lyrics

It's always something with you isn't it?
You look every single horse in the mouth
That you can find.

Just think of the times when you loved it and I know that you did.
I used to love your stupid smile, and the names that you'd call me
And you always called me

I never got the chance to redeem myself
You sit engraving my words so that they're set in stone

And holding your hand, with that delicate touch, never let me go
Keep your friends close, your enemies closer, your lovers on top of you

Because the best place to hide is in plain sight.
Your silence never backs up your lies
You had your chance, you had your shot
I never had mine

Just think of the times you held it in
How was I to know
What could I have known?
What could you have shown?
What do you really have to lose but me?

And it's not like you'd never resurface,
Maybe you don't realize,
Maybe I don't know a single thing about myself,
But you sure do, and you never clue me in
Never straight answers, just tune me out

Well I'm sick of me, and I'm sick of you
I'm tired of all this drama and I'm tired of this abuse
Is this what you want? Is this all you want?
As I know I've heard you say yourself
I don't really know what you're doing here.
I don't really know what you're doing with me.

(so this is it...)
(it's always something)

Pete Davis recommends:

Songs For A Solstice
by Garrett Botkins

Garrett has a really great sense of melody; I very often find myself thinking I would have chosen the exact same chords for his songs, or am jealous I didn't think of them first. Pete Davis

Oh, These Indistinct Years of You.
by Schedule of No Plan

Nick Steinborn, guitarist of the Wonder Years, has lots of recording experience. He also has lots of great ideas and a loop pedal. He's also a friend of mine. He'd be my first pick for dream band. Pete Davis
