I'll Back You Up

I'll Back You Up by Dave Matthews Band

I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would YOU like to dance
Around the world with me

I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know you're the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung
Around my head

And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest view
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up

I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other

I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know you're the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung
Around my head

And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest view
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up

If I Had It All

If I Had It All by Dave Matthews Band

Sometimes I cant move my feet it seems
As if Im stuck in the ground somehow like a tree
As if I cant even breathe
Oh, and my screams come whispering out

As if nobody can even see me
Like a ghost, sometimes I cant see myself
Sometimes, then again, oh

If I were a king
If I had everything
If I had you and I could give you your dreams
If I were giant-sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what in the world would I sing for
If I had it all

Sometimes I feel lost
As I pull you out like strings of memories
Wish I could weave them into you
Then I could figure the whole damn puzzle out
Then again, oh

And if I were a king
If I had everything
If I had you and I could give you your dreams
If I were giant-sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what in the world would I go on for
If I had it all

I could take anything
If I had no greed to bring
Only the poison thats tainting the clean
Oh, then nothing

Remembering times much younger than me now
When my breath was light
When the world raised me up kind

And here mother comforts child
Every moment was waking up
But now Ive grown tired... out

If I had it all, you know
Id fuck it up

If I were a king
If I had everything
If I had you and I could give you your dreams
If I were giant-sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what in the world would I sing for...

If I were a king
If I had everything, piece by piece
If I had you if I could give you your dreams
If I were giant-sized, on top of it all
Then tell me what in the world would I go on for
If I had it all

Grey Street by Dave Matthews

Oh, look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out onto Grey Street

And she thinks, "Hey
How did I come to this?
I've dreamed myself a million times around the world
But I can't get out of this place"
Now there's a loneliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together to grey
And it breaks her heart

Ya know she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
Though she knows well He doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her He might

She says, "I Pray!
But my prayers, they fall on deaf ears
Am I supposed to take it on myself
To get out of this place?"

Oh, there's a loneliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together to grey
And it breaks her heart

She hears the voices there outside her door
Say, "Take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
Oh, it'd take the work out of the courage"

But she says, "Please
There's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
And the end of the world"

Oh, there's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her
Using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together to grey
And it breaks her heart

Oh, it breaks her heart
To grey
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
It breaks her heart
On Grey Street
On Grey street
To Grey
