grace potter and the nocturnals - ah mary

She's skilled at the art of deception and she knows it
She's got dirty money that she plays with all the time
She waters the garden but maybe she just likes the hoses
She puts herself just a notch above humankind

Ah mary
She'll make you cookies
Then she'll burn your town
Ah mary
Ashes ashes but she won't fall down
She's the beat of my heart
She's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me
And maybe everyone

Call her a bully she'll blow up your whole damn playground
Pour her a drink and watch it go straight to her head
She'll take you so high up and cover her eyes as you fall down
Then in the morning don't be surprised if you're dead

Ah mary
She'll bake you cookies
Then she'll burn your town
Ah mary
Ashes ashes but she won't fall down
She's the beat of my heart
She's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me
And maybe everyone

Ah mary, mary mary

grace potter and the nocturnals - ain t no time

Well there ain't no time to let that gun by shy babe
There ain't no time to live up to the lie babe
There ain't no time to let the well run dry babe
There's far too many things to do
Before the day is through

Well there ain't no way of pushing back the clock babe
There ain't no way to make the bad man stop babe
There ain't no time to holler out until your face turns blue
Because there's far too many things to do
Before the day is through
Well there ain't no time

Purple mountain's majesty has turned all black and blue
The shots that fired up the hill
They're headed right for you
There ain't not time to look me in the eye
Or ask me what i'm doing
There's far too many things to do
Before the war is through
There ain't no time

grace potter and the nocturnals - all but one

I've forgotten the reasons for loving you
I've forgotten the love that you gave

All the days on the run
Sitting shotgun
All the things that I loved
All but one

I know better then to tell you I miss you
I know how hard it was just to go

But I've forgotten the fun
It set with the sun
All things that I loved
All but one

There's just one thing I'll hold to forever
There's just one little glint in your eye
And it will hunt me inside like the devil
No matter how hard I try

I've forgotten the reason for loving you
I've forgotten the love that you gave

All the days on the run
Sitting shotgun
All the things that I loved
All but one

grace potter and the nocturnals - apologies

Yesterday he said my eyes
Were fading fast away
I said well what do you expect
You asked me not to stay and if it had all been for the best
I wouldn't feel this way
And he said

Oh he said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this morning
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies

My love is like a blanket
That gets a little bit too warm sometimes
I wanna wrap somebody in it
Who can hold me in his arms
Cause when it got a little too hot in there
He was always stepping out for air and he froze
Oh he froze

He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this morning
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies

Yesterday he looked at me
With a tear in his eyes and said
I'll always tell you you're my friend
I hope I don't have to lie
Cause it's clear you love another man
I said you're damn right

And he said
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this morning
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
That I didn't figure it out before
And now it's too late for a soliloquy
It's way too late for dignity
It's time for apologies

grace potter and the nocturnals - bethany joy lenz

I'm the girl with the best intentions
something I should probably mention
I like to get just what I paid for
So i pay and I get and I pay and want some more, more, more

And I want something that I want
Something I tell myself I need
Something that I want
I need everything I see

I'm a girl who's got a notion
I'm a gonna show you my magic potion
I could shop till I drop right to the floor
And I get right up and I want some more, more, more

And I want something that I want
Something I tell myself I need
Something that I want
I need everything I see (everything I see)

Mo-o-o-o-re

And I want something that I want
Something I tell myself I need
Something that I want
I need everything I see

Something that I want
something that I tell myself I need
something that I want
And I need everything I see

grace potter and the nocturnals - big white gate

My body's acing from laying in this bed
I went singing in the rain and the cold got to my head
I don't know who's paying i just know what the doctor said
84 years of a sinning life and in the morning i'll be dead

I had three daughters
A new man for every one
The only man that i ever loved
Left me with my only son
I was a no good mother
I was a no good wife
There's only one thing that i did right in this godforsaken life

Saint peter won't you open up the big white gate
Cause i heard about forgiveness and i hope it ain't too late
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing

I sang to my children
Before they strayed so far
I sang for my lovers
Or a nickel in a tip jar
I never knew jesus
I never read the good book
But on my day of dying
I'm giving life a second look

