Eric Abel - If She Knew Lyrics

She spoke softly to me when the sky turned red
Found pictures in the clouds so we could play pretend
Makin' somewhere out of nowhere layin' in the wind
Turned our phones over to ignore the rents
Texts blowin' us up cuz we were late for bed
Knew that I was trouble but ignored the mess
But that was last summer now the weather could chill my bones
And the grass where we laid is covered up by stones
So I'm drinking my weight in wine
Pullin' pictures to pass the time
Cuz if she knew that when she smiled
My whole wide world had a revival
Some folks need themselves a bible
But that ain't me
And if she knew that leavin' would increase my pain
Or how now it seems the sun is always tucked away
How everyday is grey when I'm alone
Maybe she'd stay
Maybe she'd stay, hey
Maybe she'd stay, hey
Time goes by and we grow so old
And now there's payment coverin' up what was left of those old town roads
Look in the mirror and I'm unrecognizable
But you moved on to a land where the sun would keep you nice and warm
Love letters that you wrote about us got torn
Between your head and your heart I guess you'd grown too worn
And that was last summer now the weather could chill my bones
And the grass where we laid is covered up by stones
So I'm drinking my weight in wine
Pullin' pictures to pass the time
Cuz if she knew that when she smiled
My whole wide world had a revival
Some folks need themselves a bible
But that ain't me
And if she knew that leavin' would increase my pain
Or how now it seems the sun is always tucked away
How everyday is grey when I'm alone
Maybe she'd stay
Maybe she'd stay, hey
Maybe she'd stay, hey
