Hootie & The Blowfish Lyrics

New Year's Day lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

From the second that you walked in, everything around me changed

Though I don't know where you've been, I know I'll never be the same

Hear the heartbeat in my chest, makes me feel I'm bulletproof

Whatever happens is worth the risk, I got a feeling, you feel it too

Come on baby, let me take your breath away

Forget about our worries that was yesterday

Make a toast to all those champagne castaways

Come on babe, let's kiss just like it's New Year's Day

Yeah, you're in my wildest dreams, you're living in my favorite songs

Every time you look at me, I can't help it you turn me on

Come on baby, let me take your breath away

Forget about your worries that was yesterday, oh, oh

Take a trip to all those champagne castaways

Come on babe, let's kiss just like it's New Year's Day (ooooo)

Like it's New Year's Day (oooo)

Just like it's New Year's Day (oooo)

Hold on to the moment babe, kiss me like it's New Year's Day

Come on baby, let me take your breath away

Forget about our worries that was yesterday

Make a toast to all those champagne, champagne castaways, oh

Come on babe, let's kiss just like it's

Kiss just like it's New Year's Day (oooo)

Oh, oh, just like it's New Year's Day, aw (oooo)

Just like it's New Years, New Year's Day

Come on babe, let's kiss just like it's New Year's Day

Miss California lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

(live version)

Blue jean shorts and a sweater

I didn't know if she was hot or cold

I told her on the day that I met her

I was never gonna let her go

There's a spark in her eyes when she's smiling

Lights a fire in my soul

When she touches me the flames get higher

And it's burning out of control

The years go by

My heart knows I

Miss California

Highway one

Halfway to Hollywood

Miss California

Sunset dipping in the water never looked this good

I just wanna watch her all day

But she comes in and out like a wave

She puts her moonlight lips on my face

And she goes

There she goes

Miss California

Putting Xs on a page counting down the days

Until the summer was gone

Sex on the beach and her older brother's weed

Polaroids and Coppertone

The years go by

My heart knows I

Miss California

Highway one

Halfway to Hollywood

Miss California

Sunset dipiing in the water never looked this good

I just wanna watch her all day

But she comes in and out like a wave

She puts her moonlight lips on my face

And she goes

There she goes

Miss California

Oh...

Miss California

Oh...

Miss California

Highway one

Halfway to Hollywood

Miss California

The sunset dipiing in the water never looked this good, oh, no

I just wanna watch her all day

She comes in and out like a wave

She puts her moonlight lips on my face

And she goes

There she goes

Miss California...

She's Miss California

Yeah...

Oh...

Miss California

Wildfire Love lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish (feat. Lucie Silvas)

Sunday morning and I'm waiting for a train, darling, I'll be gone for a while

Don't know how to ask but baby, will you wait, you know the world gets lonely sometime

A rolling stone in the desert, a wind that blows in the trees

Through the storms and bad weather babe, the only thing that we need

Is love, burning love, well it's a wildfire love

Taking everything it sees

And, it's a love, red hot love, well it's a wildfire love

Baby, that's just you and me

There were times when I was far away from you and I saw your face in the stars

On the road again and counting down the days, wishing you were here in my arms

A boat that flows on the river, a bird that soars on the sea

Through the storms and bad weather babe, the only thing that we need

Is love, burning love, well it's a wildfire love

Taking everything I see

Yeah, it's a love, red hot love, well it's a wildfire love

Baby, that's just you and me, oh

We were never just a waste of time maybe you should see the way we shine

See the lights from a thousand miles away, yeah

Girl, without you I would lose my mind, you're living proof that love is blind

All I want in the world is you and me

Yeah, and our love, burning love our wildfire love

Taking everything we see, yeah

Our love, red hot love, well it's a wildfire love

Maybe that's just you and me

Oh, that's just you and me

Hold On lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Only heartbreak on the 6 o'clock news

They ought to call it the 6 o'clock blues

Seems like this whole world is going wrong

There ain't no kind of love song

We gotta hold on, we gotta hold on

There ain't nothing that a little love can't get us through

We gotta hold on, when it feels like hope is gone

There is a remedy for you and me

We gotta hold on to each other, yeah

People say, let it go

That's just the way it is, don't you know

But I don't see how it can do any harm

To keep reaching out with open arms, yeah

We gotta hold on, we gotta hold on

There ain't nothing that a little love can't get us through

We gotta hold on, when it feels like hope is gone

There is a remedy for you and me

We gotta hold on to each other, yeah

Oh to each other now, now

Everybody (everybody), understands (hold on)

Everybody needs a helping hand

Oh, everybody, yeah (everybody)

They understand now everybody needs, everybody needs a helping hand, y'all

We gotta hold on, we gotta hold on

There ain't nothing that a little love can't get us through

We gotta hold on, when it feels like hope is gone

There is a remedy for you and me

We gotta hold on to each other (hold on), yeah (hold on)

Oh to each other, yeah

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on)

Oh to each other, yeah

Turn It Up lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Once there was a thankless leader blinded by a golden ring

Now there's no more peaceful gatherings

Take me 'cross the aisle now baby, let me see how y'all get down

Take a hopeful sound and make it loud

I said, turn it up

When I've had enough

I wanna feel the love

Turn it up (turn it up, oh)

Once there was a paradise where a boy saw suffering

He raised his voice up loud and began to sing

Oh, all the people gathered 'round him, he cried out a freedom song

Everyone began to sing along

Oh, he said, turn it up

'Cause I've had enough

I wanna feel the love

Yeah, oh turn it up (turn it up, oh)

They said, be quiet little girl but you amplified the sound

Of a million broken hearts from all around

You can hear the children crying

It's not safe to go outside

We're free but we gotta keep our kids alive

Oh y'all, we can't let 'em down

Turn it up

'Cause I've had enough (oh, yeah)

I wanna feel the love

Ah c'mon, turn it up

Turn it up, oh

'Cause I've had enough (turn it up, oh)

I wanna feel the love

Oh, yeah, turn it up

Ah, turn it up, turn it up

Not Tonight lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Don't need reason, don't need a rhyme

