If I Try To Leave lyrics - Deer Tick
If I try to leave
I won't know where I'm going
If I reach up my sleeve
I'll find my compass broken
Aw, who would take my place
If I were to go?
If I were to leave
For destinations unknown
If I try to leave
And find another future
Leave you in your grief
And other desperate measures
Some animals survive
But I only play dead
If I were to leave
From my own beloved
The same old town
But I don't make the same rounds
The same old man
But I ain't with the old crowd
I don't have to try hard
Loving you is easy
You know sometimes I wish
That you'd still try to teach me
Let love do me in
Love me 'til the end
I could never leave
You know I'd lose an old friend
The same old town
But I don't make the same rounds
The same old man
But I ain't with the old crowd
If I try to leave
I won't know where I'm going
If I reach up my sleeve
I'll find my compass broken
The same old town
But I don't make the same rounds
The same old man
But I ain't with the old crowd
Forgiving Ties lyrics - Deer Tick
I got caught between boredom and anger
A hammer came to the party to blind
All of my confidence
It had a warrant
Knocked on the door
And split open my mind
What are we doing?
Who are these people?
How did we let them get a
Word in edgewise?
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
For me, for you
And then for them, too
I got stuck in a state of reluctance
My hand was bitten by the mouth that it fed
I tried to slip back into the bathroom
A thought approached me
As my fingers bled
Who are these people?
How do they see me?
Would they get up if I
Let them down now?
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
For me, for you
And then for them, too
If they survive every buried disorder
And come to terms with a life on the ledge
I could be kind to myself in the mortar
And take a moment with the hammer again
Who are you fooling?
You're just a turnstile
I know the way
And I can see myself down the line
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
I'm not looking for forgiving ties
I'm just looking for a way to survive
I and I
For me, for you
And then for them, too
Grey Matter lyrics - Deer Tick
Sometimes you think you know who people are
Then you meet 'em and they leave you hanging in the dark
Makes me wonder how I ever could have gotten far
Come on, take a ride on a falling star
You won't regret it, the places you'll go
Never forget it, it's a hell of a show
Turn around, click your heels if you wanna go home
Some come to the light, some run for the door
Let the chemical spill into your grey matter
The bomb went off and all the ashes are scattered
Just when you think that you can't get any sadder
Disaster comes so hang onto your ladder
You won't regret it, the places you'll go
Never forget it, it's a hell of a show
Turn around, click your heels if you wanna go home
Some come to the light, some run for the door
You won't catch me living in the past
No, I'm still looking for a greener kind of grass
Ain't gonna find it in a looking glass
So come on, you never know if this will be your last
You won't regret it, the places you'll go
Never forget it, it's a hell of a show
Turn around, click your heels if you wanna go home
Some come to the light, some run for the door
You won't regret it, the places you'll go
Never forget it, it's a hell of a show
Turn around, click your heels if you wanna go home
Some come to the light, some run for the door
You won't regret it, the places you'll go
Never forget it, it's a hell of a show
Turn around, click your heels if you wanna go home
Some come to the light, some run for the door
If She Could Only See Me Now lyrics - Deer Tick
If she could only see me now
A brand new smile upon my face
I look around but she has left me no trace
If she could only see me now
If she could only see me now
The bright new colors in my eyes
To show her love that she would recognize
If she could only see me now
Now some they can survive
With a love they've gotta hide
They're lying to themselves, I know
Oh, but me, I realize
When the chance has passed me by
I see it happening all over the world
And now
Now that I've finally been set free
She'd know exactly what she means to me
If she could only see me now
Now some they can survive
With a love they've gotta hide
They're lying to themselves, oh lord
Oh, but me, I realize
When the chance has passed me by
I see it happening all over the world
If she could only see me now
Well, I wouldn't stumble on my words
And I would say it 'til the whole world heard
If she could only see me
Oh, yes I'm sure
If she could only see me
If she could only
If she could only see me now
Running From Love lyrics - Deer Tick
Every evening when the sun goes down
My soul's off speeding to the wrong part of town
Issue a grievance to the sky above
And I'm always running, running from love
I keep on running
Running from love
I keep on running
Running from love
Dead of winter, in the deepest snow
My soul is trudging down the side of the road
And my head and heart can tend to push and shove
And I'm always running, running from love
I keep on running
Running from love
I keep on running
Running from love
Running from love
Running from love
Running from–
I keep on running
