Hold on baby, were going fast
the look on your face says maybe, This wont last
I can't tell you how hard I've tried
To keep this flame still burning bright
I sang you The Beatles
I sang you The Stones
You ain't singing me no love songs
I don't think it crossed your mind at all
You ain't singing me no love songs
and now my heart is for The Alcohol
the alcohol
So please excuse me for my sins
I don't think that I can keep them all within
Well you say that I say were ok but I don't remember
A time when things were good not awkward but I'm not that sober
You tell me I'm crazy you tell me I'm wrong
You tell me I was never that good at playing my guitar
You ain't singing me no love songs
I don't think it crossed your mind at all
You ain't singing me no love songs
and now my heart is for The Alcohol

For The Better

Well I find
Comfort in the woods
There I mind
The sound of a new brood
Take away the cars and trucks
Jets and rolling trains
Leave me with the birds and the
Blissful harmonies
I dont want to go
I know that I cant stay
The wind Begins to blow
I must move on they say
I feel like
A floating feather
Im searching for
A place For The Better
For The Better
Won't you come down
For a walk tonight
There's this little place
That I have in mind
and Ooh There's beautiful things
In the wild
and Ooh
Its from where you do derive
I don't want you to go
I know that you can't stay
The wind begins to blow
Its blowing you away
I feel like
A floating feather
Im searching for
A place For The Better
For The Better
Well I feel like (I feel like)
A floating feather
Im searching for (searching for)
The Better
For The Better

I couldnt wait to find my Love
Over a stormy sea
I couldnt wait to tell you
How I feel or if you
Felt the same
You make me feel like a
Heavy wave has brought me
To safety
You make me feel like I
am sober in a blur
of ecstasy
All of this
All of it
She like to bake and I
Write songs were the life
Of our own party
We have our dreams of
driving away in a race
To nowhere
All of this
All of it
I could set my sails to your heart
All of this
When we grow old I will
fly us back to the place
We first met
Ill rent a car and we can
Drive again and retrace
our first steps

She Was The Best

Moved into a little house
Run by her so old
Said boy just pay your rent
Keep your toes from the cold
Oh keep your toes from the cold
Months went by things going fine
still livin me the same old mess
Sharing laughs, whiskey and noise
and getting them girls undressed
Oh getting them girls undressed
She did find me all along
In the same damn shoes that i've been travelling on
The whiskey still hung from my breathe
She didn't mind, it was her favourite kind
She was the best
Took her out on new years eve
I never felt so bold
Dressed real nice to impress her friends
Spoke of things untold, Oh I spoke of things untold
She did find me all along
In the same damn shoes that i've been travelling on
This cheap cologne could pass no test
She didn't mind, it was her favourite kind
She was the best
Clock struck twelve and I looked around
Tryna find my kiss
next to me I was shocked to see
Her lips on another man's miss
Oh her lips on another man's miss
My sailor Jerry tattoos
my large collection of men's shoes
my poor taste in fine red wine
She didn't mind
It was her favourite kind
She Was The Best
