lyrics
Here we are now in the backyard
On the warm ground out at sundown
But in twelve days I'll be halfway
Cross the world, I'm too tired to be afraid
You've got green eyes, I had foresight
When I said we'd be good I was so right
If we lay here, spend every day here
Well our legs might take root and we'll grow dear
I made a promise to you
I'd protect you if I had to
So the bad parts never get through
From the outside into your life
We can try but we might have some hard nights
Now we can't speak 'neath the pine trees
And I swear that there's air but I can't breathe
I need your heat, I've got cold feet
It's the thought that still makes this so easy
I made a promise to you
That we'd still feel brand new
That we'd still feel something
She's not too fond of history
Hearing loud of abrasive speech
She's unique in the way she eats oh yeah she loves me
Why she does hell I cannot say
I can't seem to stay in one place
Always gone and I'm far away from the smile on her face
Was it something that I couldn't say?
Fast enough to get away
And though I tried to make a clean escape
You left me with an even break
And i think I saw myself in you
But I think you saw a proper fool
And I know we broke every rule
With everything we didn't do
I'll remember every day
If you remember every dumb mistake
That you made cause you were late
But its my fault I made you wait
In this city I cant speak
Well you know this place is killing me
And it's harder to believe
But it's hard enough to watch you leave
On the warm ground out at sundown
But in twelve days I'll be halfway
Cross the world, I'm too tired to be afraid
You've got green eyes, I had foresight
When I said we'd be good I was so right
If we lay here, spend every day here
Well our legs might take root and we'll grow dear
I made a promise to you
I'd protect you if I had to
So the bad parts never get through
From the outside into your life
We can try but we might have some hard nights
Now we can't speak 'neath the pine trees
And I swear that there's air but I can't breathe
I need your heat, I've got cold feet
It's the thought that still makes this so easy
I made a promise to you
That we'd still feel brand new
That we'd still feel something
She's not too fond of history
Hearing loud of abrasive speech
She's unique in the way she eats oh yeah she loves me
Why she does hell I cannot say
I can't seem to stay in one place
Always gone and I'm far away from the smile on her face
Was it something that I couldn't say?
Fast enough to get away
And though I tried to make a clean escape
You left me with an even break
And i think I saw myself in you
But I think you saw a proper fool
And I know we broke every rule
With everything we didn't do
I'll remember every day
If you remember every dumb mistake
That you made cause you were late
But its my fault I made you wait
In this city I cant speak
Well you know this place is killing me
And it's harder to believe
But it's hard enough to watch you leave

The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since.
