about

It was outside the bar, it was late as hell, everybody was there, and I didn't want to forget it, so I wrote it down. It took a year. One of those songs born from truly needing to write it. woof.

lyrics

Tell your delicate heart to get gone with the stars
It’s not about you and I, and you know that.
Still there’s something you want me to say
But I don’t have a way
To explain what I feel.
And I hear you clicking your heels
So you don’t get to know how I feel.

Who says that I’ve gotta say
Oh everything you want me to say, don’t you know that
We’re a part of this crowd
So we’re gonna leave proud at the end of the night.
Well I won’t lie and you won’t steal,
So I can’t really tell you how I feel.

Later on you’d only be angry, now
Later on you’d only be sad.
Later on you know there’s gonna be other best nights you ever had
And by then
No fool like me should be ringing in your head.

So go on and smile and stomp your feet
Keep on trying to make me weak
But my lips are sealed and they taste
Bittersweet and that ain’t nothing you need

But If I read the signs, and look one last time
They all reveal:
You already know how I feel.

So tell your delicate heart to get gone with the stars
It’s not about you and I.
