Band of Horses-No One's Ever Gonna Love You

It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken a part
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

And anything to make you smile
It is my better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone,
They could have warned you
When things started spitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard

Anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone,
They should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now,
If things start splitting at the seams and now
It's tumbling down
Hard

Band of Horses-Part One (Savannah)

The bottom the earth I have to fall
But you really caught me
You really caught me, dear
At the bottom where I'd fallen

And slowly dear ask that you dance with me
Here with the shades down
Lights off

When I didn't know you
and everything I do
Done badly

Now I'll love you always
Even when I say
You distract me

And sit out tonight in some strange place
If we have no friends here
Well I had a few to begin with

To wake next to you in the morning
and good morning to you
How do you do?
Hey, good morning to you
More covers for you
Sleep soundly dear cause I have to go

And I'll love you always
When we leave this place
and drive back to Carolina
and down to Savanna and stay
You bulldoze me out of your mind
I pick up where we last left off

Your smile surrounds me with a million butterflies
My face flushes

May God send you love in the stars
and grace in the rain clouds

May you dance in the torrential downpour
Crying over things you pushed away

I push the rain away, reminded of nights alone
My thoughts turn to you again

My heart is rested and breathing
I know you stand by my side in every part of every hour

I can breath again, because I know that's where you'll stay

I also know that you won't come back to me
Not the way I wish you would

My dreams are of you
Of you lifting me up and spinning me around

In empty parking lots full of memories and thick with night

Hope For Me Yet- Marc Broussard

I could bless the water
But it wouldn't turn to wine
Paint a picture of the sunset
Hanging there in your eyes
But it'd just be some compromise

I could write a million verses
Every word you've heard before
Steal some of Dylan's best, 
But it'd leave me wanting to say more
Cause there's so much more

Baby if you could love someone like me
There's no end to the possibility
Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret
But loving you just lets me know
There might be hope for me yet

Sometimes when I look back
I don't even know myself
It blows my mind to think that I've found grace in someone else
Baby your grace is something else

If you could love someone like me
There's no end to the possibility
Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret
But loving you just lets me know
There might be hope for me yet

For the man who's done nothing
I've been blessed with so much more than I deserve
I'm smart enough to know that I've been handed something
Can't put a price on what it's worth

Baby if you could love someone like me
There's no end to the possibility
Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret
But loving you just lets me now
There might be hope for me yet
I may leave a great impression
As I race through a succession
Of the latest crazes, chase the newest fad

I feel better when beguiling
Find that fashion keeps me smiling
But in my heart I know it's rather sad

That a life of great potential
Is dismissed, inconsequential

And only ever seen as being cute
So I'd flutter to deceive
Oh no you must believe
That one day you're bound to find
A stronger suit

Without you the ground thaws,
the rain falls,
the grass grows

Without you the seeds root,
the flowers bloom,
the children play

The stars gleam,
the poets dream,
the eagles fly
without you

The Earth turns,
the sun burns,
but I die
without you

Without you the breeze warms,
the girl smiles,
the cloud moves

Without you the tides change,
the boys run,
the oceans crash

The crowds roar,
the days soar,
the babies cry
without you

The moon glows,
the river flows,
but I die without you

The world revives,
colors renew,
but I know blue,
only blue,
lonely blue
without you

Without you the hand gropes,
the ear hears,
the pulse beats

Without you the eyes gaze,
the legs walk,
the lungs breathe

The mind churns,
the heart yearns,
the tears dry without you

Life goes on,
but I'm gone,
cause I die without you.

I wonder if he smiles when he talks to me.
I sing alleluia and sit in yellow chairs
I stand on the edge of canyons
I wish for the presence of someone I dream about
I hope for fake smile and a ticket home
I outstretch my arms and wish to fly
