So paint your room with pastel colors Before the sun fades us out of style Or the wallpaper swallows us whole And the flowers on your dress make me blue So why don't you open up the windows that save you And let your wide eyes wash all over me Bring me to my knees And blow me through the breeze Cause I've gotta sin to feel you And you gotta weep before I can hear you And honey i don't want to hurt you But my heart’s getting soft and my hands are so weak And I don’t know where I’ve been but I’m sure you'll tell me The symphony of birds sing softly Spreading lies that you used to sing to me baby I wrote your name in dust on the night stand And I booked that flight for Memphis Tennessee

Ain't No Rules (free) 03:29
The city buildings take my breath away The men who built them they risked their lives to say You gotta lose everything to know That you could gain the whole world if you don't When your fate’s tied to a balance beam And your feet could cost you everything You gotta break all the rules to know That there ain't any rules anymore You could stand in the rain to know my love won’t wash away I might bend until I break so I can see that I'm afraid But we won't know who we are without risking it all Baby I’ll risk you if you risk me too See her children how they learn to fly They fall from heaven in a blink of an eye I've seen her risk everything she's known Until there's nothing to fear anymore I saw an angel fly through hell today And as she passed I thought I heard her say Beauty isn't meant to be owned Unless you share with the rest of the world
3.
Go on fix me up with What you have left in disguise Drag me into the garden Ease my mind and spill me your lies Cause our hearts they break like morning And they mend like broken glass Our love is going to bend And our hearts are going to break ‘Cause your love it makes me breathe again And your love it stings when it starts sinking in And your love it keeps me up at night I can tell it’s gonna be alright When your mind’s made up It seals your heart with the weight of your tongue And I know you've seen me dying Seen me climbing through the weight of the world And you've seen me lost in the city Seeking shade from the heat of the sun Our love is going to bend And our hearts are going to break But when it’s all said and done And you’re on the run Your love I’m going to take My love come with me tonight My love I’ll make it alright Oh my dear I’ll fix you tonight Oh my love come here tonight
4.
I can't run I can't run fast enough for you I can't fly I can't fly high enough for you I can't drive back and forth to you I gotta wait oh baby I gotta wait oh my sweet I gotta wait oh honey Till you come back home to me You can't feel You can’t feel the same sun on your back You can't see You can't see the color's turning black You can't hear me calling out your name I gotta wait oh baby I gotta wait oh my sweet I gotta wait oh honey Till you come back home to me Dry your eyes Hide those tears Don't you tell me where you've been
5.
Be my love Be my friend Call it what you want I will always be your man In the summer And in the fall I don't care when, I'm always running when you call Through the storm Through the rain I’ll be there with you through that hurricane I don't care why And I don't care when you might need me Or where you want to meet me I don't wanna come down I don't want this to end right here tonight Baby hold on tight and let me in Be my dream Let me let you in Let me hold on to you, till the dawn breaks in Tell me secrets I wanna know it all Let the autumn leaves blow while you spill it all Write me letters And send me notes I’ll even take a phone call from the west coast When the morning cracks your window pane And the sky looks like it’s blue again I see the sun upon your skin And by then I know it's true Yeah the morning breaks for you
6.
You’ve got love in your eyes You got love in your smile But not for me You got sun in your hair And you’ve got flowers to spare But none for me You’ve got days to fill And you’ve got time to kill But not with me I'm at your door Telling you, once more That I've got a love that's broken for you That I've got a heart that's broken in two That I've got a love that's only for you And I got memories to share Even if they might be broken by you There's a piece of my mind That I’m not sure I should give to you There's been days left behind That could have really used the sight of you
7.
Well there's something about you that reminds me of the morning stars They fade with the night when the daylight's beating 'em down Like a junkie they beg for the sun to give them a round But it’s taken a toll and they fight to keep holding on They don't even try to find their way back home and neither do you But no one’s ever stopped the day from breaking and neither can you Neither can you You gotta run like a river and cry like the rain When you fall down hard stand up again When love’s in your eyes you gotta let her in Just stop running away The funniest thing about trying to go home Is when you open the door you wish you were back on the road You feel guilty for staying, even worse if you decide to leave Lord only knows how long you'll be gone I don't want to try to find my way back home, I just want you And I don't want to stop the day from breaking, and neither do you, neither do you
