Red Delicious

Tonight love is in the air
But I’m not going anywhere
I’ve been stuck in this place since she left me here
But tonight I wanna find somebody to call mine
If I could sleep I’d only dream of simple things
like dancing down the street with you darling
Oh
Kiss me ’til it’s hard to breathe
Let’s be selfish in love like we’re seventeen
And poison all my deepest dreams
With your little red delicious you make a sin so sweet
You’re such a tease
Tonight love is running wild
In the back room of this taproom where I’ve been staring for a while
At the waitress with green eyes and the sweetness in her smile
But I’ll never say a thing I haven’t done that in a while
No magic shade
Booze drenched charade
Let’s you run away
When you’re unsatisfied with what you have to offer
Oh yeah
Kiss me ’til it’s hard to breathe
Let’s be selfish in love like we’re seventeen
And poison all my deepest dreams
With your little red delicious you make a sin so sweet
Oh baby please
You’re such a tease
Make a sin so sweet so sweet so sweet oh yeah
Kiss me ’til it’s hard to breathe
Let’s be selfish in love like we’re seventeen
And poison all my deepest dreams
with your little red delicious you make a sin so sweet You’re such a tease
Oh baby please

Grace

Such a simple stare
I’m seeing Grace as she’s standing there
Dancing to my rhymes
And melodies for more gentle times
Now I fear I’ll be alone tonight
And I don’t want to be alone
Cause some nights I don’t think that I know myself anymore
What do I want from this love affair
Grace my dear
Grace my dear
Gracie my dear oh my dear
What do I want from this love affair
Oh I can say
They call her Grace cause she walks that way
But her gentle eyes
They look so out of place tonight
Kind of like mine
Maybe I can be her friend tonight Maybe I can be her friend
And we don’t have to sleep alone tonight What a joy in this hard life
Grace my dear
Oh Grace my dear
Gracie my dear oh my dear
What do I want from this love affair
What do I want
What do I want baby
Grace my dear
Oh Grace my dear
Yeah
Gracie my dear oh my dear
What do I want from this love affair This love affair

Cherry Wine

I saw your face in a dream last night
And you said words that would change my life
You said it’s gonna be alright
I want you back, won’t you come home with me tonight
Where I know nobody can do you any harm
When you’re lying so sweetly completely in my arms
She says she loves me oh cherry wine
Now I, I can’t stop drinkin’, I drink all the time
I’ve wanted too much and her well’s gone dry
I’ve worn out her stores, no more cherry wine
So she takes me by the hand
We find a place where we can make this love again
And she gets so close, so close that her skin is, its all its up against mine it feels so right
its a hopeless plight
We wont work tonight
No no matter how hard we try
It’s such a shame and I’m to blame
There’s no more cherry wine
She says she loves me cherry wine
I can’t stop drinkin’ I drink all the time
I’ve wanted too much and her well's gone dry
I’ve worn out her stores no more cherry wine
Here I am a tattered kind of man
still fighting So I gain the upper hand if I can
I’m kind and I’m smart
Why am I so alone in my heart
For reasons unexplained it’s got to be
Going bad oh yeah
She says she loves me oh, cherry wine no I
I can’t stop drinkin’ I drink all the time
I’ve wanted too much and her well’s gone dry
I’ve worn out her stores no more cherry wine

Valley Girl

Armed with all her shifty charm
And daddy’s money in her bra
She gonna play your heart right
The only tell for all her lies
Veiled dejection in her eyes
From eighteen years pretending
Fiction is her protection
Cause it hurts less than reflection
Not afraid to say what she needs to say
Break your heart and then walk away
Valley girl sleeps with all my friends
You gotta do right by your heart before the summer ends
Valley girl you could have made amends
But you just play pretend
Valley girl, valley girl
And high school didn’t go as planned
When her boyfriend threw his hands
So she won’t ever trust you
But she plays a naive heart
Sweet melodies until it hurts
And she won’t ever love you
Deceit is her protection
She’ll cut you with her weapons
And when you finally say what you need to say
She’ll slander you before she walks away
Valley girl sleeps with all my friends
You gotta do right by your heart before the summer ends
Valley girl you coulda made amends
But you just play pretend
Valley girl, valley girl
Valley girl sleeps with all my friends
You gotta do right by your heart before the summer ends
Valley girl you coulda made amends
Oh it never ends with a valley girl, valley girl
Oh valley girl
Oh valley girl, valley girl Oh valley girl
You just play pretend
Valley girl, valley girl

