Alabama Shakes - Sound & Color Album Lyrics

Sound And Color

A new world hangs outside the window
Beautiful and strange
It must be falling away
I must be
Sound and color with me for my mind
And it should show you where to go when I need to speak

Sound and color
With me in my mind
Sound and color
Try to keep yourself awake
Sound and color
This life ain't like a book
Sound and color
I wanna touch a human being
Sound and color
I want to go back to sleep
Sound and color
Ain't life just awfully strange
Sound and color
You wish you never gave it all away
Sound and color
The more the feeling [?]
Sound and color
Life is
Sound and color
Love is
Sound and color
Love is
Sound and color
Sound and color
Sound and color

Don't Wanna Fight

My life, your life
Don't cross them lines
What you like, what I like
Why can't we both be right?
Attacking, defending
Until there's nothing left worth winning
Your pride and my pride
Don't waste my time

I don't wanna fight no more [x6]

Take from my hand
Put in your hands
The fruit of all my grief
Lying down ain't easy
When everyone is pleasing
I can't get no relief
Living ain't no fun
The constant dedication
Keeping the water and power on
There ain't nobody left
Why can't I catch my breath?
I'm gonna work myself to death

I don't wanna fight no more [x6]

No, no, no, no!

I don't wanna fight no more [x7]
I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight!
I don't wanna fight no more [x8]

Dunes

Somewhere over the dunes, love
I walk, I wept
Enough
I turn the desert into sea, babe
I swam from the terrible dust
I don't know whose problem it is
I don't know whose love to give
I'm losing it

Somewhere in me, a memory that I cannot gather anymore
Oh, my word
Oh, my, my
Quiet and empty

Oh, I think I'm losing it
Oh, I think I'm losing it
Oh, I don't know what to do about it
When I'm not so sure about it

I don't know whose problem it is
I don't know whose f*ck to give
I'm losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it
Losing it

Future People

Some want to see
Those who've gone above
Friends that they lost
People they love
I'd rather meet
Freedom than roam
To lead me through the fog
Couldn't ask for more

Children
Take a living
Gotta keep up
You got to give a little, get a little
And see it
Like future people

Some things could be
Seen from above
Thread of design
Don't trip me up

Children
Take a living
Gotta keep up
You got to give a little, get a little
And see it
Like future people

Listen to teachers
Imagine a sound
Listen loud
And then they'll reach the top

Gimme All Your Love

So much is going on
But you can always come around
Why don't you sit with me for just a little while?
Tell me, what's wrong?

If you just gimme all your love ohh
Gimme all you got, babe
Gimme all your love ohh
Bit more

So tell me what you wanna do
You say the world, it doesn't fit with you
Why don't you talk to me for just a little while?
I can only try to make it right

If you just gimme all your love ohh
Gimme all you got, babe
Gimme all your love ohh

Give me all your love
Give me all you got, babe
Give me all your love

This Feeling

I just kept hoping, I just kept hoping
The way would become clear
I spent all this time tryna play nice and
Fight my way here

See, I've been having me a real hard time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

So I just kept dreaming, yeah, I just kept dreaming
It wasn't very hard
I spent all this time tryna figure out why
Nobody on my side

See, I've been having me a real god time
And it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

So please don't take my feelings
I have found at last
So please don't take my feelings
I have found at last
Yeah, if I wanted to... I'd be alright

So I just kept going, I just kept going
And hoping I'm growing near
Well this good and fine, I spent all this time
Tryna find my way here

And I've been having me a real fun time
And it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

Please don't take this feeling
I have found at last
Please don't take my feeling
I have found at last
If I wanted to, I'd be alright
Yeah, if I wanted to, I'd be alright

Guess Who

I can't tell you how I feel, but I do
Those things they say can't get to me, but they do
I don't see the sky as blue, as you do
Should I fantasize? There must be some way to love again

It's been so hard for a girl like me, it's true
People say I look just like my daddy, cause I do

All I really want is peace of mind

Why is everything so complicated?
Why is everyone so infatuated?
I gather myself safely
To a life [?]

