Flowers In Your Hair Lyrics By The Lumineers

When we were younger we thought
Everyone was on our side
Then we grew a little bit
And romanticized the time I saw
Flowers in your hair
It takes a boy to live
It takes a man to pretend he was there

So then we grew a little and knew a lot
And now we demonstrated it to the cops
And all the things we said
We were self-assured

Cause it’s a long road to wisdom
But it’s a short one
To being ignored

Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes ai yai yai
And be in my heart

So now I think that I could
Love you back
And I hope it’s not too late cause you’re so attractive
And the way you move
I won’t close my eyes
It takes a man to live
It takes a woman to make him compromise

Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes ai yai yai
And be in my heart

Classy Girls Lyrics By The Lumineers

Well she was standing in the bar
I said, “Hello, how do you do?”
She handed me a beer with a kangaroo.

She spoke of places I had never been
That she had traveled to
And we slowed danced along to faster tunes

I made her laugh, I made a pass, I showed her my half dollar ring
She said, “That’s pretty cool,
But classy girls don’t kiss in bars, you fool”

So later on the crowd calmed down
And I believe it was as if
Something drew me closer to her lips

So picture my surprise when I had tried to lean in for a kiss
And she just smiled and turned her head down

I asked her, “Why?” and she replied,
“It was nothing I was doing nothing wrong, its just what it is”
Oh, classy girls don’t kiss in bars like this

No, classy girls don’t kiss in bars
Boys will break their backs and hearts
But its alright, the hardest part is through

Submarines Lyrics By The Lumineers

I believe submarines
Underneath deep blue seas
Saw the flags: Japanese
No one will believe me

Ran back to the town bar
And I told the people how
I had seen the submarine
And everyone laughed aloud

I did spy periscopes
Dead of night on the eastern coast
The police made them jokes
Told me I’d seen a ghost

Everyone thinks I’m a liar
No one knows the truth
If it was a bigger fire
I would be on the roof

Ships will rust in Baldwin Bay
(Let me go!)
No one trusts what I say
(I don’t know!)
Oh my God, no one paid
(Attention!)
Overnight my hair turned gray
(Oh oh oh!)

In the end it boils down to credibility
I had none, so I will die with the secrets of the sea

(Submarine! Can’t find me! Submarine!)

Submarine…

(Submarine!)

Dead Sea Lyrics By The Lumineers

I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
With open doors and manual locks
In fast food parking lots

I headed West, I was a man on the move
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust
I don’t gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You’ll never sink when you are with me
Oh, Lord, like the Dead Sea

Whoa, I’m like the Dead Sea
[Album version:] The nicest words you ever said to me
[Video version:] The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can’t you see,
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

You told me you were good at running away
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your back
You took the rest when you took the map

Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Your father died and you decided to live
It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time
And I’m glad, cause you with cats, that’s just not right

Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You’ll never sink when you are with me
Oh, Lord, I’m your Dead Sea

Whoa, I’m like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can’t you see
I was born to be, be your dead sea

I’ve been down, I’ve been defeated
You’re the message I was heeding
Would you stay,
Would you stay the night?

Dead Sea,
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
I never sink when you are with me
Oh, Lord, I’m your Dead Sea

Whoa, I’m like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can’t you see
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

Ho Hey Lyrics By The Lumineers

(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)

(Ho!) I’ve been trying to do it right
(Hey!) I’ve been living a lonely life
(Ho!) I’ve been sleeping here instead
(Hey!)I’ve been sleeping in my bed,
(Ho!) I’ve been sleeping in my bed (Hey!)

(Ho!)

(Ho!) So show me family
(Hey!) All the blood that I would bleed
(Ho!) I don’t know where I belong
(Hey!) I don’t know where I went wrong
(Ho!) But I can write a song (Hey!)

1,2,3 I belong with you, you belong with me, you’re my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you’re my sweet (Ho!)

(hey!)
(ho!)
(hey!)

