Guys and gals trying to get lyrics to all the songs on the upcoming album.
I was able to find (4) of them but not all.
Yes these are for personal use only, trying to get in the zone before the shows.

Are you sure it's not
if I didn't, I'm a fool you see...?
I can't tell for sure, but "didn't" works much better in the context of the song imo... anyone else?
hahah.. yeah i think it fits better..
(edited the lyrics)
Won't let the darkness swallow me.
Yes, amongst the waves, forget about it.... A little early to put them in order, but
Just Breathe, Amongst the Waves and The End are... I'm at a loss for words.
I'm still looking for lyrics to

do you wanna hear something sick?
we are but victims of desire
i'm gonna shake this thing
i wanna shake this pain before i retire
i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend
make it go away
i'm sick of everything, i'm gonna see my friend
make it go away
buona sera, won't be long before we all walk off the wire
i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend
for what i require
buona sera, cut my quick
don't want my flame to get no higher
i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
wanna leave it all
wanna give it up
wanna see it, gone once & for all
wanna feel withdrawl
want an overhaul
wanna be there, hard as a statue
black as a tattoo, never to wash away
gonna take me an astral plane
i'm gonna tunnel trhough denial
i'm gonna shake this thing
i wanna shake this pain 'for i retire
i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
i'm gonna see my friend, i'm gonna see my friend, make it go away
Got Some
(vedder / vedder)
every night with the lights out, where you gone?

