Hand in my hair and you said I looked pretty
You're so devious, rode in
From the Windy City
I ain't gotta clear view
Tell me what you want me to do and
Tell me every single secret in your mind
Come on, baby, we got nothing but time
You say, I'm too young for you
You're scared I'm too right for you
You said you hate the smell of cigarette smoke
You only used to smoke when you drank
When you lived in Chicago
Unsure where the wind blowsI wish I'd known you in your wilder days
And now here we go
You got me falling in love again
You gotta secret, I wanna keep it
I wish I'd known you in your wilder days
The way you move your hands across my body
Kissing you in a hotel lobby
Baby I don't wanna lose this feeling
You're giving me something to believe in
And who were you before I knew your name?
Were you drunk at midnight waiting for the train?
You could have been anyone back then
Just another kid reaching for the windYou said you hate the smell of cigarette smoke
You only used to smoke when you drank
When you lived in Chicago
Unsure where the wind blows
I wish I'd known you in your wilder days
And now here we go
You got me falling in love again
You gotta secret, I wanna keep it
I wish I'd known you in your wilder days
What were you like when you were a little wilder?
Why don't you show me?
Why don't you show me?
What you were like when you got a little higher?
Just for tonight, just for tonight
You said you hate the smell of cigarette smoke
You only use to smoke when you drank
When you lived in Chicago
Unsure where the wind blows
I wish I'd known you in your wilder days
And now here we go
You got me falling in love again
You gotta secret, I wanna keep it
I wish I'd known you in your wilder daysI wish I'd known you in your wilder days
I wish I'd known you in your wilder days -

It's raining at my house, is it raining at yours?
When it rains it pours, to hell with the metaphors
I want you so bad I think I might die
I'm sorry I keep feeding you these lines butI sure like your sounds and if you were here
I'd love to get you high then lay down, I
Want you hanging around
I've been needing something good
Hey, baby, can I use you right now?I wrote you a letter, I threw it in the trash
I got it out, I lit it with a match
I'm not gonna tell you how I feel
It's overrated but damn, it's realI sure like your sounds and if you were here
I'd love to get you high then lay down, I
Want you hanging around
I've been needing something good
Hеy, baby, can I use you right now?If you don't want me that don't bother mе at all
Don't be upset if I don't answer when you call
Maybe I can move on but there was nothing to move on from
My veins are on fire, babe, my face is numbI sure like your sounds and if you were here
I'd love to get you high then lay down, I
Want you hanging around
I've been needing something good
Hey, baby, can I use you right now?It's raining at my house, is it raining at yours?

You knew my skin back before I had all these tattoos
You remember me on late nights strung out from pills and booze
We've had some bad times, baby, but we had some good times, too
You knew my skin back before I had all these tattoos
Baby, baby, baby
We ain't nothing but Rolling Stones
Being a gypsy ain't so bad when you're with me
'Cause I never have to be alone
You've seen the parts of me that the world says I should hide
But even in the dark you love my bitter heart
And we'll make it to the other side
These days when I look back, I just have to laugh
They all said that you and I would never last
I've made my share of mistakes and we left that in the past
These days when I look back, I just have to laugh
Baby, baby, baby
We ain't nothing but Rolling Stones
Being a gypsy ain't so bad when you're with me
'Cause I never have to be alone
You've seen the parts of me that the world says I should hide
But even in the dark you love my bitter heart
And we'll make it to the other sideBut even in the dark
You love my bitter heart
And we'll make it to the other side
Baby, baby, baby
We ain't nothing but Rolling Stones
Being a gypsy ain't so bad when you're with me
'Cause I never have to be alone
You've seen the parts of me that the world says I should hide
But even in the dark you love my bitter heart
And we'll make it to the other side
Even in the dark
You love my bitter heart
And we'll make it to the other side
Even in the dark
You love my bitter heart
And we'll make it to the other side -

