Lyrics:
What have I done
With my heart on the floor
I must be out of my mind
To come back begging for more
But if you stay
And if you just stay for the night
Swear that I'm yours
And I'll prove that I'm right
And these flies kept me sleeping
For my fear's on their wings
And your grandfather clock is still ticking
But the chime never rings
And how long must I stay
Will I lay by your side
Just to say that I'm yours
Oh, and you'll never be mine
With this love like a hole
Swallowed my soul
Dragging me down
There's blood on the covers
From curses we uttered
To each other
You played your part in this
Oh, I played hide-and-go-seek
Safe behind your veneer
Does it bury your burden baby
Makes it all disappear
But those marks on your thighs
Don't they sting when you bleed
It's the way that you are
And the way I'll forever be
When this love like a hole
Swallowed my soul
Dragging me down
There's blood on the covers
From curses we uttered
To each other
You played your part
When this love like a hole
Swallowed my soul
Dragging me down
And I swear I'll stay with you
But I just can't forgive you
And I'll never be whole again

The most painfully beautiful song I have heard in years. Ahh The PAIN of LOVE. Raw and damn near perfect

[@joalbertbarasona582]

Every now and then, i still come here. The second voice is subtle but does so much. 👌

[@idontlikegoogleplusstopmak7971]

One day I'll get sick of watching this video over and over. Today is not that day......tomorrow isn't likely.

[@lisadunning1643]

Still for me five years later!

[@MissDenaPDX]

no you won't :)

[@willduzenski1653]

You and me both

[@lildevilz247]

Agreed.

[@emekao502]

Yeah it’s been about 5 years and this is still one of my favorite songs ever written.

[@theodorepilnyii5935]

This is better than any overproduced music video. These guys sound amazing no matter where they sing and it is fantastic to see the reaction on people's faces when they are listening to truly great music.

[@krisjonathangorre5081]

dec 1 2023... who's still listening to this?

[@starseedmatrix]

I wish I could tattoo this song on my soul

[@UNOMINATTi]

Facts!

[@YunoSenti]

Felt!!

[@Monti3395]

The guy @5:15 at the end of the train made me laugh so hard :D

[@juliusdelacruz5823]

Me too! "I only got two tears!" Lol

[@dianadahham7635]

Cant believe he sounds better live than the actual recording of this song! this is so rare for the artists these days. Sooo much love he is a true artist!

[@Hyacinthhh]

First song I ever learned on guitar. Been playing religiously ever since.

[@Rumkeonerism]

I saw these guys at bunbury 2014 and instantly fell in love and to this day they still impact my life

[@lordseph]

This song and the way he sings it breaks my heart every single time I listen to this. So powerful.

[@wvirgil]

Love this song, touches home every time, the guy whistle kinda made it better,

[@LaciJean]

This song has steadily been in my soul for years. Brought me back to my hometown of SD when I was stuck in AZ, and now being back home in SD, it's still calling out to me 💜✨️ Going through it and it hits the feels. Thank you!

[@jasondawson8754]

Filmed in my Home town Good ol San Diego Cali baby🤙❤💛💚

[@willduzenski1653]

These guys have extremely deep lyrics I think have profound effects on all who listen. One of THE most soulful voices in my time for sure

[@Livinthatlenslife]

For 5 years, this song has got me through the hardest of times. I remember loving this performance and finding the studio version a month later. Dowloaded right away. I love the feeling and emotion and lyrics from this song and enjoy singing my heart out to it. Thanks to A Red Trolley Show for putting us on to some really underground and great artists

[@miggy_dlan]

take pride in knowing them when they were just the Ambassadors

[@UNOMINATTi]

Yes!

[@allyandthefriendlyfox5651]

where is this these guys amaze me and my eight year old son loves their music

[@agnes2723]

Here you have the lyrics: What have I done With my heart on the floor I must be out of my mind To come back begging for more But if you stay And if you just stay for the night Swear that I'm yours And I'll prove that I'm right And these flies kept me sleeping For my fear's on their wings And your grandfather clock is still ticking But the chime never rings And how long must I stay Will I lay by your side Just to say that I'm yours Oh, and you'll never be mine With this love like a hole Swallowed my soul Dragging me down There's blood on the covers From curses we uttered To each other You played your part in this Oh, I played hide-and-go-seek Safe behind your veneer Does it bury your burden baby Makes it all disappear But those marks on your thighs Don't they sting when you bleed It's the way that you are And the way I'll forever be When this love like a hole Swallowed my soul Dragging me down There's blood on the covers From curses we uttered To each other You played your part When this love like a hole Swallowed my soul Dragging me down And I swear I'll stay with you But I just can't forgive you And I'll never be whole again.

[@ambrose-zamolodchikova]

God, I love this band.

[@tophern7009]

What a great version. I've always loved this song. So many ways to interpret the lyrics. I love that the passenger next to Sam on the train in wearing a TOOL shirt! Ha 🤟 brilliant!!

[@Ozone416]

Fucking love this version.

