Nicole Atkins

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

Stars shining bright above you
Stars shining seem
to whisper I love you
Birds singing in
the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty night and kiss me
Just hold me tight
and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone
and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but
I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to
linger til dawn dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams til
sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that
leave our worries behind
But in your dreams
what ever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but
I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to
linger til dawn dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams til
there like find you
Sweet dreams that
leave our worries behind
But in your dreams
what ever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Careful where you walk
Remain in the light
Watch where death resides
Find you from all sides
Vultures circle in
Heavy like a stone
They take all they can get
Until you're dirt and bones
Na na na na ooo ooo
Their bullet's the coin
Their bullet's the bomb
Their bullet's disease
Their calling card, their song
My bullet's to grow
Penniless and old
I take all I can get
Until I'm dirt and bones
Na na na na ooo ooo
Take all they want now they lick from a bone
Na na na na ooo ooo
I can disappear
From who I'd like to be
Simply run away
Hide behind the sea
Vultures circle in
Heavy like a stone
They take all they can get
Take all they can get
Take all the can get
Take all they can get
Until you're dirt and bones
Na na na na ooo ooo
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na ooo ooo
Na na na na
Na na na na
Sometimes the past can weigh on me until I can't breathe
Ahead there is a tiny star that even I can see ooo ooo

You oughta ask her
If two wrongs make a right.
Cause our love's a dark disaster
Since I turned on the light
Everyone stumbles in spite of themselves
But you're holding the cards,
You're not sharing the wealth.
So I cry, cry, cry
Don't you know how I feel?
I've been low on your lies,
Why you're high on a hill.
So I try, try, try
But it does me no good,
And you won't hear my warning.
It's a bad day darling so I cry.
Love me forever
But the trust has been lost
You won't waste it
You'd hurt me never
Now the line has been crossed
I hung your picture
In there by my door
And the folded up page,
That's the crease in your heart.

So I cry, cry, cry
Cause I don't understand
How I'm under the spell
Of a confidence man
Oh I try, try, try
But it does me no good
And you hear my warning
It's a bad day darling so I cry

Oh I cry, cry, cry -
I'm stuck where I stand
While you're running around,
Should be holding my hand.
Oh I try, try, try,
But it does me no good,
And you hear my warning.
It's a bad day darling so I cry.

Don't shake the change out of your pocket in the boardwalk
Cause that might wake someone there beside you who will scold you, boy
My tears could learn to play the violin
But it might not bring you back
At least we'd have a pretty soundtrack

Think of me in a prison of Hotel Plaster
Far from the shelter of your side
Take me back to the Rocking Horse, pray for answers
Hold on to our life, Hold on to our life

Don't leave your lover waiting all night by the window
She might not be the kind who will forgive you when the meal gets cold
I know we've hurt each other pretty bad,
But this midnight horoscope
It tells me there's a little more hope

Think of me in a prison of Hotel Plaster
Far from the shelter of your side
We broke the diamond with our bitter words
Hold on to our life, Hold on to our life

I spelled out your name written with all the stars I see
And like that you vanished instantly

Love, oh
You will come to me, you'll come to me, you'll come

Blinded by familiar strangers, deafened by their sounds
I could never follow you around
I'll wait by the Annex door until my poisoned mouth
Takes all my intentions to the south

Love, oh
You will come to me, you'll come to me, you'll come
Love, oh
You will come to me, you'll come to me, you'll come
To me in time, to me in time, time, time

And the little things, the smallest habits
Are the hardest ones to break
But I'm breaking all the ones I used to love
Because I'm seeing through you, seeing right through you
I'm seeing through you, seeing right through you now

I spelled out your name written with all the stars I see
And like that you vanished instantly
Love, oh
You will come to me, you'll come to me, you'll come
Love, oh
You will come to me, you'll come to me, you'll come
You come to me [x8]

Telephone, all alone, ringin' obscene
Can't believe what this girl is saying to me
And if that little girl don't shut her mouth
She's gonna get a black eye
'Cause my baby don't lie, yeah my baby don't lie

