A Gift for Melody Anne
The Avett Brothers

I wanna get back, I wanna get square
I want to get back all the hopes and dreams that I had
That the good lord above us can spare
Like that actor said: I don't wanna lose heart!!
I don't want to get beat beat down by the big big world
Or quit before I even start

Lord I just want my life to be true
And I just want my heart to be true
And I just want my words to be true
I want my soul to feel brand new

I want to hold hands, yeah and I want make love
I want to keep running all day and and all night
(Even when my mind tells my body 'that's enough')
And I want to stand up, yeah and I want to stand tall
If I ever have a son, if I ever have a daughter
I don't wanna tell them that I didn't give my all

And I just want my life to be true
I just want my heart to be true
I just want my words to be true
I want my soul to feel brand brand new
Like a fresh coat of paint
We can make it anything but blue
Anything but blue

Now, when your dreams start saying 'I can't come true
You'd be better off without me' ...
Don't let 'em go, don't let 'em go

I don't wanna go broke, not from one bad deal
I don't want to be up all night, crying in my hands
For a girl that isn't even real

Lord I just want my life to be true
And I just want my heart to be true
And I just want my words to be true
And I just want my song to be true
And I just want my heart to be true
And I just want my life to be true
And I just want my words to be true
And I just want my heart to be true
And I just want my life to be true
And I just want my song to be true
And I just want my life to be true
I want my soul to feel brand new
I want my soul to feel brand new
