Mouth to Mouth

I couldn't shake the feeling
of your mouth
I'm such a dog without
the taste of your mouth
tomorrow’s to far away
and i'm so afraid
without you
I try so hard
to please your mouth
wake up in the morning
smelling like your mouth
tomorrow’s to far away
and i'm so afraid
without you
I'm screaming out your name so the day will some
screaming out your name so the day will some
screaming out your name so the day will some
screaming out your name so the day will some
tomorrow's to far away without you
tomorrow's to far away without you
tomorrow's to far away without you
tomorrow’s to far away
I'm warm in your shadow
I'm cold in your bed
hiding from the monsters inside my head
and i'm so afraid
and i'm so afraid
i need your mouth to mouth
do not resuscitate me
I'll ruin everything you are
tomorrow's to far away
and i'm so afraid
without you
without you

“Band-aid for a bullet wound
where she shot me down
she's got a ring around her finger
she wears it like a crown
a pretty little sister the talk of this whole town
her name only comes up when I got sorrows to drown”
she wore those summer dresses
the kind they sell in May
she worked in a watch shop
but wouldn't give me the time of day
now she's cheatin' on her husband
n' he's cheatin' on her too
everybody's getting some but me and you
singin' “Band-aid for a bullet wound
where she shot me down
she's got a ring around her finger
she wears it like a crown
pretty little sister the talk of this whole town
her name only comes up when I got sorrows to drown”
yeah, well I would of, should of, could of
yeah it would of been nice
if things had turned out better
I would of made her my second wife
she ensnared me with her smile
n' put a bullet through my chest
now I’m staggering drunk bleeding
still totally obsessed
singin' “Band-aid for a bullet wound
where she shot me down
she's got this ring around her finger
she wears it like a crown
a pretty little sister the talk of this whole town
her name only comes up when I got sorrows to drown”
if love is a boat
then I have no oars
she would be the coast line
but I can't see any shore
tossed on this sea of heartache
and this ship is sinking fast
everyone knows a love-boat wasn't built to last
“Band-aid for a bullet wound
where she shot me down
she's got this ring around her finger
she wears it like a crown
a pretty little sister the talk of this whole town
her name only comes up when I got sorrows to drown”
bartender bartender
bring me another round
I’m in no shape for driving
my keys are no wear to be found
I lost them with my watch
my moral compass, my first wife
I was out picking gin blossoms
when they say she took her life
singin' “Band-aid for a bullet wound
where she shot me down
she's got this ring around her finger
she wears it like a crown
pretty little sister the talk of this whole town
her name only comes up when I got sorrows to drown”
I got sorrows
to drown

January Eyes

come on sleepy eyes
let me drive you home
it's already getting early
and we're the last to know
now don't tell your mama
you know she'd never approve
and i can't bare the thought
of me without you
listen sleepy eyes
come what may
just don't give up now
when your miles away
don't you worry
and don't be afraid
just like the rooftops
there's always a fire escape
oh no sleepy eyes
look what you've done
you've gone and broke my heart
and built a better one
now don't tell your mama
you know she'd never approve
and i can't bare the thought
of me without you
Summer on her breath
December in her mind
a love that changes through October
April showers made her kind
The scars of February
A forgotten Valentine
Winter’s closing in
January Eyes

An Alcoholic Love Story
02:26

I want to forget her name
I want to forget her face
I wanna let go of this memory
this memory I can't erase
I wanna enjoy the sunshine
I wanna be there in the light
I wanna leave behind all the little things
that keep me awake at night
I wish that i were special
and far away from here
there's to much sentimental value
I still can't shake this fear
thank you mr russia
I wish it had ended different
I wish I could of died
I wish I could be happy
with you here by my side
I wish I never met you
that I lived with out remorse
but I still think of your taste
and the dreams come back in force
I wish that I were special
and far away from here
there's to much sentimental value
I still can't shake this fear
thank you mr russia
it's not really your fault
but someone has to take the blame
and even if I found you again
it would never be the same
thank you mr russia
beauty in the unlikely
torchered former glories
it's an alcoholic love story

