Tuesday Tunes "It'll Be a While"




Last night I sat in the rain
And watched your hands wave goodbye
As you held an umbrella so your make-up wouldn't run
I sat in silence as I heard the raindrops make their case
For the people to stay indoors

It'll be a while til I can finally let you go
til I reconcile with myself, and let the river flow
It'll be a while til me hands won't scream to hold you
But know when I smile, I'm finally over you

This morning I woke alone
Check the window, checked the phone
Neither one had changed
Raining Sunday, maybe I could find a better way to change
My ambitions for growing old

If love didn't have to change
Maybe you and I could hold down the rain
Take your gloves off, come inside
Tomorrow yesterday will be two complete days away
Let's just throw it out the door

  3. It feels good, especially when we get to hear from the two of you, our adoring fans. :)

    Kidding. But yeah, posting them on Tuesday has been a nice goal because it forces us to actually take the time to practice something (which means, for me, learning a new song) and it doesn't allow us to be lazy or put it off. It isn't so much that anyone ELSE cares that we post the songs, but it's a great way for us to have some external motivation. We no longer try to make the videos great, the sound quality nice or even get our tune and pitch perfect. We just want to get a song recorded each week, and so far... we have. Woot!
