Have You Ever?

well I grew up moving round the southwest
yeah I came up from an orange grove
and I never really knew my father
before his life came to a close
so I gave in to the music
mastered six strings silently
then emerged in new york city
for my cafe days to begin
but have you ever
known me to be wrong?
then from sin-e to the world's stage
ends of the earth and back again
landed on that big bad delta
for the next sound to begin
so I called up my friend Tom
sketched out sweethearts for a drunk
with my four-track by my side
demon john and a big ol' trunk
I went down to the muddy river
waded into the stronger tides
and when you turned your back on me
I lifted up into the memphis sky
Now I sing to eternal angels
Yes I sing to my lasting grace
and now I finally know my father
when I look him in the face

We know it's never quite contrary
To what you had planned already
Like something's creeping up from the behind
While nothing ever comes out right,
I know that you're coming home tonight
When all this dust settles from this fight
Yeah, you can scream it from the rooftops
You can scream until your lungs burst
I don't mind
Yeah, you can scream it from the rooftops
And you can tear my fucking heart out
I'll be fine
So you'll be searching far and wide
Contemplating all your lies
While I'm here crumbling down from the inside
While nothing ever comes to mind
When looking in your arid eyes
And thinking why I'm staying on your side
Yeah, you can scream it to me
And you can tear into me,
I don't mind

I could stand here and listen to this all day
Trying to discern the difference between what you do and say
but it never seems to come out clear
knowing everything that you've done wrong is still ringing in my ears
oh, but doesn't it seem so real
when we collide, the stars align tonight
so take me up and let's get lost
in the dust of a galaxy where we'll escape this frost

Control
03:23
|

|
we've already said all we need to say
we've already had it out
so take those petty words and pack them all away
cause we've already had it out
if there's a little heart beating in your chest
then you'll know to let it go
if there's a little voice screaming from inside
then you'll never lose control
we've already had all the little fights
from thirty years but over five
so take those petty words and pack them all away
cause we've already had enough

Bad Situation
02:54
|

|
your timing is so bad and you never could connect the pieces to this puzzle that you call your sorry life
so mad when there's no time to make it
the way you wanted to
you're suckered in to a bad situaion
and you'll crash and you'll burn
you're wasted again and you neglect everything
that you know that you should do
you throw your life away
no time to fuck about
lie around or wallow in your self depreciation
for everything that you say and do
so why do I let you get so low?
