about

This is an old one... written in May 2006. Glad I can finally do it justice.

lyrics

We've been around the houses again, and it's time for me to leave
I think you know it's more than ashes and embers this time
If you want blood then I swear you can have mine
I think you know, I think you know

That this is nothing at all
Just a little stumble
And this is just how it goes
Baby plays around
And everything you're looking for
Is everything I lost I'm sure
You were easy on the eye
But softer on the fist

There's always smoke right before the fire starts
And I never meant it to catch on
You got under my skin, seeing everything within
And your words became the song I try to cast aside
Even putting pen to paper just won't do
Words could never truly capture you

And this is nothing at all
Just a little stumble
And this is just how it goes
Baby plays around
And everything you're looking for
Is everything I lost I'm sure
You were easy on the eye
But softer on the fist

And we pull it all apart, but then we simply carry on
Trying to learn how to smile, how to smile...

That this is nothing at all
Just a little stumble
And this is just how it goes
Baby plays around
And everything you're looking for
Is everything I lost I'm sure
You were easy on the eye
But softer on the fist

You were easy on the eye
But softer on the fist
