I write this song every six months or so, I only change the tune.
I always knew that it would come crashing through, I never thought it would be so soon.
I've done things that I wish I could take back.
I've promised the world when nothing I had could ever amount to that.
So hell-bent on keeping my bridges unburned, I cried "love" so many times that I don't believe myself when I say "I found the wolf."
I let her rip the flesh from my bones.
I've done things that I wish I could take back.
I've promised the world when nothing I had could ever amount to that.
Where are you now that I'm alone in my room, screaming out loud; begging for some hint of the truth?
Nothing can be done to change the past.
All those nights I spent, I can't get back.
Dresser drawers full of photographs,
and all those times I used to try to make you laugh. While you were staring at your phone, making sure your bed stayed full every night when you turn out the light.
I've done things that I wish I could take back
I promised the world when nothing I had could ever amount to that
You rewrote the book so you could come out on top,
take it off of your shelf, and read it in your coffee shop.
I knew all along that you were lying to me. I held on so long, I just wanted to believe.
Where are you now that I'm alone in my room, screaming out loud; begging for some hint of the truth?

A darker and more expansive album for an already dark and expansive band. You & I is the aural equivalent of moving through the depths of an empty forest at midnight thrownofan
In context of how there is a named syndrome about how difficult second albums are, could this be the only second album where all tracks are better than any on the first full-length? davekillcountysmith
