Anything But Gone - Trevor Holmes

I light your cigarettes I bring you apples from the vine How quickly you forget I run the bath and pour the wine I bring you everything that floats into your mind But you don't bring me anything but down No you don't bring me anything but down You don't bring me anything but down When you come around You are a raging sea I pull myself out everyday I plea insanity 'Cause I can't leave and I can't stay You say, won't you come find me and yes is what I say You don't bring me anything but down No you don't bring me anything but down Everything is crashing to the ground Maybe I'm not your perfect kind Maybe I'm not what you had in mind And maybe we're just killing time You with your silky words And your eyes of green and blue You with your steel beliefs That don't match anything you do It was so much easier before you became you Now you don't bring me anything but down No you don't bring me anything but down Now everything just crashes to the ground When you come around When you come around No more playing seek and hide No more long and wasted nights Can't you make it easy on yourself I know you wish you were strong You wish you were never wrong Well, I got some wishes of my own

C'mere to me, I wish I was a mayfly on the River Tay I'd fit all my joys and my pleasures in one perfect day I wish I was the sunlight, just sitting on the Mississippi I'd settle for a shopping trolley in the Liffey In a shot, I'd swap my body for a body of water Worry the cliff side top as a wave crashing over I'd lower the world in a flood, or better yet I'd cause a drought If I was a rip tide, I wouldn't take you out I don't wanna be anything But I would do anything just to run away I don't wanna be anything like this at all But I would do everything if you'd hear me say Oh, yeah, hey Go look another way Yeah, hey Look another way Look, I wanna be loud, so loud, I'm talking seismic I wanna be soft as a single stone in a rainstick I wanna be the thunder of a hundred thousand hooves moving quick If I was a stampede, you wouldn't get a kick I wanna be the shadow when my bright future's behind me I wanna be the last thing anybody ever sees I hear he touches your hand, and then you fly away together If I had his job, you would live forever I don't wanna be anything, love But I would do anything just to run away I don't wanna be anything like this at all But I would do everything if you hear me say Oh, yeah, hey Go look another way Yeah, hey Look another way I don't wanna be anything, be anything But I would do anything (Go look another way) I don't wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be Don't wanna be anything, anything Oh, yeah, hey Go look another way (I don't wanna be anything) Yeah, hey Look another way

Walking along beneath the lights of that miracle mile Me and Mary making our way into the night You can hear the cries from the carnival rides The pinball bells, and the skee ball slots Watching the summer sun fall out of sight There's a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean Making it's way past the hotel walls to fill the street Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hand Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet And in the morning I'm leaving Making my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope that I will do just fine And I don't see how you could ever be Anything but mine There's a local band playing at the seaside pavilion And I got just enough cash to get us in And as we are dancing, Mary's wrapping her arms around me And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin In the midst of the music I tell her I love her And we both laugh, 'cause we know it isn't true Oh, but Mary, there's a summer drawing to an end tonight And there's so much that I long to do to you But in the morning I'm leaving Making my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope that I will do just fine And I don't see how you could ever be Anything but mine And in the morning I'm leaving Making my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope that I will do just fine And I don't see how you could ever be Anything but mine Mary, I don't see how you could ever be Anything but mine In the morning I'm leaving Making my way back to Cleveland So tonight I hope that I will do just fine Hey, I don't see how you could ever be Anything but mine
