Sam's Town lyrics

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?

I awoke on the roadside,
In the land of the free ride,
And I can't pull it any longer,
The sun is beating down my neck

So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses,
Like a stone on the water,
The elements decide my fate,
Watch it go
Bling

Come with me

We took a back road
we're gonna look at the stars
we took a back road in my car

Down to the ocean
it's only water and sand
and in the ocean we'll hold hands

but I don't really like you apologetically dressed
in the best put on a heart beat glide
without an answer
the thunder speaks for the sky

and on the cold wet dirt I cry
and on the cold wet dirt I cry

We hope you enjoy your stay
It's good to have you with us, even if it's just for the day

We hope you enjoy your stay
Outside the sun is shining, it seems like heaven ain't far away

It's good to have you with us, even if it's just for the day

Aggressively
we all defend
the role we play
Regrettably
time comes to send
you on your way
We've seen it all
bonfires of trust
flash floods of pain

It doesn't really matter
dont you worry it'll all work out
No it doesn't even matter
don't you worry what its all about

We hope you enjoy your stay
Its good to have you with us
even if its just for the day
We hope you enjoy your stay

I pack my case
I check my face
I look a little bit older
I look a little bit colder

One deep breath, one big step
I move a little bit closer
I move a little bit closer
For reasons unknown

I caught my stride, I flew it flight
I know if destiny's kind
I've got the rest on my mind
But my heart, it don't beat
It don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes they dont see you no more

Let me wrap myself around you
Let you show me how I see
And when you come back in from no where
Do you ever think of me

Your heart is not able
Let me show you how much I care

I need those eyes to tie me over
I take your picture when I go
Gives me strength and gives me patience
But I'll never let you know

I got nothin' on you, baby
But I always said I'd try

On the corner of main street
Just trying to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and you say I'm falling behind

Can you read my mind
Can you read my mind

I never really gave up on breaking out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind
Can you read my mind

The good old days
The honest man
The restless heart

Nobody ever had a dream 'round here
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
Nobody ever pulls the seams 'round here
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
I've got this energy beneath my feet
Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me
I've got this sentimental heart that beats
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now

Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said "The leaves are fallin' down
Such a beautiful sound
Son, I think you'd better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
'Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
Boy it ain't nothin' new
Now go and show 'em that the world stayed round

Note from Mod: I got about 5 messages saying it was "Jonny" without the "h",
so I changed it....I hope it's right. :)

When everybody else refrains
My uncle Jonny did cocaine
He's convinced himself right in his brain
That it helps to take away the pain
Hey, Jonny
Hey what you say Jonny

I wanna go out tonight
Come a little closer to the city lights
Levitation aint your only friend

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To to save your from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now- here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy

There's a plane and I am flying
There's a mountain waiting for me
Oh these years have been so trying

I don't know if I can use them
Am I strong enough
To be the one
Will I live to have some children

Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down

If I only knew the answer
I wouldn't be bothering you

Father
Help me get down
