Why do you act like we’ve never met? ‘Cause I knew you when we were skipping out for cigarettes So, why do you act like we’ve never met? You’re talking over me; I’m talking under sea And I can’t barely breathe thinking ‘bout how you can make it look so easy To leave this be (leave this be); I’m gonna leave this be for now But when I get you alone, I’m gonna bring it all back home Why do you act like we’ve never met? ‘Cause I knew you when we were skipping out for cigarettes So, why do you act like we’ve never met? ‘Cause I knew you when we were skipping out for cigarettes You’re talking through your teeth to me; I’m digging underneath the sea And I can’t barely breathe thinking ‘bout how you can make it look so easy To leave this be (leave this be); I’m gonna leave this be for now But when I get you alone, I’m gonna bring it all back home (Leave this be) I’m gonna leave this be (until we’re alone) until we’re alone (Leave this be) I’m gonna leave this be (until we’re alone) until we’re alone (Leave this be) I’m gonna leave this be until we’re alone And then you know I’m bringing it all back home

If it were 10 years ago or 10 years from now And I had the chance to lock this down somehow Well, baby, I’d never let you go But today, child, it just can’t be so And you know I know I know you know I know, oh… You’re a stone-cold bitch, but you’re easy to talk to And that’s something which I just can’t shake about you But don’t worry – nothing’s changed Yet, still the same, I wish I could say Come on, baby… ooh… Come on, baby… ooh… Come on, baby… ooh… Come on, baby… ooh…

I was left out here to wander I had much too much to ponder And as I made my way out yonder there My thoughts of her grew fonder She was just a few years younger I could see she had the hunger And when she got hot she flung her heart At whatever had just stung her And I’m folding my arms around you Holding you down to the ground to keep you from yourself But she burned up all my lumber And she woke me from my slumber And as I reached out she thumbed her nose And said I better take a number So I pillaged and I plundered I left it all asunder And I took my time when I gunned her down Then I rolled out with the thunder And now I’m left to wonder Did she cast the spell I’m under? ‘Cause when I had her here I shunned her away And that was my greatest blunder Yeah, it was my greatest blunder…

I Heard It 04:08
I just got home a bit ago I’m moving kinda slow, trying to lay low I came here hoping I might find my flow Can you show me what you know before I have to hit the road? I don’t know what you’re gonna say I haven’t heard before If I heard it once, I heard it twice, I heard forevermore And I’m feeling kinda stuck between something old and new I guess I’ve been putting off a lot I thought I had more time to do When I see the other side I start to think I might like it, too Have I missed my chance to make it fit the way it does on you? I fucking hate the way I let you make me feel This kind of ride wasn’t part of the deal I don’t expect you to be affectionate So, when you are, I know it’s real I don’t know what you’re gonna say I haven’t heard before If I heard it once, I heard it twice, I heard forevermore I don’t know what you’re gonna say I haven’t heard before If I heard it once, I heard it twice, I heard forevermore If I heard it once, I heard it twice, I heard forevermore If I heard it once, I heard it twice, I heard forevermore

You know I’ve made my share of mistakes Waited too long for some lucky break And now I find my luck’s run dry And my mind can only see that look in your eyes And maybe I’m wrong to think about you The way that I do when I’m feeling blue You know I’ve never been the best about keeping track Of all the times I should like to have back It’s as though I’ve forgotten more than I’ve learned ‘Cause I can’t begin to recall all the bridges I’ve burned And maybe I’m wrong to think about you The way that I do when I’m feeling blue And maybe I’m wrong to think about you The way that I do when I’m feeling blue Yeah maybe I’m wrong to think about you The way that I-I do when I’m feeling blue Baby, am I wrong to think about you Oh, the way that I do when I’m feeling blue Tell me, am I so wrong to think about you When I’m, when I’m feeling blue

Back at Home 01:24
It’s gonna be a long time ‘til I’m back at home… It’s gonna be a long time ‘til I’m back at home… It’s gonna be a long time ‘til I’m back at home… It’s gonna be a long time ‘til I’m back at home… It’s gonna be a long time ‘til I’m back at home… It’s gonna be a long time ‘til I’m back at home… It’s gonna be a long time ‘til I’m back at home… It’s gonna be a long time ‘til I’m back at home…

Tired 02:56
I’m tired of wondering why I’m tired of living a lie I’m tired of having to try to keep quiet about you I’m tired of trying to hide it I’m so tired I can’t deny it Yeah, I’m tired of standing by it And keeping quiet, oh, about you Yeah, I’m tired of keeping quiet I’m tired, tired, tired of wondering why I’m living a lie I’m tired, so tired of trying to hide it, ‘cause I can’t deny it I’m tired, tired, tired, tired And even when I try, baby, I can’t keep quiet No, no, no, not about you, ooh (What about me?) I can’t keep quiet, oh, about you, ooh…

Done Before 01:59
Tell me, how many songs is this one? Tell me, how many songs have we sung that sound just like this one? It don’t really matter anymore Tell me, how many times can we rhyme ‘time’ with ‘time’ It’s such a fine line to find sometimes, it’s enough to make me lose my mind And I hear you say it’s been done before But if there’s one thing that I know for sure It don’t really matter anymore Sometimes I crawl up into my head thinking there’s gotta be something else Brown, yellow, orange, green, and red – I wanna go to bed And I hear you say it’s been done before But if there’s one thing that I know for sure It don’t really matter anymore
