Wine & a Song (10/15/17)

I'll bring you wine & a song to your front door
Who could ever ask for more
There's not so much we can do until the night falls
Can't you hear me call
I'll bring you fun in the sun if you'd like
we can even ride a bike
But before we go out, we'll stay in
Let the adventure begin
We've got our whole lives set ahead
That's something we cannot forget
I'll turn off the TV and pull the shades
Don't you know we've got it made
Got it made, day to day
Hear me when I say
We've got our whole lives set ahead
That's something we cannot forget
We've got our whole lives set ahead
'Cause baby, you with me, that's the best
You'll bring me cups & cakes, birds & bees
You've got everything I need
I'll bring you wine & a song to your front door
Who could ever ask for more

Something like a mixtape, something like a rescue
Nothing like an open field, it always gets the best of you
Part-time spy, full-time prophet
Wide-eyed grin, you were off like a rocket
Another river, another song
Not to many chords to get us on
The road ahead, the road ahead
You should that you're the best
Don't you know you left at the wrong time
Come as a king, went off like a landmine
A room at the top, not always the best view
Sometimes a split single, but always a rescue
Another river, another song
Not to many chords to get us on
The road ahead, the road ahead
You should that you're the best
There I was, paralyzed at the bridge
And I have to wonder, did he really know what he did
Something like a mixtape, something like a rescue
Another river, another song
Not to many chords to get us on
The road ahead, the road ahead
You should that you're the best
Another river, another song
Not to many chords to get us on
The road ahead, the road ahead
You should that you're the best

Take a knee for Rita
Take some honey if you want something sweeter
To get you through the day you might have had
Take a knee for peace
Take a pill if you need release
From the story that you might have thought you'd planned
Before you run for cover you should know that there's no other
Time or place for you to make a stand
And if you ever wonder 'bout this spell that you are under
Open up and question why you ran
Take a knee for Rita
Take a look inside if you stop believin'
In the things that used to bring you joy
Take a knee in protest
Take a look, decide if we're the best
That we can be and, if not, make some noise
Before you run for cover you should know that there's no other
Time or place for you to make a stand
And if you ever wonder 'bout this spell that you are under
Open up and question why you ran

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world & the seven seas
We're all looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world & the seven seas
We're all looking for something
Some want to use you
Some want to get used by you
Some want to abuse you
Some want to be abused
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world & the seven seas
We're all looking for something
Hold your head up, hold your head up
Hold your head up, hold your head up
Hold your head up, hold your head up
Hold your head up, keep movin' on
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?

I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
They say it's like coming clean
Say it's like being born again
When the judgement comes
I hope you'll look lightly on me
When the stars fall
The stars fall into the sea
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
They say it's like coming clean
Say it's like being born again
---
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
They say it's like running free
Like breaking from the norm
Breaking from the norm
After all is said & done
We get what we deserve
Say what you gotta say
They won't hear a single word
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
They say it's like coming clean
Like being born again
---
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
They say it's like running free
Like breaking from the norm
Breaking from the norm
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm
I've got some friends who like to live in the eye of the storm

Get up off your heels
I think you know the deal
You'd better learn to love instead of fighting with fear
I know I could be wrong
But I will sing this song
And I will say the things you don't want to hear
You don't speak for me
And you don't speak for Jesus
And I don't think you see them
The way I think He sees us
But if you come around, we won't keep you down
We will welcome you back home
This is your last gasp
Do I have to ask
Do you believe that things were better in the past
And I may not understand
The life that God has planned
But everyone deserves a love that has a chance to last
You don't speak for me
And you don't speak for Jesus
And I don't think you see them
The way I think He sees us
But if you come around, we won't keep you down
We will welcome you back home
You don't make the rules
But you act like like cowards
I want to see your history
I want to see your browsers
You don't speak for me
And you don't speak for Jesus
And I don't think you see them
The way I think He sees us
You don't speak for me
And you don't speak for Jesus
And I don't think you see them
The way I think He sees us
But if you come around, we won't keep you down
We will welcome you back home

So, it looks like we're learning as we go
We're going to war with what we used to know
Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me
You are going to have to leave your friends
You know you might have to face the end
Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me
It's never easy to change
It's not in our hearts to try to settle down
We put our hope in other plans
We keep our faith despite the runaround
Some say a pilgrim on a journey
Hard to believe that you are for me
Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me
We do our best, but we expect the worst
We pass the test, we live beyond the curse
Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me
It's never easy to change
It's not in our hearts to try to settle down
We put our hope in other plans
We keep our faith despite the runaround

