Wild eyed queen of nowhere and mistakes She’ll do whatever it takes To free your beast and open the gates Open the gates Say your goodbyes, you’ll be flying high and low She closes her eyes and a coin she throws Up in the air it spins and soon you’ll know Soon you’ll know With her I can never compare Look at those dancing eyes and her golden hair You’ll be getting high on only air Don’t you go, don’t you dare You call heads for east and tails or west Blindsided by her beauty you feel blessed You swim in her blue eyes, I know the rest I know the rest

Will you find me hiding behind the red oak tree? You count so loud, the time is running out I have already broken all of my rules Still you’re not looking Your hands covering your eyes I will still give you every morning I will still give you every day and every night Please don’t close your eyes Please don’t let it be goodnight Will you find me hiding behind the blue curtains? I see you through the frosty glass With my dreams in my hand Now the sun is peeking through With company of strangers Still you’re not looking Your thoughts covering your heart I will still give you every morning I will still give you every day and every night Please don’t close your eyes Please don’t let it be goodnight How come I always beg for your forgiveness? When I never did anything wrong. How come I always follow your ways? When I like my own I will still give you every morning I will still give you every day and every night Please don’t close your eyes Please don’t let it be goodnight Please don’t close your eyes Please don’t let it be goodnight

So I‘m packing my suitcase, but what will I bring And I’m starting to wonder, will you fit in I’m afraid you’re not there when you’re not around Will you tear down the corners of my mind? I heard from the friends I had right from the start It’s supposed to sting when you’re apart Empty bottles and hollow eyes, When they’re gone, you sleep on their side I’m gonna tell you tonight That I ain’t staying around I’m gonna tell you so many times That I ain’t staying around Sure sometimes I think of you when you’re not there But those times are few even though I care And I cried when I told you the truth Cause the truth is, my truth is without you Well, you smiled when I told you I was moving on And your smile made me cry even more I never felt ordinary when you’re around I got carried away now my feet are back on the ground I’m gonna tell you tonight That I ain’t staying around I’m gonna tell you so many times That I ain’t staying around I’m gonna tell you tonight That I ain’t staying around I’m gonna tell you so many times That I ain’t staying around I know you would give me your best day Just so my bad one would go away If I could steal tomorrow for us I would, but I’m afraid it would get lost I’m gonna tell you tonight That I ain’t staying around I’m gonna tell you so many times That I ain’t staying around I’m gonna tell you tonight That I ain’t staying around I’m gonna tell you so many times That I ain’t staying around

I’ve grown tired of all this talk All the words you throw around will go down with the morning lights And all the good intentions drift away I know you once had them but you lost them on the way All this great expectation All the ways to do it right All this talking about it All this talk about what you might While the morning breaks. I’m in the shadow of your ways I close my eyes And the sun quickly fades Looking at the sky You’re gonna meet a lot on your way But remember to watch your footsteps Cause it’s crowded on a sunny day All this great expectation All the ways to do it right All this talking about it All this talk about what you might While the morning breaks. I’m in the shadow of your ways I close my eyes And the sun quickly fades All this talk from all directions All at once And the words spin around me in circles A storm is close Taking time was never my strong side If I fall I’m not done I’ll take the long run While the morning breaks. I’m in the shadow of your ways I close my eyes And the sun quickly fades While the morning breaks. I’m in the shadow of your ways I close my eyes And the sun quickly fades

I woke up to see Nashville for the first time this morning. I just jumped on a plane without a warning. Miss Excitement held my hand when I was boarding But the plane ride was long and it got boring I talked to Mr. Regret the rest of the way He’s been my right hand these days And when I arrived he gave me a real slap in the face I got so confused I almost forgot my suitcase So don’t you worry, I’m not by myself Say hello to all of my friends They all give me a lot of help On the way, on the way Mr. Heartache also tagged along for the ride And boy does he bring me some fine lines to write He keeps reading the love letters I’ve been trying to hide I told my friends I got rid of them, but I lied So don’t you worry, I’m not by myself Say hello to all of my friends They all give me a lot of help On the way, on the way At the local store I met some other guys I know It was Bud and Miller and I gave them a ride back home We partied all night long and put on quite a show Mr. Desire and I danced real tight and slow So don’t you worry, I’m not by myself Say hello to all of my friends They all give me a lot of help On the way, on the way

