Sherwood Album

Years spent out in the rain
Thrown in the mud
Come dry us again
We've got nothing to show
Nowhere to go
Give shelter again

Oh, throats are dry
Let us sing, oh
Bones are cold
Bring us heat, oh
Mountains high
Let us dream, oh
Call us homeward again

Waiting for a sign, I used to search with every step
And even as a boy, so many things I can't forget
So if I made a list of everyone I've kissed
What would that accomplish?

I've heard it's said that I won't take a chance
But everything I've held slipped through my hands

Have I gone blind?
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
You'll give it a try
Maybe this time
Maybe this time

And now I know myself a little more and I confess
That even as a man, that I fear would get the best of me
So if I made a list of every chance I've missed
What would that accomplish?

Now I've been making eyes at you all night
Trying to decide what's on your mind

What's on your mind?
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
You'll give it a try
Maybe this time
Maybe this time

I saw the night, turn into day
I saw the sun show his tired face
Shine in to me, shine on to mine
Come see the tree shadows hang and cry
Hello

What's on your mind?
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
You'll give it a try
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
You'll give it a try
Maybe this time

She works the night shift for day wage
Oh it can feel like forever
New ways to outline an old face
Oh it can feel like forever
She fights the daylight with heavier shades
It feels like forever and

Oh, the stories you could tell
If you didn't hide it all so well
Hit the bottom
You hit the bottom again

His clock is flashing the same score
Oh it can feel like forever
The front yard spills through the front door
Oh it can feel like forever
In a house he knows that he can't afford
It feels like forever and

Oh, the stories you could tell
If you didn't hide it all so well
Hit the bottom
You hit the bottom again
Don't you remember when
The fire in your eye
Could burn right through the night
Hit the bottom
You hit the bottom again

And if you see me dragging my feet outside your window
I'm just hoping that I might feel the wind blow

We've lost our sense of direction
Oh it can feel like forever
Those days of great recollection
Oh it can feel like forever
But it's not the end, no it's only begun
To feel like forever and

Oh, the stories you could tell
If you didn't hide it all so well
Hit the bottom
You hit the bottom again
Don't you remember when
The fire in your eyes
Could burn right through the night
Hit the bottom
You hit the bottom again
You hit the bottom again

I know exactly where you are
So I don't strain to see your light shine in the dark
But I didn't know, the winter cold would leave us moving so slow
And will summer bring the feeling back to our toes?
Until it does can I just make it through?

Cause I don't know where I've gone wrong
And I can't find where I belong without you
Make it through
Cause I don't know where I've gone wrong
And I can't find where I belong without you

I'll weave the roads on every map
Into a cord that wraps you up and pulls you back
Cause I didn't know, the winter cold would leave us moving so slow
And will summer bring the feeling back to our toes?
Until it does can I just make it through?

Cause I don't know where I've gone wrong
And I can't find where I belong without you
Make it through
Cause I don't know where I've gone wrong
And I can't find where I belong
Oh I can't find where I belong, without you

[No lyrics]

I saw the light dance on your face
Paint the shadows of your shape
Back when the season made the days so long

And if I knew my time would come
With the lines rehearsed but never sung
I'd leave the chorus on your tongue
I swear

Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
Every second takes a thousand days away from me
And if i close my eyes
I hear the gates swing wide
And by the morning light
I will have seen both sides

I've got a funny feeling that it's my day to leave
Shoulders down the sweat drips across my cheek
As I turn I can taste the salt in the shallow sea
I feel their hearts beating next to me
I hear the chatter of my teeth

And I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
The final thrill, the quiet spill, the vile retreat
Do you see the waves running away from me?
You taste the cold here in the air i breathe
Why'd you let me go? 'Cause I can no longer see

And I scream
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god

Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
Every second takes a thousand days away from me
If I close my eyes
I hear the gates swing wide
And by the morning light
I will have seen both sides
So why'd you let me go?
I can no longer see
And I can't breathe

I'm on the way home
I'm on the way home to you
So take off your makeup
Take off your makeup with you

'Cause we're gonna wake up
We're gonna wake up
The night is strange and new
'Cause love is soaking through

I wanna wake up
I wanna wake up to you
I wanna wake up
I wanna wake up to you

'Cause we're gonna wake up
We're gonna wake up
The night is strange and new
'Cause love is soaking through

And in a daze I'll run to you
And I will throw my arms around you

I'll throw (I'll throw my arms)
My arms
I'll throw (I'll throw my arms)
My arms
I'll throw (I'll throw my arms)
My arms around you

I want to move to a bigger city
I want to live in a smaller town
I want to make up my mind so I can stop moving around
So let's hitch a ride out of California
And find some place where we can breathe
Where I can line up my thoughts in order
Of when they came to me

And you'll say
"Yeah, what are you waiting for?
You can leave anytime that you want
Yeah, are you waiting for something more
to pull your face from the floor tonight?"
Yeah, what are you waiting for?
You can leave anytime that you want
Yeah, are you waiting for something more
to pull your face from the floor tonight?