Saint peter won't you open up the big white gate
Cause i heard about forgiveness and i hope it ain't too late
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing

It's coming on time now
My body's getting cold
I've got no will i've got no prayer
My story's all been told
I'm ready for the land of fire
But i'd love to see the land of gold
So nurse bring me my guitar
One more song before i go

Saint peter won't you open up the big white gate
Cause i heard about forgiveness and i hope it ain't too late
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing

grace potter and the nocturnals - can t see through

You told me everything that was on your mind
You brought the cold in from the outside
You brought a bottle with the smell of pine
And an aching heart and a box of wine

You always told me I was way too wild
And I always thought you were dangerously mild
Our souls my differ but I'm still beguiled
How can you be happy with only half a smile

Oh I can't forgive you
You cut me open wide and now I
I can't see through to the other side
No I can't see through to the other side

I always wondered, but never asked you why
Why you keep on living when you want to die
And you hold that bottle like a baby child
Maybe I'll join you for a little while

Oh I can't forgive you
You cut me open wide and now I
I can't see through to the other side
No I can't see through to the other side
No I can't see through to the other side
Oh I can't see through to the other side

So you hold your darkness and I'll hold my light
Everyone feels safe when they're holding tight
But I'm not quite broken but I'm not quite right
But I keep on going 'cause I think it's worth the fight
But I know I'll never see you after tonight

Oh and I forgive you
For all your sins and lies and I know I'll
I'll see you on the other side
Baby I'll see you on the other side
Oh I'll see you on the other side
Oh I'll see you on the other side

grace potter and the nocturnals - colors

You don't have to ask me why
Because I know you understand
All the treasures of my life
Are right here in my hand
Suspended in a moment
No more breath to catch
If you hold on to your end
Maybe we can make this last

This is the greatest time of day
When all the clocks are spinning backwards
And all the ropes that bind begin to fray
And all the black and white turns into colors

I don't want to build a wall
Or draw a line across the sand
Because there's room for one and all
And this land is our land
Oh I hope this can go on and on and on
Before the skipping stone hits the surface of the pond
Oh I know that life is never very long
One second, then one minute, and then it's gone

This is the greatest time of day
When all the clocks are spinning backwards
And all the ropes that bind begin to fray
And all the black and white turns into colors

You want to sink into the colors on the wall
But all the while you are the brightest of them all

This is the greatest time of day
When all the clocks are spinning backwards
And all the ropes that bind begin to fray
And all the black and white turns
This is the greatest time of day
When there's no you and there's no others
And all the rules grow wings and fly away
And all the black and white turns into colors

grace potter and the nocturnals - falling or flying

We got lost again
Drove to the end of a road
And a red aced man
Taught us to do what we're told
And on the 23rd night
Things ain't bad but things ain't right

Are we falling or flying
Are we falling or flying
Are we living or dying
I guess we'll never know

The air's so heavy
It could drown a butterfly
If it flew too high
And i get the feeling
That the truck driver ain't shy
Cause he's looking at me but nowhere near my eyes
And on the 35th morning
Things ain't good but things ain't boring

Are we falling or flying
Are we falling or flying
Are we living or dying
I guess we'll never know

Sometimes it's hard tot ell
If there's a life behind a song
But i know tomorrow
Today won't feel so long
Cause on the 42nd night
The room was dark but the stage was bright

Are we falling or flying
Are we falling or flying
Are we living or dying
Cause my friend this too shall pass
So play every show like it's your last

grace potter and the nocturnals - goodbye kiss

Verse 1
I lost a piece of my mind
And you can see it on my face
My heart is burning this time
But there aint no fire escape

Pre chorus
That little part of me that used to be so strong,
Is stumbling over now that I know you're moving on baby

Chorus
You were never gonna wait for me
Babe I really hate to say it,
But I'm gonna say it anyway

You, you know you're not the only one
I'd rather just cut and run
Than set the blind on yesterday
So lets just call this what it is
And give me one more goodbye kiss

Verse 2
I thought that you were the only one
Who could keep my feet on the ground
I came to an empty room
And I know you're leaving town

