gin blossoms - follow you down
Did you see the sky, I think it means that we've been lost
Maybe one less time is all we need
I can't really help it if my tongue's all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge, it's just the farthest that I've everbeen
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
I know we're headed somewhere, I can see how far we've come
But still, I can't remember anything
Let's not do the wrong thing and I swear it might be fun
It's a long way down when all the knots we've tied have comeundone
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
Whoooo!
How you gonna ever find your place
Runnin' in an artificial pace
Are they ever gonna find us lying face down in the sand
So what the hell, we've already been forever damned
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down)
I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down)
I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down)
I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down)
gin blossoms - 25 women ago
She used to love me
But she just couldn't say it
Her friends just told me
I just found out today
I could have had her in my arms
But I didn't know
That she used to love me
But that was twenty-five women ago
If she just could have told me
You know I would have been true
But she knows all about the girls that I've had
There's not a thing I can do
Why did they have to tell me
I wish that I just didn't know
That I could have been happy
But that was twenty-five women ago
I close my eyes and I see her
She's even lovelier now
I want to ask her to give me one more chance
But I don't even know how
And then she speaks to me softly
And says there's one thing that I know
You get but one chance at true love
And yours was twenty-five women ago
gin blossoms - 29
Time won't stand by forever if I know it's true
And I've learned not to say never
Or else I'll seem the fool
Twenty-nine you'd think I'd know better
Living like a kid
When my lies may seem less than clever
Is when I fall for it
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifference
Without a second look
There's no intentions worthy of mention
If we never try
So hang your hopes on rusted-out hinges
Take 'em for a ride
Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Only time will tell...
gin blossoms - allison road
I've lost my mind on what I'd find
And all of the pressure that I left behind
On Allison Road
Fools in the rain if the sun gets through
Fire's in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road
Dark clouds file in when the moon is near
Birds fly by A.M. in her bedroom stare
There was no tellin' what I might find
I couldn't see I was lost at the time...
Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road
So she fills up her sails with my wasted breath
And each one's more wasted than the others you can bet
On Allison Road
Now I can't hide so why not drive
I know I want to love her but I can't decide
On Allison Road
I didn't know I was lost at the time
Eyes in the sun where the road wasn't wide
So I went looking for an exit sign
All I wanted to find tonight...
gin blossoms - angels tonight
Party girls between the sheets
She can't show that much to me
I'd rather drink until I see
Angels tonight
I had a girl I thought was mine
I wised up and just in time
Such wisdom makes these sluts look like
Angels tonight...
As we collide as the lights go out
There's someone else she thinks about
It's all for the best that I can't figure out
Angels tonight...
gin blossoms - as long as it matters
How can i find something
That two can take
Without stumbling as we
Walk into our future's wake
I'm like a broken record
That you can play
Repeating as if it matters
Everything i want to say
I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now
Forget that time
It's nothing we touch and see
All this is fine
Even as it crashes down on me
I'm looking around
There's nothing that i could want
More than to tell you
There's no more than we've already got
I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now...
Forget that our time is almost up i'll be all right...
gin blossoms - barley breathing
I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear
I only taste the saline, when I kiss away your tears
You really had me, wishing on a star
But the black hole that surrond you
Are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion
You were so completely torn
It must have been that yesterday
Was the day that I was born
Not much to examine
Nonthing left to hide
You really can't be serious
If you have to ask me why
I'll say goodbye
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I Don't suppose it's worth the price
Worth the price
The price that I would pay
Everyone keeps asking
What's it all about
I used to be so certain
But now I can't figure out
What is this attraction
I only feel the pain
There's nonthing left to reason
And only you to blame
Will it ever change
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imaginig you car
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don't suppose it's worth the price
Worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
Thinking it over anyway
I've come to find
I may never know
If your changing mind
Is a friend or foe
I rise above
Or sink below
With every time
You come and go
Please don't come and go
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don't suppose it's worth the price
Worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I'm thinkig it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway
I know what you're doing
I see it all to clear
gin blossoms - brackish water
I heard something I never could have thought would ever exist
Coming home was only a myth
I saw something can't make it up but could never forget
Seeing only what the water reflects
Seems all right, should have known
I don't care if you're not alone
In the brackish waters of home
Reasoning what I had lost
Watching the ? rain falling down
Where we went around
Falling to brackish sound
Trees and the crabgrass only look covered by time and the moss
Hoping for the time we had lost
Seems that now I've had my say, should never be ?
Coming home was always a joke
Reasoning what I had lost
Watching the Washington rain falling down
Where we went around
Falling to brackish sound
gin blossoms - cajun song
Well, she's leaving today I do know so far away
I'm feeling so blue and it shows in every single way
Once that girl she was mine for such a short time
We used to spend every night now all I do is cry
They say you can't miss something you've never had
So tell me why
Why I could feel so bad...
