Carly Pearce - Carly Pearce Album Lyrics

Closer to You

I got a fast car, gassed up, sitting in the drive way
Got a road that I know like the back of my hand
We could head out right now, baby, we could fly away
Disappear outta here fast as we can

Ooh, I miss you, baby
Ooh, I'm going crazy

There's a diamond sky that's waiting for us just outside of town
With the moon hanging for me and you, baby
We can cut the headlights out when there ain't no one else around
Kill the space in between, slide across that leather seat
Heart to heart, face to face, you know all I wanna do
Is get closer, closer, closer to you
Closer to you

Wanna taste that great wide open freedom
Wanna make the distance razor thin
Wanna feel you feel me feel you breathing
Till we can't tell where you end and where I begin

There's a diamond sky that's waiting for us just outside of town
With the moon hanging for me and you, baby
We can cut the headlights out when there ain't no one else around
Kill the space in between, slide across that leather seat
Heart to heart, face to face, you know all I wanna do
Is get closer, closer, closer to you
Closer to you, ooh

Ooh, I miss you, baby
Ooh, I'm going crazy

There's a diamond sky that's waiting for us just outside of town
With the moon hanging for me and you, baby
We can cut the headlights out when there ain't no one else around
Kill the space in between, slide across that leather seat
Heart to heart, face to face, you know all I wanna do
Is get closer, closer, closer to you
Closer to you
Closer, closer, closer to you
Closer to you

Call Me

I bet you're watchin' that clock tick-tock, sittin' all alone
Tryna fix that broken-heart heartbreak on your own
I bet it's been a little while since you let yourself have some fun
Well, baby, you don't need no permission
But if you need a reason, I could be the one

We can go downtown
We can stay out all night
Turnin' the neon into morning light
Why would you stay home?
No need to be lonely
You got my number

For a good time, call me
Whatever you want, that's all me
Yeah, I can be that somebody
That you're gonna hold tonight (tonight)
For a good time, call me
Baby, you won't be sorry
Lay your hands and your kisses on me
And I'll make it all alright (alright), alright

I got a mix that I made for the weekend on the stereo
I got a black leather jacket and a red dress ready to go
The only thing missin' is you knock-knock-knockin' on my door
Well, you don't need a map, you know where I'm at
So tell me, baby, what you're waitin' for

We can go downtown
We can stay out all night
Turnin' the neon into morning light
Why would you stay home?
No need to be lonely
You got my number

For a good time, call me
Whatever you want, that's all me
Yeah, I can be that somebody
That you're gonna hold tonight (tonight)
Yeah, for a good time, call me
Baby, you won't be sorry
Lay your hands and your kisses on me
And I'll make it all alright (alright), alright

(We could go downtown) we can go downtown
We can stay out all night
Turnin' the neon (turnin' the neon) into morning light
So why would you stay home?
No need to be lonely
You got my number

For a good time, call me
Whatever you want, that's all me
Yeah, I can be that somebody
That you're gonna hold tonight (tonight)
Yeah, for a good time, call me
Baby, you won't be sorry
Lay your hands and your kisses on me
And I'll make it all alright (alright)
For a good time, call me
Baby, call me
Baby, call me
Yeah, baby, what you waitin' for tonight?

I Hope You're Happy Now

It's all on me, it's my mistake
I said "I don't love you" a little too late
But I guess there ain't ever a right time
And I don't know why it's called a goodbye

Go run my name into the ground
Tell everyone you know just how
How I slammed the door on our forever
But I promise you it's for the better

I hope you find what you were looking for
I hope your heart ain't hurting anymore
And you get moving on, all figured out
And you don't hate me somehow
'Cause I hope you're happy now

Who knew this heart could break this hard
Or a love like ours could fall apart
Without so much as a warning
I thought that I was what you wanted

Well I guess you found what you were looking for
I guess my heart ain't worth it anymore
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess
And I ain't got nothing left
And so I hope you're happy now

I hope you find what you were looking for
I guess my heart ain't worth it anymore
Hope you get moving on, all figured out
And you don't hate me somehow
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess
And I ain't got nothing left
So I hope you're happy now
Happy now
Oh, I hope you're happy now

Dashboard Jesus

The sun's goin' down on those little white lines
There's a whole lot of home sick, ridin' shotgun on the passenger side
Oh, and what's up ahead is not quite clear
But everything she knew just keeps gettin' smaller in the rearview mirror

