The Cure for Pain Lyrics - Jon Foreman



I'm not sure why it always goes downhill
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
I've spent ten years singing gravity away
But the water keeps on falling from the sky

And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I've tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away

So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
We're either riders or fools behind the reins
I've spent ten years trying to sing it all way
But the water keeps on falling from my tries

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I've tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away
A lie to run
It would be a lie
It would be a lie to run away

It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
Water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows, heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away

Ain't No Reason Lyrics - Brett Drennen



There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday
Preachers on the podium speaking of saints
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape cursing my name
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend you whole life working for something,
Just to have it taken away
People walk around pushing back their debts
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking about nothing, not thinking 'bout death
Every little hearbeat, every little breath
People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence

There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say the things I say
But I say them anyway

But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set my free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all
Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back make you sell your soul
Like a lung, it's filled with cold, suffocating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
The politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a three-piece suit
To argue the truth
The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Labor is stiched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love I try to follow

There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way,
We do it everyday.

Close Your Eyes Lyrics - Kelly Clarkson



I don't mind waiting here, I know you're coming
Even though the others left right here
But I'm not one to give up
We said forever so I'm standing here, I'm standing here
And I don't mind, you would never leave me behind

If you break, I break too
When you're lonely, I'll hold on to you
I see you closing down, but I won't give up now
I'm gonna fight for you tonight, close Your Eyes

You might fall and I might cry, covered in bruises
I refuse to let this tear apart our lives
Others talk, let them talk
Love isn't easy but it's worth for you
You're worth it yeah

And I'm kissing you
Kiss away those fears and hold on too
And I feel it too
And if you start to fall, I promise I'll fall with you

No I don't mind waiting here
I know you're coming even though the others left right here
But I'm not one to give up
We said forever so I'm standing here, I'm standing here

The Biggest Lie Lyrics - Elliott Smith




I'm waiting for the train
The subway that only goes one way
The stupid thing that will come to pull us apart
And make everybody late
You spent everything you had
Wanted everything to stop that bad
And now I'm a crushed credit card registered to Smith
Not the name that you call me with
You turned white like a saint
I'm tired of dancing on a pot of gold flake paint
Oh, we're so very precious, you and I
And everything that you do makes me want to die
Oh, I just told the biggest lie
I just told the biggest lie
The biggest lie

Flightless Bird Lyrics - Iron and Wine



I was a quick wet boy diving too deep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes wide on my plastic toys
And when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you? American mouth
Big bill looming

Now I'm a fat house cat cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the white fence cracks
Kissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
Or lost you? American mouth
Big bill, stuck going down

If I Had Eyes Lyrics - Jack Johnson



If I had eyes in the back of my head
I would tell you that you looked good as I walked away
If you could've tried to trust the hand that fed
You would've never been hungry but you never really be

The more of this or less of this or is there any difference
Or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore

Sometimes time doesn't heal no, not at all
Just stand still while we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
they won't let me in, always looking out

Lot of people spend their time just floating
We were victims together but lonely
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
Building with bent nails we're
falling but holding, I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
Time time time

See You Soon Lyrics - Coldplay



So you lost you trust
And you never should have, no you never should have
But don't break your back, if you ever see this
Don't answer that

'Coz in a bullet-proof vest, with the windows all closed
I'll been doing my best and I'll see you soon
In a telescope lens, and when all you want is friends,
I'll see you soon

So they came for you, they come snapping at your heels
They come snapping at your heels
Don't break your back, if you ever see this
Don't answer that

I'll see you soon

And oh, you lost your trust
Oh no, you lost your trust
No, don't lose your trust
No, you lost your trust
