The Nadas Almanac Lyrics
1.Bitter Love

It's cold and you seem to know
When I'll fall because I'm easily broken
Although its time to go
You move nice and slow
With words left unspoken
So rise and join the enemy

Chorus
Our love's a bitter war
My hearts been hurt before
Please don't ignore
Our love
Our love

Don't twist on my wrist
Just to get kissed
This is easily broken
With no risk
I'm trying to resist
Just enlist, its silently spoken
So rise and join the enemy

Chorus

It hurts when you shake your skirt
And you desert me when I'm broken
you turned us to dirt
You're a dangerous flirt
Words are not spoken
So rise and join the enemy

Chorus x2

Our love
Our love (repeat to end)


2.Long Goodbye

Chorus
Its been a long goodbye
Its alright, its alright
So stay with me tonight
Alright, alright

Celebrate the end for what it creates
Heaven help me then
To find my faith in you
Many times I've kissed
And cried for this
The good book exists
Ends with a twist for you, for you

Chorus

We're just tramps and thieves
Stealing from ourselves
Begging out of greed
Flying off the shelves to you

Gypsies from the start
We knew it all along
But you can have my heart
Its going for a song to you, to you

Chorus

Stay with me tonight
Its alright, its alright
Long goodbye
Its alright, alright

Celebrate the end
For what it creates
Heaven help me then
To find my faith in you


3.Wrecking Ball

If I could take away the things that left a mark
If I could somehow bring the light back from the dark

Chorus
All I really wants to be excited
All I really needs to be turned on
If we would stand collided with this human wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
. wrecking ball

If I could take away the things that bring you pain
If I could make the sun shine through the pouring rain

Chorus

So go ahead and try to knock us down
Go ahead and try to run us out of town
If we stand together we'll stand our ground

Chorus

Wrecking ball
You are my wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
You're my wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
You are my wrecking ball
My wrecking ball
My wrecking ball


4.Call Me

Call me
You are not alone
Call me insecure
For sitting by the phone
Call me optimistic
For waiting here at home
For you to call me
So I am not alone
Anticipate
Something great

Chorus
So come over here
And take me away
Be my souvenir
Of a wonderful day
Reconsider me
Let's tempt fate
Come over here
And take me away

Call me
I remember you
Call me out for leaving
This ballpoint tattoo
Call me pitiful
For reminding you
To call me
So you'll remember too
Anticipate
Something great

Chorus x2

Come over here and take me away
Come over here and take me away

Call me
You are not alone
Call me optimistic
I'll be sitting by the phone


5.Last To Know

Why do I let you get to me
Say two different things but we don't disagree
Why do I let you under my skin
Its like a game that you're fighting to win

Chorus
Tell me what you're thinking
I'm always the last to know
Ease my sinking feeling
I'm always the last to know
The last to know

Why do I let you get in my way
With things that you do and things you don't say
Why do I let you into my head
I start to see monsters under the bed

Chorus

I want to know
I wanna know

Why would I ever let you go
Don't let me be the last to know

Chorus


6.Heart That Sound

When everything's coming down
Around your head
Maybe its time to get going
When just rolling over
Seems better instead
Maybe its time to get going
I can't tell where I stumbled and fell

When everything that you do starts to seems small
Maybe its time to get going
Try to sit quiet and say nothing at all
Maybe its time to get going
And I can't say where it went away

Chorus
When you hear that sound
It feels like flying
So don't look down
Keep on trying
Just keep on trying

When everything you reach for slips through your hands
Maybe its time to get going
When the signs are there but you don't understand
Maybe its time to get going
I can't recall where we started it all

Chorus x2


7.Dodged A Bullet

I'm gonna find out what you've been hiding
And if it turns out that you were lying
I'll light a fire and use your pictures to fuel it
I'll toss you so fast
I'll dodge a bullet but you'll break my heart

Chorus
I dodged a bullet
You broke my heart
I let your bullet
Rip it up, tear it apart

You put on a good face inside this bad place
I should've known by your terrible rock taste
And all of the red flags my friends would not say
They saw you roll dice and gamble me away
You broke my heart

Chorus

You're gonna tear me apart

You can't keep a promise
Or drop your disguise
Not even twelve steps could ever apologize
I threw a party on the day of our wedding
I dodged a bullet and I'm done pretending
You can break my heart

Chorus

I dodged a bullet
And threw you away
I'm getting over it
Little more each day
A little more each day


8.Crystal Clear

Things are about to change
Every way again
Got me feeling strange
Every way under my skin

Chorus
I'm not gonna let it break down
I'm not gonna let it fall apart
They way it did again
I'm not gonna let you go down
I know what I'm doing here
Its crystal clear

Please let me explain
Everything to you
Take away all the pain
Of everything we do

Chorus

Open your eyes
See what I can see
To your surprise
It happened to me
Open your mind
I'll whisper in your ear
And you'll find
It will be crystal clear
It will be crystal clear
It will be crystal clear
It will be crystal

This is about to change everything


9.All I Want Is You

When you're around
I want to say
I got the feeling that this feeling isn't ever gonna go away
Its ok, I will see this through
Everything that you will want is everything that I ever do

Chorus
I don't need a new love every day
I heart .
I need you to hear me when I say
All I want is you
All I want is you

I'm undersold, little rusty too
But I'll protect you from the rest if you protect me form the
things you do
I've been told we will all get through
Anything that you could want is anything that I can get for you

Chorus

When you're around I want to say
I got the feeling that this feeling isn't ever gonna go away

Chorus

All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you


10.Parachute

Make your heart a place to desire and not to dwell
You'll do well
Let go of what you know and move on to something else
For yourself
I hope that you find your proof
I hope your parachute comes through
And you don't fall

Chorus
Out of sky
Onto ground
Millions of pieces are scattered around
I can't fly, and you won't drown
And millions of pieces scattered

out of the ledge the edge will not make things right
Not this time
Its worth the climb every time when you look below
And just let go
I hope that you find your proof
I hope that your parachute comes through
And you don't fall

Chorus

I hope that you'll find your proof
I hope that your parachute comes through
And you don't fall

Chorus x2


11.Drink It 'Til It's Gone

Well I know its getting late
But I need something to set me straight
It will teach me to clean my plate
And wash it away
And its not all fun and games
Inside the pleasure hides the pain
Sometimes it shines sometimes it rains
Wash it away
Wash it away

Chorus
Raise your glass and drink it til its gone
Raise your glass and drink it til its gone

Is it the flavor or the taste
Is it the . or the chase
Sometimes it all seems like such a waste
Wash it away
Sometimes it doesn't look so good
And I don't face it like I should
But its getting better knock on wood
Wash it away
Wash it away

Chorus

They're gonna bury me with my boots on
I'm gonna take it like a man
With every sunset comes a new dawn
I'm gonna get it while I can

So you run and dive right in
Let the water touch your skin
A higher power forgive your sin
Wash it away
Wash it away

Chorus x3


12.New Year's Eve

Everybody's waiting
The lights are turned down low
Counting down from ten now here we go
The snow is falling
Moved around by wind
Erasing all the tracks from where you've been

Chorus
Open up your eyes
On a brand new scene
Everybody tries a little more on New Year's Eve

Everyone can wake up
To a brand new day
The sky will come alive turning blue from grey
Put the wheels in motion
Move beyond your fear
And firmly close the door on a very hard year

Chorus

You take your time to find me
The second try is all I need
Your I'm in between
So come with me on New Year's Eve

Everybody's waiting
The lights are turned down low
Counting down from ten now here we go

Chorus

La la la la la la la
la la la la (repeat to end)
