She & Him

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan
And what did I see,
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels
Coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

California is a great big nation of one
They never knew what they wanted till it was already gone
What do they do with the light in the morning when they wake up alone?

They just go home
They just go home

You're the nicest, nicest boy I've ever met, and then
I think about you, then I think about you again
And again
Why don't we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Nothing at all for a while
I like the way you smile

I could be your state, and I could be your nation
It doesn't get better than home, now, does it?
Doesn't get better than home, now, does it?
I could be your welcome, I could be your greeter
I could be sweet, and I could be sweeter
I want to be where your heart is home

I want to see you with the light in the morning
There's never been such a beautiful morning to me, to me
Why don't we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Nothing at all for a while
I like the way you smile

I could be your state, and I could be your nation
It doesn't get better than home, now, does it?
Doesn't get better than home, now, does it?
I could be your welcome, I could be your greeter
I could be sweet, and I could be sweeter
I want to be where your heart is home

Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now

You told me I was the neatest thing
You even asked me to wear your ring
You ran around with every girl in town
You didn't even care if it got me down

Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now
Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now

You told everybody that we were friends
But this is where our friendship ends
Because all of a sudden you changed your tune
You haven't been around since way last June

Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now
Uh huh hm hm
Gonna get along without you now

So long my honey goodbye my dear

Uh huh hm hm

Well, I'm back in your good graces again
Remember when you told me that I was your only friend?
Well, you've made the best of this life
Where you never knew one day from the next
Dig your heels in, little girl, put 'em to the test

You've got to be kind to yourself
You've got to be kind to yourself

Well, I heard you had the blues again
It seems like all those little things add up in the end
Well, I know that you worry a lot about
Things you can't control
There are so many things we'd like to have
But we just cannot hold

You've got to be kind to yourself
You've got to be kind to yourself

I like to learn things slow
I like learning alot
I like to get it all again and in the end
You know you get what you got
I like to mean what I say
But it don't always come through
'Cause if i say it all again, again, again
It doesn't make it more true

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still

It's all just news to me
Don't really care if it hurts
'Cause if I knock it I won't know it
Then I know that it will only get worse
He was different at first
But then he won't understand
Because he's never gonna know me
If he doesn't want to just shake my hand

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still
I saw you lingering still

It's hard to be ignore
When I look at you
you look so bored
My baby my darling
I've been taking a beating

Well alright well alright
It's okay It's okay
We all get the slip
sometimes every day
I'll just keep it to myself
in the sun
In the sun

It's hard to take the blame
When I look at you
you're so ashamed
My baby my darling
I've been thinking Of leaving

Well alright well alright
It's okay It's okay
We all get the slip
sometimes every day
I'll just keep it to myself
in the sun
In the sun
Well alright well alright
It's okay It's okay
We all feel ashamed
sometimes every day
I'll just keep it to myself
in the sun
In the sun

There's thieves among us
Painting the walls
With all kinds of lies, and lies
I never told it all
What's in my pocket?
You never knew
You didn't know me well
So well, as I knew you

And I know, and you know too
That a love like ours is terrible news
But that wont stop me crying
No, that wont stop me crying over you

I'm not a prophet
Old love is in me
New love just seeps right in
And, it makes me guilty
Why do you look like that?
It's not all that bad
I'll see you sometime
Sometimes, lonely isn't sad

And I know, and you know too
That a love like ours is terrible news
But that wont stop me crying
No, that wont stop me crying over you
Ouuuuuuuuu
No, that wont stop me crying over you

We two are makers
Just made this mess
Two broken hearts don't beat
Any less, oh
There's thieves among us
Painting the walls
With all kinds of lies, and lies
I never told it all

And I know, and you know too
That a love, like ours
Is terrible news
But that wont stop me crying

No, that wont stop me crying over you
Ouuuuuuuuu
No, that wont stop me crying over you
Ouuuuuuuuu
No, that wont stop me crying over youuuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuuu
Youuuuuuuuu

Good times for a change
See the luck I've had
Could make a good man turn bad

So please, please, please
Let me, let me, let me
Get what I want this time

Haven't had a dream in a long time
See the life I've had
Could make a good man turn bad

