabond Blues lyrics - Blues Traveler (feat. Dirty Heads & Rome Ramirez)
I'm just chasin' the wind whisperin' Willie Nelson
Thirteen knots if I'm caughts where I'm restin'
A dead man's hand and I got all my chips in
Ace high, 8 low, thunder in the distance
My trail leads west, desperado on a mission
Vagabond blues when I hear the train whistlin'
No rest for the wicked, I'll sleep when I'm buried
No name on my tombstone, call me Huckleberry
Yeah
Out there Jared's got a whiskey
I hope that no one'll miss me
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
Out there Jared's got a whiskey
I hope that no one'll miss me
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
I keep movin' on like vagabond, but leave the fire on
Illuminate the light at night so I can find my way back home
You never know what's told, we might be old or all be dead at dawn
The Devil knows I'm sold, he's sitting shotgun, ride along
Rabid dog fight, foaming, rabid dog bite
All these words are muddy water like I'm fishing with some dynamite
Dead to rights, pistol sights, pine box filled at night
They just might close it tight, man, it will be our night, yeah
My bones grown damn brittle
Every line in my face is a riddle
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
My bones grown damn brittle
Every line in my face is a riddle
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
Met a girl who needed help
Felt that I could share the wealth
Picked her up, talked a bit
Laughed about our pain within
She was Ruby and I was I
And while she glistened, I'd just lie
Every word that she said
Echoed like drums in my head
Years have passed and I grew old
And traveled 'round in search for her
She took my heart, and took my gold
Another vagabond love story told
High road, never been a preacher
Fool's gold, always been a-teachin'
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
Well, I'm dyin' lookin' at the pictures
All my lies never gonna fix her
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
I couldn't tell ya 'bout the right or wrong
When I'm gone, gone
Top Of The World lyrics - Blues Traveler (feat. Hanson)
You can walk a mile in no shoes
Before you realized you were dreaming
And when you finally come to
Your nightmare's warning may still be screaming
Careful what you wish for little man
It might go on and on and on and on
Because there's poison in the rat race
And your tasters won't protect you from your royal table
When karma finally puts you in your place
On top of the world
You meet strange people
People choose to turn their back on you
Just to cover their asses
On top of the world
Your soul sells cheaper
Than a pack of used cigarettes
Or your designer glasses
Oh, the rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper
At the top of the world
The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper
At the top of the world
The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper
At the top of the world
Yeah, on the top of the world
When your eyes are focused on a price
Your head turned 'round and 'round by some paddle's panacea
Too late realization will arise
A tower's view won't take you high as a single good idea
On top of the world
You meet strange people
People choose to turn their back on you
Just to cover their asses
On top of the world
Your soul sells cheaper
Than a pack of used cigarettes
Or your designer glasses
The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper
At the top of the world
The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper
At the top of the world
The rent is cheaper but the climb is
No rhyme or reason, no sense of up or down
Not even air up there to fill your beating heart
Icarus can see you from where he landed on the ground
Right there where everybody also starts
On the top of the world
On top of the world
Your soul sells cheaper
Than a pack of used cigarettes
And your designer glasses, yeah
The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper
At the top of the world
The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper
At the top of the world
Oh, the rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper
At the top of the world
The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper
At the top of the world
Oh, the rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper
At the top of the world
At the top of the world
Matador lyrics - Blues Traveler (feat. Thompson Square)
The crowd’s up on its feet
A sacrifice is what they seek
For they know not what they see
When the final blow is dealt
A coup de grâce in his suit of lights
Will live to fight another fight
But the beast is gonna die tonight
Like the last ringing of a bell
All hail the Matador
It’s what we paid our money for
He’ll make sure we don’t care no more
As the blood turns the dust red
What if we all bear the sin?
Subversively the bull should win
But we all know how this song ends
It’s forever in our heads, forever in our heads
All hail the Matador
All hail the Matador
Now he stands there all alone
Paper seats the crowd is gone
Ruling from a vacant throne
The table’s finally turned
Now he finds himself the bull
His heart is empty, the ache is full
The people’s love the only rule
Some people never learn
All hail the Matador
It’s what we paid our money for
He’ll make sure we don’t care no more
As the blood turns the dust red
What if we all bear the sin?
Subversively the bull should win
But we all know how this song ends
It’s forever in our heads, forever in our heads
All hail the Matador
All hail the Matador
It’s what we paid our money for
He’ll make sure we don’t care no more
When the blood turns the dust red
What if we all bear the sin?
Subversively the bull should win
But we all know how this song ends
It’s forever in our heads, it’s forever in our heads
It’s forever in our heads
All hail, all hail the Matador
Forever in our heads
It’s what we pay our money for
Seems like we don’t care no more
All hail the Matador
The Darkness We All Need lyrics - Blues Traveler (feat. Secondhand Serenade)
How I came to be
In a thunder's calm
The chaos reigned, but don't we all?
Like the drink of light
It tastes so young
Going down so quick and then it's gone
And I began to see
The darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will overcome and set me free
Through the darkness we all need
And it came like fire
Lighting up the sky
Like some flash of hope to guide me home
And I have been so tired
Too tired to try
To brave the storm of the unknown
And I began to see
The darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will overcome and set me free
Through the darkness we all need
And I began to see
Through the darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will overcome and set me free
And I began to see
Through the darkness we all need
That the world has opened up and cast a light in front of me
And swept away my fears
And who I used to be
Learning that the good will overcome and set me free
Through the darkness we all need
Hearts Are Still Awake lyrics - Blues Traveler (feat. Jewel)
You and I arrive
Same destination always at different times
Our love a passing train
I was there all along
Hoping that you'd see me
Amazed you could leave me alone
Can any love remain?
But our hearts are still awake
Despite the time and spaces
And all the give and take
And loneliness that tests our souls
The ache for you, it lets me know
That I still can't let go
Of the dream that our love could make
'Cause our hearts are still awake
oh oh
oh oh
I want to walk away
But the strength of your arms around me
Makes me stay
My love can't fade
I was a wayward gypsy, never thought you'd miss me
Thought I was alone, but you became my home
And now I know you're afraid
But our hearts are still awake
Despite the time and spaces
And all the give and take
And loneliness that tests our souls
The ache for you, it lets me know
That I still can't let go
Of the dream that our love could make
'Cause our hearts are still awake
oh oh
oh oh
Hearts are still awake
oh oh
oh oh
But there's pain and distraction
That tires at our hope
Don't we deserve to have a little faith?
But our hearts are still awake
Despite the time and spaces
And all the give and take
And loneliness that tests our souls
The ache for you, it lets me know
That I still can't let go
Of the dream that our love could make
'Cause our hearts are still awake
oh oh
oh oh
Hearts are still awake
You and I arrive
At the same destination
But always at a different time.
I Know Right lyrics - Blues Traveler (feat. Bowling For Soup)
I never really hear you talking
You don't listen to me
'Cause strangely we have no idea
What is meant to be
Every time I listen
I'm just thinking what to say
And it's just easier that way
I know, right
I know, right
When words don't have to think
What a delicious drink
Throw in the kitchen sink
I know, right
LMFAO
What more is there to know?
Totes amazeballs
I know, right
You don't like the way I drive
And I don't really care for your hair
But something in the cutoff
Makes us both seem unaware
You've got a pretty good reason
But maybe I do too
I think it's kinda why I like you
I know, right
I know, right
When words don't have to think
What a delicious drink
Throw in the kitchen sink
I know, right
LMFAO
What more is there to know?
Totes amazeballs
I know, right
I know, right
I know, right
I know, right
I know, right
When words don't have to think
What a delicious drink
Throw in the kitchen sink
I know, right
LMFAO
What more is there to know?
