virtuoso

Ryan Beatty

Where to go, I wouldn t know, I heard a call out west
Gold rush rotting in a copper pot
I could end up there, I guess
And though I cannot hold you close
Like a rose upon my chest
Hell, if I don t see you anymore
Doesn t mean I love you less

Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo

Two thumbs wavin in the wind
I ve got nothing you could buy
But I ll pump a little gasoline if you get me there tonight
Tulane green, well, shame on me if I show up underdressed
Cause I always wear your borrowed things
Til I end up wearing less

Hey, tryna hold me down is like holdin on to rain
I m not an empty gun, I m the bullet flyin away
You gotta learn to leave to remember why you stay
Letting go of what you hold holds you just the same

Veteran drummer, rookie clarinets
Salt the edge and suck the lime
Virtuous or a virtuoso, parody or paradise?
I close my eyes and think of you
With that hammer around your chest
Just because I d die to leave you here
Doesn t mean I love you less

Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo

Hey, tryna hold me down is like holdin on to rain
I m not an empty gun, I m the bullet flyin away
You gotta learn to leave to remember why you stay
Letting go of what you hold holds you just the same

Time turns, it s turning me on
The more that I miss, the more that I want
Time turns, it s turning me on
I want you right back the moment I m gone
Time turns, it s turning me on
The more that I miss, the more that I want
Time turns, it s turning me on
I want you right back the moment I m gone