Hurry Up 04:08
The kettle on the stove whistles A sad melody I look out of my window It’s a good view from here Hurry up before I’m gone for good Darling this song is for you Standing on the lonely Side of goodbye I’ve seen the sunrise Alone too many times Hurry up before I’m gone for good Darling this song is for you Hurry up before I’m gone for good This song is for you wherever you are

Darling won’t you take me home I wanna be with you alone Darling won’t you take me home I promise I’ll be good I went away To open up my heart again But when I did It led me back to you I know I love easily But this time it’s true I know I love easily But don’t take me for a fool Buzzed whisper in the summer night Light kisses and smoky eyes I know I love easily But this time its true I went away To open up my heart again But when I did It led me back to you I know I love easily But this time it’s true I know I love easily But don’t take me for a fool I went away To open up my heart again But when I did It led me back to you I know I love easily But this time it’s true I know I love easily But don’t take me for a fool Darling won’t you take me home

I blame my mama for my overthinking But who am I to blame I blame my boss for my long hours But I’m the one punching the clock so late No wonder I’m tired and out of shape I blame my neighbors cause their hedge is overgrown But my garden has seen better days I blame my friends for never calling But I’m the one calling back a bit to late I tell their voicemail: I got better things to do anyway I keep on blaming everyone that I know I push them further away until I’m on my own I only got myself to blame I only got myself to blame I blame my ex for leaving me behind I wasn’t pretty without the sun in my eyes I blame the sad songs when I cry But I can only fake it for a little while I know I’m to blame. No one can stand my sight I keep on blaming everyone that I know I push them further away until I’m on my own I only got myself to blame I only got myself to blame I keep on blaming everyone that I know I push them further away until I’m on my own I only got myself to blame I only got myself to blame I only got myself to blame I only got myself to blame

I miss the smell of your golden hair And the silver lines we painted in the air So you charmed your way back in and the morning after Mr. Ashamed was by my side it was a disaster! Don’t try to fake it, I’ll see right through you Don’t try to fix it, cause I’m not waiting here all blue And you thought I’d sit at home with my puffy eyes But they are long gone, like you I’m afraid With all the tears I cried All the tears I cried You’ve made your mistake and sorry just won’t do Stop feeding me that line that I know isn’t true You’ve made your bed and I will no longer tag along Cause now I’m glad that you’re gone Don’t try to fake it, I’ll see right through you Don’t try to fix it, cause I’m not waiting here all blue And you thought I’d sit at home with my puffy eyes But they are long gone, like you I’m afraid With all the tears I cried All the tears I cried Don’t try to fake it, I’ll see right through you Don’t try to fix it, cause I’m not waiting here all blue And you thought I’d sit at home with my puffy eyes But they are long gone, like you I’m afraid With all the tears I cried All the tears I cried

My feet used to fit in the palm of your hand My first word was the same as from your mouth Your bandage was sometimes wrapped too tight I was the first, extension of your high hopes I got a lot of used to’s When I explain what I do I got high hopes I learned it from you I got high hopes. I got high hopes I hope I fit in your shoes Your hand used to curve over my fingertips Your hugs gave away the true you You wrapped me in the finest silk I was your first. I grew into being second I got a lot of used to’s When I explain what I do I got high hopes I learned it from you I got high hopes. I got high hopes I hope I fit in your shoes I remember you to be as tall as the houses on our street I remember you to be as proud as you could be I don’t know what will come of me when you’re no longer here Who will people see? I got a lot of used to’s When I explain what I do I got high hopes I learned it from you I got a lot of used to’s When I explain what I do I got high hopes I learned it from you I got high hopes. I got high hopes I hope I fit in your shoes
