Never did we stop to tell or to recall
Never did we pause and never did we stall
Never did we see the writing on the wall
Then the fall brought me so low
That was the longest night that I ever have known
How did I not see that and know we were out of control?
Why was I not ruined enough that it somehow would show?
And you won't let me go
Never could I say "I've had about enough"
It took all my will just to get through the day
Plus you said that you would never get rough
Never could I hold my head up and stay tough
So I bluff and you see through
Still, you can't stand to not have the old pull over me
So you'd hurt yourself when I beg you to let me be
I sometimes let go and I drift off and dream of a day
I won't want you to stay
The warmth of this album is so unique and pleasing to the ear in this cold digital era of music. Skinny's songwriting sounds both classic and modern and evolves throughout from beginning to end. Evan Smibert