French champagne or a box of wine

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

She can shake it up, she can break it down

Cool blue jeans or an evening gown

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

She don't ask for roses, she don't ask for much

She says, if I'm all she's got, she's got more than enough

I get so low solo, she gets me back high

She says, Mondays are just Fridays in disguise

And hey babe, it's gonna be alright

I don't need a reason, don't need a rhyme

French champagne or a box of wine

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

She can dress up, she can get down

Cool blue jeans or an evening gown

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

No, not tonight, no, not tonight

I don't need perfection, she don't mind mistakes

If she's all I got, then I've got more than I can take

She's says hey babe, it's gonna be alright

I don't need a reason, don't need a rhyme

French champagne or a box of wine

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

She can shake it up, she can break it down

Cool blue jeans or an evening gown

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

No, not tonight, no, not tonight

Let it go, let it grow

Let it fade away with the light

We can worry about it tomorrow but not tonight

Let her go, let her grow, let her fade away with the light

We can worry about it tomorrow but not tonight

No, not tonight, no, not tonight

I don't need a reason, don't need a rhyme

French champagne or a box of wine

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

She can break it up, she can shake it down

Cool blue jeans or an evening gown

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

No, not tonight, no, not tonight

We can worry about it tomorrow but not tonight

We Are One lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

We are one, you and I, we don't even have to try

It's supposed to be this way

Like a sun shining light in the middle of the night

Girl, you brighten up my day

We are one, you and I, like the color of the sky

When the clouds are blown away

So much fun, you and I, we don't need a reason why

And together we will stay

And oh, it's magic

When a chill is running down my spine

Here we are (we are one, you and I)

Oh, yeah, here we are (we are one, you and I)

Here we are, where no one else can ever be

I am apart of you and you're part of me

We are one, you and I, to the left or to the right

Meet you somewhere in between

Like a child whose eyes never noticed black and white

'Cause it's all they've ever seen

We are one, you and I, up until the day we die

And forever on it goes

So much fun, you and I, let your soul and spirit fly

Where we end up no one knows

And oh, it's magic

When a chill is running down my spine

Here we are (we are one, you and I)

Oh, yeah, here we are (we are one, you and I)

Yeah, yeah, here we are where no one else can ever be

Yeah, I am apart of you, you're part of me

We are one, you and I

Everybody But You lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

When you walk in a room everything stops

And all eyes turn to you and every jaw drops

My friends keep on, keep on askin' what I did to make this happen

Why's a beauty queen standing here with me

Everybody sees, everybody knows

Everybody but you-oo-oo

Sees everything so different than you do-oo-oo

Thank God that you don't listen

When they say that you're too good for me and that you're way out of my league

That's okay as long as it stays true to everybody but you-oo-oo

I wish that I could say

You love me 'cause I'm funny or maybe for my brain

We know it ain't the money, no

The truth is, truth is you're the one with all the smarts and all the fun

I'm just a lucky man

Everybody understands

Everybody but you-oo-oo

Sees everything so different than you do-oo-oo

Thank God that you don't listen

When they say that you're too good for me and that you're way out of my league

That's okay as long as it stays true to everybody but you-oo-oo

Oh, everybody but you

Everybody sees it, everybody knows it's true

Everybody says it every time they're around me and you

Everybody sees it, everybody knows it's true

Everybody, everybody, everybody, yeah

Everybody but you-oo-oo

Sees everything so different than you do-oo-oo

Thank God that you don't listen

When they say that you're too good for me and I know you're way out of my league

That's okay as long as it stays true to everybody but you-oo-oo (everybody but you)

Oh, everybody but you-oo-oo (everybody but you)

Everybody but you-oo-oo (everybody but you)

Yeah, everybody but you

Lonely On A Saturday Night lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I just can't believe you're here alone

Sittin' in the corner while a party's going on

My heart made my feet walk up to you

There's so many things that we could do

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely (shouldn't be lonely)

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely

Lonely on a Saturday night

(Oh, yeah, yeah)

An angel by herself, I don't understand

Tell me where's your friends and where's your man

If I bought you a drink, would you tell me your name

'Cause if I didn't ask, I'd leave here ashamed

'Cause someone like you shouldn't be lonely (shouldn't be lonely)

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely (shouldn't be lonely)

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely

Lonely on a Saturday night

(Oh, yeah, yeah)

Lonely on a Saturday night

(Oh, yeah, yeah)

Straight off the cover of a magazine

Dancing right up close to me

Best damn woman that I've ever seen

Oh, yeah

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely

Can I be lonely with you tonight

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely (shouldn't be lonely)

Someone like you shouldn't be lonely

Lonely on a Saturday night

Oh, yeah, yeah

Lonely on a Saturday night

Oh, yeah, yeah

Lonely on a Saturday night

Why lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Baby, I don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna miss a moment with you

Won't let the stars fade tonight

Tell me too and I will shoot down the moon

Don't you keep me guessing, here's my only question

Why baby, why waste a moment like this

Give me all you've got to give

Let me be the one you can't resist

Why, tell me why would we ever deny

What feels so damn right

If this is the where and now's the when then tell me why

Why, why, why, why

When a million little things add up

To something that we both can't explain

We can say nothing at all

'Cause your eyes say everything

Why, baby why waste a moment like this

Give me all you've got to give

Let me be the one you can't resist

Why, tell me why would we ever deny

What feels so damn right

If this is the where and now's the when then tell me why

Why, why, why, why

You're in my head, you're in my heart

In the hands of fate

I want you in my arms

Why, baby why waste a moment like this

Give me all you've got to give

Let me be the one you can't resist

Why, tell me why would we ever deny

What feels so damn right

If this is the where and now's the when then tell me why

Oh, oh, tell me why

Why, why, why, why

Rollin' lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Some days you're sittin' on top of the world

Some days you're stuck in a hole

Sometimes the only thing left to do, is watch it go up in smoke

Can you say, woah now, woah now, let it all go

Just let it all go

'Cause that sun's gonna shine

Leavin' these clouds way behind

Some things just look better in the rearview

Feelin' these wheels turn around

Burnin' this road up town to town

Play that hand you're holdin' and just keep rollin'

Let the tide come on in on the coast of Carolina, baby, roll in

I don't wanna know where we're going now, now

Don't know about you, but I could sure use

A little more salt in my breeze

A little less work, a little more play

A little more sway in my trees

With the windows down

'Cause that sun's gonna shine

Leavin' these clouds way behind

Some things just look better in the rearview

Feelin' these wheels turn around

Burnin' that road up town to town

Play that hand you're holdin' and just keep rollin'

Let the tide come on in on the coast of Carolina, baby, roll in

Yeah, I don't wanna know where we're going, yeah, no

'Cause that sun's gonna shine

Leavin' these clouds way behind

Some things just look better in the rearview

Oh, oh, yeah

Feelin' these wheels turn around

Burnin' these roads up town to town

Play that hand you're holdin' and just keep rollin'

Keep on rollin'

Gotta keep on rollin'

Oh, rollin'

Keep on rollin'

Half A Day Ahead lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I feel the daylight slipping