[@melkormorgoth9022]

I knew when She sent me this Dark Gift I would never be the same again:(

[@whoisawful]

they are so talented and I love Sam's voice, Listening to their music non-stop.

[@satviksingh9402]

This song will be with my heart forever, even after my death

[@YunoSenti]

best damn version

[@crazydrunk88]

Do you think so? I ask because this is the video that introduced me to the band a few years ago. I was just picking random videos on this channel with pretty high views and decided to watch this one, I'm glad that I did.

[@YunoSenti]

yes...it's soooo much raw emotion and the harmony makes it so much more intense.

[@YunoSenti]

and how dope is it that they are on the metro!!

[@crazydrunk88]

+Val Duvall yeah, playing on the train is pretty cool, I wish the band will make a proper acoustic version of the song though.

[@howardforresterjr6764]

Hell yeah

[@nugomt7]

This song and his pain sum up my life right now!❤️

[@nottherealyui]

15 dislikes are the people who didn't give their love back to the person who loved them.

[@difordepp7967]

Amen to that 😢

[@vhonch]

I feel every bit of his pain. I sent this song to my ex and I never heard from him again.

[@approd3904]

Her*

[@godfaithfamilythenme]

omg, after 6 times I'm teared up lol

[@LNClubsTheaters]

We love this playlist!

[@stemarcari]

is it just me pr the couple at 2:40 looks like the song really hits them... like it really made them think xD This is my favorite song ever, the best damn song in the entire world. I wish they get more recognition from the public and awards, cause they are geniuses :)

[@ARedTrolleyShow]

Still one of our all-time favs!

[@Tw1tchyyy]

I thought that the first few times I watched it. You kinda watch that mood settle over everyone the camera passes over, that's my favorite part of this video/this song

[@chris59newyork]

His voice.....

[@howardforresterjr6764]

These guys are awesome favorite band ever!

[@avarice2849]

For anyone wondering, the next song they mentioned at the end is a cover of I was young when I left home by bob Dylan. Hope this helped :)

[@coryrobertwill5]

Christie Winkelman here is the other song they sang on that trip! Sorry it took so long to reply to you but I just saw this comment! Thank you for the support for A Trolley Show :-) X Ambassadors - I Was Young When I Left Home (Bob Dylan cover) - A Trolley Show

[@princeosceola9637]

[@sr1129]

I noticed that Taylor guitar sponsors these vids, comment retracted :P

[@carlgomes7515]

thats powerful

[@_manudh]

woah they are amazingggg!

[@SchaefferNuts]

its a shame that beautiful music like this only has 100k in view while so-called music by Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber has millions.

[@ARedTrolleyShow]

Thanks for watching! If only we had the same budged as Taylor and Justin to promote our videos!

[@ivanat.1168]

Well, at least this kind of music has fans that listen to this religiously even after 4 yrs, I don't believe Taylor fans know the name of the song she has published in 2017, let alone listen to it

[@brownkidisbrown]

Too real.🥀👌

[@misterBrown415]

really awesome concept!!! sounds amazing. Love it!

[@ARedTrolleyShow]

Thank you, Benson! We release 2 new episodes every month, hope to see you around here more often!

[@josemiguelmartinez1184]

[@glooer]

anymore from this show???? come on they said they were doing another one!

[@dididubalier2196]

the girl next to him was looking for a place to hide xd

[@kjcho80486]

I think it's the announcements for the trolley stops.

[@NatsCapsSkinsWiz]

Great to see them on here. I saw them open for Imagine Dragons in Boca, and they gained a new fan that night. Any chance you upload the second song?

[@christiewinkelman4003]

Good question, I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone know what the second song is on "A Trolley Show" is.?? If any body knows, or can find out, please post it.....The quest is on.....I will also try to find out, and in the case I happen to find it, I will definitely let you know.!!!

[@allyandthefriendlyfox5651]

amazing where is this

[@thomasfelton5128]

That was real.

[@Linogewillkillallofy]

I wish there was only one camera dude/gal, without people knowing. This is freaking amazing, but people got shy because of the cameras.

[@CripAyyLmao]

that shy socially awkward lesbian tho lol

[@AlwaysRetr0]

Definitely regretted sitting there that day

[@kjcho80486]

But I agree....turn that shit off. No one would want to get off this trolley anyway. I'd miss my stop to hear this, 1000%

[@lizvanburen5308]

For those who were looking for the second song, I think this is it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIizdaqnbqh2j5I

[@tita4ewaz]

The girl in the Tool shirt is like wtf. Lol

[@bineverlast]

[@OhHenrie1]

[@sr1129]

Did he seriously opt for a taylor over the vintage gibbo? Must have been interscopes doing -_- lolol

[@jerichogonzales3210]

Thank you, random guy at 5:15 for making an even more random noise and ruining the beauty of the song.

[@Linogewillkillallofy]

Yeah still trying to look gangster because of camera

[@ryanmullins2103]

I felt bad for the lead guitar, he was out of tune and off timing. bless him.

[@allyandthefriendlyfox5651]

where is this these guys amaze me and my eight year old son loves their music
