Josiah Leming Lyrics?

Question

Does anyone know where i can get the lyrics to Josiah Leming's songs?

Answer 1

All My Friends



Tell me, if I come do i ever get to go?

Or will you just break down and cry

God bless your soul

When everbody sees we're growing cold

But you don't know

That lately, i've been unable to hold down all the air

And i know i always swore i'd never swear

But i'm growing so damn tired of getting old

And getting cold, God bless my soul



All my friends are telling me

Everything that i could be

And i just smile, but secretly

I think i'm starting to believe

I'm gonna make it out of here



Give me intoxication over sobriety

Give me proof of everything that you believe

I really don't appreciate you preaching to me

Can't you see?

Oh, you'll see that i'm more that just a waste of given space

Or a rejection of your offer of some grace

Cause i know that there's a time and there's a place for me

And i can see



That all my friends are telling me

Everything that i should be

So i just smile, but secretly

I know i'm starting to believe

I'm gonna make it out of here



Girl i swear to you i'll never let them tear my soul out

Try as though they may they'll surely fail without a doubt

Looking back we'll wonder what we were so sad about

The best days of our lives pass by before we figure out



That all my friends believe in me

And everything i'm gonna be

So we just smile, and we start to sing

To anyone and everything

We're gonna make it out

We're gonna make it out

We're gonna make it out

Oh, we've gotta make it out of here



One Last Song (my fav)



The ship was sinking; we were drinking, singing one last song,

Casting our gold into the ocean.

You grabbed a bucket, started screaming, "Come on, come on",

Trying to slow the downward motion.

Back in the kingdom, we were kings and queens and Oh, so strong

That God himself could not contain us.

We never thought we'd be the shorter half of sword and gun.

Now god himself could never save us.



Waves of silver, waves of gold

Are coming now to take me,

To separate my body from my soul

And Jesus leaves or takes me.

Hopes of heaven, fears of hell

Tell me, what's the chance I'll make it.

All my other plans have failed,

And all this time I've faked it.



We started sinking, drinking water from the open sea

Losing our bodies to the ocean.

You grabbed my hand and started screaming, "rescue me"

Together fight the downward motion.

Back in the kingdom we were kings and queens and Oh, so strong

That god himself just had to show us.

We never thought we'd see the colder side of land and sea

But he's the only one who knows us.



Waves of silver, waves of gold

Are coming now to take me,

To separate my body from my soul

And Jesus either leaves or takes me.

Hopes of heaven, fears of hell

Tell me, what's the chance I'll make it.

All my other plans have failed,

And all this time I've faked it.



Bad News Baby (my 2nd fav)



My lady, she's nothing more than a melody

Whistlin underneath my skin

And pourin through my blood veins

Absorbing all the brain waves

Overtaking all my dreams.



