I’m finally learning people won’t just change because you want them to
I didn’t think it’d be so bad if I told you what I hoped for you
But it was wrong to rev the engine in your heart
Should have known that I was trouble from the start

Maybe I crossed the line / lord knows I’ve done it before
But you’re tougher than me so I thought it would be just fine 

5 million coats to paint the cold grey skies into powder blue
Nobody man needs an honest filled with bourbon in their living room 

And I woke a sleeping giant in your mind
Cause it’s hard to just keep quiet call the time
And it was wrong rev the engine in your heart
You should’ve known that I was trouble from the start
 

I smell a fire in the kitchenette, dear
I think we oughta let it burn, hey how about you? 
because it took a little time to get here
ain’t it funny how you never learn to let life do? 

Hold my hand honey nothin’ we can’t get through
I don’t care ‘bout nobody else but you

Now i’m howling at the morning moon dear
She knew that I’d be calling you, didn’t think so soon
i’ve been feeling sort of out of place here
out of place until i met you

hold my hand, honey, nothin’ we can’t get through
i don’t care ‘bout nobody else but you

maybe i’m just getting older
nothing ever seems to shock me anymore
so let me rest my head on your shoulder
It doesn’t take much to fix me anymore
 

Bloodshot lines on the white of your eyes / it isn’t that hard to see
Yeah you talk a real good game little girl / you’re never getting nothing from me
You’re feeding on fear but you can’t stop crying like a tomcat tied at the teeth
Yeah you talk a real good game little girl / you’re never getting nothing from me 

If I ever left you a loan you’d probably take the money and die
Why’d you have to leave me alone? The Good Son is getting tired

I got a tattooed flower on the side of my heart / scrapes on your bended knees
Yeah you talk a real good game little girl / you’re never getting nothing from me
If brother keeps going gonna lock him up tight / Daddy’s gonna find the key  
Yeah you talk a real good game little girl / you’re never getting nothing from me
 

Seven songs we danced, don't let it all be for nothing
Take me home, and give me something to remember Baltimore
If I get the chance I'll call you from new york city
Cause there ain't no girl as pretty as the girl from baltimore 

Babe… I don’t wanna go back to the motel with the band
To stay up with the chamber maids, and talk about travelling plans
My mother didn’t raise me, to let you walk back alone
Yea i know you done about it a hundred times, but baby let me get you home. 

I know what you’re thinking but baby it just ain’t true
Most nights I wait out back to bum cigarettes off the crew
Tomorrow morning I’m leaving but I won’t be back till June
So who cares what your friends are thinking, they’ll all forget me soon

And I swear I’m only looking for conversation
no expectations on my mind.

If i thought my heart could find / if i thought my heart could find a way
A way to  to leave these wild nights behind / hang up my guitar and walk away. 
 

close your eyes i am here
and you can rest assured that i will be here when you wake dear
the Culver line another year
restless 24 I hate to say you’re signed away here

and you know we've got bills to pay
gotta find our way through life another day
and you know trouble ain't goin away
but we'll find our way through life another day

and if the sky should disappear
the moon won't have a place to spend the night / can we put him up dear?
a blanket bed, on the hardwood floor
I bet no shooting star ever showed them a love like ours before

and I find it kind of hard to fall asleep
without wondering what our sorry life would be like
if i don't catch a break and you run out of photograph's to take

but I know we'll find a way to make it through
I’ll just re-adjust my dreams and call em new
I think I’m finally letting go
the holding on was harder than you know 

close your eyes I am here
and you can rest assured that i will be here when you wake dear