Totes amazeballs
I know, right
I know, right
I know, right
I know, right
I know, right
I know, right
I know, right
I know, right
I know, right
Right Here Waiting For You lyrics - Blues Traveler (feat. Bowling For Soup)
I wouldn’t dare to say I missed you
‘Cause the words would hurt too loud
But if you walk right through that door
I swear that I would tell you now
Laying by myself
In this fold-up Ikea bed
Thinking about your face
And every single word you said
Right here waiting for you
Just keeping hope alive
And if you only knew
You would just arrive
Right here waiting for you
Just keeping hope alive
And sadly that’s just all that I can do
Right here waiting for you
Maybe you will never get there
And maybe soon you will
At least I have this moment
And my only inner thrill
Hoping you walk through that door
And lie here next to me
I’m cool to get the daydream
Yeah I will take it happily
Right here waiting for you
Just keeping hope alive
And if you only knew
You would just arrive
Right here waiting for you
Just keeping hope alive
And sadly that’s just all that I can do
Right here waiting for you
I wouldn’t dare to say I missed you
‘Cause the words would hurt too loud
But if you walk right through that door
I swear that I would tell you now
Right here waiting for you
Just keeping hope alive
And if you only knew
You would just arrive
Right here waiting for you
Just keeping hope alive
And sadly that’s just all that I can do
Sadly that’s just all that I can do
Right here waiting for you
You Don't Have To Love Me lyrics - Blues Traveler
The world is coming to an end; it's gonna fall into the sea
The ice caps are all melting but you're still mad at me
And all your reservations will be washed upon the sand
But you don't have to love me
Tonight I'll be your man
Yeah you don't have to love me
Cause tonight I'll be your man
Life in the Big Easy will probably never be that way
Sweet Lucinda Williams takes the glory over the fame
But you and I, we're dreamers; they're gonna catch us in the end
But you don't have to love me
Tonight I'll be your man
Yeah you don't have to love me
Cause tonight I'll be your man
If you don't love me
You don't have to explain
If you don't want me
We'll just play this little game
With everything that's going wrong
Each day could be our last
You don't have to love me
You don't have to love me
But tonight I'll be your man
But you don't have to love me
Tonight I'll be your man
Yeah you don't have to love me
Cause tonight I'll be your man
Yeah you don't have to love me
Tonight I'll be your man
Yeah you don't have to love me
Cause tonight I'll be your man
Tonight I'll be your man
Recognize My Friend lyrics - Blues Traveler
I
Look back on this life
And it doesn't seem right
That I'm standing here today
So many times
I thought I would die
But always something
Stood in my way
Save me again
From doing myself in
Give me another
Wake up call
The lessons we've learned
How soon we return
And so now I'm headed for another fall
From grace into danger
Mysterious stranger
Guardian angel above all
When we meet again
Right there and then
I hope you realize my friend
When my time is up
And my spirit ascends
I hope I recognize my friend
My friend
Does that even define
Though I know that you're mine
Somehow the words just seem so small
And you are so far
And I am so high
And now I'm ready for another fall
From grace into danger
Mysterious stranger
Guardian angel above all
When we meet again, right there and then
I hope you realize, my friend
When my time is up, and my spirit ascends
I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again
Before it ends
I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, and the music comes in
I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, right there and then
I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, from now until then
I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, before it ends
I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, from now until then
I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, before it ends
I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, from now until then
I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, before it ends
I hope I recognize my friend
Devil In The Details lyrics - Blues Traveler
The sea is wide as the sky is blue
You're standing on the shoreline but all is lost on you
For your mind is heavy and it seems your ship has sailed
You try to see the big picture but the Devil's in the details
It starts with a knock at the door
And once more
Thriving within the mistake
He elaborates
Twisting the meaning he seems
To come clean
Devil in the details
Hope is like a house with the porch light on
Even the dark keeps moving towards the dawn
They'll try to tear a good man down just to watch him fail
And they'll do it with a smile cause the Devil's in the details
It starts with a knock at the door
And once more
Thriving within the mistake
He elaborates
Twisting the meaning he seems
To come clean
Devil in the details
It starts with a knock at the door
And once more
Thriving within the mistake
He elaborates
Twisting the meaning he seems
To come clean
Devil in the details
It starts with a knock at the door
And once more
Thriving within the mistake
He elaborates
Twisting the meaning he seems
To come clean
Devil in the details
It starts with a knock at the door
And once more
Thriving within the mistake
He elaborates
Twisting the meaning he seems
To come clean
Devil in the details
All Things Are Possible lyrics - Blues Traveler
Sunrise
And everything tries again
To muster up
The courage
All in
Once again
A simple fact
All I have to nourish
That
All things are possible
(Imaginations never end)
All worlds collide
(You don't know where and you can't say when)
All roads are crossable
(An itch to which you must attend)
Leave all your fear on the other side
And if you feel like you could use a friend
Then here's what I'd recommend
Dare we
To dream
Let alone live it
It can feel like quicksand
Take every ounce of strength you give it
But the only thing worse would be
To leave it just lying there
The simple fact leaves me
Only all too aware
That
All things are possible
(Imaginations never end)
All worlds collide
(You don't know where and you can't say when)
All roads are crossable
(An itch to which you must attend)
Leave all your fear on the other side
And if you feel like you could use a friend
Then here's what I'd precisely recommend
You have only your hand to extend
Reach out to me
Reach out to me
Reach out to me
Like the summer reaches out for the rain
I will not let go until you tell me so
And squeeze as tightly as you want through the pain
All things are possible
(Imaginations never end)
All worlds collide
(You don't know where and you can't say when)
All roads are crossable
(An itch to which you must attend)
Leave all your fear on the other side
And if you feel like you could use a friend
All things are possible
(Imaginations never end)
All worlds collide
(You don't know where and you can't say when)
All roads are crossable
(An itch to which you must attend)
Leave all your fear on the other side
And if you feel like you could use a friend
Then here is what I would precisely recommend
Reach out your hand out to me my friends
Hey, you have only your hand to extend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Things Are Looking Up lyrics - Blues Traveler
I may be down
But things are looking up
All the grass is turning brown
But things are looking up
I don't have a white picket fence
But things are looking up
Happiness is a good league hence
But things are looking up
The sting reminding me
At least it seems to be
That I am fiery
And must be burning burning
Upon the wind
You take your medicine
Whether I lose or win
I hope I'm learning learning
Take all you want I don't care
And I'll look up if I am down a share
We never promised we'd play fair
It's a lonely town
But things are looking up
A hard old rain is falling down
But things are looking up
Im in a pile of leaves and I've got no rake
But things are looking up
So giveth unto me a break
Cause things are looking up
The sting reminding me
At least it seems to be
That I am fiery
And must be burning burning
Upon the wind
You take your medicine
Whether I lose or win
I hope I'm learning learning
Take all you want I don't care
And I'll look up if I am down a share
We never promised we'd play fair
Hands in my pocket eyes on the ground
Just like a storm cloud walking all over town
Dreams in the gutter spirits on the floor
Hope's in the dumpster but there's always room for more
I may be down
But things are looking up
All the grass is turning brown
But things are looking up
The sting reminding me
At least it seems to be
That I am fiery
And must be burning burning
Upon the wind
You take your medicine
Whether I lose or win
I hope I'm learning learning
Take all you want I don't care
And I'll look up if I am down a share
We never promised we'd play fair
Love Is Everything (That I Describe) lyrics - Blues Traveler
As simple as a kiss
So subtle and so missed
So ached for so doomed to be deprived
Love is everything that I've described
As lonesome as the sound
Of a memory leaving town
They say progress is a drink to be imbibed
But love is everything that I'd prescribe
As the shades of night come folding down
The moon and stars the only friends around
You can find me in the lost and found
The sunlight shines severe
And you are nowhere near
Of a heartache that cannot be denied
Love is everything that I've described
As the shades of night come folding down
The moon and stars the only friends around
You can find me in the lost and found
As simple as a kiss
So subtle and so missed
So ached for so doomed to be deprived
Love is everything that I've described
Love is everything that I've described
I Don't Wanna Go lyrics - Blues Traveler
Last night moonlight hands
Pulling me closer in
Back and forth and dance
Remember the way that you
Dare me, scare me chance
Fate clearly telling me
This one right here
Now
I don't wanna go, I wanna hold your hand
Let's skip the show and leave it up to the band
I don't wanna go til we're done with the dance
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
Bus leaves tomorrow for a foreign land
Ain't nothing wrong with a one night stand
But I'll stay here forever if you say that I can
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
Spotlight, flashlight, can
We make it happen
Forever be your man
Now is the moment I
Break my, make my stand
Promise you now that I
Sweetly, completely
Am
I don't wanna go, I wanna hold your hand
Let's skip the show and leave it up to the band
I don't wanna go till we're done with the dance
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
Bus leaves tomorrow for a foreign land
Ain't nothing wrong with a one night stand
But I'll stay here forever if you say that I can
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
And I've
Come to know the moon
From every angle in every sky
As I
Want to come to know you
That climbs up into my every alibi
I don't wanna go, I wanna hold your hand
Let's skip the show and leave it up to the band
I don't wanna go until we're done with the dance
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go, I wanna hold your hand
Let's skip the show and leave it up to the band
I don't wanna go until we're done with the dance
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
Bus leaves tomorrow for a foreign land
Ain't nothing wrong with a one night stand
But I'll stay here forever if you say that I can
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go, I wanna hold your hand
Let's skip the show and leave it up to the band
I don't wanna go until we're done with the dance
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
Nobody Fall In Love With Me lyrics - Blues Traveler
Nobody fall in love with me
Nobody fall in love with me
It ain't gonna end well
Just you wait and see
Nobody fall in love with me
Nobody take a word to heart
Nobody take my words to heart
Without a grain of salt
What I say falls apart
Don't take my tender words to heart
Because I've run for the cover and protection of the trees
Only to sneak away beneath the goddess moon is my disease
And I'll hold the line all summer before I freeze into next spring
Effortlessly busy 'til I just can't feel a thing
So don't you fall in love with me
And don't expect an answer when you call
You can't expect an answer when you call
Anticipation lingers before your hope begins to fall
Best not to call, in fact, at all
Because I've run for the cover and protection of the trees
Only to sneak away beneath the goddess moon is my disease
And I'll hold the line all summer before I freeze into next spring
Effortlessly busy 'til I just can't feel a thing
No don't you fall in love with me
Because I've run for the cover and protection of the trees
Only to sneak away beneath the goddess moon is my disease
And I'll hold the line all summer before I freeze into next spring
Effortlessly busy 'til I just can't feel a thing
So don't you fall in love with me
Cover Me lyrics - Blues Traveler
A question never dies
Please enlighten me
Sand upon your skin
It softens me
The sun is shining in your eyes
It frightens me
Always are clear
Will you cover me
Just cover me
Just cover me
And I just can't find
That puzzle piece
My picture's got a hole
Right next to me
Oh the taste it leaves
Can always change
Just keep your tongue in cheek
With all your friends
You spend your days
Don't you forget about me
Don't forget about me
And I just can't find
That puzzle piece
My picture's got a hole
Right next to me
There's a hole in my heart that is tattered and torn now
