Lyrics

Boyish

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Our stucco arms are forever tied loose

Your velvet touch sends me back to the Moon

Daddy's coming home but mammas looking guilty

Brothers in the basement till he's thirty

Wolf child's heavy with the weight of the world

Storing all his love in an adolescent girl

There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree

Lost to the night tide growing in me

Singing to the drunks like they're mom and dad

All we ever knew is what we didn't have

Never really knew if I did something wrong

All I ever heard was it wasn't my fault

But what good is truth if you don't understand

Nothing but a pair of calloused hands?

There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree

Lost to the night tide growing in me

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

Singing to the drunks like our momma did

All we ever knew is what we didn't have

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree

Lost to the night tide growing in me

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree

Lost to the night tide growing in me

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

Singing to the drunks like our momma did

All we ever knew is what we didn't have

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya
