I'll take the road to town A couple of brown bricks to take us there
I feel a change, that change A different place that makes me think of home
And home is so far away, so boring And so done
The asphalt between has taken away the sound, the music's on
What can love feel when it takes a toll?
The cash that takes away our souls
A lovely day if you think it's so, a lovely sound in the wind
There's nothing to be done, nothing to be done
So I make a call, a morning call, a call to arms
And things are said, and moments are shared We can't be anyone
Except what our cities and friends have made us, cause what else can build us
Except the guns, the change, the rolling wind So I feel electric
What can love feel when it takes a toll?
The cash that takes away our souls
A lovely day if you think it's so, a lovely sound in the wind
There's nothing to be done, nothing to be done
So why do I think of you when I think of leaving these people?
This town that's wearing me out in my home is calling
Why do I think of you when I think of leaving
These people, this town that's wearing me out in my home is calling
But then again, what is home these days?
I think it's something that's been taken away
The pollen falls in the spring, but so does everything
There's nothing to be done, nothing to be done
Every day I love music, some days I love music more than others, today I particularly am in love with it
And this is a song that I wrote, and it has a line in it that says,
You can still be true and be your father's son, but I think that's true
You will win your soul out like that
You try to be someone else, why not try something more like yourself
You can't go on like this like forever
You try to say, hey man, it's just an hour for all of your life
Long to end the best we can, all young and corrupt citizens
You can't still be true and be your father's son
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
You can't go on like this like forever
You try to say, hey man, it's just an hour for all of your life
Love of your life
You can't die, you can't die just like that
Go down, swing it, go down, swing it
You can't die, you can't die just like that
Go out, live in, go out, live in
When I first met them, I was wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, and they were like,
Who the fuck is this asshole?
And somehow in like seven days of snow in which we only hung out for three, I won over their hearts.
It was the grilled cheese. I do make a wicked grilled cheese.
So this is for them.
And yeah, it doesn't really have a name, but I call it darling, I've been drinking nights.
And it's about trying to not be such a shitty guy to girls.
Darling, I've been drinking nights and sleeping all day long
And wasting time still searching for what's wrong
It's been so long since I've had a place that I called home
And hanging out in back seats and in bars
Someday maybe you will make an honest man out of me
With you too, I will bed you down my room
I hold tight to friends I love, cause they're the best they come
And that's you guys, and this way I know I'm a lucky man
But I've built walls around this heart and they're never coming down
I'm selfish and I can't commit, I'm surprised you're still around
I'm surprised you're still around
Someday maybe you will make an honest man out of me
With you too, I will bed you down my room
But I'm not easy, though I'm a Roman, the worst kind you've ever seen
Cause if you could, I would bed you down my queen
With you too, I will love you as my queen
I used to have this friend and now I just don't know where he has gone
I think he built out walls to find out what else there is
And now I just don't know if he'll ever come back home
Well what is home when everyone around you pushes you away
Cause they are moving on, as if you were never born
Where will you come home, not anywhere at all
I think your friends have left you down all day to blame
I'm not sure who's pushing you into that dark room till 9am
With the crowd that you can't live without
You can scoot around, dodging bullets and the words that some friends say
When you're not around, try doing that for 10 years straight
Pulling out your hair and walking the streets alone
I think your friends have left you down all day to blame
I'm not sure who's pushing you into that dark room till 9am
With the crowd that you can't live without
