Hi Girls,
I need your help.
After I’m gone, give your dad some time. And then please tell him to call Daisy Jones. Her number is in my date book in the second drawer of my nightstand.
Tell your father I said at the very least, the two of them owe me a song.
Love, Mom
Trouble starts when I come around Everything’s painted red when I’m in town Light me up and watch me burn it down
If you’re anointing a devil, I’ll take my crown
Foot on the gas, add fuel to the fire I’m already high and going higher Charging faster, ready to ignite Headed for disaster, chasing the night
You turn wrong when you turn right White light at first sight
Oh, you’re chasing the night
But it’s a nightmare chasing you
Life’s coming to me in flashes Wearing my bruises like badges
Don’t know when I learned to play with matches Must want it all to end in ashes
Foot on the gas, add fuel to the fire I’m already high and going higher Charging faster, ready to ignite Headed for disaster, chasing the night
You turn wrong when you turn right White light at first sight
Oh, you’re chasing the night
But it’s a nightmare chasing you
Foot on the gas, add fuel to the fire I’m already high and going higher Foot on the gas, add fuel to the fire
Look me in the eye and flick the lighter Oh, you’re chasing the night
But it’s a nightmare, honey, chasing you
THIS COULD GET UGLY
The ugly you got in you Well, I got it, too
You act like you ain’t got a clue But you do
Oh, we could be lovely If this could get ugly
Write a list of things you’ll regret I’d be on top smoking a cigarette Oh, we could be lovely
If this could get ugly
The things you run from, baby, I run to
And I know it scares you through and through No one knows you like I do
Try to tell me that ain’t true Oh, we could be lovely
If this could get ugly
C’mon now, honey
Let yourself think about it Can you really live without it?
Oh, we could be lovely If this could get ugly
IMPOSSIBLE WOMAN
Impossible woman Let her hold you
Let her ease your soul
Sand through fingers
Wild horse, but she’s just a colt
Dancing barefoot in the snow Cold can’t touch her, high or low
She’s blues dressed up like rock ’n’ roll Untouchable, she’ll never fold
She’ll have you running In the wrong direction Have you coming
For the wrong obsessions Oh, she’s gunning
For your redemption Have you headed Back to confession
Sand through fingers
Wild horse, but she’s just a colt
Dancing barefoot in the snow Cold can’t touch her, high or low
She’s blues dressed up like rock ’n’ roll Untouchable, she’ll never fold
Walk away from the impossible You’ll never touch her
Never ease your soul
You’re one more impossible man Running from her
Clutching what you stole
TURN IT OFF
Baby, I keep trying to turn away
I keep trying to see you a different way Baby, I keep trying
Oh, I keep trying
I gotta give up and turn this around
There’s no way up when you’re this far down And, baby, I keep trying
Oh, I keep trying
I keep trying to turn this off
But, baby, you keep turning me on
I keep trying to change how I feel
Keep trying to tell myself that this isn’t real Baby, I keep trying
Oh, I keep trying
Can’t take off when there’s no runway ahead And I can’t get caught up in this all over again Baby, I keep trying
Oh, I keep trying
I keep trying to turn it off
But, baby, you keep turning me on
I’m on my knees, my arms wide I’m finding ways to stay alive Lord knows I’m pleading, pleading
To keep this heart still beating, beating
I keep trying to turn it off
But, baby, you keep turning me on
Baby, I’m dying
But, baby, I’m trying I can’t keep selling
What you’re not buying
So I keep trying to turn it off
And, baby, you keep turning me on
I’m on my knees, my arms wide I’m finding ways to stay alive Lord knows I’m pleading, pleading
To keep this heart still beating, beating
I keep trying to turn it off
But, baby, you keep turning me on
PLEASE
Please me
Please release me Touch me and taste me Trust me and take me
Say the things left unsaid It’s not all in my head
Tell me the truth, tell me you think about me Or, baby, you can forget about me
Please me
Please release me
Relieve me and believe me Maybe you can redeem me
Say the things left unsaid It’s not all in my head
Tell me the truth, tell me you think about me Or, baby, you can forget about me
I know that you want me Know that you wanna hold me
Know that you wanna show me Know that you wanna know me
Well do something and do it quick Not much more I can stand of this
Say the things left unsaid
Don’t act like it’s all in my head
Tell me the truth, tell me if you think about me Or, baby, can you forget about me?
