lyrics

I will speak slowly so that you will listen
I’ll talk clearly so that you are sure to understand
Cause I’ve destroyed my fair share of bushes
Beating around them in a one-sided romance

And if this is a game I never got the instructions
Cause I’m sure I’ve broken a rule or two
And my mouth has become quite the obstruction
A broken bridge that never got me to you

So let me explain
That when you don’t say anything
You say the most
And it’s harder to get over a ghost

And I hope the metaphor wasn’t too daunting
But I will break it down line by line
You’re the ghost and your silence has been haunting
My songs and my words, rhyme by rhyme

And if you want to know how you can fix it
Put an end to this smug, bitter tune
You got a mouth, and I suggest you open it
Grab your guns and and make sure you fire soon

So let me explain
That when you don’t say anything
You say the most
And it’s harder to get over a ghost

Let me try once more to clarify
I’m only just asking for a goodbye
Cause waiting for me to bleed is a dirty deed indeed
And I ask why, won’t you let it die

Ruts and Weeds Provo, Utah

It's kinda like trying to play Iggy Pop on the banjo. But not really.
