Love You Too Hard

Verse one
A filthy look and and a flirtiest eye, well there’s so much more than meets the eye
And you’re slow to let go when our hands accidentally touch
Something buried there just below the skin, I think I should warn you what you gettin’ in
There won’t be nothing left by the time we’ve had enough
Chorus
Careful what you say, I’ll take it all to heart
And I don’t know my own way, when I fall I fall apart
Careful what you do, it only takes a spark, afraid that I might break
I just love you too hard
Verse two
There’s still time to walk away, pretend that there was no yesterday
When we dug into the skin underneath each other’s clothes
But if you do baby don’t delay, cause this feeling’s getting stronger everyday
And I don’t know how big this thing is gonna grow
Chorus
Careful what you say, I’ll take it all to heart
And I don’t know my own way, when I fall I fall apart
Careful what you do, it only takes a spark, afraid that I might break
I just love you too hard
Bridge
It’s too hard.......
All broken pieces, the same ones defeated
The broken pieces, the same ones completed
Verse three
A filthy look and and a flirtiest eye, well there’s so much more than meets the eye
And you’re slow to let go when our hands accidentally touch
Something buried there just below the skin, I think I should warn you what you gettin’ in
There won’t be nothing left by the time you and I have had enough
Chorus
Careful what you say, I’ll take it all to heart
And I don’t know my own way, when I fall I fall apart
Careful what you do, it only takes a spark, afraid that I might break
I just love you too hard
Careful what you say, I just love you too hard
Careful what you say, I just love you too hard

My Love
Too much is not enough when it comes to love
Why you won’t know until you’ve grown
Just like I told you
Not like I’ve shown you
Do you long for another or do you just want to be alone
Do you fear I might smother all the feather’s you’ve grown
It’s just like I told you
Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing
Not like I’ve shown you
Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing
I just want to hold you
Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing
Before you go
My love, my love, it’s just the pain that you take
My love, my love, I know you feel like you break
My love, my love, I know you already know
My love, my love
It’s just like I told you
Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing
Not like I’ve shown you
Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing
I just want to hold you
Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing
Before you go
My love, my love, it’s just the pain that you take
My love, my love, I know you feel like you break
My love, my love, I know you already know
My love, my love
It’s just like I told you
Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing
Not like I’ve shown you
Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing
I just want to hold you
Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing
Before you go

Alright

Alright
Say what you want, do what you need
Convince yourself that you’re totally free
Earthquake come, everybody run
All that we got is our own two feet but it’s
Alright, yeah I’m upright
And I won’t drop, till the daylight
Well you can shoot the moon, crack the sky
Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow night
Well the liquor’s sweet, so’s the beat
Gonna light up the street, like Billie Jean and it’s
Alright, yeah I’m upright
And I won’t drop, till the daylight
It’s alright, if you don’t know the reason, it’s alright
As long as you’re doing it with feeling, it’s
Alright, yeah I’m upright
And I won’t drop, till the daylight
It’s alright, if you don’t know the reason, it’s alright
As long as you’re doing it with feeling, it’s
Alright, yeah I’m upright
And I won’t drop, till the daylight
Keep on dancin’ and you’re gonna slip
If you keep on smokin’ you’re gonna get ripped
Keep on poutin’ don’t bite your lip, stick your tongue out baby, have a nice trip
Let me tell you a little story about Jenny Mcgee, swore standing up that she could still pee
So I paid her 20 bucks and I said show me, spent the rest of my night cleaning up on my knees, well it’s
Alright, yeah I’m upright
And I won’t drop, till the daylight
Alright, yeah I’m upright
And I won’t drop, till the daylight
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright………….

