Is this the bottom? I can hear the ocean call The road ahead is frigid cold To fear the reaper With long-forgotten gold His cloak of blue, of knotted bone I forgot the simple truth that came along with youth Trusting what can only be dispelled Well, try as though I might This ever-changing wraith is proving to be too much to bear. This is the bottom I can smell it in the air Upon the reef, upon the sand. (Urban)

gotta lady in the snowdrift, she stays up late for me gotta lady on the mountain, what can i say? gotta lady from Chicago, and you better not call it disco gotta lady lives downtown, what can i say? fading in the nighttime somehow i got summoned through the snow i’m inside the white lines don’t know much outside of that right now and i’m all out of patience and i’m feeling a change in my mind i’ve been grinding my way through the glaciers for you babe and you’re still cold headlights cut the snowfall little stars in hyperspace for me and i’ve been dry since last call lost and gone within my freezing whip could just let her fishtail meet my end in a fire on the ice though there’s miles left to go and i’ve got promises you know but not to you not anymore before i’d freeze 2 death 4 you but not today, not tonight, not tomorrow i got no time for that you can stay on your own i’ll stay warm i won’t feel dead for you not like this, not like then, not like before (Harmon)

Stuck Can only wonder why she brought me here When my hands are bound for treason And I’ve lost the will to live What could be my options when tantalized by sin? Took three days to track me down Guessin’ she saw me first I was huddled over plunder Guessin’ she saw the worth Now my knees are raw from praying for riddles in the dark. Simmer down You got this rush in your crown You got this speed This speed I need You got this rhythm fillin’ in my blanks You got me high I’ll get you higher Rise in a skylight like this desire Then you can see me inside the steam. Cool out You’ll burn the ship down Came all this way crashing on waves You got this cadence clappin’ in my brain You got me dry in achy weather We’ll let the riddles trick us together If you can’t find me then you can dream. You caught me rollin’ in gold, and it don’t feel alright Tied me down like a dog and said that I’m king of these seas No, it don’t feel quite OK. Damaged on average doesn’t feel alright I could preach to the bone choir any day If I guessed right every time, would you stay? (Harmon/Urban)
