Artist The Long Winters
did you say what you wanted said?
and now youre just putting the days to bed
young actors want to play and play
and youll play
but youre working
call applicants and stole cornering them
were all waiting for the big day
if you feel crazy that youre still crazy
it hasnt happened for a few days
well just wait
in hindsight youre gonna wish you were here
you keep scratching at the old paint
but the wood is still there
and the room is still there
if youre trying to feel the wind
well thats a window youre pressed against
you never told me your secrets
so i guess they stayed safe with me
tall orders from such small shoulders
and invitations on blue paper
but im bailing water and bailing water
cause i like the shape of the boat
you asked me and i told you
and you asked me and i told you and i told you
in hindsight youre gonna wish you were here
you keep scratching at the old paint
but the wood is still there
and the room is still there
if youre my anchor then im throwing you over the side
before i have the time to say
i never wanted anyone this way
but im smoking cigarettes when no one else does
and if i hold you now will i be holding a snowball
when the season changes and im craving the sun?
are you still training for the big race
by hoping the runners will die?
churning the words of your disgrace
but its how you are when youre down that counts
and you know were a good thing
its been a long time since you said
put down your camera and let me ask you
is this new move just to keep moving?
in hindsight youre gonna wish you were here
you keep scratching at the old paint
but the wood is still there
and the room is still there
if i kiss you now like sun streaming in a taverns door
would you wonder what im kissing you for?