So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the first time

Lord knows it would be the first time

So please, please, please
Let me, let me, let me
Get what I want this time

Lord knows it would be the first time

Talking on the phone and watching "Cribs"
He doesn't know what kind of guy he is
He's got a gold-plated ceiling and a TV show
A broken heart and he doesn't even know
He's glad to see you, yes, he's glad to see you
Open your arms and sing
The world's been waiting, they've been waiting for years
And they've just gotta hear it
The kids are waiting, they've been shedding tears
So open your arms and sing for us

The world can be quiet when you're up too late
I'm just a childhood prisoner of the garden gate
If it's broke then kick it, dust yourself off
Find a quiet place and have a good laugh
I'm glad to see you
Yes, I'm glad to see you

Open your arms and sing
The world's been waiting, they've been waiting for years
And they've just gotta hear it
The kids are waiting, they've been shedding tears
So open your arms and sing for us

I should have known better
With a guy like you
That I would love everything
That you do and I do, hey, hey, hey and I do

Whoa whoa, I never realized
What a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can`t you see, can`t you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You`re gonna say you love me too, oh oh
And when I ask you to be mine, I hope
You`re gonna say you love me too

Whoa whoa, I never realized
What a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can`t you see, can`t you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You`re gonna say you love me too
Oh and when I ask you to be mine, I hope
You`re gonna say you love me too

You love me too
You love me too
You love me too
You love me too
You love me too

Saw your face,
My hand you took
Just like in a story book,
And you got me
Yeah, you‘ve got me

I can’t even argue
Couldn’t cause its true
Now, you’ve got me
Yeah, you’ve got me

Got me tucked up in your pocket
Don’t know how you won my heart
‘Cause I locked it
Yeah, I locked it

I can feel your heartbeat,
Where I lay my head
‘Cause you’ve got me
Yeah you’ve got me

I can feel your heartbeat,
Where I lay my head
‘Cause you’ve got me,
Yeah, you’ve got me

Got me tucked up in your pocket
Don’t know how you won my heart
‘Cause I locked it,
Yeah, I locked it

My eyes are so bleary
I guess I'm young but I feel so weary
I've tried to express it
But I think Its all a bore
Its at the heart of me,
A very part of me


Speak slowly, I can't hear you
My mind keeps spinning closer and closer to the rain on the roof,
And the rain in my head,
and the things that you said
People take it further ahead
And it just gets so foggy
It's nowhere in here
And its everywhere else that I don't wanna be,
But I'm stuck here getting misty over you
I'm alone on a bicycle for two


Speak slowly, I can't hear you

I was takin` a walk
When I saw you pass by
I thought I saw you lookin` my way
So I thought I`d give you a try

When I saw you smile
I saw a dream come true
So I asked you, maybe
Baby whatcha gonna do?

`Cause I have been waitin` for a long, long time
For a boy like you
I won`t be waitin` any more cause I know
Baby, baby
I was made for you

Take it back
Oh, take it back
I don't want your lovin' , anymore
Let me live
Oh, let me live
It's not you who I sank for
So, don't sit next to me
Sit by yourself

I don't wanna' wonder whether you love me
I don't wanna' wonder whether you care
So, don't try to woo me
Don't try to fool me
Oh, I know all of your tricks
It's a possibility, you'll stand in my corner

So, don't try to woo mo
Don't try to fool me
Oh, I know all of your tricks

I thought
I saw your face today
But I just
Turned my face away
Your face
Against the trees
But I just see
The memories
As they come
As they come
And I couldn't help
But fall in love again
No I couldn't help
But full in love again


I saw it gitter
As I grew
And loved it
boy, I never knew
I thought this place
Was heaven sent
But now
It's just a monument
In my mind
In my mind
And I couldn't help
But fall in love again
No I couldn't help
But fall in love again


The cars and freeways
That pull me to stay away
Out of this place
My mother said
Just keep your head
And play it as it plays


The cars and freeways
That pull me
To stay away
Out of this place
My mother said
Just keep your head
And play it as it plays


I somehow see
What's beautiful in things
That are ephemeral
I'm my only friend , am I?
Love is just
A piece of time
In your world
In the world


And I couldn't help
But fall in love again
And I couldn't help
But fall in love again
And I couldn't hellp
But fall in love again
And I couldn't help
But I fall in love again
And I couldn't help
But I fall in love again
