Bottle Rocket

Girl who ya kiddin, your man's a dog,
You can collar him and train him but it won't be long,
If you take your love away he's a wolf again,
Runnin with the pack loyal to his sin,
Baby who ya foolin I'm kerosine,
Add a little fire and your warm with me,
But get a little careless and I'll burn ya down,
Turn your house to rubble smoking on the ground,
CHORUS
WHOOOOAAAAA,
Light it up and I can't stop it,
WHOOOOAAAAA,
Bottle rocket, bottle rocket,
In every gentle man there's a little bit of rebel,
Walkin like a saint butcha dancing with the devil,
WHOOOOAAAAA,
Bottle rocket I can't stop it anymore.
It's a fine fine line that I walk for sure,
Between the straight and narrow and the open door,
I wanna find that light that you found in me,
Before the night's so dark that I'm too blind to see
CHORUS
Well maybe I'm in over my head,
But I'll keep throwing punches and I'll sleep when I'm dead,
CHORUS

The Worst Kind of gods
02:56
|
|||
Hey, let's get a few things straight,
I am a dot on a line,
Time and Space.
Alive, made up of tangible things,
And a desperate spirit in need,
Of love and grace.
CHORUS
I am not a good man,
It's good I seek to do,
Heaven's gate is narrow,
Pray for me, I'll pray for you.
Hey, let's get this one thing right,
No one is saved without love, grace and light,
Alone, we are the worst kind of gods,
Slaves to a selfish heart,
That always wants,
CHORUS
bridge:
leave me not to my own devices
leave me not with this desperate heart
leave me not in the darkness
leave me not to the world i've made
leave me not with this desperate heart
leave me not alone
leave me not alone
leave me not to my own devices
CHORUS

Wake Up Screaming
03:54
|
|||
I saw myself today,
Ten years in the future,
I didn't even know my face,
I couldn't give an answer,
For the waning years,
That slipped away,
Lost in a dream, no,
CHORUS
I don't wanna wake up screaming,
When it's too late,
Searching for some long lost meaning,
I gave away,
I don't wanna wake up screaming,
So don't let me fall,
Fall asleep on you,
I break down in the chapel
When only stain glass saints can hear
The prayers I seldom offer,
Through cold and heavy tears
My innocence,
Can I return to it,
Now that it's gone,
CHORUS
BRIDGE
To the questions I been asking,
That keep me up at 3am,
The love I'm running after,
Is it blessed or is it damned?
The man that I've become,
Who is he without love?
Who am I without you?
Who am I now?

A Fire Only We Know
04:20
|
|||
Only we know the quiet roads and the vacant malls,
Or the cool of perfect darkness just outside the sprawl,
Only we heard the drums pumping in the stadium,
And built our truths like fires,
In the promised land where we come from,
CHORUS
And when you look now in my eyes,
Do you see the boy that swore on every inch of you,
Our light would never die,
Is a bravery inside me,
Still clinging to my clothes,
Like smoke from a fire only we know.
Only we know how good your daddy's records sound,
Or just how far a fall it is from the window to the ground,
Only we smell the rain just before it comes,
And think first of each other,
Every time we're burned by love,
CHORUS
When I look now in your eyes,
I still see the thing that made us lions,
The thing that made us free,
And the bravery inside you,
Still clinging to your clothes,
Like smoke from a fire only we know.
Like SMOOOOOOKKKEEEE…
CHORUS
And when you look now in my eyes,
Do you see the boy that swore on every inch of you,
Our light would never die,
Is a bravery inside me,
Still clinging to my clothes,
Like smoke from a fire only we know.

Satisfied
03:41
|
|||
I've spent so much time,
Chasin,
A life I thought was mine,
I thought I deserved,
Thought I'd earned,
What is it in my heart,
That's damaged,
To take a beautiful life,
For granted cus,
It was how I planned it,
CHORUS
I've come to terms with the man that I made up,
And the one I really am,
I've taken turns on the days when I gave up,
And the ones I took a stand,
And I can be satisfied,
With you in my saddest times,
Or I can't be satisfied at all.
How many lessons must I learn,
The hard way,
And through it all to know I'm loved,
Always
I think I always knew
BRIDGE
CHORUS
EXTRA LYRICS
Give me an honest life,
I'm giving up killing time,
So I can be satisfied in you.

Infinite
04:27

Remember in the summer just melting away,
Riding in your brother's Camaro,
Every little sound on a dubbed cassette,
Hit you in the heart like an arrow,
Now I don't feel it like I did then,
Something just seemed to vanish,
But when I turn my ear to the August Wind,
I can still hear the magic
CHORUS
Yeah, we are infinite,
Don't you ever forget it,
Never forget it,
We are infinite.
The house your daddy built is buried under a mall,
Our favorite record store is an office,
What happened to the places that made us?
Did they all get lost in progress?
Even though it's gone it still lives on,
If only as a distant echo,
Bouncing off the metal of years gone by,
That I could never learn to let go,
CHORUS
I had a dream that you were pulled up in my drive,
A cigarette drawn to your lips,
When I woke I could hear you ringing in my ears,
Telling me to never forget,
CHORUS
Remember in the summer just melting away,
Riding in your brother's Camaro,
Every little sound on a dubbed cassette,
Hit you in the heart like an arrow,
