And I might have seen the other side Might have given you the smallest bit of sympathy For what you feared and hoped for me inside Did you also look for what was true? Now becoming what we never hoped or meant to be A locker filled with pleasantries Like children lost in things we chose A mockery of all that grows And I hope to be What you meant for me Won’t you bend and break with me? One day, these pent up thoughts are what we’ll say Wearing dreams tacked on by lesson learned so painfully While taking life less personally My God, things change, but I don’t know Why does changing seem so slow to me?

J'adore 05:05
I adore you not because you’re mine I will love you until the end of time If all your thoughts were folded into mine You wouldn’t speak to me, all our flesh combined How does the answer take me to the brink? When does the fighter find his way to me? And I told you I’d never walk away Was left here sitting with not a thing to say Back on the other side is a symphony of pain Playing a fool for me, my sweet, sweet, sweet Melody Back on the road I won’t leave you behind It’s a long, long road that taught me how to survive I’m getting colder as I wash in the tide And you won’t need a kick to fall down for a night You drag it in, you comb your hair, you brush the back of my hand I guess the subtle glance just turned to a stare and I can’t keep pointing to a ghost that no longer exists My secret’s out, I forget what I missed When did your eyes close so tightly? Why did I seem uninviting? Did you not answer me close to my tongue and breathing I felt I was pounding your pulse inside my head over and over again

You, are you, one of those things I will never explain Mouth, shooting off, sharing your mood for over-honest thoughts Just because you say you’re a sinner in every thought You can’t say, whatever hurtful things that you want Of all of these places we thought we would be Surprising, reminding of chats we had of who we meant to be Love, yeah that’s you, don’t be unkind in the things that you do To end, end this fight, takes more than proving who’s wrong or right You are a curious thing (You left me out in the rain out in the rain I was waiting on you) Don’t be unkind in the things that you do (Don’t act like you stayed, I was waiting on you) Come with me, talk but don’t dare make me lie Words aren’t fragile, words tell us why

You’re the polka dots on my cup You’re the aftershave on my shirt You’re the elbow near my side You’re the passenger that I drive You’re the one I’ve got penciled in You don’t mean to cause me chagrin You’re the one I most look forward to You’re the fight and I want to make up with you Love, Lady Love, why do you mourn? Why do you run away to hide the pain? You won’t get far enough to get away from me And heaven’s gates won’t open up without it And you don’t know, no, you don’t want to talk about it You’re the current splashed over me You’re the breath I still need to breath You’re the reason I walk that wire You’re the honey starting my fire And I’ll take a chance on you I’ll move until you don’t move I’ll give all my love to you It’s true, it’s true

Song For You 04:35
Here’s the song for you, dear Here’s the song you wrote with me Nothing is decided Nothing in between Good when things are heavy But bad at life, it seems Live your feast or famine No waiting in between Why do we love all our comedies Right up against all our deepest tragedies? Faster is where you want to go With no place familiar with no one you know The space in between is what we’ll remember most There’s nothing wrong with kindness There’s nothing wrong with being real Just remember sometimes You’re more than what you feel Taking a step is sometimes bold But standing around can help us now I’m told And fragile’s the moment when we choose Whether to live or whether to lose That road down Damascus, I hope that we’ll start off soon
6.
Lay your wounds down ‘Cause I feel fine Hold me close now As a glass of cheap wine I’ll be braver I won’t let you down I’ll do us a favor I’ll get up and leave town Hey what you say, boy? Lay your head down I don’t think you’ll go I know better And you need me now What do you say girl wanna run away girl? Take this hand of mine? I’ll give you everything except the love you need But I’ll do my best to fill that idle time Oh the storms keep washing me away Oh the storms keep washing me away Oh and the storms keep washing me away Washing me, Washing me away

about

Left On Vermont Washington, D.C.

Left On Vermont plays music described as “rock-art with a singer-songwriter’s soul.” Call it indie-pop. Call it alt-folk rock. Whatever it is, they enjoy playing it. L.O.V.’s talented members come from a wide range of artistic backgrounds, which may explain the occasional musical ADD that they’ve been accused of (and are damn proud of, too). So take a listen.... ... more
