Hook:
No I’m not going back to the way things were
No, No I’m not going back,
No, No
No I’m not going back to the way things were
No, I’m not going back
No I’m not going back
Verse:
Picture a clumsy little fat kid
Never really all that eloquent
Nah, relying mostly on his common sense
So ridiculed for all the money that he’s never had
His parents work hard, though,
Just to keep him and his sister
Dad and Mom, yeah, you know they’d lie awake
And spit that angry vitriol
That shit was so hard to take
Though it wasn’t their fault, man,
He’s about to fall off, damn,
Would they even notice if one night he was just gone
But even when those times grew tough, you know
You know he couldn’t give in
And, no he wouldn’t give up
You know it wasn’t enough for him to just walk away from everything
Even though he’s still feeling those memories in his bad dreams
Thinking back that shit don’t seem so far away
Nah, but man these scars don’t look so deep today
Yeah, and now I know one thing’s for sure
No matter what will happen
Man, that past is out the door
Hook:
No I’m not going back to the way things were
No, No I’m not going back,
No, No
No I’m not going back to the way things were
No, I’m not going back
No I’m not going back
Verse:
But now at fifteen years old
He’s standing toe to toe with his old man
Neither one of them really quite understanding, Goddamn
That all the pain inflicted
It was never intended
It’s just a product of a father’s malicious vision
Which is a symptom of his alcoholic tendencies, yeah
You know that shit he never meant to be
But eighteen years of melting metal took his soul
You know that shit can make you grow so old and cold
And now it’s hard to be so mad at someone you love
But if he’s putting hands on your mother
You know a son has to put up gloves
It’s usually over before shit began
But even one set of blows
Will make that shit so hard for amends, damn
You know I love you man, I always will
But why’d you have to drink so much
Man, I promise I never will
Yeah, yeah my son will never feel this pain
That’s a promise, Dad
Here comes the rain
Hook:
No I’m not going back to the way things were
No, No I’m not going back,
No, No
No I’m not going back to the way things were
No, I’m not going back
No I’m not going back

Friend
04:23
|
|||
|
Verse:
Damn, look
02/03/2012
That was the day I lost a big part of my world, yeah
William Christopher, was more than just a friend to me
We weren’t lovers
Nah, but I loved you like a brother, “C”
Every day I got you spinning on my mind
And those months melted away
I’m trying to take back all that wasted time
And I hear you whisper softly in my ear
“It’s gonna be fine, just stay strong, and I know you’ll persevere”
You always had the right words
Best friend I’d never deserve
But you stood by my side
And made sure I believed in my worth
Yeah, man I’ve always taken that for granted
You’re always there to somehow help me understand it
And it’s amazing in the end those things we contemplated
So young and dumb, Goddamn
That whiskey bottle got us faded
We were lucky back then
Young and so alive
Damn, I miss you, man
I hope you’re fine
Hook:
Now I’m missing you my friend
My friend
I never thought our days would end
You know I’m missing you my friend
My friend
I never thought our days would end
Verse:
But now it’s been almost six years, man
And I still see you all the time
But of course I know it isn’t logical
Because of how this shit still feels inside
Man, I should’ve been there when you needed me
Instead I pushed you away a little bit
I’m tormented mentally
We’d talk for hours at a time bout music, movies, art, and girls
Goddamn, those girls, you know they’re central to our world
We loved them all
We were the “man to beat”
It’s too bad, though
Back then they were too fucking blind to see
And now I’m looking at the heavens wishing I believed
Could use some comfort from these tears that’s rolling down my cheeks
Man, I hope that you’re at peace
And I finally realized that shit was never your fault
Please allow me to apologize
Man, now I’m Marshall Love because of you
Yeah, thank you, brother man
I know what to do
Yeah, because of you man now I know what to do
Hook:
No I’m not going back to the way things were
No, No I’m not going back,
No, No
No I’m not going back to the way things were
No I’m not going back
No I’m not going back
Outro:
Man, I just keep thinking about all the things that you would’ve been a part
Yeah, so many things that you would’ve had a hand in
So many things that you’ve already played a part of
I mean you’re the one that told my wife-to-be that I was good in bed
How the fuck you knew, man, I don’t know
But, look
You helped a virgin get a girlfriend for the first time
So, you know, most guys wouldn’t admit that shit
But, it’s you, man
You know I love you
I wish my son could’ve met you
But I’m gonna tell him all the stories about the good times we had
How good of a friend you were
Man, you were an example for me
I love you brother
Peace.

