Welcome To New York lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

Walking through a crowd the village is aglow
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
Everybody here wanted something more
Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before

[Chorus:]
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forever more the lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me

When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors
Took our broken hearts put them in a drawer
Everybody here was someone else before
And you can want who you want,
boys and boys and girls and girls

[Chorus:]
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York

It's a new soundtrack
I could dance to this beat, beat
Forever more the lights are so bright
But they never blind me, me

Like any great love it keeps you guessing
Like any real love it's ever changing
Like any true love it drives you crazy
But you wanna change anything anything anything

Blank Space lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, do you wanna play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

So goddamn reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
I'm your King and you my Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

So goddamn reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
I'll write your name
I'll write your name
I'll write your name

Style lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

Midnight, you come and pick me up with no headlights
Long drive, could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view
It's been a while since I even heard from you
I should just tell you, you should leave
I know exactly where it leads
Watch us go around, 'round each time

[Chorus:]
You've got that Daydream Nation look in your eye
I got that pent up love thing that you like
And we go crashing down, we come back every time
We never go out of style, we never go out of style

So it goes, I can't keep my eyes on the road
She takes me home, lights are off, she's taking off her coat
I say "I've heard that you've been out and about
with someone new, someone new, someone new"
She says "What you heard is true
I can't stop thinking about you"
And I've been there far too many times

[Chorus:]
You've got that Daydream Nation look in your eye
I got that pent up love thing that you like
And we go crashing down, we come back every time
We never go out of style, we never go out of style
You've got that long brown hair thing that I like
You've got that good girl faith and ass so tight
And we go crashing down, we come back every time
We never go out of style, we never go out of style

Out Of The Woods lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

Looking at it now
It all seemed so simple
We were lying on the couch
I remember
You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered (then discovered)
The rest of the world is black and white
We were in screaming color
I remember thinkin'

[Chorus:]
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good

Looking at it now
Last December
We were built to fall apart
And fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn't forget, when we decided
To move the furniture so we could dance
Like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying

[Chorus:]
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good

I remember you hit the brakes too soon
20 stitches in the hospital room
When you started crying, baby I did too
When the sun came up, I was lookin' at you
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
I walked out and said I was setting you free
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
And when the sun came up, you were looking at me

[Chorus:]
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good

All You Had To Do Was Stay lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

People like you always want back
The love they gave away
And people like me wanna believe you
When you say that you've changed
The more I think about it now the less I know
All I know is that you drove us off the road

[Chorus:]
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hands
Why'd you have to go and lock me out while I let you in?
Stay, hey
Now you say you want it back
Now it's just too late
Well, it could have been easy
All you had to do was stay

Here you are now calling me up
But I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces
Of the mess you made
People like you always want back
The love they pushed aside
People like me are gone forever
When you say goodbye

[Chorus:]
Stay, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hands
Why'd you have to go and lock me out while I let you in?
Stay, hey
Now you say you want it back
It's just too late
Well, it could have been easy
All you had to do was stay
Well, it could have been easy
All you had to do was stay
Could have been easy
All you had to do was stay
Stay, all you had to do was stay

All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay
All you had to do was stay

Shake It Off lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

I stay out too late, got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, that's what people say
I go on too many dates, but I can't make 'em stay
Least that's what people say, that's what people say
But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind sayin' it's gonna be alright

[Chorus:]
Cause the players gonna play
And the haters gonna hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake
Shake it off, shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break
And the fakers gonna fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake
Shake it off

I'll never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet
That's what they don’t see, that's what they don’t see
I'm dancing on my own, I'll make up the moves as I go
And that's what they don't know, that’s what they don’t know

[Chorus:]
Cause the players gonna play
And the haters gonna hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake
Shake it off, shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break
And the fakers gonna fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake

Baby, I'm just gonna shake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake
Shake it off, shake it off

I Wish You Would lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

It's 2 am, in your car
Windows down, past my street, memories start
Say it's in the past
You drive straight ahead
Thinking that I hate you now
But you still don't know what I never said

[Chorus:]
I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did
I wish that you knew that
I'll never forget you as long as I live
I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would

It's 2 am, in my room
Headlights pass the window pane
And I think of you
We're crooked love
In a straight line down
Makes you wanna run and hide
Makes you wanna turn right back around

[Chorus:]
I wish you would come back
Never hung up the phone like I did
I wish that you knew that
I'll never forget you as long as I live
I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would
I wish we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for
I wish that you knew that
I miss you too much to be mad anymore
I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would

You always knew how to push my buttons
You gave me everything and nothing
This mad love makes you come running
Stand back where you stood
I wish you would, I wish you would

It's 2 am, here we are
See your face, hear my voice in the dark
We're a crooked love
In a straight line down
Makes you wanna run, makes you wanna hide
Makes you wanna turn right back around

[Chorus:]
I wish you would come back
Never hung up the phone like I did
I wish that you knew that
I'll never forget you as long as I live
I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would
I wish you would come back
Never hung up the phone like I did
I wish that you knew that
I'll never forget you as long as I live
I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would
I wish you would
I wish you would

I wish we could go back
And know what we were fighting for
I wish that you knew that
I miss you too much to be mad anymore
I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would

Bad Blood lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

Baby, have to do this? I was thinking that you could be trusted
Baby, have to ruin what was shiny? Now it's all rusted
Did you have to hit me, where I'm weak? Baby, I couldn't breathe
And rub it in so deep, salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me

It's so sad to think about the good times, you and I

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know we used to have mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood

Baby, think we'd be fine? Got scars on my back from your knife
Don't think it's in the past, these kinda wounds they always last
Did you think it all through? All these things will catch up to you
Time can heal but this won't, so if you're coming my way, just don't

It's so sad to think about the good times, you and I

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood

Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
You live like that, you live with ghosts
You love like that blood runs cold

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood

Wildest Dreams lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

She said, "Let's get out of this town
Drive out of this city, away from the crowds"
I thought, heaven can't help me now
Nothing lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down

She's so tall and handsome as hell
She's so bad, but she does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition is

[Chorus:]
Say you'll remember me
Standing in your nice dress, staring at the sunset
Red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Your wildest dreams

I said, "No one has to know what we do"
Her hands are in my hair, her clothes are in my room
Her voice is a familiar sound, nothing lasts forever
But this is getting good now

She's so tall and handsome as hell
She's so bad, but she does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request is

[Chorus:]
Say you'll remember me
Standing in your nice dress, staring at the sunset, baby
Red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Your wildest dreams

You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
Bet all these memories will follow you around
Will follow you around, 'round

[Chorus:]
Say you'll remember me
Standing in your nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Your wildest dreams
Say you'll remember me
Say you'll remember me

