John Vincent

You’ll never guess the places that I’ve been
Never guess the places that I’ve been
'Cause everything is like a dream
Yeah, but only in that dream that I live in

Never gonna let the day begin
I’m never gonna let the day begin
'Cause everything is like a dream
Yeah, but only in that dream that I live in
Don’t wake me up before you go
And I’ll just make this bed my home
Oh darling, please just let me sleep, give me my dreams

Never gonna come down from above
Everything looks better from above
But nothing’s ever as it seems

Yeah, except in that world that I dream of
Never gonna lose the ones I love
Never gonna lose the ones I love
Everything is like a dream
Yeah, but only in that world that I dream of

Don’t wake me up before you go
'Cause I can’t face this day alone
Oh darling, please just let me sleep
Give me my dreams
Give me my dreams
Give me my dreams

Take a breath you’re not yet drowned
Be grateful for the bottom floor
And shattered dreams on the ground
These tears have had their say
Don’t you know that everyone, in their darkest hour, feels this way?
But these things will all blow over in the end
Yeah, these things will all blow over with the wind
Take a stand and walk the line, brought ya back, like Nickajack, How’s that for a sign?

These fears have had their say
Don’t you know that confidence comes from knowing that we’re all this way?
These things will all blow over in the end, yeah, these things will all blow over

With the wind, when it changes
It’ll bring some comfort to you
And you just might sing a song
Exciting and new
Yeah the wind, when it changes
It’ll bring some comfort to you
And you just might sing, a song
Exciting and new

From pink to grey clouds
And your head is still loud
With crazy thoughts that you had thought would die

The same old breeze blows
Through shattered windows
A billion broken vows to rectify

But as your walls come crashing down, you gotta remember, child, It’ll take awhile, but you’ll come around
Tear these stacks down, To build it up now, This ain’t some crispy thought that once would fly
A twisted lesson, but here’s the blessing, It’s through darkness that a light best shines

And as your walls come crashing down, You gotta remember, child, It’ll be awhile, but you know
Though the rain is pouring down, one of these days, the sun is gonna shine again
And as your walls come crashing down, You gotta remember, child, It’ll be awhile, but just know
Though the rain is pouring down, one of these days, the sun is gonna shine again

And the wind, when it changes, It’ll bring some comfort to you, And you just might sing
A song, exciting and new, one of these days, the sun is gonna shine again

I know you need me badly
Well, I can work with that, just leave your honor on the counter
And forget where you’re at
You’re like a bullseye walking
No lessons learned from last night
And I’ve been creeping and stalking, but it’s not like you ever hide

Well, take it from me—you’re gonna die, you’re fly, but you ain’t nothing special
You’ll pay a steep price for this high, just don’t tell me that I lie
We are who we were born to be, shadows under moonlight
We are who we were born to be, on hollow city nights

And now you try to walk away again, but you predictably stumble, you say this mess is what you don’t intend
But then why come in

Well, take it from me—you’re gonna die, you’re fly, but you ain’t nothing special
You’ll pay a steep price for this high, Just don’t tell me that I lie
We are who we were born to be shadows under moonlight
We are who we were born to be, on hollow city nights, I know you so well, and you need me so badly

This ain’t no cliche?
We both know it’s not me
But who am I to turn you away from my door?
You finally see the truth, it just makes you want more
Come on back inside, drink ‘til you’re satisfied
But when the morning comes, just don’t tell me that I lied

We are who we were born to be, shadows under moonlight
We are who we were born to be on hollow city nights
I know you so well, you need me so badly

This ain’t no cliche
We both know it’s not me, It’s not me

Drowned in dreams and memories
Living in a stilted present
Shangri-La or parody?
I’m waning to a painful crescent, it all goes wrong when you try the most
Just let go and throw your intentions down

The sun is shining coast to coast
What point is there in seeing tomorrow’s clouds?
The past will have its demons, but what good is it
Today has got its reasons, so come and visit
We’re walking slow, but surely, one day at a time

Restless legs for false repose
Grand plans or empty living
Some of both, I do suppose
But neither knows

The time we’re given
The moment holds our vagrant souls, Just relax and forget about the twist
Forgo the remote control, and appreciate the show for what it is

The past will have its demons, but what good is it
Today has got its reasons, so come and visit
We’re walking slow, but surely, one day at a time
One day at a time
One day at a time
One day at a time
One day at a time

Take me over to the North Side
So I can find my way
Lord knows I’ve walked the South streets

I’ve wasted hearts and days
So take it all, take everything from me
Then bring it on, take me down to shining waters
Through towns of grit and pride, and let me check my own
So I’ve nowhere left to hide, then take it all
Take everything from me, and bring it on
It’s because I am just a wandering man, that I need you now to take my legs
Or else I’ll ramble on until I wreck the song, take it all to set me free, I beg

Take me to a hilltop castle
To a room, all draped in white
Give me some familiar faces

So I know I’ll be alright, Then take it all
Take everything from me, and bring it on
It’s because I am just a wandering man, That I need you now to take my legs
Or else I’ll ramble on until I wreck the song
Take it all to set me free, I beg

Take me to a state of mind
Where kings are poor and paupers rich
Take away my trembling fingers
Takeaway that fateful itch
It’s because I am just a wandering man, That I need you now to take my legs
Or else I’ll ramble on until I wreck the song

Take it all to set me free, I beg
Take it all to set me free, I beg
Take it all to set me free, I beg