I'll always be my own worst critic
The world exists and I'm just in it
Find something good and mess it up
Lie and say it just wasn't enough
I'll always be my own worst critic
And I hate to suffocate between something I love, something I hate
If I don't know who I am, how can I ever give a damn?
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
At some point, your hero must die
To escape the hands of time
It's okay to not be alright, and
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Face the truth and bare your soul
Lose yourself and break your heart
It's a beautiful thing to fall apartAlways runnin' outta time
Another's world wrapped up in mine
On a trip, so devout until I get bored and I check out
Always runnin' outta time
I won't try to justify the things I've done, the lies I've lied
I can leave the past in the past
I smell it on my breath, I can't go backDon't cry, don't cry, don't cry
At some point, your hero must die
To escape the hands of time
It's okay to not be alright, and
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Face the truth and bare your soul
Lose yourself and break your heart
It's a beautiful thing to fall apart
I am not who I seem
My alter ego takes the lead
Sit back and let her drive
But only one makes it out alive
I gotta take control
Lose myself to gain my soul
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
At some point, your hero must die
To escape the hands of time
It's okay to not be alright, and
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Face the truth and bare your soul
Lose yourself and break your heart
It's a beautiful thing to fall apartDon't cry, don't cry, don't cry, yeah
Let it go, let it go, let it go, ooh
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, yeah
Let it go, let it go, let it go -

I was out of my head as I climbed in your bed
And I thought I'd found something real
You were asleep, I could feel you breathe
I still love how that made me feel
I am not much of anything
You will always be everything
Turn that car around
You don't need to be leaving me now
Come to bed and I will shut my mouth
And I don't know what's wrong with me
But you came along and finally I see
The type of love I know I need
No words spoken, I'm so broken
I hope you can mend me
And then we walked around every inch of this town
As I nearly gave you my heart
And I fell too fast and I knew it wouldn't last
You told me it was bad from the startMy whitе flag is up, I'm surrounded
You've got me feeling groundеd
Turn that car around
You don't need to be leaving me now
Come to bed and I will shut my mouth
'Cause I don't know what's wrong with me
But you came along and finally I see
The type of love I know I need
No words spoken, I'm so broken
I hope you can mend me
And you walked away
Didn't know what to say
So I, I just waved goodbye
I took a step and let out my breath
And I stared straight into that sky
I felt like you betrayed me
Now I'm thinking you've saved me
Turn that car around
You don't need to be leaving me now
Come to bed and I will shut my mouth
'Cause I don't know what's wrong with me
But you came along and finally I see
The type of love I know I need
No words spoken, I'm so broken
I hope you can mend me -

Tell me the truth
Is it over for you?
It isn't for me
But I'll say what you want me to say
Addiction is strong
Know it's wrong
But I need that high
I ain't gonna lie
Give me tonight
So I can be alright
I can hold your body
And you can hold mine
I want you one last time
Another hit to ease my mind
I don't want you to be over yet
Won't you be my last cigarette?
I thought it took three times
To burn into my mind
But, I had you once
And you threw a punch
But I'm not too mad
All the fun that we had
But it's hard to let go
It's so hard to say no
I can't go all day
My hands, they shake
I've gone off the deep side
Habits gonna make me dieI want you one last time
Another hit to ease my mind
I don't want you to bе over yet
Won't you be my last cigarеtte?
So, you want better now
So, you gotta lay me down
But don't go, not yet
Wanna wake up with you on my breath
I want you one last time
Another hit to ease my mind
I don't want you to be over yet
Won't you be my last cigarette? -

If I could go let down my hair
Would you take off those clothes you wear?
And hold me here tonight?
If I can learn to trust someone
My heart is like a loaded gun
Tell me it will be alright
I've been looking for some peace of mind
With you here, I think it's time
Lay me down on the floor in the kitchen
Show my angry heart what I've been missing
Baby, take me away
I'm so tired of being alone
Won't you rest my angry bones?
Baby, take me away
I wanna feel something, mhm
Take me away
I'm so good at rеsisting
Been putting up my best defensеs
But I am growing weak
Baby, baby, lay me down
Take the words out of my mouth
I'm too tired to speakThe woman in me, she needs the lover in you
I think you know what to do
Lay me down on the floor in the kitchen
Show my angry heart what I've been missing
Baby, take me away
I'm so tired of being alone
Won't you rest my angry bones?
Baby, take me away
I wanna feel something, mhm
Take me away
Lay me down on the floor in the kitchen
Show my angry heart what I've been missing
Baby, take me away
I'm so tired of being alone
Won't you rest my angry bones?
Baby, take me away
Yeah, I wanna feel something, mhm
Yeah, I wanna feel something, mhm
Yeah, I wanna feel something, mhm -

