lyrics

Steel Wool

Its not for a lack of understanding but at fault of my once steady hands
I know you know not what I mean but I’d like to teach you braille
So Maybe then you could feel the words that I say

Before you leave them behind
Before you leave it all behind

My words got me into trouble again when I left them with you in July
And I lied when I said that I’d take it all back because it’s you that left too soon
Now that you’re gone I’ll tell you that I meant every word
When nothings really changed and it’s been
Nothings really changed and it’s been
When nothings really changed now a month’s gone by

These cool winds replaced the lavender in my window
Even wide oaks blush and let their clothes fall to the floor
So I roll up my sweater sleeves steel wool linens from the attic
Climbing walls ‘til they break and I’ll look for a fix like an addict

My words got me into trouble again when I left them with you in July
And I lied when I said that I’d take it all back because it’s you that left too soon
Now that you’re gone I’ll tell you that I meant every word
When nothings really changed and it’s been
Nothings really changed and it’s been
When nothings really changed now a season’s gone by

I reached the coast by eventide these cliffs were too weak to be tormented by the sea
Now sands just strong enough to hold me
I know you’re too strong to hold me now so if we cross paths again

I’ll say the words I screamed in silence
From the moment I found you

My words got me into trouble again when I left them with you in July
And I lied when I said that I’d take it all back because it’s you that left too soon
Now that you’re gone I’ll tell you that I meant every word
And I know I as wrong but you know that I meant every word
When nothings really changed and it’s been
Nothings really changed and it’s been
Nothings really changed now I’ve spent a lifetime
