Hootie and the Blowfish - Fairweather Johnson Lyrics

Be The One 
I wonder 
Why are we involved 
With the seasons 
And the living of our own 
Let me see if nothing's wrong 
I just want to be the one 
(She) wanted 
You still give her all our lives 
Let her be son 
Who is she buying 
See her crawl 
I’ll just make it out 
(We don’t see it bleeding) 
I want to die with you 
(Something no ones needing) 
I left the other day 
But you’re never here 
You only listen to things you want to save 
But the power it’s ok with you 
You knew I’d find something else to do 
Let me be the one 
(we don’t see it bleeding) 
I wanna fly, I wanna die with you 
Something no ones 
See it’s not like they 
Are gonna take my faith away 
Let me in it’s ok now 
Close the door 
Is it really needing 
When you find a place 
That’s only yours 
Just go he beams 
Well I’ve died for good now 
Let me feel it 
Let her come---let her run---let her run 
(Now) 
Let me be the one 
(We don’t see it bleeding) 
I can’t feel it, I can’t see it 
(Something no ones needing) 
I feel dumb

Old Man & Me 
Well an old man said to me 
In a voice filled with pain 
Where you going young man 
Said I’m going to fight a war 
Gonna fight for my country 
In some foreign land 
He said "The sun will never hurt you 
Never harmed anyone 
But you must realize" 
If you try to stare her down 
She will win in the end 
She will burn your eyes 
She will burn them 
Seen a million places 
Seen a million faces die 
And I wonder who will walk with me 
When I get to Heaven 
He said "Boy I was young once 
Yeah I was tough 
Sailing on Uncle Sam’s boat 
Hey I could kill the enemy 
I could die on foreign streets 
But I could not vote 
But now you walk by me 
You won’t talk to me 
Say this is my fate 
But every time you walk the streets boy 
Most of them you meet 
You see it’s you they hate 
It’s you... 
Seen a million faces 
Seen a million places die 
And I wonder who will walk with me 
When I get to Heaven 
I hope I get there 
Seen a million places 
Seen a million faces die 
And I wonder who will walk with me 
When I get there 
See this woman sitting next to me 
She’s been there for a long, long time 
And when I fell, she picked me up 
When I cried, she wiped my tears 
I thank god she’s mine 
And when I leave this world 
She won’t have anything 
But her love for me 
‘Cause the man took everything else 
Made me hate myself 
So just let her be boy 
Won’t you let her be 

The Earth Stopped Cold At Dawn 
Another reason to doubt me 
Another teardrop falls 
Can’t wait for a friend when loneliness calls 
Another kiss in the basement 
Pour salt on my tongue 
No one cries for heros left unsung 
Look at me when I’m talking to you 
Look at me in the eyes 
Then look away and tell me why...why 
Another tasteless movie 
Another kiss goodnight 
Could be a dark oasis in my life 
Another icon smashed to pieces 
By yesterday’s romance 
Another hated person no more chances 
Look at me when I’m talking to you 
Look at me in the eyes 
Then look away and tell me why...why 
Playin’ with a happy boy 
A cold place for a man 
Familiar faces in a foreign land 
The hands kept spinning around the face 
But the earth stopped cold at dawn 
For a moment, then moved on 
For a moment, then moved on... 

Honeyscrew 
Fly inside 
Feel me dealing 
Holding on to a story just told 
About a man who’s the life of a funeral 
Grabbing on to a woman who’s soul 
He just stole for a dream he don’t believe in 
Now she sits and she yells for a smile 
"Don’t let the sun make me feel lonely" 
Oh let me in let me in let me in 
Is it me 
Or is it honey 
We all seem to hold 
To Something we don’t see 
Is He here 
Is He there 
Where does He live 
Some people say in the pull of a heartbeat 
Some people say in the mind of a stranger 
I can’t explain what it is I believe in 
So take your heart take your mind and escape 
Is it me 
Or is it honey 
Is it me 
Or is it honey 
Is it me trying to raise your little children 
Is it me trying to take your little flame 
Why are you trying to steal my judgement day away 
Let me scream let me scream let me scream 
Don’t take it away 
Another day in the arms of the real thing 
Another day in the eyes of a fool 
I called today just to make me feel hopeless 
Lie to me and I’ll try to believe 

