Ryn Weaver - The Fool Lyrics
Runaway
If it takes two, I'm betting on you
To hold me tight when tides are high
What'll you do while I'm waiting on you
To dry these tears you made me cry?
Feet colder than the snow that choked the city
My wings too wild to clip and cage around me
So maybe I'm selfish for being an actor
Pretending to gather when I am a hunter
Or maybe I'm wicked for eating the apple
Or maybe I'm hungry for more than I've got
All I know is that I've got to
Runaway (run, run, run)
Runaway (run, run, run)
Runaway (run, run, run)
Runaway (oh!)
They tell me temper, temper, little lady
Better bite that tongue, it is not becoming
My blood boils rapids to break the levy
And let it keep on running, running
And maybe I'm crazy for claiming my freedom
For loving and leaving, I secretly hear them
It could be so simple, I've broken the thimble
Equipped with a map and a guide to decide
All I know is that I've got to
Runaway (run, run, run)
Runaway (run, run, run)
Runaway (run, run, run)
Runaway (oh!)
No, you don't leave
And I know myself
Better lose me now
Before I lose myself
No, you don't love me
And I won't love myself
Better lose me now
Before I lose myself
(Run, run, run, run, run...)
Runaway (run, run, run)
Runaway (run, run, run)
Runaway (run, run, run)
Runaway (oh!)
No, you don't leave
And I know myself
Better lose me now
Before I lose myself
No, you don't love me
And I won't love myself
Better lose me now
Before I lose myself
(Run, run, run, run, run...)

OctaHate
Watch it
Lost in the cracks
Of the landslide
You saw me slipping on
My blind side
I'm feeling lost
Feeling tongue-tied
And now I'm frozen
In your headlights
Deep in the haze
Of your love high
I used to soar on
The live wire
I'm coming down
From your supply
And I don't know
If you can make right
[Chorus:]
I can't take it
From the day I saw
My heart start breaking
No one saved me
I can't take it
Can't believe I went and
Lost you baby
Earth keeps shaking
All around
Oh, you let me down
And I can't take it
From the day I saw
My heart start breaking
No one saved me
Shot through the cracks
Of the earthquake
My body's moving
Into retrograde
I'm feeling loose
Feeling untamed...
And you're the dynamite
In my chains
Deep in the trench
Of the crossfire
You shot me down
From the live wire
Tossed to the loss
In your love game
You beat me cheating
And now I can't play
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Hit the ground
Running up from you
Baby you know I don't want to
No I want you
But there's nothing
Left to say
Lost in the riddle you gave me
Caught in the middle
You played me;
See so plainly
But there's nothing left to say...
I should've known
I should've known
[Chorus]
Watch it

Pierre
I danced in the desert, in the pouring rain
Drank with the devil and forgot my name
Woke with somebody when the morning came
No one there to shame me for my youth
Cause I wouldn't be with you
And then I found me a lover who could play the bass
He's kinda quiet, but his body ain't
Spend the days dreaming and the nights awake
Doin' things we know we shouldn't do
Cause I wouldn't be with you
Says he can't believe he found me
Wraps his arms around me
Yeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah
[Chorus:]
I can't let him in
You call me up and ask me how I've been
I'll call your bluff and
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
No, I can't let them in
You play me rough, but I won't let you in
So, call my bluff, I'll
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
Keep on telling you lies
Count down to the day they may come true
And I fell for a vagabond, a month at tops
Lied and said his bike was in the "motor shop"
Drove my car once and made the tire pop
Still we had some fun, till I came to
Cause I wouldn't be with you
On the Fourth of July, I met a man, "Pierre"
Lied about his age, but I didn't care
Spoke in broken English but the heart was there
In those eyes of sky and ocean blue
Cause I wouldn't be with you
He says he can't believe he found me
Wraps his arms around me
Yeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah
[Chorus]
Count down to the day they may come true
I'm counting dow-ow-ow-ow-own
I'm still so dow-ow-ow-ow-own
I'll come around

