Track 12 off of Oceanographer

lyrics

Soap Box

I was hoping you would come along
To knock me off of my soap box
And how could that be wrong?
Cause I would never
I would never ask

And I was hoping you would be by soon
Cause I forgot to say or what I would do
And now you’re holding birds
Where I would never I would never

Hold you hand or wait in line
Or take the time to make you mine
For you, slingshot

I was folding on a pile of clothes
You kicked me over a milk crate
With the soap box pouring out
All the empties, all the empties break

With the light and the purple hues
I got distracted by the light of the moon
And now we’re only friends
Where I would never I should never

Hold you hand or wait in line
Or take the time to make you mine
Like a sewn up rag doll
With arms that pull and part
And the ripped up embers
Drag us into the dark
For you, slingshot.

Hold your head up in a world that’s caught up
Got the faith to leave it never superseded
As your soap box songs move us along
Knew you never meant it before we ever said it
For you, my slingshot