How You Get The Girl lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

Stand there like a ghost shaking from the rain
She'll open up the door and say, "Are you insane?"
Say it's been a long six months
And you were too afraid to tell her what you want

And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl
That's how it works
That's how you get the girl

[Chorus:]
Said I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
I would wait forever and ever
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl

Remind her how it used to be
With pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks
Tell her how you must have lost your mind
When you left her all alone and you never told her why

And that's how it works
That's how you lost the girl

[Chorus:]
I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart, put it back together
I would wait forever and ever
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl

You could know that I don't wanna let you go
You could know that I don't wanna let you go
Remind me how it used to be
Pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks
And you say, you say you want me
And you say, you say you want me

This Love lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

Clear blue water, high tide came and brought you in
And I could go on and on, on and on, and I will
Skies grew darker, currents swept you out again
And you are just gone and gone, gone and gone
In silent screams and wildest dreams
I never dreamed of this

[Chorus:]
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is back from the dead
And these hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me

Tossing, turning, struggled through the night with someone new
And I can go on and on, on and on, and I will
Lantern burning, flickering in my mind for only you
But you were still gone, gone
Been losing grip, these sinking ships
It's like you showed up just in time

[Chorus:]
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is back from the dead
And these hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me

My kiss, your cheek, I watched you leave
Your smile, my ghost, I fell to my knees
When you're young, you run
When you're young, you run
But you come back to what you need

[Chorus:]
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is back from the dead
And these hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
This love came back to me

I Know Places lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

You stand with your hand on your waistline
It's a scene and we're out here in plain sight
I can hear them whisper as we pass by
It's a bad sign, it's a bad sign
Something happens when everybody finds out
See the vultures circling dark clouds
Love's a fragile little flame
It could burn out, it could burn out

Cause they got the cages, they got the boxes and guns
They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run
We run, we run

[Chorus:]
Cause baby, I know places we won't be found
And they'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down
Cause I, I know places we can hide
Yeah, I know places

Lights flash and we run for the fences
Let them say what they want, we won't hear it
Loose lips sink ships all the damn time
Not this time, not this time

Just grab my hand and don't ever drop it, my love
They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run
We run, we run

[Chorus:]
Baby, I know places we won't be found
And they'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down
Cause I, I know places we can hide
I know places

They take their shots, we're bulletproof
And you know for me, it's always you
In the dead of night, your eyes so green
And I know for you, I know for you
I know for you, it's always me

[Chorus:]
Baby, I know places we won't be found
And they'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down
Cause I, I know places we can hide
I know places
I know places we can hide
I know places we can hide

Clean lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Taylor Swift)

The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
It was months and months of back-and-forth
You're still all over me like a wine-stained shirt I can't wear anymore
Hung my head as I lost the war
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm

[Chorus:]
The rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
Think that I am finally clean

There was nothing left to do
When the butterflies turned to dust, they covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
The water filled my lungs, and I screamed so loud
But nobody heard a thing

[Chorus:]
And the rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
That morning, gone was any trace of you
Think that I am finally clean

Ten months sober, I must admit
Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it
Ten months older, I won't give in
Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it
Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it

[Chorus:]
The rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
By morning, gone was any trace of you
I think that I am finally clean
It came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
By morning, gone was any trace of you
Gone was any trace of you
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace
Gone was any trace, gone was any trace

"Ryan Adams" (2014)



Gimme Something Good lyrics - Ryan Adams

I can't talk
My mind is so blank
So going for a walk
I've got nothing left to say

I can't see
The darkness on the rise
I'll be waiting here
Until the under tide

All my life
Been shaking
Wanting something
Holding everything I have like it was broken
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good

I was playing dead
Doesn't make a sound
Holding my breath
Going underground

So I can't talk
I got nothing to say
It's like there's no tomorrow
Barely yesterday

All my life
Been shaking
Wanting something
Holding everything I have like it was broken
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Oh no

All my life
Been shaking
Wanting something
Holding everybody back
Round and round
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Oh no

Kim lyrics - Ryan Adams

I can't sleep, can't go home
Underneath the branches of a sycamore tree
On a darkened road
With this key, scratched into the wall
I spell out your name
It's fucking with my head
Fucking with my heart

As the autumn leaves begin to fall
Walking down the street
Where you and I would walk
I see him, kim, kim, kim, kim

I can't sleep, can't let go
Underneath my feet it's miles
Nothing, there's nowhere to go
With this key, scratched into my arm
I spell out your name, it's ringing in my head
Like a false alarm

As the autumn leaves begin to fall and grey
Walking down the street
I watched you walk away
To be with him, kim, kim, kim, kim
Oh kim!

Like I never seen
Walking down the streets
We'll never walk again
Kim, kim, kim, kim
Oh kim!

Trouble lyrics - Ryan Adams

Trouble, I hear the clock tick in the room
The walls will crumble, and you're holding
The match up to the fuse
Sometimes I've just got nothing else to say
I've been on repeat since yesterday
There's something to lose, either way

Hey, we might as well be dead and be gone
If we don't belong here
Hey, it was the year and the day
But the lines on my face
Are like a map of my sins
Yeah, and all the trouble I'm in
Trouble I'm in

Trouble, I feel you watch me across the room
Another summer, and the palms are the color of doom
Put my hand through the mirror, let the water run
7 Years bad luck is better than none
Following the bullet back into the gun

Hey, we might as well be dead and be gone
If we don't belong here
Hey, it was the year and the day
But the lines on my face
Are like a map of my sins
Yeah, and all the trouble I'm in
All the Trouble
All the trouble I'm in

I see my brother, he's waiting in line for his turn
I'm not as humble, I know everything here is gonna burn
Sometimes I just got nothing else to say
I've been on repeat since yesterday
There's something to lose, either way

Hey, we might as well be dead and be gone
If we don't belong here
Hey, it was the year and the day
But the lines on my face
Are like a map of my sins
Hey, we might as well be dead and be gone
If we don't belong here
Hey, it was the year and the day
But the lines on my face
Are like a map of my sins
Yeah, and all the trouble I'm in
All the Trouble
All the trouble I'm in
Hey, we might as well be dead and be gone
If we don't belong here
Hey, it was the year and the day
But the lines on my face
Are like a map of my sins
Yeah, and all the trouble I'm in
All the Trouble
All the trouble I'm in
Hey, all the trouble
All the trouble,
All the trouble I'm in

Am I Safe lyrics - Ryan Adams

All these things keep runnin' through my mind
Everyone and everything I left behind
Standing in the cold, grey dawn watching cars go by
All these things keep runnin' through my mind

[Chorus:]
Am I Safe
Am I Safe
Am I Safe
If I don't wanna be with you

Everyday my heart sinks like a stone
Carries me away into the undertow
At the bottom there's no air, there's no sound or light
All these things keep runnin' through my mind

