The Given

Wade Bowen The Given歌詞
1.All That's Left

Heading out, another night is falling
These empty arms* have got something to prove
'Cause they're all that's left of loving you.
I washed this jacket half* a hundred times,
But your smell don't fade away like the blue
It's all that's left of loving you.*

I turn sidewalks over* memories,
Walk these crowded streets 'till they're empty.
I talk to strangers, lean on old friends,
* They hide* the silence that comes creeping in the room
'Cause that's all that's left of loving you.

This pair of boots you bought me for no reason
They're looking ragged and the soles are worn* clean* through
They're all that's left of loving you.
A man plays guitar on the corner
He must feel like me, 'cause all he plays is leaving* tunes
And that's all that's left of loving you.

I turn sidewalks over* memories,
Walk these crowded streets 'till they're empty.
I talk to strangers, lean on old friends,
* they hide* the silence that comes creeping in the room
'Cause that's all that's left of loving you.(x2)

That's all that's left of loving you.

Closing time, I stumble to the taxis
Tell the driver “Eldride* lane, 12 o2”
'Cause that's all that's left of loving you.


2.Saturday Night

It was a Saturday night in a place back just like this
In the laughin', in the dancin', we were havin' one last kiss
There's nothing quite as lonely as a crowd when you're all alone
And there's nothing but Sunday morning waitin' for me at home

So why does everybody love Saturday night?
Stale smell of beer and the smoke in your eyes
I keep sittin' and drinkin' and thinkin' 'bout a sad goodbye
So tell me, why is everybody so in love with Saturday night?

Well, hey bartender, could you throw those drunk girls out?
And don't you think that band's just a little too loud?
Tell that couple in the corner to please go get a room
Oh, it's a damn good party but what am I supposed to do

Why does everybody love Saturday night?
Stale smell of beer and the smoke in your eyes
I keep sittin' and drinkin' and thinkin' 'bout a sad goodbye
So tell me, why is everybody so in love with Saturday night?

Well, she's out there somewhere
With a pretty little dress, a smile in her eyes
'Cause she's one of those who loves Saturday night

Why does everybody love Saturday night?
Stale smell of beer and the smoke in your eyes
I keep sittin' and drinkin' and thinkin' 'bout a sad goodbye
So tell me, why is everybody so in love?

Why is everybody so in love?
Why is everybody so in love with Saturday night?
Oh yeah, Saturday night


3.A Battle Won

Verse 1:
I drink coffee in the morning
As she slams the bedroom door
She had enough of me
She sure did let me know
Oh the silence spoke out loud and clear
Heard a tear hit the floor from here
Oh I can sure feel my stubborn ways

Chorus:
Oh the things i do to prove I'm right
Break her heart just to watch her cry
Leave her stranded on an island all alone
I can't stand it when I'm wrong
Being right ain't worth the cost
Yeah 'Cause sometimes a battle won is a battle lost

Verse 2:
You always tell me that you love me
With conviction in your eyes
You're my best friend, my biggest fan
And you're always on my side
And the more I sit here all alone
The more this sad disgrace runs through my bones
It cuts just deep enough to realize

Chorus

Well nobody in the world ever really wants to lose
Yeah but what's the point in winning
If I can't win with you

Chorus

Yeah sometimes a battle won is a battle lost.


4.Patch Of Bad Weather

Guess you should have known that I end up alone
I saw so many signs, but I kept my eyes closed
But everybody said that you are good as gone
And I should let you go, but I keep holding on.

And now I'm driving and I'm dying and I'm cursing your name
There are clouds filling the skies and it's starting to rain.

You told me we will gonna be forever
Heaven or hell, for worse or better
But you had your fingers crossed, yeah, you think it's so clever
Just run through this town like a patch of bad weather.
Run through this town like a patch of bad weather.

Look at this aftermath, it happened just like that
You lay it all away so I can't get it back
I wonder where you are and who's your fool
I hope you're off again and that they are into you.

And now I'm driving and I'm dying and I'm cursing your name
There are clouds filling the skies and it's starting to rain.

You told me we will gonna be forever
Heaven or hell, for worse or better
But you had your fingers crossed, yeah, you think it's so clever
Run through this town like a patch of bad weather.
Run through this town like a patch of bad weather.

You think it's so cool, yeah, you think it's so clever
Just run through this town like a patch of bad weather.
Yeah, like a patch of bad weather.


5.On My Way To Wonderful

On my way to wonderful I found you, it feels so good to be
around you
Pray the day; forever's what I'm feeling, something to believe
in, baby.
In your eyes everything under horizon, I can see the light, oh,
how it shines
Hold on tight to this gift that has been given, we're alive but
now we're really living.

Living a dream, lost in a smile, loving a heart, knowing it's
mine
We are a song, a song of a sea, let the world hear it, baby, let
it ring.