Give It Up
04:08

Make a fool of me
Say we couldn’t be
But I won’t ever believe cause you were perfect, so worth it
Take another’s hand
Drag me through the sand
Tell me I’m no man and I’ll deserve it
You’re worth it
Don’t say you love me now cause you know time is running short
Don’t say you get it babe 'cause you’ve lied through your teeth before
I guess I never really knew the night till it was standing at my door
And she walked out in the rain, and the wind blew her away
Give it up, give it up, cut your losses
You make a fool out of yourself every time boy let’s be honest
Give it up, give it up, you won’t love her
You’re a fool if you think she’s gonna be your little lover
Hold my aching heart
Cut me with your words
I won’t ever hit you first cause we’d be perfect
So worth it
Tell me you don’t care
We’re broke beyond repair
But I’ll always stay sincere that we’d be worth it so worth it
Nobody understands the ways that I go to war
Don’t say you get it baby ’til your confidence hits the floor
I guess I never really knew the night ’til it was standing at my door
And she walked out in the rain, and the wind took her away
Give it up, give it up cut your losses
You make a fool out of yourself every time boy let’s be honest
Give it up, give it up you won’t love her
You’re a fool if you think she’s gonna be your little lover
Give it up, give it up cut your losses
You make a fool out of yourself every time boy let’s be honest
Give it up, give it up you won’t love her
You’re a fool if you think she’s gonna be your little lover

Marigolds

Here she comes again in her new forty five
The lovely bride to be but she’s alone this time
She tells me get inside and takes me for a ride
To tell me everything
She reminds me of a love I lost so long ago
The way her smile is delicately taking hold
And I don’t look in her eyes I’m scared they’ll get me high
Forbidden by design
Her hair like marigolds
That I can’t touch it’s unforgivable
Reminds me of a love I had when I was young
And her marigolds and her marigolds
Now it’s 1AM and we’re still wasting time
I’ve learned why she’s loved so much by her other guy
And she’s speaking with her eyes
Does she want to come inside
I wouldn’t dare to know his bride
Her hair like marigolds
That I can’t touch it’s unforgivable
Reminds me of a love I had when I was young
And her marigolds and her marigolds
She comes around and gets stuck in my mind
Acting like she’s got no man and we could do this just fine
Two wrongs will never make this right
And this can’t happen baby not tonight
Marigolds the kind that only blooms in April’s arms
Her hair like marigolds that
I can’t touch it’s unforgivable
The kind that makes you feel like you’re in love
With her marigolds and her sweet sweet marigolds

I don’t want to walk along this floor
These hallways whisper they know you were here before
Back then you stripped my armor off now I wear more
I can’t forget the way you walked along this floor
Darling I can see you in that dress
Is god so cruel to me he won’t let me forget
The way I’ll never taste a love like yours again
The first time that you kissed me in that dress
I guess this is the moment, The fork stuck in the road
That made me forget 'bout trying to love so I could cope
I haven’t been back for so long
To this place where we loved
To where I was reborn in your arms, in your arms
And though it all looks the same
All the clocks here have changed
And now I’m lifetimes away from your heart, from your heart
I don’t want to look inside this room
And see the sweetness there that I named after you
Once I tasted your love nothing else would do
Such a blessing till I came to lose you too
Oh I can see a jacket on the bed
Is that the one you got to make me look a man
Sized me up showed me to fit inside my skin
I think it’s true that only you made me a man
I think this is the place, the weakness in my bones
That made me forget ‘bout trying to forgive so I could cope
I haven’t been back for so long
To this place where we loved
To where I was reborn in your arms, in your arms
And though it all looks the same
All the clocks here have changed
And now I’m lifetimes away from your heart, from your heart
I came back here to find the fork stuck in the road
But darling now I’ve seen it and I’ve known it all along
My body kept on running from the place you said goodbye
But my heart it never left you when I closed your eyes
I know this is the moment, the break inside my soul
Where you kissed my cheek goodbye and said be strong
I haven’t been back for so long
To this place where we loved
To where I was reborn in your arms, in your arms
And though it’s all gonna change
As time keeps fading away
You’ll always stay here with me in my heart, in my heart

Learning To Love
03:46

I saw her standing there
Only fifteen back in English class our sophomore year
Where she taught me to love her
Writing notes on my binder
Till I kissed her in my room the first time she came over
and we spent all summer
Ignoring all of our friends calls
saying There’s no-one else I need darlin you should know
I will never ever let you go
Baby we fell in love in class when we were fifteen
Neither one knowing what it means
But I guess this is love it seems
Oh honey
Remember drawing pictures on your desk in history
Bringing your legs close to me
And learning how to love
Her room eight days a week
Seasons change but we don’t feel them in the bedroom sheets
Where there’s only each other
And her blonde hair all over
Till I woke up in her bed a whole 2 years older
And she’s crying in the covers
Cause I can’t stay over tonight
And I’m jealous of the way the other boys look at her
Jaded cause I know come uni I will loose her
Baby we fell in love in class when we were fifteen
Neither one knowing what it means
But i guess this is love it seems
Oh honey remember drawing pictures on your desk in history
Bringing your legs close to me
And learning how to love
At school oh
All we got is a feeling
No friends fuck em
All we got is a feeling
At home tonight
All we got is a feeling
I don’t need anybody else baby
Baby I slept with your old shirts after you left me
Cause I couldn’t fall asleep without you near me
Guess thats learning how to love
Honey
Remember drawing pictures on your desk in history
Bringing your legs close to me
And learning how to love
When you’re young and you’re learning how to love
We were learning how to love