[Chorus:]
Am I Safe
Am I Safe
Am I Safe
If I don't wanna be with you
Am I Safe
Am I Safe
Am I Safe
If I don't wanna be with you

[Middle 8th:]
On my way back home I see a house on fire
I close my eyes what if it was mine
It's complicated
I just don't love you anymore
I just want to sit here and watch it burn
Sit and watch it burn

Setting like a sun into the wild
Running from myself like when I was a child
Pictures hanging on the wall when we used to smile
All these things keep runnin' through my mind

[Chorus:]
Am I Safe
Am I Safe
Am I Safe
If I don't wanna be with you
Am I Safe
Am I Safe
Am I Safe
If I don't wanna be with you

My Wrecking Ball lyrics - Ryan Adams

Driving through the streets tonight
It's hot, I've got the windows down
I wish I could call you, I wish you were still around
Nothing much left in the tank
Somehow this thing still drives
Gift forgot what it needed but somehow still survives
And all the walls we build they must come down

Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and knock me down, come and knock me down
Come and knock me down tonight

Lying in the bed at night
Feeling like I'm somebody else
My thoughts inside my head get lost inside the haunted house
Everyone I used to know left their dreams by the door
I accidentally kick 'em that's how I can tell you're still not sure
And all the walls we build they rise and they fall

But hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and knock me down, come and knock me down
Come and knock me down tonight
Come and knock me down, come and knock me down, come and knock me down tonight
Come and knock me down, come and knock me down, come and knock me down tonight
Come and knock me down, come and knock me down, come and knock me down tonight

Driving through the streets at night
It's hot, I've got the windows down
I wish I could call you, I wish you were still around

Stay With Me lyrics - Ryan Adams

Love when you call my name
It sends me running into the flame
I love you baby, just treat me right
Hold me closer in the middle of the night
I love you girl, and it's alright
Stay with me

Are you waiting, are you standing guard?
There's nothing they can steal from us
That isn't always yours
I love you baby, just treat me right
Hold me closer in the middle of the night
I love you girl, and it's alright
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me

Like the speed of sound, or the speed of light
When you say my name, it feels so right
In the middle of the night
When you call my name
Don't worry, it's okay

I love you baby, just treat me right
Hold me closer in the middle of the night
I love you girl, and it's alright
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me

Shadows lyrics - Ryan Adams

I fall, in the cutting room
Straight to the fall, before the film is through
Today in my head, that field of reason why
Come a little closer, honey
And touch the fire

How long do I have here with you?
The flowers that once were a new
Shadows

Heaven waits, in the darkness of a room
And the shaking at the gates,
From here to Timbaktu
Cold front rolls in, like a black balloon
And it sinks into your soul
And you tell it what you knew

How long do I have here with you?
How long do I have here with you?
How long?
The flowers that once were anew
Shadows

The mystery of the stars
That fell from your eyes
Watch it as it burns
Like I'm sitting on fire
That mountain is tall
And you know you'll have to climb
Put your arms around me
And let's go for a ride

How long do I have here with you?
How long do I have here with you?
How long?
The flowers that once were anew
Before the shadows

Feels Like Fire lyrics - Ryan Adams

Are you there?
Screaming in the night
Somewhere
Hanging from the side

Feel the sunlight
The sunlight on my face
It's cold out here
Lost in outer space

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire
Broken glass and wire

See my smile?
I'm thinking of the days
Light reflecting in your eyes
It was never the same

I wanna lie down
I wanna ride in your car
You can take me anywhere
Roll us into heaven I don't care

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire

Just so you know
Don't let anybody tell you
You can't say
What you want
I can hear you
Are you on your way?
The feeling in my chest is fire
It feels like fire
Broken glass and wire
It feels like fire

I feel a scream
Someplace in my chest
And I pour my thoughts
Down the drain in my head

The lens is broke
There ain't no one inside
Staring through the screen
Looking back at my fucking life

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire

Just so you know
Don't let anybody tell you
You can't say
What you want
I can hear you
Are you on your way?
Someone take me home tonight
It feels like fire
It feels like fire
It feels like fire
Broken glass and wire

I Just Might lyrics - Ryan Adams

The light is harsh as it's breaking through the blinds
Shadows on the wall cross my face in black lines
I'm so disconnected at the foot of the bed
Don't know what to say, don't know what I said

Maybe every promise anybody makes is destined for the rocks
The longer it takes
Daylight is so close I can almost taste it
It's all I got, it's not right
Everything is broken in my mind
Ain't no place to run
Ain't no place to hide
Don't wanna lose control
Baby I just might

Black candle, fire on the fuse
Shaking in the wind like a lame excuse
Never leave the house, barely leave the room
Got nothing to say, got nothing to prove

Hell is rising in front of my face
I'm free from desires, I rise above the maze
Every step I take, closer to the sun
Darkness is so loud, surrounding everyone
Ghosts dwell in the streets from a hit and run
Keep your head down
Keep your eyes shut tight
Don't wanna lose control
Baby I just might
Don't wanna lose control
I just might
Don't wanna lose control
I just might
I just might

You make a wish, you want it to come true
But somewhere underneath all the hope is the truth
Prayers go unanswered
You're waiting for the proof
Don't know what to say
Don't what to do

Maybe every promise anybody makes is destined for the rocks
The longer it takes
Daylight is so close I can almost taste it
Don't know what to say, don't know what I said
Everything is broken in my head
Lost out in the darkness, looking for the light
Think I'm gonna run
Baby I just might
I might
I might
I might
I might

Tired Of Giving Up lyrics - Ryan Adams

I'm tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all
Tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all

Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said nothing at all
And I'm tired of giving up

And I'm tired of fighting
I don't understand at all
And I'm tired of lying
Tired of trying to hide it

Tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all
Tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all

Is that all you can say?
You're so wild and full of rage
Keep running away, you're running

Suppose I try to love you
Something I don't know
Sometimes you know there ain't telling you, so don't

I'm tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all
Tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all

Is that all you can say?
You're so wild and full of rage
Keep running away, you're running
You're running, running
Running, running

Let Go lyrics - Ryan Adams

Pink as a rose the sun is fading
Can you feel the darkness that surrounds the house
Plane as the truth my breath is bated
It pinches like a trap shut around the mouse

But down the road 'cause we fell in
But down the road
Hanging round the wish-it-well
It's a slippery slope
And I let go, let go, let go, let go

Away

Driving at night beside the river
Looking at as it's going nowhere
Dark as a room with the light shut out
I'm feeling round the walls for another way out

But down the road 'cause we fell in
But down the road
Hanging round the wish-it-well
It's a slippery slope
And I let go, let go, let go, let go

Cross your fingers behind your back
And lie
Tell me it's okay if you'll fix everything
'Cause I let go

