The End Is The Beginning

You got me where you want me But I ain't all there. My head is gone, my brain is fried and I'm standing right here You can touch me if you want, oh-oh I don't really care But I have ruined everything that I've ever loved And I guess we have to play The cards we've been dealt And I guess I've got nothing But whatever happens happens 'Cause my life is falling apart Or is it getting better, I don't know Well you can kiss me again if you want I don't mind Well you can kiss me again if you want Oh that'd be fine

I'm a dead man walking here That's the least of all my fears Ooh underneath the water It's not Alabama clay Gives my trembling hands away Ooh Please forgive me father Ain't going back to Barton Hollow Devil gonna follow me e'er I go Won't do me no good washing in the river Can't no preacher man save my soul Did that full moon force my hand? Or that unmarked hundred grand? Ooh underneath the water Ooh Please forgive me father Miles and miles in my bare feet Still can't lay me down to sleep If I die before I wake I know the Lord my soul won't take, Ooh I'm a dead man walking I'm a dead man walking here Keep walking and running and running for miles Keep walking and running and running for miles Keep walking and running and running for miles, Woahh Ain't going back to Barton Hollow Devil gonna follow me e'er I go Won't do me no good washing in the river Can't no preacher man save my soul

Waiting in a car Waiting for a ride in the dark The night city grows Look and see her eyes, they glow Waiting in a car Waiting for a ride in the dark Drinking in the lounge Following the neon signs Waiting for a roar Looking at the mutating skyline The city is my church It wraps me in the sparkling twilight Waiting in a car Waiting for the right time Waiting in a car Waiting for the right time Waiting in a car Waiting for the right time Waiting in a car Waiting for the right time Waiting in a car Waiting for a ride in the dark

Wasted days and wasted nights I have left for you Behind For you don't belong to me Your heart belongs to someone else Why should I keep loving you, When I know that you're not true And why should I call your name When you're the blame for making me blue Don't you remember the day That you went away and left me I was so lonely Prayed for you only, my love Why should I keep loving you When I know that you're not true And why should I call your name When you're the blame for making me blue Don't you remember the day That you went away and left me I was so lonely Prayed for you only, my love Why should I keep loving you When I know that you're not true And why should I call your name When you're the blame for making me blue

Got a baby girl sleeping in my bedroom And her mama laughing in my arms There's the sound of rain on the rooftop And the game's about to start I don't really know how I got here But I'm sure glad that I did And it's crazy to think that one little thing Could've changed all of it Maybe it didn't turn out like I planned Maybe that's why I'm such, such a lucky man For every stoplight I didn't make Every chance I did or I didn't take All the nights I went too far All the girls that broke my heart All the doors that I had to close All the things I knew but I didn't know Thank God for all I missed 'Cause it led me here to this Like the girl that I loved in high school Who said she could do better Or that college I wanted to go to 'Til I got that letter All the fights and the tears and the heartache I thought I'd never get through And the moment I almost gave up All lead me here to you I didn't understand it way back when But sit...

I find shelter in this way Under cover, hide away Can you hear when I say I have never felt this way Maybe I had said something that was wrong Can I make it better with the lights turned on Maybe I had said something that was wrong Can I make it better with the lights turned on Could I be, was I there It felt so crystal in the air I still want to drown whenever you leave Please teach me gently how to breathe And I'll cross oceans like never before So you can feel the way I feel it too And I'll mirror images back at you So you can see the way I feel it too Maybe I had said something that was wrong Can I make it better with the lights turned on Maybe I had said something that was wrong Can I make it better with the lights turned on Maybe I had said something that was wrong Can I make it better with the lights turned on Maybe I had said something that was wrong Can I make it better with the lights turned on Maybe I had said something that was wrong Can I make it better with the li...
