Album: Ghosts Of The Past (2011)

Words Of Avoidance

Needle in the back says I love you baby
One was a lion
And the other was a flock of birds
Can't tell my head from my heart much lately
One gets light
And the other falls down like her

And it always seems like the longest dream
When you're all alone
Is he coming home

Round and round and round they fly
The needle dips into the dye and I'm yours
This is just the reason why
The lion dies and no one tries to call

But here comes the rain again
Falling down like words of avoidance
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you

Try to call but no one nobody noticed
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you

Your father left here when you were still ten
With nothing but your brown eyes looking for a painted wing
He said '€œHoney take the kids to your mother's, I
Think I'm gonna lose control and I don't know why'€

And it always seems like the longest dream
When you're all alone
Is he coming home

And here comes the rain again
Falling down like words of avoidance
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you

Try to call but no one nobody noticed
I said you're old enough to know this
And here comes the rain again

He's just running late again
I try to call but no one nobody noticed
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you

Come falling down like words of avoidance
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you

You're old enough to know this
You're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you
You're old enough to know this

You're old enough to know this
You're old enough to know this
You know who you are