Break of Day

Break of Day
Like the morning sun at the break of day
As I shake awake and I stand and sway
And I stumble out into the dawn, barefoot thru the frost covered lawn
Like the very first drag of a cigarette
When your head starts to spin before you get sick
And don’t it make you wonder why we were born at all
If we weren’t meant to try
Baby it could be
Baby if you let it it could be me
Baby it could be
If you fall in love again, make sure that you fall for me
Now everytime that the wind hits my face, chills on my spine like I first embrace
And I’m reminded of every touch, all the things that mean so much
And I’m sure you’ll agree there were times we were numb
When we strayed too far I wish we hadn’t done
But I know you can see my nerves are alive and without you with me there’s now way I’d survive
Baby it could be
Baby if you let it it could be me
Baby it could be
If you fall in love again, make sure that you fall for me
Fall for me
Baby it could be
Baby if you let it it could be me
Baby it could be
If you fall in love again, make sure that you fall for me
Baby it could be
Baby if you let it it could be me
Baby it could be
If you fall in love again, make sure that you fall for me
Fall for me

Mary Xmas
Intro
Hoo hoo hoo
Verse one
I met Mary Christmas on the third day of July, she was
Smokin’ outside Dimphna’s watching peacock brokers strut by, and she
Said they’re really cute in their skinny little suit, I got
Such a big thirst and I know they’ll leave me dry.
Verse two
Next time I saw Mary it was deep in January and I
Don’t think that she recognized my face.
She was snoggin’ in a corner with a balding Williamsburger in a
Dark but not yet trendy Red Hook place
And I started to get nervous that she might think I was pervin’ so I
Quickly devised a plan for my escape.
Just as I was leavin’ she blocked my point of egress put her
Hand upon me, looked at me that’s when she said
Chorus
Not a day has passed, since I saw you last
You have taken every piece of me
Not a day has passed, since I saw you last
You have taken every piece of me
Bridge
Verse three
So I went to Mary Christmas on the very next day
Down at the county courthouse but the magistrate was late. Must be a sign
Not to jump in, she said with a crooked grin, let’s
Race back to my place and leave the marriage to the gay.
Chorus
Not a day has passed, since I saw you last
You have taken every piece of me
Not a day has passed, since I saw you last
You have taken every piece of me
You have taken every piece of me
You have taken every piece of me
You have taken every last piece of me Hoo hoo hoo

Heavy

Heavy
And I push, you pull, we both end up on the floor
First left, then right, headlock, I bite, you cry
Come dawn, still there, all nails and pullin’ hair now
Pinned down, by you for the cost of what we been through
Heavy, take this off of me
Heavy, it’s gotten so I can barely breath
Heavy, this ain’t no way for us to live
Heavy, something’s got to give
Sawed off my legs, I dropped down to my knees and
While there you go, kick out what’s left of my teeth
And I know you care, but you gotta show it somehow
Cause right now I feel alone in pulling this plow
Heavy, take this off of me
Heavy, it’s gotten so I can barely breath
Heavy, this ain’t no way for us to live
Heavy, something’s got to give
First light, sunrise and I got a new outlook and
I vow stay proud, let the sun shine down on me
But first step I take, I trip and down I’m fallin’
Feel like the whole world come crashin’ down on me
Heavy, take this off of me
Heavy, it’s gotten so I can barely breath
Heavy, this ain’t no way for us to live
Heavy, something’s got to give
Heavy, something’s got to give
Heavy, something’s got to give
Heavy, something’s got to give
Heavy, something’s got to give

It's Only Love
Verse one
There’ a million reasons to cry, even more to make you smile
No matter which side the saddle you ride, either way, it’s alright
There’s a million places to be, some are far some just out of reach
When it is cold there is just you and me, none of them gonna bring us relief
Chorus
Tonight it’s love
We gonna rise, rise, rise above
If we go down, if we push or we shove
We gonna pick each other back up
Bridge
When I’m down upon my knees
Asking for relief
Will you come, will you come to me
Verse three
There’s a million people to love, fall everyday and still not fill your cup
If you are willing to give me your trust, our love is more than enough
Chorus
Tonight it’s love
We gonna rise, rise, rise above
If we go down, if we push or we shove
We gonna pick each other back up
We gonna pick each other back up
We gonna pick each other back up
It’s only love
It’s only love
It’s only love

