Seabird Album

We've all seen way too much
But we can't look away from the sun
A silhouette was burned in our minds
It's gonna take so much time
To forget what we've seen, who we met, where we been

Cause we're black and blue, yeah
We're black and blue, yeah
We're stuck on you, yeah
Yeah we're stuck

So quickly came there to
And we were stronger than they knew
So put the stake on your right
It's much better for you than ice
It's you brand wear it right

Cause we're black and blue
Yeah we're black and blue
Yeah we're stuck on you

Get up, get up
Stand up on your feet
Get up, get up
Don't accept this defeat
Ohh...

Get up, get up
Stand up on your two feet
Come on get up, please don't give up
Don't accept this defeat
Ohh..

The ghosts in my room wanted to scare me so badly
The notion to move your head doesn't work when you're stuck to the bed
No, doesn't work when you're stuck to the bed

And they all knew that I bought this house
I paid with my own blood and sweat
And who's gonna drive me out?
Those apparitions in the corner, I'll bet
Those apparitions in the corner, I'll bet

So, bring it on. And, bring it on

So, bring it on. BRING IT ON

And don't you think you can bring those kids in this house
Don't walk away from me, don't put words in my mouth
If you use that kind of language in here, out you go
If you smoke that cigarette in here, out you go

Well, you thought you could get away with it this time around
Thought you could walk in at 4 A.M. without making a sound
Well, we don't really care what they think about our stupid songs
We just hope by the end that you'll all be singing along

At arm's length, you held your spouse and children.
Your lack of grace so nearly killed them.
Forgiveness still breathes, he may not wake for years.
He promised me still this won't end in tears.

'Cause we're not alone,
No, we're not alone now, honey.
Save your own 'cause we're not alone.

Back home to find the garden as you left it.
Roses in full bloom, so glad you invested.
So you found, this room couldn't hold you down.
Stepped through these walls and listened for the sound.

Not alone, no we're not alone now, honey.
Save your own, 'cause we're not alone.
Not alone, no we're not alone now, honey.
We'll make it home 'cause we're not alone.

Hold us close, it meant so much.
Maybe more than you knew.
Laugh a while, burn like fire.
Love us again just like you used to.

Sing so loud, make us proud.
Please say just what you heard.
Listen closer, hold your tongue.
Your tired eyes speak louder than words.
Speak louder than words, come on.

Not alone, no we're not alone now, honey.
Save your own 'cause we're not alone
Not alone, no we're not alone now, honey
We'll make it home 'cause we're not alone.
Not alone, no we're not alone now, honey.
Save your own 'cause we're not alone.

No, not alone, no we're not alone now, honey.
We'll make it home 'cause we're not alone.

I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm drowning, but nobody knows it
I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm dying, just want you to notice

Somehow the grave has captured me
Show me the man I used to be
Just when I feel my breath is running out

The earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
Broken and empty, but you don't care
'Cause you are my rapture, you are my savior
When all my hope is gone, I reach for you
You are my rescue
You are my rescue

I'm swimming to safety, but even with my best
If I don't see that rope soon, this might be my last breath

Somehow the grave has captured me
Show me the man I used to be
Just when I feel my breath is running out

The earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
Broken and empty, but you don't care
'Cause you are my rapture, you are my savior
When all my hope is gone, I reach for you
You are my rescue

Don't let me drown
Can you hear me
'Cause I am
"Drawlin out" (not sure)
I'm underground
Won't you pull me out

The earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
Broken and empty, but you don't care
Because you are my rapture, you are my savior
When all my hope is gone, I reach for you
You are my rescue
You are my rescue
Yeah, you are my rescue
Yeah! You are my rescue

I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm dying, just want you to notice...

We used up all we had
Deviated from the plan
And things weren't working out as we all hoped
The timing was right
But it all ended with a fight
The band wanted out and so did I

Just let me go on
Just give me one more song
If it sucks we all go home
If not we sing along

We went our separate ways
And didn't see each other for days
It was clear that this just wasn't meant to be
We started out as friends
And then the seas started to sink in
And now we know why they call it the bitter end

Just let me go on
Just give me one more song
If it sucks we all go home
If not we sing along

Just give me one more night
I swear I'll make it right
If it hurts me I'll go home
If not we get along

Let me go on and on and on and on
Let me go on and on and on and on
Let me go on and on and on and on
Let me go on and on and on and on

Just give me one more night
I swear I'll make it right
If it hurts me I'll go home
If not we get along

I won't say this lying down
Gotta get you out of this town
If it hurts me I'll go home
If not we get along

Ladala-ladala-ladala

Let me go on and on and on and on
Let me go on and on and on and on
Let me go on and on and on and on
Let me go on and on and on and on

Well, she sings her song with beautiful grace
She turns around and you see her face
But you can't move and you can't breathe
You just stand and dream of her

'Cause tonight, she's so much stronger than before
You can't ignore her tonight
And her eyes are shining like the moon
You gotta tell her soon

Well, sixteen years, they came and went
My love was strong, but couldn't be bent
But the only thing that would bring a song
Was the love we stole so long ago

'Cause tonight, she's so much stronger than before
You can't ignore her tonight
And her eyes are shining like the moon
You gotta tell her soon
And you waited your life for this moment
She asks for your heart, now you've shown it