The summer sunshine winding down

I feel the warmth escaping another time, another town

I was redirected

Radio silence tuned me in

I felt more connected than anywhere I've ever been

Half a day ahead

Where night and day collide

Nothing changes between sunset and sunrise

Side by side, we watch our future come alive

Half a day ahead

City full of water

Islands drift into the skies

The reflected skyline, everlasting old and wise

I'm thankful for my sisters, oh, my brothers take me in

Slow me down a little, sing open up your heart and win

Half a day ahead

Yeah, where night and day collide

Nothing changes between sunset and sunrise

Side by side, we watch our future come alive

Half a day ahead

Where night and day collide

Nothing changes between sunset and sunrise

Side by side, we watch our future come alive

Half a day ahead

Change lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

How can I pretend

That from the start until the end

I'll get to keep the things I love

No matter how I plan

My world keeps shifting like the sand

When I try to hold on it all just slips away

And I pile my expectations

But winds of change come in and blow 'em down

As I grow old one thing stays the same

Always waiting there to meet me is change

And how the kids have grown

You can't turn back the clock, I know

I wish that time could just stand still

I find a chapter in my life

Good friends, a home I really like

I can't stop the pages as they begin to turn

And I find my inspiration

Like a candle the flame gets blown away

And as I grow old one thing stays the same

Always waking up to greet me is change

I wish I had more time

I wish that I could be a smile

Out on this road alone

I wish that I could stay home a while

And as I grow old one thing stays the same

Always waiting there to meet me is change

Always waking up to greet me

Trying so damn hard to beat me

Always waiting there to greet me is change

Losing My Religion lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

(originally by R.E.M.)

Oh life, it's bigger

It's bigger than you

And you are not me

The lengths that I will go to

The distance in your eyes

Oh no, I've said too much

I set it up

That's me in the corner

That's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no, I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper

Of every waking hour

I'm choosing my confessions

Trying to keep an eye on you

Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool

Oh no, I've said too much

I set it up

Consider this

Consider this, the hint of the century

Consider this, the slip

That brought me to my knees, failed

What if all these fantasies come

Flailing around

Now I've said

Too much

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

That was just a dream

That's me in the corner

That's me in the spotlight

I'm losing my religion

Still trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no, I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

Oh, that was just a dream

Try, cry, why try

That was just a dream

Just a dream

Just a dream, dream

Looking For Lucky (2005)

Another Year's Gone By

State Your Peace lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Why am i always the last one to say how i feel?

It's like driving down the middle of the road

with no hands on the wheel

And i keep hearing stories about the guy who was killed while he prayed

Well you should go ahead and say it 'cause we're all gonna die anyway

State your peace,

go ahead and say it i swear it can't get much worse

Make a piece of history,

a blessing from a curse... before it gets worse

You can try and be a hero but people keep dying everyday

You can keep earning money but your money keeps burning away

And it feels like the future's always waiting on the tip of my tongue

Like a cat holding back 'till it's too late the damage is done

State your peace,

go ahead and say it,

I swear it can't get much worse

Make a piece of history,

a blessing from a curse... before it gets worse

You can try and change the world by showing everyone a better way

But the world's gonna do what the world's gonna do at the end of the day

State your peace,

go ahead and say it,

I swear it can't get much worse

Make your peace with history,

a blessing from a curse

State your peace

blow it wide open, did you find you an oyster pearl

Make your peice with history

you just might be the one who can change the world

Can you save the world

You can change the world

Hey Sister Pretty lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Something so innocent,

began then came and went

keeps coming back to around to haunt you in the end.

You think we're fighting now,

it's all the same somehow,

loves tortured all artist wrecks the masterpeice again.

Used to be clear what the looking glass said,

now everythings hazzy baby nothings making sense.

Hey sister pretty, your lips are on the city,

everybodys waiting for the honeymoon to end.

I'm still trying to stop this thing from dying,

don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up again.

Nothing so powerful yet so frustrating,

Nothing so personal as a gift thats from your heart.

Nothing so damaging so devestating,

Nothing so closer yet so far apart.

It used to be clear what the looking glass said,

now everythings hazzy baby nothings making sense.

Hey sister pretty, your lips are on the city,

everybodys waiting for the honeymoon to end.

I'm still trying to stop this thing from dying,

don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up again.

Hey sister pretty, your lips are on the city,

everybodys waiting for the honeymoon to end.

I'm still trying to stop this thing from dying,

Don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up again.

Don't forget to kiss me before you beat me up you beat me up again

The Killing Stone lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I heard a preacher man speaking on the radio

Remember thinking that I'd like to tell him where to go

Go back to that book that you've been waving around

Open it up, and go to that part about

You without sin, pick up that stone

He's turning it over, to the other side

He's turning it over now, 'cause now you can't hide

All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath

The killing stone, oh

Saw another fella talking on the TV show

Trying to tell me how to live and just how I should vote

He says he believes in the sanctity of life

100,000 died

Tell me are you sanctified

Now you without sin, pick up that stone

You without sin, pick up that stone

He's turning it over, to the other side

He's turning it over now, 'cause you can't hide

All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath

The killing stone, oooohhhh

We're all looking for redemption

But is it for our souls

You without sin, pick up that stone

He's turning it over, to the other side

He's turning it over, turning it over now 'cause you can't hide

All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath

You can't hide beneath

The killing stone, oh, oh, oh

Killing stone

Oh no, you're down on

(The killing stone)

Stone, stone, oh

(The killing stone)

Stone

Get Out Of My Mind lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Last night had a crazy dream

You were everywhere it seemed

You were filling up my soul

Doin' everything to make me whole

Read about you in the Sunday paper

Saw your face on the evening news

When I woke everything was gone

And I remembered we were through

Don't come 'round here no more

[CHORUS:]

Hey get out of my mind

Then you tell me we got things to say

You come around here looking so fine

Makes it so hard to walk away

Oh, get out of my head

Because that look there could leave me dead

Then you tell me that you love me

Remember you were the one to leave

I came back home and I couldn't believe

I know I would have given anything

You took it all and you made me think

Why would she leave me for another man

What does he have, Lord, that I don't have

I see you stayin' in his fancy home

I put on Lauren and I drink alone and say

Don't come 'round here no more

[chorus]

I'll be there for you

I remember when I said that I would

Always love you, too

I lied

Don't come around no more

[chorus]

[repeat]

Another Year's Gone By lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Oh my God what do I see, over my shoulder

Now that a year's gone by

Can't escape this memory, its burning brighter

Now that a year's gone by

And I try, not to linger, but I'll still cry

Now that a year's gone by

I hope we'll try to find some peace

Take from our history what is meant to be

Eventually the truth is plain to see

Another year's gone by

Oh my God it's part of me, this burning anger

I feel the fever rise, fill my heart with harmony

Let it spill over, touch us deep inside

So an eye, it won't be taken, for an eye

Now that a year's gone by

I hope we'll try to find some peace

Take from our history what is meant to be

Eventually the truth is plain to see

Another year's gone by

Oh my God please answer me, why are we fighting

If you're on everybody's side

If we can't stop this misery in your name and put our fear aside

We'll be gone before we know it, blink of an eye

Another year's gone by

I hope we'll try to find some peace

Take from our history what is meant to be

Eventually the truth is plain to see

Another year's gone by

Can I See You lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I thought the ghost was starting to fade