And if a question won't die it leaves an answer unborn now
And a question remains that I'm dying to see
Will you cover me
And I just can't find
That puzzle piece
My picture's got a hole
Right next to me
And I just can't find
That puzzle piece
My picture's got a hole
Right next to me
Saving Grace lyrics - Blues Traveler
When the scandal broke the handle
And the cradles have been switched
Norma Jean, well she came clean
So I guess that dog's been fixed
Her skirt's too tight
For a Monday night
Her sewing machine
I guess it works all right
To tie a bow in the lace
The lace that graces Grace
I'm tired of songs about angels
I could use a punch in the face
If I wasn't saying nay
I'd be saying grace
And it's hard to find your minders
And it's easy to lose faith
But I really never minded
Saving Grace
Well if home is where the heart lies
And my heart is in your hands
Then every place you try to pray
A dead canary lands
The love I lost
Was the love you lent
The cane you raised
While I raised the rent
Asking for grace
But grace didn't leave a trace
I'm tired of songs about angels
I could use a punch in the face
If I wasn't saying nay
I'd be saying grace
And it's hard to find your minders
And it's easy to lose faith
But I really never minded
Saving Grace
When the gypsy starts to jingle
Her bracelet full of charms
I'll be dreaming in the bedroom
With a Valkyrie in my arms
I'm tired of songs about angels
I could use a punch in the face
If I wasn't saying nay I'd be saying grace
And it's hard to find your minders
And it's easy to lose faith
But I really never minded
No I never really minded
No I never really minded
Saving grace
Big City Girls lyrics - Blues Traveler
You got one boy
With your right hand
And the other one
You hail a taxi cab
Big city girls you make a mess out of me
Now I'm on my way back down to New Orleans
You got a nice car
From a rich man
With a gold watch
And a fake tan
Big city girls you make a mess out of me
Now I'm on my back down to Tennessee
Big city days
Seeing if it pays
Barely rescued by the hell you're going to raise
She's going to roll you
Through the wasteland
While she takes you
To see the latest band
Big city girls you make a mess out of me
But I'm on my way back down to the Florida Keys
She'll tip your last cash
Past a velvet rope
And you've got to crash
Cause it's your only hope
Big city girls you make a mess out of me
But I'm on my way back home to New Orleans
Big city days
Seeing if it pays
Barely rescued by the hell you're going to raise
Big city night
Hanging on too tight
But she takes my hand and I give up the fight
She's got one eye
On the next bar
And the other one
On exactly who you think you are…
Big Apple girls you make a mess out of me
South Jersey girls you make a mess out of me
Hill Country girls you make a mess out of me
Rocky Mountain Girls you make a mess out of me
Sweet Valley you make a mess out of me
Big Easy girls you make a mess out of me
Little easy girls you make a mess out of me
Any easy girls you make a mess out of me
But I always come back home to New York City
Cara Let The Moon lyrics - Blues Traveler
When Brooklyn breaks into Saturday
The club rats scurrying away
And closing out and closing in
It's rare that something then begins
With promises like shining lights
Amidst the dawn of dying night
Through ringing amps and flattened beer
And all my cues for getting out of here
But Cara let the moon come in
And windowsills again have room
Cara let the moon come in
And for a time I'm high as noon
Cara let the moon come in
And I was sad I had to run
But Cara let the moon come in
And past upon the evening sun
Now I'm an old and broken me
Too many rides upon the wind
That carries hawks across the sea
To hunt and shiver for their sins
Too many dreams are left to stand
Until the tide can knock them down
But remembering I reach my hand
In case a few are still around
Cause Cara let the moon come in
And windowsills again have room
Cara let the moon come in
And for a time I'm high as noon
Cara let the moon come in
And I was sad our set was done
But Cara let the moon come in
And past upon the evening sun
So pass the bottle, Pack the bowl
Let's swap our tales of rock n'roll
We have until the engine strums
And the Prevo sails to Kingdom Come
Cara let the moon come in
And windowsills again have room
Cara let the moon come in
And for a time I'm high as noon
Cara let the moon come in
And a profoundness had begun
But Cara let the moon come in
And past upon the evening's son
Didn't Mean To Wake Up lyrics - Blues Traveler
I came so close to paradise
The feelings were so true
You cried for me to come home
Now, I was crying too
We said so many things in anger
There seems little left to do
Than put the pen to paper
I can't write good-bye to you
I didn't mean to wake up
From the dream that was my life
I didn't mean to wake up
I can't stop the changes now
When you wake up in the morning
Don't look for me, I'll be gone
There's a letter on the table
With best regards from john
I didn't mean to wake up
From the dream that was my life
I didn't mean to wake up
I can't stop the changes now
I came so close to paradise
The feelings were so true
You cried for me to come home
Now I'm crying too
I didn't mean to wake up
From the dream that was my life
I didn't mean to wake up
I can't stop the changes now
Forever Owed Lyrics – Blues Traveler
And when the mighty sea is heaving
And the mountain's gotten big
What anyone believes in
I never gave a fig
But I could never fully handle
The heart that bore the load
Something never spoken
Something forever owed
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
No I will never really be free
While you live in my memory
In awe and almost fearful
But I'll bet that you don't care
You're most likely thinking
About your brother still back there
Till I can bring him home
Till I can bring you home
I will never really be free
While you live in my memory
I can never have it taken
But I wanted you to know
That forever we're connected you and me
It doesn't matter where it goes
There are things we simply owe
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
No I will never really be free
While you live in my memory
No I will never really be free
While you...
And the mountain's gotten big
What anyone believes in
I never gave a fig
But I could never fully handle
The heart that bore the load
Something never spoken
Something forever owed
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
No I will never really be free
While you live in my memory
In awe and almost fearful
But I'll bet that you don't care
You're most likely thinking
About your brother still back there
Till I can bring him home
Till I can bring you home
I will never really be free
While you live in my memory
I can never have it taken
But I wanted you to know
That forever we're connected you and me
It doesn't matter where it goes
There are things we simply owe
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home
No I will never really be free
While you live in my memory
No I will never really be free
While you...
You, Me And Everything Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Gonna get wild if it's ok
I don't need your blessing anyway
But I get crazy crazy sometimes
I just wanna warn you
So get out your camera, gather round
Gonna get to the rhythm gonna get on down
Bring your rock candy, bring Uncle Buck
Escape is in progress, care to try your luck?
Kick out the back door into whatever will drive
And cling to the shoulder till the night is alive
When you're lost in the wilderness you know you're there
And dust off your feet and put your hands in the air
And oh, it never rains
You and me and these two lanes
And oh, the endless skies
You and me and everything just flies
It don't mean much if it isn't fun
But since we're already on the run
It'd be crazy crazy even if we thought of stopping now
So settle your affairs and reap what you sow
Just reap it in the car cause we gots to go
Launching up the highway like a catapult
Don't you look back or you're a pillar of salt
So up jumped the devil got his hand to your ear
And he wants to say what you want to hear
With the pedal to the metal we're a kettle and pot
Running deep into the black ink given whatever we've got
And oh, it never rains
You and me and these two lanes
And oh, the endless skies
You and me and everything just flies
Now you can take it on faith from my boy bourgeois
Wild if it's ok
Don't you drive too fast cause it's against the law
Wild if it's ok
I get a little wild if it's ok
Because I can drive me one more day
Into this crazy crazy crazy crazy wide open world
And oh, it never rains
You and me and these two lanes
Oh, the open skies
You and me and everything just flies
You and me and everything
You and me and everything
I don't need your blessing anyway
But I get crazy crazy sometimes
I just wanna warn you
So get out your camera, gather round
Gonna get to the rhythm gonna get on down
Bring your rock candy, bring Uncle Buck
Escape is in progress, care to try your luck?
Kick out the back door into whatever will drive
And cling to the shoulder till the night is alive
When you're lost in the wilderness you know you're there
And dust off your feet and put your hands in the air
And oh, it never rains
You and me and these two lanes
And oh, the endless skies
You and me and everything just flies
It don't mean much if it isn't fun
But since we're already on the run
It'd be crazy crazy even if we thought of stopping now
So settle your affairs and reap what you sow
Just reap it in the car cause we gots to go
Launching up the highway like a catapult
Don't you look back or you're a pillar of salt
So up jumped the devil got his hand to your ear
And he wants to say what you want to hear
With the pedal to the metal we're a kettle and pot
Running deep into the black ink given whatever we've got
And oh, it never rains
You and me and these two lanes
And oh, the endless skies
You and me and everything just flies
Now you can take it on faith from my boy bourgeois
Wild if it's ok
Don't you drive too fast cause it's against the law
Wild if it's ok
I get a little wild if it's ok
Because I can drive me one more day
Into this crazy crazy crazy crazy wide open world
And oh, it never rains
You and me and these two lanes
Oh, the open skies
You and me and everything just flies
You and me and everything
You and me and everything
Love Does Lyrics – Blues Traveler
She lies out on the grass
Her bellybutton fascinates me
If summer never came and went
I doubt that it would ever faze me
Broken in a moment of what once had been
I look within to see her face
My fingers start to reach to taste
But all they meet is my own lips
Time is fleeting
Time's a-wasting
And time is bleeding
Forever racing
And time is money
And money is time
But love does none of these
Love does none of these
She'll twirl and spin me 'round
And never let go of the hold she has
From heaven's rafter to the ground
And back and forth, and twice as fast
Transit in the blink of her big brown eyes
And all is right or wrong with the world
More the heart of me
Than as some would say "just some girl"
Time is fleeting
Time's a-wasting
Time is bleeding
Forever racing
And time is money
And money is time
But love does none of these
Love does none of these
But my heart beats as we say goodnight
Hoping for a kiss
And this feeling I get to keep
Love can most definitely let me do this
She's the only thing that shines
Among the murky gels of pink and blue
Club speakers make their noise
But they can't drown out what is true
Captured in the passion of an honest smile
And last call leaves us little else
I reach for her to make her turn
But all I meet is my own lips
Time is fleeting
Time's a-wasting
Time is bleeding
Forever racing
Time is money
And money is time
But love does none of these
Love does none of these
Love won't keep time
Love don't keep time
Feels like forever
I'm here whenever
Her bellybutton fascinates me
If summer never came and went
I doubt that it would ever faze me
Broken in a moment of what once had been
I look within to see her face
My fingers start to reach to taste
But all they meet is my own lips
Time is fleeting
Time's a-wasting
And time is bleeding
Forever racing
And time is money
And money is time
But love does none of these
Love does none of these
She'll twirl and spin me 'round
And never let go of the hold she has
From heaven's rafter to the ground
And back and forth, and twice as fast
Transit in the blink of her big brown eyes
And all is right or wrong with the world
More the heart of me
Than as some would say "just some girl"
Time is fleeting
Time's a-wasting
Time is bleeding
Forever racing
And time is money
And money is time
But love does none of these
Love does none of these
But my heart beats as we say goodnight
Hoping for a kiss
And this feeling I get to keep
Love can most definitely let me do this
She's the only thing that shines
Among the murky gels of pink and blue
Club speakers make their noise
But they can't drown out what is true
Captured in the passion of an honest smile
And last call leaves us little else
I reach for her to make her turn
But all I meet is my own lips
Time is fleeting
Time's a-wasting
Time is bleeding
Forever racing
Time is money
And money is time
But love does none of these
Love does none of these
Love won't keep time
Love don't keep time
Feels like forever
I'm here whenever
Borrowed Time Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Oh precious life
How you loved to lie to me
So recklessly fragile
So beyond my power to see
And yet so demanding
By making me believe
That I am standing
In the way of my own reprieve
