Wishful Thinking On Seagrass Shoal Lyrics

Straight from the witch’s brew
There’s colors just for you
But no one can see them, or touch them,
Or magic marker on their sleeves
Lemon, lover, give ‘em hell
Let grandma hear your rebel yell
I say pierce it, dye it, rip your jeans any which way
Little Green Knight mow the lawn
There’s always work to be done
Uh oh, but workin’ and working too hard
Will make you go pop

Doctor up that smile for me
And tell me it’s all right (Tell me it’s all right)
A little lie would help me sleep tonight
“The change will do you good,” they say
Yeah, well I felt fine before (I felt fine before)
So make believe
And lie to me once more

Mrs. Kellner make a toast
For you say you saw your father's ghost
They don't believe you
Forget them
'Cause I truly do
Swan he didn't want to wait
Took a bus across the continental United States
And saw Denver and Cleveland and Scranton
And tasted the wine
I hear it makes you go pop

Round and round we go
And not a day goes by
Without changing my mind
They say it's in my blood
To get like this
A fear I sometimes feel
So I breathe your woes
The world is flat
The world is round
It doesn't matter in this small town
Because no one leaves
And no one comes
This is all that it will ever be
And no one's gonna argue me now
I don't want to fight you in this made up land (Ad naeseum

Smile just a little more believably

Esmeralda take my hand
I'm going to Candyland
And you'll fit in much better
As a construction paper cut out

Like You Do Lyrics

In the wake of loving you
I've found a reason to be true
My bad intentions let me down
And I am laying here disarmed
I wasn't looking for true love
Just a little bit of fun
Now somehow I can’t let you go
Oh, oh oh, oh oh

Nobody does it like you do, like you do
Nobody does it like you do

Ain't that just the lovin' game
And I always played the same
Many have tried and many failed
Wear them as trophies 'round my neck
Gone are my ever-rambling ways
I'm gonna love to the grave
Only one thing I know for sure
Oh, oh oh, oh oh

Feet in the air head on the ground
Didn't know I was missing 'til I got found

Nobody does it like you do
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody

Be Your Strength Lyrics

I don’t want to lose this thing
I can see your feet slipping
Through mud and the dirt
We’ll make this work
Darling, I will be your strength

I know it’s been hard work
Lately it’s been getting worse
Some will deceive you
But I will never leave you

AIN'T NO USE IN CRYING
CRYING
CRYING
DARLING, I WILL BE YOUR STRENGTH

Don’t listen to what they say
People can say hurtful things
They don’t see you the way that I do
Let me be your everything
Even when the light is gone
As a living thing you push on
I’m part of you, you’re part of me too
And I will give you everything

Darling, darling

I’m part of you, you’re part of me
I’m part of you, you’re part of me

Good As Gone Lyrics

I left New York City and its winter sting
I woke up hours later to a Carolina spring
The snow on the streets had turned to blue-green grass
It had been a little while since I’d seen anything like that
Soon enough you realize all the things you’ve lost
A dream for a dream and that’s exactly what it costs
The hearth of a home you trade it for the road
The light of a lover it all goes to the show

Don’t go, I can’t stay little darlin’
When I make a plan
I take it to the bottom
Don’t go, I can’t stay little missy
When I made a plan to cross the Mississippi
Don’t go, can’t you see I’m good as gone?

It stays on my conscience with each new passing town
The death in my family that I won’t see to the ground
The memory of a man and all for which he stood
There’s many things I left that no one ever should.

Don’t go, I can’t stay don’t you get it?
When I make a plan it’s hard to forget it
DOn’t go, I an’t stay that’s for certain
You don’t need to hurt me, I’m already hurtin’
Don’t go, can’t you see I’m good as gone?

You can leave but don’t come back
You can leave but don’t come back
You can leave but don’t come back
Don’t let the Verrazano slam you on the way out, boy
You’re gonna be the death of me
It’s better than being half alive in New York City.

Don’t go, I can’t stay little vixen
When I made a plan to cross the Mason-Dixon
Don’t go , I can’t stay don’t you get it
When I make a plan it’s hard to forget it.
Don’t go, can’t you see I’m good as gone?

Hello everyone!

We've been getting a few requests to post the guitar chords and lyrics for "Fire," so here they are. When the full-length album, "Ain't That Lovin'," becomes available in early 2014, we're going to be releasing a chord book for the whole thing, so consider this just a little taste. 

Thanks very much!

Lyrics

You set a fire inside of me

If you get closer then you'll see

I'm sure you know

I'm sure you know

I've never felt this way before

But you are someone else's love

Far away I will stay

I'VE GONE THIS FAR WITHOUT GIVING IN

AND I WILL WAIT FOR YOU

WAIT FOR YOU

I'VE GONE THIS FAR WITHOUT GIVING IN

AND I WILL WAIT FOR YOU

WAIT FOR YOU

I've traveled the whole world it seems

And nothing fills that part of me

So it grows

More and more each day

I do not wish to cause you harm

Oh, how I cringe when I see her in your arms

Far away I will stay

I'VE GONE THIS FAR WITHOUT GIVING IN

AND I WILL WAIT FOR YOU

WAIT FOR YOU

I'VE GONE THIS FAR WITHOUT GIVING IN

AND I WILL WAIT FOR YOU

WAIT FOR YOU

Hands in the hive just a taste

Can you see it on my face

I will wait for you

I stand alone right by your side

Helplessly, I wait for the stars to collide

So you know, we belong
