lyrics

WE ONCE WAS

Somebody gonna tell you a story
You can see for yourself
If you believe it see if you believe it
In whole or in part
In whole or in part

Single file no do-si-do
We walk alone it’s what we know
It’s what we do our whole life through

We try so really hard to work it through
We’re pickin’ out the shards which pierce us two
It’s what we do until we’re through

That’s what you say
Like you gonna stay
But we wonder
Yea we gotta wonder
What goes on
What goes on

I ain’t so hard when it comes to you
I ain’t so really tough when it comes to you
All I know is when I’m with you
I glow

Who’s got the will and who’s got the arms
For all this heavy lifting
Who got the will and who got the arms
For all the heavy gifting

You come over my house you take over my couch
You think you never hurt me cuz I never say ouch

Baby it’s true you’re still singing to me
Baby it’s true and maybe we’ll see
Maybe we’ll see

We wake at night and wish for sleep
We pray alone our souls to keep
When we go blue until no more you

We try so really hard to work it through
We’re pickin’ out the shards which pierce us two
It’s what we do until we’re through

I ain’t so hard when it comes to to you
I ain’t so really tuff when it comes to you
And maybe that’s enough
Hard and tough enough
