Oil and Water
from Beauty In Entropy by Samuel Davidson
about
Dedicated to Erica.
lyrics
Bird you got me so confused
Don’t know what I was thinking
When I dreamt away about me and you
Deep into your arms I’d be sinking
Used to light my shadowed ways
Now you tear me down then turn the page
Used to be my safest place
But like our chapter, it’s been erased
I’ll be forever wondering what went wrong
So unfair is your solution
Got me wishing you threw sticks and stones
To replace your elocution
You are oil and I am water
Can’t help but push me farther away
Opened up to you my tender side
All the wounds I have and try to hide
Your heart was cold and with disdain
Left mine wishing you where gone again
Fly away and save us both
Your seasons come and gone now
It hurts too much, so go on home
Don't want to see you here next time around
Oh, what your love can bring
Only despondent misery
It was only a matter of time
Before our separation was defined by your line
Bird, I’ll tell you where to go
Fly south, it’s warmer there
You ought to know by now
Don’t know what I was thinking
When I dreamt away about me and you
Deep into your arms I’d be sinking
Used to light my shadowed ways
Now you tear me down then turn the page
Used to be my safest place
But like our chapter, it’s been erased
I’ll be forever wondering what went wrong
So unfair is your solution
Got me wishing you threw sticks and stones
To replace your elocution
You are oil and I am water
Can’t help but push me farther away
Opened up to you my tender side
All the wounds I have and try to hide
Your heart was cold and with disdain
Left mine wishing you where gone again
Fly away and save us both
Your seasons come and gone now
It hurts too much, so go on home
Don't want to see you here next time around
Oh, what your love can bring
Only despondent misery
It was only a matter of time
Before our separation was defined by your line
Bird, I’ll tell you where to go
Fly south, it’s warmer there
You ought to know by now
