lyrics

Sunshine falling on the grass.
Blue eyes I wish I still had.
Two words stir up the past.
Two words: a first and a last.

I won't bring you up
To tear your soul down.
I won't bring you up
To tear your soul down.

Songbirds hopping through the trees.
I mean to be sincere.
Three years, forget that past.
Three years: a first, middle, and a last.

I won't bring you up to tear your soul down.
All your paintings on my walls, they still hang around.
I won't bring you up to tear your soul down.
All your friends back home, they still hang around this town.

I won't tell them who you are.
All those blurry pictures hide your scars.
I won't tell them who you are.
All those blurry pictures hide your scars.

Sunset falls on both her ears.
The sun's warmth forces her to leave.
Four men carry the same past.
Four men: save the best for the last.

I won't bring you up to tear your soul down.
All your paintings on my walls, they still hang around.
I won't bring you up to tear your soul down.
All of us back home, they still hang around this town.

I won't tell them who you are.
All those blurry pictures hide your scars.
I won't tell them who you are.
All those blurry pictures hide your scars.
