The Avett Brothers – A Gift For Melody Anne lyrics

I want to get back
I want to get square
I want to get back all the hopes and the dreams that I had
That the good lord above us can't spare
Like that actor said I don't want to lose heart
I don't want to get beat beat down by the big big world
I'll quit before I even start

Lord I just want my life to be true
And I just want my heart to be true
And I just want my words to be true
I want my soul to feel brand new

I want to hold hands yeah
Yeah and I want make love
I want to keep running all day and and all night
Even when my mind tells my body that's enough

And I want to stand up yeah and I want to stand tall
If I ever have a son, if I ever have a daughter
I don't want to tell them that I didn't give my all

And I just want my life to be true
I just want my heart to be true
I just want my words to be true
I want my soul to feel brand brand new

Like a fresh coat of paint
We can make it anything but blue
Anything but blue

Now when your dreams start saying I can't come true
You'd be better off without me
Don't let em go, don't let em go

I don't want to go broke, not from one bad deal
I don't want to be up all night crying in my hands
For a girl that isn't even real

Lord I just want my life to be true
And I just want my heart to be true
And I just want my words to be true
And I just want my song to be true
And I just want my heart to be true
And I just want my life to be true
And I just want my words to be true
And I just want my heart to be true
And I just want my life to be true
And I just want my song to be true
And I just want my life to be true
I want my soul to feel brand new
I want my soul to feel brand new
