"Walls" lyrics
"Walls"
(originally by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers)
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundowns are golden
And they fade away
But if I never do nothing
I'll get you back some day
'Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
All around your island
There's a barricade
It keeps out the danger
It holds in the pain
Sometimes you're happy
Sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky
But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
Yes, they do
Some things are over
Some things go on
Part of me you carry
And part of me is gone
But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
Baby, you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

"Tom Petty is a musical hero to us. We were lucky enough to tour with him, and this song 'Walls' is the song Wes' wife walked down the aisle to. We recorded our version backstage before a show after Tom died, and the proceeds will go to MusiCares – an organization that helps all kinds of musicians." - The Lumineers.

Ben Howard - "Hot Heavy Summer" Baby wants to dance
Past the flat footed charterhouse boys
From towns where the mothers can't stand
The sight of each other
Baby wants to last
In the hearts of the wild and free
She knows that time...
Leon Bridges - "Mrs." I tried to let go we end up on the floor
And you try to leave when I need you the most
Sometimes I wonder what we holding on for
Then you climb on top of me and I remember
You know that I think you...
Christian Akridge - "Please Notice" And baby when you sleep do you dream of me?
And when you're awake do you think of me?
I need to know, how do you feel?
'Cause baby when I sleep I dream of you
And when I'm awake that's all I do...
Ray LaMontagne - "I Was Born To Love You" You give me a sign, you give me a lift
Take me home when I'm done my shift
You give me a loan when I'm stone cold broke
Get me high when I need a toke
I was born to love
I was born to
I was born to...
Manchester Orchestra - "The Gold" Couldn't really love you any more
You've become my ceiling
I don't think I love you anymore
That gold mine changed you
You don't have to hold me anymore
Our cave's collapsing
I don't wanna be me...