Goin' too fast down the wrong way
Swimmin', and I pass where the waves break
I don't know where I'm goin' now
See no signs of slowin' down
Tryna make sense of this whole thing
Everybody runs from something, someday
I don't have a clue, who I am without you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You had me thinkin' I was okay
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
But then you turn around and left me
Reckless, no headlights
Driving too fast down shadow lines
Reckless, hand in the fire
No one to love, while I'm walking on the wire
Reckless, all alone
My heart is broken on the side of the road
I could fix it if I hеad home
You ain't here to drivе me
RecklessYou told me I should be more free
Is that how you tried to control me?
Did you ever really want this?
Were you afraid you were gonna miss?
I quit checkin' all the road signs
You don't give a damn what you left behind
I guess I'll be, moving on
'Til the thought of you is gone
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Gone like everything we've ever shared
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Like thinkin' you ever cared
And now I'm
Reckless, no headlights
Driving too fast down shadow lines
Reckless, hand in the fire
No one to love while, I'm walking on the wire
Reckless, all alone
My heart is broken on the side of the road
I could fix it if I head home
You ain't here to drive me
RecklessOoh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You had me thinkin' I was okay
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Then you turned around and made me
Reckless, no headlights
Driving too fast down shadow lines
Reckless, hand in the fire
No one to love while I'm walking on the wire
Reckless, all alone
My heart is broken on the side of the road
I could fix it if I head home
You ain't here to drive me
Reckless
You ain't here to drive me
Reckless -

Didn't know the difference between
What I needed and what I was wanting
And the way you looked at me
Was a little haunting
I can still see you with your whiskey and your ginger
Back of the bar, drunk in early September
But I'm missing you now
I'm still stuck here in this southern town
So tell me
Tell me, how's that northern air
And do you think of me when you're all alone?
Won't you bring yourself on home?
I sang you songs, I wrote about you, didn't even know it
Or maybe you did and you were too afraid to show it
Tonight I wonder if you're by yourself
But I can't imagine you with anyone else
So tell me
Tell me, how's that northern air
And do you think of me when you're all alone?
I could drive all night to be there
'Cause I don't think that I could stand
One more night on my own
Won't you bring yourself on home?There's a red wine stain on my white dress
That I bought to impress you
That night that I confessed my truth
Didn't know it would upset you
I haven't seen you in so long
But after all this time, these feelings, they're not gone
So tell me
Tell me, how's that northern air
And do you think of me when you're all alone?
I could drive all night to be there
'Cause I don't think that I could stand
One more night on my own
Won't you bring yourself on home?
Won't you bring yourself on home?
Won't you bring yourself on home?
Won't you bring yourself on home?
There's a red wine stain on my white dress
That I bought to impress you -

I'd write you a love song
But I don't know how that feels
Tonight I am numb
From a cocktail of pills
I hallucinate
Think I'm touchin' your skin
I'd much rather die
Than think of the bed that you're in
And the streetlights, they might as well, burn and hold out
Ain't nothing bright as you, ever step foot in this godforsaken town
You lied and you left, and I'm wonderin' what the hell I should do?
I'd seen it all, or so I thought, until I met you
We didn't get our books
In bed every night
We're dancing in the kitchen
Drunk off of some shitty wine
I didn't get that ring
There on my hand
I didn't get your name
In ink all over my skinAnd the streetlights, they might as well, burn and hold out
Ain't nothing bright as you, evеr step foot in this godforsaken town
You lied and you lеft, and I'm wonderin' what the hell I should do?
I'd seen it all, or so I thought, until I met you
Now I ain't, tryna ask you to save me
Even I, don't like, who I've been lately
And I'm well, aware, that I might not ever find loving
But like Hemingway and Hadley, it's not the end of our story
Sit here tonight
Alone with my thoughts
Alone with my sins
And the things that I've bought
I told you I loved you
The night that we met
I felt it back then
And it ain't left me yet
And the streetlights, they might as well, burn and hold out
Ain't nothing bright as you, ever step foot in this godforsaken town
You lied and you left, and I'm wonderin' what the hell I should do?
I'd seen it all, or so I thought, until I met youI'd seen it all, or so I thought, until I lost you
