You Said

You said "take your time
I won't mind"
I know that's a lie
But I take my time
You said "think it out
And give me a shout"
I know you have your doubts
But I think it out
You keep waiting on me
Always so patiently
You said "be aware
Of things you can't repair"
I know that you're scared
But I am aware
You said "take it slow
Don't think, just know"
I can't let it go
But I take it slow
You keep waiting on me
Always so patiently
You said "give me truth
I know it's in you"
I really need it too
So I give you truth
You keep waiting on me
Always so patiently
You said "take your time
And I won't mind"

When I Buy a House
05:47
|

When I buy a house
I wanna settle down in the woods
Put a corn cob on a string
And treat the neighbors like I should
And it's so quiet
Hear the wind through the branches
It's all mine and
I'll never take nothing for granted anymore
When I buy a house
It's gonna have a roof that never leaks
The walls won't be bare, there's room to spare,
And the hardwood floor might creak
But it's my own and
I'm learning to like my space
It's my home and
It's not so easily replaced anymore
When I buy a house
It's gonna have a room where I can think
I'll have a desk for a change
And if I want to, I'll paint the walls pink
No one can convince me
It's more or less for myself
But I won't be busy
Trying to reorganize the shelves anymore
When I buy a house
I'm gonna let my dog sleep in my own bed
We'll run in the yard
And I'll tell her what's in my head
It's been a long time
Without the ones I love
But I'll send them invites
Hope some of 'em aren't too above me anymore
When I buy a house, it's gonna be so lovely
When I buy a house, it's gonna be so lovely
When I buy a house
I'm gonna put a piana in the front room
I'll play guitar late at night
While I'm staring at the moon
I'll feel better
Writing what I feel
And I'm not tethered
To what they say is real anymore
When I buy a house
I feel like the world will make so much sense
Put a little plastic bird feeder
On a giant wooden fence
I feel humbled
Being one with my surroundings
No longer a bumble
Or a mess less than astounding anymore
When I buy a house
I'm gonna put my feet up on the table

Take What You Get
03:40
|

Hiding behind all the walls
It's safe to say I wouldn't know humanity if it called
Stuck inside the lion's den
And I've been eaten alive once or twice and I let it kill me then
Just when I see the light and I think I've found my way out
I'm crippled by your harsh words and overwhelming self-doubt
I guess you take what you get
And you love what you got
Or you give it right back
And pretend that it's not
What you deserve
They say, "love it or leave it"
Oh, baby, believe it
I wasted my time under all these impressions that
I live to serve
So if you've got the nerve
Well, I don't care what you heard
I can't be pushed over
Put me on the pedestal
Just to sit around, point and laugh, pretend you're in control
You can stab me in the back
I can't honestly say that I'm not used to something like that
Just when I see the light and I know I'm getting close
You try and put out my fire but you're at the end of your rope
I guess you take what you get
And you love what you got
Or you give it right back
And pretend that it's not
What you deserve
They say, "love it or leave it"
Oh, baby, believe it
I wasted my time under all these impressions that
I live to serve
So if you've got the nerve
Well, I don't care what you heard
I can't be pushed over
I guess you take what you get
And you love what you got
Or you give it right back
And pretend that it's not
What you deserve
They say, "love it or leave it"
Oh, baby, believe it
I wasted my time under all these impressions that
I live to serve
So if you've got the nerve
Well, I don't care what you heard
I can't be pushed over

Love Is
04:10
|

Love is messy but it can feel so clean
And all of these lines that lay between you and me
Makes love so reckless - it's all over the place
Spreading like a wildfire until I see it on your face
And I don't wanna feel like I'm out of control
I don't want somebody saying that I fell in some hole
Lord knows I didn't sell part of my soul
To feel this free
Love is timeless, love is hopeful, love will be
Oh, love is inside of me
Love is dangerous if it's slippin' away
But most of the time, if you want it to, love will stay
Love is a weapon, love is a drug
I feel like a junkie 'cause I just can't get enough
And I don't wanna feel like I'm out of control
I don't want somebody saying that I fell in some hole
Lord knows I didn't sell part of my soul
To feel this free
Love is timeless, love is hopeful, love will be
Oh, love is inside of me
Love is broken into two
Half of it belongs to me and half of it I saved for you
Love is patient, love is kind
Love is yours now and love is mine
And I don't wanna feel like I'm out of control
I don't want somebody saying that I fell in some hole
Lord knows I didn't sell part of my soul
To feel this free
Love is timeless, love is hopeful, love will be
Love is timeless, love is hopeful, love will be
Oh, love is inside of me