6.Say Anything

Well I'll just come out and say it
I don't come here much
If I'd said it as a question
You probably would've gotten up
Cause a pick up line
Just ain't my style and I assume it isn't yours
So why don't we just start with a drink
I'm in no mood to think

Please just say, say anything
Tell a story, ramble on
I'll pretend to go along
Yea, cause she, she wears someone else's ring
I let her go cause I was blind
And I can't get it off my mind
So say anything

I can't promise that I'll listen
Or hang on every word
Cause my thoughts tend to wonder
Every time I think of her
Oh, and how she could have told me
All I was doing wrong
She took my pride and left me broken
All because of things left unspoken

So, please just say, say anything
Tell a story, ramble on
I'll pretend to go along
Yea, cause she, she wears someone else's ring
I let her go cause I was blind
And I can't get it off my mind
So say anything

Give me pointless words with healing touch
I'll believe anything

You Say, say anything
Tell a story, ramble on
I'll pretend to go along
Yea, cause she, she wears someone else's ring
I let her go cause I was blind and I can't get it off my mind

So say anything
Baby, just say anything
Oh, anything
At all


7.You Ain't Got Me

You've gotten use to
No one to hold you
Maybe you're good at all alone
You ain't pretending
You're some helpless princess
And you ain't waiting by the phone
You got all you got on your own

Baby you think you
Have it all, don't you
Who am I to disagree?
Ain't nothing missing
By they way that your living
And you got all you need
Baby you ain't got me

I understand how
You don't want no man now
Coming around messing up your world
You're going to hurt me
But Baby don't worry
Hurting is what this heart of mine is for
Yea, always searching for something more

Baby you think you
Have it all, don't you
Who am I to disagree?
Ain't nothing missing
By they way that your living
And you got all you need
But Baby you ain't got me

Knocking at your door
Begging you for more
Of the laughter and the love we made
I'll take everything you send my way

Baby you think you
Have it all, don't you
Who am I to disagree?
There ain't nothing missing
By they way that your living
And you got all you need
Baby you ain't got me
No baby you ain't got me
Baby you ain't got me


8.Beat Me Down

There's a whole lot of nothing going on inside my head
Feels like my brain is fried, feels like my soul is dead
I've been working like a dog, putting way to big slave.
But these wheels keep on humming underneath my bed.

Damn you, devil, in this road of loneliness
You always knocked me down and I always got back up again.
So
Beat me down, beat me down
Come on, come on, beat me down.

Well, my momma has a nice way telling me I look like hell
I guess it's from the alcohol, I guess I might, as well.
Just pour me another glass, 'cause all the way, it seems to
help.
Say, I'm transforming, momma, say, I'm not all for yourself.

Damn you, devil, in this road of loneliness
You always knocked me down and I always got back up again.
So
Beat me down, beat me down
Come on, come on, beat me down.
Beat me down, beat me down
Come on, come on, beat me down.

So
Beat me down, beat me down
Come on, come on, beat me down.
Beat me down, beat me down
Come on, come on, beat me down.
Beat me down, beat me down
Come on, come on, beat me down.
Beat me down, beat me down
Come on, come on.

Damn you, devil, in this road of loneliness
You always knocked me down and I always got back up again.
So beat me down.


9.To Live Is To Fly

Days up and down they come, like rain on a conquer drum
Forget most of the memories saw, but don't turn them away.
Everything is not enough, and nothing is too much to bare
Where you've been it's good and gone, all you keep is the give
and dare.

Oh, to live is to fly, both low and high
Shake the dust off of your wings and the tears out of your eyes.

We all got holes to fill, the holes are all as real
Some fall on you like a stone, sometimes you dig your own
The choice is yours to make, time is yours to take
Some sail over the sea, some toil upon a stone.

Oh, to live is to fly, both low and high
Shake the dust off of your wings and the tears out of your eyes.

Goodbye to all, my friends, it's time to go again
Think of all the poetry that you picking down the line
I'll miss the seas to bear, the bottle is low and the travel is
clear
But it don't pay to think too much on the things you leave
behind.

Oh, to live is to fly, both low and high
Shake the dust off of your wings and the tears out of your eyes.


10.Before These Walls Were Blue

The world says you're ready when you're eighteen
And I was no exception to the rule.
You could have tried my hand and prove to them that I was a man
Not an ounce of fear in anything I do.

Yeah, I thought I knew it all
Turns out I didn't have a clue
Before these walls were blue.

I remember sitting there in that old rock
Playing, trying to get you back asleep
When I found myself laughing at you laughing
Wishing a hundred times that I could cheat.
Yeah, I thought that I knew love
Turns out I didn't have a clue
Before these walls, before these walls were blue.

I believe in Heaven, I believe in magic,
I believe in a life besides these walls
Now I believe
In dinosaurs, in toys, trains and baseball
What you're gonna be for Halloween
I will be the villain and you will be the hero
And save the day the way that you saved me.
Yeah, I thought I knew myself,
Turns out I didn't have a clue
Before these walls, before these walls
Before these walls were blue.