Woke up this morning
A new day dawning
Adventure waits for me at every turn
I'm bouncing off the ceiling
I can't shake this feeling
Trouble waits, but I won't ever learn
Well, I've seen a lot of people
And I've sailed a lot of worlds
Don't worry 'bout the time I could've saved
I've had so many good times
And I've known my share of girls
But your love is like the crashing of the waves
Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves
Time for the sunrise
Shine like your big brown eyes
Look at me and tell me I'm the one
Won't you take my hand
See some colors we could not have planned
From the ocean blue to the setting of the sun
Well, I've seen a lot of people
And I've sailed a lot of worlds
Don't worry 'bout the time I could've saved
I've had so many good times
And I've known my share of girls
But your love is like the crashing of the waves
Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves
And just like Thunder Island, the rain will start to fall
But we won't care, we won't care at all
-- take it, Lee Ritenour --
Well, I've seen a lot of people
And I've sailed a lot of worlds
Don't worry 'bout the time I could've saved
I've had so many good times
And I've known my share of girls
But your love is like the crashing of the waves
Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves
I said, your love is like the crashing of the waves
Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves

Linda lost her balance again
She had a hard time finding a friend
Linda lost her balance again
And when she looked up, she'd come to the end
Of the rope that hung from the rafters upstairs
And she hoped for something, but nobody cared
And she choked on the words she thought she could share
She thought that she could share
Linda lost her balance again
Linda lost her mind for a spell
She had a hard time, but no one could tell
Linda lost her mind for a spell
And when she looks down, into the well
Of her dreams, she saw that they were still there
And it seems she might finally get her fair share
And she screams, but it ends up she's going nowhere
She's going nowhere
Linda lost her mind for a spell
Linda leaves the ones that she loves
When she wakes up, she wonders why she still runs
Linda leaves the ones that she loves
She has a hard time keeping her head above
All the waves that come crashing down on her head
And she saves all the best jokes for when you have left
And when she plays out her story, you might have time to guess
You might have time to guess
Linda leaves the ones that she loves

Nothin' but kangaroos as far as the eye can see
Hey, where's Jason? He was standing right beside me
Come down from a long flight at the bar in our hotel
Then we've got a story to sell
Rachel's mom called to say she didn't get in
She's with the band now, but you know she's just a friend
You Am I plays at the corner record shop
I hope this never stops
One mile either way from our home to the venue
Not a single sunless day and Cooper's on the menu
Only 10 feet from the bar to the bed
The Crown & Sceptre is where we'll lay our heads
We're playing football, but it's Australian rules
Had brunch with the players, a pitcher of Moscow Mules
Took a car for a test-drive on the wrong side of the street
Don't know where this will lead
One mile either way from our home to the venue
Not a single sunless day and Cooper's on the menu
Only 10 feet from the bar to the bed
The Crown & Sceptre is where we'll lay our heads
Tried to rock the Casino, they said we were the best
Had to duck out early to hang with INXS
We said our goodbyes, "We'll be back in a year"
And then we disappeared

We all need a little sunshine
Just like I need for you to be mine
Open the door and we will find
We're all ready for the springtime
We all need a little daylight
To prove that everything is alright
Even though the sun is trying to hide
We just can't keep it all inside
What do you do when the lights go out
Are you dreaming about when the flowers sprout?
You find there's nothing you can do
To hurry up and make that dream come true
Then you open your eyes, you realize
That it's here, it's finally here
You fall to your knees
And pray for the sun to appear
We all need a little sunshine
Just like I need for you to be. mine
Open the door and we will find
We're all ready for the springtime
We all need a little daylight
To prove that everything is alright
Even though the sun is trying to hide
We just can't keep it all inside
Remember the time when the clouds hung around
And thunder made that awful sound
The rain comes down, but you pick your battles
And you're not even living in Seattle
Then you open your eyes, you realize
That it's here, it's finally here
You fall to your knees
And pray for the sun to appear
Get outside, prepare to collide
With the sunshine in every way
Don't try to erase that smile on your face
You know it's gonna be a new day
We all need a little sunshine
Just like I need for you to be. mine
Open the door and we will find
We're all ready for the springtime
We all need a little daylight
To prove that everything is alright
Even though the sun is trying to hide
We just can't keep it all inside

