Ryan Adams Album

For everything that's wrong
There is a worried man
There is a reason why
We just don't understand but will
You got to keep the faith

Be patient, oh the past
Is just a memory and heal
Heal your vines
You'll heal inside eventually

We were born into a light
We were born on light
We were born into a light

For everyone alone
I wish you faith and hope
And all the strength to cope
To be your own best friend
Have confidence and keep the faith

Be patient, oh the past
Is just a memory and heal
Heal your vines
You'll heal inside eventually

We were born into a light
We were born into a light
We were born on light
We were born into a light

The lights, the lights
The lights, yonder lights

I watch the evening roll
And I watch the sun grow tired; collapsing into the meadowlands
Funny how I still hear my voice
Sometimes it's like it's so loud I only hear a ringing sound

If only to say this to you now
I love you still, and I always will
If only to say this to myself
I will always love you, I will always love you
So go easy on yourself
Go easy
Go easy

You were like those flowers on the hills
In the sunlight, in the fall, even the coyotes call
Funny how my mind counts each day
By the times I've thought of you, funny how the numbers sway

If only to say this to you now
I love you still, and I always will
If only to say this to myself
I will always love you, I will always love you
So go easy on yourself
Go easy
Go easy
Go easy
Go easy

You gotta go, you gotta go now
You gotta go, you gotta go now
Gotta go, you gotta go now
Gotta go, you gotta go now
Gotta go, you gotta go now
Gotta go, you gotta go now
Gotta go, you gotta go now

What makes them walk away, after all these years?
These years are burning in the hard way by the lessons from the tears
I know it’s not a game
But it feels like losing when someone you love throws you away
I’d fix it
I’d fix it
I’d fix it
I’d fix it if I could
And I’d always win
I’d always win
So you can always win the in end

How easy was it for you making those plans you made?
Before I became someone for you you know to try to dislocate
But, I know it’s not a game
But if feels like losing when someone you love gets up and walks away
I’d fix it
I’d fix it
I’d fix it
I’d fix it if I could
And I’d always win
I’d always win
And you’d always lose

Look what I did to you
Look what you did to me
Fixed it
I’d fix it, id fix it if I could
And I’d always win
I’d always win
I’d always win in the end

You're like a rain cloud
If it rained mushroom clouds
Everybody hits the ground
Arms folded, head down

You're like a missile strike
Government goes underground
Warhead on legs

What goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
Goes around comes around

Goes around comes around
Goes around comes around
What goes around comes around

So turn the radio on
So turn the radio up
So turn the radio up
Loud and get down

Let your body move
Let your body sway
Listen to the music play
It's magick, it's magick

You're like a storm tower
If it had fire power
Everything you touch burns
Scorched earth
Water tower burned
Up to the ground

Zombies running all around
Eventually we hit the mall
Knock it down at nightfall

So turn the radio on
So turn the radio up
So turn the radio up
Loud and get down

Let your body move
Let your body sway
Listen the music play
It's magick

I wish I had secret powers
I'd burn all of the power hungry clowns
And I'll shut 'em down
Give them radios and yos
And wake them up with jams on

Right after I disappear
Then disarm, disarm, disarm
Don't watch the record go round

Listen to the magick
Magick, magick
Listen to the magick
And watch the record go round

Listen to the magick
Magick, magick
Listen to the magick
And watch the record go round

What goes around comes around
Because what comes around goes around

Somewhere impossible light still shines
And every smile is if as new
Sometimes I feel like the static in the attic
Is making me just confused

If I fall will you catch me?
If I'm sorry, sorry enough?
If I fall will you pity me?
Will you confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse for the cobwebs?

I always pause if I can on 5th avenue
Look uptown with my head in the stars
Somewhere the buildings give way to sunlight
Give way to east and west Central Park

f I fall will you catch me?
If I'm sorry, sorry enough?
If I fall will you pity me?
Will you confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Will you confuse my love for the cobwebs?
For the cobwebs?

Will you confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
For the cobwebs?
For the cobwebs?
For the cobwebs?
For the cobwebs?

In all my life mercy
Hasn't known my name this well
Like how every sea filters out
And leads us gently to a creek
We sit around

Some of us are strong
But the rest of us are weak

So let us down if you must
But let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy, Lord
Ooh, let us down

In patches of pink clouds, thick smoke
It comes rising off the hillside slopes
Down here in this neighborhood
It's just the dumps with cars iced up
Perfect for writing on if you're wearing gloves

Every season I spend alone
Feels like a thousand
To my heart and in my soul

So let me down if you must
But let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy, Lord
Ooh, let us down

Let us down, let us down, let us down
Let us down, let us down, let us down

Instead of praying I tell God these jokes
He must be tired of himself so much
He must be more than disappointed
Christmas comes as we eat alone
And pretty girl around sound pretty bore

Who takes your order, she yells it
And she cries alone in the back room
Once it stops then she smiles

So let her down if you must
But let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy, Lord

Ooh, let us down
(Let us down, let us down, let us down)
Let us down easy, Lord
(Let us down, let us down, let us down)

Let us down
(Let us down, let us down, let us down)
Let us down easy, Lord
(Let us down, let us down, let us down)

Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy

Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy

Orange sky don't go
Man, heaven looks like someplace else
Cloudy with a low fog shelf

