Everything (A.M. Limbo) lyrics - Blue October

So far...so far your life is in limbo

I..I can understand, and I know you're angry.

Um...please get that clarified by your therapist (your therapist, therapist...)

Your life is in limbo right now.

Your life is in limbo right now.

Your life is in limbo right now.

The Money Tree lyrics - Blue October

I'm standin' on an open world

I've gotta try so hard for myself

Not including the ones that I love

I call my family

It's not hard when your focus is a beautiful girl

A brand new baby, she's a baby girl

And yes she is a cutie like her mommy

She looks like her mommy

We both know who we are

And I'm not changing a thing,

I've never changed before

If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take

I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak

I'm wonderin' why I'm sittin' here, alone again

Why you always crush me,

Why it's never easy

Easy, easy, easy, it's not easy

This is you, this is me,

You won't be a part of what we need to be

Not for me, for the future of us three

For our daughter college, family, sudden-health emergencies

You think it's easy pickin' money off my Money Tree?

With two houses, both cars,

I paid off your fucking credit card debt,

Did you already forget? Huh?

You threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, huh

Just fucking leave,

Find a man who will put up with this

We both know who we are

And I'm not changing a thing,

I've never changed before

If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take

I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak

I can't help but think

Of how good you are with our baby daughter

Half the time a single mother

When I go away it's so that you can always stay home

And watch your baby grow, bring her up the right way

You never take it that way

We both know who we are

And I'm not changing -

I need support, not a slap in the face

You have to trust me or I'm sure this will blow up in your face

Our love was such an angel, she doesn't even know

We've torn each other down in ways we don't even know

We both know who we are

And I'm not changing a thing,

I've never changed before

If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take

I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak

I can't help but think

Of how good you are with our baby daughter

Half the time a single mother

When I go away it's so that you can always stay home

And watch your baby grow, bring her up the right way

It's me the one who has his family's future at heart

It's you the one who never wants a family apart

We both know that together we can only believe

That if we cut the shit there'd be no reason to leave

For The Love lyrics - Blue October

(Come here... babe why are you crying?

Because I want to stay with you

Your mommy loves you very much)

Communication,

I wait to see if we could ever get together and talk like we used to

We get together and we talk like we used to

But you don't want to

You want a separation

And now that's strike three

I tried everything, I work so hard for you

To constantly hear how I fail and abandon you

I put my heart in a dream

And now that dream it makes sure the baby - she has food to eat-and your fancy house gets paid for you hear me?

You never learned one thing, no, you never believed in me...

So if you're gonna leave-get out - just remember this is what I'm all about;

I do it for the love,

I do it for the rain,

I do it for the passion,

I do it for the pain

I do it for the rush,

I do it for the doubt...

I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about

I do it for my mom,

I do it for my dad

Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread

I do it for the audience who understands the need

Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed

So pack it up, pack it in

Write it up, write it down

Just remember I've told you it's what I'm all about

Wait wait wait...

I missed the tour where you told me not to come home again

An ex-boyfriend was taking my place at our first Lamaze

(You've gotta be kidding me)

How hard that was because 'cause your voice so crooked and wrong,

You bury your intentions like motherfucking nuclear bomb (nuclear bomb!)

I lived in a hotel room 'til the day she was born

And I never knew what words to say

That could get us through our first chance at divorce

You promised change and I believed

I walked right back into the same

So if you're gonna leave me ‒ go away

I do it for the love

I do it for the rain

I do it for the passion,

I do it for the pain

I do it for the rush,

I do it for the doubt

I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about

I do it for my mom,

I do it for my dad,

I do it for my sanity hanging from a thread

I do it for the audience who understands the need

Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed

I do it for my brother,

I do it for his wife

I do it for my manager, 'cause god he saved my life

I do it for the confidence

I do it for release

I do it 'cause I'm sick of feeling sadness full of peace

I do it for the sunshine

For my friends

I did it for you, for you over and over and over again

But you would never understand

So fuck it!

So pack it up, pack it in, write it up, write it down,

Just remember I've told you it's what I'm all about

(Get out! go away!)

