Lydia's Very Best

I've won and lost a dozen fortunes. I'm hard up and loveless now. I'm only bleeding out for just a little while. On my hands, on my knees, on my boots and on the floor. All this noise and all the girls between the amps and little boys, they're tearing me down like a wolf in your arms. I'm a sheep and a godless disease. With all the weight of the world and the truth in a song with a tear and a promise for me.
Lydia, please come down. It's quite a morning sight to see down hear and I know you still believe I left my heart in San Fransisco where they buried Bettie Paige and all the miles and miles of road to see, before I've seen it all.
I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, broken down a million hearts, I'm hard-up and loveless now with a long way left to go. You're still a skeleton of mine. You're a demon and so am I.
I'm not blessed, I'm not free, I'm no saint. Not even close. I'm just a boy. No home. No good. No heart left to give anymore.

Still remember the young italian girl. Wasting your entire summer on my arm.I guess you're right, some things just fall right apart. If it fell apart, it fell apart and kept on falling.
It's still like being left out from all those parties back in school. Even though I don't want to go, it'd still be nice to be invited. All the dirt that's on my arm, it won't mean as much as you. Jackie, all that I could do is sing a little louder for you.
I just needed a minute and a breath. I have a cold sweat and a clenched up fist. It's so familiar how it almost makes me sick with all the anger in the world and the ringing in my ears...
The ring that's on your finger, the oldest diner on the strip. An enormous house of mirrors. I was lost and didn't care. We were lost and didn't care, we only cared about eachother.
I couldn't swim, so I sank just like a stone. I gave you my heart. I gave you my all. Your mama knew that I just aint no good, but you knew that I was more than just some cheap tattoos.

Desperate Chords

I am my father's ship, I'm taking on water, don't come any closer. A tear from your eyes in your bottle of wine that keeps me up at night.
My life is a trainwreck.
Tell me to shine like a star in the night, but I'm not going to shine and I'm not going to write. My heart will give out one night in my sleep and it'll keep you up at night.
We're young and in love with our mouths full of spit. Well, I'm still fucking young. I'm wreckless and old. Sing these old desperate chords just to keep you with me and it keeps me up at night.
My life is a trainwreck.

I would've ran all day if I really thought that you'd have stopped. Just a few more miles and maybe you'd turn right around. I guess you won't can I just get a ride back home? It's not that far, can I just get a ride back home? I'd quit you tonight, if I really thought I could. I'd quit you right this second, if I really thought I could. I guess I won't. Can I just get a ride back home? I came pretty goddamn far for you, can I get a ride back home?
I still got mountains left to move. I still got my own two hands. I still feel like a boy in the night. I still got these shakes and all the shame, but I wish that I loved anything the way you loved yourself.
I met a gypsy and a mother and a liar, along the way with stolen hearts from little lions. And all these wounds deep in my hands and on my neck, I kept them all closed up with ink and broken skin. I'll be in your rear view mirror all night if you keep hitting all those stop signs and red lights that slow you down so well. All these songs on the radio, those nights that it would rain, 6 months later, they'll damn near be the death of you.
I got nothing left for you, but this heart filled up with quit, a handful left of pride, a young man's grin and a crooked hat. I know that I won't love you like I did when I was young and I know if I don't care at all, I loved you all along.
It was just a cold sidewalk. It was just my troubled heart. Just another cold sidewalk and these old young men, we wish you well.
