The Larkins The Larkins Lyrics
1.Lay Your Memory Down

It's been long enough
I've heard that enough,
I've walked the floor
From door to door
My mind's made up.
Today's the day
I'm gonna put to rest,
This lingering pain
Here in my chest.

{Chorus}
I'm gonna lay your memory down
Lay your memory down
I'm gonna cover it up
in the cold, cold ground
Lay your memory down.

I guess you think
I'm weaker than strong,
And all I can do
Is cry over you,
Now just hold on.
I'm not afraid
To say goodbye,
Burry the past
And let it lie.

(Chorus)

Lay your memory down.

Well it's high time
I set you free,
Lay low
And let you rest in peace.

(Chorus)

I'm gonna cover it up
In the cold, cold ground
Lay your memory down

Lay your memory down
Lay your memory down.


2.Kiss And Tell

Hand in hand
Side by side
Day by day
Night after night
I've had one thing on my mind
I've kept you in the dark
It's time for a heart to heart
This secret's eating my alive

{Chorus}
I wanna kiss and tell you
How much I love you
And I think the whole world of you
I never wanna be over being under your spell
This feeling keeps getting stronger
I can't hold it inside any longer
Everybody's gonna know how hard I fell
I'm ready to kiss and tell

My pulse is pounding
My head is reeling
I can feel my nail polish peeling
There's a fire from my toes to my fingertips
Oh I could tell you with X's and O's
But the paper's just a little too cold
So pucker up baby and read my lips

(Chorus 3x)

Well I'm ready to kiss and tell


3.Gone

She could've made it easier
More easier for you
The thoughtful thing to
Would've been to tell you more than
Not a thing before she
Just backed out on the deal.
It didn't have to go this way
She could've hung around
To wind the hold thing down
Maybe even helped you through it
Held your hand until you knew
It was over for real, but

{Chorus}
She had to get gone
By the path of least resistance
Gone, it was time to get some distance
Move on, and it doesn't make a difference
Right or wrong she's gone
Right or wrong she's gone.

I hear you and I understand
You're cleaning up you act
Get your mind around this fact
Yesterday you were her whole life
Today you're just her old life
She's never coming back.

(Chorus)

You're feeling like the victim here
Well if that's what you believe
I'll give you room to breathe
You said that it's the worst time
In fact it's just the first time
You weren't the one to leave.

And now she's gone
By the path of least resistance
Gone, it was time to get some distance
Move on, and it doesn't make a difference
Right or wrong she's gone
By the path of least resistance
Gone, it was time to get some distance
Move on, and it doesn't make a difference
Right or wrong she's gone
Right or wrong she's gone.


4.Jesus, Daddy And You

In the back of my mind
There's a sweet memory
Of an old front porch swing
And daddy singing to me
I can still feel the touch of
His calused hands
In my eyes he was
The one perfect man.

The first top three men
I gave my heart to
Jesus, daddy and you.

Come Sunday morning
I knew where I'd be
Between momma and daddy
Pew number three
Where I put my life in
To them scarred hands
The day that I fell for
One more perfect man.

The men I have loved
Have been mighty few
Jesus, daddy and you.

There are three kinds of love
That eveyone needs
I knew that something
Was missing for me.

Then you came along and
Completed my life
I saw Jesus and daddy and your loving eyes
I looked up when you put
That ring on my hand
And I thank my God
For one more perfect man.

Three men in my life
Who's love has been true
Jesus, daddy and you.

Three men in my life
I gave my heart to
Jesus, daddy and you.


5.Go

Sweaty hands, quick sand
Know I should but I'm scared I can't
It's a big move, everything to lose
What if it's nothing
Like the way I planned.
What if, what if I fell
What if chasing my dream's
Just chasing my tail
Do I listen to the voice
Telling my to stay
Or listen to the voice
That's screaming out...