Fallin' Again
Melt like the snow that's been kissed by the morning sun
Pool on the floor out of sight of everyone
Drip after drip as the temperatures dip
Frost movin’ in and it hardens again
Call out for summer it’s gone away
The longest winter without you today
I……….. am falling again
I……….. am falling again
Night seems so long when it starts in the afternoon
And come 2 AM the only heat you can gleam's from the moon
Chills in the gale as the powder does spin
Every step that you make three back from the wind
Call out for summer its gone away
But the longest winter without you for a day
I……….. am falling again
I……….. am falling again
Bridge
Melt like the snow that's been kissed by the morning sun
Pool on the floor out of sight of everyone
Drip after drip as the temperatures dip
Frost movin’ in and it hardens again
Call out for summer its gone away
But the longest winter without you for a day
I……….. am falling again
I……….. am falling again
I……….. am falling again
I want to fall right into you, pierce myself through you
Be the only one to move you, make you thaw again
I……….. am falling again
I'm wanna rub my hands together, till the sparks fly from their pleasure
I want to warm the very weather, that greets you each new day
Melt like the snow that's been kissed by the morning sun

Sugar Ray
Verse one
After all that we put each other through I still believe
That we can try to make it right I think it’s worth that much to me
And just because I never said you’re wrong doesn’t mean that you were right
And most of the time I just kind a played along hopin’ to avoid a fight.
Chorus
But there was a time when we were just falling in love
When every second together was still not enough
When holdin’ on was easier than breakin’ up
Verse two
There were times when I should’ve bit my tongue ‘stead I said more than I should say and here I go again
There were times when I should’ve let it out ‘stead I kept it bottled in
And just because I, I never said you’re wrong doesn’t mean that you were right
And most of the time I just kind a played along hopin’ to avoid a fight.
Chorus
But there was a time when we were just falling in love
When every second together was still not enough
When holdin’ on was easier than breakin’ up
Out Chorus
I been dying for you since you went away, for you
I been dying for you since you went away, for you
You been dying too
I been dying for you since you went away, for you
I been dying for you since you went away, for you
You been dying too
I been dying for you since you went away, for you
I been dying for you since you went away, for you
You been dying too
I been dying for you since you went away, for you
I been dying for you since you went away, for you
You been dying too

Walkin' Through My Door
Intro
Verse one
I could tell you in a minute, all the things you learned last year
And I could show you in an hour babe, I could try to wield my power babe
But I don’t think that you’d see it any clearer
I could hold you just a little, a bit longer than you’d been held before
I could pull your body close to me, but there is just no sure guarantee
It’s gonna help you walk thru my door.
B section one
See you comin’ round the bend, now my lonely nights will end
Put your ship into my shore, walk right thru my door
See you comin’ down the block, don’t you turn now don’t you stop
Put your pedal to the floor, come on walk it thru my door
Chorus
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Verse two
Well I could offer to carry, you and your baggage too
Every step I’d sing, let your name ring
Words that celebrate my love for you
Now it could take you another, another twenty miles or more
When you finally reach the end of the road, you’ll be standin’ right in front of my home, no more closer to walkin’ thru my door
B section one
See you comin’ round the bend, now my lonely nights will end
Put your ship into my shore, walk right thru my door
See you comin’ down the block, don’t you turn now don’t you stop
Put your pedal to the floor, come on walk it thru my door
Chorus
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Breakdown
Well I left about a dozen hints, dropped about a hundred clues
And I whispered in a thousand ears, in hopes that word might get to you
I left a trail of breadcrumbs for you to follow, and if there gone I’ll leave more tomorrow, and if that still don’t seem to do, I’ll leave a big old shiny pink balloon
In hopes that word might get to you
In hopes that word might get to you
In hopes that word might get to you
In hopes that word might get to you
In hopes that word might get to you
In hopes that word might get to you
In hopes that word might get to you
In hopes that word might get to you
Cause I got everything just right
In hopes that word might get to you
I got candles burnin’ bright
In hopes that word might get to you
I got music fill the room
In hopes that word might get to you
And it’s just the songs you like
In hopes that word might get to you
Well I paid my bills
In hopes that word might get to you
So there won’t be no chills
In hopes that word might get to you
And we got heat for days and days and days and days
B section one
See you comin’ round the bend, now my lonely nights will end
Put your ship into my shore, walk right thru my door
See you comin’ down the block, don’t you turn now don’t you stop
Put your pedal to the floor, come on walk it thru my door
Chorus
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door
Walkin’ thru my door Walkin’ thru my door

