Ray Lamontagne - Supernova Album Lyrics

Lavender

We lie, under a lavender sky
Under a lavender sky we lie
Do you, do you remember the day?
Do you remember when we felt that way?

Free to play, as a child we ran
Through fields of clover
Underneath the sun

Back there, both of us without a care
Leaves of many colors blown through the air

Free to play, as a child we ran
Through fields of clover
Reaching for the sun

I'll count twenty-five
(No fair, cover your eyes!)
Go on, run and hide
(You'll never find me!)

We lie, under a lavender sky
Under a lavender sky we lie
Do you, do you remember the day?
Do you remember when we felt that way?

Free to play, running circles round
the place we found
that no one ever knew

I'll count twenty-five
(No fair, cover your eyes!)
Go on, run and hide
(You'll never find me!)

Airwaves

Where're you going Rusty James?
To rumble on miles and change
What you doing Patty Sue?
She says "whatcha thinking?"

I'm coming with you
I'm coming with you

Rolling out of east L.A.
Making our way to Santa Fe
Man, sure do look pretty, she said
Feels so good to get myself out of the city

Through the airwaves
Can't you feel the fall out?
It's in the airwaves
Can't you hear me calling out?

(Help me, help me, jump and shout)
(Help me, help me, jump and shout)
(Help me, help me, jump and shout)
(Help me, help me, jump and shout)

Sitting on Landis Hill
Staring out at Beverly Hills
Everybody moving so fast
Makes you feel like you're already part of the past

Through the airwaves
Can't you feel the fall out?
It's in the airwaves
Can't you hear me calling out?

(Help me, help me, jump and shout)
(Help me, help me, jump and shout)
(Help me, help me, jump and shout)

Where're you going Rusty James?
So rumble on miles and change
What you doing Betty Sue?
She says "whatcha thinking?"

I'm coming with you
I'm coming with you
I'm coming with you

(Help me, help me, jump and shout)

She's The One

I never felt like I had anybody
that I could really talk to
I never felt like I met anybody
that I would even want to
To try and get to know any better
But that was before I met her

She's the One!
Oh....She is the One!

I wish somebody could tell me what's goin
on inside of my head
I got to find a doctor to figure out
what's goin on in my head
He said 'Son can you tell me where it hurts'
This is all that I said

She's the One!
Oh....She is the One!
I just got to get to know that Girl!
I just got to get to know that Girl!

It's almost more than I can take I think I'm
about to lose my cool-ah
I can barely hold a conversation,
my friends are beginning to wonder
I can't even walk down the street without my
feet falling out from under

She's the One!
Oh....She is the One!
I just got to get to know that Girl!
I just got to get to know that Girl!

Pick Up A Gun

Walk through the field
Sat in a tree
I love you
You don't love me

Pick up a gun
Shoot the TV
I want you
You don't want me

That's Ok, I don't give a damn

Stood on a hill
Only to scream
I knew you
You never knew me

That's ok, nothings for free
I never want to see your face again

Got in my car
Drove down the street
I miss you
You don't miss me

Back in my room
Alone in the dark
Can't find you
I can't find me

That's ok, I can't feel a thing
That's ok, I can't feel a thing
I never want to see your face again
I never want to see your face again

Julia

Julia, were so glad you found the time
(We're so glad you found the time, cause it ain't easy)
Julia, Its so good you're of the mind
(It's so good you're of the mind to come and see me)

Sunday's In the park
She stays after dark
Light plays through silent trees
She stays, she stays with me

Julia, she's no ordinary color
(Not quite blue in hue, nor grey, but something other)
Julia, is it green in Aberdeen?
(Yes, its really quite serene there in the summer)

She stays, after dark
We gaze, at the stars
Light plays through silent streets
She says, says to me

"I can see, we were meant to be together you and me,
spending all our lives together"

Julia

No Other Way

I will bring you Starlight by the barrow
I will bring you Roses by the score

There's no other way
There's no other way
There's no other way

Meet me in the Twilight by the seaside
Meet me underneath the Willow's fall

There's no other way
There's no other way
There's no other way

(I can see through you can see through me)

I'm all black and white like empty paper
Waiting for you to color me in

There's no other way
There's no other way
There's no other way

Supernova

Zoe you and me we've been hanging out now
Ever since we were kids, just kicking around this town
Zoe you know me and I don't back down
I know what I want, and I think I've found it

I want you to be my girl
I want you to be my girl
Zoe, you're so supernova
Zoe, you're so supernova (super)

