BO BOTTOMS

I was sittin' on the front porch wishin' you were comin' home

Even though you broke bones deep in my soul

I was sittin' on the front porch wishin' I hadn't known

Now you got me spinnin' out of control

Before her we'd go to parties

Before her I wasn't insane

Before her I'd call you baby

Before you ever said her name

I was sittin' on the front porch wishin' you was changed

I'd still love you any which way

I was sittin' on the front porch wishin' for better days

As I sit here dryin' tears from my face

Before her we'd go to parties

Before her I wasn't insane

Before her I'd call you baby

Before you ever said her name

Before her this house was a home

Now I sit here all alone

Thinkin' how could you do this to me

God, I thought our love was a movie

Now it's turned into a dark film, sad and cruel

And I hate how much I still love you

So come back baby, come back to me

If you don't love me, just don't tell me

My heart needs you like it needs a beat

And I think about you a billion times a week

So please come home

Come home

Before her we'd go to parties

Before her I wasn't insane

Before her I'd call you baby

Before you ever said her name

Don't our years count for something

And I pray she don't mean nothin',

don't mean nothin', nothin' to you honey

So please come home

They tell me that I'm not the same

They tell me that I'm just one thing

A mockingbird of someone else's work

A poser who has no words

Is what they say

They tell me that I'm just a fake

They say that I've a lied for the stage

Well, baby, that's just part of the game

A game in which you want first place

But you won't play

Well, come on, baby, try and shame me

Send those whispers and knives right at my back

Well, come on, honey, try and break me

You'll find that I'll always come back

I'll tell you this one thing

I'll never take the first swing

So, baby, to me you're all the same

Repeating words you've already sang

Only helping those who call your house a home

But God forbid I do this on my own

Is what I say

Is what I say

Is what I say

Just imagine the way that I'm feeling

Written off with no kind of warning from you

Maybe it's better than the truth

Better for you

But I can't keep you off my mind

I swear to God that I try

I hated when you said it

Just

Takes

Time

So here's to you and me

And hoping time flies by

Can you tell that I'm no longer listening

Won't digest the words that are said about you

Till our days waiting are through

When I stop thinking of you

But I can't keep you off my mind

I swear to God that I try

I hated when you said it

Just

Takes

Time

So here's to you and me

And hoping time flies by

You did it just the way you wanted to

Left me here to rust like a fool

But I'll just keep waiting

I'll keep on waiting

For your next cruel move

Cause I can't keep you off my mind

Oooo I swear to God that I try

I hated when you said it

Just

Takes

Time

So here's to you and me

And hoping time flies by

Here's to you and me

I'm hoping you get by

My family thinks he's far too sweet for me

Yeah, and I oughta let it be

Leave him alone for someone else

But honey, I just couldn't help myself

With those eyes, those hands that reach for me

Those arms I'm always gonna need

His love that feels like summertime

Lord, please make him mine, all mine

Cause he's home to me

He's home to me

Maybe one day he'll see their case

And take off running from this place

When the day comes, God rest my soul

How I'll live without him, no one knows

Cause those eyes, those hands that reach for me

Those arms I'm always gonna need

His love that feels like summertime

Lord, please make him mine, all mine

Cause he's home to me

Yeah, he's home to me

Yeah

He'll never find how crazy I am

I'll do my best to try and hide it

Wish I may, wish I might

Fool my lover every single night

But if he comes a little keen

I'll set my baby love, yeah set him free

Burn this house inside, only me

With all these loving

Memories, memories

Like those eyes, those hands that reach for me

Those arms I'm always gonna need

His love that feels like summertime

Lord, please make him mine, all mine

Cause he's home to me

Cause he's home to me

Sat down in a parking lot

Said, baby, hit me with what you got

I'm aware of your kind

But I don't need no gentleman tonight

Cause I'm thinking it can't be right

For us to say goodnight

No, it can't be right

For us to say goodbye

Cause baby, it's Friday night

Go on and kill the lights

Yeah, baby, it's Friday night

Just take your time

Cause you, yeah, you

Might be my only vice

So I'll ask you one last time

In case you maybe changed your mind

I know you're just trying to be nice

But I don't need that shit tonight

Cause I'm thinking if nothing's wrong

I might just take you home

Yeah, baby, if nothing's wrong

Let's silence both our phones

Cause baby, it's Friday night

Go on and kill the lights

Yeah, baby, it's Friday night

Just take your time

Cause you, yeah, you

Might be my only vice

Oh, oh, oh

Cause baby, it's Friday night

(Come on, baby, it's Friday night)

Go on and kill the lights

(Kill the lights)

Yeah, baby, it's Friday night

(Come on, baby, it's Friday night)

Just take your time

Cause you, yeah, you

Might be my only vice

Oh, oh, oh

(Cause baby, it's Friday night)

Oh, oh, oh

(Kill the lights)

Oh, oh, oh

I may black out after brunch

But I'll be on time come Monday

Make a mess out of life and such

Hit refresh tomorrow and slay

When my girls call me up for a little brunch

I put on my Sunday best and grab my clutch

Oh, it might start at 10 and end at 2

But who really cares as long as I'm with you

Cause we're just Sunday brunchin'