Any night, Chevrolet
The AC's busted, but the radio plays
As she flies on faith down the highway

Everybody says she's dreamin'
Call her crazy for believin'
Sometimes, all you really need is
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus

Maybe she'll find a little one horse town
Dip her toes in the sand on the edge of the ocean and put her roots down
Maybe bright city lights will call her name
Long as she's goin' somewhere, it don't matter to her either way

Everybody says she's dreamin'
Call her crazy for believin'
Sometimes, all you really need is
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus

Everybody says she's dreamin'
Crazy for believin'
But all you really need is
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus
She's leavin'
Chasin' down the taste of freedom
Sometimes, all you really need is
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Halfway Home

Blame it on me, I'm an actor, I'm a fake
Blame it on me, I broke your heart, but by mistake
Call it what you wanna, good intentions or denial
But if I'm bein' honest, I've been lyin' for a while

Halfway right doesn't make it right
Halfway wrong is still wrong
Half of me is with you here tonight
And half of me is long gone
You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't
But halfway to Heaven isn't Hell
And halfway home just ain't home

And I put it off, I was selfish, I was scared
I put it off and I know it isn't fair
No one wants to stay, but no one wants to say goodbye
Let's call it what it is and we'll get out of this alive

Halfway right doesn't make it right
Halfway wrong is still wrong
Half of me is with you here tonight
And half of me is long gone
You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't
But halfway to Heaven isn't Hell
And halfway home just ain't home
Home

And I'm sorry, if I hang on to you, I'll drown
I'm so sorry, if I don't let go, I'm goin' down

Halfway right doesn't make it right
Halfway wrong is still wrong
Half of me didn't see it comin'
Half of me knew it all along
You can try to tell a heart to feel somethin' that it don't
But halfway to Heaven isn't Hell
And halfway home just ain't home
Home
It ain't home
Home

Heart's Going Out Of Its Mind

I'm an ease in, count to ten
Yeah, we'll see what happens
I'm a three date make him wait
Wait for a reaction

But you make my heart go thump, tha-thump, thump
Like nothing else
Who am I, what the hell
I don't recognize myself

Boy, whatever you're selling I'm buying it
I'm losing it a little but I'm liking it
There's something in the air tonight
My heart's going out of its mind
Boy, whatever you're doing keep doing it
My lipstick baby you can ruin it
If I look a little crazy, that's fine
My heart's going out of its mind

You just said hi, now I'm high
And I'm not smokin' nothin'
All you did was touch my hand
Let me tell you something

You make my heart go beat, ba-beat, beat
Right out my chest
I'll admit, I confess, yeah you got me, I'm a mess

Boy, whatever you're selling I'm buying it
I'm losing it a little but I'm liking it
There's something in the air tonight
My heart's going out of its mind
Boy, whatever you're doing keep doing it
My lipstick baby you can ruin it
If I look a little crazy, that's fine
My heart's going out of its mind

(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its, heart's going out of its
(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its mind

You make my heart go thump, tha-thump, thump
Like nothing else
Who I am, what the hell
I don't recognize myself

Boy, whatever you're selling, I'm buying it
I'm losing it a little but I'm liking it
There's something in the air tonight
My heart's going out of its mind

Boy, whatever you're selling I'm buying it
I'm losing it a little but I'm liking it
There's something in the air tonight
My heart's going out of its mind
Boy, whatever you're doing keep doing it
My lipstick baby you can ruin it
If I look a little crazy, that's fine
My heart's going out of its mind

(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its, heart's going out of its
(Out of its, out of its)
Heart's going out of its mind

Finish Your Sentences

Should I wear this dress?
Yeah, you know it looks so good on you
Should we go to that bar?
Yeah, you know I got a table for two
Should we call a, a cab?
It'll be here in five
Oh, there you go reading my mind

No, no, no, nobody knows me like you
Crazy how you do what you do, you do

You know what I'm thinking 'fore I'm thinking it
Ooh, you light the fire and I keep it lit
Yeah, I know you better than you know yourself
You start it, I'll end it
I love that I can finish your sentences
Finish your sentences, yeah

On second thought
Maybe we should skip that party
I was thinking that too
Don't wanna share you with nobody
Maybe we should open up that bottle of wine
Call our friends and tell 'em we can't make it tonight

