lyrics

Like a wake I am rolling smoother
Than the furious ocean tide
I think that we should get moving if you want to make it tonight

You’re a canvas that is barely painted
But you’re such a pretty sight
Just add some pinks and yellows if you want to make it bright

When I said yes
I’d let you go
I brought my best
You brought your woes

And I’m so tired
Of these charades
I brought my best
You never changed

Like clothing that is on vacation
From your body and its strict lines
You try make an alteration when it’s fitting perfectly fine

It’s a baby that is barely breathing
It’s hard to see the little sighs
I wanted something to believe in
When I looked into your eyes

When I said yes
I’d let you go
I brought my best
You brought your woes

And I’m so tired
Of these charades
I brought my best
You never changed

When we had dared to dream of the things we’d be
They were just circumstances of what we’d seen

When all the lights went out on us in the barn
You put your arms around me until it was dawn

When we had dared to dream of the things we’d be
They were just circumstances of what we’d seen

When all the lights went out on us in the barn
You put your arms around me until it was dawn