I do it for the love,

I do it for the rain,

I do it for the passion,

I do it for the pain

I do it for the rush,

I do it for the doubt...

I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about

I do it for my mom,

I do it for my dad

I do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread

I do it for the audience who understands the need

Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed

I do it for the love

For the love

Do it for the love for the love

I do it for the love

Do it do it do it

For the love

For my daughter

So pack it up

Pack it in

Write it up write it down

Just remember I've told you it's what I'm all about.

Drama Everything lyrics - Blue October

Let me start with I've let you go

But you don't get it, though

Politely I've asked you to leave,

But still you follow

It's hard when you're full of heart

When the house you built just falls apart

Well keep the paint fresh, keep the outside clean

Make sure the neighbors see you wear that ring

Don't tell them a thing, they don't know you like me

You're the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"

Everybody stop, wait, look, see

You're the girl that could lie to my face

And fabricate a flood to get through to me

I went away and you found a replacement

So call him, don't call me

To the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"

You drama everything

I heard a good friend once say

"You got one life, live it, 'cause they'll take it away"

From both of us, one day, you know they will

So colour it up, colour it up

Say your last goodbye, I don't give a fuck

Bottoms up, just watch me walk away

I'm here to say that -

I don't need your sorry dreaming

What makes you think you can -

Tell me how I to feel or how hard I should fall

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, now you listen

Oh my, you're not anything I need in my life

No, you're not anything I even want

'cause they don't know you like me

You're the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"

Everybody stop, wait, look, see

You're the girl that could lie to my face

And fabricate a flood to get through to me

I went away and you found a replacement

So call him, don't call me

To the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"

You drama everything

Here's what you gotta do

Hold you head high

Shoot first, man, don't ask why

Yeah, you won't feel the pain at all

Well I guess I, grew this mind

I think for myself and I'm fine

No, I don't need anything from you at all

They don't know you like me

You're the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"

Everybody stop, wait, look, see

You're the girl that could lie to my face

And fabricate a flood to get through to me

I went away and you found a replacement

So call him, don't call me

To the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"

You drama everything

(Fabricate a flood to get through to me)

(So call him, don't call me)

You drama everything

Drama

So much drama

The Flight: Lincoln To Minneapolis lyrics - Blue October

No joke took a breath and then awoke

I was standing in an airport looking like a joke

Saying "Sir, can you help me?

Ma'am could you please?"

So they led me to the pay phone

Flaggin' down the police

"Mr. Officer I know who I am. But the rest of me,

My memory, I just don't understand

I do know that I'm unsafe, man with a plan,

Of gettin' on a plane

Fly away to kill a man"

Like a freight train threat to myself

I gotta history of blackouts, bad mental health so…

Both cops each arm alarm

No harm disarm pat down do the body check

Next thing I was walking on the airfield

Back seat I was headed to the hospital

I’m sorry for the drama that I bring

Through the screen he said

"Son you did the right thing"

Please help me understand

Why you can't talk man to man

But you can stand with your dick in your hand

Why you acting like a pussy, man?

Please help me understand

Why you can't talk man to man

But you can stand with your dick in your hand

You acting like a pussy, man

I was faithful to the wifey now we separated

Used to try to win her back I underestimated

Like a stone sinks down into the complicated fact

That you gave that ass up and never fucking dated

See you're better than that

You're a diamond he's a rough real tough, man

Call a brother back

Just a pussy with a dick

Stand up and be a fucking man

Hiding from the husband

Scared to make a peep and

Livin' up in Lincoln

Now I'm in the deep end

Think I'm gonna break in smash your fucking face in

Cut you up with lemon juice

And watch you try to fuck then

Please help me understand

Why you can't talk man to man

But you stand with your dick in your hand

Why you acting like a pussy, man?

Please help me understand

Why you can't talk man to man

But you stand with your dick in your hand

Acting like a pussy, man

Is that beat up...is that beat up yet?

(please help me understand)

(why can't talk man to man)

Is that beat up...is that beat up yet?

I wish that I were man enough

To turn my back and leave

To forget all the tricks you pull,

And hide them in my sleeve

I know what's best for table play,

I know what's best for me

I know this life is way too short, to let you kill a dream.