It hadn't haunted me in days

Just when the sun was coming through

Coincidence out of the blue

I see you

With a smile

You knock me knees

You don't mean to me

But you still got that hold on me

When I see you

It happens when I'm all alone

Sometimes your presence is so strong

I try to sleep

Turn out the lights

Say my prayers and close my eyes

And I see you

With a smile

You knock me to my knees

You don't mean to

But you've still got that hold on me

When I see you

Anytime of day

Anywhere I go

Any song on the radio

I hear your voice

I feel your touch

In the strangest places you show up

Can I see you

With a smile

You knock me to my knees

You don't mean to

But you've still got that hold on me, yeah

Can I see you

A Smile lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

They pulled the switch that sent me far

Into the rich and distant stars

Bounced me back into your car

Returning with a smile

Constantly in rotation

An astronaut on the radio station

Passing on that sweet sensation

If only for a while

A smile finally saved me, found me and repaid me

For all the time that I've put in

And now I'm smiling back again

Just smile for a while

We've just begun to smile

A canyon cracks a smile at me

As I pass at 80,000 feet

Revolving only to receive America , America

Please be free, be a part of me

We need unilateral harmony

Something that will help us be

Better than before

A smile finally saved me, found me and repaid me

For all the time that I've put in

And now I'm smiling back again

Just smile for a while

We've just begun to smile

As I wonder through

It's all right in front of you

Every moment matters in the end

Smile at what used to be

The glory and the agony

Smile at a memory

Smile at your enemies, yeah

A smile finally saved me, found me and repaid me

For all the time that I've put in

And now I'm smiling back again

Just smile for a while

We've just begun to smile

Smile for a while

Smile

One Love lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Sunshine, on the horizon

Over two young lovers, while it's going down

Somewhere, the same sun rising

On another two lovers, as the world goes `round

Same scene played over and over

Same sweet passion, same warm blood

Softly speaking the universal language

So many lovers, one love

[Chorus:]

One love might make the difference (One Love)

Might take the walls and tear them down

One light might keep on shining (One Love)

If we take one love and we spread it around

Old religions, new generations

Caught in a struggle about a righteous way

Can't see the forest for all the frustrations

So many lyin', so many dyin'

But only one love

[Chorus]

Too many stories, weave a common thread

Too many roads traveled, all reach the same end

Same scene play's over and over now

Same young passion, same red blood

Universal language goes unspoken

Too much hatred, to much hatred now

But only one love

[Chorus]

[Repeat]

Sunshine, on the horizon

Over two young lovers, while it's going down

Leaving lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I was a little lost

Rode home on my bicycle

The night was warm and it was June

Charleston gets so hot so soon

It reminded me of leaving

Walked into a crowded room

Looked around for a place to stand

Everyone I did not know, and knew

Reminded me of you

Reminded me of leaving, this evening

Reminded me of leaving,

Reminded me of you

Stood so near the ocean

Wearing only your birthday suits

We were tripping eight miles high

Shooting stars, your blue disguise

Reminded me of leaving, this evening

Reminded me of leaving, just breathing

Reminded me of leaving...

I was a little lost

Autumn Jones lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Autumn Jones

When you fell and cut your knee when you were six

You said it wasn't nothing that you couldn't fix

Life would be long

Autumn Jones

Do you remember when your Daddy said goodbye

How you blamed yourself as tears fell from your eye

'Cause he was gone

Autumn Jones

Yeah, I understand your soul feels like cryin'

You have every reason to there's no denying

But the last thing you should do is let them

Turn your heart to stone

Oh, please be strong

Autumn Jones

Remember sitting watching years just pass you by

Why weren't you feeling all those dreams you held inside

Life never lies

But I understand your soul feels like cryin'

You have every reason to there's no denying

But the last thing you should do is let them

Turn your heart to stone

Oh, please be strong

Autumn Jones

Now you're standing at the altar all alone

Feeling everything you ever had is gone

Ain't life a song

Well, I understand your soul feels like cryin'

You have every reason to there's no denying

But the last thing you should do is let them

Turn your heart to stone

Please be strong

'Cause I understand your soul feels like cryin'

Oh, you have every reason to there's no denying

But the last thing you should do is let them

Turn your heart to stone

Ain't life a song

Autumn Jones

Free To Everyone lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Look so pretty sitting there

Could you be the one

All it costs to find out is time

Story upon story upon what you call your life

Blaming everybody but yourself

Hey, love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You can share with everyone

Love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You know you can share with everyone

Little pretty standing there

Can you give me some time

I was thinking we might have some fun

Layer upon layer upon never thinking twice

I wanna be somebody not myself, no

'Cause love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You know you can share with everyone

Hey, love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You can share with everyone

Cannot have the rain without the clouds up in the sky

Don't put the cart before the horse, when you're looking for a ride

You put one foot in front of the other baby when you need to, you need to run

You better find what makes you happy before you fall for anyone

Fall for anyone, fall for anyone

Love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You can share with everyone

Hey, love is free to everyone

Once you find it in yourself

You know you can share with everyone

Share with everyone

Love is free to everyone....

Waltz Into Me lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Years of trying to keep myself free

Now I find that I'm down on my knees

I kept hiding the feeling I had

Locked away everyday, Lonesome and sad

When I'm with you girl, the fear in me leaves

To be in your world is all that I dream

When I walk away you waltz into me

Softly, Slowly

Time has shown me the error of my ways

I try to find you day after day

Our time has come now, our friends have all said

Waltz into me, talk to me

Our love has no end

When I'm with you girl, the fear in me leaves

To be in your world is all that I dream

When I walk away you waltz into me

Softly, Slowly

I've hidden as long as I can

[Bridge:]

I see it's all in my head

You're the best thing I've ever had

Won't you dance with me night after night

When I'm with you girl, the fear in me leaves

To be in your world is all that I dream

When I walk away you waltz with me

Softly, slowly

Then you hold me softly

And you love me slowly

You know that our love has no end

Deeper Side lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I've found a reason to dig deep down.

There's a part of you that I ain't found that's in your deeper side.

Instead of wondering what I should do,

I tried to learn a couple things about you from your deeper side.

Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)

Show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)

that I would give most anything to see.

There's a lot of things that I would know

if you would let me climb into your soul and see your deeper side.

Everybody always seems so pure,

then they show you what their heart stands for in their deeper side.

Show me your, yeah. (Show me your deeper side)

Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)

Show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)

I would give most anything to see.

You think the world has got your number now.

You cry about it but you know somehow it's your deeper side.

