lyrics

I feel like there's a song in here somewhere
about growing up and doing good.
I'm not doing well lately, and that's my own damn fault,
I don't know how to grow up or do good.

If I could, maybe then you'd stay.

I wanna be the most positive guy you know,
but I hear that other guy in my head saying "no, no."
If I could shut him up and let the me that I wanna be stay out,
That'd be nice. So nice.

If I could, maybe then you'd stay.

I feel like I could make it if I tried,
so why don't I give these songs a chance to shine?
This must be what they talk about when they say to take a risk.
It's so hard to take a shot when you're not sure that you'll hit.

If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
If I could, maybe then you'd stay.

How can I pay the bills if I'm working every day?
A buck is too much to hear what my heart has to say.
I'll keep writing it down, and one day I'll be able to say to you
"I've done everything I've ever wanted to."

If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
If I could, maybe then she'd stay.

Paper Window
by Jeff Pianki

This album says more with the space between notes than most albums do in their entire lyrics sheet. One of my favourite albums of all time, hands down. Listen to it! Jamie Bell

i clung to you hoping we'd both drown
by flatsound

This album connects me to everything I ought to be connected to, and lets me soak in it. It makes me feel something I've only felt a few times in my life, and it does so consistently! Thanks Mitch! Jamie Bell

Grandfather
by Tigers On Trains

Painfully earnest hooks that will pull you out of yourself. An album that is way better than it has any business being. I've been listening to these guys since 2007, and everything they do is magic! Jamie Bell
