Mine To Love lyrics - Dave Barnes

You might wanna close your eyes
It’ll take some time adjustin’
Welcome to your life
You’re everything you’ll someday be

There’s a weight off my shoulder
There’s laughter in the air
You are the answer to every midnight prayer

You’re mine to love
We have all been waitin’ on you
You’re mine to love
Come into these open arms
It took some time to wait it out
But I see it now, you’re worth all the dreaming of
You’re mine to love
You’re mine to love

You might wanna take your time
Takin’ all this technicolor, yeah
We’re on your side
Let us be the one you need

There’s a life on my shoulder
Laughter in the air
You are the answer to all those midnight prayers

You’re mine to love
We have all been waitin’ on you
You’re mine to love
Come into these open arms
It took some time to wait it out
But I see it now, you’re worth all the dreaming
You’re mine to love
You’re mine to love

Every time that my heart was broken
Every time that I’ve lost my wings
I forget when I look into your face

You’re mine to love
We have all been waitin’ on you
You’re mine to love
Come into these open arms
‘Cause I’m right here
It took some time to wait it out
But I see it now, you’re worth the dreaming of
You’re mine to love
You’re mine to love
You’re mine to love
You’re mine to love

So you might wanna close your eyes


Heaven Help Me lyrics - Dave Barnes

Angelina's seen a lot of things
There are stories in her eyes
Hard up on the corner nearly everyday
Everyday I just drive by

Heaven help me
I can't help it
It's the furthest thing from my mind
Heaven help me
I can't help it
Nothing's changing when nothing's tried

Saw a picture on the TV screen
The one I've seen before
Another sorrow way across the sea
Another chance I just ignore

Heaven help me
I can't help it
It's the furthest thing from my mind
Heaven help me
I can't help it
Nothing's changing when nothing's tried

Hang on, have hope, help's on the way
I can't keep moving on
Thinking nothing's wrong
So I'm bringing on a brighter day
Bringing on a brighter day

Heaven help me
I can't help it
It's the furthest thing from my mind
Heaven help me
I can't help it
Nothing's changing when nothing's tried
I can't do it alone
Heaven help me


Love Will Be Enough For Us lyrics - Dave Barnes

Build a little cabin on a little tall hill
plan a little garden, pray for every meal
and we'll grow, and we'll grow
take a little nap in the butterfly grass
just you and I and the clouds a pass
and we're close, so close

we'll be living out where the river bends
where the grass gets green and the highway ends
living easy, easy
you and me baby and the daffodils the kids growing up in the rolling hills
and love will be enough for us

rains coming down on the old tin roof
a lullaby storm in the middle of june
falling slow, falling slow

we'll be living out where the river bends
where the grass gets green and the highway ends
living easy
you and me baby and the daffodils the kids growing up in the rolling hills
and love will be enough for us, oooooh, love, ooooooh, love, will be enough

wake up darling let's leave tonight,
we can disappear under the clear moonlight

and we'll be living out where the river bends
where the grass gets green and the highway ends
living easy
You and me baby and the daffodils the kids growing up in the rolling hills
and love will be enough for us

We'll build a little cabin on a little tall hill

Seventeen lyrics - Dave Barnes

She bought a ticket on a midnight train
To a place she'd never leave again
She blamed it all on her daddy's sins
I blamed it all on me

And I was just a foolish boy
It was love enough to fill the void
Said the words to hear the noise
It was deafening

I never knew that things would change
What we were then, what we became
Oh, we were seventeen

They found her there late that night
On a bed under hotel lights
Trying to make a couple wrong things right
Start over clean

She never did say goodbye
I never did apologize
I knew the words, but I could not lie
I just watched her leave
Watched her leave

I never knew that things would change
What we were then, what we became
Oh, we were seventeen

We wasted time, we wasted tears
We waved goodbye to golden years
Oh, we were seventeen

Beneath the wreckage there's a reason, a reason
Something they looked so hard to see
I took and placed the blame
But still I feel the same
Someone just say it wasn't me

I don't think about her like I should
I used to try but it did no good
She'd forgive me if she only could
We were seventeen


Missing You lyrics - Dave Barnes

You were a part of me
A part that I get can't back
I'll always lack
My life in came two
This is the second act
The healing half

Maybe this is how this goes
Nobody seems to know

We had a lifetime forever
You and me together
I'd pick you up and we go
Some place only we'd know
Summer, whole life
Stay up dreaming all night
There was so much for us to do
I guess I'm missing you

No you can't prepare
As soon as the call came in
The hurt began
All of us down here
I guess we're getting back
At least we try

And that's just the way it goes
Take it from one who knows

We had a lifetime forever
You and me together
I'd pick you up and we'd go
Some place only we know
Summer, whole life
Stay up dreaming all night
There was so much for us to do
I guess I'm missing you

I see you in the sunset
Before the night
You come on without warning
And I guess this takes time
But I know I'm gonna be fine
Without...