I know you're capable to only love me when I’m there

I know it's hell to keep the peace

Inside your heart and head

But I'm always gone and what you're left with is my song

You're sick of listening to anything turn me off instead.

You used to call me cool, believed in what I'd say

Never seen me as a failure or a mother fucking fake

But over time we changed into this little ball of hate

We shared a bedroom,

But the bedroom had a bed we never made so

I'm done with holding this in

I'm done with being a friend

I'd like it all to just end like brand new ink on a pen

No one can stop me….try to stop me...

Just try to stop me...

Please help me understand

Why you can't talk man to man

But you stand with your dick in your hand

You're acting like a pussy, man

Please help me understand

Why you can't talk man to man

But you can stand limp dick in your hand

You're acting like a pussy, man

Any Man In America lyrics - Blue October

I only note spending time away

I only note the truth is spoken

Best when brutally so honestly.

I'll let you know you set

The standards lyrically for me

One single middle finger

Say raise it up

My speech will always be free

Like Martin Luther King

You had meaning to me

Single-handedly saving music starving industry

A hip hop legend with skin like invisible ink

Black even though he was whiter than me

He was the first to be colorless

Speaking for all of us

Then you let us into your family

Mother father brother sister wife daughter

Damn right in front of me

That's when I miss my daughter desperately

Your mocking bird puts dents in me

While touring press and reliving my song hate me

I was losing custody

I never even saw that shit.

How she played me

And planned and sought it fit

To turn that trick and financially she would benefit

My first and probably only billboard hit

Was gonna pay for my two year old's college

I should have hid that shit

So she couldn't spend that shit

It took twenty years of working

Just to earn that shit

Now word for word I've listened,

Heard and I'm done.

Done.

[Chorus]

Like you don't know.

You act like you believe it.

That you're in control.

It's just your legal system though

They don't think about you

No they don't care about you.

Now every man in America take back your control

Like you don't know.

You act like you believe it.

That you're in control.

It's just your legal system though

They don't think about it

No, they don't care about it

Now every man in America take back your control.

So I kept my business quiet

Just like my lawyer said.

And I tried to focus all

My anger in my work instead.

I was succeeding at self reliant

But inside my soul is dead.

I had to be the sole provider

But not allowed to be the dad.

Literally they took her from me.

Legally they did! They did!

But I'm not a fucking book

So fuck your book in Lincoln I said

Fuck the judge. Fuck that county

Fuck your family too.

Yeah fuck everybody that took my baby girl, Blue

I'm way too strong

I work my ass off all day long.

And I'm gone for months at a time

And you keep sitting there and lying

Bitching "Come back home"

I hate you, hate you god.

And then you came back home

And filed for another fucking divorce.

I'm sick of crying I'm sick of you instead

I'm not sick, or stuck in my head.

Any other man in American can get screwed just like me.

[Chorus]

You won't understand, probably never will.

Listen slowly I'll let you know the deal

Lying ass play the judge with your crying ass

You had your nose wide open when you saw the cash.

Grimy bitch growing tired of you trying shit.

Women run the courts, men provide the chips.

Well eat up bitch until you had enough bitch.

But take my kids; you can kiss both my nuts bitch.

Telling lies cause daddy's always on the road.

But you the one fucking like a groupie at a show.

Money hungry so you try to take my youngest from me.

You a dummy honey I'll chase you across the country.

Bring the drama to you mama and you mama's mama

Cause we all know you chasing after commas.

Couple checks few houses and Gucci blouses

You changing dicks like you changing outfits.

Constitution now a day's got the daddies losing.

Lot of fathers getting fucked like prostitution

[Chorus 3x]

You Waited Too Long lyrics - Blue October

("If you think your marriage is so great, why the fuck are you turning to

Other people's wives for comfort? "

"Can... can I tell you what, what was going on here? "

"Yeah, please do.")

Did he really get to take you home?

I'm surprised that you chose him.

Surprised that I'm not in a halfway home.

I'm not surprised I never saw you around.

When they brought me home.

So who does this separation work for?

So which one of us will wage war?

War.

It's not about the feelings that we shared before.

No.

Cause your words don't calm anymore.

Gah, no more.