Pink as a rose the sunsets fading
Shattering the light on the oceanside
Standing alone, I am not waiting
Maybe I'm asleep, my heart is paralyzed

Down the road 'cause we fell in
But down the road
Hanging round the wish-it-well
It's a slippery slope
And I let go, let go, let go, let go

Wolves lyrics - Ryan Adams

Another wasted night
And I stare at the ceiling
I'm like a black and white movie
about all these color feeling

And just outside the door
Can you hear the wolves are prowling
Just outside the door
Can you feel the cold it's paralyzing enough
That you shouldn't have to block it too much

I can't read the signs
Dunno what I'm feeling
But I know that you're lying
I know what you're thinking

Just outside the door
Can you hear the wolves are prowling
Just outside the door
Can you hear the wolves they're howling
Just outside the door
Can you see the shadows crawling
Just outside the door
Can you feel the cold it's paralyzing enough
That you wouldn't have to block it too much

Look In The Mirror lyrics - Ryan Adams

Look in the mirror I see a ghost
Can your words call in my throat
Can you things that I don't say
You wouldn't want to anyway
One more feeling and I'll be not sleeping
Won't you wake me up?

Look in the mirror I see the pain
Nothing left to wash it away
I told lies that used to be true
You can't go home when I'm trying to

One more feeling and I'll be not sleeping
Won't you wake me up?
One more feeling and I'll be not sleeping
Won't you wake me up?

"Ashes & Fire" (2011)



Dirty Rain lyrics - Ryan Adams

Last time I was here it was raining
It ain't raining anymore
The streets were drowning
Waters waning
All the ruins washed ashore
Now I'm just looking through the rubble
Trying to find out who we were
Last time I was here it was raining
It ain't raining anymore

Last time I was here you were waiting
You're not waiting anymore
The window's broke and the smoke's escaping
All the books scattered across the floor
And the churchbells are ringing through the sirens
And your coat was full of bullet holes
Last time I was here you were waiting
You're ain't waiting anymore

So may the wind blow
May the moonlight know your name
So let the needle move the record round til the walls cave in
And you and I were out there dancing in the dirty rain

Last time I was here it was raining
Like you ain't never ever seen it rain
And your eyes were filled with terror
And the smoke from the gasoline
As the stars exploded with gunfire
I saw you smiling just before
Last time I was here you were crying
You're not crying anymore

So may the wind blow
May the moonlight know your name
So let the needle move the record round til the walls cave in
You and I out there dancing in the dirty rain

Dirty rain
In the dirty rain

Ashes & Fire lyrics - Ryan Adams

As he stared past the fire,
His hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive,
Her skin smelled like black cherry, blossom perfume,
the sail boats they all sailed by... and a river she cried.

And the wind was suddenly sweeter than Roosevelt pine,
The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke was drifting by,
The bums on the bowery were swallowed in the lights as cars rumbled by in the night...
screaming run for your life.

With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire,
drowned in a river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart... made of ashes and fire.

One day there was a silence and it washed through the town,
and there was no reason to speak so no one made a sound,
her eyes were indigo and the cats were all
Calico and the sail boats they all sailed by... and a river she cried.

With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire,
drowned in a river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart... made of ashes and fire.

Ashes and fire, Ashes and fire, Ashes and fire.

Come Home lyrics - Ryan Adams

You built this house
You built it stone by stone
Hammer in your hand
You build this home

This house is strong
You raised it with your love
A shelter from the winds
From the cold and dark

And nobody has to cry to make it seem real
And nobody has to hide the way that they feel
If you stay right here tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you standing by your side
So come home, come home

You built those walls
To hide your fears inside
We were younger then
It's safe now to come outside

We built this home
On this little piece of land
The sky above is dark
No rain comes in

Nobody has to cry to make it seem real
Nobody has to hide the way that they feel
If you stay right here tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you standing by your side
So come home, come home

As the storm grows stronger, deeper, and wide
My faith's a winding river with no riverside
As the years grow longer I will be here by your side
Ashes to dust and stone by stone
Forever I will always be your love

Nobody has to cry to make it seem real
Nobody has to hide the way that they feel
If you stay right here tomorrow you'll be fine
I will be here for you standing by your side
So come home, come home, come home

Rocks lyrics - Ryan Adams

Whatever it is you know you think you want
Well here's a little something to light the way
Inside your heart where the darkness stays
I believe the sun still rises here but when it falls
I'm not sure what there is to say
Flickers in mine eye like a memory

I am not rocks
I am not rain
I'm just another shadow in the stream
That's been washed away after all these years
I am not rocks in the river
I am bursting in tears for it

And the day is dawning

Whatever it is you wanted I think you got
But take a little something to light the way
Inside your mind when the weather is gray
I believe the sun still rises here but when it falls
There is something to be said for the calm at night
When the stars up above are so cold and bright

I am not rocks
I am not rain
I'm just another shadow in the stream
That's been washed away after all these years
I am not rocks in the river
I am bursting in tears for it

And the day is dawning
And the day is dawning

Do I Wait lyrics Ryan Adams

Do I want to say the things that I say
When I know that they are wrong?
Do I wait here forever for you?
Could you ask me to?

I've been waiting here all night
If you're not going to show
We're not going to fight
I could stay forever if I tried
Surrounded by things
Like a shadow in the light

Do I try and stay still for you?
And the clouds will part here
An emptiness of the room
Do you watch me from the corner of your eye?
Do we say goodbye?

I waited in the wings for you to appear
But you're never coming back
And we're never going to feel
Like we did
I waited all night
I tried to let you go
Like a shadow in the light
The light

Do I wait?
Do I wait for you?
Do I wait?
Do I wait for you?

Do I wait here forever for you?
Did you ask me to?

Chains Of Love lyrics - Ryan Adams

Walk away slowly
You don't have to take this
In the spaces in between
Sadness on the faces

I could see the chains of love
The chains
Talking about the chains of love
Can't take us away

Storms are brewing in your heart
I don't want to waste it
Better to have tried it all
Least we got to taste it

Locked up in the chains of love
We change
Caught up in the chains of love
Can't take us away

Clouds moving over the house
I think about those days
Wish I had something to relax my mind
Send me off to heaven I've got nothing but time

Lightning in the sky above
Blink and see the traces
And everything you are to me
Is bigger than the spaces

Between us and the chains of love
The chains
Locked up in the chains of love
They can't take us away
Can't take us away
Can't take us away
Can't take us away

Invisible Riverside lyrics - Ryan Adams

Guess I'll show my hand
Either way I'm losing
You still have the goods
Back when I couldn't use them
Standing by the ocean
Like I'm frozen here in time

So don't let go, don't change your mind
If the stars fall into the oceanside
Someone pull the ribbons from my eyes free
My soul
Let it roll away
On an invisible riverside

I didn't travel far
But my feet were moving
Couldn't read the signs
They were too confusing
Standing by the ocean
Sunset boulevard

So don't let go, don't change your mind
If the stars fall into the oceanside
Someone pull the ribbons from my eyes free
My soul
Let it roll away
On an invisible riverside

I wanna lay my head
Forever on your shoulder
Stay with me my love
Now and when we're older
Standing on the ocean
We got nothing now but time

Yea so don't let go, don't change your mind
If the stars fall into the oceanside
Someone pull the ribbons from my eyes free
My soul
Let it roll away
On an invisible riverside

Save Me lyrics - Ryan Adams

What am I doing here?
In the setting sun
With the windows down
What am I?
Like a breaking bell
Ringing like a sigh
What am I doing here?
What am I?

