Lyrics I'll Be Damned - Pianos Become The Teeth

I'll Be Damned

Maybe, maybe you saw your mother, maybe she’s smiling
She hears your catching laughter, she’s missed your charm
We never made it to Cooperstown but I’ve still got that glove under my bed
Maybe I’ll see you
We could shoot the shit, finally have a beer, finally have a catch
But for now it’s catch my tears, it’s catch my breath
I can just hear you say
«Come on bud, get out of that funk, it’s time to move on.»
It’s funny how you still apply, you still know me
I try to take your tools and make something worthwhile, try to make you proud
I’ve learned nothing is promised anymore
But I’ll let you resonate
I’ll let you resonate
Maybe your Heaven is that Norman Rockwell scene
Where you and your friends are singing that Gordon Lightfoot song
«If you could only read my mind»
If you could only read my mind
Read my mind
Well that ending, it was just too hard to take
Is it better than Clapton?
Did you see your father’s eyes?
I know it’s wishful thinking hoping this won’t always kill me
But if you saw yours, then I’ll see mine
You finally stretched your feet and ghosted away from me
You had to leave
You had to fade away, you had to fade away, you had to fade away
You had to fade away, you had to leave
I’m pleading for one more time with what I know now
And I’m begging for the same flake to fall twice for the first time
I’m begging for what wasn’t said
That night the snow shaped the land and I walked home
I laughed the whole way cause I suppose if it hurts it’s worth it
But now that ghost is me
