She Swears She Will

(verse 1)
Well daybreaks in the early morning
And she just finished up her song
This song she writes tonight is just for you

(verse 2)
Well she’ll write and sing and play her songs
And she swears to God it won’t be long
Before she gets this right and makes you proud

(chorus)
And she’ll break her strings
And from her soul she sings
All for you

And tomorrow tells
It’s her soul that she sells
All for you now

(verse 3)
Well the people say she can’t do this
And these people’s words she won’t dismiss
Gonna stare em’ in the eye and prove them wrong

(verse 4)
And she swears to God her voice
And her songs are gonna follow you
And put you all to sleep when she is gone

(chorus)

(bridge)
And she sings alone tonight
And it makes her want to cry
She falls apart
Insane today

(1/2 chorus)

(verse 3)

(verse 4)

(1/2 chorus)

See my fingers move
See my body move here
And I hope I play something that makes your body move
But if not than that’s alright

(Chorus 1)
But if not then that’s alright (x2)

(Verse 2)
And I used to think
That I would have to drink
Just to play for you live
But now I don’t care
Even with the blank stares
I receive from your eyes
Every night

That I play for me
And all of my fish you can’t see
And I hope I play something that makes your body move
But if not then that’s alright

(Chorus 2)
But if not then that’s alright (x2)
Because I don’t know how
To play this thing right
And I hope that I play something that makes your body move
But if not then that’s alright

(Verse 2)

(Chorus 2)

(Chorus 3)
And I hope that you dance
Right in front of me here
Because I don’t know how
To play this thing right
And I hope that I play something that makes your body move
But if not then that’s alright

(Verse 2)
Here she comes now
Deep inside me hide me
From this stupid fear
Of things that I don’t know how to do

(Chorus)
And I say hey
Who are you?
And who am I?
And where are we?
Then I ask you for an answer
‘Cause I can not let you know
That I want you right here with me
Be things we can not be
Let you push yourself in me

And I know
I can’t change now

(Verse 3)
Here she comes now
She’s so near me hear me
Sing these words to her
Just know that
I’m really not all that good now

(Verse 4)
And everytime
It’s just so frightening lightning
Strike me down if I
Hold something close
And it doesn’t break

(Chorus x1)

And I know
I can’t change now
But this time it feels so good
And I sing in the rain
In the day
And I don’t know how
They stay the same

And I say to myself I know
But I can’t tell
How I’ll feel tomorrow
And the fever it breaks at dawn
And she says shes gone
She says she’s long, long, long, long gone
Well this time I’m left alone

(Chorus)

And I know
I can’t change now

(Verse 1)

(Verse 4)

Well, I’ve been
Pushed down, picked up then pushed out
To a place that I really don’t care about
Like New Jersey in the winter

Well I hold my head down now
And I’ll pick it up in shame
For it’s not the fact of what I have done
It’s whether or not
That you feel the same

And it hurts so bad
And I feel it in the morning
When I wake

So I hope I get to Heaven
Before the Devil he knows that I’m dead
And I hope that God can’t read me
And hear what’s in my head

So I’ll try not to listen
No I’ll try not to think at all
But these feelings they fall before me
And I feel like something
Isn’t good here

Break free
Of there chains that are tying me
Up to heaven
Well I gotta go low and buy back my soul
And get back right before He knows
And get to church by eleven

Well I hold my head down now
And I’ll pick it up in shame
For it’s not the fact of what I have done
It’s whether or not
That you feel the same

And it hurts so bad
And I feel it in the morning
When I wake

So I hope I get to heaven
Before the Devil he knows that I’m dead
And I hope that God can’t read me
And hear what’s in my head

So I’ll try not to listen
No I’ll try not to think at all
But these feelings they fall before me
And I feel like something
Isn’t good here

And I say I think about it tonight
I think about you
Well this time I gotta take it slow

Hear what I say

One touch
And to you it didn’t seem to mean all that much
But to me it meant everything in the whole world
Then you smiled and sighed just like a little girl
You’re just so beautiful

(chorus)
And I know
That you know how I feel
And it kills me how
You give it back to me…sometimes
I feel like
You and I might
Be real but I
Am looking for better things

I don’t know why
A two foot fall never felt so far before

(verse 3)
One time
You told me I was yours and you were mine
And it felt so good deep down inside
But sometimes it’s just so hard to see
Makes me feel like
I have to run

(verse 4)
One word
Is all you’d have to say to keep me there
And we’d hold each other tight
We were both just scared
Scared of how things move by so fast
Or whether or not they’re real at all

(chorus into “la da da “ part into last 2 lines of chorus (x2))

(outro)
And this is the part where I have to tell you
I’m lying here on the floor
You don’t need to be frightened
I’ll catch you
If you fall
