Splinters Songtext

von Austin Lucas

She said that too many people
Know nothing about the world
They ain't been in love
And they ain't seen enough
They all wanna sing along
It's easy to be
With a damn bit of heart and a song
They ain't got no soul
Honey that ain't rock and roll
So we lit out like two bats out of hell
We were young and we were full of life
Singing along to I'd do anything for love
Found paradise by the dashboard life
She said, Jesus was a carpenter
And you're semi numb singer of songs
You feed the spirits
You house the soul
Honey I'm just a wrecker of homes

You say that's a splinter
And sat from evergreen
A birth on your elbow
A little skin of your knee
But if it's only burr and a busted lip
Just a crack in your perfect teeth
Tell me why does it hurt so bad?
Tell me why when I slam the door and leave

So I said what's with all this talk of the savior?
I know he's yours but he sure ain't mine
She said you ain't gotta be a believer to hold
A place in his grand design
Well she looked so cute
A dip in her faith
So I kissed her where she stood
I was filled up with bad intentions
Oh but Lord those intentions felt good

You say that's a splinter
And sat from evergreen
A birth on your elbow
A little skin of your knee
But if it's only burr and a busted lip
Just a crack in your perfect teeth
Tell me why does it hurt so bad?
Tell me why when I slam the door and leave

They say that's a splinter
And sat from evergreen
A birth on your elbow
A little skin of your knee
But if it's only burr and a busted lip
Just a crack in your perfect teeth
Tell me why does it hurt so bad?
Tell me why when I slam the door and leave
