The Long Way Down

We're taking the long way
Taking the long way down
This is the way we're going down
You move with dedication
You kiss like something secret
You leave me dizzy darling
And then you leave me speechless
So take my breath away
As if you even need to try
Bring me your holy sound
Sing me your love song baby
If we are going out
We're taking the long way
Taking the long way down
We ride this road to hell on
This path we've never doubted
They call us mad but
We can't seem to give a fuck about it
All eyes are fixed on you
As if there's ever any doubt
Bring me your holy sound
Sing me your love song baby
If we are going out
We're taking the long way
Taking the long way down
Bring me your holy sound
Bring me your holy sound
If we are going out
We're taking the long way
Bring me your holy sound
Sing me your love song baby
If we are going out
We're taking the long way
Taking the long way down

We were colors, we were killers
We were singers of night (And we were golden)
Dark stars on a velvet summer sky (Do you think about it, do you think)
And I’m swaying, waiting everlong
But I’m holding out…
And I’m still down from your love shot
I’m still down from your love shot…
I know you miss me, the way you kiss me
So catch your breath if you can (I think I like that)
Secrets in lipstick on the wall (Well do you think about it, do you think)
And I’m swaying, playing to your song
And I’m holding out...
And I’m still down from your love shot
I’m still down from your love shot
And I’m still down from your love shot
I’m still down from your love shot…
And I’m still down from your love shot
I’m still down from your love shot
And I’m still down from your love shot
I’m still down from your love shot...

Calm Down

I don’t think you’re good for me
I don’t think we’re meant to be
It’s not like you’re my destiny
I just want your love
Calm down just breathe
We’ve started something new it’s crazy
Heart on your sleeve
It’s tough to keep in line
And it’s tough to keep from losing your mind
Which is fine
I get it these things don’t just happen all the time
But I think you know
I don’t think you’re good for me
I don’t think we’re meant to be
It’s not like you’re my destiny
I just want your love
I just want your love…
Calm down stay cool
So we kinda caught on fire yeah that’s true
But let’s set some rules, you know, just to keep you safe
And just to keep from losing our way
And that’s ok
I get it these things don’t just happen everyday
But I think we know
That I don’t think you’re good for me
I don’t think we’re meant to be
It’s not like you’re my destiny
I just want your love
It’s strange that it gets hard to speak
It’s weird that I can’t get to sleep
Could you be my destiny
I just want your love
I just want your love all the time
Can’t get love off my mind
I want to hold her, think this over
(I think we should just keep things casual)
(I’m not really trying to put labels on anything right now)
By the way, I love you…
I just think you’re good for me
I just think we’re meant to be
Can’t you see it’s destiny
I just want your love
La la la la…
I just want your love...

Well this guy walks up to the stage, why ain’t you famous yet
I just smile and I thank him, I’m glad you like the set
But he pushes the question, says he wants to invest in
A singer that seems a sure bet
I just laugh it all off, hey put a tip in my jar
And he says, yeah but honestly you could go far
So tell me then how come you ain’t the one son
That I’m seeing rise up the charts
So I put down my stuff, and take a slow breath
Hey listen fella, don’t know what to tell ya except
There’ve been ten fucking assholes who told me they’d make me a star
Nine rat bastards that’ve mugged me outside of this bar
And eight more lines to tell you this gig life gets hard
There were seven soaked summers when I couldn’t get off the floor
And six deep heartaches that just left me asking for more
And five times this week that I’ve heard that question before
There were four homeless seasons I only knew passion or pain
Then three years I mixed up the two for the same
And those two concerts where I nearly died on the stage
But to answer your question, why you don’t know my name
The very first reason to end my refrain
Is I thought that someone would find me and take me away
I thought that I’d get discovered, but it’s me
It’s me who will make my own name
Well that sounds messed up, this life that you choose
I said I just think of Freddie, he said I never lose
So I’m gonna get there even if broken and bruised
Cause I might be late, and it may get hard
But it’s not all rotten just see how I’ve gotten this far
...In spite of those
Ten fucking assholes who told me they’d make me a star
Nine rat bastards that’ve mugged me outside of this bar
And eight more lines to tell you this gig life gets hard
There were seven soaked summers when I couldn’t get off the floor
And six deep heartaches that just left me asking for more
And five times this week that I’ve heard that question before
There were four homeless seasons I only knew passion or pain
Then three years I mixed up the two for the same
And those two concerts where I nearly died on the stage
But to answer your question, why you don’t know my name
The very first reason to end my refrain
Is I thought that someone would find me and take me away
Yeah I thought that I’d get discovered, but it’s me
It’s me who will make my own name

Fall With Me

I’m coming home and I can’t believe it
Six years ago I remember feeling
The taste on my lips and a demon in my heart
Sweet chariot from the colors rising
Changed how I sing so it’s not surprising
I love the way that you’re dancing in the dark
And it’s like light comes through
When I get lost with you
In the whole world there’s no place I’d rather be
There’s a whole world waiting there for us to see
I know everything I’m not
But what I’m missing’s what you got
So fold up your wings
And come fall with me
Call out your name like a sweet surrender
Everyday I can still remember
The strum in my hands and a legend on my tongue
We had to learn that we’re never finished
Everyday we’re just right there in it
Somewhere between where we’ll go and where we’re from
So let’s just take a beat
Come on and fall with me
In the whole world there’s no place I’d rather be
There’s a whole world waiting there for us to see
I know everything I’m not
But what I’m missing’s what you got
So fold up your wings
And come fall with me...

I got the lifeboat down alone
The water chilled me to my bones
I slowly rowed myself to shore
Cause you didn’t want me anymore
I watched the ship burn to the sea
With all hands lost but me
It was a ship that shared your name
I woke up shaking in the sand
The flag was still clutched in my hand
I could see nothing through the smoke
And I cried to God is this some sick joke
Cause I was a king upon the sea
But all you got was me
It was a ship that shared your name
And all of these things I have done
What is this madness that I have become
Hold on please be brave
It’s my soul I must save
And I know I will swim home starting tomorrow
I fought the tides and battled waves
The waters beat me down for days
I found the figurehead and knew
The gods were guiding me to you
I held the splinters of a ghost
And swam on for the coast
It was a ship that shared your name
And all of these things I have done
What is this madness that I have become
Hold on please be brave
It’s my soul I must save
And I know I will swim home starting tomorrow
I sent my love into the deep
With promises I couldn’t keep
But if my heart is true
I will find someway to you
To make my way back home…
And all of these things we have done
Has brought on this madness that we have become
Hold on please be brave
It’s the soul we must save
And now I will swim home starting tomorrow
