Mary Oliver (Acoustic) - Caroline Spence & Matt Berninger

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

Maybe one breath away I'll find the words to say I'll sit and light the bong I'll hold my hit in real long I don't know if I can go up inside of you tonight Oh Mary baby, please don't fuss and fight You've heard the line before Mary, baby, please don't think I'm a whore If you come home with me Turn off the lights and lock up the doors and start getting busy I don't know if I can go so far up inside you tonight Oh, Mary, baby I could do it right When we got to the pad Mary, baby, started calling me her dad. As she gave me head, We could not find the damn bed! Fifteen years old plus one and hotter than a microwave oven. Oh Mary baby, daddy is coming home.

Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space Take off your shoes, stay out of the race Lay down your head, on a soft river bed Sonny always remembers the words Mamma says. Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone Your Daddy's a sailor, never comes home, Nights are so long, silence goes on, I'm feeling so tired and not all that strong. Sonny works on the land, though he's barely a man There's not much to do but he does what he can Sits by his window in his room by the stairs Watching the waves drifting soft on the pier. Many years have rolled on, Sonny's old and alone His Daddy's sailor, never came home Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been Still from the grave Mamma still haunts his dreams.

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

They tell me I used to be weary That I was nearly fading to black But I don't recall another feeling Before I loved you back They say there's more to my story But those days have all slipped my mind Now the only thing blue in my memory Is the color of your eyes last night What does it matter whether The world wasn't always like this? We are together So, I forget the rest I walked alone, so they tell me But that was pages and pages ago Now I've put my feet where they're supposed to be And they'll all say that's all she wrote What does it matter whether The world wasn't always like this? We are together So, I forget the rest What does it matter whether The world wasn't always like this? We are together So, I forget the rest We are together So, I forget the rest

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