What did you want me for?

How do you call

What we have love when you don't even notice,

The look upon my face,

Yeah I've done this before,

You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.

Yeah you waited too long.

And did you really think I'd take it,

When information fabricated.

Look I give you credit for pathetically thinking that you could make this up.

Watch this.

She turns about face, he stays in her house invading your space.

Helpless, you know that I'm away,

A mac truck sitting in a hotel crazy

Red light on the phone.

Blinking like it's telling me there's something wrong or right

You don't... I need to know

How do you call

What we have love when you don't even notice,

The look upon my face,

Yeah I've done this before,

You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.

Yeah you waited too long.

How do you call

What we have love when you don't even notice,

The look upon my face,

Yeah I've done this before,

You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.

Yeah you waited too,

Yeah you waited too long.

This is urgent,

Call 'em emergencies

I don't know how to stop 'em.

More capgun than a pistol,

You fill your clip with lies...

Then load each one and fire it right over my head.

I need a finish line, this pressure's too high.

I should have seen the end was coming sooner than I ever did.

Reached down to the pit of my soul,

I found things that I didn't wanna know were there

I guess the wait is over.

Oh, how do you call

What we have love when you don't even notice,

The look upon my face,

Yeah I've done this before,

You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.

Yeah you waited too long.

Oh, how do you call

What we have love when you don't even notice,

The look upon my face,

Yeah I've done this before,

You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.

Yeah you waited too long.

The Honesty lyrics - Blue October

Let's get it straight

Let's get it straight from the top

You're beginning with your usual main ingredient

You're good at talking

When you say it

Are you meaning it?

I don't wanna give you my heart

If you're not completing it

I'm blown away at how your family

Your friends just accept it though

No one's ever told you "no"

Can't expect you to know how to love

When it was somethin' you were never taught

But honesty

Is the one true way to start again

Just be good to yourself and love goes unspoken

Instead of always broken

But honestly

When your heart decides

To let someone in

Just be cautious of the next one

You win

I never wanted to play what was mean to screw me up

But I see you're into playing it

Makes me feel sorry for the way you like displaying it

Now the truth is really told

You are betraying it

I gotta say

I don't think I ever felt you hold us up

Were you embarrassed by me?

Ohhh...

Somethin' I'm gonna have to pay for

But honesty

Shoulda been the one true way to start again

Just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken

Instead of always broken

But honestly

If your heart decides to feel again

Just be careful of the next one

How completely let down

How completely let down I feel

How completely in awe

When I can see it all

Now I can see it all

But honesty

Coulda been the one true way to love again

Just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken

Instead of always broken

But honestly

If your heart decides to love again

Just be thankful for the next one

*Thankful, Thankful, Thankful* [x3]

I'm gonna see it all [x2]

I can't wait [x2]

I'm gonna keep it up [x2]

I can't wait [x2]

I'm gonna see it all [x2]

I can't wait [x2]

I'm gonna keep it up [x2]

I can't wait [x2]

I'm gonna see it all [x2]

I can't wait [x2]

I'm gonna keep it up [x2]

I can't wait [x2]

I'm gonna keep it up [x4]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The Getting Over It Part lyrics - Blue October

I tried and tried

I tried so many things that wouldn't take

Like stop the leak, prevent the flood, some say

But nothing helped at all

And you're not listening to what I say

You waste the time for memories made

Communication has not made its way to your agenda for today

Or any other day

'Cause this is the last time I'm gonna say it

If you come around here, you know

We're gonna have some problems, though

'Cause yeah, we're over

Get over it, though

I've seen that look before

Leave that shit at your door

'Cause yeah, we're over

Get over it, though

Now I'm shouting out

You gotta hear me

Can you end this now

I'm tired of waiting

You don't get the point

And you don't get control

And we both have a chance

If you just let go

You can't have me tonight, tomorrow night, the next day

For anyone or anything

And anyway, I'm not asking you to stay

You're not my fucking problem, one you just throw away

Let's burn this house we built up down and simply walk away

If you come around here, you know

We're gonna have some problems, though

'Cause yeah, we're over

Get over it, though

I've seen that look before

Leave that shit at your door

'Cause yeah, we're over

Yes, we're over

I'm gonna win this conversation

Look who's got the microphone

I can't believe you're stuck on always trying to fuck me up

Yeah, I think you ruined us all

Yeah, I truly believe you fucking ruined us all

If you come around here, you know

We're gonna have some problems, though

'Cause yeah, we're over

Get over it, though

I've seen that look before

Leave that shit at your door

'Cause yeah, we're over

Yes, we're over

The Worry List lyrics - Blue October

I'm tired and twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark...

