Skipping - Ian Post

I remember myself going to your house How we painted the walls as if they were ours It's on me How to carry myself It's on me To carry myself But how can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna see me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? Is it just me doubting the unknown? Great minds or great hearts, great souls? It's on me How to carry myself It's on me To carry myself But how can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna see me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? Maybe I'm your skipping stone Maybe I'm your skipping stone Maybe I'm your skipping stone Maybe I'm your skipping stone

He said I'm a work of art I'll let you sip down on my heart while I drink nothing Mark my words again 'til I find you Oh you I think so too He's got that smile Oh so cute like tile Some come to go How will I ever know? Why do you always know? Honey bee, why are you so sweet? What do you see inside? Why don't you eat me alive? That's when I started That's when I started to fall back down How will I ever know? Why do you always know? Honey bee, why are you so sweet? What do you see inside? Why don't you eat me alive?

When I woke up I was older than that I was colder than that But I'm finding the groove Roll out of bed... grab my coat and my hat Say goodbye, and that's that And I'm making my move Concrete and sidewalk skipping the cracks So I won't be guilty about breaking your back Breathe in the air it's a bright sunny day and it's my getaway I don't care if I'm lost And I don't really miss you and I don't even feel bad When you said you would see just how you felt I wasn't even mad And it's only when someone asks me That I'm reminded of your silly face And the stack of vinyl records you left at my place When I went out I was bolder than that In my red Stetson hat Talking back being crude Rolling me home in a cab with a phone And I'm happy alone without hearing from you Concrete and sidewalk skipping the cracks So I won't be guilty about breaking your back Laughing at how I am still nowhere near Getting rid of my fear but I'm finding the groove And I don't really miss you and I don't even feel bad When you said you would see just how you felt I wasn't even mad And it's only when someone asks me That I'm reminded of your silly face And the stack of vinyl records you left at my place And I don't really miss you and I don't even feel bad When you said you would see just how you felt I wasn't even mad And it's only when someone asks me That I'm reminded of your silly face And the stack of vinyl records you left at my place

I was just a brittle stone Buried in the earth alone Wondering if I'd ever leave the ground Then one day a passerby Threw me over the lake and I Skipped and for a moment I could fly Oh why, oh why? Oh why, oh why? I ran back to find your hand Hoping you'd throw me again And that was when we rose into the air Now we're both just fireflies Staring up at starry skies Doing all we can, shine a light Oh why, oh why? Oh why, oh why? Oh why, oh why? Oh why, oh why?

Those beneath us are the ones who need us You've let somebody else take our place Cry us a river Cross your little fingers You've let somebody else take our place I'm addicted to conception of affectionate narration Hang the king, elect the bleak reflection of perfection A bald man's statue in the middle of a square I love this land, dog Express the extraordinary need for demonstration Build the bigger and balder piece of bloody meditation A black building, white building, green building, people singing: I love this land, but Mother of god Was all of it worth it? Don't stand in the doorway Oh, don't block up the hall WE ARE DONE Christmas present Life is not that pleasant All those idols are not worth your time The words are forgotten They're drowning in the water Where's the beauty in your ordinary life? We're fallen idols Begging for your kindness Do you remember all the songs we used to play? We bow in your presence Hope you buy our record Don't let somebody else take our place

I'ma take a Bud Light break, ah, ah I just came down from the high of my life I just, I just came down from the high of my life See us popping champagne, we could do it all night And if everything gone bad, we gon' make it alright How you expecting awards when you ain't put in work?

When the night gets long And you're sitting by the phone 'Cause all those drugs wore off I just came down from the high of my life I just, I just came down from the high of my life See us popping champagne, we could do it all night And if everything gone bad, we gon' make it alright High of my life High of my life High of my life High of my life High of my life