And i could never be unfaithful

My everything is far too much to risk

And girl you're so extraordinary

But she's the only reason i exist



I'm bad news baby, i'm gonna break your heart

I burn my bridges daily before any others cross

I'm bad news baby, i'm not the man you want

The only girl i'll ever love is trapped inside a song



They tell me i'm nothing more than a tragedy

I'm headed for a breakdown

But they don't know my lady

They can't see how much she loves me

She'll never let me hit the ground



And i could never be unfaithful

My everything is far too much to risk

And girl you're so extraordinary

But she's the only reason i exist



I'm bad news baby, i'm gonna break your heart

I burn my bridges daily before any others cross

I'm bad news baby, i'm not the man you want

The only girl i'll ever love is trapped inside a song

A song



It's a song s-s-song, s-song, s-song

A song is all i have it's all i own

Oh, i'd sell my soul

I'd sell my soul for a song

Just a song



I'm bad news baby, i'm gonna break your heart

I burn my bridges daily before any others cross

I'm bad news baby, i'm not the man you want

The only girl i'll ever love is trapped inside a song



Her



Car door's frozen

I can't get to you

Your window's open

The cold air's pouring through

Your bones are broken

The belt won't let you loose

And i'm left hoping

That you might wake up soon



I just stand and watch as they pull you from another world

Unraveling twisted plots, oh i wish you were another girl



And i'll set the world on fire

Cause i could not satisfy her



Empty hallways

You can't get to me

Open doorways

But you're still searching for your keys

And i can't open

The ears for which i sing

So i'll just pass along

And baby you'll start to hear me



You just sit and stare as if i'm from another land

In your comfortable chair, oh i wish i were another man



And i'll set the world on fire

Cause i could not satisfy her



Satisfaction seems to be

The key that turns, the air we breathe

It brings us now so confidently crawling on our knees

So you try to satisfy the hours

But you're ignorance won't fight the fires

And your innocence can't kill desire

So you're not as perfect as you seem to be



I'll set the world on fire

Cause i could not satisfy her

I'll set the world on fire

Cause i could not satisfy her

And i'll take this world by fire

Cause i'll never...

I'll never satisfy

I'll never satisfy

Her..

Answer 2

'To Run' by Josiah Leming



i showed up at her door

no gifts or explanations for

the way that i'd been actin

father time just kept on passin

i tried to kiss her lips

she said, let's put an end to this

a simple overreaction

it sent my head into a backspin



i don't know where to run



she was a teenage girl

i made sure to promise her the world

spend money fast as lightning

anything just to keep her smiling

my voice was all she heard

sentences filled with empty words

oh i thought i was so clever

never knew that our line would sever



i don't know where to run

i don't know where to run

i, i have nowhere to run



i wake up on the floor

my head replays that closing door

my heart won't stop rewinding

inside clocks all out of timing

she starts to disappear

they'll be no turning back from here

when all is said and done

and i begin

to run



=) This is my favorite song of his! The link below has all his songs, enjoy.

Answer 3

I like Josiah Leming a lot. This song however is very different in the lyrics. The first paragraph seems to be talking about growing old and wondering if he's getting into heaven. Then the second paragraph is talking about being young and getting out of his home town and making something of himself. The third paragraph I guess is talking about not deserving heaven. He doesn't believe in heaven and he wants proof but he's tired of being preached to. Then he says that he's more than a waste of space (I'm assuming he's talking to God). He talks as if God won't let him in heaven and God won't spare him any grace. In the fourth paragraph it goes on again (chorus I guess) as paragraph two. Paragraph five, he is now talking to a girl and apparently some people want to tear his soul (emotions?) out. It's a little confusing here. I don't know who wants to rip out his soul... He may be talking about christians who he doens't want to be preached to or bad friends/family ripping out his soul and crushing his dreams of being something. It's making him and his girlfriend sad and one day when they are old they will look back and 'wonder what they were sad about'. It's a good tune and song, the lyrics are however confusing unless you go line by line. I may be completely wrong but it's what I gather.

Answer 4

oh if your talking about the man on american idol, it's Grace Kelly by Mika. on his first audiotion he sund "run on"



here are the ones to razorblades and handgrenades

she swears she fell from heaven

a short fall from holy hands

and the sun forsakes the sky just to lay

upon her golden strands

she wants to touch the fire

she wants to hold it in her hands

she wants to catch the lightning bolts

and glow without their reprimands



but underneath her pillowcase

is where she keeps the razorblades

for the next person that falls asleep

and underneath her staircase

is where she lays the handgrenades

for the next person that tries to leave



kick and scream, don't let her take me

sleep and dream, it's all the same

don't let me miss the signs that lead me out

tonight i fall down



cos underneath her pillowcase

is where she keeps the razorblades

for the next time that i fall asleep

and underneath her staircase

is where she lays the handgrenades

for the next time that i try to leave



oh i try to leave

yes i try to leave

leave her



she swears she fell from heaven

a short fall from holy hands

and the sun forsakes the sky just to lay

upon her golden strands

Car door's frozen

Your bones are broken

The belt won't let you loose

BAD NEWS BABY:

My lady, she's nothing more than a melody

Absorbing all the brain waves

Overtaking all my dreams.

