lyrics

Took me out on a blacklisted morning
Took me out of our collective disappointment
Tore the page of the words that I adored in
Took me out of a year spent in mourning

We won’t talk about how
We won’t ever buy a house

Saw the way you were asking me for more and
Saw the way my words kept feeling foreign
You asked me why the future seemed so boring
You asked me why and were stuck here in mourning

We won’t talk about how
I will always let you down

Cause all we know is the world keeps on turning
And all we know is it’ll keep on burning
It’s kinda dark that all our friend won’t have children
It’s kinda dark but we can’t mourn for the worlds end

We won’t talk about how
We won’t ever see this out

Put my hand in the dirt and I’ll
Figure this out
I'm gonna figure this out
Won’t you come join me here and I’ll
Figure this out
I’m gonna buy a big house

Took me out on a blacklisted morning
Took me out of our collective disappointment
I wrote the page of the words that I adored you in
It took me out of a year spent in mourning

It doesn’t matter to much now
We will never buy that house

Honest & uninhibited, Ben's guitar and voice move effortlessly and unreservedly from sweet to insistent to ecstatic. No posturing, no pretense. His heart is wide-open here -- as in youth. jobo3208