A lifetime forever
Of you and me together
I'd pick you up and we'd go
Some place only we know
Summer, whole life
Stay up dreaming all night
There was so much left here for us to do
I guess I'm missing you

(oh, I guess I'm missing) I guess I'm missing you



Find Your Way Home lyrics - Dave Barnes

All you saints and sinners
All you, troubled ones
Everyone forgotten
Everyone undone

We're all scared, don't worry
At this darkness that won't subside
But what you can't see
Will make sure you'll be alright

You'll find your way home
You'll find your way back home

Come on if you're worthy
Come on if you're wrong
There's a choir singing
Out a freedom song

We all need help, don't worry
This darkness will turn to light
What you can't see
Will make sure you'll be alright

You'll find your way home
You'll find your way back home

Just follow the light, you'll be alright
I swear that you aren't alone
You'll find your way home

I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
We'll keep waiting up
[x4]

You'll find your way home (We'll keep waiting up)
You'll find your way back home (We'll keep waiting up)

Just follow the light, you'll be alright
I swear that you aren't alone
You'll find your way home
(I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting, we'll keep waiting up)
You'll find your way back home
(I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting, we'll keep waiting up)
You'll find your way home

I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
We'll keep waiting up


Stories To Tell lyrics - Dave Barnes

Let's get to bed early
Sneak out right before the sunrise
We don't need all the goodbyes
We won't be gone for long
Oh, baby, don't worry
I hid away a little money
We don't need much, honey
Enough just to get us home

Let's don't wait til love comes undone

There's life to be lived
And stories to tell
Lessons to learn
We don't know yet
Nothing to lack, looking back
Knowing that we have lived it well
With stories to tell

What about California
LA out by the seaside?
Watch the sun turn to moonlight
Then stay up and talk til dawn
Maybe Carolina
Hide out up in the mountains
A week or two, no one's counting
Come back before too long

We won't wait til love comes undone

There's life to be lived
And stories to tell
Lessons to learn
We don't know yet
Nothing to lack, looking back
Knowing that we have lived it well
With stories to tell

The sea and the cities
The runway lights
The highway humming
Staying awake all night
How all those mountains
Turned to desert sand
Let's just disappear
Come on baby, take my hand

There's life to be lived
And stories to tell
Lessons to learn
We don't know yet

There's life to be lived
And stories to tell
Lessons to learn
We don't know yet
Nothing to lack, looking back
Knowing that we have lived it well
With stories to tell

The sea and the cities
The runway lights
The highway humming
Staying awake all night
How all those mountains
Turned to desert sand
Let's disappear


Warm Heart In A Cold World lyrics - Dave Barnes

Let your hair down onto this blanket, baby
Let's stare up at this Southern moon
And the stars that are falling, still falling
Oh, baby, I'm still falling

We've been through what we've been through, baby
You and I and these years gone by
And I'm falling, still falling
Oh, baby, I'm still falling

You are the light that guides me home
You are the place where my heart belongs
My only woman, my angel girl
You're my warm heart in a cold world
You're my warm heart
In a cold world

We don't need what we're missing, baby
All I need is to see you smile
I'm falling, still falling
Oh, baby, I'm still falling

You are the light that guides me home
You are the place where my heart belongs
My only woman, my angel girl
You're my warm heart in a cold world
You're my warm heart
In a cold world

We've seen the heartache
Lived through tears
At the end of the world
I'll still be standing here

You are the light that guides me home
You are the place where my heart belongs
My only woman, my angel girl
You're my warm heart in a cold world
You're my warm heart
In a cold world



One Of Us lyrics - Dave Barnes


Your mom and I, we're counting down
The days until that joyful sound,
When you turn the two of us to three.
It was time I guess, and heaven knew
And decided then to give us you.
God must know some things that we can't see.

And all we are, we are
Who we'll be, we'll be
Love and hurt, doubt and trust
Welcome to being one of us.