Zoe you know me and I'm on the right track
Gonna get out of here, and never come back
Zoe you know me when I'm on the attack
Ain't no use in fighting back

I want you to be my girl
I want you to be my girl
Zoe, you're so supernova
Zoe, you're so supernova (super)
Supernova
Supernova

When I'm low, well I know who to call
When I think I'm bout to hit the wall
Zoe, baby, I know that you would never, never let me fall
Every time I turn around baby there you are
Just shining down on me like a blazing star
Yeah, that's what you are
You're a blazing star
That's what you are
That's what you are
That's what, what, what, what

Zoe, you're so supernova
Zoe, you're so supernova (super)

Zoe you and me we've been hanging out now
Ever since we were kids, just kicking around this town
Zoe you know me and I don't back down
I know what I want, and I think I've found it

I want you to be my girl
I want you to be my girl
Zoe, you're so supernova
Zoe, you're so supernova
Zoe, you're so supernova
Zoe, you're so supernova (super)
Supernova
Supernova

Ojai

I've been a Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger
Stung by anger, burned by law
Feel so Scattered, like nothing really matters anymore,
Put that sign out, on my front door

Hitchin a ride on the PCH
I got some things I need to say
Callin' out a friend of mine

I don't know where the years have gone,
Just know I'm worse for hangin' on
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

I knew a good man, he was a break in the Clouds,
hangin' so low down
It's got me to thinking, it's not like he gave in,
He just never got that second win

Hitchin a ride on the PCH
I got some things I need to say
Callin' out a friend of mine

I don't know where the years have gone,
Just know I'm worse for hangin' on
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

Ojai-Ojai

I've been a Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger
Son, hedge your wager, cause life aint fair
I been shaken, sorely mistaken, this path I've taken
Aint goin nowhere

Hitchin a ride on the PCH
I got some things I need to say
Callin' out a friend of mine

I don't know where the years have gone,
Just know I'm worse for hangin' on
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

Smashing

Listen to the sound of the seaside crashing
Cloak on a hook in the hallway
Smashing red and yellow Teacups
Tripping over clover
"Have another pull" cries the Piping Plover

I'll be the one who stays
I'll be the one who stays

Sitting in the cool of the shadows under
Can you hear the laughter of the River Daughter?
Under water fish are flashing
In the sky a thunder crashing

I'll be the one who stays
I'll be the one who says:

"I look at you and I don't know who I am"
"I look at you, I see my life as a sham"
"Am I just a con-man?"
(I fooled you once...and I can do it again...)

I'll be the one who stays
I'll be the one who says:

"You should be here with me now"

Looking through the glass
as the Moon rolls over Church and Steeple, Hill and Harbor
Do you ever wonder what it is inside us?
Do you ever wonder where it is inside us?

I'll be the one who stays
I'll be the one who says:

"I look at you and I don't know who I am"
"I look at you, I see my life as a sham"
"Am I just a con-man?"
(I fooled you once...and I can do it again...)

I'll be the one who stays
I'll be the one who says:

"You should be here with me now"

Drive-In Movies

I spent all my childhood years wishin' that I looked like a Movie-Star
A cigarette behind my ear, leanin' up against a muscle car

Wanna know all the things that I shouldn't know
I got smokes that I stole from the Seven-L
Everybody's at the Drive-In, wanna go?

I wanna be the guy who doesn't like to fight, but who could kick your ass if you
touch his girl
I wanna be the guy who breaks all the rules, but the cops let him off cause they
think he's cool

Wanna know all the things that I shouldn't know
I got smokes that I stole from the Seven-L
Everybody's at the Drive-In, wanna go?

Drive-In Movies
Drive-In Movies

Grew up fast in that Nebraska town, nothin' goin on and even less to do
Mom's at work, and Dad's never around, so me and the guys we're skippin' school

Wanna know all the things that we shouldn't know
We got smokes that we stole from the Seven-L
Everybody's at the Drive-In, wanna go?

Drive-in Movies
Drive-in Movies

I wanna be Brando in the Wild One
I wanna be somethin' to someone
Cause nothin' ever happens in this Town,
The same old crew, hangin' around
Jus' waitin for some shit to go down
But we love our Drive-in Movies

Now I'm grown, kids of my own, I never thought I could be a Dad
Me and my girl, we're goin' strong, still the best friend that I ever had

Now I know all the things that I didn't know
I got smokes, but I buy em' now, I guess I'm old
Drive-in's just an empty lot that no one mows

I miss those Drive-in Movies
I spent all my childhood years, wishin' that I looked like a Movie-Star
