lyrics

Fool For Too Long
I've been the fool
for too long
it keeps me
from moving on
it's been so long
since you've been seen
you forgot
that you're around
even the dust looks good
in your shade
there is no bad
in you

there are places
we need to go
alone
meet me
by your side
even if this can't last
I wanna
start
with you
my best friend
even your brightest moods
feel blue
and your darkest minds
feel bright
always kind

I've been the fool
for too long
I wanna hide out
in our love
watching our dreams
grow too big
time keeps
moving
on
I wanna stay
stuck with you
writing over
the writing
on the walls
"Love forever"
I'm not
the fool
today

dull unrelenting
numbness
keeping us
from our sky's dream
if we could just
fall back asleep
and picture all
the magic
your fingers weave
elating all
the children we are

no matter how
clean
I get
I can't keep these dreams
from turning into sweet
almost memories
I can't recover
all we lose
through a hole
in us
filling up
with emptiness
it's easier
to make
you let me go
than to let you
down

no shore is West enough
can't lose it in the woods
closeness
of the open sea
hell is standing next to me
I can't move at all
No shore is West enough
can't lose it in the woods
no star
shines long enough
Heaven's close enough to breathe
but I can't leave
this dead end life
staying stuck
with you

Way back East
we never had to move
all we did was dream
safe inside our love
and that
was just enough
that was just enough

about

High Pony Brooklyn, New York

Never in style but never played out either. Honesty, rawness, sincerity and real instruments are always pretty cool.
