Romeo

The air was cold
Your eyes were heavy
The day your childhood love died
Your heart was choking on its sorrow
Your 13 year old innocent belied
And me I've spent my life in waiting
On one whose heart knew more than mine
And now the stars are in my window
And on my breast the moon light

Oh Romeo I can't explain this weight upon my chest
That you'd live to tell the story to a girl whose left for less
I have never cried for thinking Verona was not mine
Why am I pacing through her dusty streets?
I pray there is not tragedy this time

Oh how they'll love to claim its magic
How that somehow frees their hands
And they say they'd love to change the world
And meanwhile they watch it from the stands
But you and I are all alone here now
It's not what either of us planned
I'd be the last to think I'd learn to love
Your beauty took so long to understand

Oh Romeo I can't explain this weight upon my chest
That you'd live to tell the story to a girl whose left for less
I have never cried for thinking verona was not mine
Why am I pacing through her dusty streets?
I pray there is not tragedy this time

Repeat chorus

Pressure

On a sticky summer night
Wasn’t possible to sleep
He went looking for a fight
He went running up the street
She was lying in their bed
Sweating twisted in the sheets
Thinking circumstance had wronged him
But that she would feel the heat
And it was true that shit could kill you

Pressure is looming in my doorway
God damn I let it in my room
Pressure is rattling my bedposts
I hope I get this window open soon

Joe was working for the man
He saw nothing else to do
Anger red and knuckles white

Dreaming Johnny Walker Blue
Or you squeeze the native fruit
Oh you try to fill that cup
Poverty or tourist loot
So you let them drink it up
What else can you do
That shit could kill you

Pressure is looming in my doorway
Can't ever let it in my room
Pressure is rattling my bedpost
I hope I get this window open soon

Me I bring this on myself
Unless it's brought by you
It's impossible to tell
I just know when I'm screwed
But I've seen the fruited plain
Blowing freedom through my brain
And I will lose this shame
I will lose this pain
And I mean it too cause that shit could kill you

Pressure is looming in my doorway
Can't ever let it in my room
Pressure is rattling my bedpost
I hope I get this window open

No One Would Believe Me

In a warm patch of sunlight
In a grey winterland
Some pretty boy and I
Are sitting on our hands
Inches from the deadly falling ice
I will never look him in the eye
Everything I touch I want to take
My mama said I'd be a heartbreaker

And oh how I long to let you fall in love with me
Not to see you weakened
But to convince you of life's beauty
Everybody thinks love makes you weak
And no one would believe me

Its a big celebration for the girls on the team
I seemed a likely candidate so they elected me
Expectations shines in their eye
I step up to the podeum and sigh
I say its time I told you who I am
I pray you'll still respect me if I say I love a man

Cause' oh how I long to let you fall in love with me
Not to see you weakened
But to convince you of life's beauty
Everybody thinks love makes you weak
And no one would believe me

Please don't look at me like I’m a thief
You will keep your treasures when I leave
I did not come here to steal anything from you
And you are too smart to tell me that I had you fooled

And you wait by the window as I bid them goodnight
But this I must say before the hour reaches light
I hope that you won't ever think me wrong
Who better to get swept up in the song
I could never limit where my love runs
And you’re the one it runs to every time the day is done

Favorite Shade Of Blue

I must look like a killer
Someone’s bleeding and he's pointing at me
He is saying evil fills her
And I am crying but why should i feel guilty

Cause' I really want the best for you
Why won't you ever think that’s true
Goodbye my favorite shade of blue

Alibis are all around you
Saying your blood always ran more blue
The color of truth
The color of misery
And what is my blood
But red ink staining their memory

Cause' I really want the best for you
Why won't you ever think that’s true
Goodbye my favorite shade of blue

And you’re comfort
Like a dull pain
And you flare up
And blame blame blame
But it's such a strain to explain

But I really want the best for you
Why won't you ever think that’s true
Goodbye my favorite shade of blue

Another Man Done Gone

Another man done gone
Another man done gone
Another man done gone
From the county farm
Another man done gone

He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
Had a long chain on                                                                                 
He had a long chain on

I didn't know his name
I didn't know his name
I didn't know his name
Didn’t know his name
I didn’t know his name

They killed another man
They killed another man
They killed another man
Killed another man
They killed another man