So hold, hold on to me
And run, run back to me

'Cause tonight, she is so much stronger than before
You can't ignore her tonight (She is so much stronger)

The days you said you were smarter, knew you were harder
They're over
And the days you told us to grow up, told us to shut up
They're over
But I promise the words that you said, stuck in our heads
They'll come back to haunt you, to taunt you
Keep you from sleeping, keep you from eating
I promise

And at times you made us look stupid, made us feel useless
They're over
And the days you told us to sit out, told us to get out
They're over
But I promise the words that you said, stuck in our heads
They'll come back to haunt you, to taunt you
Keep you from sleeping, keep you from eating
Yeah, I promise
Oh, I promise
For this down on my life I promise

We hate to see you go
But now it's time to let you know
That shouting never wins, and losing you never felt so good
And so it should, yeah we knew it would
The stars in the sky are about to cry
We hate to see you go
But now it's time to let you know
That shouting never wins, and losing you never felt so good
Oh baby
And so it should, yeah we knew it would
The stars in the sky are about to make us liars
Ohh...
Yeahh...

So be patient, patient, when waiting for the gold
And wait only as long as you have to
Don't wait 'til you're too old
'Cause I stood outside so long
And I stood 'til the bark on every tree was gone

So come on home tonight,
And fight for what you know
And say what you think,
But please say it in love
If you follow the crowd,
Just promise me one thing
Please know your heart before you begin to sing

'Cause I'm on my way back home
And I found that the story was true all along

'Cause I'm on my way back home
And I found that the story was true all along
Won't you get, won't you get through to me!
And the sound of your voice was the
one that carried me

Oh, the sound is breaking all my bones
Won't you sing again, I love it
The fight for me life is knocking at my front door
Won't you let him in this time
And won't you let him in this time

Sometimes it's alright to just be alone
Sometimes it's alright to just stay at home
Sometimes it's ok if we lose our minds
Sometimes it's the only way out of a fight

So maybe we'll fall before we take flight
Maybe you're all I've got to lose
And they say it's gray, but we see it white
And if I'm lost, thank God I'm lost with you

And sometimes there's only so much we can take
And by the time you arrived, we needed a break
Sometimes it's ok if we lose our minds
Sometimes it's the only way out of a fight

So maybe we'll fall before we take flight
Maybe you're all I've got to lose
And they say it's gray, but we see it white
And if I'm lost, thank God I'm lost with you

It's ok to fight back, it's alright if you lose
It's ok to give up, we'll still love you if you do

So maybe we'll fall before we take flight
Maybe you're all I've got to lose
And they say it's gray, but we see it white
And if I'm lost, thank God I'm lost with you

It's ok if you fight back, it's alright if you lose
It's ok to give up, we'll still love you if you do

I hope this song will find you awake
'Cause what I need to say can't wait
I've loved you since we were just babes
The world can try but we can't change

'Cause I'm fallin', fallin' for you
Oh darling, it's finally true

I hope this song brings you back to life
'Cause I can see the fear in those eyes
I promise you if we just try
We'll take this wrong and make it right

'Cause I'm fallin', fallin' for you
Oh darling, it's finally true
And someday, I'll break your fall too
'Cause I'm falling, falling for you

'Cause I'm fallin', fallin' for you
Oh darling, it's finally true
And I won't let your heart turn to stone
'Cause when I found you, my heart found a home
When I found you, my heart found a home

Love isn't always the way to a place we all know
Making up for lost time can be hard

You know this girl named Maggie Mahoney
Stole the dance and left me so lonely
Maggie please just give me a chance tonight
Swing you, sway you out on the dance floor
Your crooked smile making me laugh more
Maggie please just act like you care tonight

And if it's love you think I came here for
Well you're wrong
Maggie you're wrong
'Cause it's just one dance I've wanted for so long
Maggie so long

You know this girl named Phoney Mahoney
Stole the dance and left me so lonely
Maggie, please just act like you care tonight
Swing you, sway you out on the dance floor
Your crooked smile making me laugh more
Maggie please just give me a chance tonight

If it's love you think I came here for
Well you're wrong
Maggie you're wrong
'Cause it's just one dance I've wanted for so long
Maggie so long

Maggie stay home
'Cause we all know your old tricks
Maggie listen close
'Cause the sound makes us sick

And if it's love you think I came here for
Well you're wrong
Maggie you're wrong
'Cause it's just one dance I've wanted for so long
Maggie so long

If it's a second chance you're looking for
Well I'm gone
Maggie so long

I promise with my life, I will bite my tongue
And I won't say a word,
'til all the listening is done
And hold onto these memories,
the ones that drive you away

Sing 'til your heart hurts, then sing some more
Don't stop singing 'til we see the shore
Sing it loud and clear, 'cause I promise you
Someone will hear you sing

I promise with my life, I will bite my tongue
And I won't say a word,
'til all the listening is done
And hold onto these memories,
the ones that drive you away

Sing 'til your heart hurts, then sing some more
Don't stop singing 'til we see the shore
Sing it loud and clear, 'cause I promise you
That someone will hear you sing

Sing it without the fear, 'cause I promise you
The whole world will hear you sing

Sing 'til your heart hurts, and then sing some more
Don't stop singing 'til we see the shore
Sing it loud and clear, 'cause I promise you
The whole world will hear you sing

Sing 'til your heart hurts, then sing some more
Don't stop singing 'til we see the shore
