Tell Your Sisters
from Boxing Lessons by Brandon Whyde
lyrics
i remember you down by the creek
the sun was dripping from your hair so sweet
your sisters splashing in the water
at your feet
it always kind of felt like being saved
three mystic angels somehow willing to brave
my misery and squalor and the endless pain
but oh they're much too young
with ice cream on their tongues
so tell your sisters all to be good
i'd give you the answers if i could
but you only love if i love you back
i'm not just one of your ideas
one that can free you of your fears
then leave you stranded when you feel alone
i can't always be the one to blame
i can't be your pleasure and not your pain
and if you don't see just what i mean
that ain't my fault
but i don't know what else you want me to do
her head was in my hand
oh and it wasn't even planned
no it wasn't planned
with the t.v. turned down real low
you asked me but i did not know
do you love me
i don't know
i'd tell you
if i knew
that's the least
that i could do
do you trust me
you said i don't know
the sun was dripping from your hair so sweet
your sisters splashing in the water
at your feet
it always kind of felt like being saved
three mystic angels somehow willing to brave
my misery and squalor and the endless pain
but oh they're much too young
with ice cream on their tongues
so tell your sisters all to be good
i'd give you the answers if i could
but you only love if i love you back
i'm not just one of your ideas
one that can free you of your fears
then leave you stranded when you feel alone
i can't always be the one to blame
i can't be your pleasure and not your pain
and if you don't see just what i mean
that ain't my fault
but i don't know what else you want me to do
her head was in my hand
oh and it wasn't even planned
no it wasn't planned
with the t.v. turned down real low
you asked me but i did not know
do you love me
i don't know
i'd tell you
if i knew
that's the least
that i could do
do you trust me
you said i don't know