Kiss Me
03:19
|

|
I close my eyes and I see you
Back when we were in love
Blinds closed in my little bedroom
We would never clean up
Baby don’t leave cause its only nine
And my momma finally said you can spend the night
Just two little kids learning to love
I wonder if our dreams were just silly games
Or all of them would have come true one day
Now it’s ten years since we gave up
Since we gave up
Oh Kiss me
And show me loves a game
A simple song we sing
Oh kiss me
I close my eyes and I hold you
Like we never grew up
The broken hearts on my bedroom floor still talk
We never cleaned up
And your shirts still live in my dresser drawer
All the new girls ask what I keep them for
But they can’t kiss me quite the same
Baby
They smell of a love that could never fade
In some other life so far away
Where you and I had been enough
Now we gave up
Oh Kiss me
And show me love’s a game
A simple song we sing
Oh kiss me
Oh everybody else’s kisses tell me lies
But your lips pressed on mine just say kiss me
Baby I’ve tried to let you slip away
Forget all of the songs that we used to sing
The years we spent loving every day away
The night we cried knowing that our love had changed
We changed
Oh kiss me
or I’ll search all my life
for lips that fit in mine like yours baby
Everybody else's kisses tell me lies
but your lips taste just right Oh kiss me
Oh kiss me
Oh kiss me

In My Arms
04:51

I would do anything for you
if I knew we could make it through I would do anything for you
Climb mountains so huge
to spend an evening loving you I’d climb mountains so huge
Oh I am a fool for your treasures
Now you command all of my senses
Just like the first time you sleep in my arms
As if this won’t cause us both harm
When in two days we’re miles apart
And I smell you on the shirt that I wore
When you were sleeping sweetly in my arms
The ghost of this once broken heart,
a burning scar that haunts the spot you kiss so tenderly
But yours are the sweetest of lips,
and though I’ve tried I can’t resist the kiss concealed inside
Can we be forever together
So I can stop searching forever
Just like the first time you sleep in my arms
As if this wont cause us both harm
When in two days were miles apart
And I smell you on the shirt that I wore
When you were sleeping sweetly in my arms
You are the kind of girl to pull me over
This is a love that could be so beautiful
Yours is the kind of heart I've been yearning for
But I’m so scared of the things it could bring,
I’ve been hurt so bad before
So will I let you in?
Baby don’t want to be hurt again
But I've made up my mind
Just like the first time you slept in my arms
I'll get stronger with each beat of your heart
Won't get scared of the feeling that starts
When you kiss me locking hands in the dark
I'll say baby sleep tight in my arms
I'll say honey sleep tight in my arms
I'll say lover sleep tight in my arms

All I Know
04:55

Wish that I could see you in your blue dress
Wish that I could see your hair down low
The way it sat when we were just two school kids
Before we knew that time would make us old
La da da da da da da da
Oh I don’t want to see your mask of glamour
Cause everybody’s watched you play that role
And armor never lets you be a lover
So leave your silvers at the door
Babe leave your silvers at the door
Cause when you love me with all that you are
When you love me with all that you are
When you love me with all that you are
All I know is I don’t know anything no more
All I know is I don’t know anything no more
All I know is I don’t know anything no more
You love me like a virgin who’s been waiting
You love me like a knife that won’t grow dull
I want you like we’re only still just children
So show me who you were before time took hold
Show me who you were before time took hold
Cause when you love me with all that you are
When you love me with all that you are
When you love me with all that you are
All I know is I don’t know anything no more
All I know is I don’t know anything no more
All I know is I don’t know anything no more
Oh give me your tears and give me your scars
Give me your dreams every grandiose part
Give me your all on a whim in the dark
Give me a promise you can’t keep
Tear me apart, apart
If it means you’ll love me with all that you are
When you love me with all that you are
When you love me with all that you are
All I know is I don’t know anything no more
All I know is I don’t know anything no more
All I know is I never knew anything before
All I know
All I know
All I know
All I know
All I know babe when you love me with all that you are
All I know is I don’t know anything no more

Lover
05:35

I wish you would be mine
Oh lover
And I’ve heard from all the other guys
Sweet lover
They say she won’t feel anything, anything at all when you touch her
And your lips are so soft and yearning but will you feel anything
when I kiss them
Oh I’m here to believe in you
Oh lover
Cause I see under your facade and your fog
there lives such a real lover
But I know why you’re distant and so far away
What can you hope for
when you’ve been taught to be submissive and obey
Oh lover are you scared of sensation
Cause so many times it has caused you some sort of pain
When dirty and heavy they come
Drunken and lonely they come
Selfish and hungry they come
But I just want to love you
And I can see the beauty that’s shining from you
I wish you would be mine yes I do
Oh lover
But I don’t know what should I think of you?
What should I feel in you?
What should I make of you?
What should I make with you?
Oh lover
And you said make me and break me
but don’t call me your own once you’ve had me
And take my whole body and make me a whore so I don’t feel anything when you kiss me, when you kiss me
Oh I’ll kiss you but my kisses won’t hurt you
I’ll kiss you but my kisses won’t choke you
Oh let me love you and my loving won’t leave, leave, leave
Oh lover, sweet lover
Lover, sweet lover
Love, love, Love, love, love, love, sweet lover, sweet lover why won’t you be mine
