Chloe & the Steel Strings

Lyrics

Breakin’ in Two

Don’t you know my hands are shakin’

My heart keeps breakin’ in two

Can’t you see my soul is achin’

I can’t stop, thinking about you

 

Cause I want you, if you want me

Cause I want you, if you want me

 

Hello, how you been?

Didn’t see you there

Were you coming in?

I’ve been sleepwalkin’, falling out of bed

Spilled my coffee, bumped my head

 

Down the driveway, down the street

‘Cross the boulevard, of my dreams

I’ve been sleepwalkin’, falling out of bed

Can’t get you out of my head

 

Don’t you know my hands are shakin’

My heart keeps breakin’ in two

Can’t you see my soul is achin’

I can’t stop, thinking about you

 

Cause I want you, if you want me

Cause I want you, if you want me

 

Hello, how you been?

I’ve been, sleepwalkin’

I’ve been sleepwalkin’

Didn’t see you there

Were you coming in?

Take a seat baby, let’s go for a spin

 

Down the driveway, down the street

‘Cross the boulevard, of my dreams

I’ve been sleepwalkin’

Sleepwalkin’

I’ve been sleepwalkin’

 

Don’t you know my hands are shakin’

My heart keeps breakin’ in two

Can’t you see my soul is achin’

I can’t stop, thinking about you

 

Cause I want you, if you want me

Cause I want you, if you want me

Stay Awhile

The sun is in the trees

The leaves they sparkle like

Sequins in the breeze

Let me tell you that I’ve never been here before

But I’m pretty sure I want to stay awhile

 

The flowers wave to meet me

And the ocean looks so glassy when it greets me

Let me tell you that I’ve never been here before

But I’m pretty sure I want to stay awhile

 

Won’t you sit next to me, baby and

See what I’m seeing?

Cause I’ve never been here before

But I’m pretty sure

I’ve never been here before

Have you?

I’ve never been here before

But I’m pretty sure I want to stay awhile

 

The sun is in the trees

The leaves they sparkle like

Sequins in the breeze

Let me tell you that I’ve never been here before

But I’m pretty sure I want to stay awhile

 

Won’t you sit next to me, baby and

See what I’m seeing? Ohhh

 

Cause I’ve never been here before

But I’m pretty sure

I’ve never been here before

Have you?

I’ve never been here before

But I’m pretty sure I want to stay awhile

 

I’ve never been here before

Ohhh, have you?

 

I’ve never been here before

But I’m pretty sure I want to stay awhile

I want to stay awhile

I want to stay awhile

I want to stay awhile

I want to stay awhile

Don’t You Worry

When life gives you trouble, and you don’t know what to do

Hands you a problem, and you haven’t got a clue

Don’t you worry hard my dear

Cause someone’s there, to help you through

 

When you feel the time is slipping, and you haven’t found your way

Lost your only purpose and somehow, you’ve gone astray

Don’t you worry hard my dear

Cause everything will be okay

 

Blurry eyes and worry lines that streak across your face

They all claim they know you, but they don’t know what you face

Don’t you worry hard my dear

You’ll move along at your own pace

 

Summertime and nursery rhymes that help you fall asleep

You’re lost inside your head again, you struggle counting sheep

Don’t you worry hard my dear

The morning sun will bring you peace

Wonder Why

Look at me

Count to three

Tell me one thing

Where you been

Keeps on tugging on my heart strings

Up all night

Check my phone

Babe I thought you knew me but you don’t

 

I sit and wonder

I sit and wonder

I sit and wonder why

 

Things were different once

She says to me

But tonight once is just a memory

Up all night

All alone

Babe I thought you knew me but you don’t

 

I sit and wonder

I sit and wonder

I sit and wonder why

 

Ohhh, Ohhh

Ohhh you said you love me, but you don’t know

Ohhh you said you love me, but you don’t know

 

I sit and wonder

I sit and wonder

I sit and wonder why

Why? Why? Why?

