What if I was a rose?
what if you were a rose?
when we're withered and old
Where do we go?
mm
Everyday it's like a new sensation
everybody's tryina bring something back
I'm perpetually out of fashion
all these pretty girls dressed up in black
she grabs her purse fulla first world problems
baby's gotta get a pill to solve em
it's hard to eat this well and still stay hungry
yeh yeah, oh
Heard you flew straight at the sun
heard you got closer than anyone
but everyone knows what becomes
straight at the sun
(and you said)
Forget about what you heard
it's not about what you heard
all the noise, all them words
tell me where it hurts
Everyday it's like a new sensation
everybody tryna be a star
I'm perpetually out of fashion
all these pretty girls in pretty pretty cars
grab yer purse fulla first world
baby gotta get a pill to solve em
it's hard to eat this well and still stay hungry
yeh yeah, oh
It's just the same old news
Sit back and watch it roll
And what if I was a rose?
and what if you were a rose too?
when we're faded old and used up
then what do we do?
Everyday it's like a new sensation
don't get caught out in the clothes you used to wear
the party's movin to that place you heard about
the girls are walkin that new walk, and walkin out
to go out dancin to the new vibration
nobody ever seen a move quite like this
we're rollin easy with our pockets full o dough
yeah yeah oh
I'm addicted to my hesitations
I'm a phony be the first to admit
I'm offended that we are not naked
yet yet whoa
clouds burst fulla first world problems
baby go and get a pill to solve em
it's hard to eat this well and still stay hungry
Yeah yeah whoa
It's just the same old news
Sit back and watch it roll
Sit back

Tryna Catch Me
03:35

You can get it if you want it, you can, you don't have to feel uptight /
Nothing matters like the moment you're in motion and feelin allright /
It's got you tied up and twisted /
Tied up and twisted /
Get what you want, it's what you want, get what you /
Get what you want it's what you want wouldja come on /
CH: Didn't matter, all you had to do was ask, it's not right /
It's not like you got nothin better to do with your life than tryna catch me /
It's a shame to see a girl like you, wearin those cruel cruel shoes /
Strapless beggin for my scraps of attention, things I won't even mention /
You're definitely gifted /
But it's got you tied up and twisted /
Get what you want, it's what you want, get what you /
Get what you want it's what you ready or not come on /
CH
Tryna catch me (welcome back Kerouac tryinta catch me) /
Tryna catch me (open back Sazerac tryna catch me) /
Wouldja believe? Wouldja believe?
Get what you want, it's what you want, get what you /
Get what you want it's what you want wouldja come on /
Whatsa matter, all you had to do was ask, it's not right /
It's not like you got nothin better to do with your life than tryna catch me.

Baby Where?
04:30
|
|||
Everybody's looking at me
everybody's saying sorry
I'm just floating into space
How I can walk down the street?
When it falls away beneath my feet
how can I speak when I can't breathe?
Everybody wants to know
baby where you're gonna go
I can't tell em and neither can you
You say you love me but you ain't ready
You wanna leave me, but you ain't ready
Ah what am I supposed to do?
I got no other place to go
Lovin you's about the only thing I know
CH: Baby where you gonna go?
Without me now
Where you gonna go?
Without me now
And who'm I gonna hold?
Without you now, without you now
Now the days pass just a little faster
people ask I say it's no disaster
but I still dream of you at night
And if one day you came around
to build this back up from the ground
how could I ever forget?
How I was old and you were young
I was deaf and you were dumb
CH: Baby where you gonna go?
Without me now
Where you gonna go?
It's cold out
And who'm I gonna hold?
Without you now
Without you now

Ordinary Morning
02:48
|
|||
I'ma waking up early in the morning
Just me and the sun…rise
And a clear blue sky
The birds are singing sweet and easy
And if they have a song to sing
Well then so do i
I got this feeling and it's hard to explain it but I know that it's right (I know that it's right)
Like every little thing I ever wanted or dreamed of
Well it's already mine (weird chord)
already mine
So this is an ordinary morning
Half the people awake
Half the people are still asleep and dreaming away
The grocer organizes oranges
The ferry whistle blows
It just keeps going going going gone
I got this feeling and it's hard to explain it but I know that it's right
Like every little thing I ever wanted or dreamed of
Well it's already mine
Somewhere in time (2nd chorus)

Sweet Abandon
03:38
|
|||
like a record revolves beneath the weight of the needle
like the calm chords resolve with a strength all their own
there's a sound in the dark, there's a bird in the hollow
calling me round the bend, where there's no way to know
So I step out again, sweet abandon
I breathe in the air of the free and the damned
you can't put a price on the feeling of standing
at the edge of your little world, where your luck meets the land
ooooh
From the towering walls of sierra nevada
to the colors of fall in my Tennessee home
some are searching in vain at the back of a theater
in the front row of a church pew still there's no way to know
So I step out again, sweet abandon
I breathe in the air of the free and the damned
you can't put a price on the feeling of standing
at the edge of your little world, where your luck meets the land
Instrumental
Oh she waltzes again, sweet abandon
I breathe in the air of the free and the damned
from the peaks to the plains, echoing through the canyons
at the edge of your little world, where your luck meets the land
