It Ain't Me Babe (Bob Dylan Cover) 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Go 'way from my window Leave at your own chosen speed I'm not the one you want, babe I'm not the one you need You say you're lookin' for someone Who's never weak but always strong To protect you an' defend you Whether you are right or wrong Someone to open each and every door But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me, babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe. Go lightly from the ledge, babe Go lightly on the ground I'm not the one you want, babe I will only let you down You say you're lookin' for someone Who will promise never to part Someone to close his eyes for you Someone to close his heart Someone who will die for you an' more But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe. Go melt back in the night Everything inside is made of stone There's nothing in here moving An' anyway I'm not alone You say you're looking for someone Who'll pick you up each time you fall To gather flowers constantly An' to come each time you call A lover for your life an' nothing more But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me, babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma and Pa Not the way that I do love you Well, holy moly me oh my You’re the apple of my eye Girl, I've never loved one like you Man, oh, man, you're my best friend I scream it to the nothingness There ain't nothing that I need Well, hot and heavy pumpkin pie Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ Ain't nothing please me more than you Home, let me come home Home is wherever I'm with you Home, let me come home Home is wherever I'm with you La la la la Take me home Mama, I'm coming home I'll follow you into the park, Through the jungle, through the dark Girl, I've never loved one like you Moats and boats, and waterfalls, Alleyways, and payphone calls I been everywhere with you (that's true) Laugh until we think we'll die, Barefoot on a summer night Never could be sweeter than with you And in the streets you run afree, Like it's only you and me, Geez, you're something to see. La la la la Take me home

Can't Get Enough of You 02:08
lyrics
buy track
Our postcards could fill a book Our mixtapes could play for hours Inside jokes instead of stand up Pokes and laughs in the shower But none of it helps you sleep Only keeps you awake in bed The next day, month, or year Running in circles, through your head When I can’t hear your voice I just hear those fears too But with a short call and your smile Babe I can’t get enough of you I go to class all day To get away from the wait I spend my days reading books To get my mind off the date Countless hours at my desk Writing papers or a tune I ask myself if my love will grow I don’t know, anytime soon Both of us will meet new people Find new interests, new views But the closest ain’t worth the chase Babe I can’t get enough of you All the way from Larkin to Maple Where’s the line we can cut Don’t get lost in translation I’m not Bob and you’re not Charlotte Sunday morning, early dawnin’ There you are on my screen You stick your tongue out and I stick mine My worries get fewer and farther between Because when I only see your words I always ask where, when, and who? I’d much rather hear your voice Babe I can’t get enough of you Babe I can’t get enough of you Babe I can’t get enough of you

Travel 02:59

I left my keys in Wyoming my towel in Boston i definitely lost some years in the time i was roaming forgot my toothbrush in Denver my spare tire in Montana but what ill surely never forget is her I've been so many places and lost so many things but when I'm back with her I feel put together again I left my trunk in Kalamazoo My lungs in Santa Cruz But the most important thing I left Was my heart, with you I left my hands in D.C. my guitar in Tennessee how can i give it up when traveling makes me feel so free I've been so many places and lost so many things but when I'm back with her I feel put together again

Death 01:21
lyrics
buy track
death came, up to me suit as black, as can be polished shoes and ironed tie told me “son youre gonna die” my face grew pale and my hands grew week i knew it was my soul that he did seek Took a moment reminisced on my years Then Stood up to death: said look right here I ain't lived yet so I won't die I ain't ready yet to say goodbye My race Ain't run my fuse Ain't burned There's so much yet I haven't learned I'm not going with you and that is that I gave him a wry smile and tilt my hat (I think you meant Fedora) He was silent through this exchange His expression didn't even change He reached up and touched my face And I died with that embrace He stepped over my body slumped In this battle he did triumph He straightened his tie fixed his hat It was all over...just like that Death turned and did disappear The man in black that all do fear

Step (Vampire Weekend Cover) 04:00
lyrics

Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl Back back way back I used to front like Angkor Wat Mechanicsburg Anchorage and Dar es Salaam While home in New York was champagne and disco Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco But actually Oakland and not Alameda Your girl was in Berkeley with her Communist reader Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman I was a hoarder but girl that was back then The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house Such a modest mouse, I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl Ancestors told me that their girl was better She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather I just ignored all the tales of a past life Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife And punks who would laugh when they saw us together Well, they didn't know how to dress for the weather I can still see them there huddled on Astor Snow falling slow to the sound of the master The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house Such a modest mouse, I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth Age is an honor, it's still not the truth We saw the stars when they hid from the world You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her We know the true death, the true way of all flesh Everyone's dying, but girl you're not old yet The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house Such a modest mouse, I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house Such a modest mouse, I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl

Well we know where we're goin' But we don't know where we've been Fnd we know what we're knowin' But we can't say what we've seen And we're not little children And we know what we want And the future is certain Give us time to work it out We're on a road to nowhere Come on inside Takin' that ride to nowhere We'll take that ride I'm feelin' okay this mornin' And you know, We're on the road to paradise Here we go, here we go Maybe you wonder where you are I don't care Here is where time is on our side Take you there...take you there We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere There's a city in my mind Come along and take that ride and it's all right, baby, it's all right And it's very far away But it's growing day by day And it's all right, baby, it's all right They can tell you what to do But they'll make a fool of you And it's all right, baby, it's all right We're on a road to nowhere

Mama, take this badge off of me I can't use it anymore. It's gettin' dark, too dark to see I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them anymore. That long black cloud is comin' down I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Mama let me lay here and die I dont have the strength to say goodbye I’m leaving here forevermore I hope they hear me knocking on heavens door Mama I can’t see through the clouds I’m wrapped up alone in my shroud I can see the world from shore to shore I feel like I'm stuck behind heavens door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