I heard you wishing you were someone else

but all that's stopping you from being yourself is your deeper side.

So, show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)

Please, show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)

Oh, show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)

I would give most anything, and, I would give most anything.

You would give most anything to see.

Show me your deeper side.

Little Brother lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

How you gonna say what you can and can't do,

sitting in the crib, parked in front of the tube.

You're mad at the world like she owe you,

What you think opportunity's gonna come looking for you?

Not a damn thing changed.

You're just another football waiting to be tossed in the game.

You're flossing again,

you talk a good game, but you're still trying hard to maintain.

Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water.

The world could be yours if you want her,

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Everyday you're out slinging that thing.

No worries or cares of what your mama may say.

Trying to get what you want in your life.

The cars, the clothes, the hos, the ice.

Not a damn thing changed.

You're still another football waiting to be tossed in the game.

You're flossing again,

you talk a good game,

but you're still struggling hard to maintain.

Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.

The world could be yours if you want her,

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Little brother, no, a ship can't sail without the water.

The world could be yours if you want her,

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Everything you want could be yours if you were just to try.

All the troubles that you feel will fade away like shooting stars across the sky.

All the dreams I hope you feel soon, someday, shall be fulfilled.

Time is moving rapidly.

Don't let it pass you by, yeah.

Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.

The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is yours)

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Little brother, no,

a ship (you know we gotta love one another now) can't sail without the water.

The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is ours)

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.

The world could be yours if you want her (the world is yours),

but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.

When you get it, keep winning.

Little brother, get it now, a ship can't sail without the water...

Innocence lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

What else can I do when the tears have all been wasted?

And the only voice you choose to hear

sings the songs of our hearts breaking.

Say your dreams, they all have changed.

Well, my smiles, they all have faded.

And the thoughts that used to seem so pure in my heart,

they now feel jaded.

Because I wanna feel like I did.

And I wanna feel innocence.

What else can it be except this pride I'm sick of drinking.

Storm clouds all have gone away.

Can we stop this thing from sinking?

Because I wanna feel like I did.

And I wanna feel innocence.

And I want you to know,

and to feel in your soul,

that someone has come and gone.

I'm stuck up here with you.

I never thought we'd get this high.

I used to be afraid of falling.

Now I'll spred my wings and I will fly.

I wanna feel like I did.

And I wanna feel innocence.

I wanna feel like I did.

Oh, and I wanna feel innocence, oh. I...

Space lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I see it inside your eyes,

feel it in your soul.

A part of you is moving on,

the other half is gone.

I don't know what you want from me,

no, you lock it all inside.

I try to give you everything,

but there's nothing else that I can hide.

We've been trying so long.

You've been pushing too hard.

You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.

You need a little space and I need mine.

When you and I all alone, it feels so damn crowded.

The house we share is not a home when you're inside it.

So, now, I go and pack my things, girl,

I must be moving on.

I couldn't stand to face you,

so I, I guess that's why I wrote this song.

You've been trying so long.

We've been pushing too hard.

You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.

You need a little space and I need mine.

Oh, oh, oh, we've been trying so long.

You've been pushing too hard.

You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.

You need a little space and I need mine.

I'll Come Runnin' lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

It's been such a long time

since I haven't seen your face.

There's a tear on your cheek

where your smile used to be 'cause I'm going away.

We had such a good time,

though we knew this day might come.

So when you hold me tonight, squeeze a little tighter

'cause in the morning, I'll be gone.

And, I tell you, baby, now, I might be long.

But, I'll come runnin'.

I'll come runnin' home.

I'll come runnin' home to you.

I'll come runnin' (I'll come runnin').

I'll come runnin' home (I'll come).

I'll come runnin' home to you.

It's already 5 AM.

We haven't got much sleep just yet.

Sun is rising.

I wish I could make time stand still.

I look in your eyes, now, love and I don't know what to say.

The words, the words.

And if you say you'll wait me for me, now, I know you'll try.

But, I'll come runnin'.

I'll come runnin' home.

I'll come runnin' home to you, you.

I will come runnin' home (I'll come runnin').

I'll never leave you alone, girl (I'll come).

I'll always come runnin' home to you. You.

I (I'll come runnin') (I'll come)

I will, I will, I will,

I will come home and I'll always come home right to you.

(I'll come runnin')

No matter what I did, no matter what I do. (I'll come)

I'll always. I'll always come runnin' home.

I'll always come runnin' home to you.

I'll come runnin'. I'll come. I'll come runnin'. I'll come.

Tears Fall Down lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Now I see the time we had before

is just a passing moment that we can't share anymore.

And I've learned that written words are not the same

as when you take the time to say it

and let the clouds release the rain.

And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friends.

Yesterday's just something I can't mend.

And I broke down for my lost brother and I've died for mama, too.

Now my tears fall down for you. For you.

And I say one thing each day before I lay me down.

I thank god for your sweet smile although you're not around.

And I can't overcome your memory in my mind.

It's a bridge I'll never cross until the end of time.

And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friend.

But, yesterday's just something I can't mend.

'Cause I've broke down for my lost father and I've cried for sister, too.

Now my tears fall down for you. For you. You.

The Rain Song lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I don't think about us much anymore.

Frankly, the topic has become a bore.

And you don't come up much in my conversations.

And I don't think about you on vacation.

Oh, but when it rains.

When it rains. When it rains.

That's when I remember. (I remember)

I remember you. (Oh, I remember you)

I remember you.

I don't think about you when I'm sleeping.

Oh, it doesn't even cross my dream-like mind. (Oh)

And I don't think I see your face through the curtain.

Hell, I don't even miss you half the time. (Half the time)

Oh, when it rains. When it rains. When it rains.

That's when I remember. (I remember)

Yeah, that's when I remember. (I remember)

I remember you. (Oh, I remember you)

I remember you.

Rain, rain, go away.

I'm doing fine as long as you stay locked up inside a cloud of grey.

Rain, rain. Rain, rain, rain. Rain, rain. Rain. Rain!

'Cause when it rains. Yeah, when it rains. When it rains.

That's when I remember. (I remember)

Yeah, that's when I remember. (I remember)

I remember you. (I remember)

I remember you. (I remember you)

That's when I remember. (I remember)

The only time I remember. (I remember)

I remember you. (Oh, I remember you) I remember you.

Show Me Your Heart lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

You always ask for flowers and candy, baby,

never knowing I was your chocolate rose.

You always tell me that you like what I'm wearing,

but you think I look better here without any clothes.

Get out of my head. Show me your heart.

You play a game of attack and surrender.

Always leaving me halfway there.

Well I've got something that you should remember.

Until you draw blood, baby, nobody cares.

Get out of my head. Show me your heart.

Sometimes I'd swear you were from Venus, now, oh.

If I didn't already know your type.

