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