'Cause you know what I'm thinking 'fore I'm thinking it
Ooh, you light the fire and I keep it lit
Yeah, I know you better than you know yourself
You start it, I'll end it
I love that I can finish your sentences
Finish your sentences, yeah

No, no, no, nobody knows me like you
Crazy how you do what you do (what you do)
No, no, no, nobody knows me like you (knows me like you)
Crazy how you do what you do (what you do)

You know what I'm thinking 'fore I'm thinking it (before I'm thinking it)
Ooh, you light the fire and I keep it lit (I keep it lit)
Yeah, I know you better than you know yourself (better than you know yourself)
You start it, I'll end it
I love that I can finish your sentences
(I can) finish your sentences, yeah

It Won't Always Be Like This

I remember how I couldn't wait to get out
Of my hometown now I'm looking for, every excuse to go back on the weekend
I can still see the front porch balcony every time I leave, grandpa waving back at me
Wish I could've told myself back then

It won't always be like this
It won't always be like this

I know nothing lasts forever but sometimes I still forget
It won't always be like this
I remember hearing the door slam
22 didn't have a clue who I was, who I could trust and who were my real friends
I had big wings but didn't have a sky
Just a front row view of everybody flying high
Waiting for my time, wish I could've told myself back then

It won't always be like this
It won't always be like this

No the heart won't ache forever no matter how hard it gets
It won't always be like this, no
Looking at you, looking back at me
All I wanna do is make another memory
And love you like it's the end
Cause it won't always be like this

It won't always be like this, no
It won't always be like this
I know it won't always be like this
I wish life would last forever so I could live it all again

It won't always be like this
It won't always be like this

Lightning In A Bottle

Twenty dollar Cabernet
Was the same kind we always drank
Never knew it to go to my head like it did
When you were pullin' more than you usually do
How'd you know that I need an excuse
To say the words I never thought I'd use 'til I did?

Oh, what are the chances that your heart was thinkin'
What my heart was thinkin' when we got to drinkin'?

We caught lightin' in a bottle last night
You could feel the heat comin' off the vine
Fallin' for the first time, yeah, it just can't happen twice
We caught ligthin' in a bottle last night

I'd have to say the odds are in our favor
A little too early or a little bit later
And we might've missed the moment
And the magic that came with it
I have a hard time believin' that it was so easy
But you made it easy

We caught lightin' in a bottle last night
You could feel the heat comin' off the vine
Fallin' for the first time, yeah, it just can't happen twice
We caught ligthin' in a bottle last night

Ooh, yeah

Oh, what are the chances that your heart was thinkin'
What my heart was thinkin'...

When we caught lightin' in a bottle last night
Oh, you could feel the heat comin' off the vine
Fallin' for the first time, yeah, it just can't happen twice
We caught ligthin' in a bottle last night
We caught ligthin' in a bottle last night

Love Has No Heart

Like I had nothin' better to do with my time than
Be here alone, lookin' at the phone
Goin' over every word you said just like a broken record playin'
The same sad song that I can't turn off

It starts with glitter, the shine of the shimmer
The flash of the picture, then after that
The fade of the glimmer, the drop of the hammer
The pieces that shatter, the aftermath

Love just don't care who's in its path
Love won't slow down, it don't look back
It don't give a damn who it tears apart
It just moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Love has no heart

What fools we are to think
We're the only ones who figured out
How to rise above the fury of

The heat of the moment, the comin' and goin'
The never quite knowin' if it's all done
The givin', the takin', the buildin', the breakin'
And just when you're thinkin' you found the one

Love just don't care who's in it's path
Love won't slow down, it don't look back
It don't give a damn who it tears apart
It just moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Love has no heart
Ooh

It starts with glitter, the shine of the shimmer
The flash of the picture, then after that
The fade of the glimmer, the drop of the hammer
The pieces that shatter, the aftermath

Love just don't care who's in it's path
Love won't slow down, it don't look back
It don't give a damn who it tears apart
It just moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Love has no heart

Woman Down

Woman down, down on her luck
There goes the man, there goes the plan, there goes the truck
Woman down, down to one prayer
God get me through it for the two asleep upstairs
She can't breathe, but she ain't dyin'
And there ain't no time for cryin'
There's a phoenix down inside when
Her feet are to the fire

Who you gonna bet on when the sky is fallin'?
Been to hell and back, up against the wall, then
Gets knocked down but ain't afraid of crawlin'
Who's your money on, who's your money on?
She can make a mountain move
And do it in her high heeled shoes
If she ain't back up yet, just stick around
You can't keep a woman down
A woman down