Somebody save me
It's just too much pain
If someone can save me
From the morning, I will remain
Somebody save me
Save me...

In the early dawn
With your heavy bend
And your careless heart
Where you been?
From the windows of
Just another midnight bar
You remember everything
Everything's so far

Somebody save me
I just can't go on
If someone don't save me
By the morning I will be gone
By the morning I will be gone
Somebody save me
Save me...

What am I doing here?

Kindness lyrics - Ryan Adams

If you're so kind can you let down your hand?
Can you let down your hand if you're so kind?
If you're so strong can you shelter the weak?
Will you listen as the strangers speak?
Bring them calm?

Kindness don't ask for much but an open mind
Kindness can cure a broken heart
Honey, I ain't feeling kind

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?

If you're so kind can you let down your hand?
Will you try and understand when it goes wrong?
Days come and gone and it's been said and been done
I will shelter you with my love and my forgiveness

Kindness don't ask for much but an open mind
Kindness can cure a broken heart
Honey, I ain't feeling kind

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?

Kindness don't ask for much but an open mind
Kindness can cure a broken heart
Honey, I ain't feeling kind

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?

Lucky Now lyrics - Ryan Adams

I don’t remember, were we wild and young
All that’s faded into memory
I feel like somebody I don’t know
Are we really who we used to be
Am I really who I was

The lights will draw you in
And the dark will bring you down
And the night will break your heart
Only if you’re lucky now

Waiting outside while you find your keys
Like bags of trash in the blackening snow
City of neon and toes that freeze
We got nothing and nowhere to go
We got nothing and nowhere

The lights will draw you in
And the dark will take you down
And the night will break your heart
Only if you’re lucky now

If the lights draw you in
And the dark can take you down
Then love can mend your heart
But only if you’re lucky now

I don’t remember, were we wild and young
All that’s faded into memory
I feel like somebody I don’t know
Are we really who we used to be
Am I really who I was

I Love You But I Don't Know What To Say lyrics - Ryan Adams

We belong here, we belong here
Ain’t nobody that can tell us we’re wrong
Help me say, say this to you
I’ll stand by your side, to see you through

I promise you that I’ll keep you safe from harm
I’ll love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you but I don’t know what to say

I was lost, I was lost
Tried to find the balance, got caught up in the cost
Let it go, when I met you
All the clouds parted, all that light came shining through

I promise you I will keep you safe from harm
And love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say

I promise you that I will keep you safe from harm
And love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say

Breakdown Into The Resolve lyrics - Ryan Adams

Hi, hello, its me again, don't worry ill talk slow
Wow, you probably heard I went away
Where do we start from?
I know
From the breakdown, into the fold
The breakdown, another black hole
Like a shadow in the light, stand up and be counted
I was born to be betrayed, it's clear that I'm clearly afraid of
So its one for every year
Its pitiful what I hold dear, I throw away
And so, it still comes and goes
It's better now, that I get these bad ideas, I get my dreams confused....wishes
bad ideas, bad ideas to lie me down and get into the resolve
I forgot, how long it was since I had a thought that wasn't
Dark yet I know I hate myself a lot
The breakdown into the fold
Breakdown, another black hole
Like a shadow in the night
The shows over shows over
I was born to be afraid, alright
And so, its one for every year its pitiful what I hold dear, I throw away
No, it still comes and goes
It's better but I get these bad ideas
I get my dreams confused with my wishes
Bad ideas
Bad ideas
To lie me down and get into the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve

Dear Candy lyrics - Ryan Adams

I was never near
just a shadow on your walls
I was never here at all.

Dear Candy...

I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.

Dear Candy...

This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.

You were never mine.
I was never yours.

Whoah, Candy.
Oh, Candy.

Do you see me in your dreams?
Do you whisper my name?
Do you hear when my static rings in your ears?
Candy

I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.

Dear Candy...

This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.
I was never here at all.
Oh, Candy

Wasteland lyrics - Ryan Adams

There's evidence now that's somebody's lying
And things to work out bout nobody's trying
I wish I didn't care anymore, as if you cared what I was feeling

Look at all the stars, watch them colliding
These Stars fighting in their secret wars

Underneath the dirt whatever i was hiding
is turning into dust the dust is still rising
I wish I didn't care anymore, but you know I care so little

it's like I see the stars, watch them colliding
These Stars fighting in their secret wars
Before, before it was inviting, now I'm bored
you don't impress me and I find you slightly terrifying

It's your wasteland you have it

Ultraviolet Light lyrics - Ryan Adams

This is the silence so nobody understand
Iced ocean leaves our ships just sliding in
Could forming, lighting shooting from it's hands
Sky's on fire, make a wish and use it quick my friend

Come on, come on, come on
Let's go it's getting darker
Come on, come on, come on, come on let's go...
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Before my wish expires
Something bad is on the horizon
Shining ultraviolet light

I see you hovering oblivious to air
The laws of nature don't apply, don't apply to her
No wonder that the world came to an end
There was another on the other side
Inside her head

Come on, come on, come on
Let's go it's getting darker
Come on, come on, come on, come on let's go...
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Before my wish expires
Something bad is on the horizon
Shining ultraviolet light

Shining ultraviolet light

Slow violence only radiates the sand
Delete your messages and...
Come on, come on, come on
Ultraviolet light's know the best way in
Don't wake the monsters in my head
Tip toe they're sleeping in

Come on, come on, come on
Let's go it's getting darker
Come on, come on, come on, come on let's go...
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Before my wish expires
Something bad is on the horizon
Shining ultraviolet light

This was a wish, this was a wish I made...
This was a wish, this was a wish I made...
This was a wish, this was a wish I made...
This was a wish, this was a wish I made...
This was a wish....
Now here comes the light...
Now here comes the light...
Here comes the light...

Stop Playing With My Heart lyrics - Ryan Adams

Stop dragging my heart around
Stop acting, stop fucking around
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win...

