Bring Out The Black

from Ship, Sailing by Evertim

/

lyrics

I'm brushing shoulders with the past again,
But those memories are just acquaintances.
Through the crowd, the tap on my shoulder is you,
I could smell you a mile off.

The hazy summer on The Avenue,
Ninety-one tore my body in two.
Just when I had build myself up for you, that June,
You beat me black and blue.

You had my head in the clouds,
Knew that someday I'd come down.
Baby you've fallen so far away,
And I'll never hear you say you need me now.

I spent that summer indoors,
Fighting in the anxiety wars,
You pushed me away,
Blamed myself for letting you down,
Fucking hell, I found out somehow,
That you're no saint.

It brings out the black in your eye,
The shade you threw on me,
Well I'm through with the lies.
And hey, you'll probably never hear these words,
I don't care,
I'm singing for myself this time.

You had my head in the clouds,
Knew that someday I'd come down,
(When I followed all of your voices)
Baby you've fallen so far away,
And I'll never here you say you need me now.

I kept your feet on the ground,
Knew that someday you'd find out,
(Was I only one of your choices?)
Baby I've fallen so far away,
But you'll never hear me say "I need you now".