8.
Do you believe what you said Cause it’s still running through my head I think you might, this time If it’s alright with you I think I’ll put on one last tune Because for you success is failure You told me you've got something for me You just can’t put your finger down No not tonight Give me rock and roll When I’m all alone Let me borrow some of those city lights Give me love when I fight Use a prayer on me tonight And find some grace for me I’ve got the west coast blues You can see it in my eyes Oh it'll pass just give it time And the birds can really get around Oh I love how they soak up the sun Then lift up and fly away
9.
We know you're living on your looks Yeah we know you're living on your looks Well you looked good in your day But time tends to show your age We know you're living on your looks We know you'd trade it all for gold We know you'd trade it all for gold Your suitors are cashing in And you burned your last bridge We know you'd trade it all for gold Well there once was a time when you could turn it on And your name would send shivers down my spine But the years have worn you thin And you're lost out in the wind Your days are numbered my friend No we won't let you harm us with that smile No you can't, you can't harm us with that smile Well the tables are always turning And my dear you might be learning That you can’t harm us with your smile
10.
When the blackbird sings And the sun comes out You know you're the one She's singing about Well she's so proud To rhyme for you She won't even sing Till she sees you I feel the same When you walk in that room And with each step Honey I’ll take two And you are the only one I ever dream about Until the sun goes down and the stars burn out Oh you are the only one that ever brings me around When the day turns dark and no lights can be found You are the one You are the one If my walls would talk Or my floor could sing They'd say that I can't Stop speaking your name You know that your love Got my mind at ease When I hear your voice It's got me skipping a beat
11.
And I and I and I was lying on the bed Playing my guitar Thinking about you And you and you and you were standing in your room The one that grew around you Were you thinking about me You used to fall for the night Yes and you used to fall for the night Now the night is falling for you Yeah the night is falling for you And I always fall for the night You and you and you fell asleep again Underneath the stars They make you feel so safe And I and I and I used to hide from the dark Cause I knew you'd find me Now I'm looking for you And I didn’t know I could turn on the stars in the sky Or make the clouds turn gray And if you would have told me, oh my sweet young thing, oh my gal I would have not let you down
12.
So you bought a ticket out I won’t hear from you again You say you never knew a man without friends Or at least ones the likes of you And I'm not the one you’re looking for Cause I won’t leave this town alone I heard about your New York City And the things it got from you all the things you said it got from you Come on you can’t do this to me yet And I can hear in your voice that you've got one round left I never asked for common sense Or the things worth talking through I'll ask for your opinion when I've got nothing else to prove And when I've got nothing left to lose We both know that you'll cry someday When the city lights lead you astray If I were you I'd run away And I'd look for me at the end of the day Let the cold wind bring you home
13.
Lovable/Kind 02:32
You're so glamorous, you’re so fine You go down better than strawberry wine When I first saw you at the bluegrass jam I saw the last woman I'd ever have I’m in love, love, I’m in love Oh Lord I’m in love, love, I’m in love You're so lovable you’re so kind Your perfume’s branded in my mind You got a beautiful necklace hanging round your neck It was the one I bought you on our trip out west I’m in love, love, I’m in love Oh Lord I’m in love, love, I’m in love You're so simple yet so refined You love the city but you hate the life You got the taste of honey sitting on your tongue You won’t say you love me till I take you home I’m in love, love, I’m in love Oh Lord I’m in love, love, I’m in love

about

Farewell Milwaukee Minneapolis, Minnesota

Swift and inventive, Farewell Milwaukee’s sound is informed by artists from the 60s and 70s but is never beholden to them. Instead Farewell Milwaukee bend those influences into new shapes and sounds. On Can’t Please, You Can’t Please Me they work hard to make it look easy, establishing a casual country-rock majesty on the album’s very first notes. ... more