That all our days are numbered
No matter the amount
There's a first and then at last
There is finally the fact
That the numerals just don't count
And all our time is borrowed
No deposit, no return
And no promise of tomorrow or the next day
What was lent you can never earn
If I took care of you
And loved you all your days
I'd still have to let you go
Cause nothing ever stays
You taught me to stand
And then you left the job to me
Now as a man
I'm finally forced to see
That all our days are numbered
No matter the amount
There's a first and then at last
There is finally the fact
That the numerals just don't count
And all our time is borrowed
No deposit, no return
And no promise of tomorrow or the next day
What was lent you can never earn
What was lent you can never earn
What was lent you can never earn
What was lent you can never earn
How you loved to lie to me
So recklessly fragile
So beyond my power to see
And yet so demanding
By making me believe
That I am standing
In the way of my own reprieve
That all our days are numbered
No matter the amount
There's a first and then at last
There is finally the fact
That the numerals just don't count
And all our time is borrowed
No deposit, no return
And no promise of tomorrow or the next day
What was lent you can never earn
If I took care of you
And loved you all your days
I'd still have to let you go
Cause nothing ever stays
You taught me to stand
And then you left the job to me
Now as a man
I'm finally forced to see
That all our days are numbered
No matter the amount
There's a first and then at last
There is finally the fact
That the numerals just don't count
And all our time is borrowed
No deposit, no return
And no promise of tomorrow or the next day
What was lent you can never earn
What was lent you can never earn
What was lent you can never earn
What was lent you can never earn
The Beacons Lyrics – Blues Traveler
When our toasters finally come to kill us
A creator complex will fulfill us
Follow me down to the road ahead
Where we mean everything that we've ever said
Destination overload it can't be tamed
And nothing or no one is to blame
Sooner or later
We're all beacons of yesteryear
You've gotta love or hate us
We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Put down your map son we're GPS'ing
The system don't know with who it's messing
Evolution crap shooter watch your scene
We're the proud parents of the big machine
Mutated strains like a frog to a toad
But ours comes with a bar code
Sooner or later
We're all beacons of yesteryear
You've gotta love or hate us
We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Hickory, trickery, dickory dock
I need me a stronger faster clock
One that comes with wheels and a Bluetooth phone
God forbid I ever have to be alone
Sooner or later
We're all beacons of yesteryear
You've gotta love or hate us
We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Sooner or later
We're all beacons of yesteryear
You've gotta love or hate us
We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
A creator complex will fulfill us
Follow me down to the road ahead
Where we mean everything that we've ever said
Destination overload it can't be tamed
And nothing or no one is to blame
Sooner or later
We're all beacons of yesteryear
You've gotta love or hate us
We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Put down your map son we're GPS'ing
The system don't know with who it's messing
Evolution crap shooter watch your scene
We're the proud parents of the big machine
Mutated strains like a frog to a toad
But ours comes with a bar code
Sooner or later
We're all beacons of yesteryear
You've gotta love or hate us
We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Hickory, trickery, dickory dock
I need me a stronger faster clock
One that comes with wheels and a Bluetooth phone
God forbid I ever have to be alone
Sooner or later
We're all beacons of yesteryear
You've gotta love or hate us
We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Sooner or later
We're all beacons of yesteryear
You've gotta love or hate us
We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Orange In The Sun Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Never you mind at the storm, honey
Never you mind the lightning
Dawn gonna make the day warm, honey
Son gonna make the day bring
Hold you till it comes
Just water falling down
The orange in the sun
Never makes a sound
Never you mind at the noise, honey
The man in the moon and the stars
Are putting away all their toys, honey
The lightning back in their jars
Hold you till they're done
Just water falling down
The orange in the sun
Never makes a sound
As it shines
All around
Rise and awake in the morning, honey
Wash away sleep from your eye
Keep any dreams that you might have made, baby
Little one please don't you cry
Hold you till the dawn
Just water falling down
The orange in the sun
Never makes a sound
As it shines
All around
Take away all of the darkness, honey
Remove any nightmares power
Break any curse with me, won't you honey
By the light of the morning hour
Hold you till the dawn
Just water falling down
The orange in the sun
Never makes a sound
Every night has to end, honey
Every storm has to pass
You don't have to pretend, honey
That a tear in the rain has to last
Hold you till the dawn
Just water falling down
The orange in the sun
Never makes a sound
Never you mind the lightning
Dawn gonna make the day warm, honey
Son gonna make the day bring
Hold you till it comes
Just water falling down
The orange in the sun
Never makes a sound
Never you mind at the noise, honey
The man in the moon and the stars
Are putting away all their toys, honey
The lightning back in their jars
Hold you till they're done
Just water falling down
The orange in the sun
Never makes a sound
As it shines
All around
Rise and awake in the morning, honey
Wash away sleep from your eye
Keep any dreams that you might have made, baby
Little one please don't you cry
Hold you till the dawn
Just water falling down
The orange in the sun
Never makes a sound
As it shines
All around
Take away all of the darkness, honey
Remove any nightmares power
Break any curse with me, won't you honey
By the light of the morning hour
Hold you till the dawn
Just water falling down
The orange in the sun
Never makes a sound
Every night has to end, honey
Every storm has to pass
You don't have to pretend, honey
That a tear in the rain has to last
Hold you till the dawn
Just water falling down
The orange in the sun
Never makes a sound
What Remains Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Sway with me for one more dance
And holding me closely meet my eyes
And I would ask for nothing more
I'm asking for another chance
To my own infinite surprise
I've never moved like this before
It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I'll not betray
What time can't heal or kill
A single instant of reprieve
I am no longer resembling
The man I was, I'm the man you see
Try to exhale in my relief
But I am also trembling
You brought the best hope out of me
It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill
Gently I stumble
To the music as it strums
The heavens all crumble
'Neath this moment we've become
My heart keeps calling me
Closer and stalling me
Catch me I'm falling
Though the dancing's long since done
If I'm in trouble; if I'm alone
If I'm a runaway, don't send me home
I want to be with you
If I saw you now would nothing change
Tell me to grow up or act my age
Like I always do
Maybe surrender another chance
Or only just give me one more dance
It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill
It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill
And holding me closely meet my eyes
And I would ask for nothing more
I'm asking for another chance
To my own infinite surprise
I've never moved like this before
It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I'll not betray
What time can't heal or kill
A single instant of reprieve
I am no longer resembling
The man I was, I'm the man you see
Try to exhale in my relief
But I am also trembling
You brought the best hope out of me
It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill
Gently I stumble
To the music as it strums
The heavens all crumble
'Neath this moment we've become
My heart keeps calling me
Closer and stalling me
Catch me I'm falling
Though the dancing's long since done
If I'm in trouble; if I'm alone
If I'm a runaway, don't send me home
I want to be with you
If I saw you now would nothing change
Tell me to grow up or act my age
Like I always do
Maybe surrender another chance
Or only just give me one more dance
It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill
It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill
How You Remember It Lyrics – Blues Traveler
So I thought about my lifetime
How the days they are confused
As the moments they do roll by
Only some will follow you
They're the same every day
Think about what we do
If you take the time to look well
Any one of them could chase you
That's how you remember it
It'll find you soon
That's how you remember it
What will be the truth
From out behind the shadows
Every moment I have known
Like catching that first firefly
In a jar when I was back home
Summer rain on windowpane
The way she looked that night
And every second after
Going to radiate the light
That's how you remember it
It'll find you soon
That's how you remember it
What will be the truth
Looking at my photograph
Staring back 20 years ago
The man I am, the boy I was
The things I still don't know
That's how you remember it
It'll find you soon
That's how you remember it
What will be the truth
No matter how you remember it
It'll find you soon
No matter how you remember it
That will be the truth
How the days they are confused
As the moments they do roll by
Only some will follow you
They're the same every day
Think about what we do
If you take the time to look well
Any one of them could chase you
That's how you remember it
It'll find you soon
That's how you remember it
What will be the truth
From out behind the shadows
Every moment I have known
Like catching that first firefly
In a jar when I was back home
Summer rain on windowpane
The way she looked that night
And every second after
Going to radiate the light
That's how you remember it
It'll find you soon
That's how you remember it
What will be the truth
Looking at my photograph
Staring back 20 years ago
The man I am, the boy I was
The things I still don't know
That's how you remember it
It'll find you soon
That's how you remember it
What will be the truth
No matter how you remember it
It'll find you soon
No matter how you remember it
That will be the truth
The Queen Of Sarajevo Lyrics – Blues Traveler
In the international rumble
She takes a chance and comes to me
And falling through the cracks we tumble
Not far at all but enough to see
We've come to rest our backs against the rubble
Of a future in uncertainty
"And I'm so glad you're here" she said
"And I hate that you're here" she said
"I wish I didn't need you so much
To be here"
It's funny meeting anyone this way
But there she goes
Walking her last runway
The queen of Sarajevo
We communicate in broken English
And nervous sighs and apprehension
As fascinated we are standing witness
No alcohol could quell the tension
No kind of clever joke or small talk in this
No fate denies our soul connection
"And I'm so glad you're here" she said
"And I hate that you're here" she said
"I wish I didn't need you so much
To be here"
It's funny meeting anyone this way
But there she goes
Walking her last runway
The queen of Sarajevo
They say that in the west the blues comes easy
And the night belongs to the one who plays
But it's the ancient souls that breathe them deeply
For the bluest heart is the one who stays
It's funny meeting anyone this way
But there she goes
Watch her walk her last runway
The queen of Sarajevo
And it's so funny to be living this way
But it's time to go
Leave you standing on the runway
The queen of Sarajevo
The queen of Sarajevo
She takes a chance and comes to me
And falling through the cracks we tumble
Not far at all but enough to see
We've come to rest our backs against the rubble
Of a future in uncertainty
"And I'm so glad you're here" she said
"And I hate that you're here" she said
"I wish I didn't need you so much
To be here"
It's funny meeting anyone this way
But there she goes
Walking her last runway
The queen of Sarajevo
We communicate in broken English
And nervous sighs and apprehension
As fascinated we are standing witness
No alcohol could quell the tension
No kind of clever joke or small talk in this
No fate denies our soul connection
"And I'm so glad you're here" she said
"And I hate that you're here" she said
"I wish I didn't need you so much
To be here"
It's funny meeting anyone this way
But there she goes
Walking her last runway
The queen of Sarajevo
They say that in the west the blues comes easy
And the night belongs to the one who plays
But it's the ancient souls that breathe them deeply
For the bluest heart is the one who stays
It's funny meeting anyone this way
But there she goes
Watch her walk her last runway
The queen of Sarajevo
And it's so funny to be living this way
But it's time to go
Leave you standing on the runway
The queen of Sarajevo
The queen of Sarajevo
Free Willis (Ruminations From Behind Uncle Bob's Machine Shop) Lyrics – Blues Traveler
No, I think we got it
[laughter]
You got a '68 Chevy in the middle of a dirt pile
You see it come back because it's gonna be here for a while
Your mama needs some money too
So does her niece
Your cousin
You think you'd be open to sitting down with me and talking about it?
