Sing Me Home

I beelined for glamour and fame, leaving Caroline in my dust
These desert trails to stardom show sunken eyes
Everyone here is in it, gotta make it or bust
Make it for my homeland where I come from, where I trace my ties
Love come sing me home
Love come sing me home
Sing me soft or sing me loud and I'll aim to make you proud so
Love come sing me home
Every town looks quite the same when the stagelights are in your face
Strumming through the motions just like any other job
Mainstream lights burn through hopes and dreams, stealing your sight and your soul
So crawl back to the homeland where you came from, where you trace your ties
Love come sing me home
Love come sing me home
Three thousand miles my pretty are three thousand too many
Love come sing me home
Love come sing me home
I'm on my way, sing on my way, please sing on my way
please sing on my way...
Love come sing me home
Love come sing me home
Three thousand miles my pretty are three thousand too many
Love come sing me home
Love come sing me home
Love come sing me home
Sing me soft or sing me loud and I'll aim to make you proud so
Love come sing me home
Love come sing me home
Love come sing me home

C'mon and shake, shake, quake my bones. Crumble me
Hold hold, I'm holding on for dear life, girl please
Don't, don't, let me go. Keep rumbling on cause I
dig you keeping me on my toes.
City-wide siren sounds, heads up fast
Grab your valuables, baby move your ass
Through the hall, spiral down, shove out the door
Through the crowd, through the rich and the poor
Shake, shake, quake my bones. Crumble me
Hold hold, I'm holding on for dear life, girl please
Don't, don't, let me go. Keep rumbling on cause I
dig you keeping me on my toes.
Shake, shake...
California quakes knock me on my knees
I pray that love spares me, begging lord please
Ruptured ground and I can't escape
How many here have you left in your wake?
Shake, shake, quake my bones. Crumble me
Hold hold, I'm holding on for dear life, girl please
Don't, don't, let me go. Keep rumbling on cause I
dig you keeping me on my toes.
Shake, Shake

Let Love In

Will you look at me with jaded eyes?
Will you look at me and not know why?
Will you look for ways to be at ease?
Will you look for signs to set you free?
Will you tell me you are all mapped out?
Will you tell me, “plan another route.”?
Will you tell me you once loved before?
Will you tell me you can love no more?
Oh my shaken one, come with me.
I have heard your weary cry.
I know you've no faith, ah, but please.
Let Love in just one more time.
Will you give to me a grain of sand?
Will you give to me your quivering hand?
Will you give to me your soul, your limbs?
Will you give me what you gave to him?
Oh my shaken one, come with me.
I have heard your weary cry.
I know you've no faith, ah, but please.
Let Love in just one more time.
Love is universal, you know deep inside your soul.
Love is universal, just look deep inside your soul.
Oh my shaken one, come with me.
I have heard your weary cry.
I know you've no faith, ah, but please.
Let Love in just one more time.

Well I know you think I only call your name as town's closing down
And you may have a case against me. I guess take, take me to trial
Cause you're just a flask I keep hidden in my pocket
You comfort me when no one's around
My biggest crutch distills through your heart
So purify me til our soul's touch the ground
You're the one they'll never know, my sweet Armenian secret
Just like my deep dark thoughts and my addiction,
I'll keep you all to myself.
Cause you're just a flask I keep hidden in my pocket
You comfort me when no one's around
My biggest crutch distills through your heart
So purify me til our soul's touch the ground
Taken for granted you may feel, but that was never, never my intention
And if I never told you so, you make LA much more incredible
Yeah you make LA much more incredible.
Cause you're just a flask I keep hidden in my pocket
You comfort me when no one's around
My biggest crutch distills through your heart
So purify me til our soul's touch the ground

Me and Only Me

It's that stance you take when looking down the
line em up with cue in hand
It breaks me up just watching guys look you're way too pretty for me
You show me I'm all yours and I pray tell that this will last awhile
But I don't notice how you're catching every other guy tonight
Take me home you'd say. Let's just drive, you'd say.
Cause I'm just one of a hundred guys and you cherry pick as you please
I just thought it was only me, how could I not plainly see
that I'm not one in a million, a thousand, or even ten
I'll never be enough for you.
Me and only me won't do.
It's been a week, you're MIA, not worried, oh please, course I am
I'm paranoid so insecure, don't be just like all other girls
Innocently take a drive, your place just might be on the way
What I'm doing, I don't know, ah hell, those are his wheels I see
Let's just drive, he'd say. Take me home, you'd say.
Cause I'm just one of a hundred guys and you cherry pick as you please
I just thought it was only me, how could I not plainly see
that I'm not one in a million, a thousand, or even ten
I'll never be enough for you.
Me and only me won't do.
I should have known I'd be on my own
No, I should have known I'd be on my own
Let's just drive you'd say. Take me home you'd say.
Let's just drive you'd say. Take me home you'd say.
Cause I'm just one of a hundred guys and you cherry pick as you please
I just thought it was only me, how could I not plainly see
that I'm not one in a million, a thousand, or even ten