A could've been.

Don't be concerned, that's just the power of a breaking heart...

How good am I hiding it?

Look, I've got some bad intentions. Guilty as fucking charged.

Still standing stable, more than able, cause I know who you are.

I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed.

I regret them all, but

But now I know this;

I know that God exists. I held her in my arms.

I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.

Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way.

I'm really fine and Mar' there's nothing we haven't talked about.

So take me off your worry list, I said "Throw it away"

Yeah, this is what my life is about.

I might've been gone but I never walked out.

I've taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view

Of what kind of man would take the trust you break... and still follow through.

Cause I'm standing right here and you may not show up.

Our same gate 14 where honestly, I'm just sick of calling your bluff.

And it's just embarrassing. I nearly threw up.

While I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up.

And at the top of my list, this visitation is no relationship.

But I've got to make the best of it.

Cause I know;

I know that God exists. I held her in my arms.

I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.

Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way.

And I'm doing fine and I got plenty of friends around.

Take me off your worry list, just throw it away.

Well it's time to stand up on my own for her.

Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm coming today.

I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up.

Everything is quiet and covered in snow.

There's something wrong here... Nobody's at home.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Now, I'm back in the driver's seat.

Heading back home. Yeah, back to Texas... On my own.

Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way.

I'm doing fine and I got plenty of friends around.

Take me off your worry list, just throw it away.

It's time to stand up on my own for her.

I'm packing it up and I'm coming today.

This is what my story's about,

I might have been gone but I never walked out.

I'm packing it up and I'm coming today.

This is what your story's about.

My pretty little girl, can you figure it out?

If it helps to know so there is no doubt,

Just listen to the stories.

Not everything is glorious.

Some hurt. Some love. Some shout.

I fought the world and I lost that bout.

And you are what my album's about.

I might've been gone but I never walked out.

The Follow Through lyrics - Blue October

Pride

It leaves you hollow

Another attempt

Just to settle the score

A war, you know the one you built it up

It's real defining

Humiliation

Knocks at your door

And you say I blow up

I say you cave in

We never found the line between

The real and pretend

You know you should accept it

This is really the end

I know for sure, it's what I have to do

Is follow through

You're everything I ever want to be

The only one I ever need to know

I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep

And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

Yeah that's what I do

Yeah I follow through

Oh I follow through

And here I stand

I'm too close but still you're far away

You never tried but I did

And we still remain divided

Oh I can't believe that your heart's still beating

It's beating for me at all

How sad of you

But I'm not sad at all

And you say I blow up

I say you cave in

We never found the line between

The real and pretend

You know you should accept it

This is really the end

I know for sure, it's what I have to do

Is follow through

You're everything I ever want to be

The only one I ever need to know

I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep

And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

And as it falls down into night we run away

And once again divided

But each one knows just what we have to do

We do

We have to... follow through

I will lay down my heart

I will let you go

That's what's best for us all

I will lay down my heart (cause now we stand beneath the clouds and God above)

I will let you go (like we did before)

That's what's best for us all (but this time for her)

(I'll follow through)

Everything I ever want to be

The only thing I ever need to know

I'd wait for you till time lays down to sleep

And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

Hold my heart

Patiently

And take my hand

Walk with me

Cause when the evening comes

We'll set the world on fire

And I was wrong

Let me help you live on

You're everything I ever want to be

The only one I ever need to know

I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep

And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

And as it falls down into night we run away

And once again divided

But each one knows just what we have to do

We do

We have to... follow through

Hold my heart

Patiently

Take my hand

Walk with me

Cause when the evening comes

We'll set the world on fire

And I was wrong

Let me help you live on
