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

And don't you look to no warranties
You own what you have wrought

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 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

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
