The Fray - Never Say Never

Some things we don’t talk about
better do without
just hold a smile
we’re falling in and out of love
the same damn problem

together all the while
you can never say never
why we don’t know when
time and time again
younger now then we were before
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go

picture, you’re the queen of everything
as far as the eye can see
under your command
i will be your guardian
when all is crumbling
steady your hand

you can never say never
why we don’t know when
time and time again
younger now then we were before
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go

we’re falling apart
and coming together again and again
we’re coming apart
but we pull it together
pull it together, together again

don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go,
don’t let me go(x2)

Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Iron & Wine

I was a quick-wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill looming

Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill, stuck going down

I was following the pack,
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied ‘round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin’ in the snow
And I turned ‘round and there you go.
And, Michael, you would fall,
And turn the white snow
Red as strawberries in the summertime.
