Worry Has No Home

Child

Take your heart and put it in this, once was silver, rusted tin
and hide it in the ground for your protection
Heartlessly walk through the streets
so all the heartless souls you meet 
will learn to feel the burn of your rejection
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh 

You say you've never known a heart to tether yourself to before
and that's frightening, I'm sure

So you're worried you'll die alone
Tell your worries they've got no home 
Do you need me now?
Then believe me now      oh oh oh 
If you're worried you'll die alone 
tell your worries they've got no home 
Do you need me now?
Then believe me now 

 oh oh...

Give to me your fragile box
so I can learn to pick the lock
and mend whatever brokenness you're hiding
Take my half it's bent and bruised
whatever's left of yours we'll use
to build a single heart we'll both confide in
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh 

You say you've never known a heart to tether yourself to before
and that's frightening, I'm sure
You're worried; in constant fear when we're together
that I'll see it'll storm and leave you ignored


So you're worried you'll die alone
Tell your worries they've got no home 
Do you need me now?
Then believe me now      oh oh oh 
If you're worried you'll die alone 
tell your worries they've got no home 
Do you need me now?
Then believe me now 

 oh oh...



Today I Told My Girl I Loved Her

I haven't loved somebody in awhile
and darlin I feel frightened when I do
I suppose I'll die alone if this loneliness doesn't kill me
but I've been getting good at getting through

You talk about the reasons you don't want me
and my reciprocated thoughts towards you
but the nights I spend alone seem to haunt me
it's a bitter taste, the bitter ways of truth

If I told you once I've told you a thousand times;
I don't care about you
If I've told you a thousand times you should know
that I'm trying to convince myself that it's true

Today I told you I loved you
I love you, I told you today...
...I'll never stray


Momma, I'm Fine

I cut my trail toward a warming light
from where the wild, true vastness grows
in hopes that I might find a home in somewhere worth settling
I saw him leaving from the law man's wife
and when he witnessed that I'd witnessed him he sought to claim my life
but in our bout his own blade caught him

In his blood he lay when the justice came
A lavish tale, she claimed that it was I who tried to touch her
and her savior was slain

I'm fine
Momma, I'm fine
hammering these rusty nails of mine
and held within these walls of Louisiana
Momma, I'm fine
Momma, I'm fine
Counting down my days until my time is done
and I'll be home to Marianna


The day is no different than the dawn within these sullen walls
No room has ever felt so much a tomb as where they keep me
They say,
"the weight falls heavy on, and grace won't find the man
who's got a heart for killing or another's faithful wife
and heaven will ignore my pleading"

The whole town came for to see my fate
How the verdict rang when they told me I'd be over by morning

Momma, I'm fine
Momma, I'm fine
hammering these rusty nails of mine
and held within these walls of Louisiana
Momma, I'm fine
Momma, I'm fine
Counting down my days until my time is done
and I'll be home to Marianna


Send her 48 letters over 48 months
I asked the warden if he'd send them after my own life was done
So my mother'd never worry
They say it doesn't hurt you, what you don't know...

Momma, I'm fine
Momma, I'm fine

Momma, I'm fine
Momma, I'm fine
hammering these rusty nails of mine
and held within these walls of Louisiana
Momma, I'm fine
Momma, I'm fine
Counting down my days until my time is done
and I'll be home to Marianna


Love As Strong as Doubt

We cowards turn and run from nothing;
simply because we've learned the act of running
feels braver than hiding but is easier than standing ground
It's not that I am scared of holding
onto something I feel is worth us growing
I just don't see the point
in building things to be brought down 

But there's something in the way you're smiling
that makes me feel these fears subside
and as if I had you, darlin', I wouldn't need anything else
Still I feel the same expect of hurting
in your frightening way of reassuring me
that things won't change
and I can love you as I do my doubts

Hold me close, I'm trying to let things go
You'll have to trust I'm trying to trust in you

Now I see your face in every vision
In my childish way I'm always wishing
That I'd be more brave
and I could love you as I do my doubts


Haunts

I found a darkened place I've not visited in awhile
for what purpose have you brought me here tonight?
I feel the cold embrace of fears I once fought as a child
and forced from in the confines of my mind

In anxiousness I tremble
My heart strains, I'm breathing harder now

oh oh I feel this burning in my soul 
it's like it's screaming at me, 
"don't waste your heart on this worrying anymore, 
some things aren't worth their holds. 
I just want to make you feel and drag you out again"
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh 

My fathers faith can't save me from
all the absence felt in walking with all faith abandoned
How strange is this hope so dry it's threatening to drown me
through my aimless grasps at understanding?
Oh Death, what sting do you hold for me?
or would you calm me down?

