about

This song was originally on the 'Kris Kehr & Stone Poets' studio release.

lyrics

I know you want to sail the seven seas
I don’t know how much I can take
You know I try to see things as they are
I wouldn’t want it any other way

I feel the wind and see the northern lights
Rise up above your pretty head
You say I’ll never get that story right
But I know exactly what you said

“See the pretty people when you just walk down the street
Do you think they’re looking at me?”
I could travel to the four corners of the world
And never miss a word you speak
You’re always talking at me

I hear you knocking’ but there’s no one at home
I’m still pretending I’m asleep
I’ve had my lion share of trouble, you know
And I ain’t got time to sail the sea

But I can comfort you until you come around
Time don’t mean a thing to me
What keeps me wondering is why you come around
When you know what it does to me
This always talking at me

Well, my advice is take it anyway you can
Watch your back and use your feet
Don’t forget to notice where you put it down
And try not to shit where you eat

You could spend a lifetime looking ‘round for mrs. right
But she could be here with me
Or you could start listening to what’s in between the lines
And finally get a good night’s sleep
And just stop talking at me
