Stay Together for The Kids

It's hard to wake up When the shades have been pulled shut This house is haunted It's so pathetic It makes no sense at all I'm ripe with things to say The words rot and fall away What stupid poem could fix this home I'd read it every day So here's your holiday Hope you enjoy it this time You gave it all away It was mine So when you're dead and gone Will you remember this night Twenty years now lost It's not right Their anger hurts my ears Been running strong for seven years Rather than fix the problems They never solve them It makes no sense at all I see them everyday We get along, so why can't they? If this is what he wants And this is what she wants Then why is there so much pain? So here's your holiday Hope you enjoy it this time You gave it all away It was mine So when you're dead and gone Will you remember this night Twenty years now lost It's not right So here's your holiday Hope you enjoy it this time You gave it all away It was mine So when you're dead and gone Will you remember this night Twenty years now lost It's not right It's not right It's not right It's not right

Boxing Day
Lets get started, the faint and broken-hearted, Hold it up, Ive got something I cannot hide. Worst painkiller, that all-in filler, The apart and departed look in my eyes. Sad, how far you ran, Ill search this land, Up through the clouds then back here. We could reignite like fireflies, like an atom bomb, At all hours. Im empty like the day after christmas, Swept beneath the wave of your goodbye. You left me on the day after christmas, Theres nothing left to say, and so goodnight. I will follow the trail to tomorrow, With my loneliness with sorrow all through the night. Sons and daughters, mothers and their fathers. Cross the bridges and the waters their clues left behind. Sad, how far you ran, Ill search this land, Up through the clouds then back here. We could reignite like fireflies, like an atom bomb, At all hours.

Im empty like the day after christmas, Swept beneath the wave of your goodbye. You left me on the day after christmas, Theres nothing left to say, and so goodnight. Im empty like the day after christmas, Swept beneath the wave of your goodbye. You left me on the day after christmas, Theres nothing left to say, and so goodnight. Goodnight.

Pretty Little Girl

Nineteen your eyes are glowing into my beating heart Oh it seems like it is fine as my hand is moving up your arm And you never really know where it goes up until it starts Ive got my eye on you, whatcha gonna do? Day dream near a stream with a winter bite Oh, I listen to the song on repeat from the other night And I cant picture you but I sure got the feelin' right What a crazy world, pretty little girl And we wake from the night in a bed with a bruise And were laughing out loud over the craziest news When you reach for my hand I was scared in your room We fell on the floor and we started to move And your hands were like birds as they flew from the coop Up my back they would climb just as I came unglued She said if you break my heart then Ill change your mind And Ill do it again If you play the part then I will play mine And Ill do it again If we miss the mark if we hold on tight Well be there to try it again Nineteen as we roll across the bedroom floor Your eyes they came alight as youre dreaming of our future home And the kids are growing up as you and I we are growing old What a crazy world, pretty little girl In the rain with a drink from the back of the bar Im raising my voice, you raise it up more We forget that our lives have been apart it is hard We thought we are close but it still feels far And we learn to get by if we learn to have scars We learn to forgive and accept who we are You said if you break my heart then Ill change your mind And Ill do it again If you play the part then I will play mine And Ill do it again If we miss the mark if we hold on tight Well be there to do it again Wait a minute hold up a second Dont leave me here with this feelin Like Im the one for regrettin Like I never did coke for a spoke Like I never did pulled out that weapon

And stick that knife through my back Was I supposed to accept it when your words are like More than just sticks and stones kinda like a bullet I dont tip that lies in my bones and I cant just swallow it My pride is more than all that I own so I gotta give it away Some of the times Im all the way wrong but cant you see past Me and see my fucked up home that made me the meanest The devil is just singin along to the song I write to alone at night And I hang up the phone and bite my tongue Cause I know that me and you is just only right, but one Its a cry from the past we have been through a lot Every year has been great and a few have been tough And the kids they will reach for the stars up above I said relax we cheer in the morrow All the ropes to the life from the crypt to the grave We started alone in the end were okay You said if you break my heart then Ill change your mind And Ill do it again If you play the part then I will play mine And Ill do it again If we miss the mark if we hold on tight Well be there to try it again