Everybody's leaving all the time
All I really want is peace of mind

The Greatest

Well I never meant to be the greatest
I only ever wanted to be your baby
Not a stuck piece in your heart
Don't ever let me go
Go anywhere

Should I stay, stay away
I know you been out there tryin' to be my baby
But God help us, help us all
Don't ever let me down
Go ahead and do with it

I stayed, stayed away
I know you ain't out there tryin' to be my baby
Dried up, ugly in your soul
Don't ever let me go
I can be your one and only

But I never meant to be the greatest
I know you ain't out there tryin to be my baby
C'mon love me c'mon
God please give 'im some soul
If you can do anything

Shoegaze

Can't wait for night to come
That's when the fun really begins
My band cools off when that day is done
And then I tuck myself in

[Chorus:]
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not truly lonely
And I'm beginning to realize it
I can't have everything, everything
Why can't I?

Let's all make memories
Precious and temporary
Of all the people I meet,
I want to take it all with me

[Chorus:]
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not truly lonely
And I'm beginning to realize it
I can't have everything, everything
Why can't I?]

Jesus is waiting on me
Just as he always does
Something will be coming up
Just like it always does

[Chorus:]
It ain't no fun to be lonely
But I was not truly lonely
And I'm beginning to realize it
I can't have everything, everything
Why can't I?

Why can't I? [x6]

Miss You

I'm gonna miss you
And your Mickey Mouse tattoo
And you'll be leaving in your Honda Accord

Well is it true?
All them bad things you do?
Well are they sure
Are they sure that it was you?

You could tell me
You know you could still tell me everything
Tell me - I bet you didn't do nothing wrong
Tell me - What's been going on?

Maybe the stars aligned,
or maybe I've just changed my mind
Maybe I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
Yes, sir

Well I do not love you
Because I'm bored
No, I was just saying them things
When I was feeling a little unsure about myself
and I'm sorry baby that wasn't right

Then you got me thinkin'
Yea, thinking of you
Thinking for the last time
Yea, the last time
Now that I know you're really gonna leave me

Maybe the stars aligned,
or maybe I've just changed my mind
Maybe I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
Yea, yea

I'm gonna miss you
Just wait and see
I cannot chase you
I can't make you stay

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Come on
You really didn't do nothing wrong
Baby, come on
Come on
Come on

Maybe the stars aligned,
or maybe I've just changed my mind
Maybe I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
Yes, sir

Gemini

On a planet not so far away
We were born together
In the beginning there was just you and me
Where we was washed up
Upon this river
Suckle on the honey of the Tennessee
Where we would sleep
In the soft sunshine
I smile at you and you to me

And in the dark
I see the moon shine in your eyes
We were strong and tall as weeds
Never live forever, there
No such thing
I looked at you, and you looked into me
And we saw in each other, everything
We knew no fear as we grew the years
That's the growing up, we've come to love

On this planet not so far away
We wouldn't stay together
Rolling in a dream
We'd drift apart, on down the stream
Like honeysuckle tangled up in kudzu vine
The snake that lay in the sun, so fine
I saw the true you and you, true me

And in your eyes
I'd see the dark inside of you
Woke from dreams
Pulled up like weeds
Never knew no better
There was no such thing
I reached for you like a child that clings
Oh, how we saw in each other, everything
Everything
Everything

Over My Head

I'm in over my head, I don't think of you
And bits and pieces, I think of you only like a miracle
Lovin' so deeply, I feel it through all my past lives
It feels good, I'm never saying goodbye
It feels good, I'm never saying goodbye

I'm in over my head, over my head
I'm in over my head, over my head

Silence, they explain it to me
There's no joy I can take with no one worth waiting
Here for now, but not for long
Whether my mind slipped away, explain that to me

I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head

Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
Loving so deeply, I'm in over my head