You'd rather tell me you're an angel, darling,

then show me by floating gracefully by.

Get out of my head. Show me your heart.

Get out of my head, oh. And, show me your heart.

Get out, get out, get out of my head.

Yeah, and show me your heart.

Show me your, oh.

Get out of my head. And, show me your heart.

When She's Gone lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

She has a light and a faith that won't die.

She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive.

She has a pretty young daughter back home

who'll soon start to cry when she's gone.

When she's gone. When she's gone. When she's gone.

Now she spends her days with a mission to live.

She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive.

And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when she's gone.

When she's gone. She's gone. When she's gone.

She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps.

(Smiles when she sleeps)

And dreams of the days when we'll all finally meet.

She often says that she lives in a world we'll never know.

We hope we never know.

We sit together and talk about our faith.

We play a game where we'll sing all our troubles away.

Though she's glad to be with me,

she knows darm well that her next life awaits when she's gone.

Oh, when she's gone.

When she's gone.

When she's gone, she's gone. She's gone.

She's gone away. She's gone away.

She's gone. She's gone. When she's gone.

Oh, no. (When she's gone)

Oh, she's gone.

I know she's gone. (When she's gone)

Little Darlin' lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Hello, little darlin'.

Can't see why you're cryin'.

Don't even know why you came by so soon.

And I know that you love me.

Remember that you left me.

Why were you so afraid of the truth?

Now, no, no.

Hello, how you doing?

Hope I did not ruin any plans you had to pull me through.

So sit down at my table.

We'll talk about and label all the things you claim to be untrue.

Now, no, no.

Now, no, no. (Ah...)

I see you driving out of town.

I just hope some how (Ah...) you'll be alright again. (Ah...)

I see you driving out of town.

I just hope some how (Ah...)we'll be alright again.

Now, I told you right from the start

that I don't want to play the part of being the blame for a brokenhearted fool.

And, now that I don't see you much,

I wish that we had stayed in touch.

I don't know what I would say or what you think I would do.

Now, no, no. Now, no, no. Now, no. Now, no, no. Now, no, no. (Ah...)

I see you driving out of town.

I just hope some how (Ah...) you'll be alright again.

I see you driving out of town.

I just hope some how we'll be alright again.

Woody lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Can you see me there when I'm standing alone?

How did you know I needed you here?

Can you feel the screams from the depth of my soul?

Is that what makes you appear?

See, I often wonder, in the presence of this all,

what we did to become this way.

And, I'll never forget when you whispered to me.

You said, don't worry it'll be ok.

Sometimes the sun calls our names.

And, sometimes we listen.

Sometimes the devil's there, but we just can't go with him.

Can you hear me now when I'm standing this close?

Can I tell you one of my fears?

See, I hope you live to sing when I die,

'cause if you're gone, I don't think I want to be here no more.

'Cause sometimes the sun calls our names.

And, sometimes we listen.

And, sometimes the devil's there,

but we just can't go with him.

Sometimes the sun calls our names, oh, no.

Sometimes we listen.

Sometimes the devil's there,

but we just can't go with him.

Go And Tell Him (Soup Song) lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I don't care about your man's reputation.

I don't care what you say about him.

All I know is you're some kind of woman,

and, it won't be tonight,

but, girl, you're gonna give in.

Go and give him his walking papers.

Tell him things that he never knew.

Don't you hear what your new man's saying, girl?

Don't you know what you've got to do now?

Go and tell him you can't see him again.

You can't say that you don't think about me late at night, lying in your bed.

Stirring the soup

and you start to think about the times that we had

and the times that I said now.

Go and tell him you can't see him again.

I don't care about your man's reputation.

I don't care what your man's gonna do.

You can tell that you're gonna come running, baby.

I can tell that you're gonna come soon.

Go and tell him you can't see him again.

Go and tell him, nah, you can't see him again. (You can't see him right now)

Go and tell him you can't see him again.

Go and tell him that you are gone.

I said, go and tell him that you are gone.

Go, you can tell.

Go and tell him girl.

Let him know you're coming home with me tonight.

Oh, oh, oh.

Alright lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

She's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.

Yes, she's always beside me.

She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.

I'm so confused.

She's not amused.

'Cause I do way too much thinking.

It's not supposed to be this hard.

So, she calls me out and there's no doubt that I do way too much drinking.

I guess it's got me through this far.

When my life gets crazy, she can still amaze me.

Sometimes I think, hell, what's the use of going on?

But, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.

Yes, she's always beside me.

She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.

I heard the news.

I just refuse to believe that we were sinking.

Still can't believe they went that far.

So, I start to shout, but I'm all cried out and still doing way too much thinking.

Can't seem to scrape away those scars. no.

And, if my life gets crazy, she can still amaze me.

Sometimes I think, hell, what's the use of going on?

But, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.

Yes, she's always beside me.

She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright. Alright.

I think I can finally see what she's been telling me.

It's all inside my head.

I guess I knew it all along.

And, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.

Yes, she's always beside me.

She keeps reminding me that it's all in me.

But, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.

Yes, she's always beside me.

She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.

Scattered, Smothered & Covered (2000)

A Fine Line lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

There's a curve in the highway just south of town

Where a man has pulled over to figure life out

With only his conscience and the lonesome sound

Of diesels windin' up the grade

He's got a wife and two kids, they love him so

And a woman down in Georgia, she startin' to show

He's damned if he leaves and he' sure damned if he don't

And he wonders how life got this way

('Cause its) A fine line in between right and wrong

(Yeah) He's been crossing over that border way too long

He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start

Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart

Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing

Like the pull of a lover or a child in a swing

He gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring

They're both gonna have his babies now

So how do you confess what words won't explain

He never intended to cause this much pain

Now he feels like a farmer who went prayin' for rain

And got that he bargained from the clouds

(And its) [REPEAT CHORUS]

He'll turn his care around tonight

Go home and try to face the truth

Everyone involed's getting" hurt

And there aint nothin' he can do

He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start

Now there ain't no escape, now there ain't no escape

From

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart

Yeah they're all gonna wind up with a broken heart

Nobody's getting' out without a broken heart

I Go Blind lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Every time I look at you, I go blind.

In the mornin' I get up, and I try to

Feel alive, but I can't.

Every time I look at you, I go blind.

I don't know what it is.

Something in me just won't give me a chance.

I think it's that I feel more confused

By the deal love has shown me.

Little child, did you know that there's a light,

And it's gonna shine right through your eyes.

What do you think that life is like?

Every time I look at you, I go blind.

I go blind

Well some where over there there's a purpose,

There's a care for free

In me there's no body, no one plan,

No one stand to be free.

I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss

And it's no big deal. No big deal.

Hold me, hold me 'cause I want to get higher and higher,

Higher than life.

