Lyrics

Youth Revolt Exchange

  • I was Drop kicked knocked out from all sides

    You just get me every time

    Your criss crossed mix ups worldly style

    And I want

    A Dark Hair girl sets the world on fire that warms a rebel Child

    War torn born with smirks not smiles

    And I want

    a skipped beat sing street mixed tape day

    Hearts drawn in stereo in sea foam haze

    Night time lost time sunburst fades

    And we are

    Stand tall free fall while hand in hand

    Close knit tight fit future scanned

    our Eyes in line where dreamers land oh

    But how fate weighs down

    And we get twisted inside out

    One day we both walk out

    No joy no happiness

    Fall down break down your tears for days

    Traded down to itch the fame

    My indifference became the pay to play

    Stand up drugged up you’re all ship shape now.

    Brittle hearts feeding off of the ground.

    Dependency our tendency as we both drown.

    I know what you want

    I watched you all the time

    I shouldn’t have been so cold

    But You could have helped me smile.

    I know what you do. You do it all the time. You tell me I’m the one and then you sit and watch me die.

    But how fate weighed down

    And we get twisted inside out

    One day we both walk out

    New Joy new happiness

  • When we break

    All the stars will find their way

    Cuz how we loved. Too punched and drunk in our own world

    A quiet place. A youth revolt exchange with

    No words to you

    All colors hues for me

    Your slipstream daydreams killed

    Quit cut end this scene

    All so fake. Dress up Hang on and just fade away

    A quick escape to a low down dirty place to stay

    Familiar space. My youth renewed embraced with

    No words to you

    All colors hues for me

    Ain’t no dead end streets in spring let’s

    Wake up start to dream

    My subtle fate

    Recluse unused and you won’t stay

    I’m worlds away

    A world away.

Step in, Stand Clear

  • We were shouting the signs of ten thousand miles we passed in our dream

    We were holding the rest close to our vest. We were the sea.

    Implacable time, your wandering eye was finding our gaze

    Downtown on the grass the future had passed and we were the rain

    Desperate for the sight of that city at night with no one around,

    We climbed up on the roof to make believe youth and become a sound

    So Let the city lights down. Shut off the murderous covenant sound

    Carry the message that everyone's blessed with someone to tell

    Down from the Rooftops and up from the alley ways

    Under the silent sky

    From one to another the first sound of summer

    A city's dream of the night

    So Let the city lights down. Shut off the murderous covenant sound.

    Carry the message that everyone's blessed with someone to tell.

