Hippo Campus - boyish lyrics
[Hippo Campus - boyish lyrics]
Our stucco arms are forever tied loose
Your velvet touch sends me back to the moon
Daddy's coming home but
Momma's looking guilty
Brother's in the basement 'til he's thirty
Wolf child's heavy with the
Weight of the world
Storing all his love in an adolescent girl
There's sunlight dripping off
The apricot tree
Lost to the night tide growing in me
Singing to the drunks like
They're mom and dad
All we ever knew is what we didn't have
Never really knew if I did something wrong
All I ever heard was "it wasn't my fault"
(Oh, oh) but what good is truth
If you don't understand
Nothing but a pair of calloused hands?
(Oh, oh)
There's sunlight dripping off
The apricot tree
Lost to the night tide growing in me
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya i’ve been saying
Singing to the drunks like
They're mom and dad
All we ever knew is what we didn't have
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya i’ve been saying
There's sunlight dripping off
The apricot tree
Lost to the night tide living in me
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya i’ve been saying
There's sunlight dripping off
The apricot tree
Lost to the night tide growing in me
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya i’ve been saying
Singing to the drunks like
They're mom and dad
All we ever knew is what we didn't have
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya i’ve been saying
Your velvet touch sends me back to the moon
Daddy's coming home but
Momma's looking guilty
Brother's in the basement 'til he's thirty
Wolf child's heavy with the
Weight of the world
Storing all his love in an adolescent girl
There's sunlight dripping off
The apricot tree
Lost to the night tide growing in me
Singing to the drunks like
They're mom and dad
All we ever knew is what we didn't have
Never really knew if I did something wrong
All I ever heard was "it wasn't my fault"
(Oh, oh) but what good is truth
If you don't understand
Nothing but a pair of calloused hands?
(Oh, oh)
There's sunlight dripping off
The apricot tree
Lost to the night tide growing in me
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya i’ve been saying
Singing to the drunks like
They're mom and dad
All we ever knew is what we didn't have
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya i’ve been saying
There's sunlight dripping off
The apricot tree
Lost to the night tide living in me
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya i’ve been saying
There's sunlight dripping off
The apricot tree
Lost to the night tide growing in me
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya i’ve been saying
Singing to the drunks like
They're mom and dad
All we ever knew is what we didn't have
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya
I’ve been saying to ya i’ve been saying
