strawman - the northern folk lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]

i know it’s bit of a poor stance
i built a strawman from your words
but i was only ever trying to hold ground, not to hurt

and it must have been the seventh call
’cause one through six were a free for all
we were both so quick to find sh*t to assert

and i was off my head on a foldout bed
on the mezzanine in my brothers shed
you said you needed me like bleeding on the brain

it took much too long to think that through
’cause i thought maybe that you need me too
instead i crawled home and told you that i’d changed

[chorus 1]

you see, i dream in black and white
but i lack the fight and i lack the stones
what’s the good in being right and left alone?

[verse 2]
sometimes my mind gets taken back
to the conversation that we once had
about all the ways that love makes us insane

and we’ve trod this road ten times before
and each implosion showed me more
still we resort to doing things the same

[chorus 2]

you see, i dream in black and white
but i lack the fight and i lack the stones
what’s the good in being right and left alone?

and i watched fruit die on the vine
’cause i lack the spine to taste what’s grown
but that lets a lot of spoiled seeds get sown

[chorus 3]

now i’m a fistful of old percocet
and a purpose yet to grow
just a thriving line of loves that i bemoan

you see, i dreamt of you in white
but i lacked the fight and i lacked the stones
like the night you read my rights and left alone
