The Closer I Get
03:45

When I said I would try to be calm
I lied to prove myself wrong
The truth is in the details first
And the writing's on the wall
And the closer I get to being strong
The less to go wrong
When he said times are changing I thought he meant
Times were changing for the better but they weren't
The truth is in the details first
And the writing's on the wall
And the closer I get to being strong
The less to go wrong

Feeling right, feeling ok tonight
You inside
I don't think I made the right decision here
You and I we take it all in stride...
You and I rely on little things to get by
Feeling good, feeling like I should
Deep inside
I think I made the right decision here
You and I we take it all in stride...
You and I rely on little things to get by...
You and I rely on little things to get by

With your summer hat and smile
You came here to leave there
And as the sun stained your legs and your arms
The men arrive with their one-track minds
You like that they're there when they ask you the time
They say what they do, and they'll do what you say
And they'll tell you some lies if you let them stay
And you laugh but not too hard
And you look but not too far
Your eyes drift across the beach
And just before you reach me, he speaks
His face is red and he's talking to breathe
You get up to leave as the sun hits the trees
And you jump in the water with him at your feet
And I laugh but not too hard
And I look but not too far

Bullet

I turn the radio up again
Rolled the window down and took it in
I'm going too fast but I don't give a shit
Cause something's chasing me and I have to win
It makes sense to forget what it takes
It makes sense to forget what it takes
I found a bullet outside my door
I think it's me it was intended for
It makes sense to forget what it takes
It makes sense to forget what it takes
It makes sense to forget what it takes
It makes sense to forget what it takes

I saw you in line when I checked in
And I thought that you smiled, but I’m uncertain
I know all of the lines, but they don't work for me
So I just turned away and let it be
There's only two doors in between us
I got a bucket and I'll get some ice
We'll watch a movie and we'll feel alright tonight
We'll watch a movie and we'll feel tonight
On the way to my room, I saw you in the hall
Our rooms were side by side in this huge hotel
I could hear through the wall you were watching what I was
So I picked up my guitar and I wrote this for us
There's only two doors in between us
I've got a bucket and I'll get some ice
We'll watch a movie and we'll feel alright tonight
We'll watch a movie and we'll feel tonight
There's only two doors in between us
I've got a bucket and I'll get some ice
We'll watch a movie and we'll feel alright tonight
We'll watch a movie and we'll feel tonight

Between Us To Hold

I taught you to play guitar last night
We've been sick for days, and we were stuck inside
And I held your arm as you hit the string
I pressed your fingers down and started to sing
And our heater was shaking cause the city was cold
And my favourite guitar was between us to hold
And I held your arm as you hit the strings
I pressed your fingers down and started to sing, sing

Better Off Inside

Did you open your eyes when you first saw me?
Did you open your eyes when you first saw… me?
First saw me
It's funny how things make sense when your lonely
It's funny how you want more when your happy
I'm coming over, will you open the door for me
I'm better off inside
In your eyes, I see you in disguise
You're talking backwards, telling lies
Telling lies
It's funny how things make sense when you’re lonely
It's funny how you want more when you’re happy
I'm coming over, will you open the door for me
I'm better off inside

Memphis

How do you protect a forty-two year old from himself
I saw on TV his road manager speak of his demise
The pain is here
The pain is here
The pain is here
The pain is here
And it won't be long
In Memphis tens of thousands of fans payed their respects
The pain is here
The pain is here
The pain is here
The pain is here
And it won't be long

You are all I have
You are all I have
You are all I have
If you go away I don't think that I will survive
I'll wait outside the front door till you arrive
The light of day will shine inside of your eyes
Inside your eyes I'll see me there by your side
Am I all you have?
Am I all you have?
Am I all you have?
If I go way I know that you will survive
You're stronger than me, I have just realized
You won't be outside of the door till I arrive
The light of day will shine inside of your eyes

Am I all you have?
Am I all you have?

The light of day will shine inside of your eyes

I'll Tell Him Tonight

I remember the day it came
Flashing lights and sirens rang
They took you and put you inside
I walked the house ten times
And I'm riding down to let you know
That I love you although it doesn't show
When we argued about the car
I want you to know
That I am so
Thankful that you're here
How come everything has to change?
I wish were four and six and in the rain
When we were six and eight, we dressed the same
When we were 24 and 26, I wrote this down
And I'm coming down to let you know
That I love you though it doesn't show
When we argued about the car
I want you to know
That I am so
Thankful that you're here
