about

Written in Bloomington, IN.

This song is a blatant response to "Hard Work" by Paul Baribeau, which you should also listen to.

lyrics

hard work may help the time go by
but the anger never leaves your eyes
on the late nights full of wine fights and headlights
an hour of deciding who has the worst life
and i am miles away from you but we’re here in the same room
on a night so velvet blue

took two hours to figure out my life today
and it came upon me in a brilliant way
i drove west while i figured out the rest
and i didn’t see the sun til the salt was on my tongue
and i am miles away from you but we’re under the same room
on a night so velvet blue

i’ll never forget about you
i loved you, i loved you so true
i even loved all the things that you do
and i sometimes think that you loved me, too
on a night so velvet blue
