I Like Your Hat

from Looking Up by The Summer Januaries

/

lyrics

I said "I like your hat"
"I like your face"
my face was smudged and dirty
I saw your eyes
and I thought
that maybe this is something

but you probably drink too much
need too much
love too much, or not enough
and I'd
think too much
give too much
want too much, or not enough
and I'd leave you someday
I couldn't stay
I'd leave you someday
I couldn't stay

there always was some comfort in knowing how to love him
now that he's gone, what's to be done
with this useless information?

cause you know he'd
drink too much
need too much
love too much, or not enough
and I'd
think too much
give too much
want too much
I always knew that I'd
leave him someday
I couldn't stay
I'd leave him someday
I couldn't stay

I wake up now, all anew
don't want what I used to
now I've come to mourn the loss
of the many things I clung to
find that I can
pick them up
and hold them close
then I let them fall and watch them go
and I see them on the ground below
but there's still one thing I long to hold
and I'll find it someday
and I'll wanna stay
I'll find it some day
and I'll wanna stay

I said "I like your hat"
"I like your face"
my face was smudged and dirty
I saw your eyes
and I thought
that maybe this is something.