get it now, get it on before it's gone
let's everybody carry on, carry on
get it now set it off before it's gone
get everybody carry on, carrying on
precipitation, which side are you on
are you on the rise? are you falling down?
lemme know, c'mon let's go yeh!
got some
get it now, get it on, before it's gone
let's everybody carry on, carry on
turn it up, set it off, before we're gone
let's everybody carry on, carry on
this situation, which side are you on?
are you getting out? are you dropping boombs?
have you heard of diplomatic resolve resolve? yeh!
precipitation, which side are you on?
are you on the rise? are you falling down?
lemme know c'mon let's go
get it now, get it on before it's gone
let's everybody carry on, carry on
turn it up, set it off before we're gone
let's everybody get it on, get it
precipitation, which side are you on?
are you drying up? are you a big drop?
are you a puddle full of detriment?
got some if you need it
got some
The Fixer
vedder/ cameron/ mccready/ gossard)
when something's dark, lemme shed a little light on it
when something's cold, lemme put a little fire on it
if something's old, i wanna put a little shine on it
when something's gone, i wanna fight to get it back again
yeah, yeah, yeah
when something's broke, i wanna put a bit of fixing on it
if something's bored, i wanna put a bit exciting on it
when something's low, i wanna a little high on it
when something's lost, i wanna fight to get it back again
when signals cross, i wanna put a little straight on it
if there's no love, i wanna try to love again
i'll say your prayers
i'll take your side
i'll find us a way to make light
i'll dig your grave
we'll dance and sing
what say, could be our last lifetime!
Johnny Guitar
(vedder / cameron /gossard)
johnny guitar watson staring at me
riding on three wheels, a woman on his knee
with a leg under a red dress i wish i could see
further north a warmth alive & lingering
now johnny he be having lots of women
the reason he be smiling known to him
on the left the girl in red so innocent
never sheds her clothes even when she goes to bed
the type of girl responsible foriginal sin
can't help but wonder where & who she is
and the memory is always getting cleared
for that's 30 years or more i've loved her so
and i know i need to know.. why she's with him
and i sleep w/ the light on.. in case she comes
and i sleep w/ the light on.. in case she
recently as i was waiting on a dream
she came to visit lost & lonely me
she leaned over the bed & with her lips above my head
she asked if i had seen her johnny
oh and i hide my disappointment
cause for years i had been hoping
oh yeh, i had been hoping
that when she came, she would come for me
i hide my disappointment
cause for years i had been hoping
that when she came,
she'd be coming just for me
Just Breathe
(vedder / vedder)
yes i understand that every life must end, aw huh
as we sit alone, i know someday we must go, aw huh
i'm a lucky man to count on both hands
the ones i love..
some folks just have one,
other they got none, aw huh..
stay with me..
let's just breathe.
practiced are my sins,
never gonna let me win, aw huh..
under everything, just another human being, aw huh..
yeh, i don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
to make me bleed.
stay with me..
you're all i see.
did i say that i need you?
did i say that i want you?
oh, if i didn't i'm a fool you see..
no one know this more than me.
as i come clean.
i wonder every day
as i look upon your face, aw huh..
everything you gave
and nothing you would take, aw huh..
nothing you would take
everything you gave
did i say that i need you?
oh, did i say that i want you?
oh, if i didn't now i'm a fool you see..
no one know this more than me
as i come clean
nothing you would take
everything you gave
hold me till i die..
meet you on the other side
Amongst The Waves
(vedder / gossard)
what used to be a house of card
has turned into a reservoir
saved the tears that we're waterfalling
let's go swim tonight, darling
& once outside the undertow
just you & and & nothing more
if not for love i would be drowning
i've see it work both way, but i am up
riding high amongst the waves
i can feel like i
have a soul that has been saved
i can feel like i
put away my early grave
gotta say it now
better loud
that too late
remember back the early day
when you were young & thus amazed
suddenly the channel changed
the first time you saw blood
cut to later, now you're strong
you've bled yourself, the wounds are gone
it's rare when there is nothing wrong
survived & you're amongst the fittest
love ain't love until you give it up
riding high amongst the waves
i can feel like i
have a soul that has been saved
i can see the light
coming through the clouds in rays
gotta say it now
better loud
that too late
Unthought Known
(vedder / vedder)
All the thoughts... you never see... you're always thinking...
Brain is wired... brain is deep.... oh are you sinking?
feel the path of every day...which road you taking?
breathing hard... & making hay... yeh this is living...
look for love & evidence.. that you're worth keeping
swallowed whole in negatives.. it's so sad & sickening
feel the air up above... a pool of blue sky...
fill the air up with love... black w/starlight.....
feel the sky blanket you... w/gems & rhinestones...
see the path cut by the moon.. for you to walk on...
for you to walk on...
nothing left...nothing left...
nothing there... nothing left...
see the path cut by the moon.. for you to walk on...
see the waves on distant shores... anything your arrival...
dream the dreams of other men... you'll be no ones rival...
dream the dreams of others then... you will be no ones rival...
you will be no ones rival...
a distant time... a distant space... that's where we're living...
a distnt time... a distant place... so what you giving?...
what you giving?
Supersonic
(vedder / gossard)
yeah i been dreaming of getting along
now i'm awake, dreaming keep it on keeping on
i catch a break, then a punch to the head
i smile big wih a toothless grin
supersonic gone & took my soul
i caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh
supersonic, truth be told
i don't need you to live, but i'll never let you go
yeah, i been thinking, i already know
nothing bout nothing, or so i have been told
i'm not the paper, i'm more the the fold
cut the crease & put the shit in the whole
supersonic gone & took my soul
i caught the rhythm but the clock was slow yeh
supersonic, truth be told
i don't need you to live, but i'll never let you go
supersonic, gotta feel it now
i need to hear it, need to feel it loud yeh
supersonic, truth be told
i wanna live my life with the volume full
Speed of Sound
(vedder / vedder)
yesterdays, how quick they change
all lost and long gone now
it's hard to remember any thing
moving at the speed of sound
moving with the speed of sound
and yet i'm still holding tight
to this dream of distant light
and that somehow i'll survive
but this night has been a long one
waiting on a sun? that just don't come
can i forgive what i
cannot forget
and live a lie?
i could give it one more try
why deny this drive inside?
just looking for some peace
overtime i get me some
it gets the best of me
not much left you see
and yet i'm still holding tight
to this dream of distant light
and that somehow i'll survive
but this night has been a long one
waiting on a word? that never comes
a whisper in the dark
is that you or just my thoughts?
wide awake & reaching out
it's gone so quiet now
could it be i'm farther out?
moving faster than the speed of sound
Force of Nature
understand she's a force of nature
contraband hiding deep inside he soul
exorcising her will to lose control
she lets go
a common man, he don't stand a chance, no
wonderland pulling alice in the hole
no way to save someone who won't take the rope
and just let's go
one man stands the edge of the ocean
a beacon on dry land
eyes upon the horizon
in the dark before the dawn
hurricane has the trade winds blowing
a gale force shaking windows in the storm
shipwreckon the rock that he calls home
with one light on
somewhere there'a a siren singing
a song only he hears
all the strenght that you might think
would disappear... resolving
one man stand alone, awaiting
for her to come home
eyes upon the horizon
in dark before the darkness meets the dawn
makes me ache... makes me shake...
is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?
last i say, he was out there waiting
a silhouette in the black light, full moon glow
in the sand there he stands upon the shore
forevermore
somewhere there's a siren singing
a song only he hears
all the strength that you might think
woul disappear, resolving
one man stands alone, awaiting
for her to come home
eyes are closed... you cannot know
but his heart don't seem to roam
The End
(vedder / vedder)
what were all those dreams we shared
those many year ago?
what where all those plans we made
now left beside the road?
behind us in the road
more than friends i always pledged
cause friend they come and go
people change and does everything
i wanted to grow old
just want to grow old
slide on next to me
i'm just a human being
i will take the blame
but just the same
this is not me
you see
believe
i'm better than this
don't leave me so cold
or buried beneath the stones
i just want to hold on
and know i'm worth your love
enough
i don't think
there's such a thing
it's my fault, now i been caught
a sickness in my bones
how it paints to leave you here
with the kids on your own
just don't let me go
help me see myself
cause i can no longer tell
looking out from the inside of
the bottom of a well
it's hell
i yell
but no one hears
before i disappear
whisper in my ear
give me something to echo
in my unknown futures ear
my dear
the end
comes near
i'm here
but not much longer
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
The End could be autobiographical. I don't think anyone, including Ed, knows yet.
To me, in that song, Ed is envisioning a man on his deathbed ... looking back ... reflecting on life ... seeking redemption, or at least forgiveness, for his faults.
for the least they could possibly do
Could this be Ed's first love song?
If I'm reading it right, I feel as though this is one is personal & meant for one person...i.e. his wife.
I can't think of any other songs of his in the same category (Love Boat Captain is more general--to all of us).
Just throwing it out there.
PS.I'm glad it's not a Faith Hill cover tune. Haha.