Would you like to sit down and talk about it?
A man does not like to be held down
Bubble!
And there's a guy right next to me, and he's all stressed out and texting
And something's wrong with him
And he's got a problem, and he's gotta do his job, okay?
And his wife's nagging him, because, you know
She can't get the coat this month
And they're going away this month, so why can't she have her coat?
Man down, they said
Got a man down
Man down
Please know that I am distraught
Over the conversations we have had these last few nights
I love you
I love my job
Always wanna give it back to you
And make a difference
And not hold you down
Why would you say that?
You think you'd be open to sitting down with me and talking about it?
Would you like to sit down and talk about it?
A man does not like to be held down
No criticizing
We don't want you to criticize
Brings out the dog in me
It brings out the dog in me
Father, we beseech thee
If you're out there, please listen
Now, come on, help me
Help a man when he's down
Please, can you do me a
Can you...can you help me?
Can you do me a kindness?
Could you do me a kindness?
The following information has been brought to you by the following companies
Regarding the things I said
While I was in the car with you
And I was on the way to work
And you know I was upset, and still
Hold my cell phone
It's a BlackBerry, hold it
My second BlackBerry is ringing
Tell 'em I'm...just ask 'em to hang on for a minute
I'd love to talk to you right now
But I'm late for a meeting
And...it's Thursday

You Can't Stop Thinking About Me Lyrics – Blues Traveler
The kiddie ride just keeps turning round and round
At first never failing to amuse
We grow tired and dismount
Houses made of cards leave no debris when burning to the ground
But alas people leave slews of residues
Too residual to count
And there's no known preparation for this kind of a thing
And it don't much matter what kind of game you bring
You can take excursions around the world
From the mountains to the sea
You're coming back to the same dilemma
You can't stop thinking about me
When you wake in the morning for a second you'll wonder if I'm there
Issue your final warning by noon
Reassert that you don't care
And there's no known preparation for this kind of a thing
And it don't much matter what kind of game you bring
You can take excursions around the world
From the mountains to the sea
You're coming back to the same dilemma
You can't stop thinking about me
Don't think I don't believe you for I know that feeling all too well
But sometimes in our best desires come secrets
We may never tell
And there's no known preparation for this kind of a thing
And it don't much matter what kind of game you bring
You can take excursions around the world
From the mountains to the sea
You're coming back to the same dilemma
You can't stop thinking about me
Go ahead and try
At first never failing to amuse
We grow tired and dismount
Houses made of cards leave no debris when burning to the ground
But alas people leave slews of residues
Too residual to count
And there's no known preparation for this kind of a thing
And it don't much matter what kind of game you bring
You can take excursions around the world
From the mountains to the sea
You're coming back to the same dilemma
You can't stop thinking about me
When you wake in the morning for a second you'll wonder if I'm there
Issue your final warning by noon
Reassert that you don't care
And there's no known preparation for this kind of a thing
And it don't much matter what kind of game you bring
You can take excursions around the world
From the mountains to the sea
You're coming back to the same dilemma
You can't stop thinking about me
Don't think I don't believe you for I know that feeling all too well
But sometimes in our best desires come secrets
We may never tell
And there's no known preparation for this kind of a thing
And it don't much matter what kind of game you bring
You can take excursions around the world
From the mountains to the sea
You're coming back to the same dilemma
You can't stop thinking about me
Go ahead and try
Amber Awaits Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Well I guess it bothers me
Because I can't convince her of a thing
I can't talk my way
I can't even sing
And it builds into this quest
Until I come to rest at last
And admit I couldn't tell
I could only ask
And then I'm freshly daunted
By the prospects of her eyes
As she lets me down
With a gentle lie
Bad luck to force an angel's smile
They say it only hurts a while
But I've been falling
For a thousand miles
Amber danced upon a flame
Nothing could be made the same
Not so much broken as changed
Amber far above the moon
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon
I want to see
If Amber waits for me
Well I hope I can appreciate how lucky I could be
If she only would
Take a look at me
Cause I think I could deserve someone Who could be so kind
It's new to me
But I don't mind
Amber danced upon a flame
Nothing could be made the same
Not so much broken as changed
Amber far above the moon
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon
Amber danced upon a flame
Nothing could be made the same
Not so much broken as changed
Amber far above the moon
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon
Amber sails to Timbuktu
There's nothing more that I could do
But not so much hopeless as blue
Amber makes me feel alive
And something in me does revive
But it only works if she believes my eyes
I want to see
If Amber waits for me
Because I can't convince her of a thing
I can't talk my way
I can't even sing
And it builds into this quest
Until I come to rest at last
And admit I couldn't tell
I could only ask
And then I'm freshly daunted
By the prospects of her eyes
As she lets me down
With a gentle lie
Bad luck to force an angel's smile
They say it only hurts a while
But I've been falling
For a thousand miles
Amber danced upon a flame
Nothing could be made the same
Not so much broken as changed
Amber far above the moon
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon
I want to see
If Amber waits for me
Well I hope I can appreciate how lucky I could be
If she only would
Take a look at me
Cause I think I could deserve someone Who could be so kind
It's new to me
But I don't mind
Amber danced upon a flame
Nothing could be made the same
Not so much broken as changed
Amber far above the moon
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon
Amber danced upon a flame
Nothing could be made the same
Not so much broken as changed
Amber far above the moon
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon
Amber sails to Timbuktu
There's nothing more that I could do
But not so much hopeless as blue
Amber makes me feel alive
And something in me does revive
But it only works if she believes my eyes
I want to see
If Amber waits for me
After What Lyrics – Blues Traveler
And if I take a different tack
Well then forgive me if the long way round
Confuses up the point until you're numb enough to hear
That you're using the anointing oil like it's sacramental beer
And don't blame heaven or hell
You have to look to yourself
And nobody else will lift a light to make you see
Don't got to learn a damn thing
Part of being free
And I realize
When I buck my place
It's my feet but it's their race
And I don't run unless you try to chase me
And I don't leave unless you offer me a stay
And I won't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
So forgive me or forget you
If you think you cannot bear
Believe me life won't let you
If you blink you shall not fare
But should you get the chance
Try to make for the fence
It's a subtle dance we do
To stay in from the cold
And the cleverest ones
Get to be real old
I may struggle
I may complain
But I'm just trying to grab at the reins
And I don't run unless you try to chase me
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
I don't run unless you try to chase me
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
And if I'm wondering where to go well then forgive me if I don't know
Well then forgive me if the long way round
Confuses up the point until you're numb enough to hear
That you're using the anointing oil like it's sacramental beer
And don't blame heaven or hell
You have to look to yourself
And nobody else will lift a light to make you see
Don't got to learn a damn thing
Part of being free
And I realize
When I buck my place
It's my feet but it's their race
And I don't run unless you try to chase me
And I don't leave unless you offer me a stay
And I won't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
So forgive me or forget you
If you think you cannot bear
Believe me life won't let you
If you blink you shall not fare
But should you get the chance
Try to make for the fence
It's a subtle dance we do
To stay in from the cold
And the cleverest ones
Get to be real old
I may struggle
I may complain
But I'm just trying to grab at the reins
And I don't run unless you try to chase me
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
I don't run unless you try to chase me
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or if I'm after what I want
What that is I wish that I could say
And if I'm wondering where to go well then forgive me if I don't know
Money Back Guarantee Lyrics – Blues Traveler
It seemed so easy in daydreams past the playground
And schoolyard rules
When nothing's yours it's simple to plan your escape
From all of those fools
And suddenly you get your way
And you're kicking yourself
Cause you couldn't figure out how to stay
If wishes were money I'd still lose more than I keep
And that might just be me
But consequence would be interest and it would be steep
And nothing is free
It's a small cost to dream
But there's no refund for nightmares
It would seem
Careful what you've bought
Don't you look to no warranties
You own what you have wrought
Ain't no money back
Money back guarantee
Well I guess life ain't fair
But I know life don't care
And there's no one to blame
From on high to the lowly
For if you're loved or you're lonely
It's the one and only game
Careful what you've bought
And don't you look to no warranties
You own what you have wrought
Your money back guarantee
Or reprieves
So please
I'm down on my knees
Believe me
Don't you try
To deny
Any lie you might buy
Is deceiving
Ain't no leaving for free
So you've got all your ducks in a row
Have you figured out what you owe
Until you settle your bill
It won't let you go
Careful what you've bought
And don't you look to no warranties
You own what you have wrought
Ain't no money back
Money back guarantee
And schoolyard rules
When nothing's yours it's simple to plan your escape
From all of those fools
And suddenly you get your way
And you're kicking yourself
Cause you couldn't figure out how to stay
If wishes were money I'd still lose more than I keep
And that might just be me
But consequence would be interest and it would be steep
And nothing is free

Can't Win True Love Lyrics – Blues Traveler
You can't tell me I'm crazy
And have me care
If I'm not I won't believe you
If I am then I'm not there
You can't win true love
No you can't win true love
You can't change what has happened
No matter how much better you could do
