Pay no mind It takes time What's that you say? Down the hall I heard a song Who knows? Drifting away Baby, at night when I look at you Nothing in this world keeps me confused All it takes, look in your eyes All of me Is to tow the waste What's that you say? It's going away It's painful but You do what you must Takes time to know Baby, at night when I look at you Nothing in this world keeps me confused All it takes, look in your eyes Who knows if there're roses in heaven Let go of that empty feeling Not dumber, just a little bit older Kiss of love couldn't be much colder

Text: Kim Sanders I use to believe in something I thought it was me and you That we could fulfill a lifetime And live as lovers do I was wrong I'll pay no mind I'm leaving it all behind I won't ask you what you feel no more I won't ask you what you feel no more I'll just pay no mind I'm letting it go this time 'Cause I realize I've come so far If I start to wonder where you are I'll just pay no mind The first couple steps were fragile Till I got on my feet Felt I was walking sideways Looking for my release Lovers come and they go When they leave You'll never know Instead of a review Tell you what I'll do I'm still writing love songs 'Bout something that's passed me by I know that I'm stronger You think that's a lie But you're wrong

She was dancing, she was smiling Roses blooming on her cheeks In a quiet kind of litany she accepted some defeat And then she twirled into the arms Of disgrace and then repelled Now she's fallen to her knees But you couldn't ever tell And then she asks me how we got here I told her, "I don't know" And if you keep on asking I'll just keep saying so This isn't what I wanted It isn't what you need Oh, let them keep on talking Just calm yourself and breathe Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Don't you pay them any mind Where the burdens of her mother Weigh like sandbags on the eyes As she closes just to open as the sirens whirling by And now she's off to tell a secret To a friend somewhere in town And her friend just takes a moment And asks why I'm not around Darling, this is something I should've told you long ago I just want you to feel safe, I just wanna make you glow Oh, how you glowed when we were young And with nothing on our minds But each other, one another and we had nothing then but time And then she asks me how we got here I told her, "I don't know" And if you keep on asking I'll just keep saying so This isn't what I wanted It isn't what you need Oh, let them keep on talking Just calm yourself and breathe Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Don't you pay them any mind Ooh, why do we have to go through this every time? Some days you hear it (don't listen, I will carry you) Some days you don't (don't listen, I will know) Sometimes you feel it (it's not worth it, help me) Sometimes you won't Just calm yourself and breathe Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind Don't you pay them any mind You know this happens every time Don't you pay them any mind

Listen easy, you can hear God calling Walking barefoot by the stream Come on to me, your hair's softly falling On my face as in a dream And the time will be our time And the grass won't pay no mind Saying nothing, lying where the sun is Baking down upon our sides My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses Your hands gentle in reply And the time will be our time And the grass won't pay no mind Child, touch my soul with your cries And the music will know what we've found I hear a hundred good-byes But today I hear only one sound The moment we're living is now Now, now, now, now, now, now, now Young bird flying, and a soft wind blowing Cools the sweat inside my palms Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing As you lay sleeping in my arms And the time will be our time And the grass won't pay no mind No, the grass won't pay no mind

Look away while you still can Close your eyes, say goodbye to this strange land You never thought you had it good And high school was just football games and processed food You've been picking through the weeds too long Surrounded by the echoes of a dream gone wrong And running through the fields that led To nothing but a song you're singing in your head Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape Hopefully this car will live up to its name You got 90 miles out of town When you started thinking you should turn the car around And go back home to your reckless dad Maybe this time he'll convince you that it's not so bad But then you snapped back down from outer space And stared into the rear view mirror at your face Your swollen eyes and beaded sweat Tattoos on your forehead and around your neck Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape Hopefully this car will live up to its name Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape Hopefully this car will live up to its name Maggie, are you listening in your blue Ford Escape? Hopefully your car will live up to its name

A long, long time ago in a little Texas town Eve made her way to the field below To have a look around, girls, to have a look around Down, down Evedid go, further in the fields When she heard a voice singing sweet and low Dig in with your heels, girl, dig in with your heels Eyes wide, heart inside like a gavel comin' down All around her brain was the sweet refrain Keep following the sound, girl, keep following the sound They'll try to take you for a ride They'll muddy all the good you've got inside They'll twist your heart until it's black and blue But don't let 'em keep you down, girl Don't let 'em keep you down Miles, miles Eve did go, when at last she came upon The source of the sound in the watery ground And the night was coming on, girls, the night was coming on Through the wilderness and the cypress trees And the night birds all around She made her way to the river's edge And her mother there she found, girls, her mother there she found Eyes wide, heart inside like a gavel comin' down When her mother said, come and rest your head I'll tell you what I've found, girl, I'll tell you what I've found They'll try to take you for a ride They'll muddy all the good you've got inside They'll twist your heart until it's black and blue But don't let 'em keep you down, girl Don't let 'em keep you down
