[Verse 1]
Hmm, smoky walls, dusty halls, no one calls
And all the window plants are dying
She'd talk it up, half empty cup, half-hearted love
Half of the time halfway through crying
She don't live here by herself
Sleeping in the bed she's made
Reading books about self help
Working late on Saturdays
'Less she got something at stake, oh
[Verse 2]
For heaven's sake, keep him awake, make no mistake
He break down daily with no warning
20 years old, do as you're told, get bought and sold
Its cold this early in the morning
And he's living on Tenth Street
Getting home right around dawn
Every night of every week
Proving everybody wrong
Any day now, it won't be long
Listen when I say
[Chorus]
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
[Vocalizing]
[Verse 3]
I've been holding my own, my rag and bone, lock up alone
I don't forget to double check it, now, no no no no...
And I learned to rely on me and I, straighten my tie
Lace my own boots zip my jacket
Because I did the best I could
I got taken down again
I got fire in my blood
And I got sugar on my skin
I got no where to begin, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Give 'em all what they came here for
Never been done the same before
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
[Vocalizing]
[Bridge]
Listen, you get what you put in
So you cannot get upset
If you're just dipping your foot in
'Cause you don't wanna get wet
And you ain't made it big yet
[Chorus]
Give 'em all what they came here for
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
Give 'em all what they came here for
Talk it up 'til your face gets sore
Don't you stop it now, c'mon and
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
Don't you stop it now, woah
Talk, talk, talk, talk...
Don't you stop it now, c'mon
Half a mile and we'll see the shore
Captain, how can you be so sure?
Talking up what I came here for