And while we're on it you know you can't change me
And you can't change you (you shouldn't have to)
No you can't win true love
No you can't win true love
There is no race to run
No evil curse needs to be undone
No hope of changing what cannot be changed
Some things are true and they will never fade away
Or up or down or out or in
No you just can't win
You can't forget about me
No matter what the sign says
False advertising everywhere
Trial and error more or less
And you can't win true love
No you can't win true love
There is no race to run
No evil curse needs to be undone
No hope of making what cannot be made
Some things are true and they will never fade away
Or out or down or up or in
No you can't win
I can't tell if you are listening
And I can't get to have a say
And I can't see you when you're sleeping
And I can't change it all the way
That I can't make someone feel something
That I can't tell when it's enough
That I can't lose as much to seem to learn
And I cannot win true love
Oh you can't win true love
There is no race to run
No evil curse needs to be undone
No hope of making what cannot be made
Some things are true and they will never fade away
Or up or down or out or through or below or above
No you just can't win true love
No you can't
And have me care
If I'm not I won't believe you
If I am then I'm not there
You can't win true love
No you can't win true love
You can't change what has happened
No matter how much better you could do
And while we're on it you know you can't change me
And you can't change you (you shouldn't have to)
No you can't win true love
No you can't win true love
There is no race to run
No evil curse needs to be undone
No hope of changing what cannot be changed
Some things are true and they will never fade away
Or up or down or out or in
No you just can't win
You can't forget about me
No matter what the sign says
False advertising everywhere
Trial and error more or less
And you can't win true love
No you can't win true love
There is no race to run
No evil curse needs to be undone
No hope of making what cannot be made
Some things are true and they will never fade away
Or out or down or up or in
No you can't win
I can't tell if you are listening
And I can't get to have a say
And I can't see you when you're sleeping
And I can't change it all the way
That I can't make someone feel something
That I can't tell when it's enough
That I can't lose as much to seem to learn
And I cannot win true love
Oh you can't win true love
There is no race to run
No evil curse needs to be undone
No hope of making what cannot be made
Some things are true and they will never fade away
Or up or down or out or through or below or above
No you just can't win true love
No you can't

Leaning In Lyrics – Blues Traveler
No longer care where I am
One smile remains to trace for the fingers on my hand
Search for your face in every crowd
Hope it springs internally until it runs over and out
If I could touch your lips to mine
Soft and sweet for about a half a million times
Pressing ever deeply as I take you in my arms
And hold on
Until we both forget where we are
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Wake up staring at a phone
And it is so messed up the cliches alone
But there I am dreaming clumsily
And love, it comes so difficult for a boy like me
If I could touch your lips to mine
Soft and sweet for about a half a million times
Pressing ever deeply as I take you in my arms
And hold on until we both forget where we are
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Smiling at your message today
I know I face uncertainty but still I am on my way
Once again those daydreams begin
I caress your cheek
Finally leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
One smile remains to trace for the fingers on my hand
Search for your face in every crowd
Hope it springs internally until it runs over and out
If I could touch your lips to mine
Soft and sweet for about a half a million times
Pressing ever deeply as I take you in my arms
And hold on
Until we both forget where we are
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Wake up staring at a phone
And it is so messed up the cliches alone
But there I am dreaming clumsily
And love, it comes so difficult for a boy like me
If I could touch your lips to mine
Soft and sweet for about a half a million times
Pressing ever deeply as I take you in my arms
And hold on until we both forget where we are
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Smiling at your message today
I know I face uncertainty but still I am on my way
Once again those daydreams begin
I caress your cheek
Finally leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
Leaning in
She And I Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Tread upon me lightly
And take what you will
Cause it's yours anyway
You may have read up on me slightly
But if looks could kill
Then I died today
A challenge to you only
Can you remember my
Most honest face?
And I'd be less so lonely
Whenever I
Ordain to chase
The mystery
You bring from me
And I am persuaded
And from your eyes
Came a sweet reply
So utterly unmasqueraded
Morning rush hour I can see
She used her eyes but she saw me
Euphoric streaks upon the sky
They celebrate us she and I
Tread upon me deeply
And handle with care
Because I just might break
And if I put it less discreetly
Enter if you dare
But make no mistake
If I stop beneath your window
To ply my wares
And serenade
It wouldn't hardly dare begin to
Imply my prayers
I haven't prayed
In some time
I have been resigned
To have settled back and waited
But from your eyes
A sweet reply so beautifully paraded
Morning rush hour I can see
She used her eyes but she saw me
Euphoric streaks upon the sky
They celebrate she and I
Morning rush hour I can see
She used her eyes but she saw me
Euphoric streaks upon the sky
They celebrate she and I
And take what you will
Cause it's yours anyway
You may have read up on me slightly
But if looks could kill
Then I died today
A challenge to you only
Can you remember my
Most honest face?
And I'd be less so lonely
Whenever I
Ordain to chase
The mystery
You bring from me
And I am persuaded
And from your eyes
Came a sweet reply
So utterly unmasqueraded
Morning rush hour I can see
She used her eyes but she saw me
Euphoric streaks upon the sky
They celebrate us she and I
Tread upon me deeply
And handle with care
Because I just might break
And if I put it less discreetly
Enter if you dare
But make no mistake
If I stop beneath your window
To ply my wares
And serenade
It wouldn't hardly dare begin to
Imply my prayers
I haven't prayed
In some time
I have been resigned
To have settled back and waited
But from your eyes
A sweet reply so beautifully paraded
Morning rush hour I can see
She used her eyes but she saw me
Euphoric streaks upon the sky
They celebrate she and I
Morning rush hour I can see
She used her eyes but she saw me
Euphoric streaks upon the sky
They celebrate she and I
Rubberneck Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Whenever there's smoke and fire
You'll find him handy to admire
Never learns the victims' names
Roasting snacks upon the flames
Always just to happen by
Blood-soaked steel, but he keeps dry
Without concern who's left alive
It's entertainment for his drive
Hey, here comes Rubberneck
He never helps but he loves a wreck
He should close his mouth and drive away
He'd seize a peek but not the day
Sideline living is so sweet
There's always something good to eat
Smug behind the safety glass
Committed not but to save his ass
With thoughts like "better you than me"
I guess that's why he wants to see
Appreciation only learned
By watching someone else get burned
Hey, here comes Rubberneck
He never helps but he loves a wreck
He should close his mouth and drive away
He'd seize a peek but not the day
Rubberneck, his luck ran out
Messed with a truck and lost the bout
Smolders in a twisted chunk
While we praise our own and curse his luck
Hey, here comes Rubberneck
He never helps but he loves a wreck
He should close his mouth and drive away
He'd seize a peek but not the day
Hey, here comes Rubberneck
He never helps but he loves a wreck
He should close his mouth and drive away
He'd seize a peek but not the day
You'll find him handy to admire
Never learns the victims' names
Roasting snacks upon the flames
Always just to happen by
Blood-soaked steel, but he keeps dry
Without concern who's left alive
It's entertainment for his drive
Hey, here comes Rubberneck
He never helps but he loves a wreck
He should close his mouth and drive away
He'd seize a peek but not the day
Sideline living is so sweet
There's always something good to eat
Smug behind the safety glass
Committed not but to save his ass
With thoughts like "better you than me"
I guess that's why he wants to see
Appreciation only learned
By watching someone else get burned
Hey, here comes Rubberneck
He never helps but he loves a wreck
He should close his mouth and drive away
He'd seize a peek but not the day
Rubberneck, his luck ran out
Messed with a truck and lost the bout
Smolders in a twisted chunk
While we praise our own and curse his luck
Hey, here comes Rubberneck
He never helps but he loves a wreck
He should close his mouth and drive away
He'd seize a peek but not the day
Hey, here comes Rubberneck
He never helps but he loves a wreck
He should close his mouth and drive away
He'd seize a peek but not the day
Nefertiti Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Nefertiti claimed she needed no one at all
Majestic in her empire like so many I've seen rise and fall
Suitors by the dozen, even one who'd give her everything
Assuming the queen even needs a king
And what's so wrong with freedom?
Is there a cost too high?
But the slogans turn to mist in Nefertiti's eyes
And the heart of the lioness
Lay down gentle like a lamb
Her Majesty runs like a girl
No composure or command
And I know I should be glad for her
But I can't forget her fire
It just makes me lonely
One more goddess to retire
Now I have been brought down by less
That felled my mighty lioness
But what I see which makes me sad
Is when the loneliness gets bad
She has to run, she cannot take
That fragile fundamental ache
And the heart of the lioness
Lay down gentle like a lamb
Her Majesty runs like a girl
No composure or command
And I know I should be glad for her
But I can't forget her fire
It just makes me lonely
One more goddess to retire
Amazed she puts me in my place
A royal tear rolls down her face
But what for me may hurt worst of all
Is one less soldier on the wall
That much lonelier for me
As I salute my fallen queen
And the heart of the lioness
Lay down gentle like a lamb
Her Majesty runs like a girl
No composure or command
And I know I should be glad for her
But I can't forget her fire
It just makes me lonely
One more goddess to retire
No one should be glad for her
For I can't forget her fire
It just makes me lonely
One more goddess to retire
Nefertiti claimed she needed no one
Majestic in her empire like so many I've seen rise and fall
Suitors by the dozen, even one who'd give her everything
Assuming the queen even needs a king
And what's so wrong with freedom?
Is there a cost too high?
