Hearsay, Gone Tomorrow

from Every Second Home by For Hours and Ours

lyrics

I kept a safe distance from you as we sat on a downtown street corner, and the laughter from your friends seemed to taunt my lack of words. And when it all died down, my lips would sputter small talk like a faucet I could not close and I drowned in my own-self doubt.

We threw the sheets because the body heat was simply too much to bear. And the cold air from broken vents shook the blinds and I was still uncertain. But your beautiful eyes kept the conversation away from my second-guessing until you left at my plea.

Now everytime I'm in your area, I look for yours in a sea of cars. And sitting lonely in my room I recite all the praise you deserved but I never seemed to deliver on key.

I never should have said goodbye (you were so mistaken).
