V. 1
Bullets on the boulevard. Blood on the hard concrete.
Somebody's baby boy ain't waking up from their last sleep.
Cuz you we don't love our neighbors as ourselves.
These bullets on the boulevard, blood on the hard concrete.
Well Hey hey.
CHORUS
Let me walk with you
I'll carry your burdens
Let me walk with you
I'll carry your shame.
Let me walk with you
I'll carry your struggles
I'll carry your pain.
V. 2
These cold black windows shut out the light from the day
And my heart knows it can't speak what it wants to say
We don't love our neighbors as ourselves
These cold black windows shut out the light from the day.
CHORUS
V.3
What if I shoot where they come from.
What if I do what they want done.
What if I went back in time never cleaned up my act
Just to prove that I am on some.
Stupid like you
Do not want none
Maybe they boo when I come home.
Maybe they care for me
Maybe they cheer for me
Maybe I win in the long run.
Maybe I'm losing my cool
I'm just gonna do what I do.
I'm doing cool without you
I ain't got nothing to lose
Aint got me nothing to prove
Ain't got me nothing to do.
They told me I wouldn't improve
They told me I'm not gonna move.
That is not hurting me
That don't occur to me
That do not worry me. (no)
What does not murder me
Ain't no concern to me
Don't say a word to me (no)
Neighbors been curving me
Haters be lurking me
That made me nervous you (know)
Death is a certainty
Living my purpose but they thrown dirt on me. (yeah yeah yeah..no)
Let me talk with you talk with you
So let me take a walk with you walk with you
Through this rain share this pain in my heart with you
Wish I knew where to start with you.

Bridges
03:19
|

Verse 1
I watched the bridge go down.
It fell around my heart
Now your so far away
I've fallen all apart.
You standing on the ledge
A thousand lonely feet
And I can't find the path
To bring you back to me.
Who threw the first punch
Who dropped the first bomb
It doesn't matter now?
The bridge we had is gone.
You standing on a ledge
Tears stream down your face
You hold the pins to the grenades.
Chorus
I feel you in my heart
You never went away
I'm reaching for you now
Just say the word I'll stay
I feel you in my heart
You never went away
I'm reaching out for you now
Just say the word I'll stay
(stay, stay, stay)
V2.
I watched the bridge fall down
The dust it covered up my heart.
My eyes can barely see you now
I've fallen all apart
The life we shared
The love we made
The kisses gone
The distance stays
You standing on a ledge
Your face is so confused
I held the match that lit the fuse.
Chorus
V. 3
I admit it
I got lost in my emotions
Pushing out words I couldn't really take back
And now you flat on your back
Trying to figure out how it was that
love could clap back
So hard
And what we built in years and days
Is wrecked
In seconds
Of rage.

Was it my fault?
Was it yours?
I don’t know
I don’t even know how to take this pain
I don’t
Pre Chorus:
And if I just call out your name.
I’d cross the world to find you
I know we’d finally find a way
Chorus: this used to be our garden
this used to be our Eden
somewhere to call home
something to believe in x2
Couplet 2
and I am all alone let me in I want to go home
when the gates closed and the darkness rolled
like a cloud against the sun
i roamed the streets around our home with my finger on the trigger of gun
And an angel stood with a flaming blade and he blocked the only path
i heard a sound in the distance
i swear it was the devils laugh
when the gates close
i’m on the outside let me in
screaming for you now
just let me in
when the gates close
will you be there to find me?
refrain 2
this used to be our garden
this used to be our Eden
somewhere to call home
something to believe in ( x2)

Heaven

Chorus:
When's Heaven gonna touch the ground?
When's heaven gonna come around?
Oh Lord, when you coming round?
When you gonna touch this ground now?
I see people living on the streets
I just walk on by.
I turn my head and then I don't help
Cuz I'm busy and I'm tired of all the "whys"
But I know I'm supposed to love my brother as myself.
Cuz Love is in this body it's more than felt.
I know I'm supposed to love them now.
Oh oh oh.
Chorus
When's Heaven gonna touch the ground?
When's heaven gonna come around?
Oh Lord, when you coming round?
When you gonna touch this ground now?
I saw you were hungry. But I swore the store was closed.
You were a prisoner and I ignored your calls home.
You were a refugee and I closed the borders.
But I know I'm supposed to love my brother as myself.
Cuz Love is in this body, it's more than just felt.
Chorus
So When's Heaven gonna touch the ground?
When's heaven, when you comin down?
Oh Lord, when you coming?
When you gonna touch this ground now?
When you comin?
When you comin down?
When's heaven gonna touch this ground?
When's heaven gonna come around?
Oh Lord we need you now.
Have you seen it? Have you seen it all around?
Oh Lord when you coming down? When you coming round?
When's heaven??

