lyrics

Digging in the dirt
Started playing with fire
Everyone adored you
Everywhere we'd go
I was so proud
It was difficult I guess
But I wouldn't call it work
Wouldn't give you nothing less
Wasn't much, but it was love
For what its worth
Hush beautiful boy
I don't mean that as a threat
I love you, I love you, I love you
You were different and it fit you
So I knew you'd have to go
This will always be where you are from
Not always where you'll grow
Have you got everything you need?
Is there anything that you want?
I only want you to be happy
Because you don't know
You don't know
What you mean to me
In the beginning there was distance
But now it doesn't seem so far
I'd tell you if you'd only listen
But I know you and I know
Thats not who you are
Digging in the dirt
Starting playing with that fire
Burned a hole right through your soul
The death of your desire
You've got everything you need
You've got everything you want
I'd buy you mockingbirds and diamond rings
Because you don't know
You don't know
What you mean to me
You don't know
You can't know
What you are to me

A moment ago this didn't exist and POW! Here it is. An enigmatic cartoon stumbled in from the wilderness claiming to have utilized wasted time wood-shedding songs from inside a vacuum. An insular world where locals talk about the weather, sports and who died. I want to talk about bigger things...and girls! ... more