Morning in May

One morning one morning in May

I let the cool waters take my body away

And now no one shall speak of that morning in May

Cause they all just stood there watching my body float away

 

And it started only a fortnight before

I dream of her in daytime, and Lord

And at night, only more

 

Lord we’d be together forever

Well at least until

At least until the Fall

But now it seems we won’t even be

Together at all

 

For I felt the cold feeling just like the first winter’s frost

Settle on our love till we both became lost

 

So I tried to call her to come on back to me

If she wouldn’t I’d throw myself into the sea

If I can’t have that lady that I’ve had only twice (times three)

Then I’ll have none at all

 

So on that May morning

Down by the sea

I let the cool waters take my body from me

 

I waded until the water was past my knees

It was then that I felt my blood beginning to freeze

So I looked up at my God and I begged him please

I said “Hey Lord won’t you take me peacefully?”

Still no reply so I began to cry and I felt my tears beginning to freeze

 

I heard voices on the shore

They were starting to roar

They were calling

Calling out to me

 

But as I turned around

It was then that I found

Just how strong the sea can be

 

And now no one shall speak of that morning in May

Cause they all just stood there

Watching my body float away

Right as Rain

I’ve been driving down this winding road, baby

Twist and turning till it finally dead ends

I’ve been searching for a meaning to these words I’m singing

Why do I think these thoughts again and again?

There’s a desk downtown just waiting for me

A cup of coffee and some red lights home

I thought that life was made for everybody

Why am I so scared to be out on my own?

 

Ohhh said it’s alright, said it’s alright

It’s alright as rain

Ohhh said it’s, said it’s alright

It’s alright as rain

 

I’ve been watching the news on the TV, baby

These rights and wrongs we just can’t seem to work out

There’s a man down there in a big White House, baby

He thinks he runs this World, but I have my doubts

 

There’s a desk downtown just waiting for me

A cup of coffee and some red lights home

I thought that life was made for everybody

Why am I so scared to be out on my own?

Ohhh said it’s alright, said it’s alright

It’s alright as rain

Ohhh said it’s, said it’s alright

It’s alright as rain

 

I’m gonna be alright, I’m gonna be alright

I’m gonna be alright, I’m gonna be alright

I’m gonna be alright, I’m gonna be alright

I’m gonna be alright, alright as rain

Burn Bright

Don’t you know the answers

To the questions that I have?

Don’t you know the reasons

For those dreams that you had?

 

Cause it’s way down deep inside you now

Waiting to come back

Cause it’s way down deep inside you now

Waiting to come back

 

Don’t you know the seasons

Are a way to pass the time?

Don’t you know that people

Are bound to change their minds?

 

Cause it’s way down deep inside you now

Waiting to burn bright

Cause it’s way down deep inside you now

Waiting to burn bright

 

Do you know the time?

Do you know your mind?

Do you know your mind?

And could you tell me mine?

 

Do you know the time?

Do you know your mind?

Do you know your mind?

And could you tell me mine?

 

Don’t you know the answers

To the questions that I have?

Another Night, Another Day

Another night, another day

Same old story

Nothing much to say

Like a moth drawn to a flame

Another night, another day

 

Spinning around, spinning around

Which way’s up, and which way’s down?

(You’ve got your) Head in the clouds, head in the clouds

Don’t know when I’ll be coming down

 

Another song, another phrase

Always looking deeper

For something I can’t name

Like a dog out on a chain

Another night, another day

 

Spinning around, spinning around

Which way’s up, and which way’s down?

(You’ve got your) Head in the clouds, head in the clouds

Don’t know when I’ll be coming down

 

Spinning around, spinning around

Which way’s up, and which way’s down?

(You’ve got your) Head in the clouds, head in the clouds

Don’t know when I’ll be coming down

Don’t know when I’ll be coming down

 

I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know

 

Don’t know when I’ll be coming down

Don’t know when I’ll be coming down

Don’t know when I’ll be coming down
