Tiny Vessels
Rediscovered this one on Pandora today; such a pretty song.. Or maybe pretty isn’t the best way to describe it. Hmmm.. emotionally acrid? Yeah.
This is the moment that you know I spent two weeks in Silverlake I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking, Tiny vessels oozed into your neck All I see are dark grey clouds So one last touch and then you’ll go
That you told her that you loved her but you don’t.
You touch her skin and then you think
That she is beautiful but she don’t mean a thing to me.
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don’t mean a thing to me.
The California sun cascading down my face
There was a girl with light brown streaks,
And she was beautiful but she didn’t mean a thing to me.
Yeah, she was beautiful but she didn’t mean a thing to me.
As we moved together in the dark
And all the friends that I was telling
All the playful misspellings
and every bite I gave you left a mark
And formed the bruises
That you said you didn’t want to fade
But they did, and so did I that day
In the distance moving closer with every hour
So when you ask “Is something wrong?”
I think “You’re damn right there is but we can’t talk about it now.
No, we can’t talk about it now.”
And we’ll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile, and it was cheap
and you are beautiful but you don’t mean a thing to me
yeah you are beautiful but you don’t mean a thing to me