But the slogans turn to mist in Nefertiti's eyes
And the heart of the lioness
Lay down gentle like a lamb
Her Majesty runs like a girl
No composure or command
And I know I should be glad for her
But I can't forget her fire
It just makes me lonely
One more goddess to retire
Now I have been brought down by less
That felled my mighty lioness
But what I see which makes me sad
Is when the loneliness gets bad
She has to run, she cannot take
That fragile fundamental ache
And the heart of the lioness
Lay down gentle like a lamb
Her Majesty runs like a girl
No composure or command
And I know I should be glad for her
But I can't forget her fire
It just makes me lonely
One more goddess to retire
Amazed she puts me in my place
A royal tear rolls down her face
But what for me may hurt worst of all
Is one less soldier on the wall
That much lonelier for me
As I salute my fallen queen
And the heart of the lioness
Lay down gentle like a lamb
Her Majesty runs like a girl
No composure or command
And I know I should be glad for her
But I can't forget her fire
It just makes me lonely
One more goddess to retire
No one should be glad for her
For I can't forget her fire
It just makes me lonely
One more goddess to retire
Nefertiti claimed she needed no one
What Could Possibly Go Wrong Lyrics – Blues Traveler
I turn around and suddenly there's a danger
Yet another close call that I couldn't quite see
And I will admit that I am no stranger
To such a very similar controversy
It seems that I lack a sense of self-preservation
Along with an abundance of a need for a thrill
And that could make the deadliest of combinations
If I don't keep totally and quietly still
But tonight I've got to move
Ain't got a thing to prove
Besides, when you've lasted this long
What could possibly go wrong
Bartender won't you pour me a gin or a vodka
Deal me up bump or some x or some tea
Bet it all on black so if it's red I get nada
And I'll buy the pleasure of her company
But tonight I've got to move
Ain't got a thing to prove
Besides, when you've lasted this long
What could possibly go wrong
So if you're crossing the street you be careful
If it's cold and flu season you run and you hide
Do what your mom or boss or doctor all tell you
And if you're in school or prison just open wide
But tonight I've got to move
Ain't got a thing to prove
Besides, when you've lasted this long
What could possibly go wrong
Yet another close call that I couldn't quite see
And I will admit that I am no stranger
To such a very similar controversy
It seems that I lack a sense of self-preservation
Along with an abundance of a need for a thrill
And that could make the deadliest of combinations
If I don't keep totally and quietly still
But tonight I've got to move
Ain't got a thing to prove
Besides, when you've lasted this long
What could possibly go wrong
Bartender won't you pour me a gin or a vodka
Deal me up bump or some x or some tea
Bet it all on black so if it's red I get nada
And I'll buy the pleasure of her company
But tonight I've got to move
Ain't got a thing to prove
Besides, when you've lasted this long
What could possibly go wrong
So if you're crossing the street you be careful
If it's cold and flu season you run and you hide
Do what your mom or boss or doctor all tell you
And if you're in school or prison just open wide
But tonight I've got to move
Ain't got a thing to prove
Besides, when you've lasted this long
What could possibly go wrong
That Which Doesn't Kill You Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Crush me softly
Or cradle me hard
And the more I wanted
Was the scariest part
A measure of control
Well not this time
And I wanted to learn so
I claim the lesson as mine
The politics of lasting just a little bit longer
Is the art of living every day
That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Until it finally kills you all the way
You take every action
And apply the math
You could reap the rapture
Or risk the wrath
And if you rate the reasons
Then the best ones lose
And all that means is
You got no excuse
The politics of lasting just a little bit longer
Is the art of living every day
That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Until it finally kills you all the way
Harmonica powers reactivate!
Gonna pull up stakes
Gonna try again
Do whatever it takes
To draw you in
It's what I am
And it's all I know
Like the carnie man
You gotta work the show
The politics of lasting just a little bit longer
Is the art of living every day
That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Until it finally kills you all the way
Or cradle me hard
And the more I wanted
Was the scariest part
A measure of control
Well not this time
And I wanted to learn so
I claim the lesson as mine
The politics of lasting just a little bit longer
Is the art of living every day
That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Until it finally kills you all the way
You take every action
And apply the math
You could reap the rapture
Or risk the wrath
And if you rate the reasons
Then the best ones lose
And all that means is
You got no excuse
The politics of lasting just a little bit longer
Is the art of living every day
That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Until it finally kills you all the way
Harmonica powers reactivate!
Gonna pull up stakes
Gonna try again
Do whatever it takes
To draw you in
It's what I am
And it's all I know
Like the carnie man
You gotta work the show
The politics of lasting just a little bit longer
Is the art of living every day
That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
Until it finally kills you all the way
She Isn't Mine Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Been busted in Texas
Seen my share of Colorado rain
I've seen the anxiety every high school kid feels
Growing up on the Kansas plain
I've looked to the East coast
Still idling in rush hour hell
And the west coast keeps dreaming things are tough over
But for me it's just as well
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
I promised myself I was done, and I could walk away
But now I am just on the run and with nowhere to stay
I think of her often and dream of how different I'd be
Because it can hurt so much that I panic in the pain
So changeless I want to change me
Cause she isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
Every mention of you
Yeah it splits me in two
Cause it feels so good
But I promised I would
Keep it easy and fun
But when you're on the run
You scavenge to live
And what I just wouldn't give
I tell myself forget her
That it's only for the better
But I can't help devise
Some added surprise
To keep her in contact
To feel her react to me
Feel her attract to me
But it's so abstract to me
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
Seen my share of Colorado rain
I've seen the anxiety every high school kid feels
Growing up on the Kansas plain
I've looked to the East coast
Still idling in rush hour hell
And the west coast keeps dreaming things are tough over
But for me it's just as well
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
I promised myself I was done, and I could walk away
But now I am just on the run and with nowhere to stay
I think of her often and dream of how different I'd be
Because it can hurt so much that I panic in the pain
So changeless I want to change me
Cause she isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
Every mention of you
Yeah it splits me in two
Cause it feels so good
But I promised I would
Keep it easy and fun
But when you're on the run
You scavenge to live
And what I just wouldn't give
I tell myself forget her
That it's only for the better
But I can't help devise
Some added surprise
To keep her in contact
To feel her react to me
Feel her attract to me
But it's so abstract to me
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
She isn't mine
The Children Of The Night Lyrics – Blues Traveler
We climb slowly out from under the rock We were hiding
To greet the sun as it leaves the sky
On the cycle it was riding
And we stand new
Beneath the blanket of stars
So vast it sways our stance
And swaying
We continue to rise
Until it becomes one outright dance
And the moon keeps watch as the howling grows
Into one single petal
From a very different rose
And when we all get lost in
The throbbing throng's exhaustion
We actually touch those flickering lights
And give them something back
We are in fact the children of the night
A spark of smoke in the air
Commands the revelries as I attend
It says "be not afraid beneath
The heavens for the evening is your friend"
And the moon keeps watch as the howling grows
Into one single petal
From a very different rose
And when we all get lost in
The throbbing throng's exhaustion
We actually touch those flickering lights
And give them something back
We are in fact the children of the night
To greet the sun as it leaves the sky
On the cycle it was riding
And we stand new
Beneath the blanket of stars
So vast it sways our stance
And swaying
We continue to rise
Until it becomes one outright dance
And the moon keeps watch as the howling grows
Into one single petal
From a very different rose
And when we all get lost in
The throbbing throng's exhaustion
We actually touch those flickering lights
And give them something back
We are in fact the children of the night
A spark of smoke in the air
Commands the revelries as I attend
It says "be not afraid beneath
The heavens for the evening is your friend"
And the moon keeps watch as the howling grows
Into one single petal
From a very different rose
And when we all get lost in
The throbbing throng's exhaustion
We actually touch those flickering lights
And give them something back
We are in fact the children of the night
Unable To Get Free Lyrics – Blues Traveler
You asked me if I live without her
I choke on my reply
Let the blind man at the mirror spin his lie
And I'm damned if I don't try
Damned if I don't try
But no matter what I say
It doesn't go
Away at all and I'm still unable to get free
And I've been afraid
Of a convenience that I could have made
But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free
With cork and wax I try my best
To spackle in the hole
The inevitable aging of my soul
And my heart it gets so tired
It's my heart and it gets so tired
It's just a trace to track the pain
The beat that I
Sustain for hoping and I am still unable to get free
And I've never been afraid
Of a consequence that I could have made
But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free
...I see connections
...In my contention
...That I could see redemption
Through the bars
Of this cage...
And I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
For accepting sight unseen
So desperately I
Dream of some day when I won't be unable to get free
And I've never been afraid
Of a consequence that I could have made
But having to accept this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free
And I've never been afraid
Of a consequence that I could have made
But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free
I choke on my reply
Let the blind man at the mirror spin his lie
And I'm damned if I don't try
Damned if I don't try
But no matter what I say
It doesn't go
Away at all and I'm still unable to get free
And I've been afraid
Of a convenience that I could have made
But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free
With cork and wax I try my best
To spackle in the hole
The inevitable aging of my soul
And my heart it gets so tired
It's my heart and it gets so tired
It's just a trace to track the pain
The beat that I
Sustain for hoping and I am still unable to get free
And I've never been afraid
Of a consequence that I could have made
But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free
...I see connections
...In my contention
...That I could see redemption
Through the bars
Of this cage...
And I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
For accepting sight unseen
So desperately I
Dream of some day when I won't be unable to get free
And I've never been afraid
Of a consequence that I could have made
But having to accept this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free
And I've never been afraid
Of a consequence that I could have made
But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free
Eventually (I'll Come Around) Lyrics – Blues Traveler
I'm not the kind who hurrys
As sometimes I wish I could
In fact I tried
I almost died
Life wouldn't be any good
And like the best mollassas
I like to stay up late
And sweeter is the slower torture
And i can barely wait
Eventually
Eventually
Eventually
I'll come around
Eventually
If you wait for me
Eventually
Ill come around
Want to taste the moment
I open up my eyes
Couldn't linger here forever
Although thats not from lack of tryin'
But you and me we know for real
That moments come and go
And theres more to that in how you feel
So you should too you know
Eventually
Eventually
Eventually
I'll come around
Eventually
Eventually
Eventually
I'll come
Eventually
Eventually
Eventually
I'll come around
Eventually
Just you wait and see
Eventually
I'll come
As sometimes I wish I could
In fact I tried
I almost died
Life wouldn't be any good
And like the best mollassas
I like to stay up late
And sweeter is the slower torture
And i can barely wait
Eventually
Eventually
Eventually
I'll come around
Eventually
If you wait for me
Eventually
Ill come around
Want to taste the moment
I open up my eyes
Couldn't linger here forever
Although thats not from lack of tryin'
But you and me we know for real
That moments come and go
And theres more to that in how you feel
So you should too you know
Eventually
Eventually
Eventually
I'll come around
Eventually
Eventually
Eventually
I'll come
Eventually
Eventually
Eventually
I'll come around
Eventually
Just you wait and see
Eventually
I'll come
Let Her & Let Go Lyrics – Blues Traveler
In all that I do and in all that I say
I used to have a dream that love didn't have to be this way
Immaculate the promise of that pristine paradise
And as I come up from its ashes, I can only offer weak advice
Well you can tremble at love's altar, but don't you try to run
Because it's faster than you'll ever be, and you'll have to see to be someone
Whose prey to the real thing who prays to the moon
By howling at her shining face and clutching at his bitter wound
Just...
