Shelby Lynne Album

I've been wanting to talk to you
Got some questions on my mind
I feel like you have gone away
Can't find you
I wonder where your head has been
Just want to be near you again
Feel like you are hiding from me
Gotta find you
Babe let go of all your troubles
Let me hold you like no other
I'm your daddy
I'm your mother
Trust me
Forget the past we are the future
Together we're the perfect picture
I'm your cover
I'm your lover
Trust me
Forever since you let me touch you
Did you forget how much I love you
Don't you know how bad I want you
Remember
Take a step back in my eyes
When we took up each other's time
With you in me I feel alive
You're my everything
Babe let go of all your troubles
Let me hold you like no other
I'm your daddy
I'm your mother
Trust me
Forget the past we are the future
Together we're the perfect picture
I'm your cover
I'm your lover

Here's your invitation
For your consideration
Nothins' easy
We'll go slow
And I'll never ask for anything more
Than you can give me in return
We'll never know for sure
What we will find if we don't try
On the other side
Oh we'll take our time
Bend just a little bit break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit get rid of it
Bend just a little bit break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit, I won't let you fall
Let's have a conversation
Talk about our situation
Embrace the night, don't let go
No one else has to know
Understand a little more
What feelin' somebody is good for
Stay with me the whole night through
There's nothin' good as lovin' you
When daylight breaks I'll love you more
Than I did before
All you gotta know is
Bend just a little bit break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit get rid of it
Bend just a little bit break just a little bit
Bend just a little bit, I won't let you fall
There's no expectations
Just give into temptation
Don't be afraid if you need to cry
I got enough love to get you by

I was on my way to somewhere to the Mexicali sand
A man sat down beside me, he had scars upon his hands
He told me some stories - I told him some lies
Light shone through my darkness, cast shadows from my mind
His eyes they looked right through me
Oh I knew he carried weight 
Something real was going down that day
Oh I told him I'm a sinner
He said that's o.k.
I'm not here to change you anyway
He was gone when I turned around
Was it Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound
Oh we talked about the world gone bad
The troubles we had seen 
We talked about the dirt
Brown shoes he wore on his feet 
He said I'm tired and weary 
I've been riding a long way 
Let me rest my eyes now 
Let me drift away 
He acted Like he knew me 
Then he fell asleep 
I had no More secrets 
I could keep
Oh I told him I'm a sinner
He said that's o.k.
I'm not here to change you anyway
He was gone when I turned around
Was it Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound
Somewhere in the sunlit mornin'
I stepped off the bus in the
Middle of the city of angels
And that long haired hippie was up
And gone where devils run and play and lust 
Lookin for the danger 
Oh and I looked at my feet and
Saw the shoes that he had worn and
Thank God for that beautiful stranger
Was that Jesus
Was that Jesus 
Was that Jesus
Oh I told him I'm a sinner
He said that's o.k.
I'm not here to change you anyway
He was gone when I turned around
Was it Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound
And I'll rise again
Ain't no power on earth can keep me down
And I'll rise, I'll rise again
Oh ain't no death can keep me in the ground

I feel your pain
I feel the rain
What happened to you
I can't get to you
Cause there's a wall
In your heart
That no one can get through
And it's cold and it's dark
And you don't have a clue
But this wall it will fall
If it's the last thing I do
I'll get through this wall in your heart
I know your soul
I know I'm home
Just come here to me
I'll let you run through me
Cause there's a wall
In your heart
That no one can get through
And it's cold and it's dark
And you don't have a clue
But this wall it will fall
If it's the last thing I do
I'll get through this wall in your heart
We'll break down all the troubles we have found
And I'll find a way to mend your broken pieces
We'll hold hands and be friends
Until the end and our love will be forever
But there's a wall
In your heart
That no one can get through
And it's cold and it's dark
And you don't have a clue
But this wall it will fall
If it's the last thing I do

