The song which made me come back to listening to Dave Matthews again. Courtesy my friend's YouTube playlist.
Excuse me please one more drink Could you make it strong cause I don’t need to think She broke my heart my Grace is gone One more drink and I’ll move on One more drink and I’ll be gone
yes indeed im waiting for times like these you and me layin on a floor on times like these
what on earth is worth livin for but times like these as i turn to you and ask in vain
but still you dont say
a moment please is all i ask from you to stake my case as i lean in ever close to kiss your face i've seen a thousand times we have replayed all this what .... still i turn to you and ask in vain
but still you dont say
love alone will never save us this wicked life might never leave us take it down to peter's lounge and wait around till familiar sound of penny drops on .... gonna go straight down to live a life.............
Around the same time last year, I had listened to this song. And it had really moved me. I don't know why I didn't put it here. May be because the blog itself did not exist back then. A lot has changed since then. Better days are indeed here. But I still love this one
I didn't find the lyrics anywhere so tried to listen to the song and write it down. A couple of words still beat me. If you are able to follow, please let me know.
thinkin of times and of places that felt so real yesterday holdin on tight feelin alright thinkin of yesterday and even though i never said it to you im waitin in line to give it to you and even though i never got it from you im still wasting my time tyrin to give it to you
still i try to hold on for better days so let it slide
still i pray prayin for better days so let it slide down and down and down and down
today .. today .. today im gonna fade away
standing on my own two feet walking on what i feel is solid ground ........ another man's dreams just until i find my own way home from here
isnt it strange that as we grow old we tend to walk away from a little less pain to something that's easier to fit into our frame
still i try to hold on for better days so let it slide
still i pray praying for better days so let it slide down and down and down and down
Francis sang the song when he was with us a couple of weeks ago. And that's how I was reminded of it again. I had heard it before too. Probably in some TV series. Or maybe Pandora/Jango. It's just too good to not have a place here.
Hey there Delilah What's it like in New York City? I'm a thousand miles away But girl, tonight you look so pretty Yes you do Times Square can't shine as bright as you I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah Don't you worry about the distance I'm right there if you get lonely Give this song another listen Close your eyes Listen to my voice, it's my disguise I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me What you do to me
Hey there Delilah I know times are getting hard But just believe me, girl Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar We'll have it good We'll have the life we knew we would My word is good
Hey there Delilah I've got so much left to say If every simple song I wrote to you Would take your breath away I'd write it all Even more in love with me you'd fall We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far But they've got planes and trains and cars I'd walk to you if I had no other way Our friends would all make fun of us and we'll just laugh along because we know That none of them have felt this way Delilah I can promise you That by the time we get through The world will never ever be the same And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah You be good and don't you miss me Two more years and you'll be done with school And I'll be making history like I do You'll know it's all because of you We can do whatever we want to Hey there Delilah here's to you This ones for you
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me What you do to me
Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some starving leaves That didn't fall with the fall, and now they clatter in vain Holiday sky. Midnight clear. Wind is high, hard to steer Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane In search of some rest. In search of a break From a life of tests where something's always at stake Where something's always so far What about my broken car? What about my life so far? What about my dream? What about.....
What about everything? What about aeroplanes? And what about ships that drank the sea? What about... What about the moon and stars? What about soldier battle scars And all the anger that they eat? I am not in need.
Get away and come with me. Come away with me and we'll see If I was right on that night, that a future was made Before time takes each year, like a knife cuts it clear It's school, then work and then life that just sharpens the blade I think about time for fun. I think about time for play Then I think about being done, with no resume With no one left to blame What about fortune and fame? What about your love to obtain? What about the ring? What about....
What about everything? What about aeroplanes? And what about ships that drank the sea? What about... What about the moon and stars? What about soldier battle scars And all the anger that they eat? I am not in need.
Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some reason me The hometown harbor lights bright, the sailboats clatter in vain Holiday sky. Midnight clear. Wind is high on this pier I find it hard to complain when compared with what about...
What about everything? What about aeroplanes? And what about ships that drank the sea? What about... What about the moon and stars? What about soldier battle scars And all the anger that they eat? What about... What about aliens? What about you and me and... What about gold beneath the sea? What about... What about when buildings fall? What about that midnight phone call... The one that wakes you from your peace? Well, I am not, I am not, I am not in need.
