The Avett Brothers - Distraction 74 lyrics

I was in love with your beauty from the day you walked my way Oh how I wish that was enough to have made me want to stay See I'm as true as I want to be and I must say my girl I tried the best to give to you all of the truest in the world But when I left your house that morning in that ragged Thunderbird I tried so hard to fight the voices from the devil's that I heard See there's a highway to the right of us I took it a year ago And since a year ago can't drive past, without turning down that road And I knew it I never should have turned the wheel And I knew it The voices calling me were real I knew it Listen to the song they sing I knew I was wrong And I knew I was wrong So give me a try at describing just how difficult it is When you kinda love two girls to figure out which one you miss Stumble away from your stairway with your perfume on my clothes Well I kinda loved two girls but now I've kinda lost 'em both And I knew it I never should have turned the wheel And I knew it The voices calling me were real I knew it Listen to the song they sing I knew I was wrong And I knew I was wrong And if I could gather up the damage that I rendered in my life Place it on a scale and weigh against the damage done that night Then it'd be safe to say the weight of all I did and didn't do Would surely float against the lightest wrong I ever did to you