Roses are red......
Always tryin to get ahead
Next thing you know ya dead
I used to think I could never
Make it without you
Then I was watchin your eyes
I say now ain't it - oh
Ain't it the truth
Don't you know about it - Ain't it the truth
I was tattered and torn up
Never really felt brought up
Oh you told me it was o.k. to be
On my own
So I ran with the freedom
That you gave me
I say now ain't it - oh
Ain't it the truth
Don't you know about it - Ain't it the truth
I remember when you told me I was
Pretty amazing
I remember telling you, that you were crazy
Oh we were so under, overtime - 

Looking at the face of the one and only
Hoping just to find a loner's prayer
Hooking into feelings of the lonely
Groping in the emptiness of there
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they love me
I can't wait
I can't wait
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they want me
I can't wait another day
I can't wait
Fallen into circles of the colors
Wading in the fire that feels like pools
Wanting needing feeling one another
Never ending motionless and cool
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they love me
I can't wait
I can't wait
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they want me
I can't wait another day
I can't wait
By myself an aching for the morrow
Be still in the move or come too soon
Watching clocks and promise takes me under
Bide my time as wishes disappear
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they love me
I can't wait
I can't wait
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they want me
I can't wait another day

Wisdom abundant
Outlets are few
Driving like crazy
Can't break through
Your body's a brick
The demons are calling
You must be
Tarpoleon Napoleon
So full of mystery
Open as a wound
Didn't know the world
Could be so cruel
Seeing the image
The mirror is holding
You're the real deal
Tarpoleon Napoleon
Strongest arms
That God gave a man
Embrace all the empty
Do what you can
Your heads in flames
Your brains are smoldering
You know it all my friend
Tarpoleon Napoleon
You keep on stepping up
Can't get ahead
Rise in the early
Collapse out of bed
Hoping you'll pick it up
The pace that you dread
Speed just ain't fast enough

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings
It was so careless of me
I guess I've gone and done it
It's just a matter of time
Nothin' I can do but tell you I'm sorry
And that's the hardest part of all

'Cause your love's the killin' kind
Your love's the killin' kind

I'd rather walk on glass
Than see teardrops in your eyes
And I'd fall to pieces just to hold you
The best thing in my life
It's just luck I get to love you
You're the one thing that's right
You're the light in my hell, darlin'

'Cause your love's the killin' kind
Your love's the killin' kind
Oh, yeah

I, I just might cry now
Die, lay down and die now
Why, 'cause you've done it to me
You're puttin' me under

I close my eyes and I sit under the sky
I love you and all it's pleasure
Baby, it feels so right
My arms won't be any use at all
If I can't hold you

'Cause your love's the killin' kind (killin' kind)
Your love's the killin' kind (killin' kind)
Your love's the killin' kind (killin' kind)
Your love's the killin' kind (killin' kind)
Oh, yeah

I'd die, baby
Ooh, I'd die for your darlin'
Just want to say I'm sorry
Oh, I'd do anything

We used to talk a lot and walk in flowers
We used to run and hear each other's voice
I would see you and you were pretty
Shut out the world and all the noise
When you were laughin' I loved to look at you
How you were overjoyed, it made me cry
I held your head as you were goin under
Saw you get lost in all your dreams
You amazed me with your ways
Just to feel you made me crazy
No matter how I got off track
You found a way to get me back
Saved me from my darkest hour
Never could deny your power
Holdin' time, life stood still
Everything was happy ending
Then you were gone 
Then you were gone
Regret is lonely gains me nothin
The pictures in my mind are so clear
I feel your heart but my soul is hungry
I miss your body, want you near
Don't know the answer why you are missing
My void is deep and I can't find my way
You are all I feel and words don't justify

Mother you had me
But I never had you
I wanted you
But you didn't want me
So I got to tell you
Goodbye
Goodbye
Father you left me
But I never left you
I needed you
But you didn't need me
So I just got to tell you
Goodbye
Goodbye
Children don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk and I tried to run
So I got to tell you
Goodbye
Goodbye
Mama don't go
