josh rouse - 1972

1972 -

She was feeling nineteen seventy two
Grooving to a Carole King tune
Is it too late baby?
Is it too late?

That boy was always up to no good
Smoking pot and playing pool
In the afternoon
Unemployed and high

We're going through the changes
Hoping for a replacement
Untill we find a way out of this hole

Spanish girl with the tatoo
Working nights at the drive through
And she asks herself
Could this be all?

Screwing in a motel room
Watching news on channel two
Victoria tell me
Is this your dream?

We're going through the changes
Hoping for a replacement
Untill we find a way out of this

We're going through the changes
Hoping for a replacement
Untill we find a way out of this
A way out of this hole

josh rouse - a simple thing

Used to be the street on
Which you parked your car
Wonder where you live now
Wonder where you are

Redefine another
You seem to lose
Common thread that wound
From me to you

A side of me is forced
A side of me is changed
I've seen it all before
There's nothing new
Or strange to me

Funny how such a simple thing
Can separate a pair
Hop into your taxicab
As if you didn't care

You move around so much
You seem to lose
Common thread that wound
From me to you

A side of me is forced
A side of me is changed
I've seen it all before
There's nothing new
Or strange to me

Now the waiting part is over
Can't believe you're ten feet tall
Should have seen this from the shoulder
Should have known
Known it all

Here I sit
And I'm waiting
Yes I'm waiting

Here I sit
And I'm waiting
Waiting
For the answer
Yes I'm waiting for

josh rouse - a woman lost in serious problems

Flick your head and sighs but
So low you gotta get back up
And stay

Did you ever wonder why
I'm so concerned
With all the ways
He drags you down
Did you ever wonder why
I'm so concerned
With all the ways
And I'm thinking of a way to ease your mind some
I'm hoping for the day we'll build a home
So come

Think we're pulling it off some
It's slow but it's turning out
That way

Did you ever wonder why
I'm so concerned
With all the ways
He drags you down
Did you ever wonder why
I'm so concerned
With all the ways
And I'm thinking of a way to ease your mind some
I'm hoping for the day we'll build a home

josh rouse - carolina

Down in Tennessee
Sits a girl alone
She sings along with her favorite songs on the radio

Only friends she sees
Are on TV
Magazine and movie stars are her only family
Yeah they're all she needs

Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside

In the Nashville sky
Shines a diamond bright
Carolina says it's for the boys after midnight
She drifts off to sleep
And in her dreams
She lives in California in a mansion by the sea
Yeah that's who she could be

Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside

Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
She keeps frowning inside

And then she wakes to find out
Her dream is real (It's real)
It's real (It's real)
It's real (It's real)
It's real

Carolina's so
Happy on the outside
And now she's smiling inside

Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside (Inside)
Smiling inside

josh rouse - christmas with jesus

And my conscience
Has it
Stripped down to a science
Why does everything
Displease me
Still I'm trying
And it's so very hard
To ask for a part
In your Christmas
And getting in
Is easy when you're
Friends with Jesus
With Jesus
With Jesus
With Jesus

He's coming
Inside me
Without reason
As I sit here
Waiting
For His signal

And I ask of the Lord
To spare me His sword
Of forgiveness
Cause it's so very hard
To ask for a part
In your Christmas
With Jesus

josh rouse - come back

I've been waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back
Maybe if the sun would shine
It'd bring my happy back

In the dark
So tired of waking up and its dark
So tired of being stuck on my own here
Norway is cold dear

And here comes june
The sun is gonna shine in june
The doctor says I'll feel better soon
Fills my vitamin D pills
He hands me the big bill

Cause I've been waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back
Maybe if the sun would shine
You'd bring my happy back

I'm gonna stay on this mountain high
Til you come running back
Don't leave me hangin' out on that line
I want you to come back
I want you to come back

I miss my serotonin
And my days are goin nowhere fast
The language is so foreign
And I can never understand
Understand

Come back (x 11)

Yeah cause I've been waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back
Maybe if the sun would shine
You'd bring my happy back

I'm gonna stay on this mountain high
Til you come running back
Don't leave me hanging out on that line
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
I want you to come back
Yeah

Waiting for the longest time

Waiting for the longest time
I want you to come back

josh rouse - directions

Vanilla Sky
soundtrack lyrics

Josh Rouse - Directions
Don't like the direction you are going to
Seems to lack the attention, that it used to
Stay out all night and get high with your friends
Wonder why you don't get one thing done
Don't like the direction you are going to

Don't like the direction you have come to
Now it has the attention that it used to
Stay home all night with the TV and wife
Comfortable life's not all it's cracked up to be
Don't like the direction you have come to

It's easy to get caught and the weight of the world
It's falling on your face, so unsure that you would

josh rouse - domesticated lovers

Domesticated lover
Domesticated lovers
Never know they'll find
Domesticated lovers
Say there'll be last time

Early in the morning
Till the late, late night
There's no doubt
They lead a life apart

Domesticated lovers
Breaking each other's hearts
Domesticated lovers

She don't understand him
He can't do nothing right
He's all day sleeping
He sleeps until the night

She takes the car every morning
He don't like to drive
She works hard, she brings the money home

Domesticated lovers
Throwing the dog all the bone
Domesticated lovers
Living a life all alone

They go out to a restaurant
They don't talk
About the things that happened that day
Or the new hairdo she's got

Can you tell me mama
Are we doing alright ?
Can you tell me mama
Will we make it through this fight?

