from the EP of the same name. Circa 2011.
One of my first attempts at a traveling-long distance love song about being on the road and trying not to miss someone.
for a person long gone and long behind me. Sorry, McCall. Sorry for everything. Hope you're well.
lyrics
I’ve got these dreams tugging on my sleeve
Stretch and span 10000 football fields
Where the gridiron is the only church
Picked up a drawl
Found someone to lift up my disease
You are with me and for once it doesn’t hurt
(CHORUS)
Its sad its sweet
You here with me
And the korean war memorial
Somewhere back I lost those seeds
Same place back home where I left my knees
In the cold cold ground
Somewhere my heart broke from my soul
We live separate but we love each other so
You’re with me but for once you’re not around
-CHORUS-
I”ve got these cracks in my head
Where the light and the water and the wind can rush on through
These towns they reek of a hundred dumpsters
But I caught a wind and it kissed like you.
Its sad its sweet
You here with me
In a moaning graveyard
Its sad its sweet
It's you and me
…and the korean war memorial
