Cry No More

In real time
In a real life
Things can change right
Because lately I’ve been fearing that they can’t

Everybody
All around me
Says these aren’t my fights
But that don’t
Change the fact that
I want in

All I want to do is sing a song for you so you don’t have to cry no more
All I want to do is find a melody to take the pain away
All I want to do is sing a song for you so you don’t have to cry no more, is that so hard
To build a wall of sound around your bed that always keeps you safe

I got all night
I got a hunger
Got my whole life
To take chances
That might end it way too soon 210

If you are in danger then don’t be a stranger
‘Cause I can’t be complicit and miss out on the truth

All I want to do is sing a song for you so you don’t have to cry no more
All I want to do is find a melody to take the pain away
All I want to do is sing a song for you so you don’t have to cry no more, is that so hard
To build a wall of sound around your bed that always keeps you safe

I’m on the stairs, I’m at your house
You say you’ll be right down
And I am struggling
To take a deep breath
Or slow my heart down
I can’t seem to process
You in that sundress

It’s so scary
‘Cause you’re out of my league and it’s so obvious to everyone else
Kids keep staring because they just can’t believe
That you are even gonna give me a chance

I’m in the car trying to pick the music
You say that you like it
I’ll never tell but it
Took me 3 days to make a damn CD
That sounded like you to me
There were so many throw aways

It’s so scary
‘Cause you’re out of my league and it’s so obvious to everyone else
Kids keep staring because they just can’t believe
That you are even gonna give me a chance

I’m on the stairs, I’m at our house
You say you’ll be right down
And I am struggling
To take a deep breath
Or slow my heart down
Can’t seem to process
You in that white dress

It’s so scary
‘Cause you’re out of my league and it’s so obvious to everyone else
Kids keep staring because they just can’t believe
That you are even gonna give me a chance

It was so scary
‘Cause you were out of my league it was so obvious to everyone else
Now everybody’s staring because they just can’t believe
That we are dancing our last first dance

Know the weather will get colder
That it can’t always be spring
When I pushed you in a stroller you were looking up
Singing life like a church hymn

You are gonna find your place child
Of that much I know I’m sure
Keep on laughing at the rain I guess
Isn’t that the place to start

Someday you will be stronger than you are now
But you will not know everything
And when the water’s spilling over the bow
You’ll still have me in the wings

You gotta get up to get down kid
You gotta get down to get up again

Treat your mother like she’s made of gold
After all she brought you here
And if you’re lost go see the ocean
It will always help you steer

Someday you will be stronger than you are now
But you will not know everything
And when the water’s spilling over the bow
You’ll still have me in the wings

You gotta get up to get down kid
You gotta get down to get up again

Someday I will be weaker than I am now
And I still won’t know everything
But when I’m passing up and over those clouds
I hope that you’ll have learned from me

Someday you will be stronger than you are now
But you will not know everything
And when the water’s spilling over the bow
You’ll still have me in the wings

You gotta get up to get down kid
You gotta get down to get up again

Let’s take our time now
Nobody likes an avalanche
When it’s falling on best laid plans

I wanna love you
Just like I did when I was young
‘Fore the world went and pulled out the rug

It was cold on the night you were born
But I kept you away from the storm

Wet like the sidewalk
After a night of non stop rain
But we slept through the whole damn thing

It was cold on the night you were born
But I kept you away from the storm

Put on a nice coat
Sounds like it’s really coming down
Wish like hell I could stick around

Tide swept the roses
We kept holding on like its washing us clean
But the dial is broken again

It was cold on the night I was born
You were right the whole time I was wrong
But sometimes being wrong is a gift
No one sees the whole world I’m convinced

In your eyes I see the color of a thousand years of time
That passed before you'll move mountains
And your shoes tie them up real tight because you’ll need to move
Quickly to get where you’re going

There is nothing in your way
There is nothing in your way
The whole damn world is yours if you could only see
Is there something on your mind
Is there something on your mind
But you can’t trust a thing
I hope you’ll trust in me

I’m so glad you recognize that money ain’t the key
It’s so sad that some people will never see it
And someday the world you see right now won’t look the same
It ain’t bad, just keep a compass in your pocket

There is nothing in your way
There is nothing in your way
The whole damn world is yours if you could only see
Is there something on your mind
Is there something on your mind
But you can’t trust a thing
I hope you’ll trust in me
