Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest Seems the light is swiftly fading Brighter scenes they do now show I am standing by the river Angels wait to take me home Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' See the pain upon my brow While I'll soon be with the angels Fate has doomed my future now Through the years you've always loved me And my life you've tried to save But now I shall slumber sweetly In a deep and lonely grave Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest I am weary let me rest

And it suddenly tastes Like hot chocolate 'Cause I was eight When I've heard it played Around street corners, under lampposts I've lost all the notes There's a little road to the part of the brain Where all the sounds go It's a funny space to the side of the brain Where I store what I know Just when I found myself alone It came onto the radio The song I always forget about I found things came flooding back The memories we shared at the flat The song I always forget about It came on the radio It suddenly smells like rain on concrete Where I told it all to you Around little dances and untaken chances I've lost all the notes It comes in my head as easily as it all went out I don't even know what it's about Just when I found myself alone It came onto the radio The song I always forget about I found things came flooding back The memories we shared at the flat The song I always forget about It came on the radio

You wore that white sundress, smoked a clove cigarette Danced barefoot and your hair was a mess You drove a Jeep Cherokee but no money for gas Coulda looked at you all day long, all day long You tried to downplay your beauty but you couldn't fool me You tried to play like you're tough but you grew up by the beach Said you hated the world but somehow you liked me Coulda looked at you all night long, all night long Coulda looked at you all night long, all night long How can I forget you in the morning? How can I forget you? I was dreaming you were standing there wearing my t-shirt Wishing that you could still be here How can I forget? I can't, I can't How can I forget? I can't, I can't Ran ten blocks in the rain, girl Train ain't running this late, girl You're the only one to do me like that Why you biting on your lip like that? (Don't stop) Falling through that doorway Stopping this ain't no way I shut my eyes for a second you were gone, gone, gone Now I'm thinking 'bout you all night long, all night long How can I forget you in the morning? How can I forget you? I was dreaming you were standing there wearing my t-shirt Wishing that you could still be here How can I forget? I can't, I can't How can I forget? I can't, I can't You wore that white sundress, smoked a clove cigarette Danced barefoot and your hair was a mess Let you slip through my fingers but you're stuck in my head And I've been thinking 'bout you for so long, for so long How can I forget...

I don't wanna hide But I've got my pride And I don't like to ever need Someone by my side I stay locked up all the time And I tell myself I'm free But I want you close to me Come on over here and scale these walls I built them just for you Come on over here and scale these walls I feel your love breaking through I spent my whole life in fight or flight But I called it holding ground So I'll let you in, slowly brick by brick 'Cause I don't want to hold back now I wanna let it all fall down Come on over here and scale these walls I built them just for you Come on over here and scale these walls I feel your love breaking through Come on over here and scale these walls I built them just for you Come on over here and scale these walls I feel your love breaking through Only your love's breaking through

When I go out and try to walk alone Pretending I don't need a hand to hold I'm hiding, but I know that you can see I know you know me When I am drawing lines in the sand You are the moon that pulls the tide back in I rise and fall, you feel the gravity I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me No matter where the storm is in my mind It'll never be a place that you can't find You hold the candle, oh, you hold the key I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me

Guess what, it's the same old song I've been writing all along Never did figure it out I sit down here to work through my fears And that's what I end up singing out loud Oh, but who am I to think I get to solve the mystery Of who and why and what was all that about So, turn off the record if you think I'm getting better I don't wanna let you down I don't wanna let you down I really do wanna tell you something cool But I'm still cleaning up my mess I scream at the clouds and drink after hours But the answers don't come without a return address So, I'm reading my mail and paying my bail From the prison I've been making in my head So, now you can bury me in obscurity 'Cause all I wanna be is a heart on a sleeve All I wanna be is a heart on a sleeve I don't wanna put my pain on a pedestal Wrap it up and sell it to you at the record store I know we all feel the same, I'm just a little louder Same lemons in my bloody hands, turning me sour So, I've been playing at the church of Mary Oliver Yeah, I'm trying to know myself and love all of her I'm finding wonder in the hyacinths And owning up to lies and sins And when I think I'm done I do it again When I think I'm done I do it again and again and again All I'm gonna be, all I'm gonna be All I'm gonna be is a heart on a sleeve All I'm gonna be, all I'm gonna be All I'm gonna be is a heart on a sleeve All I'm gonna be, all I'm gonna be All I'm gonna be is a heart on a sleeve All I'm gonna be, all I'm gonna be All I'm gonna be is a heart on a sleeve

Hold your head up, don't you cry, no Don't you worry, I'll be fine And you can let your heart ache, but don't you let it change The way it's beating, 'cause you'll be needing Every ounce of love I gave you Now the road is rough, but it's here to save you Go on, let it guide you Even when I'm not beside you This world turns you upside down and inside out And it's a longer fall, the higher that you climb When trouble finds you, you can just do what I do Grit your teeth, get through it And wait for the next good time Most things gonna lose their shine Some things string up party lights Every day ain't champagne But it ain't all rain, no This world turns you upside down and inside out And it's a longer fall, the higher that you climb When trouble finds you, you can just do what I do Grit your teeth, get through it And wait for the next good time And at the end of the line You won't be thinking 'bout the hard times At the end of the line, oh You'll be smiling just like I am When trouble finds you, you can just do what I do Grit your teeth, get through it And wait for the next good time Wait for the next good time

When I go out and try to walk alone Pretending I don't need a hand to hold I'm hiding, but I know that you can see I know you know me When I am drawing lines in the sand You are the moon that pulls the tide back in I rise and fall, you feel the gravity I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me No matter where the storm is in my mind It'll never be a place that you can't find You hold the candle, oh, you hold the key I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me I know you know, I know you know I know you know me