(ho!) I don’t think you’re right for him
(hey!) Look at what it might have been if you
(ho!) Took the bus to China Town
(hey!) I’d be standing on Canal
(ho!) And Bowery (hey!)
(ho!) And she’d be standing next to me (hey!)

1,2,3 I belong with you, you belong with me, you’re my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you’re my sweetheart

And love, we need it now
Let’s hope for some
Cause oh, we’re bleeding out

I belong with you, you belong with me, you’re my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you’re my sweet (Ho!)

(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)

Slow It Down Lyrics By The Lumineers

I feel her filth in my bones
Wash off my hands til it’s gone
The walls they’re closing in
With velvet curtains

Some love was made for the light
Some kiss your cheek and goodnight
Lift up a red high heel
Lock up your doors with steel

They’re makin noise in my street
My blinds are drawn i can’t see
Smashed in my car window
Didn’t touch the stereo

Slow it down, Angie come back to bed
Rest your arms, and rest your legs

Act like you’ve been here before
Smile less and dress up some more
Tie up your scarf real tight
These boys are out for blood tonight

Slow it down, Angie come back to bed
Rest your arms, and rest your legs

And when she stood she stood tall
She’ll make a fool of you all
Don’t ask for cigarettes
She ain’t got nothin left for you

I never, she never, we never looked back
That wasn’t what we were good at
And when it came to love
We were not good enough

Slow it down, Angie come back to bed
Rest your arms, and rest your legs
Don’t you frown when you’re feelin like that
Only love can dig you out of this

Stubborn Love Lyrics By The Lumineers

She’ll lie and steal and cheat, and beg you from her knees
Make you thinks she means it this time
She’ll tear a hole in you, the one you can’t repair
But I still love her, I don’t really care

When we were young, oh oh, we did enough
When it got cold, ooh ooh, we bundled up
I can’t be told, ah ah it can’t be done

It’s better to feel pain, than nothing at all
The opposite of love’s indifference
Pay attention now, I’m standing on your porch screaming out
And I wont leave until you come downstairs

So keep your head up, keep your love
Keep your head up, my love [x2]
Keep your head up, keep your love

I don’t blame ya dear for running like you did, all these years
I would do the same, you best believe
The highway signs say we’re close, but I don’t read those things anymore
I never trusted my own eyes

When we were young oh oh, we did enough
When it got cold, ooh ooh we bundled up
I can’t be told, ah ah, can’t be done

So keep your head up, keep your love
Keep your head up, my love [x2]
Keep your head up, keep your love
Head up, love
Head up, love

Big Parade Lyrics By The Lumineers

Lovely girl won’t you stay, won’t you stay, stay with me
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see
Lovely girl won’t you stay, won’t you stay, stay with me
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see

[Verse]
Fleet of black, fleet of black limousines
These tinted machines, here comes the cavalcade

With the armored cars, armored cars like berettas
Flags on antennaes designed to keep me safe, keep me safe

[Chorus]
And oh my my oh hey hey
Here he comes, the candidate
Blue eyed boy, united states
Vote for him, the candidate

[Verse]
Diamonds cut, diamonds cut for the carrots
Plaster of paris, the floats fill up the street

And the beauty queens, beauty queens with the white gloves
All sick from the night clubs, they wave with pageantry, pageantry

[Chorus]
Oh my my oh hey hey
Here it comes, the big parade
Marching bands and barricades
Make way, for the big parade

[Bridge]

[Verse]
Canvas covered, canvas covered in resin
The violent men who dance the blood ballet
And the bookies say, bookies say it’s the 3rd round
Oh when louie will go down, if he don’t there’s hell to pay, and hell to raise

[Chorus]
And oh my my oh hey hey
Here he comes, the welterweight
Take a dive, for goodness sake
Or say goodbye to the welterweight

[Verse]
Catholic priest, catholic priest in a crisis
He’s torn between romance and jesus, who will win the civil war