Stop asking if I'm with her
Stop it now before you get what you deserve
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win...
Alright, already you win...

Stop it I'm tired, and I want to go to bed
Stop it I'm half undressed, so get out or get in
Stop it I'm not impressed...
So just stop it, just stop it, just stop it....
Stop playing my head...
Alright, already you win...

Stop it I'm not impressed...
So just stop it, just stop it, just stop it....
Stop playing my head...
Alright, already you win...

Stop dragging my heart around
Stop acting, stop fucking around
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win...
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win...
Stop playing, stop playing with my heart

Lovely And Blue lyrics - Ryan Adams

So glad that you found someone
Someone and so fast
It's time to let go of someone
And put it to rest
But I don't feel sorry for you
Not sorry at all
No I don't feel sorry for him or for her
My world is gonna revolve
It's gonna keep spinning around me, doll
The world where no one belongs to her
And you're the one she thinks she wants
It's true, she's lovely and blue

So now that it's underground
And they're talking too fast
Whatever that they're talking about, it's not me,
It's all in the past
And I don't feel sorry for you
I'm not sorry at all
No I don't feel sorry, in fact just the opposite
My world is gonna revolve
It's gonna keep spinning around me
The world where no one belongs to her
And you're the one she wants
My world
My world is gonna revolve
It's gonna to keep spinning round me, doll
The world where no one belongs to her
And you're the one she thinks she wants
She thinks, she wants, the world
The world she thinks she wants
It's hers and you'll never get through
Oh god it's so true
It's true,
It's true, she so lovely and blue

Happy Birthday lyrics - Ryan Adams

I told everybody I was late
But I was hiding in the back
Hiding in the back my hands would shake
Happy Birthday I'm your birthday cake

And I'm lit, and I'm baked
And I'm tired, I tried to escape
From the fight, I got untied
I was wrong, you were right...
I was wrong, you were right...
Happy Birthday

I told everybody I was clean
But I had clouds in my bath
Listening to music, reading poetry
Nodding off and nearly drowning myself

And it's clear you're clearly upset
Wanna smoke, but my smokes are all wet
I've got two, both of them lit
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday
I'm your birthday cake and I'm lit...

Kisses Start Wars lyrics - Ryan Adams

First things first, straight out of the box
it's time to open your presents babe
here's a family full of light I know it's not much
This one is mine, I keep it with me all the time like a crutch
Like something ancient passed down from a father
something that nobody can touch

A kiss away from seeing the stars
you and I we are always on the way
on the way or in between the bars
and those kisses, those kisses they're lost

But don't worry baby
it's not you,
this can't be as crazy
and these kisses start the wars

I got to taste her sleepin'
but like junkies hate the blood
like drunks with all their missin' cigarettes
in apartments with skulls and blacked out windows

Artificial flowers and T.V. remote controls
I get lost, things change people don't
people don't, things change no

A kiss away from seeing the stars
you and I we are always on the way
on the way or in between the bars
and those kisses, those kisses they're lost

But don't worry baby
it's not you,
this can't be as crazy

Oh don't, don't worry baby
it's not you, this can't be as crazy
yeah these kisses start the wars
these kisses start the wars

The Crystal Skull lyrics - Ryan Adams

I make reservations at the Crystal Skull for me...
For me, and Scarlet, and a a friend of hers
I'm not gonna lie to you it only gets worse
She gets so disconnected when her glass is too full

And Scarlet gets bombed
And Scarlet gets high and she breaks into song
Scarlet gets loud, Scarlet gets lost
And the gloves come off
And she's like this every night...
Down at the Crystal Skull
The Crystal Skull is open all night

I think I was ready for a quiet night...
A quiet night of talking we ended up...
Ended up, ended up downtown
'Cause Scarlet's thirsty inside
She's a fisherman who drains the ocean first...
And then decides

And Scarlet gets bombed
And Scarlet gets high and she breaks into song
Scarlet gets loud, Scarlet gets angry
And Scarlet is so tired...
She's been swimming for awhile...
Nobody reaches shore riding the crimson tide

Down at the Crystal Skull...
The Crystal Skull
The Crystal Skull
The Crystal Skull is open all night...
Is open all night

And Scarlet's ready to go out tonight
Go out tonight
Go out tonight
Scarlet's ready to go out...
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Scarlet's ready to go out...
Tonight

Users lyrics - Ryan Adams

I try so hard to be good
I get these bad ides
I try so hard to be good
It doesn't always work out
It doesn't always work out
But I try...

To feel the sunlight on my eyes
Shake off the shadows
That were following me around
It's very nice you know and quite a lot to take in
To feel the sunlight and start growing again

I taught myself to push it away
I was watching, watching you do it to me
I taught myself to throw it away

And you get used to being happy
you get used to it, used to it, used to it...

I like to thing about the clouds...
How they are moving
Sometimes it's nice to stay home...
When everybody goes out
It's nice and quiet when they call it's so loud
I don't understand

I shuffle cool across the boulevard
My feet move steady, my shoes go up and down
I'm always late you know...
Late and never ready
I keep it steady though
When I get tight and all up right

I taught myself to push it away
I was watching, watching you do it to me
I taught myself to throw it away

And you get used to being happy
you get used to it, used to it, used to it...

Make no mistake to be user don't mean loser
Witty and cruel they are so easy to confuse
You'll learn eventually or...
Eventually you'll lose it...
Eventually you'll lose it...
Get used to it...

No lyrics - Ryan Adams

No silence, no sound
No feeling, on and on and on and on...
Go under and go down again and on and on...

No pressure, no talk
No heartbeat, R-E-S-P-O-N-S-E
I go under and go down again and on and on....

Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
Is not, is not, is not...
Nobody understands and it's all I got

No violence profound...
As violence, I act out against myself
When I go under and down again and on and on...

No wonder I fell
Nobody was underneath me there to catch me
When I go under and down again and on and on...

Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
Is not, is not, is not...
Nobody understands and it's all I got

So liar, stand up
So liar, stand up
Stand up

Numbers lyrics - Ryan Adams

Here comes your song, it's on the radio
Here comes your song, here comes your song
Everybody in the backseat, come and sing along

We're fucked, we're fucked
There's been an accident, somebody stole your face
We're fucked, we're fucked
You were always something else, there's nothing to replace

You got some shit to throw out
You got some numbers to erase

Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Ringing all night, it's slower than the bar
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
How do you spell
Look way around or replace those numbers?

