Ryan Adams - Big Colors Album Lyrics

If the walls in the room could talk
I wonder to myself, would they laugh?
It's like some kind of jail
Beams of light
Fall through the curtains onto the bed
I'm all alone now, I can do as I please
I don't feel like doing much of anything
True love ain't that hard to find
Not that you will ever know
Would you leave me for awhile?
Please do not let me go
Please do not let me go

You were sweet enough to sing
Oblivious to melody
Red suitcase full of clothes
Washed up on a shore of memories
I'm all alone now, and I feel just fine
I don't feel much like doing anything
True love ain't that hard to find
Not that either one of us will ever know
Would you lay here for awhile?
Please do not let me go
Please do not let me go

I wanna lie down
Here in your arms
And just die
Can I live
Long enough to be alive
With a bleached out heart and a broken smile?

Flowers for brains, permanent sunshine

I wanna hold you
Pieces and prayers
And disarm
Can I live
Long enough to be believed
With a bleached out heart and a broken smile for the wind?

Flowers for brains, permanent sunshine

F*ck the rain
All that pain
Don't
Everything is fine
Can you stop?
Can I be alive?
Process all the doubt
And think
The numbers go in
But they don't go out
On time

Flowers for brains, permanent sunshine
Flowers for brains, permanent sunshine

F*ck the rain
Everything is fine
Can you stop?
Can we be alive?
Processing the doubt
You think
That the numbers, they go in, and they don't go out
On time

'Cause you've got flowers for brains and permanent sunshine

Flowers for brains and permanent sunshine
Flowers for brains and permanent sunshine

Oldham streets
Built to bruise
Freckled face
And a pair of shuffling shoes

Hot pink and red
Rain and booze
Running fast
Past the cotton mill crews

Darkness creeps
Through the halls
Til the walls come tumbling down
Hold my hand
I can tell
Heart beats fast through the streets downtown

I would throw it all away and choose
If I could have been born three blocks from you
And we burn this city to the ground

Manchester ruins
Like a ghost
With its rattling chains and moths
Heron mill
Bricks and lead
Terraced homes hot pink and red

I would throw it all away and choose
If I could have been born three blocks from you
Oooooh
From you oooooh

And we burn this city to the ground
And we burn this city to the ground
And we burn this city to the ground
To the ground
To the ground

All these things keep running through my mind
Everyone and everything I left behind
Standing in the cold great dark
Watching cars go by
And all these things keep running
Through my mind

Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe?
If I don't wanna be with you

Every day my heart seems like a stone
Carries me away into the undertone
At the bottom, there's no air, there's no sound, no light
And all these things keep running
Through my mind

Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe?
If I don't wanna be with you
Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe?
If I don't wanna be with you

On my way back on my sea of heart over
Close my eyes, but if it wasn't mine
It's complicated, I just don't love you anymore
I just wanna sit here and watch it burn
Sit and watch it burn

Sitting look at someone through the world
Running from myself like when I was ejected
Pictures in on the wall, when we used to smile
All these things keep running
Through my mind

Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe?
If I don't wanna be with you
Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe?
If I don't wanna be with you

If I don't wanna be with you