Stay Low
[Pre-Chorus:]
Let the night come
Dim the lights home
Whisky lemon
Let the time go
[Chorus:]
Way slow
Let the records lay low
Like the sun goes way low
Lay me down
Now lay low, oh
Stay low [x5]
Slow day but I pass the time
Coffee and a half a pack
Said I'm thinking about you and I
Took a while but you hittin' me back
And you know
I get so sick of the telephone
I cry and you cry
And then I thank you
Tell me if your day was rough
And then you let me make it right
King size, passenger side
Let's ride
Stay low [x4]
[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]
Slow day but I pass the time
Coffee and a half a pack
Said I'm thinking about you and I
Took a while but you hittin' me back
And you know
And you know
And you know
Stay low

Sail On
I took your hand and held it in my clutch
But it was never mine to hold
You're loving something of a Midas touch
The ones you need you turn to stone
[Chorus x2:]
Well sail on
Sail on, till you're gone
And then some
With all your broken pieces, pieces
And now you're spewing out those lonely lies
You say you've changed it all around
But you'll be gone again when the winds blow, oh sailor
Another state to claim with your flag upon the ground
[Chorus x2]
Shatter the light to let it go
Whatever time it'll take to break you
Burden out lives
And sound of sirens
Sail on! [repeat]

The Fool
And now I see in technicolor
A movie script lover
You chase me while I play the clown, oh
But then you know, oh
I tend to stack the deck with wild cards
You're betting all you got on a broken heart
I say don't, oh
But now you know, oh
So I curse my stars for a fair game
While you nurse my scars and the old flame
I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool for
I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool for
I'm a fool for you (you, you)
I'm a f... you (you, you) I'm a f...
If I let you down like I tend to
I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool
Now I see shades of roses
Your love, I suppose, is an ocean the ebb and the flow, oh
An undertow, oh
But I can feel the rogue inside my veins
A way to crash the castle we made of sand
Oh, I hope, oh
It doesn't show, oh
So I curse my stars for a fair game
While you nurse my scars and the old flame
I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool for
I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool for
I'm a fool for you (you, you)
I'm a f... you (you, you) I'm a f...
If I let you down like I tend to
I'm a fool for you, I'm a fool
Old dog, new treat, a shorter leash
I cannot breathe, I lock the door
You flood the gate
Tick, tick, too late
But still, you know, I'm a fool for
You (you, you)
I'm a fool for
I'm a fool for
I'm a fool for
You
(You, you) I'm a f...
(You, you) I'm a f...
(You, you) I'm a f...
(You, you) I'm a f...
(You, you) I'm a f...
(You, you) I'm a f...
(You, you) I'm a f...
(You, you)

Promises
[Intro:]
Never meant to break my own promises [x2]
Promises, promises [x4]
[Verse 1:]
Again with excuses and generally wastin' my time
I'm findin' solutions, just seekin' my peace of mind
No hocus or pocus, my focus is drunk on the floor
And mumbling something about one more
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I'm fallin' across the line
Keep punchin' pedals at the amber lights
And I cross my heart and hope to die
Unless I happen to lie
[Chorus:]
I never meant to break my own promises [x2]
Oh, one more night
I said it the last time
This is the last time, say it a million more
Never meant to my break my own promises
Break my own promises
Promises, promises [x4]
[Verse 2:]
I said I was tryin', I really was drivin' the coast
The fighter, the flight, we lost sight with the lattermost
It almost is laughable, but when I chuckle I choke
Can't get the words out my throat, oh one more
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Is that my lion's pride?
I meet my mountain then I run and hide
And I cross my heart and hope to die
Unless I happen to lie
[Chorus]

Free
You cast a spell on me
I was broken by the breeze
And runnin' from the ones behind me
Just in it for the game
A wild thing to tame
But you took my hand and ran beside me
I'm slippin' up under my feet
Hallelujah, believe
Hear my heart beat major keys
Nothin' competes
When love is free
My compass may be broke
But you follow where I go
And you never really seem to mind it
Sun, stare it in the eye
Now I'm blinded by the light
That seein' you with eyes wide open
I'm slippin' up under my feet
Hallelujah, believe
Hear my heart beat major keys
Nothin' competes
When love is free
Not a ball or a chain, just a ball when we're together
Not a ball or a chain, just a ball when we're together
Not a ball or a chain, just a ball when we're together
Not a ball or a chain, just a ball when we're together
Not a ball or a chain, just a ball when we're together
Not a ball or a chain, just a ball, just a ball, ball
When love is free