I may dance with the maitre d

Fill my drink up to the rim

Guess we'll choose a new place next week

But I may never drink again

At least just for two weeks

Till I forget that was me

Who chundered in the Uber

Oops, sorry mister

Cause we're just Sunday brunchin

Gettin' litty, get gettin' litty

All my girls sittin' tall pretty

Gettin' litty, get gettin' litty

We're talkin' up just gettin' giddy

Yeah, yeah

Gettin' litty, get gettin' litty

All my girls sittin' tall pretty

Gettin' litty, get gettin' litty

We're talkin' up just gettin' giddy

Yeah, yeah

Oh, cause we're just Sunday brunchin'

Said we're just Sunday brunchin

I don't know what you've been thinking but I wish you would

Shine some light on all your thoughts inside your world

Come on baby tell me what's been on your mind

Cause it's all I'm think about inside mine

I want to know you

But it seems I have a hard time trying to

I want to know you

But it's so damn difficult to

To try to know you

So we sit in silence side by side

Only window to your soul is through your eyes

But they're boarded up with a simple 'I'm alright'

Honey I can't do this every night

I want to know you

But it seems I have a hard time trying to

I want to know you

But it's so damn difficult to

To try to know you

Would it be so hard to show what's inside

Honey I just wanna look in your eyes

And know

That we're

Alright

I want to know you

But it seems I have a hard time trying to

I want to know you

But it's so damn difficult to

To try to know you

(Baby I can't do this all the time)

I want to know you

(Promise not to say what I find)

I want to know you

Please just don't keep me waiting

To try to know you

Just a little place in a small college town

They let the music play as the kids stood around

I was 21, fresh to the scene

It was then and there that he saw me

His approach was quick, writing on the walls

Didn't ask for much, but offered it all

I accepted one drink, maybe three or four

I'd later learn to not ask for more

Cause it got me in trouble, losing sleep

But the blood rush feeling was hard to beat

Now I'm stuck in this game that I can't win

Heaven, I'm begging, let me in

Have the fates decide I'm Cleopatra doomed

Cause this married man had something to prove

Let the whirlwind take me

Two worlds deep

It broke my heart, I'm not the only one

She had paper proof, the right was hers

Every time I walked in through those open doors

I owned the world, but knew I'd stolen hers

I could feel the whispers, cold on my neck

It wrecked me good, the shame and regret

But he grabbed my hand and walked me to the bar

I went one shot two, now he's got me seeing stars

And it got me in trouble, losing sleep

But the blood rush feeling was hard to beat

Now I'm stuck in this game that I can't win

Heaven, I'm begging, let me in

Have the fates decide I'm Cleopatra doomed

Cause this married man had something to prove

Let the whirlwind take me

Two worlds deep

Never once did I want this

Didn't ask him to leave me breathless

Never meant to hurt her or me

All I really wanted was to just fucking be

Yeah it got me in trouble, losing sleep

But the blood rush feeling was hard to beat

Now I'm stuck in this game that I can't win

Heaven, I'm begging, let me in

Have the fates decide I'm Cleopatra doomed

Cause this married man had something to prove

Let the whirlwind take me

Two worlds deep

If you're gonna leave me

Baby make it stick

Cause I can't live another

Moment like this

No I don't wanna lose babe

But I never seem to win

So I'll just keep on fighting

Till the day we end

Tell me that you love me

Say it one last time

So I don't hear the whisper

Of your last goodbye

No I don't wanna lose babe

But I never seem to win

So I'll just keep on fighting

Till the day we end

If you don't choose me

Then here's my last breath

Cause I can't lose another

Lover like this

No I don't wanna lose babe

But I never seem to win

So I'll just keep on fighting

Till the day we end

No I don't wanna lose you babe

So just let me win

Cause I won't lose another

Day to this

Just a southern girl left on the road

Her heart was still filled with hope

She was ready to be the best dog that you had ever seen

She said "you just hadn't met me"

In the natural state we searched high and low

For the perfect girl to counter our dark soul

Black and white pattern, it didn't matter how old

We were giving this girl a forever home

And we'll call her Wassie Girl

She loved everyone, never hurt a fly

She was scared of storms we'd hold her through the night

Beach babe, loved sand, waves, sticks, bones and even scones

She'd follow like a shadow through fears and unknowns

She was our Wassie Girl

Seven years went way too fast

Her legs and mind raced to see who went bad

We hand fed and carried her as much as we could

How her mind won the race, we never understood

When the day came, tears fell down my face

We tried our best to give a peaceful place

I held your paw and watched your eyes close just one last time

Your final breath took away mine

We said goodbye, Wassie Girl

The memories are all that's left

God, how I miss her old dog breath

They say we'll meet again at the Rainbow Bridge

Till that day comes, know you'll be missed

If you've lost your own four-legged soul

The joy they bring, I'm sure you know

If our love could keep them here they'd still be with us

Now they protect from up above

Yours is with our Wassie Girl
