Verse 1 My heart’s about to burst, I wanta exonerate the hurt Cause there are so many, so many ways to feel alone, and I would know Casualties of drunken revelries, how they turn into Sunday morn Giving her all my might on a lonely Saturday night Chorus 1 So love please, don’t you forget about me Oh love, don’t you forget about me Oh love, please forgive me Verse 2 A girl named Alex told me once, what’s the point in hanging on When this world that we live in is so full of wrong I told her “love is the reason, it’s the greatest healer It can turn an atheist into a believer” Cause for so long I tried to deny its existence, I was a fool Chorus 2 So love please, don’t you forget about me Oh love, don’t you forget about me Oh love, please forgive me Bridge I’ve been trying my whole wretched life Only to find to my surprise, you’re the reason why oh why… Verse 3 My heart’s about to burst, I wanta exonerate the heart Cause there are so many, so many ways to feel alone, and I would know Casualties of drunken revelries, how they turn into Sunday morn Giving her all my might on a lonely Saturday night Chorus 3 So love please, don’t you forget about me Oh love, don’t you forget about me Oh love, please forgive me
2.	When You Wish Upon A Bar 02:42	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 I work hard every day, just to take care of my babe And make this house into a home But at night I sometimes roam, as I take the long way home Pre Chorus 1 Cause I've been upon a star wishing My nights away in a dreamers daze, until I met you Chorus 1 That's why I'm crazy for you That's why I'd do anything for you Yes I'm so crazy for you That's why I'd do anything for you Verse 2 All these girl and their tattoos, all dressed up in attitude They love it when I make em’ laugh and scream But you're the one I'll sing to sleep Yes I will hold you while you dream Pre-Chorus 2 Cause I've been upon a bar drinking, My days away in a drunken haze, until I met you Chorus 2 That's why I'm crazy for you That's why I'd do anything for you Bridge / Outro You're my truth and resolution, in a world full of delusion Don't know what I would do without you Don't know what I would do cause I love you
3.	Home 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 When I was a little, my mama said, I was too sensitive That’s why she cried all the time But oh how I’ve grown, into this charming man With all these charming plans Cause no one wants to be alone, so I will stick with what I know Chorus 1 Drinking, singing with my friends, writing songs till 3am Forgive me Ma’, it’s all I ever wanted to be I need someone to take my hand, show me that they understand I don’t mind dying trying to find my own way home Verse 2 All of my life I’ve been a lonely man, that's why I always ran From those I should have loved So I took all that pain and put it in six strings And let those holy chords sing the truth That’s all I’ve ever hoped to do, and that’s why I am here with you Chorus 2 Drinking, singing with my friends, writing songs till 3am Forgive me Ma’, it’s all I ever wanted to be I need someone to touch my soul, to be a rock and fit the role I don’t mind dying trying to find my own way home Bridge/Outro So are you going to come outside and play? Cause I don’t wanta go home, no I don’t wanta go home… I just wanta go home …
4.	Ain't That A Shame 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 That night was wild, like a child you told me things with such innocence. To hold you, and scold you, and love you in the morning’s light Pre Chorus 1 All in my head, left for dead, like a wounded wolf without a pack I’d take you, then break you, cause that’s what you loved about me Chorus 1 It’s such a shame, to throw it all away Tell me what do you do when there’s no one but you left to blame Verse 2 All your girlfriends know, your boyfriend knows I’m the one, son of a gun Who shot where you thought you were bullet proof Pre Chorus 2 We were sleeping in my bed, left for dead, like a beautiful and fleeting dream I’d take you, then break you cause that’s what you loved about me Chorus 2 It’s such a shame, to throw it all away Tell me what do you do when there’s no one but you left to blame Bridge In my darkest thoughts I’d hold you tight to the light But you’d rather be comfortably dying, and I just don’t think you see Just how beautiful you are to me Outro All my loving, all my kissing, you don’t know what you’ll be missing Oh girl oh girl, ooh wee…And I just don’t think you see

Chorus 1 I’m holding on so it seems, I come undone at the seams I carry on so it seems, I’m holding on at the seams Verse 1 Like Lennie “Of Mice and Men”, I am doing the best I can I keep rolling on, like a chain gang song, even when… Chorus 2 I’m holding on so it seems, I come undone at the seams I carry on so it seems, I’m holding on at the seams Verse 2 When I was lost, cold and alone Your love warmed me to my bones As the moon shall rise, you ignite my nights, with lavender skies Even when… Chorus 3 I’m holding on so it seems, I come undone at the seams I carry on so it seems, I’m holding on at the seams

