Lies Lyrics
I think its time we give it up
and figure out what's stopping us
from breathing easy
and talking straight
they way is clear
you're ready now
the volunteer is slowing down
and taking time to
save himself
The little cracks that escalated
before we knew it was too late
for making circles and telling lies
You're moving too fast for me
and I can't keep up with you.
Maybe if you slow down for me,
I can see you're only telling lies, lies, lies,
breaking us down with your lies, lies, lies.
When will you learn?
The little cracks that escalated
before we knew it was too late
for making circles and telling lies
You're moving too fast for me
and I can't keep up with you.
Maybe if you slow down for me,
I can see you're only telling lies, lies, lies,
breaking us down with your lies, lies, lies.
When will you learn?
So plant the thought and watch it grow
Wind it up and let it go
and figure out what's stopping us
from breathing easy
and talking straight
they way is clear
you're ready now
the volunteer is slowing down
and taking time to
save himself
before we knew it was too late
for making circles and telling lies
You're moving too fast for me
and I can't keep up with you.
Maybe if you slow down for me,
I can see you're only telling lies, lies, lies,
breaking us down with your lies, lies, lies.
When will you learn?
before we knew it was too late
for making circles and telling lies
You're moving too fast for me
and I can't keep up with you.
Maybe if you slow down for me,
I can see you're only telling lies, lies, lies,
breaking us down with your lies, lies, lies.
When will you learn?
Wind it up and let it go

This song, although obvious in meaning really, is best explained in Glen's short, and bittersweet introduction to it..
"This song is about a fucking liar".
Oh and the last verse should read :
"So plant the thought, And watch it grow Wind it up And let it go"
the last line is "wind i tup and let it go"
wind it up*
Broken heart again..
Glen introduces this song on the Swell Season version he performs with Marketa as a song about a guy who tells the truth about things that didn't happen. Seems fitting.