Here comes your song, it's on the stereo
So turn it on, so turn it up
Everybody in the backseat's about to throw up

We're fucked, we're fucked
There's been a tragedy, hardly words remind us, baby
We're fucked, we're fucked
Fuck, you walked in a piece, this isn't war and peace

You were always good enough
There was nothing to replace
You got some shit to throw out
You got some numbers to erase

You got names to forget
Plus some people to call
There was nothing to replace
You've been good enough all along

You just got settled in
And you wanna get down
And feel like you are loved
Feel like you are loved

Nobody's mad at you
These people love you
And they wanna see you are bein' strong
Wanna see you are bein' strong

So lose no numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers

So lose no numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers

So lose the numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers

So lose the numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
The names and the phone

Here comes your song, it's on the stereo
Here comes your song, it's on the radio
Here comes your song, here comes your song

We're fucked, we're fucked
And hung up alone

Gracie lyrics - Ryan Adams

Hello Gracie you're a good little girl
it's a beautiful world oh when you're out in it
Last time I saw you playing in the yard
You were running with children and the old people were smiling
Do you miss me would you know me at all?
If you walked by my house would you smile and turn the corner?
Blow your kisses oh make it feel worse
you know you gotta make the best of the time got has given you

I scratch your name into a wall on the beach with my keys on the side of the pier
I used to sleep so I would dream I was lying with you mid-summer
in the grass in the fields

Nobody was right Nobody was wrong, but somebody had to go
Nobody is here so nobody is gone, hello, goodbye, hello
hello, hello, hello

I scratch your name in my arm with my keys on the beach on the side of the pier
I keep your picture in a frame on the wall of my place
down the block far enough away it's like I'm not here

You're in my heart and you're in my soul, so I have to let you go
You're in my heart and you're in my soul, but I gotta let you go
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go
Hello, Hello, Hello I gotta let you go
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I gotta let you go

Icebreaker lyrics - Ryan Adams

I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Don't see it, don't see it at all

I don't see them, they're lookin' for me
I don't see them, they don't see me
Guess it was invisible

Ice
The ice
Ice
Ice, ice, ice
Icicle, icicle

I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Don't panic, they know you are numb

I don't see them, they're looking for me
I don't see them, they don't see me
Guess it was invisible

Ice, ice, ice
Ice, ice, ice
Icicle, icicle

There's too many lights in here
And I don't understand
I don't understand
Where I'm goin', whether I'm dead

There's too many lights in here
And I don't understand
I think I hear an angel singin'

Hear an angel softly beside you
Hear an angel ?? anymore
Underneath the ice, beneath all, you died twice

I don't see you walkin' past me
I don't see you, don't hear you
??

I don't hear them, they're lookin' for me
I don't hear them, they don't hear me
Underneath the icicle

The ice
Ice, ice , ice

I don't see you've gone past me
I don't see it, don't see it
Don't see it, don't see it at all

Sewers At The Bottom Of The Wishing Well lyrics - Ryan Adams

No time to explain
Always hopeless in a hurry
There's no one to blame
For an empty heart

Well, well, well
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change our way out
Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well

My heart isn't black
It's just dirty from the floors
Nobody walks across
Nobody walks across or sleeps on anymore

Well, well, well
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change, oh well
Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
Wishing well
Wishing well
At the bottom of the wishing well

No one left to blame
No body to dismember
Just a shadow on the floor
A shadow on the floor
From a light that wasn't on, oh well
Well, well
Nothing's gonna change
Oh well
Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
The bottom of the wishing well
Wishing well
At the bottom of the wishing well
Oooh
Oooh
Oh

Typecast lyrics - Ryan Adams

you and I we were born to play these parts and we play them so well
so well and often sometimes you and I forget you know who we really are
it keeps me locked into the deal

Binary stars, companions in the sky always in orbit but never to collide
we're just not going supernova any time soon
we're just two stars out under the moon

Typecast, we play losers who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
Typecast, what a show, why won't they cancel us?
we got a million more seasons to go
oh no, oh yes, we've been typecast

every shadow I knew you underneath was just a studio trick, a spotlight on the stage
black bottles to simulate the depth
to manipulate the young and naive and hide your age

we're worse than liars we're paid to be fixed
ghost lights in our living rooms for in-between matinées
two lonely stars someplace beyond the moon where the light is coming from
but never receiving or getting any

We're typecast, we play losers who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
Typecast, what a show, why won't they cancel us?
oh come on, typecast, we play losers who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
Typecast, what a show, why won't they cancel us?
We've been typecast, yeah we've been typecast

Star Wars lyrics - Ryan Adams

All I want, all I want, all I want is a girl
Someone that cares enough about me
That she refuses to react
When I act like I don't care about her

Ice-packs for my shiners
Though you're on my nerves
Someone smart enough to click me back together
?? simple and suede and still evadable

Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Well, I don't know

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone I love and who loves me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, that and maybe the world
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Someone that loves me the way of
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars

All I want, all I want, all I want is the chance
Someone with lasers and mirrors for eyes
Catching radio waves of Valium plants

That can dance to the music
And hover in the air
Someone that makes me feel at home whenever
Today, tomorrow, you get it forever

Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Well, I don't know

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone I love and who loves me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, that and maybe the world
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Someone that loves me the way of
Star Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars

My Favorite Song lyrics - Ryan Adams

My favorite song, don't know how it goes
It's temperamental like the static coming over the radio
When I signal to her satellite, nobody is home
And oh, she's never in danger and never met a stranger

Heaven and earth, body and soul
Tell me that you miss me now that I'm gone
Like a book in a fireplace, too hot to read
All hot and on fire, let's go to sleep

By the way, I'm free tonight
If you wanna go out and see a movie or something
You're my favorite

My favorite songs go by, people stare
You know they need a lot of oxygen and like to wash their hair
And I can build a telephone out of tin cans
So we can have some conversations across the string nobody understands
Say what?

Heaven and earth, body and soul
Tell me that you miss me now that I'm gone
Crosses in a field, strange men with huge hats
Two guitars and one violin
In rented black suits with the wrong size on
They try to play it, but they get it all wrong
Three different keys at once, that's my favorite
That's my favorite song

Hey, I'm free tonight
If you wanna go out and see a movie
And don't call me pal
OK, bye
You're my favorite
You're my favorite
You're my favorite

So don't give up
Don't give up

P.S. lyrics - Ryan Adams

P.S. I ain't never comin' back, I ain't never comin' back here again
it's over we're through
don't ask someone to change, don't ask someone to change
again until you know what you want them to change into
backed up against the wall, somehow you're still shining through

And by the way, I'm so sorry that I let you down
By the way, it's true
but anyway, someone's always gonna let you down
if not me, then who?

P.S. I'm so sorry that I let you down again
I'm so sorry that I let you down...

