Lyrics_

Got an '85 in the shade of red, stood by the door as you left me in,
Making stupid faces in the rearview, I can't stay mad at you.
Found yourself at 18 singing away, in a box under your bed are your mumma's tapes,
Take me by the hand and you spin around, making the most of the time you've found. 

And it's long gone, 
it's long gone, 
it's long gone without you. 

Found myself at 18 searching for more, a six string on the bed and a map on the floor, 
Marked our way through LA with hopes too high, nothing but a chance and an aliby. 
Liked you just too much and I think you knew, it was so easy once to run after you, 
You change the radio and I know that place, never thought I'd be the one to stay. 

CHORUS

And I lay out your cards in the rain, 
The weight of odd we couldn't save, 
And in that grey shirt I gave you away, 
The summer days can only fade...

Kept you up all night just to look at your eyes, didn't know how much it would kill me this time, 
Morning came as you held me slow, now I'd be watching you go.

CHORUS

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR LISTENING!

Lyrics_

We grew older by the time we were 18, 
Lost our warmth when the seasons got colder and all of this time I grew mean. 
His clothes on my bed when you knocked on my door, 
It was the way that she dressed, and her friends,  and the chase you lived for. 

I downed the drinks, broke my phone, 
Kept his kiss as I cried all the way home, 
Lost my mind, for no better than worse,
And I believed in love 'cause I  wanted to hurt, 
And for you to be bothered. 

When I said forever I meant all that I could, 
And when I said it's over I never thought that you would – go on and on.
And I call all of your friends sometimes to wonder where you are, 
It's lonely now, colder out, is she as good as I was?

I threw out your pictures and the mix-tapes,
And I left myself out for someone else to take,
Took the pills to stop thinking of her,  
Let them leave me stranded cause I wanted to hurt
And for you to be bothered. 

And we made our beds, 
But you had to share it, 
And his hands are in my hair,
All this time I just wanted you to care.

Tears turned to dust, smack on the pavement, 
Stupid girl I think you've been mistaken, 
And in his car and the sunset rolled in,
Just for you to look this way  gave up everything...

I downed the drinks, broke my phone, 
Kept his kiss as I cried all the way home, 
Lost my mind, for no better than worse,
And I believed in love 'cause I  wanted to hurt, 
And for you to be bothered. 

For you to be bothered x2

Lyrics_

In the carpark, you're kind of nervous, 
And she don't know she's the reason for all of this. 
I've got brand new shoes, 
To make it much easier to run after you.

You go to bed with the lights on, 
The voice inside your head 'til morning comes, 
And I stayed up with myself, 
My heart on the ground, 
And I know worry is sweet, but you don't have to worry 'bout me.

Take a slow back, we fell apart beautiful, 
And days we hover in silence is when it shows. 
And I know, we mess up, 
But you ask how I'm doing too much. 

CHORUS

I took back tired eyes, god laid out for me, 
And all highest heights, only time would reach, 
And on wired lines, caught me in defeat, 
And I tried and I tried and I tried.

I go to bed with the lights on, 
Cause I wake up still thinking, there's days to come, 
And I gave up myself, 
With my heart on the ground, 
And I know the color of your eyes still read my name..

CHORUS

Lyrics_

Not much but rough faithful hands
Another stranger to walk past
Some thought they knew who he was but they never asked
Thought your dreams were done
And I was reading the rolling stone one day
93’ wrote the bitter end of fame
To relive the words you said that way
And I still think about it

And maybe this time you’re not around
But It's August now

All the city lights calling out your last name
Heading for Hollywood and the hall of fame
Take any chance even though it could turn out wrong
You were crazy green eyes with a beat down guitar
Singing like she was here in this empty old bar
Like it’s a shelter to where you left off
And that’s where I remember you from

The dark days, like you lived in fear
Tabloids broke your guard and make it clear
A tape the closest I have to you, here
And I’m not the only one
“In simplicity there is truth”
With ten bucks you were happily singing the blues
This brittle world was never ready for such bad news
But I never met you

“Hey Jude” and 4 track cassette
Was all you really wanted

CHORUS

All eyes on you, still you looked around,
Lifeless faces in ruthless crowd,
A ticket to the rainbow, through the one way street.
Don’t forget about me

And I was nine years old when I saw you first
I was running wild innocence wondering where you were
You’ll always be my favorite song
I love the sound of your beat down guitar
Singing like they were here in this broken old bar
Like it a shelter to where you left off
And that’s where I remember you from

And I thank you for loving what you left behind
I hope gods up there taking good care of your smile
You brought peace to the world with every chance you got
And that where I remember you from

Phoenix (For River Phoenix) - Original

Got your eyes on the wrong kind of prize
Stupid Girl, why even try?
You walk around with your head down
Stupid girl, there’s nothing you can hide.
And you’re thinking that you finally might be something,
The wind comes and knocks you down, back to nothing.

And this is how it’s gonna be now,
I’m gonna watch you break down,
It's just one big shot, can’t hurt that much
Next time around

Well, you really thought you had a chance 
Stupid girl, this is where you stand.
And when you look in the mirror today
Stupid girl, this is all you have.
Go look for an easy way to give up,
Cause honey, you will never be enough.

Chorus

Another scar to take,
And your hands start to shake
You’ve gotta make a choice right now.

It’s just one big shot, can’t hurt that much
Next time around
