Another track that was written early 2009 in the time after releasing our first album. The track came together with many different little parts that Ben had been working on around that time. As the dots connected this song emerged and a basic arrangement was solidified in Port Coquitlam BC. The final arrangement was recorded in 2012 in Calgary AB.
lyrics
There's no two ways about this now...
My heart is busted.
My face was a frown.
I loved a girl yeah...
She had my heart bound.
I could not run and I would not leave town.
Yeah... I'm better now.
It's hard to read when the pages were turned.
Two books exchanged brother, two stories heard.
And a bridge of matchsticks...
is a bridge that only burns.
Ha Ha Hey Hey I got the last word.
I put it in a song... haven't you heard?
Haven't you heard?
The bird is the word.
And your word... your word is burnt.
Haven't you heard? Heard? Heard?
I find you absurd?
But it's true...
Straight up truth.
True - straight up truth.
True - straight up truth about you.
Straight up truth, yeah...
What you gonna do shoot it?
Son I've been sitting here listening to your tales
of heartbreak and betrayal.
My heart goes out to you... but you gotta let your pain sail.
You can't wear your heart on your sleeve it only leads to
treachery and failure.
And it's a hard lesson in life but if you learn it - it'll save you.
I'm not your savior.
Who's gonna save you.
I'm not your savior.
Who's gonna save you.
I'm not your savior.
Who's gonna save you.