Have you been muddied by the water?
Have you been trying to gain your sight?
Have you been wondering what comes after?
Are you ready to take flight?
Yeah, we all want to be healed
We all want to feel, something that's good
Yeah, we all need to get close
We all ned to shake loose, you know that we should
Underneath it all we're wearing the same souls
And we all know we'll fall and start to lose control
Underneath it all we want to play the part
Of the prince or the princess who beats the broken heart
We're all cowards in our own tombs
Frightened of the light of day
We like to see ourselves in ruins
But there must be a better way
Yeah, we all want to be loved
But is that enough to carry us through
Just when we think we can be real
It ain't no big deal, you know that's the truth
Underneath it all we're wearing the same souls
And we all know we'll fall and start to lose control
Underneath it all we want to play the part
Of the prince or the princess who beats the broken heart
gtr solo
Underneath it all we're wearing the same souls
And we all know we'll fall and start to lose control
Underneath it all we want to play the part
Of the prince or the princess who beats the broken heart

We all remember the dreams that slipped between the cracks
We might lament the friends that won't be coming back
But we can change the scene, yeah, we can make it true
What if you believed and I believed in you
You'll watch me wake up, you know that I can't worry anymore
I'll watch you take up all your baggage as you rise up from the floor
And we can shine a little love
We will lend a little light
As we sit and watch the shooting stars tonight
One time I thought I saw, I saw a miracle
It was not flesh & blood, it was not Biblical
I reached beyond my view, beyond what I could see
What if I believed and you believed in me
You'll watch me wake up, you know that I can't worry anymore
I'll watch you take up all your baggage as you rise up from the floor
And we can shine a little love
We will lend a little light
As we sit and watch the shooting stars tonight
And we'll sway to the music that is circling our souls
And we'll give up any notion that we were ever in control
And with a little luck & love we will be made whole
You'll watch me wake up, you know that I can't worry anymore
I'll watch you take up all your baggage as you rise up from the floor
And we will shine a little love
We will lend a little light
You'll watch me wake up, you know that I can't worry anymore
I'll watch you take up all your baggage as you rise up from the floor
And we will shine a little love
We will lend a little light
As we sit and watch the shooting stars tonight

Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new again
I don't how I go this way
I don't how I go this way, but I think I like it
We wake up to a new day
We try to find a new way just to make it through
Figure out what we're missing
And do our best to listen, we want to know the truth
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new again
I don't how I go this way
I don't how I go this way, but I think I like it
Before the clouds, they roll away
Until the crowds begin to fade, we'll always rise above
The days will slowly start to burn
Will we ever start to learn to offer up a touch
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new
Hey, look at you
All bright & bright & shiny & new again
I don't how I go this way
I don't how I go this way, but I think I like it
We wake up to a new day
We try to find a new way just to make it through

Red & Butter don't know each other
But they travel the world in separate vans
With their separate humans
---
Red & Butter go undercover
They don't put words on a page
But they hold it down on the stage
They say that road dogs got it hard
When they're traveling so far
Traveling so far
They say that road dogs got it bad
But these dogs don't get mad
They're the best we've ever had
Red & Butter, one is fluffier
But it does not make a difference
They've got plenty of sense
---
Red & Butter, they're just like brothers
It's hard to tell which is which
Road life can be a bitch
They say that road dogs got it hard
When they're traveling so far
Traveling so far
They say that road dogs got it bad
But these dogs don't get mad
They're the best we've ever had
Red & Butter, I don't mean to smother
Each of you with too many compliments
Talk about canine competence
They say that road dogs got it hard
When they're traveling so far
Traveling so far

Step up, step out
Loud and clear throughout the town
Wake up and fight for what you feel
Bad luck, no doubt
What's lost, it can be found
And don't pretend it's no big deal
Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive
You'll have to make mistakes
If you want to feel so alive
Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive
C'mon and join the club
Spend your time on things you love
It's OK to let yourself be afraid
What is, what was
Don't beat yourself up for the things you've done
Get up and live another day
Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive
You'll have to make mistakes
If you want to feel so alive
Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive
Dive to the ocean floor and back again
Fly 'til you can move no more against the wind
Cry until you finally begin to...
Step up, step out
Loud and clear throughout the town
Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive
You'll have to make mistakes
If you want to feel so alive
Prepare to fall down
Get ready to take a dive
Get ready to take a dive