One of the millions who've paid respect
To the goddess through the eyes of the girl you love
Three little words from her lips can change
Forever if you let her in and let go
To what you've been afraid of
Oh, let her and let go
Well Q-R-S and T-U-V
Love can make you crazy, but it never really makes you free
And it's easy to remember, but it's better to forget
You never get that one you dreamed of, you get to dream with the one you get
Just...
One of the millions who's paid respect
To the goddess through the eyes of the girl you love
Three little words from her lips can change
Forever if you let her and let go
To what you've been afraid of
Oh, let her and let go
[3x, second time slower]
Let her and let go to what you've been afraid of
Let her and let go
Let her and, let her and, let her and, let her and, let her and, let her and
Ler her and let go
I used to have a dream that love didn't have to be this way
Immaculate the promise of that pristine paradise
And as I come up from its ashes, I can only offer weak advice
Well you can tremble at love's altar, but don't you try to run
Because it's faster than you'll ever be, and you'll have to see to be someone
Whose prey to the real thing who prays to the moon
By howling at her shining face and clutching at his bitter wound
Just...
One of the millions who've paid respect
To the goddess through the eyes of the girl you love
Three little words from her lips can change
Forever if you let her in and let go
To what you've been afraid of
Oh, let her and let go
Well Q-R-S and T-U-V
Love can make you crazy, but it never really makes you free
And it's easy to remember, but it's better to forget
You never get that one you dreamed of, you get to dream with the one you get
Just...

Let her and let go to what you've been afraid of
Let her and let go
Let her and, let her and, let her and, let her and, let her and, let her and
Ler her and let go
Sweet And Broken Lyrics – Blues Traveler
She smokes my last cigarette
She forgives me but I don't know it yet
And I don't ask but sometimes why is beautiful
She's a little cheap, but worth the wait
Of honeyed kisses, sleeping late
They steal my covers, but I'm just glad my bed is full
And if the words were spoken
They'd shatter on the floor
And once they'd broken open
Would it matter anymore
You've got to love her to see her
And in seeing there's hoping
Oh she's so sweet
She's sweet and broken
She'll never tell you everything
She's the fire the darkness brings
And I get lost but that's just where I'm supposed to be
She won't say why she cries
At marigolds and butterflies
And why her smile seems to hide a tragedy
And if the words were spoken
They'd shatter on the floor
And once they'd broken open
Would it matter anymore
You've got to love her to see her
And in seeing there's hoping
Oh she's so sweet
She's sweet and broken
I see her rising through the trees
She's like a wounded moon, gazing back at me
And if the words were spoken
They'd shatter on the floor
And once they'd broken open
Would it matter anymore
And if the words were spoken
They'd shatter on the floor
And once they'd broken open
Would it matter anymore
You've got to love her to see her
And in seeing there's hoping
She's so sweet
She's sweet and broken
You've got to love her to see her
And in seeing there's hoping
She's so sweet
She's sweet and broken
She forgives me but I don't know it yet
And I don't ask but sometimes why is beautiful
She's a little cheap, but worth the wait
Of honeyed kisses, sleeping late
They steal my covers, but I'm just glad my bed is full
And if the words were spoken
They'd shatter on the floor
And once they'd broken open
Would it matter anymore
You've got to love her to see her
And in seeing there's hoping
Oh she's so sweet
She's sweet and broken
She'll never tell you everything
She's the fire the darkness brings
And I get lost but that's just where I'm supposed to be
She won't say why she cries
At marigolds and butterflies
And why her smile seems to hide a tragedy
And if the words were spoken
They'd shatter on the floor
And once they'd broken open
Would it matter anymore
You've got to love her to see her
And in seeing there's hoping
Oh she's so sweet
She's sweet and broken
I see her rising through the trees
She's like a wounded moon, gazing back at me
And if the words were spoken
They'd shatter on the floor
And once they'd broken open
Would it matter anymore
And if the words were spoken
They'd shatter on the floor
And once they'd broken open
Would it matter anymore
You've got to love her to see her
And in seeing there's hoping
She's so sweet
She's sweet and broken
You've got to love her to see her
And in seeing there's hoping
She's so sweet
She's sweet and broken
My Blessed Pain Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Tell you 'bout a man I borrowed twenty-six cents from
I wanted to ask what the extra penny is for
I needed a quarter for the next two minutes with you
He said "I was making a wish but I've been listening
I think you need it more"
And it's the same damn thing
The stuff you put me through
I walked across a bridge and almost right past a suicide
You could say I'm a hero depending on the light that you put me in
What changed her mind was when I took the time to tell her 'bout you and me
She heard my tale and climbed off the rail and then she tried to push me in
And it's the same damn thing
I hope I'm doing it to you
And it sounds like thunder
And it fills like rain
But I've been so thirsty
That I can't explain
How you feel me and grow me
And no one has known me
To complain
For you are my blessed pain
You are my blessed pain
Girls need candy and flowers and monogamy
From someone who makes them feel worthwhile
Boys need food and five minutes with his right hand free
But only the girl gonna make him smile
And it's the same damn thing
The stuff that you put me through
And it sounds like thunder
And it fills like rain
But I've been so thirsty
That I can't explain
How you feel me and grow me
And no one has known me
To complain
For you are my blessed pain
You are my blessed pain
Girls need shoes and attention and monogamy
From someone who makes them feel worthwhile
Boys need food and basically five minutes with his right hand free
But only the girl gonna make him smile
And it's the same damn thing
I hope I'm doing it to you
And it sounds like thunder
And it fills like rain
But I've been so thirsty
That I can't explain
How you feel me and grow me
And no one has known me
To complain
For you are my blessed pain
You are my blessed pain
You are my blessed pain
I wanted to ask what the extra penny is for
I needed a quarter for the next two minutes with you
He said "I was making a wish but I've been listening
I think you need it more"
And it's the same damn thing

And it sounds like thunder

But I've been so thirsty

Thinnest Of Air Lyrics – Blues Traveler
How promising the start
Of the letter being read until the captain proclaimed
"Dying is my heart"
And then a hush befalls the crowd as the theater exclaimed
"Now our hero's part is played"
And they continue as the lights come on and they get up to go
"And we were all betrayed fo our champion he screams and cries like us"
Do they deserve to know that...
Yes
I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around
In the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out
In the thinnest of air
Should the love inside me die
Come save me I'll be drowning just a few feet from the beach
Please give it your best try
Though I may do my best to distance you and keep your arms from reach
I'm really asking you to stay
But the only way that I know how is by riddle or by game
It seems no on wants to play
And as I float on out to sea I never really sink
I just drift and say that...
Yes
I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around
In the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out
In the thinnest of air
If ever I can ease your pain
Well I don't think I'd release you I'd spin fairy tales instead
Or else you'd never need me again
And though I know that hold's pathetic it's letting go that I greater dread
Call it a joke to hide a dream
And it takes a good deal more than joking to make any dream come true
So rock & roll and kick & scream
For what it's worth I can't resist this flame and fire
To finally say to you that...
Yes
I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around
In the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out
In the thinnest of air
Yes
I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around
In the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out
In the thinnest of air
Of the letter being read until the captain proclaimed
"Dying is my heart"
And then a hush befalls the crowd as the theater exclaimed
"Now our hero's part is played"
And they continue as the lights come on and they get up to go
"And we were all betrayed fo our champion he screams and cries like us"
Do they deserve to know that...
Yes
I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around
In the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out
In the thinnest of air
Should the love inside me die
Come save me I'll be drowning just a few feet from the beach
Please give it your best try
Though I may do my best to distance you and keep your arms from reach
I'm really asking you to stay
But the only way that I know how is by riddle or by game
It seems no on wants to play
And as I float on out to sea I never really sink
I just drift and say that...
Yes
I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around
In the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out
In the thinnest of air
If ever I can ease your pain
Well I don't think I'd release you I'd spin fairy tales instead
Or else you'd never need me again
And though I know that hold's pathetic it's letting go that I greater dread
Call it a joke to hide a dream
And it takes a good deal more than joking to make any dream come true
So rock & roll and kick & scream
For what it's worth I can't resist this flame and fire
To finally say to you that...
Yes
I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around
In the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out
In the thinnest of air
Yes
I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all
I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around
In the darkness of an empty house
And there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out
In the thinnest of air
Can't See Why Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Kiss away the morning hours
In need of some restraint
While raised to think knowledge is power
I've come to learn it ain't
'Cause here I go when the hat drops
In the lions mouth for more
And this time there's no illusion
For what I got in store
And it comes
And it goes
And eventually slows
And we lie
And we trade
And I guess destiny is made
And I can't see why
But I do it anyway
You reap what you sew
Oh so the poets say
Well she knew my name and she came to me
And she wanted to spend some time
And she looked soft to touch so it's the same you see
I just wanted to make her mine
So there we are just standing there
Trying to figure out why we're there
Attempting some connection
While we're brave enough to care
And we try
And we fail
And oh the sirens how they wail
And it's bad
And it's good
Does it matter if we should
And I can't see why
But I do it anyway
You reap what you sew
Oh so the poets say
And I can't see why
But I do it anyway
You reap what you sew
Oh so the poets say
And I can't see why
But I do it anyway
You reap what you sew
Oh so the poets say
In need of some restraint
While raised to think knowledge is power
I've come to learn it ain't
'Cause here I go when the hat drops
In the lions mouth for more
And this time there's no illusion
For what I got in store
And it comes
And it goes
And eventually slows
And we lie
And we trade
And I guess destiny is made
And I can't see why
But I do it anyway
You reap what you sew
Oh so the poets say
Well she knew my name and she came to me
And she wanted to spend some time
And she looked soft to touch so it's the same you see
I just wanted to make her mine
So there we are just standing there
Trying to figure out why we're there
Attempting some connection
While we're brave enough to care
And we try
And we fail
And oh the sirens how they wail
And it's bad
And it's good
Does it matter if we should
And I can't see why
But I do it anyway
You reap what you sew
Oh so the poets say
And I can't see why
But I do it anyway
You reap what you sew
Oh so the poets say
And I can't see why
But I do it anyway
You reap what you sew
Oh so the poets say
