Gale's Apartment - Brian Tyler

I feel good inside my apartment Feel good inside you too, I Hope that theres someone besides you 'Cause look what you're making me do And I'm leaving it up to you I'm leaving it up to you, girl Leaving it up to you Leaving it up to you Girl, I've lost control I hear that you're breaking the silence Hear that you're back in my town, I Hope that there's someone besides this Really been bringing me down And I feel like it's up to you Feel like it's up to you, now Feel like it's up to you Feel like it's up to you Oh, I've lost control

The first time I saw you was in your apartment I had followed my friends single-file through the darkness I looked your direction for excessive inspection And I could not muster the courage to say a single word to you For a while we were playing this game that your friends bought But everyone cheated and no one could spell You didn't say much of anything I must have come off annoying, cause you went to bed I walk home with my eyes low Dreaming up conversations we'll have tomorrow Your loose ends, my new friends All the classes in high school we fell asleep in But now I can hardly close my eyes The next time I saw you was in your apartment Oh, why do I keep ending up here on starlit evenings? I should be home sleeping But this time you sat next to me on the couch (Dude, nice!) I stare out the window Hands glued tight and sore Praying to God-knows-what That you would sever what's stuck With something shiny from the kitchen drawer I walk home with my eyes low Dreaming up conversations we'll have tomorrow Your loose ends, my new friends All the classes in high school we fell asleep in But now I can hardly close my eyes I was wondering if, maybe, you wanted to hang out tonight We could make dinner or something

I know we been thinkin' about The same thing, same thing So dive in, deep 'til we drown Breathe out, and breathe in Head underwater, keep holdin' me down Playin' with fire, please don't put me out We've waited way too long, want you right now Anything you want, anything you want Sign your name across my body Lose your innocence I can feel it leave your body Three in the morning If you wanna blame it on me Heat of the moment We could fuck up my apartment We're just getting started, uh-huh You can't lie, I know how you feel about me, about me, yeah You're nervous, tonight isn't real But don't be (but don't be) Head underwater, keep holdin' me down Playin' with fire, please don't put me out We've waited way too long, want you right now Anything you want, anything you want Sign your name across my body Lose your innocence I can feel it leave your body Three in the morning If you wanna blame it on me Heat of the moment We could fuck up my apartment We're just getting started, uh-huh We could fuck up my apartment Apartment, apartment We could fuck up my apartment Apartment, apartment, uh-huh Sign your name across my body Lose your innocence I can feel it leave your body Three in the morning If you wanna blame it on me Heat of the moment We could fuck up my apartment We're just getting started Sign your name across my body Lose your innocence I can feel it leave your body Three in the morning If you wanna blame it on me Heat of the moment We could fuck up my apartment We're just getting started, uh-huh We could fuck up my apartment Apartment, apartment We could fuck up my apartment Apartment, apartment, uh-huh

I looked across the room, thinking 'bout better days I stopped just as I saw your face I got a feeling so enticing Five drinks down I spun I tried to say something but I stopped For reasons of anxiety It's tough when I'm an easy target I wanted to say, "Don't leave, can you stay?" Now you're on your way to get to your apartment She was by herself He was someone else again When you say goodbye, I'm Hoping that I didn't fucking waste your time And one day, I'll see your apartment Staring at my shoes Wishing that I dressed like you Black jeans, Converse, hand tattoos My time was up before it started (started) She was by herself, he was someone else Told me how she felt Lonely, could you tell? I wanted to say, "Don't leave, can you stay?" Now you're on your way to get to your apartment She was by herself He was someone else again When you say goodbye, I'm Hoping that I didn't fucking waste your time And one day, I'll see your apartment How's life? Could be better, how's yours? I wish I could sleep in I'm just gonna be home for the weekend She asked, "Do you regret going out when we met? I still wear your crew neck" Smiled and left me speechless I wanted to say, "Don't leave, can you stay?" Now you're on your way to get to your apartment She was by herself He was someone else again When you say goodbye, I'm Hoping that I didn't fucking waste your time And one day, I'll see your apartment Staring at my shoes, wishing that I dressed like you Black jeans, Converse, hand tattoos My time was up before it started Six drinks down, I'm fine, 7 Up and cheap red wine Hoping that I didn't fucking waste your time And one day, I'll see your apartment

And she runs through her days With a smile on her face And she runs, and she waits And I wait We can drive to anyplace Day and night to cross the state, And in the morning, into Mexico We will wake up Mmmm, we will wake up, We will, yeah I will be with her yeah Yeah I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath I stumble in the hallway, outside her bedroom door I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice She pulls her covers tighter, I press against the door I will be with her tonight yeah I will be with her tonight I will be with her tonight yeah I will be with her tonight I will be with her yeah I will be with her yeah

Round' here lately it's been rough Too much heartbreak not enough love I've been doubtin' if I'll ever find myself again And I worry I won't ever be enough Oooh I've been searching for the truth And then I tell myself Whatever don't kill makes you tough Can't tap out when the times gets rough I know it ain't easy but the only way that we get stronger Is get a little burnt yeah take a little fall Hurts like hell when you're goin' through it all Get knocked down but we get back up Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Aw yeah I've been beat up black and blue I've been broke a time or two I've had nothing left to lose But then my faith pulled me through No more searching for the truth And now I tell myself Whatever don't kill you makes you tough Can't tap out when the times gets rough I know it ain't easy but the only way that we get stronger Is get a little burnt yeah take a little fall Hurts like hell when you're goin' through it all Get knocked down but we get back up Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough We fall down we get up It's how we do it where we from We got us we got love We tough We fall down we get up It's how we do it where we from We got us we got love We tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough Can't tap out when the times gets rough I know it ain't easy but the only way that we get stronger Is get a little burnt yeah take a little fall Hurts like hell when you're goin' through it all Get knocked down but we get back up Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough We tough we tough

In a small corner bar he sits there a'drinkin' Lost as a ball in a field full of corn Further away than he ever imagined That he'd ever end up from the place he was born Now no more forlorn has a Creeker drank whiskey Than the one that you see out the side of your eye Drinkin' alone as he looks out the window At all of the strangers on the corner outside And he'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When he was a kid, Lord he'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down Now they knew not his name and he knew not their faces And he knew not the how nor the reason for why You could ever wake up and wanna keep on a'livin' In a place where a friend was such a hard thing to find And for e'ryone ya meet there's a whole mess of people Tryin' like hell to pull you on down To the level they're on and the trouble they're tendin' In the mess that they've made in the gutter they found And he'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When he was a kid, Lord he'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down Some fellas do drugs and things of that nature Some fellas chase girls to hang on their arm Some fellas get by on practically nothin' Some fellas get pissed in a small corner bar And they'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When they were all kids, Lord they'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down

Works the nightshift at the depot With a pistol and a light And he guards them rustin' missiles Countin' whitetail to pass the time And he's worked there for a long while Since he came home from overseas Helping Kilcorn, fight the good fight And bring Baghdad to it's knees And it was hotter than the mountain But it weren't so ya couldn't stand And it weren't so much the heatwave Nearly as much as all the sand Now his daddy he's a log man With a good leg and fake That he got off of a buddy And a shit shot that he made And he worked them hands to splinters And he raised them youngins right On a little bit of scripture And an acreage of paradise And he'd go out on a weekend And he'd play like Clarence White If Clarence had a real job And picked the guitar when there was time Keeps a trap line in the winter Keeps a line wet in the spring On a lock wall fishin' muskie With his eldest and Steve And they swapped tales about their raisin' And they tell the awfullest lies And they go home when they've a notion And the muskie quit to bitin'
