Only Songs Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Do you remember '95?
And how good it felt to be alive
When the world, when the world was small
I didn't fear, I didn't fear it at all
[Verse 2]
Have you ever had a love that's bigger than you
Oh, how you know it when it's true
I've had a love, I've had a love like that
But it always seems to slip through my hands
[Chorus]
'Cause the only thing that saves me
Are these songs I sing, baby
You can't save me from anything
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
I've got pictures on my walls of all the things
That I think will bring me back my sanity
Like Paddy and my rosary
Like the ocean and the Virgin Mary
[Chorus]
'Cause the only thing that saves me
Are these songs I sing, baby
You can't save me from anything
Not from my twisted mind nor wasted time
From heartache or all my mistakes
Not from the world and its dark way
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
'Cause it's not what you've got
That will get you to God
No, it's not what you thought
That'll get you to God
No, it's not what you've got
That'll get you to God
Oh, it's not what you got
That'll get you
[Chorus]
'Cause the only thing that saves me
Are the songs I sing, baby
You can't save me from anything
Not from my twisted mind or wasted time
From heartache or all my mistakes
Not from the world and its dark way
[Solo / Ending]

Mackenzie Howe on NPR:
It’s about the feeling that music gives you. If you’ve ever toured you know that your whole day of driving and waiting and sound-checking revolves around an hour or two every night — the live show. And that it’s such a rush, and an honor to perform, that you’re willing to liv...
