lyrics

To you they might be words on a page
But just like watercolors down the drain
if I don’t use them in a song
I may not ever get to using them at all

If the key that’s in my hand never opens up your door
or the song I have to sing for you don’t leave you wanting more
or my painting on your wall don’t make you feel nothing at all
I’ll be on my way
I want your love to come naturally

To you they might be sounds in a groove
on a record player you never use
Something dusty...not made for you
Something ancient old and barely used

CHORUS

BRIDGE
And a wavering flame in the wind and the rain won’t light my way
And a tethered heart that’s aligned with the dark ain't holding me
and a fluttering wing on a bird at sea won’t make it far

I’ve seen all the broken dreams that fall
by waiting in the wings too long
And every time I hear your call
I'd love for you to sing my song
That's why when you look at me
I want for you to freely see
I'm not
The one
Who steals
Your heart

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