A woman down don't stay down long
Can't come unglued, yeah, she's got too much goin' on
If she's out of land, she'll find a boat
Can't find a hand, she'll find some rope
All out of heart, she'll find some hope
Where you swear it can't be found

Who you gonna bet on when the sky is fallin'?
Been to hell and back, up against the wall, then
Gets knocked down but ain't afraid of crawlin'
Who's your money on, who's your money on?
She can make a mountain move
And do it in her high heeled shoes
If she ain't back up yet, just stick around
You can't keep a woman down
A woman down, a woman down

Who you gonna bet on when the sky is fallin'?
Who you gonna call on when the Devil's callin'?
Who you gonna bet on when the sky is fallin'?
Who you gonna call on when the Devil's callin'?

Who you gonna bet on when the sky is fallin'?
Been to hell and back, up against the wall, then
Gets knocked down but ain't afraid of crawlin'
Who's your money on, who's your money on?
She can make a mountain move
And do it in her high heeled shoes
If she ain't back up yet, just stick around
You can't keep a woman down

Who you gonna bet on when the sky is fallin'?
A woman down
Who you gonna call on when the Devil's callin'?
A woman down
Who you gonna bet on when the sky is fallin'?
A woman down
Who you gonna call on when the Devil's callin'?

You Kissed Me First

I know I put on that dress
And painted my lips red
I know I walked in this bar
With a couple of my friends
I know that I told you
The barstool was free
I know that I smiled back
When you smiled at me

But you were the one that got me a drink
Champagne glass full of sunset pink
You asked me to dance, asked my name
Then you paid the bar band to play
One more slow song before last call
Then you leaned in so it ain't my fault
If I wake up in your t-shirt
Just remember, you kissed me first
Yeah, you kissed me, kissed me, kissed me
You kissed me first
Whoa

I know I laid my head
On your shoulder in the dark
I know I took your hand
Under the neon stars
I know I told myself
Let's see where it goes
I know I didn't pull back
When you pulled me close

But you were the one that got me a drink
Champagne glass full of sunset pink
You asked me to dance, asked my name
Then you paid the bar band to play
One more slow song before last call
Then you leaned in so it ain't my fault
If I wake up in your t-shirt
Just remember, you kissed me first
Yeah, you kissed me, kissed me, kissed me
You kissed me first
Whoa

And I won't be the one to blame
If this is meant to be
And I won't feel guilty
If you fall in love with me

'Cause you were the one that got me a drink
Champagne glass full of sunset pink
You asked me to dance, asked my name
Then you paid the bar band to play
One more slow song before last call
Then you leaned in so it ain't my fault
If I wake up in your t-shirt
Just remember, you kissed me first
Yeah, you kissed me, kissed me, kissed me
You kissed me first
Whoa

Greener Grass

In the back yard, layin' on our backs (Oh)
We were fireflies burnin' way too fast (Oh)
Midnight, only you and me, perfect as can be
I still see it now (Still see it now)
Blue jean, lean in for a kiss, summer on your lips
Blanket on the ground

In greener grass, remember that?
'Cause, baby, I do, it keeps me up all night long
Lookin' back, runnin' through my head
Baby, I tried to, but I can't forget
Yeah, on this side of the fence, no, nothin' makes sense
I wish I woulda known what I had
Was greener grass, greener grass

We were secrets, whisperin' in the dark (Oh)
We were golden underneath the stars (Oh)
You never know just what you have 'til it ain't comin' back
Ain't that how it goes? (Ain't that how it goes?)
Silver moon up in the sky, diamonds in my eyes
I'm pullin' you in close

On greener grass, remember that?
'Cause, baby, I do, it keeps me up all night long
Lookin' back, runnin' through my head
Baby, I tried to, but I can't forget
Yeah, it won't leave me alone and it cuts me to the bone
Knowing that I can't go back
To greener grass, greener grass

We were fireflies burnin' way too fast
(Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh)

In greener grass, remember that?
'Cause, baby, I do, it keeps me up all night long
Lookin' back, runnin' through my head
Baby, I tried to, but I can't forget
Yeah, it won't leave me alone and it cuts me to the bone
Knowing that I can't go back
To greener grass, greener grass
Greener grass, greener grass

Oh yeah
Ooh
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
