Evolution (Deluxe) Album Lyrics by Sheryl Crow

Alarm Clock

Penthouse, Saturday, guy who looks like Chalamet
Handing me a skinny margarita with a salt rim
Top down, bring it 'round, mirror shades, look at me now
Sunset in the rearview on the PCH, I'm all in

It's a beautiful life
Blow your mind and make you say "Ah"
When I open my eyes
Baby, that's when the dreams stop

That's why I hate my, that's why I hate my
That's why I hate my alarm clock
That's why I hate my, that's why I hate my
That's why I hate my alarm clock

Rolling 'round a bed of cash, office calls, don't call 'em back
No, I ain't got time for that, loading up my G4
Catch me down in St. Tropez, just another average day
Paparazzi caught me making love on a surfboard

It's a beautiful life
Blow your mind and make you say "Ah"
When I open my eyes
Baby, that's when the dreams stop

That's why I hate my, that's why I hate my
That's why I hate my alarm clock
That's why I hate my, that's why I hate my
That's why I hate my alarm clock

Lost my job and lost my keys
Got me beggin' please
Put this day out of its misery
'Cause when I finally fall asleep

It's a beautiful life
Blow your mind and make you say "Ah"
When I open my eyes
Baby, that's when the dreams stop

That's why I hate my, that's why I hate my
That's why I hate my alarm clock
That's why I hate my, that's why I hate my
That's why I hate my alarm clock
That's why I hate my alarm clock
That's why I hate my alarm clock

Digging in the Dirt

(feat. and originally by Peter Gabriel)

Something in me, dark and sticky
All the time it's getting strong
No way of dealing with this feeling
Can't go on like this too long

This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you

Don't talk back
Just drive the car
Shut your mouth
I know what you are
Don't say nothing
Keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around
This is for real

I'm digging in the dirt
Stay with me, I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt

The more I look, the more I find
As I close on in, I get so blind
I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes
I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes

This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you

Don't talk back
Just drive the car
Shut your mouth
I know what you are
Don't say nothing
Keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around
This is for real

I'm digging in the dirt
Stay with me I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt

Digging in the dirt
Stay with me I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places I got hurt
To open up the places I got hurt
I got hurt

Digging in the dirt (I got hurt)
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt (I got hurt)
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt (I got hurt)
To find the places we got hurt
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt

Do It Again

Well, I've read some Eckhart Tolle
And Deepak Chopra, too
They say when you go pointing fingers
You get three pointing back at you

Well, I took a walk with Jesus
I brought along Buddha, too
You know, everyone is welcome here
On this bus to Timbuktu

All I know
Is wherever I go, there I am
All I know
Is I'm doing the best that I can
There's so much I don't know
So I learn to let go
Let go and let love in
Every day, I get up and I do it again
Every day, I get up and I do it again

Everyone is searching
For a little piece of mind
So I brought along some mushrooms
And I sat with the divine

And then we crossed the bridge to nowhere
And we saw the other side
Well, there is no us, there is no them
Baby, it's all in your mind

All I know
Is wherever I go, there I am
All I know
Is I'm doing the best that I can
There's so much I don't know
So I learn to let go
Let go and let love in
Every day, I get up and I do it again
Every day, I get up and I do it again

Well, I've been down to the river
I washed away my sins
Well, every day's a nice, clean slate
For me to f*ck it up again
Yeah, I'll probably f*ck it up again

All I know
Is wherever I go, there I am
All I know
Is I'm doing the best that I can
There's so much I don't know
So I learn to let go
Let go and let love in
Every day, I get up and I do it again
Every day, I let go and I let love in
Every day, I let go and I let love in

Love life

When we were young, we'd sip strawberry wine
Me and my friend would cross the Tennessee line
Fake IDs and some neon lights
Get us out on the floor and we'd dance all night
I remember thinking I don't want this to end
Living for the day when we'd do it again, sing it now

I love this life
Don't wanna let this moment slip away
I love this life
Baby, we'll be talking 'bout right now someday, yeah
Yeah

I went to school, then I moved away
My friend stayed home, she works two jobs a day
To feed her kids, she got bills to pay
But the jobs move out and the troubles stay
Now when we get together, we still raise up a glass
Ask her how she does it and she starts to laugh, sing it now

I love this life
I'm not gonna let a moment slip away
I love this life
Baby, we'll be talking 'bout right now someday, yeah

All we have is where we are
Where we are is all we have
That's why we gotta make it last
Let me hear you sing it, baby

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

You Can't Change The Weather

I remember what it's like to feel forgotten
So many faces in a crowd
Well, it's hard to find the sunshine staring at the bottom
Well, I've been there, so I'll say these words out loud

Oh, you can't change the weather
And you can't stop the rain
You and me together
Honey, we can find a way to stop the pain
Stop the pain

And you could add up all the tears that fill a river
Or trace the words that break a heart
But you'd miss the blue jay and the message he delivers
Every moment has a brand-new start

Oh, you can't change the weather
And you can't stop the rain
And you and me together
Honey, we can find a way to stop the pain
Stop the pain

You are never, ever, ever
Never, ever, ever, alone
Never alone
You are never, ever, ever
Never, ever, ever, alone
Never alone
You are never, ever, ever
Never, ever, ever, alone
You are never, ever, ever
Never, ever, ever, alone

There is a story being written in the cosmos
A tale of love that shines so bright
Well, you're just a child until the moment you remember
Only you can write the story of your life

Oh, you can't change the weather (change the weather)
You can't stop the rain (stop the rain)
You and me together (me together)
Honey, we can find a way to stop the pain (stop the pain)

Oh, you can't change the weather (change the weather)
And you can't stop the rain (stop the rain)
I need you to feel my love forever (love forever)
Oh, we can find a way to break the chain (you are never, ever, ever)
(Never, ever, ever, alone)
Break the chain

Evolution

Turned on the radio and there it was
A song that sounded like something I wrote
The voice and melody were hauntingly
So familiar that I thought it was a joke

Is it beyond intelligence
As if the soul need not exist

Evolution ever-changing
Lost in space and time
Maybe there's a grand solution
Somewhere we will find
Deep in the heart of humankind

I held my baby as the sun came up
And I watched him as he opened up his eyes
What will I tell him when he's old enough
To want the answers to all the questions why?

