[Verse 1] Thousand feet above the ground Lookin' o'er a postcard town As one-by-one lights go out in Brooklyn Looks like the stars have all fell down Spread themselves across the ground Like a farmer sowin' seed in the spring-time [Verse 2] Taxi rides just after dark Those eyes could'a lit up Central Park Then kiss like you see in the movies Wore...Learn More

[Verse 1] Your favorite time of year was late October The way the leaves changed color in the fall And ever since that day you said it was over This house ain't a home and this heart's a hole in the wall [Chorus] And I don't think you understand How you ripped my world apart And no girl out there will ever compare You're the best at breakin' my...Learn More

[Verse 1] Open your mouth, you're tellin' a lie Open your mouth, you're tellin' a lie If the good life's what you're seekin' I worked two jobs in a weekend to get by, that ain't no lie And if the money's what you're testin' Honey, you are messin' with the wrong guy [Verse 2] Open your mouth, you're tellin' a lie Open your mouth, you're tellin' a...Learn More

[Verse 1] Well it's been two weeks and three days Since my eyes have seen the glory of your face But your voice and drug of choice are in this place Your words are my Amazing Grace [Chorus] Well honey you spin me around Pick me up when I fall to the ground Help me swim when I thought for sure I'd drown You're the only reason I come around this...Learn More

[Verse 1] Well her mother came and packed her bags and drove her off to nowhere In the shadows of her second father's shoulders she just stood there Cryin', cryin' [Verse 2] Then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue like war-bound soldiers marchin' She ran from the truth like wounded men run from the darkness When they're dyin', she's...Learn More