Pre Chorus
That little part of me, that's gone for good
That was the only thing making me do the things I should

Chorus
And you were never gonna wait for me
Babe I really hate to say it,
But I'm gonna say it anyway

You, you know you're not the only one
I'd rather just cut and run
Than set the blind on yesterday
So lets just call this what it is
And give me one more goodbye kiss

Bridge
Ooh you really, really made it hard on me
You really, really were a mystery
You really, really took it out on me baby
But now I've solved it and I'm sad to say I see

Chorus
That you were never gonna wait for me
Babe I really hate to say it,
But I'm gonna say it anyway

You, you know you're not the only one
I'd rather just cut and run
Than set the blind on yesterday
So lets just call this what it is
And give me one more goodbye kiss

grace potter and the nocturnals - here s to the meantime

You're running me ragged
I don't do the things i should
If the devil made a fire
You'd be the wood

I've just got one question
Answer me if you could
How can so much trouble
Look so god damn good?

Look at the way you've been living
Look at the love you should be giving
Look at what tomorrow left behind
Look at at all the life that you've been missing
Look at the girl you could be kissing
Look what happened in the meantime
Before i find you and kindly remind you

So come sit down beside me
With a dollar and a dime
And we'll drink away our fortunes
Here's to the meantime

Look at the way you've been living
Look at the love you should be giving
Look at what tomorrow left behind
Look at at all the life that you've been missing
Look at the girl you could be kissing
Look what happened in the meantime
Before i find you and kindly remind you

grace potter and the nocturnals - hot summer night

The mercury's rising
And there ain't no disguising
What you do do do do to me

It won't stop raining
And there ain't no explaining why I feel,
Feel, feel a warm summer breeze

Oh babe you make me feel like it's a
Hot summer night
Even though it's the middle of the winter
And it's really bad weather
It's a hot summer night
When I'm next to you, baby

The weather is frightful
But if you stay for the night
It'll be like a long, long, long day at the beach

Don't let it go to waste
Cause, baby just a taste
Would be sweeter, sweeter, sweeter
Than a Georgia peach

Oh babe you make me feel like it's a
Hot summer night
Even though it's the middle of the winter
And it's really bad weather
It's a hot summer night
When I'm next to you, baby

Oh it's a hot summer night
Even though it's the middle of the winter
And it's really bad weather
It's a hot summer night
When I'm next to you, baby

I took my temperature and told my brain to rearrange
Cause the thermometer was saying something very strange
Outside my window it was lookin like a winterland
But here inside, we were lovin' in the sand on a

Hot summer night
Even though it's the middle of the winter
And it's really bad weather
It's a hot summer night
When I'm next to you, baby, baby

It's a hot summer night
Even though it's the middle of the winter
And it's really bad weather
It's a hot summer night
When I'm next to you

It's a hot summer night
(Hot summer night)
Baby, it's a hot summer night
(Hot summer night)
It's a hot summer night
(Hot summer night)

grace potter and the nocturnals - joey

I come home from working hard
I pull up to my yard and there's a man I used to know
He used to love me right
But then we had a little fight and now he's on parole

Well he's lookin' mighty mean
He's like to cause a scene
So just hit reverse and oull out slow

And don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more

He wears his shirt untucked
He's got one eye covered up and he's got a big 'ol 44
He likes to drink 'til late, then he'll break down your gate and he'll throw you to the floor
When he looks me in the eye, he'll hit me 'till I cry, he's trying to get inside my door

But don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more

You can't even stomp and shout 'cause it's all over now and there ain't nothing left to say
But don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more

He saw me with another man, but he did not understand that I grew up with him in the same crib
Joey started flaming red, he didn't hear a word I said and now my brother's got a broken rib

Well, the judge and jury all agreed
That Joey did a dirty deed
And 50 years is what order said

But don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more

He didn't understand, the judge raised up his hand and said "You'd better leave that girl alone"
But don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more
No, don't pay no mind to Joe, 'cause Joey don't treat me good no more

He's a bad man, pay no mind , pay no mind
