If someone said three years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out You took my hand, you showed me how You promised me you'd be around Uh huh, that's right I took your words, and I believed

Oh-oh-oh-oh When the sharpest words wanna cut me down I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me I know that there's a place for us For we are glorious I am brave, I am bruised I am who I'm

Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau Some belong to strangers, and some to

Everybody dies famous in a small town Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend maybe knows it just a little too well Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail Hey, word's gonna get around Every last one, route one, rural heart's got a story to

And you know, coming back is harder And leaving me is easy I read all the letters, I read each word that you've sent to me And though it's past now, and the words start to fade All the memories I have still remain I've kept all the pictures, but I hide

Let me be the one, Under the silver stars, Right where he broke your heart. Girl you know, I'd give you everything. I want to hold your hand, And say the words he never said. I'll make you promises you can believe. Telling you it's alright

(A thousand years from now we'll be still putting it down my baby) Baby girl in other words for ever more I'll be here (I'll be here) Cause, my whole life's been full of joy every since You came here, girl My whole world goes around, Because you spin me

Even if the tears fall and my heart hates me Baby I love you Uh oh, uh oh, here I go again, baby, baby I just wanna scream out 'til my voice breaks I just wanna know how I can save me Even if these three words choke and take me Baby I love you, oh, oh,

I got nothing And my mates are all there trying to calm me down 'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town I'm swearing if I go there now I can change her mind turn it all around And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words And she'll listen

Ah yeah, yeah, yeah Redemption's on your mind when you think about me 'Cause I'm searchin' for these words to say to you right now Ah please give me time Yeah, I get it Why would I say all these things to have you feelin' a way?
