I'll meet you out for drinks And I'll talk to all your friends And I'll ask about your day And let you spend the night again You should know I'm gonna leave you You should know I'm gonna leave you I'll let you call me darling Run your fingers 'cross my skin Play some music for the neighbors While we break my mattress in You should know I'm gonna leave you You should know I'm gonna leave you 'Cause when it comes down to the wire I'll just cut and run once more One morning you'll wake up alone An empty bed and an open door I just don't have it in me To stick around to take this chance I love the feeling of a first kiss I won't let it be my last I know you're looking for a romance Someone to stick by for a while I've got damage I'm still fixing I'm still phoning in this smile Don't you ever say you love me Don't you ever make a vow I won't fake any emotion Or act like I can stick this out 'Cause when it comes down to the wire I'll just cut and run once more One morning you'll wake up alone An empty bed and an open door I just don't have it in me To stick around and take this chance I love the feeling of a first kiss I won't let it be my last I am your blue tide receding I'm the calm before the storm I'm your dream before you wake up I'm the breath within your lungs You should've known I'm gonna leave you You should've known I'm gonna leave you 'Cause when it comes down to the wire I'll just cut and run once more One morning you'll wake up alone An empty bed and an open door I just don't have it in me To stick around and take this chance I love the feeling of a first kiss I won't let it be my last I'm gonna leave you I'm gonna leave you

Your shady ways You kept behind smoke Leading me on The punchline to your joke Then you put me out Out on the street Too drunk to stand On your own two feet Tell me, what kind of man What kind of man does that You told your friends I was the best thing around Could've fooled me The way you put me down Kept me so low Watched me swallow dirt Damn good thing I know how to drink So I can act like it didn't hurt Tell me, what kind of man What kind of man does that Hey, what kind of man What kind of man does that You took my peaches when you were Sweet like cream Then something curdled And you acted so damn mean When my momma called me, you would Hang up the phone, Say "if it ain't me, babe, you better act like you ain't home" Treat me like a fool While you're out running 'round Said it's your brother knocking those Back doors down So when I packed up my things And walked out the front door You came crawling back to me, said you won't Do that shit no more Tell me, what kind of man What kind of man does that Hey, what kind of man What kind of man does that What kind of man What kind of man does that

So you and me, babe We've been here before Turning to run from every open door Subtle touch, my fingers in yours To speak when we can't find the words You move like you carry the world on your shoulders I've been living In the shadows Shine your light And pull me close You've got me at the mercy of your love I'm singing praises to your higher ground Show me I am strong enough To meet your glory bound Staring back at all my faults Fighting fears that drag me down You take me as I am At the foot of your higher ground Desperation and pain Enough to make my body shake You keep me steady when it crashes through like waves I am no simple love I am stuck in my own ways You ease my mind and turn the tide and lift me to where I am safe I've been fighting Letting go You came along And cut the rope You've got me at the mercy of your love I'm singing praises to your higher ground Show me I am strong enough To meet your glory bound Staring back at all my faults Fighting fears that drag me down You take me as I am At the foot of your higher ground I won't be your broken promise Let my heartbeat show I want this I won't be your broken promise Let my heartbeat scream I want this You've got me at the mercy of your love I'm singing praises to your higher ground Show me I am strong enough To meet your glory bound Staring back at all my faults Fighting fears that drag me down You take me as I am At the foot of your higher ground

Can't you tell what kind of mood I'm in? I want to drink your wine, I want to sip your gin Draw your marks all across my skin Save your prayers 'cause I don't mind sin Can't you tell what kind of mood I'm in? I wanna drink your wine, I wanna sip your gin Drink straight moonshine and call me back Say you wanna have another heart attack Do it well, yeah you do it right Can tell it's gonna be a hell of a night Do me well, you do me right ,yeah I can tell it's gonna be a damn good night Ooh, ooh Aah, ooh One step back and now walk this way I can tell you're a real home-grown earthquake Stomp your feet, make the whole room shake Bend your bones 'til they're about to break Stomp your feet, make the whole room shake yeah Bend your bones 'til they're about to break Ooh, ooh Aah, ooh My heart keeps running up a bar tab That I can't pay Maybe you and I could think of settling Some other way Can't you tell what kind of mood I'm in I wanna drink your wine, I wanna sip your gin Draw your marks all across my skin Save your prayers 'cause I don't mind sin Can't you tell what kind of mood I'm in? I wanna drink your wine, I wanna sip your gin Ooh, ooh Aah, ooh

I'm on the wrong side of the river The tide is high and I'm sinking low My oars are lost in the muddy water And I've got no place to go I see the skyline of the city It seems a thousand miles away It's getting too dark to tell apart The blood I've bled from the cold, red clay I'll make my way You'll see some day Just you wait until I make my money Just you wait until I get mine Then we'll see who's jokes are funny The we'll see who has that diamond shine I'm gonna trade my pain for pleasure The whole world is in my mind's eye My heart's an ember under pressure I'll dig to find that diamond shine I'm tired of standing in the shadows Too afraid to face the day When I find a voice to call out They all turn and walk away Well it's been an uphill battle But I'm bound to win the war And may God forgive the souls of those Who cut me down before Just you wait until I make my money Just you wait until I get mine Then we'll see who's jokes are funny The we'll see who has that diamond shine I'm gonna trade my pain for pleasure The whole world is in my mind's eye My heart's an ember under pressure I'll dig to find that diamond shine It's so hard to say a prayer With hands that hold me down They're pouring out their holy water Just so they can say they're standing on higher ground Just you wait until I make my money Just you wait until I get mine Then we'll see who's jokes are funny The we'll see who has that diamond shine I'm gonna trade my pain for pleasure The whole world is in my mind's eye My heart's an ember under pressure I'll dig to find that diamond shine