Yes, we are brilliant, we are kind
But sometimes we miss the glaring signs

Evolution ever-changing
Lost in space and time
Maybe there's a grand solution
Somewhere we will find
Deep in the heart of humankind

We can create, we can destroy
We can feel pain, we can feel joy
We can plant seeds and watch love grow
We can feel love 'cause it's written in the humankind

Where are we headed in this paradise?
We are passengers and there's no one at the wheel
No matter how well you can outdo me
There is one thing you will never do and it's feel

Evolution ever-changing
Lost in space and time
Maybe there's a grand solution
Somewhere we will find

Evolution ever-changing
Lost in space and time
Maybe there's a grand solution
Somewhere we will find

Where?

(Two, three, four)

Waters rise up on the freeway
While little hands are clapping in the snow
And in the tree, there lives a blackbird
Singing songs not meant for anyone below

Where goes the wave when it hits the shore?
What thinks the particle as it's rushing to the core?

We will keep dancing through tomorrow
Like lovers spinning in the air
Oh, where? Where?
Where can we be free
If to be free means learning not to care?
Mm, mm

And all the prisoners in their prisons
Dream beyond the bars they cannot see
Only the feel of being captured
Is keeping them contented in captivity

Where goes the wave when it hits the shore?
What thinks the particle as it's rushing to the core?

We will keep dancing through tomorrow
Like lovers spinning in the air
Oh, where? Where?
Where can we be free
If to be free means learning not to care?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Who will we be when we are older
And the earth is spinning faster on its side?
Will you still read the constellations
And hope that all you know is somehow trapped in time?

Where goes the wave when it hits the shore?
What thinks the particle as it's rushing to the core?

We will keep dancing through tomorrow
Like lovers spinning in the air
Oh, where? Where?
Where can we be free
If to be free means learning not to care?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Mm, mm-mm-mm

Don't Walk Away

I do a thousand little things
To keep from wondering where you are
But still mouth the words, "I love you"
As you drive off in your car
How'd we get from here to there?
I don't know where we're at
All I know is neither one of us
Is the other's better half

Well, I'm swimming in this thing that we call "us"
And I've lost the part of me that you once loved

Seems like no one stays together anymore
It's just too easy to walk out an open door
But I believe that we can make it if we both stay
So please don't walk away

I sit in someone's office couch
And I'll force myself to talk
She'll listen to us litigate
While she keeps one eye on the clock
You'll give a thousand reasons why
You don't think that this can work
All I know is how I feel
Somewhere between my love and hurt

She'll say, "Sometimes love's a work in progress
It's the uncertainty that is the very hardest"

This seems like no one stays together anymore
It's just too easy to walk out an open door
But I believe that we can make it if we both stay
So please don't walk away

Well, I never asked you for forever
I just want you here with me right now

It seems like no one stays together anymore
It's just too easy to walk out an open door
Well, I believe that we can make it if we both stay
So please don't walk away

So please don't walk away
Please don't walk away

Broken Record

I get tired of hearing myself say
"It's not that hard to be nice"
And I can't see why you get off being
An asshole most of the time

I think kind is really cool
When you're a jerk, you only look like a tool

Sometimes I feel
Like a broken record
Sometimes I feel
Like a broken record
Like a broken record

Anger sucks, but at least your brand's trending
Dude, you must get tired
Well, we were buds, but now I'm unfriending
That's not how I'm wired

You say I'm too sensitive
You call me names, well, let this woke ass live

Sometimes I feel
Like a broken record
Sometimes I feel
Like a broken record
Like a broken record

My mom says, "If you can't say something nice (something nice)
Here comes the soap, open your mouth up wide"

You're always right, and I'm always wrong
You'll hate me more when you hear this song

Sometimes I feel
Like a broken record
Sometimes I feel
Like a broken record
Like a broken record
Like a broken record

Love wins
Yeah, love wins
Yeah, love wins

Waiting In The Wings

Some days, you wanna keep the shades pulled down
And some days, it feels like you're swallowed up by those clouds
Sometimes, you think the sky is falling and it feels that way right now
Yeah, I know it can be hard living
I'll take the world off your shoulders for a minute

I'll be ten-thousand voices
Drowning out the sounds
I'm that round of applause when no one is around
And when the lights go down
And it's your time to shine
I won't miss a thing
I'll be waiting in the wings

Life speeds by while you worry about the things you miss
Small people gonna make you think you dream too big
You say you wanna change the world
Don't let the world change your heart and soul
I know that it can be hard living
A lot of letting go and forgiving

I'll be ten-thousand voices
Drowning out the sounds
I'm that round of applause when no one is around
And when the lights go down
And it's your time to shine
I won't miss a thing
I'll be waiting in the wings
Ooh, ooh
I'll be waiting in the wings
Ooh, ooh

And it might be hard for a minute
But I swear, as long as I'm living

I'll be ten-thousand voices
Drowning out the sounds
I'm that round of applause when no one is around
And when the lights go down
And it's your time to shine
I won't miss a thing
I'll be waiting in the wings
Ooh, ooh
I'll be waiting in the wings

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
