Joanna 03:09
You can reach out Ah you can take it Or We can go a day at a time But baby I know it’s hard to be patient When we’re lonely you’re the only thing on my mind Joanna Joanna won’t you take my hand And maybe we can make it to the promised land Joanna Joanna They don’t understand but baby you and me Ain’t just one song and dance Baby they won’t understand They won’t understand But I can’t even look away I can’t look away From the big brown eyes It’s like I’m hypnotized by Joanna You can reach out Ah you can take it Or you can kick me out to the curb Just wanta feel that push from your body baby I want to feel my guts start to burn Joanna Joanna won’t you take my hand And maybe we can make it to the promised land Joanna Joanna They don’t understand Baby they won’t understand They won’t understand But I can’t even look away I can’t look away From those big brown eyes It’s like I’m hypnotized There ain’t no disguise To keep me away from your side Joanna You know I can’t go back Joanna Away from your side

Sea People 03:24
Swim out to the sea people you can sink for leagues and leagues You can find the real reason they dont make a sound sitting in an underwater tree and the faces of men are the kind they never wanted to see cause they might be something else but theyre not so different they might have fins and gils but its not that different cause they might be something else but theyre not so different You can’t fear the sea people they just float and drift in peace You cant treat such a deep creature like youre on the ground They make all the wild look so free its a shame you cant hold your breathe to take a look and see cause they might be something else but theyre not so different they might have fins and gils but its not that different cause they might be something else but theyre not so diferent gonna drink all the water my body can hold put weights on my legs to drop me to the ocean floor i know theyre down there i know theyre waiting there for me

Maybe I don’t want to be in love again Baby I’m just scared to be alone again Maybe I don’t want to be in love again Baby I’m just scared to be alone There’s a lot i can’t explain When we’ve made up our minds Can’t get days to feel the same And I can’t stop and wind back the time You had a Purple Heart And I saw the gold before the love in the middle Maybe I don’t want to be in love again Baby I’m just scared to be alone again Maybe I don’t want to be in love again Baby I’m just scared to be alone There’s a lot i can’t explain When we’ve made up our minds Can’t get days to feel the same And I can’t stop and wind back the time You had a Purple Heart And I saw the gold before the love in the middle Maybe I don’t want to be in love again Baby I’m just scared to be alone again Maybe I don’t want to be in love again Baby I’m just scared to be alone

All those hometown girls you thought you'd never leave They stuck around downtown, married up their dreams I knew they had their moments But I thought id never see Those hometown girls calling out to me All those hometown girls meeting up for lunch They tore the diner down now theres nowhere left to run That marquee sign is rusted and faded from the sun Like hometown girls just looking for some fun I see that look in the mirror That same expression is changing I can try to be a modern man I can try to be your modern man All those hometown girls growing up so fast They watch the kids all day but still dreaming in the past They spark their joy from photos or throw them in the trash Those hometown girls trying to make it last I see that look in the mirror That same expression is changing I can try to be a modern man I can try to be your modern man All those hometown girls you thought you'd never leave They stuck around downtown, married up their dreams I knew they had their moments But I thought id never see Those hometown girls calling out to me