By now you have no clue, let them take what they do
You say it ain't that bad, not the worse that you've had
You're the rags, of the rich. Love or hate them, but you won't choose which.
Won't you stand, stand your ground? Keep safe, safe and sound cause
You are worthy of love
You're so, so much more; more than you take you for
If I had a say, your pains I'd take away
Won't you stand, stand your ground? Keep safe, safe and sound cause
You are worthy of Love
You don't have to earn it
It can't be held over your head
Please know that true love glows down
because it can't be contained
You are worthy of Love

Be my mary for I'm your lamb see my fleece white as snow
Anywhere you would have me you know I would surely go
Could this be real? Can't see the way you feel. You have got me blind.
See yes, I'm crazy, out of my head, maybe, but please don't push rewind
Ya fight and ya fight it, but will not win, know I'm in your head
Smile with all your control, but now who's in my bed?
Yes I know my sins, so won't you speak the word?
I know seven minutes in heaven are seven more than I deserve
Yes I know my sins, so won't you speak the word?
I know seven minutes in heaven are seven more than I deserve
is seven more than I deserve
Mama told me, “Sweet, sweet boy, it's 'yes sir' and 'mam.'”
Ya see I have manners, but with you, I sure can't help but wanna be bad
Ya tell me not to look but I don't care, stitch your little dress in your underwear
I dig it babe.
Yes I know my sins, so won't you speak the word?
I know seven minutes in heaven are seven more than I deserve
Yes I know my sins, so won't you speak the word?
I know seven minutes in heaven are seven more than I deserve
is seven more than I deserve
Could this be real? Can't see the way you feel. You have got me blind.
See yes, I'm crazy, out of my head, maybe, but please don't push rewind
Ya fight and ya fight it, but will not win, know I'm in your head
Smile with all your control, but now who's in my bed?
Yes I know my sins, so won't you speak the word?
I know seven minutes in heaven are seven more than I deserve
Yes I know my sins, so won't you speak the word?
I know seven minutes in heaven are seven more than I deserve
are seven more than I deserve

You seem to have no time for what's going cross your own mind
What the hell makes you think you know me, my mind, and I?
Mama said “learn from your mistakes”
Papa said “choose your own fate”
I guess wrongs must be my rights
Papa said “a wish ain't enough”
Mama said “you'll never learn love from singing those sad, sad songs”
I work best on my own, my dreams alone I follow
but if we tried good and strong my dreams too could tag along
No, please don't place any bets on me yet, and forgive my debts
Don't you know it takes two points of view? So what will you choose?
Mama said “learn from your mistakes”
Papa said “choose your own fate”
I guess wrongs must be my rights
Papa said “a wish ain't enough”
Mama said “you'll never learn love from singing those sad, sad songs”
I can feel you longing for something more
I'm right here just holding open my door
I can't let myself walk Love inside
I can't let myself let us even try
Mama said “learn from your mistakes”
Papa said “choose your own fate”
I guess wrongs must be my rights
Papa said “a wish ain't enough”
Mama said “you'll never learn love from singing those sad, sad songs”

We always said this was temporary
At my idea, you of course agreed
Just spend the time we have no regretting
Who knows what's ahead and where it will lead
So when you're old and gray I will be here
Though my soul won't resemble old times
But just know that I'll always think of your face
When you're done running your race, be mine.
You're soft red smile when you said, “I love you”
Turned ice blue when you said you had to leave
Now i'm stuck holding your plain white apathy
All alone, like you said I'd be
So when you're old and gray I will be here
Though my soul won't resemble old times
But just know that I'll always think of your face
When you're done running your race, be mine.
I've gone without in my crosshairs
Knowing you've led an aimful life
But if you find solace wandering back here
I'd hope for you, this time love could be right.
So when you're old and gray I will be here
Though my soul won't resemble old times
But just know that I'll always think of your face
When you're done running your race, be mine.