Hook:
Baby, can’t you see
That we were meant to be as one
Like the sunshine
Like the seasons, Love
Love, you and me
We’re a part of nature
We’re destined to be
Like fish in the ocean
Birds in the sky (fly high)
No further explanation
No questions “why,” Love
Love, you and me
We’re a part of nature
We’re destined to be
Verse:
Look, from day one I knew I’d never meet
Another girl like you, girl
I knew you were always gonna get me
I see forever in your eyes
Yeah I see the truth
Couldn’t find myself back then
But somehow, girl, I still found you
And I remember night and day that day we walked away
It could’ve ended there
But somehow, girl, you know we stuck a claim
To a love so strong
You’ve always got me holding on
Whether this shit’s right or wrong
You’re always gonna be the one.
Hook:
Baby, can’t you see
That we were meant to be as one
Like the sunshine
Like the seasons, Love
Love, you and me
We’re a part of nature
We’re destined to be
Like fish in the ocean
Birds in the sky (fly high)
No further explanation
No questions “why,” Love
Love, you and me
We’re a part of nature
We’re destined to be
Verse:
You know I love ya, girl, even when I hate you
And after all is said and done I’ll never leave you
I’m thinking back, girl, if this life had played a different way
Things would never be the same
You know I’m almost scared to think
Because I know I couldn’t take it
My life without you, girl
I never would’ve made it
We got this unique
Special type of bond
You know that type of bond that imprints on you
Even from beyond
Hook:
Baby, can’t you see
That we were meant to be as one
Like the sunshine
Like the seasons, Love
Love, you and me
We’re a part of nature
We’re destined to be
Like fish in the ocean
Birds in the sky (fly high)
No further explanation
No questions “why,” Love
Love, you and me
We’re a part of nature
We’re destined to be
Outro:
I swear there must be a god
To find someone like you is against the odds
You’re one in a million
A perfect match
Like bee’s to a flower
Flames to a match

On these Indiana summer nights
On these Indiana summer nights, yeah
Baby, we gonna do it right
Yeah, yeah
On these Indiana summer… (Nights)
Ooh, girl, on these Indiana summer… (Nights)
Baby girl, on these Indiana summer… (Nights)
Verse:
We’ve got Hispanic, Asian, Black, and White
I keep good people always by my side
Doesn’t matter whether it takes place all day or night
Nah, you know our good times always color blind
I’m gonna keep my wits, but still might drink a little bit
Man, I don’t smoke, but still might take a little toke
I go for broke
Keep it pointed down the road
You know we only get this one life
So let’s go enjoy the show
My fame is manageable
Fantasize intangible, though
Nobody’s perfect, but pursue that shit, it’s worth it
Yeah, you know we got what you need
I’m, Marshall Love
TRUEIND, baby, you better believe
Don’t get me twisted, though
Earn that shit you’re gifted, Bro
This righteous indignation won’t fuel our generation, no
Yeah, we’re moving mountains into outer space
Evolve your mindset, that’s a sign of some amazing grace
Hook:
On these Indiana summer nights
On these Indiana summer nights, yeah
Baby, we gonna do it right
Yeah, yeah
On these Indiana summer… (Nights)
Ooh, girl, on these Indiana summer… (Nights)
Baby girl, on these Indiana summer… (Nights)
Verse:
Always living wild and free, yeah
Man, smoking Hookah out that can’s so fucking nasty
In the backseat, windows down, tracks beat
Going nowhere fast, but satisfying
Facts, B
Yeah, man and I’m proud to be from 260
The 982, you know that’s where I choose to call my home
Steeped in tradition and when it’s gone I’ll miss it
Even though I’ve built my on fam
Respectfully I listen to the voices of my past
To the memories that last, yeah
Nothings ever been the same, but good things always last, man
Yeah, and I’m igniting this flame
Man, tell me what you know about TRUEIND or the game
Man, this was never bout that paper chase
Nah, you know that greed ain’t never been my taste
Give me a warm breeze
I’ll be sitting in a lawn chair with my girl B
Hook:
On these Indiana summer nights
On these Indiana summer nights, yeah
Baby, we gonna do it right
Yeah, yeah
On these Indiana summer… (Nights)
Ooh, girl, on these Indiana summer… (Nights)
Baby girl, on these Indiana summer… (Nights)
