GREEN RIVER ORDINANCE – Under Fire

Curtains you made let the sun rays shine right thru
But your never gonna fix a thing
They only shine on you
Living our fairy tales we see on tv
And I’m singing all your lullabies from memory

Cuz I’m under fire
And I’m burning down slow
I’m walking on a wire
Won’t you let me go

I’ve listened to the mothers and fathers and lovers, too
Can’t help but see the good in you slip right on thru
All the while I’ve been fishing for a second chance
But we’re never gonna make it out alive on romance

Cuz I’m under fire
And I’m burning down slow
I’m walking on a wire
Won’t you let me go

Cuz I’m under fire
And I’m burning down slow
I’m walking on a wire
Won’t you let me go

Cuz I’m under fire
And I’m burning down slow
I’m walking on a wire
Won’t you let me go

GREEN RIVER ORDINANCE – Out Of My Hands

We were young and wild and free
Fighting in the love we couldn’t leave
Even on the way down
Even on the way down

You were standing there in your bare feet
See it in your eyes you wouldn’t leave
Even on the way down
Even on the way down

It’s out of my hands, breaking your heart
Letting you go and it’s my fault
Fooling ourselves, there’s no easy way out
When is it over now?

So many lines we tried to draw
Anything there to break the fall
Even on the way down
Even on the way down

You were the one who always said
Don’t let the doubts go to your head
Even on the way down
Even on the way down

It’s out of my hands, breaking your heart
Letting you go and it’s my fault
Fooling ourselves, there’s no easy way out
When is it over now?

So many things that I should say
If it even mattered anyway
The war has long been lost
Two sad souls that can’t count the cost

But love is just an open flame
We burn ourselves just to feel the pain, no
When is it over now? When is it over now?
Over now, over

It’s out of my hands, breaking your heart
Letting you go and it’s my fault
Fooling ourselves, there’s no easy way out
When is it over? When is it over now?

When is it over now?
When is it over now?
When is it over?

What are we, just flesh and blood and irony
We eating from the poison tree
Just trying to find our way back home

And the ground when I’ve lost control
With me in my darkest hour

And the beat of her heart
Moves an ocean in me
And I can’t help but sing

Honey, heal my broken heart
I’m freezing underneath
And I’ve been here waiting patiently

Honey, ease my restless mind
I cannot get to sleep

Fading like a distant star
Holding back the missing parts
And she found the good in me
When I couldn’t see

Everywhere I go these days
She’s never really far away
With me in my darkest hour

And she’s moving my feet

[Chorus]

She gives me love
Oh no she gives me love
I’ve never known love like this could be

You bring back the life in me

GREEN RIVER ORDINANCE – Getting Older

Give me time and give me space after all these years here
Survey says we’ve lost our way
Remember back when we were young
It was easier to love, now we are falling

I don’t wanna spend my life running
Scared of what we’re becoming
It’s never what they told ya
I guess we’re getting older

I don’t wanna spend my life waiting
Watching while we all keep changing
I guess we’re getting older
I guess we’re getting older

It’s been so long here trying to mend
The cracks we are falling in
Still they slip from under our feet
And we’re falling fast, we’re falling

I don’t wanna spend my life running
Scared of what we’re becoming
It’s never what they told ya
I guess we’re getting older

I don’t wanna spend my life waiting
Watching while we all keep changing
I guess we’re getting older
I guess we’re getting older

I don’t wanna spend my life running
Scared of what we’re becoming
I guess we’re getting older
I guess we’re getting older

I don’t wanna spend my life running
Scared of what we’re becoming
It’s never what they told ya
I guess we’re getting older

I don’t wanna spend my life waiting
Watching while we all keep changing
I guess we’re getting older
I guess we’re getting older

GREEN RIVER ORDINANCE – Endlessly

She is my rock and my rolling thunder
I’ve been the spell she was under
I, I love that girl

She is my cigarettes and champagne
She’s got me strung but I’m not running
I, I love that girl
I, I love that girl

She is the days I can’t get over
She is the nights that I call home endlessly
For you I’ll always wait

Caught in the waves of hesitation
Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly
For you I’ll always wait
For you I’ll always wait

She is the flame and the fire she’s raging
I’ve been the spark and the war she’s waging
I, I love that girl

She came along and she spoke so sweetly
Changed everything, took my heart completely
I, I love that girl
I, I love that girl

She is the days I can’t get over
She is the nights that I call home endlessly
For you I’ll always wait

Caught in the waves of hesitation
Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly
For you I’ll always wait

And the city buzz and empty cars
It’s 3 a.m. I wonder where you are
And the crooked smiles and worn out miles between us
Now I wonder where you are

She is the days I can’t get over
She is the nights that I call home endlessly
For you I’ll always wait

Caught in the waves of hesitation
Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly
For you I’ll always wait
For you I’ll always wait
For you I’ll always wait

GREEN RIVER ORDINANCE – Don’t Be Afraid

There’s a ringing in my head, there’s a ringing in my heart
That don’t belong
Drowning desperately in red
I know all the things I’ve said that don’t belong
And heavy hearted, I hear it calling

Don’t be afraid, any longer
But don’t be afraid, you’re so much stronger
Than this

There are lines we haven’t crossed
Aspirations that we tossed along the way
Even though we said we could
I just shook my head and stood there
In the way
And heavy hearted, I hear it calling

Don’t be afraid, any longer
But don’t be afraid, you’re so much stronger
Than this, know my love is here

There’s a spark in the way, of the dream that will no fade
It’s a light, in the dark, and you cannot find your way
Whoa, whoa.
There’s a spark in the way, another dream that will not fade,
There’s a light in the dark, that’s found your way

But don’t be afraid, any longer
But don’t be afraid, you’re so much stronger, you’re so much stronger
Than you used to be
You’re so much stronger, you’re so much stronger
Than you used to be
Know my love is so much stronger

GREEN RIVER ORDINANCE – Dark Night

Oh my God
It won’t be long before I fall
You’ve got to, go to get up, get up

Where do we run when everything turns to dust
If everything is losing touch, will I find you

No way we’re going to part this sea if I can’t find you

Oh my god
It won’t be long before I fall
Oh my god.

Barely make your voice on the line
The fresh taste of the mistakes pray these words come out ride

GREEN RIVER ORDINANCE – Heart Of The Young

Time has got the best of us
& for God the rest of us
Sit on down & watch TV
Trying to find the piece of sanity
Will we ever get back innocence
& get lost in all the little things we care

Whoa, we’re not gonna stand for this
With love we fight injustice
Ready or not here we come
We are hope, we are the heart of the young

Trapped in [?] we’re going down
With trembling hands we hold our ground
Ancestors fire their way
Through hate & worthless barricades
Will we ever take back innocence
& get lost in all the little things we care

Whoa, we’re not gonna stand for this
With love we fight injustice
Ready or not here we come
We are hope, we are the heart of the young

Feeling like a broken record that I can’t escape
(We are, We are)
Watching it in slow motion, wishing it would go away
Feeling like a broken record that I can’t escape
(We are, We are)

Whoa, we’re not gonna stand for this
With love we fight injustice
Ready or not here we come
We are hope, we are the heart of the young