Traveling Song
Oh, father time
That meet a maid who lends one lively winking eye
We dance a borrowed chick while hiding from the fine
Oh, what I wouldn't spend to lend you mine, hmm
Nobody knows where they are going
Oh, how we try to wrap our minds
Over the edge of all our knowings
Be it a bang or the divine
Tip of my iceberg blues are showing
I've never been one for goodbyes
So, 'till I meet you there, I'm singing
A traveling song to ease the ride
And so you know, everywhere I roam
I'll see you on the road, ooh
Oh, I take it in vain
All the plans and moves that we made
Half a heart is aching to grow
So many times, just lovers you know, I know, I know
Your eyes are the rain, just a soul that's changin' in shape
I'll be laughin' all of the way
Thinkin' 'bout the days, oh
Nobody knows where they are going
Oh, how we try to wrap our minds
Over the edge of all our knowings
Be it a bang or the divine
Tip of my iceberg blues are showing
I've never been one for goodbyes
So, 'till I meet you there, I'm singing
A traveling song to ease the ride
And so you know, everywhere I roam
I'll see you on the road
So, farewell to my friend
He who taught me to love like a beast
And to feast like the queen that he fed turtle soup
Little boy from Paris to the States, check the facts
That was Magical Max
He was black sheep and mischief and loved for his craft
Then he told me that I was Apollo 13
On that very last day, he said
"Shoot for your dreams, little girl, to the stars,"
Well I'm taking you with me
Now this one is ours
And I know what you'd say, you'd say
"On with the show,"
So on we go

Here Is Home
I can't hold it, but I feel it in my bones
Throwin' roses with my faith and skipping stones
Everybody knows every single soul's looking for heaven
Chase the greener road, everybody knows, but you
Cause when the rain falls or the river's dry running
You can fall into my arms
And if we're still living when the Earth stops spinning
You can fall into my arms
Singin' ooh, even if you stay or if you go
Singin' ooh, oh, I know you know that here is home
Yes, I know you know that here is home
I'll be walking slowly while the seasons come and go
No, I won't be lonely even when I'm all alone
And calling your name, and counting the days
Because everybody knows, every single soul's looking for heaven
Chase the greener road, everybody knows, but you
Cause when the rain falls or the river's dry running
You can fall into my arms
And if we're still living when the Earth stops spinning
You can fall into my arms
Singin' ooh, even if you stay or if you go
Singin' ooh, oh, I know you know that here is home
Yes, I know you know that here is home
Cause you know that I'm not worried about
Oh, where you go, baby, go live it up
Now, I'm not worried about
Oh, where you go, baby, give it up
No, I don't know who you know, but I know enough
When the rain falls or the river's dry running
You can fall into my arms
And if we're still living when the Earth stops spinning
You can fall into my arms
Singin' ooh, even if you stay or if you go
Singin' ooh, oh, I know you know that here is home
Yes, I know you know that here is home
If it takes two, I'm betting on you
To hold me tight when tides are high
What will you do? I'm waiting on you
To dry these tears you made me cry

New Constellations
I can only imagine the day that they said
No, the world isn't flat it's a circle instead
You can run to wherever you want to now
And those dizzy stargazers
Who dreamed of the black, kept their heads in the clouds and they
Never looked back, they kept wandering
And never did they look down
Charting Neptune by the fire of the sun
Kept looking for new constellations
New constellations
There's no walls and no ceilings as far as I know
Just the echoes of scars and the unbeaten road
Trip the gun on cautions that I've been sold
'Cause it's hard to believe that it's wrong
To want more than the truest of blue and a love like a roar
I will run to wherever I want to go
Oh, charting Neptune by the fire of the sun
I'm looking for new constellations
New constellations
So keep calling me crazy 'cause I never learned
You should stop loving fire because you got burned
Now it feels like I'm living some sick déjà vu
Like the answers were there when I stared into you
Child of Neptune, I'm the daughter of the sun
Keep showing me new constellations
New constellations
You can run, you can run
You can run if you want to, if you want to, you know you can run
You can run
You can run if you want to, if you want to, you know you can run
You can run
You can run if you want to, if you want to, you know you can run
You can run
You can run if you want to, if you want to, you know you can run
What if there's more?
What if there's more?
What if there's more?
Oh, what if there's more?
What if I need just a little bit more?