    These old sidewalks have heard all of our words

    re-written as verse

    They sang the poem we had made with our desperate days

    the first in the world

    We were walking at last a snow-covered path through mountains of glass

    Guided along by the sidewalks' song to a home we just learned to miss

    We were passing the signs, walked ten thousand miles out of our dream

    We were holding the rest close to our vest. We were the sea

    So Let the city lights down. Shut off the murderous covenant sound

    Carry the message that everyone's blessed with someone to tell

    Down from the Rooftops and up from the alley ways

    Under the silent sky

    From one to another the first sound of summer

    A city's dream of the night

    Embattled and Battered From Battles that mattered

    When we were too young to know we were too young

    Here we have come again downtown together and

    Lights out, we'll find out if we look like us again

    So Let the city lights down. Shut off the murderous covenant sound

    Carry the message that everyone's blessed with someone to tell

  • When we were young just walking through the tall grass

    hiding wet eyes from the sun

    You stirred up a hornet's nest you grabbed me by my wrist

    and let them sting us for fun

    Just terrified terrified

    Walking hand in hand down the alley divide

    It was summertime we were waiting for our lives to come along our way

    It was our all time best day to sing and we whispered anyway

    Sitting on the wall behind the music hall

    telling all the same stories our brothers told

    We could fantasize and catastrophize

    Fall in love with everyone and tell the best damn lies

    Terrified terrified

    walking hand in hand down the alley divide

    It was summertime

    we were waiting for our lives

    to come along our way

    It was our all time best day to sing

    but we whispered anyway

    It was summertime

    we were waiting for our lives

    to come along our way

    It was our all time best day to sing

    but we whispered anyway

    And we whispered anyway

  • Every little reverie is now

    These streets sing a song of ourselves in American sounds

    And all this time I've been hard to find 

    Something my father's hands couldn't hide

    All these phantom effigies gather round

    Memories of seasons that i've spent in lonelier towns

    When all them kids on kellen street knew my name

    They're callin again

    They're calling me down

    Lost on a side street and found

    All the lights were stuck at go 

    Finding out is finding gold 

    So let it all out, let them all know 

    that we're all coming down

    Cause Kellen's gone quiet but our hearts are just getting loud 

    We used to dream useless vanities youth is proud

    Time spent timeless life in the likeness of sound

    Bleeding repeating it calls me out

    Breathing life back in a lifeless town

    Now the angels that didn't know our names

    Know that heaven just won't, won't be the same

    They're calling me down

    Lost on a side street and found

    All the lights were stuck at go 

    Finding out is finding gold 

    So let it all out, let them all know 

    that we're all coming down

    Cause Kellen's gone quiet but our hearts are just getting loud Description text goes here

  • Hey Rose slow down, I know you won't.

    The space between us on the water seems just out of reach.

    Hey Rose why can't t you turn around why can't you turn around and face me.

    Just a moment my friend well just a moment again

    Light of lovers riding home lives of lies feel light as stone

    Oh where have been my friend. Oh where have you been.

    I've been looking round the ends of ends and

    for seven long summers I've been coming back here to where it ends so

    where have you been?

  • Hold tight

    Hold strong

    you're not stuck here anymore

    And in this dark dark night

    don't hide your face from the light

    Keep it on, Keep it on,Keep it on

    Brother just hang on

    When you wake up in your sleep

    Does she walk on her two feet

    Place your head upon her knees

    you know you're not so far from home.

    So hang on, hang on, Brother Hang On

    hang on, hang on, Brother Hang On

    your heroes have not gone

    the road you walk the sun you breathe you'll carry on

    And your fathers hands have paved the way for you

    Be on your way to find the love in truth

    Wait to Carry on

    Wait to Carry on

    Wait to Carry on

    Wait and Carry on

  • My father used to tell me about the people he picked up in his cab.

    Feeling lost along the way, First time they knew they’d come in last.

    Most Sunday mornings he’d pull up early on our street.

    Staring with a tired smile and open the door to the backseat.

    And we’d go for a ride.

    Claire was the best thing the south ever made.

    The parking lot kids never saw her like I did cause they forgot how to dream.

    Saw her once underneath the clear blue Georgia sky.

    The kind that would make a ministers wife jump up

    Throw up the window and let the devil inside.

    And we went for a ride.

    Now me and Claire oh we don’t share a name anymore

    I can’t remember what she said when she left and

    What all the fighting was for.

    And our son Daniel sure is growing up brave and kind.

    I pull up on one of these Sunday mornings to see he lost what I learned how to find.

    We’ll go for ride

    When I’m an old man alone and looking back on what’s been.

    Find a way to think about lost time

    Find a way to feel alright about my sins.

    And when I do a train will show up there on my porch

    Tell me there’s a seat waiting for me on that one way coach.

    And I’ll go for a ride.

  • We’ll take a walk on day I’ll leave you in the hands of

    Petty tyrant giants and pint size cannibals.

    They’ll make fun of you and I won’t understand

    I’ll just shake my head kids can be so cruel

    You in the window and me on the street

    Were made to sweet for the distance between

    I can’t turn around I can’t turn around

    I can’t not turn around.

    You can turn towards it

    We’ve been look for it

    You can’t ill afford to miss your break out day.

    You’ll discover your scene and run your world with a wink

    Such havoc at rest your young soul let’s slip.

    And I’ll watch you ride by sunglasses and smiles

    A blur of a girl too clever to hurt

    You in the window and me on the street

    Were made to sweet for the distance between

    I can’t turn around I can’t turn around

    I can’t not turn around.

    You can turn towards it

    We’ve been look for it

    You can’t ill afford to miss your break out day.

    These days.

    Some day you’ll be on your own.

    You’ll know what I don’t

    You’ll be and become

    What ever you want with whatever you get

    From what ever you got from our break out days

    You’ll be and become whatever you want with what ever you get

    From what ever you got from these days.