I'm headed for a breakdown

I'm bad news baby, i'm not the man you want

The only girl i'll ever love is trapped inside a song

A song



It's a song s-s-song, s-song, s-song

A song is all i have it's all i own

Oh, i'd sell my soul

I'd sell my soul for a song

Just a song



I'm bad news baby, i'm gonna break your heart

I burn my bridges daily before any others cross

I'm bad news baby, i'm not the man you want

The only girl i'll ever love is trapped inside a song

ALL MY FRIENDS:

Tell me, if I come do i ever get to go?

Or will you just break down and cry

God bless your soul

When everbody sees we're growing cold

And i know i always swore i'd never swear

But i'm growing so damn tired of getting old

And getting cold, God bless my soul



All my friends are telling me

Everything that i could be

And i just smile, but secretly

I think i'm starting to believe

I'm gonna make it out of here



Give me intoxication over sobriety

Give me proof of everything that you believe

I really don't appreciate you preaching to me

Can't you see?

Oh, you'll see that i'm more that just a waste of given space

Or a rejection of your offer of some grace

Cause i know that there's a time and there's a place for me

And i can see



That all my friends are telling me

Everything that i should be

So i just smile, but secretly

I know i'm starting to believe

THEY SAY:

they say, history will find us on the last train

and we'll make all the same mistakes that they made

and we could never rule tomorrow our way out

love...it's too late now

they say, nothing comes from going against their grain

and oh, we are the diggers of our own graves

and we will crash and burn before our train leaves this town

love...forgive me now



they can burn in hell

they can burn in hell



they say, we will live life dragging on the coattails

holding onto dreams of false fairy tales

and sleeping under bridges where our train breaks down

love...our light will drown



they can burn in hell

they can burn in hell

TO RUN:

i showed up at her door

no gifts or explanations for

the way that i'd been actin

father time just kept on passin

i tried to kiss her lips

she said, let's put an end to this

a simple overreaction

it sent my head into a backspin



i don't know where to run



she was a teenage girl

i made sure to promise her the world

spend money fast as lightning

anything just to keep her smiling

i don't know where to run

i don't know where to run

i, i have nowhere to run



i wake up on the floor

my head replays that closing door

my heart won't stop rewinding

inside clocks all out of timing

she starts to disappear

they'll be no turning back from here

when all is said and done

and i begin

to run

THIS CIGAR:

this cigar, burns a hole straight through my jeans and

through your heart, as we watch the ashes form

another scar, that i will never show

but some how everybody seems to know my demons

in all my efforts i've commited treason

for chasing dreams that are changing like the seasons

make me feel so small, but i'm so proud to tell them all



that i'm a man now

i can drive a car

and i'm a drop out

i'm nobody so far

but i don't mess with

cigarettes or alcohol

cos i'm the best there is

and they tell me all the winners smoke cigars



this guitar, is pouring melodies that burn

inside my heart, as the sound is broken up

by passing cars, they don't know that i'm above

or that i'm swimming in the middle of an ocean

i'm riding on a wave of pure emotion

yeah, i'm drinkin up this sea like it's a potion

maybe it could lend me wings, i'll either float or start to sink



cos i'm a man now

i can drive a car

and i'm a drop out

i'm nobody so far

but i don't mess with

cigarettes and alcohol

cos i'm the best there is

and they tell me all the winners play guitar



and i know i've never been the kind

to let them get inside my mind

you just got to see that i need them on my side

i promise not to breathe it in

or ever strum a chord again

cos it hurts my lungs and burns my tongue to know that....



this cigar, burns a hole straight through my jeans

and through her heart, as we watch the ashes form

another scar, that i could never show

yet somehow everybody seems to know my demons

in all my efforts i've commited treason

for chasing dreams that are changing like the seasons

i know that i'm so small but i'm so proud to tell you all



that i'm a man now

i can drive a car

and i'm a drop out

nobody so far

but i don't mess with

cigarettes and alcohol

cos i'm the best there is

and they tell me all the winners smoke cigars