Said he was out with Amy cutting a rug
Holdin' her, kissin' her, smoking her drugs
And if she keeps on spreading rumours
Well that bitch is gonna have to die
'Cause my baby don't lie, yeah my baby don't lie
Asked my friends "Did my man stray?"
"Yes he did! Yes he did!"
And it took my breath away
I'm small yet strong, but I can't hold on
The weight of love you left behind
The weight of love you left behind

Telephone, all alone, ringin' obscene
Can't believe this is really happening to me
If that little girl don't shut her mouth
She's gonna get a black eye
'Cause my baby don't lie, yeah my baby don't lie
And if that little boy don't watch his hands
He's gonna get a black eye
'Cause my baby lies, yeah my baby lies
And if that little boy don't shut his mouth
He's gonna get a black eye
'Cause my baby lies, yeah my baby lies

Lay down your love, he commanded
And with those words I sealed the fate that was mine
Dark magic in your eyes
In dangerous ways you came and swayed a change in me
I gave my breath so I could suffocate your fire
Still it's the hate in your words I came to admire
Love waves goodbye, empty handed
You were the devil, now I'm turning into you

All through these years I have waited
For your nocturnal tongue to tell me I am found
And with a coolness I'm jaded
Fall to your knees and dig my heart up from the ground
Love waves goodbye, empty handed
You were the devil, now I'm turning into you

I wake in the morning, eyes open
They burn like they've never been closed
Heart beats loud like a thousand drums
Mother, will I explode?

War is hell, our civil one
War is hell, be civil love, and...
Leave me never to wound you
Find me when calm comes to you
And hold me in your arms
This civil war of ours
I leave from the city at 7 or 8
And listen to talk radio
All of the stories so familiar
Mother, will I explode?
Back to my town where the wolves are waiting
Priming away in the dusk
Every hour contemplating
Love, trust, anger, lust

War is hell, our civil one
War is hell, be civil love and...
Leave me never to wound you
Find me when calm comes to you
And hold me in your arms
This civil war of ours
And hold me in your arms
This civil war of ours

Leave me never to wound you
Find me when calm comes to you
And hold me in your arms
This civil war of ours...
And hold me in your arms
This civil war of ours
This civil war of ours

The boots you wear are heavy
Rest now, I'll wear them for a while
And as you lie there sleeping
I'll walk down and retrace every mile

All the lines around your eyes
Show the battles deep inside you
They are no match for me
They are no match for me
They are no match for me
And what I wouldn't do
To wear your heavy boots
To wear your heavy boots
To wear your heavy boots
La, da, da, da, da

The sea is wide and angry
It's merciless, and waits for you to drown
Your arms are tired from swimming
The violence is written on your brow

I will take away the hurtful words
And swallow them with courage
They are no match for me
They are no match for me
They are no match for me
And what I wouldn't do
To wear your heavy boots
To wear your heavy boots
To wear your heavy boots
La, da, da, da, da

The warriors are waiting
For you, outside on the street
And though you're only waking
Rush now, you'll never miss a beat

All the hungry virgin eyes
With the scorpions in their smiles
When their greedy fingers rise
They are no match for me
They are no match for me
They are no match for me

We built a tower for all the town to see
Bricks, concrete, metal and memories
Inside the rocks and stone, spaces became our home
Arguments echoing, love made me so high

Searching for words for the end
But we built the tower too high

When the light finally dies and we look to the sky
Will we finally know why
The call the dawn the morning
And I'd wish we'd said goodbye
Years flying by, trapped all alone in the sky
And you stories down and all our loved ones outside
Our words turned out all wrong
Intentions lost in halls
Now all I want to do is tear down the walls

Searching for words for the end
But we built the tower too high
When the light finally dies and we look to the sky
Will we finally know why
The call the dawn the morning
And I wish we'd said goodbye

Seems like the final day you'll ever come my way
So please forgive me if I hold on too tight, too tight
Tight, tight, tight
There's a tower, there's a tower
There's a tower, crumbling
Crumbling, crumbling, down

So when the light finally dies
I'll know the answer to why
They call the dawn, mourning
Wish I could've told you goodbye.