From early in the morning
Till the late, late night
There's no doubt
They lead a life apart

Domesticated lovers
Breaking each other's hearts
Domesticated lovers
Breaking each other's, another's hearts

josh rouse - dressed up like nebraska

Trying to tell me something here
In this place
All of your demons rest
In my space
I dreamed last night
You and i were there
Old and gray
Holding tight
You were always so
Cold
But i can't touch you where you are
There you stood dressed up like nebraska
Plain as day
It's being in the dark that makes me so
Paranoid
It's the feeling of a sort that just won't
Stay inclined enough
I could see your eyes tonight
Somehow try to set it right
I could change your mind to see this.
But i can't touch you where you are
There you stood dressed up like nebraska
Plain as day
I can't touch you where you are
There you stood dressed up like nebraska

josh rouse - ears to the ground

Ears to the ground
Ears to the ground
Just waiting for the sound
Of footsteps
Wheels to the road
Wheels to the road
Hoping this will be
My last stop

Abuse my heart
For it's all I've left
Leading me on
This is what I get

Just waiting for the sound
Of footsteps

I've given all
Everything is spent
Hang up a sign reading
Room for rent

Just waiting for the sound
Of footsteps

Waiting for the sound

Wheels to the road
Wheels to the road
Hoping this will be
My last stop

Ears to the ground
Ears to the ground
Just waiting for the sound

josh rouse - el otro lado

You called me up this evening
Cause you wanted to know what's going on

You give me ultimatums
Cause you don't want to feel you are alone

And I tell you that some folks don't evolve
They're content with what they've got
They just sit back and they watch TV

I talked about September.
Fought about your taste you were on mine
What did you mean anyhow
When you said I'm lost, but there's still time

And I tell you that some folks don't evolve
They're content with what they've got
They just sit back and they watch TV
And I tell you that some folks don't evolve
They're content with what they've got
They just sit back and they watch TV
But that's not me.

One day, you come around to see the other side of things.
One day, you come around to see the other side of things
Yes you will.
You'll come around to see the other side of things
You'll come around to see the other side of things.

josh rouse - feeling no pain

Ooh
Ooh

Drive, in a slow right lane
'Cause we got some time to kill
You know I love this time of year
And you're a strange, strange find
I wanna take all I can from you
Just gimme a sign and I'll be right at your side

'Cause lately I've been feeling no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow everything
Falls into place, and it's love

Words, words that don't come out
If I'm confusing you,
I'm just here to clean your doubts
And I'm in a cloud,
Tell you I don't need any room to breathe
Tell you I'll see you laid out, see you laid out
Sleepin on the couch

'Cause baby
Lately I've been feeling no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow everything
Falls into place, and it's love
And lately I've been feeling no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow everything
Falls into place, and it's love
And it's...love

Ooh
Ooh

And I will find a way
To bring the life back to you day
And I will show you,
I will show you that I can change

Lately I've been feeling no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow everything
Falls into place, and it's love
And lately I've been feeling no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow everything
Falls into place, and it's love

And it's...Love

josh rouse - flair

You want me to, I will
The older I get, I spill blame
And I lived there six months
The past is all I'm driven for
I'm driven for

And I can't recall a name
Faces are the same to me
The same you see
And I would fake it for you
There's no where near the truth to say
The truth to say

Silly simple lies
They made a human being
Out of you
And I can sympathize
I've always been the one that's there with you
Don't
Lose that
Flair
Don't (and I can sympathize)
Lose that (I've always been the one that's there)
Flair (for you)
If you want me to, I will (flair)
Flair
Flair
Flair
Want me to

josh rouse - flight attendant

When I was
A little baby
A mama's boy
No one could save me
From those kids at school

They would bully
They would tease
They would taunt me
Haunt me

'You're such a pretty boy'
'You're such a pretty boy'
'You're such a pretty boy'
'You're such a pretty boy'

Fear
I grew up so scared
The bible belt
Redneck lifestyle
One day I'll fly free

In the airplane
'Where's my seat?
Where's my champagne?'
Champagne

I'm such a pretty boy
I'm such a pretty boy
I'm such a pretty boy
I'm such a pretty boy

Heaven knows the lengths I go to please them every day
They dont even notice when I'm
Down

Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy
Such a pretty boy

Hotels were closed
And the airport was clean
I was stranded alone
In my southwest dream

Hotels were closed
And the airport was clean
I was stranded alone
In my southwest dream

josh rouse - givin it up

Can you guess how much one man can sit and drink in one night?
But don't look so surprised
Because this is a world where no one feels sorry for you, man
In my drunken state I claim that

I'm giving it up for good
Gotta tell you dear, that was a bad time
I was on the ground crawling on all fours

Woke up the next day and I didn't feel so good
I don't know why I do this to myself
Pack up the car and put me in a hospital bed
Because I need some help to change

And I'm giving it up for good
Gotta tell you dear, that was a bad time
I was on the ground crawling on all fours

Yeah I'm giving it up for good
Gotta tell you dear, I got a bad time
But I'll be coming around knocking on your door

There were far too many lies
I was way out of line
This silly little boy, such a shame
I hope you're happy about the way that things worked out for me
Cause I feel better now, yeah I'm much happier now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeaaah

There were far too many lies
I was way out of line
This silly little boy, such a shame
And I hope you're happy about the way that things worked out for me
Cause I feel better now, yeah I'm much happier now

And I'm giving it up for good
Gotta tell you dear, that was a bad time
I was on the ground crawling on all fours

Yeah I'm giving it up for good
Gotta tell you dear, I got a bad time
But I'll be coming around knocking on your door
I'll be coming around knocking on your door
I'll be coming around crawling on all fours
