Avett Brothers, The - Left On Laura, Left On Lisa Lyrics






Nobody knows it but I am so sad
Nobody knows it but I am so sad
And that is the saddest of all my girl
That is the saddest of all

We climbed the ladder to the top of my house
Never letting go of your hand
The sky trades the moon for the sun my girl
The sky trades the moon for the sun

And I gave to you my ugly brown coat
You made it pretty when you put it on
Warmth in the early morning chill my girl
Warmth in the early April

Then you said you'd trade the love of a man
Tears fell soft from your face to my hands
Said you'd trade your heart for mine my girl
I traded my heart for those days

And you made it clear it was strictly a deal
Of springtime love and that's how I should feel
So I set the clock back an hour my girl
I set the time a just right

You see somewhere back there when I was boy
Furious I had become by the point
That men are just liars and thieves of sorts
Men are just liars and thieves

But I still believe and I stand by my words
I don't know what you have seen or you've heard
But somebody's lying to you my girl
Somebody's lying to you

You really made me believe I could stay
Part with you actions in part what you said
But that was just foolish pride my girl
And those are only feelings inside

So I'm going back to the place where we met
I'm going to find the beer bottle we left
Wedged in the limbs of the tree that we sat in
Wedged in the magnolia tree

Well we hid for days like a proud pair of thieves
Too sure we were right too stubborn too leave
Wasted with the moment we lifted my girl
Stolen forever with you

    I wish songs like this were on the radio =/ maybe more people would be more into meaningful music than edm

    c.... ....

    Can things that are subtle and specific be meaningful, or does it have to be explicitly philosophical and also general

    c.... ....

    crappybumbum I guess I'm wrong for being a long time fan and being mad that I have to share them with others. I'd prefer them to stay quiet but they've earned their recognition

    c.... ....

    This is actually my favorite song by them. They had a unique way of creating momentum without a drum beat. To me there isn't any other group this unique and talented. I've researched their past and they're just great people.

  5. T.... T....

    Nobody knows it, but I am so sad, and that is the saddest of all....