Yell until your noticed
scream until your heared
I still can't wash this blood from my hands
remember how it hurt
a beautiful wife
a beautiful wife
We're not enemies we just disagree
your the prettiest star when you whine for me
We're not enemies we just disagree
your the prettiest star when you whine for me
i'm weary and i'm cold
i don't wanna be alone
not tonight no not tonight
if i wake up from this dream
will you be next to me
oh tonight come home tonight
I would make you, I would make you
a beautiful wife
I would make you, I would make you
a beautiful wife
i had a broken heart
i gave it to you
now there's me when there's no me and you
I'd do anything, I'd do anything
just bring my baby back to me
I'd surrender, pay any ransom
just to have you back here with me
It's not the same without you, It's not the same without you
It's not the same without you, It's not the same
It's not the same without you, It's not the same without you
It's not the, It's not the, It's not the same
I would make you, I would make you
a beautiful wife
I would make you, I would make you
a beautiful wife
Say a prayer for me, Say a prayer for me, Say a prayer for me
Sing softly now, Sing softly now, Sing softly now, hear you sing
a beautiful wife
a beautiful wife

Daylight is fading but I can’t look away
My eyes are bloodshot I can’t make you stay
I feel broken withered and blue
It’s just my innocence leaving with you
my nerves are shot i'll never play again
just the blues that I've got and a heart that won't mend
you were my only you were my queen now i'm filthy dirty washed in gasoline
hold me now while the saints cry
hold me now while the saints cry
hold me now while the saints cry
tonight
Oh how I’ve wept, and oh how I’ve moaned
Since you’ve been gone no place is home
I feel like this feeling, this Just can’t be real
Promises promises there something you steal
All these provisions hopes and dreams
All of these words don’t mean a damn thing
I’m drunk on whiskey, I can’t afford wine
In the funeral procession three cars behind
hold me now while the saints cry
hold me now while the saints cry
hold me now while the saints cry
tonight
I hope I never fall in love again
I hope I never have a heart again
I hope it dies with you, I hope it dies with me
holding hands
hold me now while the saints cry
hold me now while the saints cry
hold me now while the saints cry
tonight
I hope I never fall in love again
I hope I never have a heart again
I hope it dies with you, I hope it dies with me
holding hands

Dope Sick

dope sick
and I’m dancin’ with the blues again
what can I say, yeah yeah yeah
it’s to late to call a doctor he'll never mend this wounded heart
I’m content to lie here in the gutter and watch this whole damn world fall apart
something borrowed
someone blue
it’s to tell you
I don’t wanna be sober
I’m just getting older
standing there on your big day
happy anniversary to the one that got away
you're the one that got away
dope sick
don’t feel sorry for me know
I haven’t forgotten it was me that pushed her away
I’ve been a fool of so many things, I suppose that’s how it goes
something borrowed
someone blue
it’s to tell you
I don’t wanna be sober
I’m just getting older
standing there it was your big day
happy anniversary to the one that got away
couldn’t make you stay, drove you away
dope sick
guess I’m the dope now
well maybe I should look her up one day
but I know she won’t remember me
I'm just an old man with the another sad story to drown

Sunshine

it's been a long time
but here we are again
older and wiser
but still sick in the heart my friend
what was it you use to say when you looked into my eyes
was it "forever" or "until we die"
i can not seem to remember your lies
yeah i missed you too
i wondered what happen to you
what could of would of or should of been, it's true
but I've set that aside
sometimes i wonder why
you walked away into the night
i thought you'd always me by my side
now i just curse your name to the sky
what happen to the sunshine in your eyes
what happen to the sunshine
when i think of those days how we lay on the grass
i think i still love you inside
and always will until i die
it was like a dream to sweet to ever wake in the light
i came to you in your loving arms
what happen to the sunshine in your eyes
remember those promises and secrets
you can't say that i didn't try (i tried)
glowing look you gave me
it (you) made me feel like i was alive
what happen to the sunshine in your eyes
what happen to the sunshine in your eyes
what happen to the sunshine in your eyes
what happen to the sunshine

to see you
to touch you
to taste you
be with you
and i hope and I pray
I pray for you everyday
all i do is think of you
i hope you feel the same way too
comin' round the bend again
comin' round the bend again
open wide to your dreams
open arms while you scream, at me
all I want is to be with you
I open up my heart for you
comin' round the bend again
will she come back again
you were always the best of me
you were always the best part of me
you’ll always be a part of me

nothing you could of said would save her
she had eyes that have known the ocean, restless and awake
and when she spoke
a voice like burning leaves
she wore a crown around her finger
from a kingdom long crumbled
some say she was a killer
but she never took a life
she buried generations
and cried so had it drew blood
she remembers having wings
she remembers having wings
nothing you could of said would save her
she remembers having wings
