Nicole Atkins - Neptune City (2008) by Nicole Atkins (보컬) on maniadb.com

I foresaw you like an old ghost story
From a family tree that was handed down to me

I've known you like a siren song that warns
I have been informed you could be the death of me

But patience bounds an eternal stone
You were meant to be mine
I draw a dual with the cards of gods
That were played in fate and time

I know we'll meet again
Maybe tonight
Just tell me where and when
I know it's never sure
Maybe tonight

Sky whispers in a baritone
That the mystery always beats what I am shown

Search the the dial for what i need to know
They don't play those songs on my radio

I am raising a flag
I am just too tired now to fight
It’s white and it’s waving
Can’t we save this for another night
I used to be afraid, but now I crave the quiet
Together we are both alone, but I don’t mind
I’ll dream of something to try and make us all right

Baby, put your arms down
They’re machines that can’t be fixed no more
Causing the alarm sounds
I’ll be right here waiting at your door
We’ll sit up on the bed for a while
Together we are both alone, but we don’t mind
We’ll dream of something to try and make us all right

But the dawn is trouble
When I close my eyes, you never go away
I’ve tried everything, still you won’t change
Is it better if you go…

But the ending doesn’t matter
One hundred days, and then the suffering stops
Running faster through this
Hope to save your heart before it drops
And you can never say I didn’t try
Together we are both alone, but I don’t mind
I dreamt of everything, I tried to make us all right

It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right

Don't tell me
My love's not the one that I want
That he's not the one that I need
I'd rather
find out for myself

You're the one
Who shakes at the touch of my hand
but can't decide where he should stand
If I was smart
I'd never call you, call you
ever again

Oh, in my ears
my blood is just roaring
when he's the only one I've ever wanted
I suppose that's just the way it is

Just to think this could be
The last time I hold you, hold you
ever again

Oh, I don't think I'll ever sleep till
morning
Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted
Oh, and in my ears
my blood is just roaring
Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted
I suppose that's just the way it is

There’s a million ways
To leave your past
And turn your eyes
And watch it die

Hometown hopes they fade
They fade and change
Just like a joke
Passed down in time

Hiding out in alleyways
And sleeping on the beaches
In the summer
We would try anything
Anything just once
If it seemed cool enough

Everyone I’ve known
That has turned cold
When they felt old
Their fear has stayed
Hometown heroes fall
As years go by
Like dominoes
A dark parade

I’ll go anywhere
I’ll go anywhere you want
If you’ll take me
I know that I don’t know you very well
But you seem cool enough

I don’t care where you’re going
Just take me with you
This place’s got nothing
That I could want

But I think that someday
I might feel different
Feel that someday
Oh, still that someday
Just take me with you

Maybe ive been fooling myself
for thinking you should come back
and my last letter's going to break
all of the bridges we've spent years to make

all i can do is explain
all of the reasons i cannot stay
ive been to the front lines
and now there's no trace of hope left inside

ive been taken too far
i cracked when i tried to press my luck
hoping you'd come pick me up
but my heart is war torn, war torn

if one's born into battle
and doesnt know any other kind of life
how could the battle seem so bad
when its all you've known and all you've had

ive been taken too far
i cracked when i tried to press my luck
hoping you'd come pick me up
but my heart is war torn
war torn
this love is war torn

> Ive been trying to know you
You seem a ruthless one
What is your history?
What is your history?

What do you want me to show you?
What past is buried at sea?
Would you confide in me?
What is your history?
Im at your will once again

Love surreal, love surreal
Its the only way that were allowed to feel
Love surreal, love surreal
If you think that we can work it out
Lets take it from here
Take it from here
Take it from here
Take it from here

Ive been trying to reach you
But youre a ruthless one
Look what youve done
Look what youve done

If some balance existed
And I could see through the sound
Id give you everything
Id give you everything
Im at your will once again

Love surreal, love surreal
Its the only way that were allowed to feel
Love surreal, love surreal
If you think that we can work it out
Lets take it from here
Take it from here
Take it from here
Take it from here

You can't see me from this view
All the way down
Trailing the procession
I'll hide out a few more days
Then I'll be leaving this place soon

Our hearts are singing out just for you
A cemetery song for summer
And if we knew just what we could do
A cemetery song we'd not sing

I'm sitting over Neptune City
I used to love it
It used to be pretty
I'll come down, walk around a while
Until I'm sure I can never go home again

Maybe if I paid attention
I could learn to love the landscape I was born to
By the river in the rain
Let it make me new again

Our hearts are singing out just for you
A cemetery song for summer
And if we knew just what we could do
A cemetery song we'd not sing

I'm sitting over Neptune City
I used to love it
It used to be pretty
I'll come down, walk around a while
Until I'm sure I can never go home again

Friday nights on the seventh floor
(FOURTH OF, JULY, BROOKLYN'S, ON FIRE)
Paper backs on the corner store
(FOURTH OF, JULY, BROOKLYN'S, ON FIRE)
Looking over the ledge, the sidewalk traffic starts to spread
Summer's begun across the bay
And no bit of silence remains

Oh, Brooklyn's on fire, and fills July hearts with desire
Sleep will not come, until the morn
Cause tonight your memory is born
La dee da, la dee da

And the band's not begun just yet
(FOURTH OF, JULY, BROOKLYN'S, ON FIRE)
Fifty names you're bound to forget
(FOURTH OF, JULY, BROOKLYN'S, ON FIRE)
Black and blue on the lakes
Wear badges from happier days
Late in the night, in '84
Walked in through the old out door

Oh, Brooklyn's on fire, and fills July hearts with desire
Sleep will not come, until the morn
Cause tonight your memory is born
La dee da, dee da, dee da

(FOURTH OF, JULY, BROOKLYN'S, ON FIRE)
(FOURTH OF, JULY, BROOKLYN'S, ON FIRE)

I'm caught in the way, of tears from much happier days
When we were young and unafraid, of stupid mistakes that we made

Oh, Brooklyn's on fire, and fills July hearts with desire
Sleep will not come, until the morn
Cause tonight your memory is born
Ladeeda, la dee da, dee da, dee da, dee da

I always pick all the wrong things to say
I left last night in utter disarray
If I held your hand
And swore that I'll never do this again
And gave my best try

Don't pull over just kill the headlights

You turn around and say don't go away
But I know you and you are bound to stray
It's a foul of men
They swear that they'll never hurt you again
Then give their best shots

Don't pull over just kill the headlights

'Cause if you feel strange hit the road
'Cause people who are afraid don't make good bedfellows
So please understand,
My heart you won't have it again
So just don't try

Don't pull over, just kill the headlights

You seem surprised
That I'm leaving
One bit of some good love
And I am gone

Darling, why you look so sad
Has this place got you anxious
Trust me, it's not you
I've been wondering for days
How to make them go away
There's just one thing to do

Let's go go go before a normal reaction
Gets us in trouble all over now
And I won't won't won't ever let them hurt you
Never again, love, all over now
Oh, it's just a dream

This night's enough to make me weep
And the company you keep
They don't seem to have a plan
Darling it is almost morning
This is our last warning
Let's get out while we can

Let's go go go before a normal reaction
Gets us in trouble all over now
Darling stay close to me
And I won't won't won't ever let them hurt you
Never again, love, all over now
Oh, it's just a dream

Party's over now
Party's over now

So let's go go go before a normal reaction
Gets us in trouble all over now
Darling stay close to me (party's over)
And I won't won't won't ever let them hurt you
Never again, love, all over now
Oh, it's just a dream
