Cause I Miss You – Griffin House

- Written and Performed by Griffin House

Soundtracks for Love Lies Bleeding (2008)

Lately I been praying I been talking to God but I been caught up in some serious doubt
I feel like I got cut and I can’t stop the bleedin’ but it’s good I’m lettin’ everything out
We were talkin’ ‘bout commitment how it weights on the soul
How it’s grave and how it’s scary as steel
How I’ve been looking for you since the day I was born
This is the way that I been tryin’ to feel
And I just don’t know what I’m gonna do
But I need to get to heaven ‘cause I miss you
100 miles an hour with a DUI you know they caught me on the 405
They pulled me over to the side of the road and said “you’re lucky kid to still be alive”
Are you sure you want to take me home to meet your folks
When afterwards you know where I gotta go?
I been trying to convince you that I’m not that bad
But it’s hard when you got nothing to show
And I just don’t know what I’m gonna do
But I need to get to heaven ‘cause I miss you
Well where your treasure is, is also your heart
You seek the kingdom and it’s given to you
I know it’s never worth it when you go out alone
You end up paying for the things that you do
So check it, I called her on the phone and told her everything
She was cool man she gave me some grace
Lord, don’t let me mess it up this time, God just get me out of this place
‘Cause I just don’t know what I’m gonna do
But I need to get to heaven ‘cause I miss you

 

 

“Rise to the Occasion” – Kurt nilsen

 

You’ve been down the dark detours
you have seen most of it all
Crashed into a million faces
but never listened to them talk
You got so much on your mind right now
it doesn’t even help to try
to solve them all

You used to smile when hope and a pat on the back
would last throughout the day
As the rain kept fallin’ down on you
you wouldn’t let them wash the feeling away
Hope itself dried out in you
as you heard your man walking away
without a word

And you thought:
Who’s gonna make my decisions
I can’t make’em on my own
Who’s gonna rise the occasion
when there’s no one around
Who the hell is gonna believe me
I don’t believe in myself
Who’s gonna be there forever
well it ain’t gonna be him

In case you didn’t know I really care for you
I just wish you all the best
If love should come and knock on your door
I hope it treats you with respect
I cannot count the times I’ve seen you oh just slip it away
cause of broken hearts…

And you thought:
Who’s gonna make my decisons
I can’t make’em on my own
Who’s gonna rise the occasion
when no one’s around
Who the hell is gonna believe me
I don’t believe in myself
Who’s gonna be there forever
well, it ain’t gonna be him.

Everybody is going away
I’m barely hanging on
do not lovers seek me
What am I doing wrong

Who’s gonna make my decisions…(2x)

The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die

Oh it doesn’t seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I’m sorry honey
If I don’t change the pace
I can’t face another day

chorus

And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn’t hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through

You’re a bluebird on the telegraph line
I hope you’re happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You’ll make it back somehow

[repeat chorus]

 

 

“New Day lyrics” – Griffin House

A new, a new day will come. When the children will run and laugh with the Son.
And you, you will be mine, in awhile. And honey that’s all I need.
Honey that’s I need.
Let me go now. If I shall be released. I’ve been here before. I’ve been deceased.
That redemption may come like a wave over me, run me still to the shore, pull me out of the sea.
I will walk through my garden of roses that fade and I wait for the day that is done.
And I will do, I will do, what ever it takes to believe a new day will come.

I’ve been down. I’ve been broken by shame. I’ve been carving too shallow a meaning out of my name. That redemption may come like a wave over me, run me still to the shore, pull me out of the sea.
I will walk through my garden of roses that fade, and I’ll wait for the day that is done.
I will do, I will do whatever it takes to believe a new day will come.

Oh where do we go to hide?
Oh where are we gonna hide?
Oh where are we gonna hide?

If I call out your name will you answer me now like you always have said that you would?
I will do, I will do, whatever it takes to believe.

Oh, I’m making a new life for myself.
Oh, I’m making a new life for myself.
Oh, I’m making a new life for myself.
Oh, I’m making a new life for myself.

Get me into the higher love
Where are we gonna hide love?
Get me in! Get me in to the higher love.
New Day, New Day New Day, New Day.

SHE’S ALWAYS A WOMAN LYRICS – BILLY JOEL

Happy Woman’s day to all

Dedicated to all the lovely Woman out there.

SHE’S ALWAYS A WOMAN LYRICS – sung by BILLY JOEL

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes,

She can ruin your faith with her casual lies,

And she only reveals what she wants you to see.

She hides like a child but she’s always a woman to me.

She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you,

She can ask for the truth but she’ll never believe you,

And she’ll take what you give her as long as it’s free,

Yeah she steals like a thief but she’s always a woman to me.

Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants,

She’s ahead of her time.

Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in,

She just changes her mind.

And she’ll promise you more than the garden of Eden

then she’ll carelessly cut you and laugh while you’re bleeding,

But she brings out the best and the worst you can be.

 

Blame it all on yourself cause she’s always a woman to me.

Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants,

She’s ahead of her time.

Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in,

She just changes her mind.

She is frequently kind and she’s suddenly cruel,

She can do as she pleases, she’s nobody’s fool,

But she can’t be convicted, she’s earned her degree,

And the most she will do is throw shadows at you

But she’s always a woman to me.
