Skipping Stones

A light hits the surface
You're smiling, I'm nervous
Your fire: desire
You're pushing me farther
The glass on the water
Reflects all the reasons I fight everyday
But what you gonna say
When all these ripples turn to tidal waves
We're gonna shake it up
Shake it up baby
Oh baby
Shake it up shake it up
Baby
Got it down to an art
Skipping stones across my heart
Keep tossin and turnin
You're laughing, I'm learning
My ocean: emotion
The currents, you fought em, the rocks on the bottom
Are smooth by the time they wash up from the wave
But what you gonna say?
When all these ripples turn to tidal waves
And you know we'll never be the same
We're gonna shake it up
Shake it up baby
Oh baby
Shake it up shake it up
Oh rocking my world
Rocking my world lately
Shake it up, shake it up

Guess You Were Right
04:47

I don't know your name
You didn't know mine
The day that you told me
Two sweethearts from high school could never survive
And here I am now
Both my feet at the door
Two eyes full of tears
And a left hand that's three ounces lighter than before
I guess you were right
I guess you knew best
That we were both quitters at heart
Our love was no match for our ignorance
You called it reckless
You called it a shame
And that's just what we became
I guess you were right
I guess you were right
I won't go outside
I can't stand the sun
Erasing this white right
I'm wearing here now that the gold one's gone
But I know winter will come
And as my body turns pale
I'll just become living proof
Every promise I make, it is bound to fail
I guess you were right
I guess you knew best
That we were both quitters at heart
Our love was no match for our ignorance
You called it reckless
You called it a shame
And that's just what we became
I guess you were right
I guess you were right
I can't stay inside
With all these mirrors on the wall
The man in the glass never speaks
But the look on his face, it says it all
I guess you were right
I guess you knew best
That we were both quitters at heart
Our love was no match for our ignorance
You called it reckless
You called it a shame
And that's just what we became
I guess you were right

Dozen Black Candles
03:13
|
|||
|
A dozen black candles
We lit and laid out
In the shape of a star on the floor
Through smoke and mirrors
We'd search our reflections
Hoping we'd find something there to live for
Or to die for
Or to die for
And our beds would shake sometimes
With the curses of old angels
Till the only proof we could find for heaven
Heaven
Heaven
Was Hell
We called the local parish
The night she lost control
Balled her fists till her hands tore the skin
The living room carpet
Was stained with blood
As she was forced to bow and bow again
She spoke my name in languages that no one's heard for centuries
And from the lips that kissed me came a phantom voice
I still hear the noise
Two years later
They found her body
In a car, in a ditch, by the road
They called it an accident
But you know it still haunts me
That they took her and left me alone
'Cause my bed still shakes sometimes
With the laughter of those angels
Till the only proof I can find
For Heaven
Heaven
Heaven
Is Hell

Provider
04:25
|
|||
|
Found a little sparrow in the yard today
He'd fallen from the nest down to the earth
Not big enough to fly, not frail enough to fracture
So he walked the sod and waited to be saved
Momma worried sick when she came home for him
But when she found him crying in the dust
She turned her beak away and flew back to her family
And he starved to death alone under that tree
Are you my provider?
Are you my provider?
Are you my provider still?
The sycamore outside lost all its leaves today
Another month and I'll be losing mine
My friends, they always say the world ain't ready for me
The truth is, I'm not ready for the world
Are you my provider?
Are you my provider?
Are you my provider still?
A piece of fruit is all it takes to kill a man
A cross of wood is bound to do the same
Well, I suffered through them both and rose up with my Savior
I know now that you give me all I need
You are my provider
You are my provider
You are my provider still

Goodbye
Hope I'll see you again
On the colder side of December
On the lonely side of forever
Pray the frost don't last so long
And I'll try
To remind myself
Our spirits stay with each other
They follow wherever we wander
At least I hope they do
I hope they do
Tonight my table's set for two
Ain't found nobody else can love me like you do
So if you don't mind it, my friend
I'm just sitting with your spirit again
I miss you
Goodness knows I do
Was every good thing made to suffer?
I miss you like I miss the summer
But even that comes round once a year
The table's set for two, my dear
Looks like another evening with this empty chair
So if you don't mind it, my friend
I'm just sitting with your spirit again
If you don't my it, my friend
I'm just sitting with your spirit again