7.	Run For Cover Girl 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Aren't you tired of always running, from something or someone? You text me that everything is going great, so why then are you acting so strange I heard you quit your job then skipped out on rent You moved back home now on unemployment Just like your dad, well ain't that grand Pre Chorus 1 You may hate me when you hear this song But aren't you're the one who said to your only friend, “so long”? Verse 2 Why did you leave her stranded and alone? When you're the one that she called 'home' Maybe the real world just got too damn hard Or you figured girl power only goes so far Just like your mom, so sing along Chorus 1 So, so long and goodbye Pre Chorus 2 You may hate me when you hear this song You may say to me "fuck off" But aren't you the one who said to your only true friend, “so long”? Bridge You're such a pretty girl, so run for cover girl, such a clever girl That you've fooled all of your friends, oh except her Yeah you've fooled everyone, except yourself Chorus 2 So, so long and goodbye
8.	Where Did You Sleep Last Night? 03:25	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Lying in my bed I can still smell your scent on my sheets and that’s what’s killing me We always made each other laugh, my best friend and more you were that Until I found out that the joke was on me I wanted to write love songs in your name instead you’re the one who carries the shame Who lost at the cheaters game Chorus 1 Tell me baby, tell me darlin’, where did you sleep last night? Tell me baby, tell me darlin’, remember when I held you tight? Verse 2 I kept my feelings close to my chest because of situations just like this You always wondered why, well now you know Cause to truly found what’s natural and real Like a blooming flower takes time to be revealed So you can say I just had bad timing or I could say you were a selfish bitch Go on baby girl and take your pick Chorus 2 Tell me baby, tell me darlin’, where did you sleep last night? Tell me baby, tell me darlin’, remember when I held you tight? Tell me baby, tell me darlin’, how do you sleep at night?

Verse 1 Build me up, knock me down with that old feeling When we used to believe that loves all you need So hoist me up, smack me around like a drunken clown Waiting for his queue to perform for you Look at us now, look at us now Chorus 1 I just wanta feel love again And look back on the ways of settling When we kiss goodnight, it feels like a chore and a bore And the way that we fight ain't fun anymore Verse 2 The scratches that you used to leave on my chest Showing the world he is mine don't you dare contest Well you know I love you, you know that I do, baby please You know I love you but right now I just wanta leave Look at me now, look at me now Chorus 2 I just wanta feel love again And look back on the ways of settling When we kiss goodnight, it feels like a chore and a bore And the way that we fight ain't fun anymore Yes the way that we fight ain’t fun anymore Bridge I'm bored to death Day after day, again and again and again Outro Spinning round and around on this carousel Once was our amusement, now it’s a living hell Get me off
11.	Sinking Treasures 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Seems like it’s only getting harder to find some sincerity Amongst these grifters, ironic hipsters, their silver spoons and their plastic plates I can see the delta waters rising, selfishness has temporally blinded Us to the fact, that you and I we’re not all that, special, but we are all unique Pre Chorus 1 Are we going down or are we going to grow up? You’re taking too long Chorus 1 So as they chart the course on this sinking ship, destination who gives a shit My heart is aching, the world is breaking and all I keep saying Hurry up, baby please, hurry up, I’m begging you, hurry up, and make up your mind Are you going down with the ship, baby, are we going down is this it? Are we going down or are we going to grow up? Verse 2 Seems like it’s only getting harder to find a little honesty Amongst these whores, thieves and the forgotten Well they’re just called friends to me I can see the muddy waters rising, self-delusion has temporally blinded Us to the fact, that you and I we’re not all that special, yeah we’re all the same Pre Chorus 2 So are we going down? Chorus 2 As they steady the course on this sinking ship, destination who gives a shit My heart is aching, the world is breaking and I keep screaming Hurry up, baby please, hurry up, I’m begging you hurry up and make up your mind Are you going down with the ship, are we going down, is this it? Are we going down or are we going to grow up? Seems like it’s only getting harder to find some sincerity

about

In the summer of 2011, Foxxhound recorded their second full-length album titled ‘Carousel’. It was recorded in four days at Scott Silletta’s living room in Orange, CA. It was mixed by Jon O’Brien. The album’s recording process was inspired by The White Stripes 2001 album, ‘White Blood Cells’. The idea was to capture Foxxhound's live sound without a lot of editing, overdubs, or numerous takes.
