Fairweather Johnson Lyrics
Be The One
I wonder
Why are we involved
With the seasons
And the living of our own
Let me see if nothing's wrong
I just want to be the one (She) wanted
You still give her all our lives
Let her be son
Who is she buying
See her crawl
Ill just make it out (We dont see it bleeding)
I want to die with you
(Something no ones needing) I left the other day
But youre never here
You only listen to things you want to save
But the power its ok with you
You knew Id find something else to do Let me be the one
(we dont see it bleeding)
I wanna fly, I wanna die with you
Something no ones See its not like they
Are gonna take my faith away
Let me in its ok now
Close the door Is it really needing
When you find a place
Thats only yours Just go he beams
Well Ive died for good now
Let me feel it
Let her come---let her run---let her run (Now)
Let me be the one
(We dont see it bleeding)
I cant feel it, I cant see it
(Something no ones needing)
I feel dumb-----------------------------------------------
Old Man & Me
Well an old man said to me
In a voice filled with pain
Where you going young man
Said Im going to fight a war
Gonna fight for my country
In some foreign land
He said "The sun will never hurt you
Never harmed anyone
But you must realize"
If you try to stare her down
She will win in the end
She will burn your eyes
She will burn them Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven He said "Boy I was young once
Yeah I was tough
Sailing on Uncle Sams boat
Hey I could kill the enemy
I could die on foreign streets
But I could not vote
But now you walk by me
You wont talk to me
Say this is my fate
But every time you walk the streets boy
Most of them you meet
You see its you they hate
Its you... Seen a million faces
Seen a million places die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven
I hope I get there Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get there See this woman sitting next to me
Shes been there for a long, long time
And when I fell, she picked me up
When I cried, she wiped my tears
I thank god shes mine
And when I leave this world
She wont have anything
But her love for me
Cause the man took everything else
Made me hate myself
So just let her be boy
Wont you let her be
The Earth Stopped Cold At Dawn
Another reason to doubt me
Another teardrop falls
Cant wait for a friend when loneliness calls
Another kiss in the basement
Pour salt on my tongue
No one cries for heros left unsung Look at me when Im talking to you
Look at me in the eyes
Then look away and tell me why...why Another tasteless movie
Another kiss goodnight
Could be a dark oasis in my life
Another icon smashed to pieces
By yesterdays romance
Another hated person no more chances Look at me when Im talking to you
Look at me in the eyes
Then look away and tell me why...why Playin with a happy boy
A cold place for a man
Familiar faces in a foreign land The hands kept spinning around the face
But the earth stopped cold at dawn
For a moment, then moved on
For a moment, then moved on...
Honeyscrew
Fly inside
Feel me dealing
Holding on to a story just told
About a man whos the life of a funeral
Grabbing on to a woman whos soul
He just stole for a dream he dont believe in
Now she sits and she yells for a smile
"Dont let the sun make me feel lonely"
Oh let me in let me in let me in Is it me
Or is it honey We all seem to hold
To Something we dont see
Is He here
Is He there
Where does He live
Some people say in the pull of a heartbeat
Some people say in the mind of a stranger
I cant explain what it is I believe in
So take your heart take your mind and escape Is it me
Or is it honey
Is it me
Or is it honey Is it me trying to raise your little children
Is it me trying to take your little flame
Why are you trying to steal my judgement day away
Let me scream let me scream let me scream
Dont take it away Another day in the arms of the real thing
Another day in the eyes of a fool
I called today just to make me feel hopeless
Lie to me and Ill try to believe
Let It Breathe
Could we do it again
If he asked how it felt
And I didnt say this time
You tried to scare me with empty thoughts
That means not a thing
Cause Im down behind you
Could we swing it again
If I changed how he looked
And turned to the right to bend
You live with something that I cant explain
But your face cracks a smile when you see it shining You feel things in your own way
And Im supposed to lay down and bow to you
Im tired of bailing hay for something that I cant see
I dont want to be you
You don't want to be me.
Just let it breathe If the moon goes up tomorrow and Im down on a farm
And you dont believe whose writing with me
Keep your hands to yourself
Keep your mind to yourself
Keep your breath to yourself
Let me float on by you You see things in your own way
And Im supposed to lay down and bow to you
Im tired of bailing hay for something that I cant see
You dont want to be me
I dont want to be you Its so very necessary
Its so delectable to see a stone
Its so impossible to find a reason
When youre standing there
Watching me now Could we live it again
If we dressed just the same
And held on to lovers when
We couldnt really live with anyone
See mostly ourselves so just go on lying You feel things in your own way
And Im supposed to lay down and bow to you
Im tired of bailing hay for someone that I cant see
I dont want to be you
You dont want to be me
Just let it breathe
Let it breathe
Silly Little Pop Song
One things for sure
I just cant find the way
To let it seem like all is wrong
Inside my denHold back
Breathe easy
She said to me
Go somewhere and change your mind
Just let me sleep Ive been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen Is it anger at life
Or are you happy to be with me
Are you seeing someone Or will your faith
Go with no other man
Come on
Let me dream Ive been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen
No need to worry bout all the lying
Please just come inside Its a thing
To make me want to go
See another
That makes me doubt Ive been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen
No need to worry about all the lyin
All the changing
Please just come inside
Fool
Saw you last night
you were sleeping in my mind
Doubting youll ever be free again
Then I climbed back inside
Someone open my eyes
To find me drunk again
Bonnie on the radio
And she was singing low "Give it up or let me go"
Every night there is one more
Every night there is two more
Saying I shouldnt be feeling this pain
I think I better grow up now or go insane Theres so much I feel
So much I conceal
Theres just so many things I can be Someone write the story of 5 points
No one wanted to know me
Now they all have opinions of what we do
So they go down to Bar None so we can have a drink or two
Cant write a story from the trees
I know somewhere shes watching me
Saying "Boy carry your load"
Oh I dont want to go back on the road now Theres so much I feel
So much I conceal
Theres just so many places to see
And faces I can read
Theres just so many things I can be
When Im Lonely
Eyes like an infant
Staring me down
She'll take anything thats tied up
In my glorious past Its just 4 days til Sunday
When I say that Im gone
Little one screams you cry
Tell the pain to leave me alone Its just 2 days til Monday
Another week til the 4th
Is anyone listening or
Should I call on the Lord Sometimes I breathe
Sometimes I see
Then I dream a dream that wont come true
And I struggle with lies when Im lonely Someone called my name out loud about 4 a.m.
It wasnt you so I let her in
Just to see what she wanted
She left screaming because I called her by your name
But the next day she came to call
And we finished our game Alright now
Some days I breathe
Some days I see
Then I dream a dream that wont come true
And I struggle with time when Im lonely Shep plays piano down in
Shandon on the other side of Rosewood
You said he wasnt your type
But you went anyway
You left screamin cause you thought you would
Call him by my name
Ah and you whisper
Why do I do this
I cant go through this why do I do this, why Sometimes I breathe
Sometimes I see
Then I dream a dream that wont come true
And I struggle with life when Im lonely
