lyrics
False words were true
Spreading out and sifting through
Fallen leafs leave helpless trees
When it gets cold
Humming blank sounds
Of the hallways leading down
To the place that makes you wonder
(If you had to, could you give it up?)
Like the changing seasons colors slowly weaving knots
Could you give it up?
Cause I’ve been thinking of cutting off all my ties
And just disappearing and starting a brand new life
Where the sun sets three hours behind
Winds crisp and thin
Chap my lips and bite my skin
Wrapping me in memories
But I think I’d rather forget them oh
(If you had to, could you give it up?)
Like the changing seasons colors slowly weaving knots
Could you give it up?
Cause I’ve been thinking of cutting off all my ties
And just disappearing and starting a brand new life
Where the sun sets three hours behind.
Spreading out and sifting through
Fallen leafs leave helpless trees
When it gets cold
Humming blank sounds
Of the hallways leading down
To the place that makes you wonder
(If you had to, could you give it up?)
Like the changing seasons colors slowly weaving knots
Could you give it up?
Cause I’ve been thinking of cutting off all my ties
And just disappearing and starting a brand new life
Where the sun sets three hours behind
Winds crisp and thin
Chap my lips and bite my skin
Wrapping me in memories
But I think I’d rather forget them oh
(If you had to, could you give it up?)
Like the changing seasons colors slowly weaving knots
Could you give it up?
Cause I’ve been thinking of cutting off all my ties
And just disappearing and starting a brand new life
Where the sun sets three hours behind.

about
Billy Libby Brooklyn, New York
Billy grew up with photos of The Beatles hung up about the house as if they were family members, and began singing before he could even really talk. He spent most of his life in Portland, Maine; hopping along the rocky coast in the summer, and cooped up with a guitar during the frigid winters, and now lives in Brooklyn, NY. ... more
