WhentheTruthIs...

When the Truth Is... - Hamilton Leithauser/Rostam

I was drowning at the night

With the last of the wine

And my story began to unwind

So I gathered all the shards

Of a glass from the boat

And I left from 17th street for Saint Martin

You're doing this to me now

All the time

Maybe I'm tired of running away

But not tonight

I've always been lonely

And you never hear the truth

Cause the truth is there's some distance but you listen

And I keep choking my way back into your heart

Mama told me don't give up baby but

Mama lied

Baby I'm from my scattered brain

But not tonight

I've always been lonely

And you never hear the truth

Yeah I've always been lonely

And you never hear the truth

In the graveyards in the harbor

In the beer halls in the park

I've been wandering under unforgiving stars

But the spirits in my heart

Don't persuade me anymore

And my echoes off the brick and mortar walls

When the truth is there's some distance but you listen

When the truth is there's some distance but you listen
