youโre holding tight to it, the answer.
went home and learned how to clean up after myself.
i donโt need a microphone.
iโm getting hard on myself.
she had one white eye, one blank stare.
i realize that youโve realized.
one of these days iโm bound to choke.
it hit me that i do all the little things that you do.
i got another job at the liquor store.
hey, if you ainโt gonna use it, just give it to us.
i bet we could build a home.
it didnโt take much longer.
look closer and you can see how iโve been running it.
i know youโre gonna ask it.
iโm a martyr for my love for you.
your mother put her money into platinum and now you never have to pay attention.
didnโt care what harm was done, just as long as they won the prize.
you canโt switch them around for your own satisfaction.
there was a time when all i wanted was my ice cream colder and a little cream soda.
the hunter became the prey.
theyโre gonna catch you.
anybody got a christmas tree?
you just keep on repeating all those empty โi love youโsโ.
it probably donโt make much sense to you.
in that graveyard, iโm gonna have the shiniest pair of shoes.
iโm bringing back ghosts that are no longer there.
iโm trying to save you.
you probably wonโt get what iโm going to do.
i was freaking, i was ready to go.
it might sound a little strange for me to say to you, but iโm proud to be you.
look at all this, you donโt want it?
come on and give it to me.
itโs a shame, what a lame way to live.
sooner or later, iโll break your smile.
iโm slowly turning into you.
iโm gonna say these words to you.
maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you.
my dumb-luck fake competence was getting weak.
youโll probably call me a fool.
i feel like i canโt go through with this.
this place is like a mansion.
yeah, broke as iโll ever be.
making sense of it all takes a whole lotta concentration.
i guess you have to have a problem if you want to invent a contraption.
iโm doing exactly what a coward would do.
if you donโt want it, weโll take it.
you say you deserve better.
in their mind there can be no sin.
youโre more beautiful, compelling and stronger.
their roles were reversed from that day.
i love all the little things.
i donโt know what to do.
i saw some stuff in your yard, are you going to give it to us?
you built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall.
we can do something with them.
iโm breaking my teeth off.
iโm wondering which one of them i should choose.
every time, you get defensive.
well you canโt blame a baby for her pregnant ma.
for a secโ i thought i sounded sweet.
put your head on my shoulder.
well the hills are pretty and rolling.
i hit myself with a stone.
weโll be taking whatever you got.
if youโre headed to the grave, you donโt blame the hearse.
i hate to sound cold, but you donโt know what love is.
if youโre testing god, lying to his face, youโre gonna catch hell.
if you donโt want to give it to us, we keep walking by.
youโre not hopeless or helpless.
if you go looking for hot water, donโt act shocked when you get burned a little bit.
i suspect youโve got a respectable side.
i dig your little laugh and iโm loving your quick wit.
you left me brokenhearted.
iโm sending in, the moneyโs in the mail.
i know the right thing for me to do is to leave you alone.
i ainโt saying iโm innocent.
next time they stab you, donโt fight back.
you canโt take the effect and make it the cause.
iโm slowly turning into you.
thereโs nothing left for me to tell you.
i just swallow it and hold on to it and use it to scare the hell out of you.
why donโt you kick yourself out?
my head got a bump when i hit it on the radio.
this battle is in the air.
well sooner or later the groundโs gonna be holding all of my ashes too.
i even love it when youโre faking it.
no, sheโs my only daughter.
itโs for someone elseโs benefit.
youโre just looking for a fight.
we got married on the tennessee border.
they were just another conquest.
i got a dollar bill in the cockpit.
make some money out of them at leastโฆ
each beautiful thing i come across tells me to stop moving and shake this riddle off.
just play the victim instead of playing the fool.
they were out to make a conquest.
you burnt my house down, then got mad at my reaction.
theyโre annoying as hell, in fact.
you say iโm lying and i never really tell you the truth.
iโm walking away from you.
itโs plain to see that heโs not one of us.
they just end up doing the same thing.
iโm wondering just how i can do that.
i ainโt the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call.
your face is getting older.
every highway that i go down seems to be longer than the last one that i knew about.
something else came to mind.
i ainโt supposed to kiss.
i can still see your face.
look, i see something over there.
one sound can hold back a thousand hands.
my mind is filled with rubber tires and forest fires.
weโll make something out of them.
have you got something shiny for me?
i hope you appreciate what i do.
you keep blaming me for what you did.
oh well, iโm bone broke.
you donโt know what love is.
iโm beginning to like you.
it made everything clearer.
the hunted became the huntress.
an alley full of rocks was all i had to care about.
well, i canโt keep from laughing.
they donโt really care because they pay them.