Let It Breathe 
Could we do it again 
If he asked how it felt 
And I didn’t say this time 
You tried to scare me with empty thoughts 
That means not a thing 
‘Cause I’m down behind you 
Could we swing it again 
If I changed how he looked 
And turned to the right to bend 
You live with something that I can’t explain 
But your face cracks a smile when you see it shining 
You feel things in your own way 
And I’m supposed to lay down and bow to you 
I’m tired of bailing hay for something that I can’t see 
I don’t want to be you 
You don't want to be me. 
Just let it breathe 
If the moon goes up tomorrow and I’m down on a farm 
And you don’t believe whose writing with me 
Keep your hands to yourself 
Keep your mind to yourself 
Keep your breath to yourself 
Let me float on by you 
You see things in your own way 
And I’m supposed to lay down and bow to you 
I’m tired of bailing hay for something that I can’t see 
You don’t want to be me 
I don’t want to be you 
It’s so very necessary 
It’s so delectable to see a stone 
It’s so impossible to find a reason 
When you’re standing there 
Watching me now 
Could we live it again 
If we dressed just the same 
And held on to lovers when 
We couldn’t really live with anyone 
See mostly ourselves so just go on lying 
You feel things in your own way 
And I’m supposed to lay down and bow to you 
I’m tired of bailing hay for someone that I can’t see 
I don’t want to be you 
You don’t want to be me 
Just let it breathe 
Let it breathe 

Silly Little Pop Song 
One thing’s for sure 
I just can’t find the way 
To let it seem like all is wrong 
Inside my den 
Hold back 
Breathe easy 
She said to me 
Go somewhere and change your mind 
Just let me sleep 
I’ve been living in a lesson 
Please just come inside and listen 
Is it anger at life 
Or are you happy to be with me 
Are you seeing someone 
Or will your faith 
Go with no other man 
Come on 
Let me dream 
I’ve been living in a lesson 
Please just come inside and listen 
No need to worry ‘bout all the lying 
Please just come inside 
It’s a thing 
To make me want to go 
See another 
That makes me doubt 
I’ve been living in a lesson 
Please just come inside and listen 
No need to worry about all the lyin’ 
All the changing 
Please just come inside 

Fool 
Saw you last night 
you were sleeping in my mind 
Doubting you’ll ever be free again 
Then I climbed back inside 
Someone open my eyes 
To find me drunk again 
Bonnie on the radio 
And she was singing low "Give it up or let me go" 
Every night there is one more 
Every night there is two more 
Saying I shouldn’t be feeling this pain 
I think I better grow up now or go insane 
There’s so much I feel 
So much I conceal 
There’s just so many things I can be 
Someone write the story of 5 points 
No one wanted to know me 
Now they all have opinions of what we do 
So they go down to Bar None so we can have a drink or two 
Can’t write a story from the trees 
I know somewhere she’s watching me 
Saying "Boy carry your load" 
Oh I don’t want to go back on the road now 
There’s so much I feel 
So much I conceal 
There’s just so many places to see 
And faces I can read 
There’s just so many things I can be 

When I’m Lonely 
Eyes like an infant 
Staring me down 
She'll take anything that’s tied up 
In my glorious past 
It’s just 4 days ‘til Sunday 
When I say that I’m gone 
Little one screams you cry 
Tell the pain to leave me alone 
It’s just 2 days ‘til Monday 
Another week ‘til the 4th 
Is anyone listening or 
Should I call on the Lord 
Sometimes I breathe 
Sometimes I see 
Then I dream a dream that won’t come true 
And I struggle with lies when I’m lonely 
Someone called my name out loud about 4 a.m. 
It wasn’t you so I let her in 
Just to see what she wanted 
She left screaming because I called her by your name 
But the next day she came to call 
And we finished our game 
Alright now 
Some days I breathe 
Some days I see 
Then I dream a dream that won’t come true 
And I struggle with time when I’m lonely 
Shep plays piano down in 
Shandon on the other side of Rosewood 
You said he wasn’t your type 
But you went anyway 
You left screamin’ cause you thought you would 
Call him by my name 
Ah and you whisper 
Why do I do this 
I can’t go through this why do I do this, why 
Sometimes I breathe 
Sometimes I see 
Then I dream a dream that won’t come true 
And I struggle with life when I’m lonely 

She Crawls Away 
I fall in she sees me and smiles 
Then she starts to hate herself again 
She screams something under her breath 
That I wouldn’t know if she said it outloud 
She turns over to start a conversation 
With a man that noone else can see 
She dreams of loving me sometimes 
And it makes me see what we’ve been missing 
It’s like I never knew anyone so strong before 
She Brings the man outa me 
And she makes me see that they don’t matter 
I believe 
We see her playin’ with another 
She runs around you and then 
It’s like the sun goes down and she crawls away again 
She wears white pants a Miami sweater 
Says that She loves the O’s 
So Uncle Dean will come by 
Her smile is like sunshine 
Her tears hurt like leather 
She runs the show she lets me know 
Says it’s all about being the only 
It’s like someone said you could have one good thing in your life 
She couldn’t be your type 
I didn’t plan for your smile, but you make me laugh when you stand dreamin’ 
I believe, we see her layin with another 
She runs around you and then 
It’s like the sun goes down and she crawls away again 
Where were you yesterday 
Now that my heart is wild and free 
And my lips have room to wander 
How can I say your needing me now 
When I’ve got a plan 
I know you don’t understand why my heart is sorry know 
I believe 
We see her laying with another 
She runs around you and then 
it’s like the sun goes down and she crawls 
I believe 
We see her waiting with another 
She runs around you and then 
it’s like the sun goes down and she crawls away again 