We used to walk down the path just like lovers do
She'd hold my hand and we'd laugh
I'd stare in her eyes they were blue
Once that girl she was mine for such a short time
We used to spend every night now all I do is cry
They say you can't miss something that you've never had
So tell me why
Why I could feel so bad...
gin blossoms - california sun
just three days and im missing you more than i thought i would
i missing you more than i like to say
i'm hanging on a hope swinging from a rope
it's all a shame
my biggest mistake was letting you get away
oh baby
california sun
so bright and beautiful, yea but that was yesterday
california sun
how'd you slip away
california sun
been about a week and i finally fall asleep as the sun comes in
through the broken blinds
laying all alone
sinking like stone
wish you were here
can't sleep you of my mind
california sun
so bright and beautiful yea but that was yesterday
california sun
how'd you slip away
california sun
umm ummm
california sun
im searching door to door
sunset down to the shore
where'd you disappear
i wonder were you go
i dont really want to know
you can find me here
gin blossoms - cheatin
New York City where it's cold as hell
And the streetlights shone in my blue room
I was thinking about the nights we spent
Back in Galveston beneath the Georgia moon
It was early and I'd had my share
I was countin' change for a cab ride back to bed
She looked to me through the cold night air
And thoughts of you kicked off inside my head
Well she was tall hair dark as midnight
She had a way just like you do
To make me feel just like a woman should
You can't call it cheatin'
Cause she reminds me of you...
Though I loved you and the trust we shared
Lord don't tell me that I've thrown it all away
A moment's weakness shouldn't change the fact
That I need you and there's nothing more to say
Lord she was tall hair dark as midnight
She had a way just like you do
To make me feel just like a woman should
You can't call it cheatin'
Cause she reminds me of you
gin blossoms - christine irene
Well I'm a little too ripe to be actin' like this
Like some young guy barely got his first kiss
From my first baby steps to my last cigarette
Every single little thing was leading to this
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
You've been around too long to react so coy
Like I'm something that you'd best avoid
Like a first date kiss from an anxious guy
Knowing that he's got a little more in mind
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
We can last til dawn if the moon stays bright
And hang our secret on its last light
From a first date kiss that could not hide
We both wanted something more tonight
Christine Irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
Christine Irene
Prettiest girl as I've ever seen
Christine Irene
My Christine Irene
gin blossoms - christine sixteen
She's got me dizzy
She sees me through til the end
She's got me in her hand
And there's no use in pretending
Christine Sixteen...
She drives me crazy
I want to give her what I got
She's hot every day and night
There is no doubt about it
Christine Sixteen
(I usually don't say things like this to girls your age
But when I saw you coming out of school that day
That day I knew, I knew
I've got to have you, I've got to have you)
She's been around but she's young and clean
I've got to have her, can't live without her
Oh no, Christine Sixteen...
(I don't usually say things like this to girls your age
I don't usually...well, sometimes)
gin blossoms - come on hard
Can we take this hell away to soul
I think of all this time and how we've grown
Can you wake up sudden feeling peace (pleased?)
and walking all this time while down on your knees
Staring at the skyline
I can smell those Brackish waters
I swear I've had this feeling here before
Come on hard at night I pine for you and no other
I promise I won't hurt you anymore
Poor us, frail as they come
And thinkin all this time I'm right and I'm not
I cannot help myself and I know it's not your fault
Well I was certain then but now I don't know
Staring at the skyline
I can smell those Brackish waters
I swear I've had this feeling here before
Come on hard at night I cry for you and all the others
I promise I won't hurt you anymore
Staring at the skyline
I can smell those Brackish waters
I swear I've had this feeling here before
Come on hard at night I cry for you and all the others
I promise I won't hurt them anymore
Staring at the skyline
I can smell those Brackish waters
I swear I've had this feeling here before
Come on hard at night I cry for you and no other
I promise I won't hurt you anymore
Well I promise I won't hurt you anymore
gin blossoms - competition smile
Well we've been here once before
And we've stuck it out for more
When we come around we'll settle down
The cracks below the floor
Has it been eleven years
Since I've stood here with my peers
And we started out to conquer doubt and Frisbee
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job
You're not missing much for sure
Only everything that's yours
And at times it fails and we're full sail in the gutter
Is this home 'cause I forgot
If it is then thanks a lot
'Cause I can't pretend to know one end from the other
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job
You're not missing much for sure
Only everything that's yours
At times it fails and we're full sail in the gutter
Is this home 'cause I forgot
If it is then thanks a lot
'Cause I can't pretend to know one end from the other
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job...
