Week 17 - We Couldn't, Could We? (230423)

from Song A Week, Vol. 8 by James Tristan Redding

/

about

Co-written with Little Lore / Tricia Duffy.

lyrics

We couldn’t could we
Not matter how we tried
Walk away from something
That felt so right

We held our breath
Started swimming away
The current pulled us back
To each other anyway

We tried to hide
Under our excuses
But in the end
The attempt was useless

We climbed up high
Above the trees
fell down together
Like autumn leaves

We hitched a ride
In opposite directions
Went so far
We intersected

If we didn’t have our daily farce
Running from each others hearts
Could we be happy?

We couldn’t could we
Not matter how we tried
Walk away from something
That felt so right

We wouldn’t would we
Even if we could
Walk away from something
That feels so good
