Taste of What You Love

Taste of What You Love

While I wait to start mixing the new record, the only thing that seems to make me feel better about the pause in working is writing more songs.  So here's a very demo-y demo of a new song I'm working on.  Click the pretty red title above and lemme know what you think. xo.


Taste of What You Love

I was at my sister's house today, we sat out in the yard
Watched her little boy play
She said "This love will break my heart.
How could I ever have thought I knew, knew about life or death?"

Sometimes a taste of what you love is all you're gonna get
Sometimes it just ain't happened yet

I keep a notebook in my shirt
I like to carry it around
I fill it up with all my words
When I can't check out and I can't calm down
They published my poem in the paper
When I was still full of young breath

Sometimes a taste of what you love is all you're gonna get
Sometimes it just ain't happened yet

Sometimes it feels like the whole of my heart is buried in this town
Everyone else went and got a fresh start
And I just went home, lookin' down.

I'm gonna skip my shift tonight
I'm gonna pack what I can't pawn
Leave a rose by my sister's porch light
By the time she finds it, I'll be gone
Cause I just don't know enough, enough about life or death

Sometimes a taste of what you love is all you're gonna get
Sometimes it just ain't happened yet.