{Chorus}
Go, just go
Just go with your heart
Go with the flow
There's only one way
You're ever gonna know...go

This town, safe and sound
Already know my way around
Got a few good friends
A few good men
That'll buy me flowers
Take me out
What if, what if I stay
Do I really wanna spend
The rest of my days
On a dead end street
In a dead end job
I could live like that
But my dreams won't stop

(Chorus)

Just forget it
Everybody said it
I know I'd regret it
If I didn't

(Chorus)

Go...just go


6.Head Over Heels

Always thought my feet
Were firmly planted
Steady as a rock
Made out of granite
I could always count on me
To keep it together.

You waltzed in and
Messed with my way of thinking
The way I've been
You might think that I've been drinking
Stumbling, laughing crazy as a fool.

{Chorus}
Ran up the door and closed the stairs
Said my pajamas put on my prayers
Brushed my face and washed my teeth
What's become of me?
I'm dazed and confused
But I like how it feels
Guess love's got me
Head over heels.

Feels okay in this
Mixed up life I'm living
I'll just take the fate
That I was giving
How much longer is this dream?
I hope it's forever.
Where've you been
No need for hesitation
Come on in
Don't keep my heart a waiting
Take my hand let's dancin into the night

(Chorus 2x)

I'm dazed and confused,
But I like how it feels
Guess love's got me
Head over heels

Head over heels.


7.I Still Believed You Loved Me

You said it's over
I said it isn't
You told me that your heart
Wasn't really in it
Even when you
Said yuo didn't
I still believed you loved me

I didn't stop you
I didn't even try
As you turned away
And walked out of my life
Even as I watched you
Through the tears in my eyes
I still believed you loved me

{Chorus}
Looking back
I guess I really had no reason
It was just a feeling
I was feeling deep inside
And through it all
Still somehow I kept believing
You would walk back in my life
You would walk back in my life.

(Chorus)

Thought it was meant to be
But maybe it isn't
Maybe it's true, you're heart was
Never really in it
I guess I'll never know
Maybe you didn't
But I still believed you loved me
I still believed you loved me
I know you loved me.


8.One Without The Other

Eggs and bacon
Kinda go together
Just like sandy beaches
And sunny weather, like
Popcorn and movies do
Yellow and navy blue
Elephants and the zoo
Baby like me and you

{Chorus}
One without the other's
Like a ship without a rutter
Playing golf without a putter
Eating biscuits without butter baby
You and I are fate
So hard to separate
I'm starting to discover
Can't have one without the other.

Every pilot needs a
Traffic controler
Just like every highway's
Gotta have a shoulder
It's more than neccessity
The way it has to be
Like love and destiny
Baby like you and me

(Chorus)

You and I are fate
So hard to separate
I'm starting to discover
Can't have one

(Chorus)

Can't have one without the other


9.Above It All

Is the air up there in
'I don't care land'
Do you feel ten feet tall
I'm down here on the ground
With my heartache in my hands
It must be nice to be above it all
Sometimes I wish I was above it all.

These emotions that
I'm wearing on my sleeve
Are sewn too tightly to fall off
I know some people
They've got skin as thick as theives
Sometimes i wish I was above it all
Lord I wish I was above it all

{Chorus}
Cus when you're up there
Flying high in the wind
You don't have to cry the way I do
Then again
You don't get to love
The way that I love you

(Chorus}

In the end we're all
Just who we're meant to be
Some get to rise
Some have to fall
Still I'm tired of making
Conversation from my knees
With the one up there above it all
Lord I wish I was above it all
Someday I'll be above it all.


10.Steady As The Rain

Rain drops tumble to the ground
Making puddles all around
Drops of rain, that look like tears
Fall on my window pane.
Rain drops seem to harmonize
With tear drops falling from my eyes
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain.

{Chorus}
Steady as the rain may fall
Tears that just won't dry at all
Tears, that cannot wash away the pain
Sometimes without knowing it
I touch my face and find it wet
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain

I can't face the fact that I
Am not important in your life
Once you lived for only me
And then your feelings changed
There's just no getting over you
I've tried so hard but it's no use
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain.

Rain drops just keep falling down
Beating out their rhythmic sounds
Dancing as they play the sweet refrain
Memories of you crowd my mind
Crowd my eyes and I start crying
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain

As steady as the rain.