Almost Home lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Walking on the water in a van

Tryin to think of everything I can

But it's getting very late,

And these tapes don't sound too good

And my body just don't feel

The way I wish it would.

I was driving when I heard you call my name.

It was not like before not quite the same

It's too late to be much good and I might as well confess

That I have not got the nerve to borrow cigarettes.

When I'm almost with you music tries to play,

When I'm almost home I almost hear you say,

It would be all right if we could run away.

Deciding things for all my life

No one ever tells you when or why

But my heart can't seem to tell me

What would satisfy my mind

So I jump into the van one more time

Hey, Hey What Can I Do lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Wanna tell you 'bout the girl I love

My she looks so fine

She's the only one that I been dreamin' of

Maybe someday she will be all mine

I wanna tell her that I love her so

I thrill with her every touch

I need to tell her she's the only one I really love

[Chorus]

I got a woman, wanna ball all day

I got a woman; she won't be true, no

I got a woman, stay drunk all the time

I said I got a little woman and she won't be true

Sunday morning when we go down to church

See the menfolk standin' in line

I said they come to pray to the Lord

With my little girl, looks so fine

In the evening when the sun is sinkin ' low

Everybody's with the one they love

I walk the town

Keep a-searchin' all around:

Lookin' for my street corner girl

[Chorus]

In the bars, with the men who play guitars

Singin', Drinkin' and rememberin' the times

My little lover does a midnight shift

She followed around all the time

I guess there's just one thing a -left for me to do

Gonna pack my bags and move on my way

Cause I got a worried mind

Sharin' what I thought was mine

Gonna leave her where the guitars play

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no

I got a woman, wanna ball all day

I got a woman, stay drunk all the time

I got a little woman and she won't be true

(Hey, hey what can I do)

I said she won't be true

(Hey, hey what can I say)

Hey, hey, what can I do

I got a woman she won't be true

Lord, hear what I say

I got a woman, wanna ball all day.

Renaissance Eyes lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Are you alone, Renaissance Eyes

I won't tell my family stolen from, Renaissance Eyes

Is theat your car, Renaissance Eyes, yeah

Have you ever taken dancing lessons, Renaissance Eyes

[Chorus:]

Drench you in a passion

And dress you with a passion

Though the vision haunts you

I'm the one who wants you to love me with those eyes

Love me with those eyes:

Oh, is that you car, Renaissance Eyes

I once had a car but it was stolen, Renaissance Eyes

Tell me you name, Renaissance Eyes

Do you ever think about the future, Renaissance Eyes

[CHORUS]

Oh spend my days with her copies I've collected

All my nights, all my nights with a sliver screen

Nothing wrong with the way that I respect her

She's more than an, more than an ordinary queen

[CHORUS]

When the days are short

And the nights are long

And I wait for you to love me with those eyes

Love me with those eyes, eyes, eyes

Love me with those eyes, eyes

Love me with those eyes

Before The Heartache Rolls In lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

There's a chill in your kissin'

And a thrill I've been missin' too long

This love is deceivin', babe, I'm believin'

This thing's going' wrong

'Cause your eyes betray your heart and soul

and your love for me is growin' old

And I think maybe I'd better pack my bags and

[CHORUS:]

Roll like the wind, better roll 'till the highway ends

Gonna roll on outta her

Before the heartache rolls in

There's a lonesome sound that keeps rollin'

'Round inside of me

Those wheel on the highway are whinin' on by

Baby I gotta leave

If I don't get out now while my minds in control

Then I'll never be able to ever let go

And I think maybe I better head outta here and

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Araby lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

It is worth the admission

"Oh my love" fogs up the glass

I look on, in a window

"Oh my love" fogs up the glass.

On rainy days I wonder what's behind the veil

And I feel your breath upon my mouth,

And I press my heart into your hand,

It's my gift from Araby.

We can move and be trusted,

But what is it that you want?

It is not what they think,

Yeah what is it that you want?

They look down on me and they smile forever,

But I know that love will kill that pride

And I press my heart into your hand

It's my gift from Araby.

Listen to what you're saying,

You know nothing of my love,

And if it all comes down to what you say

You know nothing of my love.

And looking up into the dark I find it there,

And I feel my breath upon my mouth,

And I press my heart into your hand

It's my gift from Araby.

I'm Over You lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

The stars are shining brighter than the night that I remember

My thoughts are like a river

Reflecting in all directions

I'm gonna phone her, but not today

I'm gonna write her, but not today

Today I'm gonna be

Driving down Highway 441 with the windows down

A beer in one hand, the radio blasting

My old needs I won't recognize

I'm Over You

Hold on to the evening, hold on to the morn

All night long, sunshine hiding underneath and

I'm gonna phone her, but not today

I'm gonna write her, but not today

Today I'm gonna be

Driving down Highway 441 with the windows down

A beer in one hand, the radio blasting

My old needs I won't recognize

I'm Over You

Miles of country road rise, rise away

The cars are by the river

Clouds are in the coffee shops around here

[CHORUS]

Gravity Of The Situation lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

We blew past the army motorcade

and it's abnormal load haulage

The gravity of the situation

came on us like a bit of new knowledge

The bubbliest bubble bath

broke down on the bank

The gravity of the situation

is why our old thought bubbles sank

humble and gracious

The gravity of the situation

a fat hungry English crow

picking at a badger carcass

The gravity of the situation

is hard to focus and harness

We met Bill Lowery

at the Queen's Hall

The gravity of the situation

became apparent to us all

I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

'Cause falling in love just makes me blue.

Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see,

I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me.

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere

And I wonder should I offer you a chair?

Well if you sit down with this old clown,

Take that frown and break it, before the evening's gone away,

I think that we could make it,

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man.

These old tomcat feelings you don't understand,

Well I turn around to look at you; you light a cigarette,

I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met.

And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,

And it being late, You'd like some some company.

Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me,

The guy you're with has up and split the chair next to you's free.

And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out.

Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.

Well I turn around to look at you; you're nowhere to be found,

I search the place for your lost face,

Guess I'll have another round.

And I think that I just fell in love with you.

Dream Baby lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Sweet dream baby

How long must I dream

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams the whole day through

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams nighttime too

I love you and I'm dreaming of you but that won't do

Dream baby, make me stop my dreamin', you can make my dreams come true

Driver 8 lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

(originally by R.E.M.)

The walls are built up, stone by stone;

the fields divided one by one.

And the train conductor says,

"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break

we've been on this shift too long"

And the train conductor says,

"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break

We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.

The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.

Bells are ringing through the town again,

Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

And the train conductor says

"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break

We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

Way to shield the hated heat.

Way to put myself to sleep.

Way to shield the hated heat.

Way to put myself, my children to sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.

She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.

Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.

Field to weed is lookin' thin

And the train conductor says

"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break

We've been on this shift too long."