Into the crowded streets I go
Eventually they lead me back home
Where we used to live, I live along and into bed I go

I wish I could tell you just how I felt
I don't pray I smile and say goodnight to myself
And when I close my eyes
I feel like a page
With a crossed out name
With a crossed out name

I kiss her mouth and I know
For everything there is a word
For everything but this

I like the dresses, the shoes, and the clothes
And everything you know that goes
With loving a girl I supposed

I Wish I could tell you just how I'm hurt
Then point the location and turn the universe
And when I close my eyes
I see a fire so blank
And my crossed out name
Crossed-out names
I see a crossed out name
I see a crossed out name

Well, I was waiting around for somebody to die
Nobody did but a part of me died
I suppose from all that waiting

These things they pass in time
But the moments get real and it's hard sometimes
I think of someone that I'd like to be and I hold that in my mind
But there's always tonight, tonight

And you, you make me feel like I'm here when I'm not
And it, it makes me feel like I'm not here
You, you make me feel like I'm not here
But I am, I am more than you think I am

Take a picture of your life for a second now
Freeze it and look at the screen
What parts of you were daydreams, illusions and other things

These things they pass in time
But the moments are real and it's hard sometimes
Keep the faith, keep moving in time to the music rolling in your mind
And when you stay home tonight it can become your home

You, you make feel like I'm here when I'm not here
And it, it makes me feel like I'm not here
You, you make me feel like I'm not here
And I am, I am more than you think I am
I am, I am more than you think I am

You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost

Sun that falls on your hands
As you type;
Just something in my head
Standing in this empty space
Your desk is gone;
The wall is still from where it went
This is position is not open now for applicants

The application forms get shredded
There was faulty wording in the document
I can still hear you laughing
Coming up the rickety stairs
Laughing as the springtime filled your longs with air
Grey smoke rung out like the patches of your hair
Like violets
Like birds inside the bells

Break those prows in the back of my mind
While the sun is out;
No, it's still up and the light is shining
It's season's push and pull and all to get us through
Well my mind is open now;
Like the door to an empty room
This position is not open now for applicants

The application forms get shredded
There was faulty wording in the document
I can still hear you laughing
Coming up the rickety stairs
Laughing as the springtime filled your longs with air
Grey smoke rung out like the patches of your hair
Like violets
Like birds inside the bells

If somehow I had known
I'd have rather gone down with the ship
Than be without you
If only for the chance to hold your hand;
To be your friend
If never for the last time
I would've rather gone down in this
The war is over
The war is over
The war is over
And I'm waiting in the sinking ships

If only I had known

Red shoes go sailing through the trees
leaving no traces at all
not even a scatter in the leaves
the reflections are only memories

Evergreen, lay down beside me
Evergreen
Evergreen
Evergreen, make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains, love
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean
Evergreen
Evergreen, my love
My love

It might be easy to judge all that kindness
If you had grown accustomed to the darkness in the light
but certainly any room with a view of other windows
Must have doors that you can use
So you can be happy for the first time in your love
Amen, it's your destiny
It can start any time
And maybe you'll find someone to lay some roots down next to you
And be more like the trees and less like the clouds stop moving around so much

Evergreen, lay down beside me
Evergreen
Evergreen
Evergreen, make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains, love
Evergreen, lay down beside me
Evergreen
Evergreen, make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains, love
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean
Evergreen
Evergreen, my love
My love

I am just staring at the moon like it was yesterday
See my face reflecting in the lights in the window
In the window pane
Trees outside and hills
With a belly full of sleeping pills
With a little less pain

I’m just sitting in the sun watching boats go by
Chains locked fast to the pier
In the bottom of the boat there’s a picture of a family older than their years

I saw time come
And I saw time go
Like the light on the blackening oceanside

Oh it doesn’t feel like yesterday
Like yesterday

I know a sickness so ancient and cross
No crucifix could ever fix enough
In the basement of a church, these people, they talk
There is a line
That must be walked
If you wanna make it stop
Then stop

I know a place where the future is denied
I know a hand that twitches inside
For some of us the glass is filled with lights
But if the honey makes you sick,
honey, there is a line
That must be walked if you wanna make it stop
Then stop
Stop

Lie down
You don't have to talk
Slow down
Breathe
Stop
Slow down
It's not your fault
Look around, there's so many of us
So many of us
You are not alone
Ever
Ever
Ever

Stop

Call in the backup and the backup comes
Nobody can help you if you won't
Inside your chest your heart is just hurt
Behind your eyes a need replaced a want

I know a sickness so ancient and cross
A crucifix can never fix enough
I know a past when the future is lost
I know of a line that must be walked

There is a darkness and there is a light
And there is a choice.
For a balance to be made every night
A weakness must be found
If you want it to stop
Stop
Stop

[No lyrics]

i am on a street, I walk
into the store, I do not talk
i think of you, i think a lot
of what you might say

memory lane

the old man at the store still sings
a funny, ancient tune, chinese
'n' whistles to himself and sees
i am alone again today
he winks, as if to say
"it's okay"

memory lane
memory lane

sometimes when my memory fails
i look into my book of spells
cards we wrote and pictures taken
by someone else
i feel the pain

memory lane

i sleep by the window sill
sounding out and dream for real
of simple times of hands in tangle,
fingers engaged

memory lane
