The Band

The Band - Red Wanting Blue

If you say you're the ring finger on my stone

Well I say I'm a kite with a key

If you say that you are unsure of things

Well I'm not accepting defeat

Are we strong enough

Is it good enough

Am I brave enough

For the both of us

I will sing you songs

Even though you can't put 'em on your finger

I'll never be a diamond mine I'm just a singer

I will sing you songs

Wishing my words carried on as long as a stone

On a band of gold

You're sleepwalking through the daylight

How else am I supposed to follow a dream

And now you say I can't wait on you to connect these hands

But I'm still trying to reach

So are we strong enough

Is it good enough

You pray hard enough

For the both of us

I will sing you songs

Even though you can't put 'em on your finger

I'll never be a diamond mine I'm just a singer

I will sing you songs

Wishing my words carried on as long as a stone

On a band of gold

'Cause I'm just a rolling stone in a band on the road

I know words don't mean

Much on their own

But what I sing to you

Is worth more than a stone

I will sing you songs

Even though you can't put 'em on your finger

I'll never be a diamond mine I'm just a singer

I will sing you songs

Wishing my words carried on as long as a stone

On a band of gold

'Cause I'm just a rolling stone in a band on the road

You said you want a stone

On a band of gold

What you got is a rolling stone

In a band on the road

Yeah I'm just a rolling stone in a band on the road

I haven't seen the sun in days

Man it's getting to me

Well that's our industry

I lost my happy thoughts

Caught up in a tree

Flying's harder for me now

And kiss my a** you dream

I hope you're hearing me

No one's bet on you quite like I did

It's taken everything I've got

To keep myself on the road

I don't wanna drive no more

I am a stubborn bull

I am a caveman

A cheap tattoo

Gone from black to blue

So I don't wanna hear it from you

Never gonna be a spaceman

Sitting on my tin can

Never come back

I spend my afternoons

Making masterpieces

People would later understand

Well damn you wishing well

You should've told me

I bought dreams you wouldn't sell

It's taken everything I've god

To keep my hands from my face

I don't wanna cry no more

I found dangers in

Acting out

Dreams never meant

To be carried out

Oh but I am the stubborn bull

Yeah I am a caveman

A cheap tattoo

Fading from black to blue

So I don't wanna hear it from you

'Cause I'm always red wanting