Running from love
Running from love
I keep on running
Running from love
Running from love
My wings are broken
I don't see a way up (Ooh)
So I keep on running
Running from love
Running from love
Running from love
Running from love
Running from love
Once In A Lifetime lyrics - Deer Tick
No one knows how the story will unfold
And as it goes, one minute friend, one minute foe
When I saw you walk away last night I realized
How strange it felt to me when you left my side
And it didn't feel right
Once in a lifetime
Never looking back again
Now is the right time
If there's anything you've longed to share
No one knows where in the world we're supposed to go
Confusion grows like a black hole taking everything and so
While I've got you near I begin to understand
It's perfectly clear
That this could be our only chance
Once in a lifetime
Never looking back again
Now is the right time
If there's anything you've longed to share
I don't know why, but I feel more
(Ooh la la la, ooh la la la)
Than all the love I've had before
(Ooh la la la, ooh la la la)
I'm hanging on your every word
And this you realize I'm sure
Once in a lifetime
Never looking back again
Now is the right time
If there's anything you've longed to share
Once in a lifetime
Never looking back again
Now is the right time
If there's anything you've longed to share
Once in a lifetime
(Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
(Now is the right time)
Once in a lifetime
(Now is the right time
If there's anything you've longed to share)
Once in a lifetime
Never looking back again
Now is the right time
If there's anything you've longed to share
Once in a lifetime
Disgrace lyrics - Deer Tick
I had a dream that you were back
Full of sex and betrayal
Not that you'd know about it, anyway
Unless I mentioned it to you
In the moment I was changed
After waking up
Before the shame all fades away
Don't let your disgrace go free
Just use your enemy
Don't let your disgrace go free
Woo, hoo, hoo
And all the choices you have made
That may have left you changed
Your companion, your regret stays the same
But now we're ripping up the road
With a charming sense of strength
Now that I see
That the holes demand the faith
Don't let your disgrace go free
Just use your enemy
Don't let your disgrace go free
Woo, hoo, hoo
If pain is a hanger on
I want to feel sad and strong
I've got to be moving on
I've got no time to waste
Don't let your disgrace go free
Just use your enemy
Don't let your disgrace go free
Woo, hoo, hoo
Don't let your disgrace go free
Just use your enemy
Don't let your disgrace go free
Woo, hoo, hoo
My Ship lyrics - Deer Tick
It's been a long time
Since I saw you
Where've you been?
Man, you grew
I've been hanging by a thread
Night is young, you're here instead
Of the places you should be
Would you even know it's me?
You've come a long way
You've changed your name
I come here every day
And nothing's changed
I've been losing all my bets
Living with a few regrets
Oh, the time, it seemed so free
Would you even recognize me?
At night's first call
It's happy hour
Gazing from
My lonely tower
I've been waiting for my ship
Yours came fast and you left quick
Without a glance, not a word
And I know you won't return
It's been a long time
A Light Can Go Out In The Heart lyrics - Deer Tick
I'm left with my last drop
I know I'll leave you with scars
In the face of even cancer
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
Some decades we mastered
Some of their birthdays were duds
We never found that magic marker
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
You and I were the glass knot
All twisted heat in the sun
It wasn't love, it wasn't madness
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
A race that's too close to judge, now
At a pace that ain't fun
Now your life has no particular reason
And love is the happiest loser
It's still painful to watch it run
Run away
Such beautiful roses
So many graves left to fill
But those couldn't fool us
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
Even still, a light can go out in the heart
The Real Thing lyrics - Deer Tick
I guess I've settled for half of what I need
You burned through me like wildfire
And there ain't nothing new to see
I've given half my life away wondering which direction's home
With a jagged piece of you somewhere
Stuck deep into my soul
You know how it feels
Can't get no relief
This couldn't be real
But it feels like the real thing
The real thing
I guess I always thought that I'd have my second chances
The days are now so precious
The timeline keeps advancing
Just behind the door, I thought, were the answers to my questions
All I wanted was a clean break
But ended up here in a mess
You know how it feels
To be brought to your knees
This couldn't be real
But the heartache, it feels like the real thing
The real thing
Always searching
Never finding
Always somewhere else
I think
You know how it feels
This couldn't be real
But it feels like the real thing
You know how it feels
Can't get no relief
This couldn't be real
But it feels like the real thing
The real thing
You know how it feels
To be brought to your knees
This couldn't be real
But the heartache, it feels like the real thing
The real thing