And he says I’m in love, I’m in love with a woman
Yea this is my confession, I’m leaving I can’t a priest anymore, anymore

[Chorus]
And oh my my oh hey hey
There he goes, the man of faith

Left the church for a fiance
Let him love, the man of faith

[Bridge]

[Verse]
T.v. cameras, t.v. cameras and stage hands
American bandstand, electric guitars

And he’s singin songs, singin songs for the lonely
All the girls with the room keys, they know all his words by heart, by heart and they all sing

[Interlude]
Lovely girl won’t you stay, won’t you stay, stay with me
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see
Lovely girl won’t you stay, won’t you stay, stay with me
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see

Lovely girl won’t you stay, oh oh ohoh

[Chorus]
Oh my my oh hey hey
Here she comes by saving grace
Burn the car and save the plates
She’s arrived, my saving grace

Charlie Boy Lyrics By The Lumineers

[Verse]
Charlie boy, don’t go to war, first born in forty – four
Kennedy made him believe we could do much more

Ohhh
Lillian, don’t hang your head, love should make you feel good
In uniform you raised a man, who volunteered to stand

[Bridge]
Ohhh

[Chorus]
Play the bugle, play the taps and
Make your mothers proud
Raise your rifles to the sky boys
Fire that volley loud

[Verse]
News was bad on upland ave., metuchen mourn our loss
Sons rebelled, while fathers yelled, and mothers clutched the cross

[Bridge]
Ohhh

[Chorus]
Play the bugle, play the taps and
Make your fathers proud
Raise your rifles to the sky boys
Fire that volley loud

Flapper Girl Lyrics By The Lumineers

[Verse 1]
Cut off all of your hair
Did you flinch, did you care
Did he look, did he stop and stare
At your brand new hair
Local boy, local news
Power lines hangin boots
Firemen in their trucks cut loose
A local boy’s shoes

Cadillac, cadillac
Businessmen dressed in slacks

I’m gonna buy one for us when I get back
A big cadillac

[Bridge]
And you can wave to all of your friends
And I’ll never leave you again

[Chorus]
Would you write would you call back baby if
I wrote you a song
I been gone but you’re still my lady and
I need you at home

[Verse 2]
Romeo, juliet
Balcony in silhouette
Makin o’s with her cigarette
It’s juliet

Flapper girl, flapper girl
Prohibition in curls
Hair of gold and a neck of pearls
It’s flapper girl

[Bridge]
And you can wave to all of your friends
And I’ll never leave you again

[Chorus]
Would you write would you call back baby if
I wrote you a song
I been gone but you’re still my lady and
I need you at home

[Bridge]
Cause if you ain’t behind my door
Then I ain’t got a home anymore

[Chorus]
Would you write would you call back baby if
I wrote you a song
I been gone but you’re still my lady and
I need you at home

[Outro]
Lovers come, lovers go
Lovers leave me alone
She’ll come back to me

Morning Song Lyrics By The Lumineers

The carbonation in my drink
The bubbles rise while my heart sinks
And I’ll I tend to do is think of you

Was it easier to pack your bags
And book that flight to paris as
The plane began to move that afternoon

When all the trains have pulled away
From local stations in decay
It’s I who waits, it’s you who’s late again

And did you think of me when you made love
To him, was it the same as us
Or was it different, it must have been

And all the pretty dames
They’ll hug and kiss you all the same
And when they go, they’re gone
They’re not run-ning late
Oh all, all the pretty dames

And the kids you hold in your arms
With promises to protect them from harm
But they grow, and they go
And you’re all a-lone
All the kids, all the kids that you hold

And it’s a shame that it ends this way
With nothing left to say
So just sit on your hands, while I walk aw-ay
It’s a shame, it’s a shame, it’s a shame
When my hands begin to shake
When bitterness is all I taste
And my car won’t stop
Cause I cut the brakes
I hold on to a hope in my fate

