Israel Nebeker - Oviedo lyrics

The thrill here is quicker than you'd think The way some jet-lagged bar kept pouring the wine From over their heads then sit back down again Four times is once too much for luck And that's how many times the clock struck I wandered home saying your name The arches here were built cause they don't fall The cathedrals to make you feel small That you might find your small soul But leave the preaching to the president The crowd cheers. His eyes get wet I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is So don't feed me more You'll be having my head, big as a birthday Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control I didn't know, I'm not invincible Now maybe some things are better left unsaid But if you wanted to test that out, well, yeah, I guess, I could've said But there were nights in bars that I recall Your breath was courage laced with alcohol You leaned in, you said "Make music with the chatter in here And whisper all the notes in my ears." I didn't know, I didn't know the weight of my tongue I didn't know, I didn't know what I'd done The lights here are softer than you'd think The dim lit peaco*ks in the trees Are hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me But if my eyes were on my back I know what I'd be looking at Through every shade of browns and greens I didn't know, I didn't know it was nothing new I didn't know, I didn't know it was you
