lyrics

Him:
I've never been the best with words
But I can see the one you're holding hurts
I'm not the one who built the lie
I'm not the one who said goodbye
Okay, I am the one who said goodbye
But yours was sunny and mine was a rainy sky
I thought I knew the place you had in mind
So I got there faster
I got there faster
I got there faster

I've never been the best with wine
But the way you sip your glass looks like a sign
You grew a smile, I grew a frown
At least I'm not the one who cut yours down
Perhaps I am the one who cut it down
I was harsh in gaining all that ground
I thought I knew where both of us were bound
So I got there faster
I got there faster
I got there faster

Her:
Where'd you go in such a hurry?
You have always been faster than me

Him:
But I've never been the best of men
If you have doubt, I'll prove it all again
But I'm not what set off the alarm
I'm not the one who bruised your arm
Am I the one who bruised your arm?
Well, simple lies cause complicated harm
I thought I knew where all the blame had gone
So I got there faster
I got there faster
I got there faster
I was so much faster (Where'd you go?)
I was so much faster
I can run much faster (Where'd you go?)
I ran so much faster
And I got there faster (Where'd you go?)

As a performer, his "soulful vocal stylings compliment confessional lyrics that border on literary greatness." With a sound in the middle of David Bowie and Cat Stevens, you might call him an alternative-folk-rock singer, but who really knows? ... more