Oh oh ah ah hey hey
May you return to love one day
Well I hope and I pray
You get what you gave
Oh oh ah ah hey hey

Darlene Lyrics By The Lumineers

I see you
Standing there
In your favorite dress
I like what you wear

Oh Darlene, oh Darlene

I give you my ring
In your shaking hands
You give me a sting
With your crazy plans

Oh Darlene, oh Darlene

Don’t Wanna Go Lyrics By The Lumineers

Just wake up, I shouted
There’s some blood, around the-
Clean it up, it’s okay
Go get help, it’s okay
I’m too young and now it’s,
It’s gone numb around me
Ambulance in driveway
Speeding up the highway

Suits were made for men, not boys
And this faith that we fake is a choice

I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go
If it means goodbye
And I don’t wanna see
I don’t wanna be there
If it’s the last time

Hold my brother’s hand
And I’m his mother standing
In a sudden panic
Like a drugless addict

It’s too late, the moment
When it runs you over
No one’s safe, I need her
No one say it’s over

Suits were made for men, not boys
So leave me alone
And this faith that we fake is a choice
So take me (home)

I don’t wanna go
And I don’t wanna go
If it means goodbye
And I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna see her
If it’s the last time

Elouise Lyrics By The Lumineers

If you’re down on your luck, don’t get down on yourself
It won’t do you no good
‘Cause I’ve been there before, fought a hundred wars
And I’m still fighting for you

Elouise, why’d you leave?
Please confess, confess to me.
Sing my song, patiently
And I’ll return, my Elouise.

Let’s be Alison,
Let’s be David Burn
Let’s all learn how to dance
Move your feet in time
Put your hand in mine
We will waltz once again.

Elouise, why’d you leave?
Please confess, confess to me.
Sing my song, patiently
And I’ll return, my Elouise.

Elouise, why’d you leave?
Please confess, confess to me.
Song my song, graciously
We will waltz, Elouise.

Gun Song Lyrics By The Lumineers

I don’t own a single gun
But if I did, you’d be the one
To hold it, aim it, make all of the bad men run
But I don’t own a single gun

And I don’t have a sweetheart yet
But if I did I’d break my neck
To please her, make her want to stay in my arms we’d rest
But I don’t have a sweetheart yet

I can’t believe what I found in daddy’s sock drawer, sock drawer
It was a pistol, a Smith & Wesson, holy, holy shit

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

(One, Two, One, Two, Three, Four!)

Things I knew when I was young
Some were true and some were wrong
And one day, I pray , I’ll be more than my father’s son
But I don’t own a single gun

I Ain’t Nobody’s Problem Lyrics By The Lumineers

Well, I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
Said I, I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
Said I, ain’t nobody’s issue, don’t you come around babe cause I don’t miss you at all
I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own

Well I found myself a place
every smile that you waste
And every other careless look you’ve ever tossed aside
Well in my heart I know it’s true
That I can’t go on loving you
And that’s the truth It don’t feel good, but honey it feels right

Cause, I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
Said I, I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
Said I, ain’t nobody’s issue, don’t you come around babe cause I don’t miss you at all
I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own

Well of love I’ve had my share I’ve got plenty of people really who care
At times I might get wicked in my pride
But I smoke that mountain air honey I’ve been here, and I’ve been there
At times I might get lonely honey I don’t cry

Cause, I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
Said I, I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
Said I, ain’t nobody’s issue, don’t you come around babe cause I don’t miss you at all
I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own

There’s times at night when it’s cold outside, the moon don’t shine, the winds are crying,
I wonder if you’re at home you might let me back inside
We can huddle up by the old stove we can kindle up some burned out coals
We can love our selves like the days are warm
But, No no no no no

Cause, I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
Said I, I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
Said I, ain’t nobody’s issue, don’t you come around babe cause I don’t miss you at all
I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own

Well, I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
Said I, I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
Said I, ain’t nobody’s issue, don’t you come around babe cause I don’t miss you at all
I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own