Gypsy Heart
05:02
|

Four years we'd come together
But I would lock myself inside
And every time I stole your heart
I felt the need to run and hide
Like a true thief in the night
A rebel with no cause
If there were good intentions
Well, I guess they were lost
To a hunger growing in me
A girl who dreamed for free
You could never tie her down
Without curiousity
Not all things come in two
Like the moments of pure bliss
But I will always remember love
Tastes like a peppermint kiss
You can try to make me stay
But I belong somewhere far away
Given the chance to settle down
Two bright kids and a sleepy town
I'd rather take my wings and fly far
Guided by a southern star
There's no set path
When you've got a gypsy heart like that
You were born for the road
I take pride in the homeland
The one I learned to fear
But I can't see myself returning
Year after year
So what exactly is it
That makes a girl go home
Is it the admiration of the people
Or the knowing that you're known
By a multitude of bodies
That claim they love you most
To me, the memories in this town
Slink around like ghosts
They're inside boxes, in the walls
Hidden horrors, haunted halls
I'll commemorate nostalgia
But my wanderlust, it calls
You can try to make me stay
But I belong somewhere far away
Given the chance to settle down
Two bright kids and a sleepy town
I'd rather take my wings and fly far
Guided by a southern star
There's no set path
When you've got a gypsy heart like that
You were born for the road
One hand out the window
And in tow, everywhere you've ever been
Before
You can try to make me stay
But I belong somewhere far away
You can try to make me stay
But I belong somewhere far away
Given the chance to settle down
Two bright kids and a sleepy town
I'd rather take my wings and fly far
Guided by a southern star
There's no set path
When you've got a gypsy heart like that
You were born for the road

South of Tennessee
04:29

I once knew a man
And he drove a tin can
And he thought his tin can was the best one in the world
But one day a whip drove by
I saw the sparkle in his eye
He said, "I betcha I can make my rock a pearl"
So he went to the DMV
And for $15.93
He bought some pretty plates to put on his old ride
He bought some gold sticker stars
Put it on his beat up car
Just to go along with his little white lie
Did you know that old Willie
Drove that honky-tonk car
And it may not be real fast
But it got him really far
Went all the way from Hollywood
Back to Nashville, Tennessee
And that's where I found this car
And this car, well, it found me
Well, the numbers, they rolled in
It was 5 then it was 10
He sold it quick but lost the money in a bet
Took a loan from a lonely love
Tried to push and tried to shove
Just to get about all that he could get
Did you know that ol' woman
Took advantage of your dad
And she wouldn't stop her future
To realize what she had
Went all the way from Colorado
Back to Clarksville, Tennessee
And that's where I left that woman
And that woman, she left me
Well sometimes now I wonder
If that car is doing fine
And I know that womans' crazy
So well I call it mine
I guess we'll be okay somewhere
South of Tennessee
And that man, well he's somewhere
And somewhere he will be
And that man, I don't miss him
I don't care if he misses me

Gettin' Clean
04:05
|

You were a mess when I left you in the kitchen
You were a mess when you were laying on the floor
You were a mess when I made you pack your bags
And you were a mess when I kicked you out the door
And you know my vision is clearer
But you go on thinking I'm so mean
You were a mess, fogging up my mirror
Leave me alone 'cause I'm gettin' clean
You were a mess when you made the call
You were a mess when you asked me why
You were a mess when you told me you still loved me
And you were a mess when I said goodbye
And you know my vision is clearer
But you go on thinking I'm so mean
You were a mess, fogging up my mirror
Leave me alone 'cause I'm gettin' clean
Take a mental note, baby
I don't want you around
I've already moved on and now that you're gone
It's the sweetest silence I've found
You were a mess holding on to every corner
You were a mess making excuses for yourself
You were a mess trying so hard to stay in my life
You were a mess, now you go get your own help
And you know my vision is clearer
But you go on thinking I'm so mean
You were a mess, and you were fogging up my mirror
Leave me alone 'cause I'm gettin' clean
Leave me alone 'cause I'm gettin' clean