Paper walls in a stale apartment
Spilling thoughts on a crowded street
In one voice I can hear them asking, "what's become of me?"

And you'll say
"Yeah, what are you waiting for?
You can leave anytime that you want
Yeah, are you waiting for something more
to pull your face from the floor tonight?"
Yeah, what are you waiting for?
You can leave anytime that you want
Yeah, are you waiting for something more
to pull your face from the floor tonight?

My face on the floor
My face on the floor

Yeah, what are you waiting for?
You can leave anytime that you want
Yeah, are you waiting for something more
to pull your face from the floor?
Yeah, what are you waiting for?
You can leave anytime that you want
Yeah, are you waiting for something more
to pull your face from the floor tonight?

Hey!

I am the favorite
In a fight that I can't win
So every morning
I take another on my chin

But I never know, I never know, I never know the round I'm in, yeah

So I'm not gonna love when I know what I've given up
Not gonna love when I know what I've given up
Windows open
Daylight broken
And I'm not gonna love when I know what I've given up

Could be a warning
Could be the evidence of grace
Could be a cold night
Could be a right hook in the face

And I don't deserve, I don't deserve, I don't deserve to call this place my home
And I'm getting tired, I'm getting tired of lying down instead of standing on my own

But I'm not gonna love when I know what I've given up
Not gonna love when I know what I've given up
Long night, cold room
Hold tight, blue moon
And I'm not gonna love when I know what I've given

Hey!
There's something on my mind
Something I've been dying to say
Hey!
When you've lost so many times
The old familiar lines start to fade

But I'm not gonna love when I know what I've given up
Not gonna love when I know what I've given up
Long night, cold room
Hold tight, blue moon
And I'm not gonna love when I know what I've given up

(Windows open)
(Daylight broken)
(Windows open)
(And I'm not gonna love when I know what I've given up)

(Windows, cold room)
(Hold tight, blue moon)
(Long night, blue moon)
(And I'm not gonna love when I know what I've given up)

Somedays the most that you hoped you do
Is step in your leather shoes
And make your way around the block
Days that tired mother of ours
And living has made her sad
How she wishes she could stop the clock

And so, I'm told, I wear, and I'm worn
Come clean, come clean, come near, come home
Come home

You always come home to those empty rooms
And wonder what's left to lose
Folding sheets cause you can never stop
Days that tired mother of ours
And living has made her sad
How she wishes she could stop the clock

And so, I'm told, I wear, and I'm worn
Come clean, come clean, come near, come home
Come home

And so, I'm told, I wear, and I'm worn
Come clean, come clean, come near, come home
Come home

Something's wrong
Wrapped up in mourning for far too long
Sunken eyes tracing the pavement and crooked lines
Paint us with crosses and sleepless night

And hope to be free
We just want to be free
Hope to be free
Who's gonna set us free?

Overgrown
All our mistakes are deceives we've sewn
Is it time? I saw the stones rolling back their eyes
Holding their breath until they see the light

It ought to be free
We just want to be free
We just want to be free
Who's gonna set us free?

With our golden hair in silent sway
We'll be home when brother finds his way
With our golden hair in silent sway
We'll be home when brother finds his way
With our golden hair in silent sway
We'll be home when brother finds his way

With our golden hair in silent sway
We'll be home when brother finds his way
With our golden hair in silent sway
We'll be home when brother finds his way

I could've seen it all coming I guess
I'm sleeping out on the couch
You in your half of the bed
And every detail will swim in my mind
The tap of his shoes
The clock clicking the time, oh oh

The tile is cold and the bathroom sink
Will split the days of the week between your father and me
The words burn climbing up my throat
Craving some better place to go

So this is how every family is
You'll make some dinner then you'll stay with a friend

A black cloud hangs over our house
You're no better, I know you're no better than this
So give up and let it rain down
You're no better, I know you're no better than this

I'm so tired I can hardly make a fist
The whole room is a thirst without a fix

A black cloud hangs over our house
You're no better, I know you're no better than this
So give up and let it rain down
You're no better, I know you're no better
And all your failed attempts are hanging over the edge of your father's fence
And oh, you give up so we can fall down
You're no better, you know you're no better than him

And all of your failed attempts are hanging over the edge of your father's fence
And oh, you give up so we can fall down
You're no better, you know you're no better than him