Please, please, don’t forget about me Please, please, don’t forget about me
YOUNG STARS
A curse, a cross Costing me all costs
Knotting me up in all of your knots
An ache, a prayer Worn from wear
Daring what you do not dare
I believe you can break me
But I’m saved for the one who saved me We only look like young stars
Because you can’t see old scars
Tender in the places you touch
I’d offer you everything but I don’t have much
Tell you the truth just to watch you blush You can’t handle the hit so I hold the punch
I believe you can break me
But I’m saved for the one who saved me We only look like young stars
Because you can’t see old scars
You won’t give me a reason to wait And I’m starting to feel a little proud I’m searching for somebody lost When you’ve already been found
You’re waiting for the right mistake But I’m not coming around
You’re waiting for a quiet day But the world is just too loud
I believe you can break me
But I’m saved for the one who saved me We only look like young stars
Because you can’t see old scars
REGRET ME
When you look in the mirror Take stock of your soul
And when you hear my voice, remember You ruined me whole
Don’t you dare sleep easy
And leave the sleepless nights to me Let the world weigh you down
And, baby, when you think of me I hope it ruins rock ’n’ roll Regret me
Regretfully
When you look at her
Take stock of what you took from me And when you see a ghost in the distance Know I’m hanging over everything
Don’t you dare sleep easy
And leave the sleepless nights to me Let the world weigh you down
And, baby, when you think of me I hope it ruins rock ’n’ roll Regret me
Regretfully Regret me Regretfully
Don’t you dare rest easy And leave the rest of it to me I want you to feel heavy
Regret me
Regret setting me free
Regret me
I won’t go easily Regret it
Regret saying no Regret it
Regret letting me go
One day, you’ll regret it
I’ll make sure of it before I go
MIDNIGHTS
Don’t remember many midnights Forgotten some of my best insights Can’t recall some of the highest heights But I’ve memorized you
Don’t remember many daybreaks
How many sunrises have come as I lay awake Don’t dwell on my worst mistakes
But I always think of you
You’re the thing that’s crystal clear The only thing that I hold dear
I live and die by if you’re near All other memories disappear Without you
Without you
Don’t remember how I was then Can’t keep straight where I was when
What is my name, where have I been Where did I start, where does it end
You’re the thing that’s crystal clear The only thing that I hold dear
I live and die by if you’re near All other memories disappear Without you
Without you
Don’t remember who I used to be Can’t recall who has hurt me Forget the pain so suddenly Once I’m with you
You’re the thing that’s crystal clear
The only thing that I hold dear I live and die by if you’re near All other memories disappear Without you
Without you
A HOPE LIKE YOU
I’m easy talk and cheap goodbyes Second-rate in a first-class disguise My heart sleeps soundly, don’t wake it A hope like you could break it
I’m lost deep in crimes and vice Can’t get to the table to grab the dice My heart is weak, I can’t take it
A hope like you could break it
It doesn’t matter how hard I try
Can’t earn some things no matter why My heart knows we’d never make it
A hope like you could break it
People say love changes you
As if change and love are easy to do My heart is calling and I can’t shake it But a hope like you could break it
Some things end before they start
The moment they form, they fall apart My heart wants so badly just to say it But a hope like you could break it
Told myself this story a thousand times
Can’t seem to break the wants free from my mind So much of my world goes unnamed
Some people can’t be tamed
But maybe I should stake my claim Maybe I should claim my stake
I’ve heard some hopes are worth the break
Yeah, maybe I should stake my claim Maybe I should claim my stake
On the chance the hope is worth the break
AURORA
When the seas are breaking And the sails are shaking When the captain’s praying Here comes Aurora
Aurora, Aurora
When the lightning is cracking And thunder is clapping
When the mothers are gasping Here comes Aurora
Aurora, Aurora
When the wind is racing And the storm is chasing
When even the preachers are pacing Here comes Aurora
Aurora, Aurora
When I was drowning Three sheets and counting The skies cleared
And you appeared
And I said, “Here is my Aurora” Aurora, Aurora
To Bernard and Sally Hanes, an honest love story if ever there was one
