Girl 02:58
Girl, oh, girl Grow- oh, how you grow But girl- he'll be a man real soon And girl- he's got designs on you Girl, oh, girl Give- oh, how you give And girl- he'll turn his eyes to you And girl- you'll know just what to do So chase it down And wrap around And you'll fly with your life And die with his lies So go, go, go And oh- oh no, you know That girl- he's going to blow your mind And girl- he'll waste your precious time

Over and over Look over your shoulder At all of the soot on the ground Oh, it's been falling down From the moment you got into town You're older, you're bolder You've never been colder You come in here looking for more And oh, you take all you can fit in your arms When you walk out the door You didn't even see it coming You know you should've seen it coming You might have even seen it coming You could have would have seen it all Could have would have had it all Father, oh father Your sons and your daughters They'll learn how to stand on their own Oh, when a slap on the left And a kick to the right's all they know Daily, or daily But then again maybe You'll learn how to love what you have Oh, if you'll find there is more to the scheme Than to give or to grab You didn't even see it coming You know you should've seen it coming You might have even seen it coming You could have would have seen it all Couldn't wouldn't shouldn't have to crawl So shoulder, grow older Don't ever grow colder And time will bring love to your side Oh, if you choose to refuse to sit tight while she passes you by And maybe, just maybe She'll take you there safely No more of your running around And over and over by nightfall You'll dance in the soot on the ground You didn't even see it coming You know you should've seen it coming You might have even seen it coming You could have would have seen it all Could have would have had it all

Crawling flat on broken glass To you, to you, to you Scratch it up and turn Catch a fire and burn For you, for you, for you Couldn't love you more See your face, for sure I do, I do, I do Try to behave, but it's all the same To you, to you, to you Cinnamon bone, cinnamon bone Pin a name on the wall And take your time Waste your time on me Hear the greater call come to break and fall On you, on you, on you Make a twisted face, walk a lighter way For you, for you, for you Get a loaded gun, take a hit and run From you, from you, from you Find another son, one day be done With you, with you, with you Cinnamon bone, cinnamon bone Pin a name on the wall And take your time Waste your time on Cinnamon bone, cinnamon bone Lovely days have Come and gone So take your time Waste your time on me Crawling flat on broken glass To you To you To you For you

Lily Love 03:07
Lily waits down by the park To come up pink when the moon grows dark And shine a light on every broken heart Lily floats when you fall apart She says, "Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Go and grow" Lily love will get her bees on the ground She'll take that honey and she'll lay it down Lily, keep that bee from flying away Tuck him into a daisy chain And tell him, "Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Go and grow" We're always on the run from the brightest change You'll make the same mistake but who will you blame? Well, you were flying high- built your nest in the sky And then I came along with my bow & arrow... Lily wakes when the fruit is here Air is clean and the water clear Lily love will keep it hangin' around Grab that tree and shake it on down And then Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Go and grow And grow