And the train conductor says,

"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break.

We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

Let Me Be Your Man lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I've been waiting for you

I wish you could too

Had you too long to lay back now

First time you caught my eye

I knew I want to spend my life

Making you feel like you should

[CHORUS:]

I'm not trying to make you do

Nothing you don't want to

But I said I love you

My love depends on you

It grow, it flows, it goes by you

Won't you let me be your man

So if you'd only tell me (it you'd only tell me)

Tell me that you love me (tell me that you love me)

I'll be the luckiest man alive

I just keep on waiting, anticipating

'Til the day you say you're mine

[CHORUS]

Won't you let me be your man

Let me be your man

Won't you let me be your man

Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Good times for a change.

See the look I've had could make a good man turn bad.

So please please please, let me, let me, let me:

Let me get what I want this time.

Haven't had a dream in a long time.

See the life I've had could make a good man bad.

So for one in my life let me get what I want.

Lord knows it would be the first time.

Use Me lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

My friends feel it's their appointed duty

They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me

But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff

I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used

Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up

Until you use me up

My brother sits me right down and he talked to me

He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me

And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through

I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes

You just keep on using me until you use me up

Until you use me up

Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me

You get in a crowd of high-class people and then you act real rude to me

But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough

I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used

Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up

Until you use me up

Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do

It ain't too bad the way you're using me

Causes I sure am using you to do the things you do

Ah ha to do the things you do

I Will Wait lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Aboard his ship he stops to stare

Needs to smell her, touch her hair

Say's "I can't be without her"

Tonight he's going to be without her

"It's late now", she say's

Makes her mind up goes to bed

Another night alone without him

Another night alone in Charleston

When I wake to find the solace of

All that we've become

I can't wait to make the promises

I've been leery of

I'll be there waiting for you

In the morning when times have changed

I'll be there through the lies and all

Standing like your soldiers

You hold your secrets

Through the days when I need to be alone

I will wait for you

Through the lies and all

She was left behind so they could stay

God to feel him this she prays

It would make her feel so much better

I want to feel so much better

Wishing lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

At least you tried

That's more than anyone around you

And if you lied

Would it fade out of your memory

Wishing it all away from you

Wishing is all you'll ever do

Wish I was here with you

Then I'd be fine

And if you died

Would they gather all around you

And if you cried

Would it wash away your misery

It's worse at night

Spirits flying all around you

Without the light

They can take away your sanity

[CHORUS]

Las Vegas Nights lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Las Vegas nights

Have been calling

But I wait to see her float down stairs

There she stands with her eyes full and yearning

I look

And I know gotta be there

Is there another chance

To bring her closer

Make her feel I know we could be happy again

Is there another chance

To bring her flowers

So she will only whisper my name

A chance to make things right for her

And make my lies seem true

I'm begging Do

Don't go down to the station

Somehow we won't live that long

Don't go now, desert flower

Cause you just won't bloom

And your memories made need more room

See that mirror there

Will she look inside

To see the one I fear standing alone

And on my phonograph

Will she put them in

The songs that only remind her of me

A chance to make things right for her

And make my life seem true

I'm begging Do

[CHORUS]

I step outside The Joint

To clouds of guilt and fear

And there are shades of red dancing in view

Las Vegas nights

Make me wonder

How much longer I will be a fool

A chance to make things right for her

Make my lies seem true

I'm begging Do

[CHORUS]

Only Lonely lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Hello again

Your words they make me smile

As I drift away

In my little room upstairs

Oh I spend my nights

Imagining your face your touch

Then I realize

How I don't even know your name

If we could share our time

Would I disappoint your fantasies

I believe that you could be the one I'm needing

'cause I'm

only lonely on the inside

didn't mean to take away your dreams

only lonely on the inside

when you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts

I could start to give apologies

For all the stupid things That I will say and I will do

If we should ever cross the same place at the same time

Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me

If we could share our life

Would I disappoint your memories

I believe that I could be the one your needing

And I'm

[CHORUS]

If I could give back your hopes your joys your treasures

Don't you think that I would change my world

But there's so many things trying to pull us together

Even though we're far apart I can still watch you walk away

Only lonely on the inside

Didn't mean to take away your dreams

Only lonely on the inside

When you close your eyes do you see me

(in your deepest thoughts do you see me)

(when you close your eyes, in your deepest thoughts do you see me)

Answer Man lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

You must retreat now

I just can't talk anymore

Your words make me empty inside

There's nothing left of you

Time seems to change

Thoughts I have for you

Now I'm so alive

But you seem to be

Drowning every minute

I say that's life

You say it's alright

I can't be your answer and

I don't want to follow you

Into your cloud

I am tired of being the one

To live and learn from your mistakes

I'm just so sick of my mind

It sees us like a light

Shining bright

In the middle

Don't you see us smiling now

You say that's life

I say it's alright

[CHORUS]

Please open your eyes

See where you sleep tonight

I hope you never call it home

But your bound to live bound to die in it

You say that's life

I say I'll still be here

[CHORUS]

Michelle Post lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

I met a girl just the other day

Stop to talk she had a lot to say

She told me all about her politics

Then she told me something that made me sick

Michele Post knows all about it

But she don't want just to talk about it

She got everything that she believes in

She's got something and she wants let me in

Bluesy Revolution lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

It's almost like

We came back wet

Back from the dead

And I'm thinking of you

We traveled long

We traveled hard

To long to bear

Hard just to come through

And when I stop

I see you there

You make me feel

What more must I do

My revolution is reigning peace

And there is nothing I can see

Is there a reason we should seek

Please let me see

That I can bleed

And I can answer

To all that is true

I stumbled long

And I fell hard

We loved so strong

For all that we knew

Please hear me now

And hold your anger somehow

But why must it be me

My revolution is reigning peace

And there is nothing that I can see

Is there a reason we should seek

When the end is all I see

And when I wake

I sing your song

Somewhere you stir

Cause your wanting me too

Don't listen to

The others answers

Our love is not new

Home Again lyrics - Hootie & The Blowfish

Your letter came yesterday Your, flying home for Christmas Could you stop to see me smile I sat down to remember All the pain we shared But I drifted to times not so hard Oh I see you in the corner of Life's grand ballroom And I tremble to see you again Let's all go home again Find where we have been Time is never understood I see you holding me Please don't let me be Tonight just may be our last The bell rings to tell me You're here now And I wonder if your eyes glow and sparkle in the night And I can't believe you look this way Like a doll in satin On a birthday afternoon Hold me tightly Like never before You've come to say your alive [CHORUS] The sun arrives You wake and peek outside Touch my hand and walk right away I hear you close the door I don't feel joy anymore And my heart is racing to who knows where And I say it's our last night And clutch my soul so tight But I'll let go to have you again [CHORUS]