Intro

Footstep on the wet stone across the bridge
I’ll be waiting in the shadow, I’ll be wearing my red coat
Quickly time is fleeting and the way that my heart is beating I
I feel like I might explode and I hope that you can swim

Let me take your hand cause I’m not the strongest man
The way your love’s been pullin’ me, say you’ll never cut me free
Stay with me until the end, I hope that you can swim
Verse two
Careful, don’t leave footprints in your wake or your conscience
But we may never be here again
And there’s only so many times that you can cross the sand before
You decide to jump in, and I hope that you can swim
Chorus
Let me take your hand cause I’m not the strongest man
The way your love’s been pullin’ me, say you’ll never cut me free
Stay with me until the end, I hope that you can swim

Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, oh

And would you do it again, I hope that you can swim

Let me take your hand cause I’m not the strongest man
The way your love’s been pullin’ me, say you’ll never cut me free

Welcome Home
Verse one
Sat across in seat 4B, I wonder what those eyes have seen
And how to ask where they’ve been
And I know we may not think the same, but I‘d really like to know your name
And listen to you and hear what you been through
Pre-Chorus
Down whatever hole you crawled and what you said and all you saw
I bet you never ever thought you’d end up on this road. Welcome Home
Chorus
Welcome Home
Welcome Home
Verse two
Well I’m sure you dreamed of something better, if not ticker tape more than a letter
Thankin’ you for your lost youth
When you joined up to be such a force to save the world or at least yourself
And you come back to a country so confused
Those that claim they fought for you are the ones that bought and sold you through
And they made a mint off your three tour stint
Pre-Chorus
Down whatever hole they hide I hope that they don’t sleep at night
No victory is worth the price of carrying their load
Chorus
Welcome Home
Welcome Home
Welcome Home
Welcome Home
Bridge
Since you left been such a mess, Bushfire killed all as it spread
Surplus for your children’s mouth was the first thing that those fat cats spent
I wish I could say they talked to you but those talking heads they just turn blue
Just in case they don’t take care of you let me be the first to say
Chorus
Welcome Home
Welcome Home
Welcome Home

Singing Nettles
Intro
Verse one
It ain’t the first time that I felt this way
Won’t be the last before we go
Now I would never forget that look on your face
So much disappointment mixed with so much love
Chorus
Don’t be afraid that the sun won’t shine
I have kept it close with a ball of twine
But then again I have always been
Too busy catching rays to ever learn how to tie
Verse Two
Now I remember when you were young
Do you remember where we would go
Down that lane all covered with shade
Stinging nettles laughing through the pain
Chorus
Don’t be afraid that the sun won’t shine
I have kept it close with a ball of twine
But then again I have always been
Too busy catching rays to ever learn how to tie
Verse Three
I know you remember every word I didn’t keep
But still you’re able not to hold them against me
I guess I’m just hoping’ that somehow you know
That I meant every single promise I ever broke
Solo over verse changes
Verse Three
Now that you’re gone why don’t you be free
So that you know it was worth leaving me
If you keep coming back it will never heal
It will be just like it was before but with different bandages
Chorus
Don’t be afraid that the sun won’t shine
I have kept you close with a ball of twine
But then again I have always been
Too busy catching rays to ever learn how to tie
Too busy catching rays to ever learn how to tie
Too busy catching rays to ever learn how to tie
