Brandi Carlile – Keep Your Heart Young

My grandpa gave me a wee penny and I kept it in my pocket
Had big plans in my backyard to build me a space rocket
Talked to my brother on a fake CB that I made from a tic-tac box
Packed my snowballs nice and tight and in the middle I put rocks

Don’t trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of the chain
And don’t go spending grandpa’s pennies buying into the game
You gotta keep your heart young
Don’t go growin’ old before your time has come
You can’t take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young

Dad took the wheels off of my bike and he pushed me down a hill
But speed got the best of me and I took my first spill
That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts
Stung like hell so I shook my leg and mama said it would give me guts

Don’t trade in your tic-tac box for a ball on the end of the chain
And don’t go spending grandpa’s pennies buying into the game
You gotta keep your heart young
Don’t go growing old before your time has come
You can’t take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young

So take a picture of the one you love and put it in a locket
Go dig up your time capsule and the blueprints for your rocket
Keep in touch on a fake CB and that same old tic-tac box
Pack your snowballs a little less tight and in the middle still put rocks

And keep your heart young
Don’t go growing old before your time has come
You can’t take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young

You gotta keep your heart young
Sometimes you don’t die quick
Just like you wished you’d done
The love is a loaded gun
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
You can’t take back what you have done
You gotta keep your heart young

Brandi Carlile – Just Kids

We were just kids, just starting out
Didn’t we know then what love was about.
Were we just fooling, playing around
We were never gonna get out of this town.

Move to Seattle, stay up all night
That was when bedtime was our biggest fight.

U-uh-uhu, uuu-uuu
U-uh-uhu, uuu-uuu
All in a moment, all in a sound
All in a day’s work, we’re tumbling down.
Down by the old school, trash in the street
Searching the eyes of the strangers we meet
Asking will it get better?
Will we be alone?
Turning the wheels of our bicycles home.

U-uh-uhu, uuu-uuu
U-uh-uhu, uuu-uuu
Over the rainbow, out in the snow
Learning to walk with the sand in our toes
Long to be tall, kissed when you fall
Hopping that someone will come when you call.

You call (Repeats 12)

Brandi Carlile – In The Morrow

Found myself today, I took my cross up and walked away
With amazing grace and opened eyes.
Evem though I’m born to lose my way
Tomorrow comes on a hurricane,
When the weight of the world is on your mind.

In the morrow, I’ll be gone
I gave it everything I have for so long
Save your sorrow for your song,
Don’t we always find a way to carry on?!

No ones sees it coming
And no one walks when they should’ve been running,
Nothing hurts like knowing you’ve tried.
And we can see how years can slip away
In the cold dark nights and the long hard days
But nothing aches quite like goodbye.

In the morrow, I’ll be gone
I gave it everything I have for so long
Save your sorrow for your song,
Don’t we always find a way to carry on?!
X 3

Don’t we always find a way to carry on.

Brandi Carlile – Heart’s Content

Maybe you thought
I hung the moon
Maybe you thought
We were johnny and june
Maybe we thought
It was just us two
Maybe we spoke too soon

We never lie
And we don’t tell tales
We bite our tongues
And our fingernails
We fall in love
And we don’t fall out
Maybe we speak too soon

Here’s you and me
And in between
We draw a line
But we can’t see
Where it’s bend
We scratch our heads
And race against
The heart’s content

Oho oho oho oh yeah

Maybe we hurt
Who we love the most
Maybe it’s all we can stand
Maybe we walk through the world as ghosts
Break my own heart before you can

Here’s you and me
And in between
We draw a line
But we can’t see
Where it’s bend
We scratch our heads
And race against
The heart’s content

Ohoho yeah

Maybe we know how the story ends
Maybe it’s not even about us
We both retreat to opposing sands
And the love lives on without us

One thing I know for sure is
Love will find a way
Love will find a way

Here’s you and me
And in between
We draw a line
But we can’t see
Where it’s bend
We scratch our heads
And race against
The heart’s content

Oho oho oho
You and me
Oho oho oho
You and me
Oho oho oho
You and me
Oho oho oho oh yeah