Your mother, well, she's strong and steady
Southern drawl and good lord, she's pretty
She's better than anything I dreamed
And honestly, I'm scared to death
I'll breathe at last at your first breath.
Everything you need, I'll try to be.

And all we are, we are
And who we'll be, we'll be
Love and hurt, doubt and trust
Welcome to being one of us.

As for you, we're soon to see
A room of blue or maybe pink
Mama's black or daddy's dirty blonde
Whoever you turn out to be
You're forever part of me
You turned me to a father from a son

All we are, you are
And who we'll be, you'll be
Love and hurt, doubt and trust
Welcome to being one of us

Little Lies lyrics - Dave Barnes

Everything is beautiful
Cotton fields
The open road
The radio plays a song
We both know we don't sing along

la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies

Words can be daffodils
Or a fire in an open field
I'm sittin here in the ash
Of stupid words I can't take back

la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies

There's a devil on my shoulder baby
Oohooh
And I believe too many things he says
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm fighting these fears
As I find them true
And I'm sorry for hurting you

la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies
la la la la la la la these little lies


God Gave Me You lyrics - Dave Barnes

I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you

There's more here than what we're seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel, lovely
Could somehow fall for me

You'll always be love's great martyr
I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you

On my own I'm only half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together and what love has tethered
I could never undo

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true

God gave me you
Gave me you
Gave me you


What I Need lyrics -Dave Barnes (feat. Jonny Lang)

I got a head full of dreams and time here to scheme
This ain't good, good
I'm thinking, you know, about what did and didn't go
Like it should, should

All of these expectations just mean my heart will be breaking
Oh, why can't I see?

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much, even when I'm down to dust

I trouble with time but its will was not mine
There was no slowin' where it was going
The wishes I willed, all came back unfulfilled
I was praying without patience

All of these expectations just mean my heart will be breaking
Oh, why can't I see?

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much, even when I'm down to dust

I keep calm, carry on, like nothing ever went wrong
That's what I'm gonna do, that's what I'm gonna do
Laugh it off, move along, get back where I belong
Live my life by leaning on you

Oh, lean on you, I'm gonna lean on you, yeah

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Even when there's way too much, even when I'm down to dust

You give me what I need
Even on my brightest day, even in a hurricane
You give me what I need
Oh, what I need, you give me what I need

Give me what I need


What We Want, What We Get lyrics - Dave Barnes

Baby, we are lying here
Pretending that we're both asleep
I can hear your broken heart
And every single breath you breathe

It's hard to find the words to say
When we both hurt like this
So I close my eyes and pray
Time will heal what we're bound to miss

No one can ever say
Why it goes this way

Sometimes what we want isn't what we get
Sometimes what we get ain't really what we want
Sometimes what we want isn't what we get
Sometimes what we get ain't really what we want

It seems for every one we win
There's another three we lose
We've waited for the answer here
Only just to leave confused

You know you're forever mine
And baby, I'm forever yours
I've waited in the darkest rooms
Ooh, waiting in the open door

No one can ever say
Why it goes this way

Sometimes what we want isn't what we get
Sometimes what we get ain't really what we want
Sometimes what we want isn't what we get
Sometimes what we get ain't really what we want

We've been so long wishing for things
We just keep forgetting that we
Got all we'll ever need in you and me, yeah, yeah
You and me, you and me, baby, yeah

Everything we have, anything we got
It was given babe, it was given, babe
There ain't a thing we need that heaven forgot
It was given babe, it was given, babe

Everything we have, anything we got
It was given babe, it was given, babe
Ain't a thing we need that heaven forgot
It was given babe, it was given, babe

Everything we have, anything we got
It was given babe, it was given, babe
There ain't a thing we need that heaven forgot
It was given babe, it was given, baby, yeah



Chameleon lyrics - Dave Barnes

Chameleon, you're breaking his heart
It's in pieces on the ground - all apart
There's nothing that that boy won't do when it comes to you

Chameleon, you know that it's wrong
But it's fun to have someone you can pull along
The way you treat that boy ain't fair, but he don't care

What does it mean if you know you don't mean it?
What does it say if you got nothing to say?

He's just your silly little thing hanging on a string
Waiting by the phone praying it'll ring
You know it ain't right
Cause you're never gonna do what he wants to
Kneeling by the bed, praying it true
You know it ain't right

Chameleon, what's he gonna do?
You gloss them lips, shake them hips
Honey, what's wrong with you?
He'll follow you wherever you go, and I know you know

You ain't gotta tell me, he fell too fast
But would you just tell him it ain't gonna last?
