about

Where would songwriters be without the emotional imprint of first loves?

lyrics

She was a miracle and I was kid
Who could've never imagine all the crazy things we did
A soft lip bitten a touch of the sin
These seemed to be no bottom to the well she pushed me in
I was a cushion and she was a pin
And she fell into a hole where my life had started wearing thin
She lived a secret, she hid it in my bed
After all these years on sleepless nights I turn it over in my head

She came from nowhere but she’d been around
And I was the wanderers who never left my little town
I found her hiding in the darkest part of the night
She let me in we shed our skin and then she turned out all my lights

She had a history and I had a car
We thought that we’d outrun the past but it proved to be a bit too far
Tender mercies like kisses on a bruise
Were confused for love and made me feel like I had nothing else to lose
She was a miracle and I was a liar
I spent my days out in the cold and at night she set my soul on fire
A soft lip bitten the taste of blood on the tongue
The feel of loss and love gone south when we were both too young

Bridge/Outro
Please hold me now, please show me how,
with all the kindness you have left to give
Please reach for me, please teach me love,
how to look back at myself and see someone to forgive

Dharmadillo Project image

Dharmadillo Project Charlottesville, Virginia

Dharmadillo is the solo music output of a solo music guy in the basement of his humble home. It is the product of too strong a desire to share a view of the world from my own little window and too large a fear to dedicate myself exclusively to any medium, mode, or manner of expression. My kids like what I make and for now that's all that matters. I do hope that you like it, too. ... more