    From these days

Just Right For Wrong

  • Just last weekend, Meghan walked in on some hooker and her man. So she called me, said 'Won't you help me? How soon can you be in New Orleans?"

    In fact, Louisiana was on my way to getting paid.

    When she met me at that station she wore a new dress, she held an old. gun. She said, she said: "Honey, it's gonna be alright. Just another New Orleans homicide. Yeah honey, its gonna be alright. Just another New Orleans homicide.

    Honey, these city streets they breed the kinda scum they'll blame this on, you'll see. We'll be so far away by dawn; no one will miss us when we're gone."

    She drove me to an old house, out past her last chance for doubt. She waited in the car while I put a bullet right in his cheating heart.

    "Honey, its gonna be alright. Just another New Orleans homicide. Oh yeah! We're gonna be alright. Just another New Orleans homicide."

    Just another New Orleans homicide. But it was our New Orleans homicide.

  • When we were young- walking through the tall grass, hiding wet eyes from the sun, you stirred up a hornets' nest and held me by my wrist. You let them sting us just for fun,

    Your sweet whiskey hell- it held the pain in my arm while your kisses held my scars.

    It was summertime we were waiting for our lives to come along our way. It was our all-time best day to sing but we whispered anyway. :

    Your long blond hair in the backseat of my car reminds me of your favorite song and that you're gone, that you're still gone.

    It was summertime. We were waiting for our lives to come along our way. It was our all-time best day to sing, but we whispered anyway. But we whispered anyway. But we whispered it anyway.

  •  Don't say I didn't warn you, "My heart would know".

    I've been looking for the moon in daylight, looking for a better way to say I want to be alone than "Leave me alone".

    Here we go: runnin our words in circles, tryin to be as hurtful as two hurt people can. I only told you that I loved you because I didn't want you to have to be the only liar around.

    Right now, it feels like I might miss you but if that's the truth, then I just miss being let down. My love, you're nothing but a hard luck story waiting to happen to someone else.

    I'm laughin at the someday when you won't have a pretty face and you won't mean a fucking thing to anybody.

    My love, you're nothing but a hard luck story waiting to happen to someone else. Now my love, you're nothing but a hard luck story waiting to happen to somebody else.

  • I'm Stuck on a bus in Memphis nowhere bound

    With millions of people and not a soul around

    This place aint no place for an unlucky boy

    With less faith than heartache in his old man voice

    Those days down on main street those nights in the county jail

    Memories of seasons that I spent in lonelier towns

    When all those girls on main street knew my name

    They're calling again

    They say that losing your heart it hurts like hell

    But all those kids down on main street carry it well

    They say that losing your faith it hurts like hell

    But all those kids down on main street carry it well

    These streets sing a song of ourselves in american sounds

    But all I'm hearin is the hymns of quieter towns

    And all this time I'm been hard up to find

    Somethin my fathers hands couldnt hide

    All those girls down on main street have moved away

    I bet only my meredith will remember my name

    But not every fool remembers to die

    Somebody's waitin for me on mainstreet tonight

  • Just last night you heard me say 'we're gonna breathe, fall asleep and watch them all die away." I aint sad to see that the sun came up upon the field where we laid down our needs. And it's everything that when it found us we were still sleeping. I watched the dying night fall lightly on your face like the echoes of angels in the slow din of our days.

    When we cry, this is my life" we describe just these brief moments of time. When we cry, “I desire" we are consecrated by some design, something divine. When it's all over we'll find we have strived all this time to be where we are tonight.

    The sun beats boldly on the earth as the ground sings songs of praise in the key of rebirth's sound. I see in your eyes the night sky lingering. And it's everything that when they opened we were still breathing

    When we cry, "this is my life" we describe just these brief moments of time. When we cry, "I desire" we are consecrated by some design, something divine, When it's all over we'll find we have strived all this time to be where we are tonight

    Just last night you heard me say “we're gonna breathe, stay awake and watch them all die away." I aint sad to see... But when the sun came up upon the field where we laid down our needs... and it's everything that when it found us we were still sleeping. I watched the dying night fall lightly on your face like the echoes of angels in the slow din of our days.