I wait, in anxiousness I tremble.
My heart strains, I'm breathing harder now

oh oh I feel this burning in my soul 
it's like it's screaming at me, 
"don't waste your heart on this worrying anymore, 
some things aren't worth their holds. 
I just want to make you feel and drag you out again"
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh 


Wanted Again

Store tightly away your heart in a cast made of iron
to keep safe from the darts and the wreckage that's transpired
Cover up your longing eyes and thread shut-tight your mouth
and let no one every inside your mind who you can not get out
Oh, you will be wanted again

Keep aware of your foes, but fight harder off your memories
for you'll cause more harm to yourself than could be brought by your enemies
Be slow to give disclosure and keep doubt a true companion
but let no callous grow so thick it won't remove when you command it
Oh, you will be wanted again

Tie your dead faith to your back and drag it through the mire and thorns
in hope that soon you'll meet someone by whom the dead can be reborn
Give no offer of affection until you're promised the same
Try to let go of the past but don't forget from where you came
Oh, you will be wanted again

You will be wanted again
You will be wanted again
You will be wanted again


Honey Bee

I'm your man 
And I'm you're girl
I guess we found something perfect in an imperfect world 
Don't you know, can't you see that I belong with you and you belong with me?

I'm your girl
And I'm your man
We look good together walking, slowly, hand in hand
Don't you know, it's true that you belong with me and I belong with you? 

Baby, you and me fit together like a missing puzzle piece
Darlin' see that I can be your honey if you'll be my bee

I love you
And I love you
Will we stick together, honey, like we always do?
Don't you know, can't you see, that I belong with you and you belong with me
I'm your man 
And I'm you're girl
I guess we found something perfect in an imperfect world 
Don't you know it's true, that you belong with me and I belong with you?
Baby, you and me fit together like a missing puzzle piece
and Darlin' see, that I can be your honey if you'll be my baby
1-2-3 and you fall into my arms so naturally
You're like A-B-C - learning you is the start of everything
You and me - we fit together like a missing puzzle piece
Darlin' see, that I can be your honey if you'll be my bee

I'm your man 
And I'm you're girl
I guess we found something perfect in an imperfect world 
Don't you know it's true, that you belong with me and I belong with you?

I'm your girl
And I'm your man
We look good together walking, slowly, hand in hand
Don't you know? Cant you see that I belong with you and you belong with me?



Call Off The Bets

(written by: Laurel Lane)

I'm going out on the town now, honey
I'm trying not to be blue
I'm gonna go and watch that band that played the night I first saw you
I'd be fine if you didn't go; but you're happier when you do
You told me you're a rambler
so, Honey, I knew

Call off the bets
It hasn't happened yet
But I don't think I'll regret when it do
You're not the type I thought would be my Mr. Right
But I'm pretty sure I might end up with you

I'm going anywhere but back home, darlin' 
where I'd probably just sit alone
That ain't no place for a girl to be who is left wondering about the unknown
I'd be fine if you didn't go; but you're happier when you do
You told me you're a rambler
So, Honey, I knew what I was getting into
I knew what I was getting into

Call off the bets
It hasn't happened yet
But I don't think I'll regret when it do
You're not the type I thought would be my Mr. Right
But I'm pretty sure I might end up with you

oh oh...

I knew what I was getting into
I knew what I was getting into
I knew what I was getting into

Call off the bets
It hasn't happened yet
But I don't think I'll regret when it do
You're not the type I thought would be my Mr. Right
But I'm pretty sure I might end up with you

I'm going out on the town now, Honey
I'm trying not to be blue


Trouble on a Troubled Mind

My offer stands, I'm waiting for the words of your reply
It seems there's no escaping all this trouble on my mind
If you want me, show you're staying;
if you don't then say goodbye
I'm wondering and praying for the truth no more to hide

Know no worries
Know no fears
Know I'll be here when everybody disappears

Now you're walking out, I'm standing with a blur upon my mind
running though the days that lead us here to this decline
As a soldier to his brothers swears never one to leave behind
You promised to me long before we crumbled over time;
but the honest fell a victim to the truth within the lies
were there flashes of a signal that I failed to recognize?
I guess there ain't no use in wondering if you're only wondering why

Know no worries
Know no fear
Know I'll be here when everybody disappears
