Last week, myself and @theluxalma were overcome with festive feelings and wrote this song at @hibernacle20 . Hold on to your Sleigh Bells! ‘Tis the season.
It really breaks my heart to see a dear old friend Go down to the worn out place again Do you know the sound Of a closing door Have you heard that sound before Do you wonder if she knows you anymore I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye Where did you learn to walk Where did you learn to run Away from everything you loved Did you think the bottle Would ever ease your pain Did you think that love’s a foolish game Did you find someone else to take the blame I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye I am a sturdy soul And there ain’t no shame In lying down in the bed you made Can you fight the urge to run for another day You might make it further if you learn to stay I wrapped your love around me like a chain But I never was afraid that it would die You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye You can dance in a hurricane But only if you’re standing in the eye
Some people live for the fortune Some people live just for the fame Some people live for the power, yeah Some people live just to play the game
Some people think That the physical things Define what’s within And I’ve been there before That life’s a bore So full of the superficial
Some people want it all But I don’t want nothing at all If it ain’t you, baby If I ain’t got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain’t got you, yeah
Some people search for a fountain Promises forever young Some people need three dozen roses And that’s the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter And what good would it be With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all But I don’t want nothing at all If it ain’t you, baby If I ain’t got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain’t got you, you, you
Some people want it all But I don’t want nothing at all If it ain’t you, baby If I ain’t got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain’t got you, yeah
If I ain’t got you with me, baby, oh, ooh Said nothing in this whole wide world don’t mean a thing If I ain’t got you with me, baby
I love the way you walk into the room Body shining lightin’ up the place And when you talk, everybody stop ‘Cause they know you know just what you sayin’ The way that you protect your friends Baby I respect you for that And when you grow you’ll take everyone you love along I love that shit Don’t fly me away Don’t need to buy a diamond key to unlock my heart You shelter my soul, you’re my fire when I’m cold I want you to know You had me at hello Hello, hello ‘Cause you had me at hello Hello, hello ‘Cause it was many years ago Baby when you stole my cool ‘Cause you had me at hello Hello, hello I get so excited when you travel with me Baby while I’m on my grind And never will I ever let my hustle Come between me and my family time and You keep me humble, I like this type ‘Cause you know there’s more to life And if I need ya, you will be here You will make the sacrifice Wanna feel you, wanna be near you You’re the air that I breathe to survive I wanna know you, wanna show you That without you my sun doesn’t shine You don’t have to try so hard for me to love you Boy without you my life just ain’t the same You don’t have to try so hard for me to love you ‘Cause you had me at Hello Hello, Hello ‘Cause you had me at Hello Hello, Hello Baby it was many years ago, when you stole my cool Baby you had me at Hello Hello, Hello HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO Hello, Hello Hello Source:ย Musixmatch Songwriters: Beyonce Knowles / Evan Bogart / David Quinones / Ramon Owen Halo lyrics ยฉ Emi April Music Inc., Sony/atv Songs Llc, B-day Publishing, Artist 101 Publishing Group, Soundkillers Publishing, B Day Publishing, Hipgnosis Sfh I Limited
Katie’s sittin’ on her old front porch Watchin’ the chickens peck the ground There ain’t a whole lot goin’ on tonight In this one horse town Over yonder comin’ up the road In a beat up Chevy truck Her boyfriend Tommy is laying on the horn Splashing through the mud and the muck
Her daddy say’s, “he ain’t worth a lick” When it comes to brains he got the short end of the stick” But Katie’s young and man she just don’t care She’d follow Tommy anywhere She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy And even if they have to run away She’s gonna marry that boy someday
Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie Parked in the very last row They’re to busy holding on to one another To even care about the show Later on outside the Tasty Freeze Tommy slips something on her hand He says, “my high school ring will have to do ‘Til I can buy a wedding band”
Her daddy say’s, “he ain’t worth a lick When it comes to brains He got the short end of the stick” But Katie’s young and man she just don’t care She’d follow Tommy anywhere She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy And even if they have to run away She’s gonna marry that boy someday
Her Daddy’s waitin’ up ’til half past twelve When they come sneakin’ up the walk He says, “young lady get on up to your room While me and junior have a talk” Momma breaks in says, “don’t lose your temper It wasn’t very long ago When you yourself was just a hay seed plow boy Who didn’t have a row to hoe”
“My daddy said, ‘you wasn’t worth a lick When it came to brains you got the short end of the stick’ But he was wrong and honey, you are too Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you” She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy What’s meant to be will always find a way She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy She’s in love with the boy What’s meant to be will always find a way She’s gonna marry that boy someday
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt Still a little hard to say what’s going on Still a little bit of your ghost, your witness Still a little bit of your face I haven’t kissed You step a little closer each day That I can’t say what’s going on Stones taught me to fly Love taught me to lie And life taught me to die So it’s not hard to fall When you float like a cannonball Still a little bit of your song in my ear Still a little bit of your words I long to hear You step a little closer to me So close that I can’t see what’s going on Stones taught me to fly Love it taught me to lie And life taught me to die So it’s not hard to fall When you float like a cannon Stones taught me to fly Love taught me to cry So come on courage Teach me to be shy ‘Cause it’s not hard to fall And I don’t wanna scare her It’s not hard to fall And I don’t wanna lose It’s not hard to grow When you know that you just don’t know Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Damien George Rice Cannonball lyrics ยฉ Warner Chappell Music, Inc