So Strange 
It’s so hard to breathe right now 
Living things without a friend of mine 
Air just filling every bit, of every end, of every mind 
You thought you could feel 
And it’s maybe 6 a.m. 
And no one wants to be with me 
So I’m calling out to someone and something that I don’t know so well 
Ohh, I’m free 
If I can’t find the warmth in my summer 
And I can’t find the light in my day 
I just look to my friends and we’ll see our troubles away 
You make me feel so strange 
Won’t you let me breathe the air 
I want to hold on to right now 
Won’t you let me read a book about 
Someone’s queen who came back for me 
I see bridges in my eyes 
I see mornings left for the children 
I see people holding back, trying to find another reason so they can walk away 
And it makes me scream and I pray 
If you can’t find the warmth in my summer 
And I can’t find the light in my day 
I just look to my friends and I’ll see our troubles away 
You make me feel so 
It can never end ‘cause we don’t speak 
It will never just die 
So why don’t you call the man 
And, tell him to come over here and just clean up my pride 
If you can’t find the warmth in my summer 
And I can’t find the light in my day 
I just look to my friend and we’ll see our little troubles away 
You make me feel so strange 
If you can’t find the warmth in my summer 
And I can’t find the light in my day 
I just look to my friend and we’ll see our troubles away 

Tootie 
You put a rose in my hand 
Put a dollar in my pocket 
But you don’t understand 
How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night 
I see the morning but you won’t see the light 
I thought about you for a long, long time 
I wrote about you but my words don’t seem to rhyme 
And now you’re lying here 
But my heart still beats for you 
Had a dream about you 
You sat right down beside me 
And you told me we were through 
It was all so real and you told me reasons why 
You brought me to the window 
And you taught me how to fly 
I thought about you for a long, long time 
I said I love you but we just don’t have the time 
And now you’re lying here 
But my heart still beats for you 
I thought to hold you for a long, long time 
You said I love you but my heart won’t seem to chime in 
And now you’re lying here 
And my heart still beats for you...I’m trying, and my heart still beats for you 

The Sad Caper 
I know she said 
Before you left me you were free 
So I’ll just lay me down 
Control has left me 
And I can’t feel another thing 
So let me turn around 
Do you really want to play these games 
Just to keep things going 
Or are you ready now to let it be 
It’s like sometimes you want to see the rain 
But the sun gets in your eyes 
And you want to die now 
Control has left me 
And I can’t feel another thing 
So let me turn around 
I see I see 
But things just couldn’t be the same 
So let me hold you down 
Never let me down I swore to you 
But now I lied 
I’m here to make it all seem worth while 
You want I know 
But I’ll have to try 
To find a way to make me quiet now 
Control has left me 
And I can’t feel another thing, so let me turn around 
I see I see 
But things just couldn’t be the same 
So won’t you hunt her down 
I know she said 
Before you left me you were free 
So I’ll just lay me down 

Tucker’s Town 
Staring back at you 
Did you see my lips 
Or were you smiling right in front of me 
Your father called my name 
Then he smiled with great relief 
‘Cause it wasn’t me that you were clinging to 
He made you turn around 
You do that thing you do 
And then you laughed with me 
I don’t know 
What I can’t see 
I don’t know but I’m makin’ time to call 
I don’t know 
What I can’t see 
I don’t know but she’s watching me leave 
Just wish they’d turn around 
Just wish they’d try to see 
But they don’t understand and that’s alright with me I’m leaving now 
Going down to Tucker’s Town 
Where I can lie for free 
Nobody stares at me and I’d love to hurt the population 
She called last night 
I said I’m about to leave 
Then I heard him scream, "I’ll pack your bags" 
I don’t know 
What I can’t see 
I don’t know but I’m makin’ time to call 
I don’t know 
What I can’t see 
I don’t know but I’m leaving here 
To see the world through your Rosy glasses 
I’ll teach you to fly but they teach greed 
We live the belt but I can bleed 
I don’t know 
What I can’t see
I don’t know 
What I can’t see