Somewhere
03:26
|

We used to drive out to the airport and watch the planes come in
and fly out to all the places that we had never been.
And we talked about the trips we’d take, to Paris and to Rome
but I never thought I’d sit here watching planes land, all alone.
So it comes and so it goes
heartbreak is easy
Why does love come so slow?
Chorus
It’s better to to be somewhere with someone
than nowhere with no one
won’t you ease my broken mind
Why is love so hard to find? (X2)
Oh way oh
Oh way oh
Oooh ooh ooh
Pillow covered in lace, lays next to mine
my car is empty and it’s cold outside.
me alone I’m driving. Driving in the night
I find myself rolling down the I 105.
The Ocean stretches out and these planes are coming in.
I wish you were out there, maybe we could start again
So it comes and so it goes
heartbreak is easy
Why does love come so slow?
Chorus
It’s better to to be somewhere with someone
than nowhere with no one
won’t you ease my broken mind
Why is love so hard to find? (X2)
We just want to be held.
We just want to be touched.
We just want to be loved,
By someone up above. (x2)
Chorus
It’s better to to be somewhere with someone
than nowhere with no one
won’t you ease my broken mind
Why is love so hard to find? (X2)
Oh way oh
Oh way oh
Oooh oooh ooh (x2)

Looking For You
03:53
|

I drove all night, lost in the clouds.
Trying to find my way back down.
Trying to find my way back home to you
So I know and you know and we know.
I've loved you ever since you were
a young girl and I saw the beautifulest things
In your eyes and my eyes
Out up on the road
I'm looking for you
When I'm back home,
I'm looking for you
When I'm all alone,
I'm looking for you.
Looking for you.
Chorus:
I've been chasing you since
Before
We could ever think of the wars
That we'd ever fight in our minds
And our hearts
And our words
Are the darts that are making us blind.
Ooh oooh
Hey ya hey ya hey ya (X4)
I drove all night after the show.
Trying to find my way back home.
Chasin after love before it's gone
Cuz I know and you know and we know.
I've loved you ever since you were a young girl
And I saw the magic in your eyes
But now we are out of charms
Out up on the road
I'm looking for you
When I'm back home,
I'm looking for you
When I'm all alone,
I'm looking for you.
Looking for you.
Chorus:
I've been chasing you since
Before
We could ever think of the wars
That we'd ever fight in our minds
And our hearts
And our words
Are the darts that are making us blind.
Ooh oooh
Hey ya hey ya hey ya (X4)

If I Could Love You
03:49

V1
I didn't mean to lead you on
It's my mistake
I didn't mean to break those things
That I had made.
It's so much easier to chase the things that please
And I get lost sometimes, I hope you are lost with me.
CHORUS
If I could love you
It would tear me apart
If I could love you
It would break her heart. (x2)
V2.
I built a life and filled it up with love and joy
How could the builder be the one that then destroys?
I always reach for all the things I can not hold.
And like a bomb thrown in the dark,
The night explodes.
Chorus
Bridge
Every fire we build will soon grow cold
And things will fall apart,
The center will not hold
This thirst I'll never quench within my soul
I just want the parts that will make me whole.
Chorus

Sun Up
02:52

Oh I go to stay and fade away.
Oh I go to pray and slide away
Oh my soul it longs to be with you, every single day.
Oh, it doesn't matter what you do, or what you try to say.
Toca mi boca
Toca mi corazón
Toca mi alma
Take me away.
Taking my old thoughts
Taking my old wrongs
Taking me over
Take me away.
CHORUS
You got me waiting for the sunup!
To open up my eyes
Waiting for the sunup!
To chase away these lies.
Waiting for the sunup
To wash away my sins
Waiting for the sunup
So we can start again.
Verse 2
Oh my home, our world, this veil of pain.
Tears us down and it won't even know our names.
Oh my soul will never be at rest
Until it rests in you
And it doesn't matter what I say, or what I try to do.
Chorus
Oh...oh oh.
Oh oh oh. X3
Waiting for the sunup
Waiting for the sunup
Waiting for the sunup.
Waiting for the sunup.

Verse 1)
Your laugh on a Saturday, when we don’t have a care/
The way your smile draws me, from damn...anywhere./
We’ve got no riches or fast cars
No castles or rings/
But these are the moments,
The simplest things.
(Chorus)
Coffee and Cigarettes
Morning sun on your hair
No clouds in the sky
Your silk underwear.
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes
And as the years pass, we watch the kids grow/
And the kids that we were, slowly grow old/
Still no riches or fast cars
No castles or rings, but these are the moments
The simplest things.
(Bridge)
And I’ll give it all
Laid it down for you.
I’ll give it all
Lay it down for you.
(Chorus)
Coffee and Cigarettes
Morning sun on your hair
No clouds in the sky
Your silk underwear.
Coffee and Cigarettes
Morning sun on your hair
No clouds in the sky
Your silk underwear.
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes
Coffee and Cigarettes

Push Me Down

Push me down below the warm green water
Let me float to the deep blue sea
Push me down below the warm green water
Let me float to the deep blue sea.
I'm tired of this world, I can't take this no more.
Push me down below the roots of the trees.
Chorus:
Going home. Far away from here
I'll be free. I'll be safe. No more pain
Going home
Going home
No more pain. (x2)
Life, it will no longer hurt me.
Cuz life I will no longer see.
Life, it will no longer hurt me.
Cuz life I will no longer see.
Though you protest and cry
Wasn't me, wasn't I.
Push me down below the roots of the trees.
Oh the sins of your father will haunt you.
Oh the wounds he inflicted won't heal.
Oh the sins of your father will haunt you.
Oh the wounds he inflicted won't heal.
If God is above, he has mercy and love.
Push me down below the roots of the trees.
Chorus:
Going home. Far away from here
I'll be free. I'll be safe. No more pain
Going home
Going home
No more pain. (x2)
You'll be home.
No more pain.
You'll be free
No more pain.
And all this pain you're going through right now
Lord I know, I know He's gonna wash those tears away
I know! I know it doesn't seem like it will get better but Lord
I know, He's gonna wipe those tears away.
What you walking through right now is gonna make you stronger
Than you ever knew, and you'll be free.
You'll be free
No more pain.