This is gonna haunt your dreams,
this is gonna haunt your dreams when you sleep to me
Don't ask someone to change, don't ask someone to change
until you want to around that mirror back on your own face

Backed up against the wall, somehow you're still shining through

And by the way, I'm so sorry that I let you down
By the way, it's true
but anyway, someone's always gonna let you down
anyway, if not me, then who?
P.S. I'm so sorry that I let you down again
I'm so sorry that I let you down
P.S. I'm so sorry that I let you down again
I'm so sorry that I let you down again

"Cardinology" (2008)



I Taught Myself How To Grow Old lyrics - Ryan Adams

Poor little rose, beaten by the rain
In the wind in the gale, thunder and the hail
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane
Without the numbness or the pain so intense to feel
Especially now it added up through the years

And I, I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Now I'm crooked on the outside, and the inside's broke

Most of the time I got nothing to say
When I do it's nothing and nobody's there to listen anyway
I know I'm probably better off this way
I just listen to the voices on the TV 'til I'm tired
My eyes grow heavy and I fade away

'Cause I, I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
'Til I was crooked on the outside
I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
'Til I was crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
I taught myself how to grow old

Nobody Listens To Silence lyrics - Ryan Adams

Nobody listens to silence like your girl
Whitening margins
Mouthing the words
Letters flying fast
Turning into words
Sweeping the floor
Making room
Pulling up the carpet
Staples and all
The newspapers underneath
And over shards of broken glass
Pushed up into the corner with your foot
Just in case your girl got up and
Decided to dance
Gave you a moment to collect yourself
Took your hand and awake with the second guess
You lose your spot
In your long line of losses
No second chances and
Your dreams go sweaty and your brow
Enter the pit with no bottom under it
While she fucks him like a fucking machine
Greased to the bolts till the bolts come up
And her dress goes slam torn from the seam to her leg
Listenin to her saying it's name and beg
Nobody listens to silence like your girl
Without your ear to the door and eye to the keyhole
And into the floor smashed like a train on the side of a bridge
Suitcase burning orange lines over the underpass
People on the telephones
And people to answer
Hair dye smudged on the sides of the tub
All bets of the years
On the crest of her forehead her mother used to kiss
And you got to school you're broken up
Your signal went static
And your killer confessed
Your soda went flat
And your arm went numb
And you smoked until your voice went all stinking and rough
And bugs in the kitchen
So fuck between the lines
Looking for the highlights
She loves him like her man
Smoking cigarettes with him
On the edge of the bed

Nobody listens to silence like your girl
Nobody listens to silence like your girl
Nobody listens to silence like your girl
Nobody listens to silence

single: "Wonderwall" (2004)



Wonderwall lyrics - Ryan Adams

(originally by Oasis)

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna give it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never bring it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding
There are many things that I
would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
You're my wonderwall
You're my wonderwall

I Want To Go Home lyrics - Ryan Adams

Oh my baby I'm so very tired
And I wanna come home
Everything inside me, it cant hide me I'm expired
I got nothing to show
Whatever's on the outsides knocking, ya better let it in
Whatever's on the insides dying out
Am I gonna lose your love?
Am I gonna lose your love?
Am I gonna lose your love?
Am I gonna lose your love?
Once upon a time my life was sweet, and I was walking with you
I'm on empty, emptier than what I was I lost
At the the end of the street
Whatever's on the outsides knocking, ya better let it in
Whatever's on the insides dying out
Am I gonna lose your love?
Am I gonna lose your love?
Am I gonna lose your love?
Am I gonna lose your love?
Am I gonna lose your love?
Am I gonna lose your love?
Oh my baby I'm so very tired and I wanna come home
Oh my baby I'm so very tired and I wanna come home
Oh my baby I'm so very tired and I wanna come home

Suspicion lyrics - Ryan Adams

Ain't it like the sun to never shine
And leave you in the dark
Ain't it like the ones we left behind
Or were they moving on
Getting used to all alone
Just pretending you was here
Voices tearing through the halls
Get used to it kid

Suspicion, shame on the things we did
Suspicion, stealing and lying to prove
Suspicion, it's cold and dark as a well
But it's just suspicion

Ain't it like the gals who want to kiss
To be a friend to you
Ain't it like the string of consequence
To put the faith in you
All I want to do is buy some time
For the sake of memory
All I want to do is to try
To hold on to these things

Suspicion, haunting the streets of time
Suspicion, boys they really got us this time
Suspicion, it's cold and dark as a well
Suspicion

For all the things we need
We only want the ones
We couldn't seem to keep
We hurt the ones we love
We hurt the ones we love
We hurt the ones we love
Get used to it kid

Suspicion, haunting the streets of time
Suspicion, boy they really got us this time
Suspicion, shame on the things we did

My Blue Manhattan lyrics - Ryan Adams

My blue Manhattan,
She's angry like a child, but how sweet
Fire and rain on the street,
It's you against me most days
It's me against you, doll.

The snow is coming down
On the cars in midtown.
Stone cold in sheets with you all over me,
Ain't that sweet, my little gal?
Ain't that sweet, my little gal?

My blue Manhattan,
She cusses with her sailor's mouth
And fire and rain on the streets
It's you against me most days
It's me against you, doll.

Making snow angels in the gravel and the dirt
Crawling like a spider,
And I'm somewhere inside her
Too hurt to move, too hurt to move
My blue Manhattan.

Fuck The Universe lyrics - Ryan Adams

Slowly, coming over me
Like fire and ice
Confusion all to the ground

Stone me like you own me
The strangest moving patterns
All flow through this city

Strummin' as she's cumin'
She starts a revolution
But never shows up

So holy, give me coma
Alkaline and mainframes
Into a kiss

Cities destroyed and so pretty
The patterns of illusion
Burn through the ground

And I'm a faker, faker
I'm a faker, I'm a faker, I'm a faker
Vampire, coffins to kiss

I'm a faker, I'm a faker
Morning may crawl
Fuck you and fuck the universe

Fuck the universe
Fuck the universe
Fuck the universe

Twice As Bad As Love lyrics - Ryan Adams

Candy is quick and she's good at impressions
She's stacked on the corner, man, she's stacked on the street
They don't make pills for that kind of depression
Counting her friends on her hands and her feet
You let it roll right through your fingertips, babe
Running as hard and as fast as you could
Mainlining paint in some place in New Jersey
Misunderstanding what was misunderstood
And that's twice as bad as love, oh
Twice as bad as love, and not that sad
Twice as bad as love
Once to be heard, twice to be had

She imagines herself as a saint or a poet
Stealing the words from a book that she borrowed
We show her some fuck that she met in the projects
Yeah, but he made her feel like she belonged
You let it roll right through your fingertips, Candy
Got a blast from the skin said it tasted like paint
Stealing her money for ancient prescriptions
Misunderstanding that it's kind of cool to be late
And it's twice as bad as love
Twice as bad as love, but not that sad
Twice as bad as love

Once to be heard, twice to be had
Once to be heard, twice to be had
