Same Sun Shines

There will always be the same sun over everyone We inhale the same air We're pulled down by the same gravity And while you know it well As far as your heart can tell It won't ever look or feel the same Pull the trigger Today's the day We know it's never gonna' last There will always be a way out We heard a shot ring out How unfortunate, we're brought together by tragedy You never knew it well But as far as we can tell We won't ever be the same Turn in your number Forfeit the game We know it's never gonna' last

Who made you king of truths, little one, little one? What is it you feel you have to live up to, little one? Everyone is watching, waiting While you sit hooking and baiting Come at me with another one What made you think your shit don't stink, little one, little one? What made you think words make me sink? Well they don't, little one How I find you so disdaining How'd they find you entertaining? Come at me with another one How did it get to this point? It baffles me, little one What if they clue into your ruse? Then you're done, little one Oh, you better be able to back it up If they ask for proof Come at me with another one

The Pins 04:28
These walls seem so strange They've been rearranged Someone pulled the carpet out from under me And you never understood what it's all about So I went and bought my ticket out This is my exit scene And you're watching You're watching me set up the pins Plotting to knock them down as you lick your lips You love to make a mess And leave for me to fix Now I'll do this without you I'll do this without you Needed just a bit of space And now I'm a stranger in this place Never saw this coming quite so soon You speak of me in shades of blue You see only what you want to This is my exit cue And you're watching You're watching me set up the pins Plotting to knock them down as you lick your lips You love to make a mess And leave for me to fix Now I'll do this without you I'll do this without you

I can't go on You see, you're just no good for me I've got a bone to pick with you I can't go on You see, you cause me such pain and misery You've got me down You've got me blue I can do this no more I give it all, and don't know what for There's only so much I can do Can't do this, it's a fact You took my heart, now I want it back My greatest fear has now come true

Don't shed a tear for me I'm still right here I know you've felt me walking these halls I'm still right here I know you hear me in the rain I'm still right here So you remind yourself I'm no longer in pain I'm still right here I made sure my father would take care of my cat I made sure my sister had the info for my accounts I made sure my husband would find me first If he'd ever get home from work All I ask that you take from this Is this small demand Who knows how long anything will last? Love it while you can I made sure my father would take care of my cat I made sure my sister had the passwords for my accounts I made sure that bastard would find me first And that's how I got the last word Don't shed a tear for me I'm still right here Don't shed a tear for me Don't shed a tear

Cowboys ain't easy to love, and they're harder to hold They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levi's And each night begins a new day If you don't understand him and he don't die young He'll probably just ride away Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Let them be doctors and lawyers and such Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 'Cause they're never at home and they're always alone Even with someone they love Cowboys like smoky poolrooms and clear mountain mornings Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night Them that don't know him won't like him And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him He ain't wrong, he's just different But his mind won't let him do things to make you think he's right Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Let them be doctors and lawyers and such Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 'Cause they're never at home and they're always alone Even with someone they love

I sit at home spinning my wheels Trying to decipher how he feels By his voice coming across long distance line I love hearing his voice come across that line I never ever understood why people don't talk enough first I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel his touch I try not to think about that too much My friends say I should go out with other guys I don't want to go out with other guys I never ever understood why people spread themselves thin The last time he and his band came through Tried desperately to search him for clues Am I a lover or just a friend? Do I mean anything to him? I never ever understood when two people should make that call At times, every day I get a text or call Still, other times I get nothing at all My friends say I should go out with other guys Maybe I should go out with other guys I never ever understood why people play games Tell me that you want me Or tell me that it's over Tell me something completely Please don't leave me in the middle any longer Tell me that you need me Or tell me you've found another Tell me something completely Please don't leave me in the middle any longer

The candlelight whispers to Dancing shadows that all seem to Be calling of visions of a future with you Brighter, dimmer, flicker, shimmer Softly hearts align Softly hands entwine Come to me, my beloved Never to unravel Come to me, my beloved It's you that I choose Immortally, immortally The evening wind beckons to The tree that it's blowing through To rock and sway in rhythm to a lullaby song Sing a chorus, seems it's for us Bright night stars align Softly hands entwine Come to me, my beloved Never to unravel Come to me, my beloved It's you that I choose Immortally, immortally

There's a change in the air In this wide open air And you're standing up, you're standing tall Just when they thought that you would take a fall You started singing, "Ba ba ba-da da, ba ba-da da, oh woah Ba ba ba-da da, ba ba-da da" There's a change from within You're settling into your own skin And you understand what you need to do To put all those lonely days behind you Start singing, "Ba ba ba-da da, ba ba-da da, oh woah Ba ba ba-da da, ba ba-da da" You don't need anyone to make you happy No you don't need anybody but yourself So start singing, "Ba ba ba-da da, ba ba-da da, oh woah Ba ba ba-da da, ba ba-da da"

I'll be waiting in the sunshine I'll be waiting in the grass I'll be ready for you to get me You won't even have to ask And we'll cross that bridge when we come to it But for now I have to go Do what you need to do as I head down the road Oh me dear, it's been such a long time And I love you just the same As the day you rescued me And you gave my soul a name All of those nights laying side by side Now have come to a close Do what you need to do as I head down the road Oh you know the greatest thing about our old weary bodies? They're not what defines us It's just a technicality Soon I will be a memory But I know the day will come When I'll see you again When you'll be coming home I'll see you soon (I'll be seeing you again) But it's bye for now
