Montreal Lyrics
Montreal is
Where I began to feel inside
The gray sadness of winter
When you told me that this isn't it
And I drove away
Walking to the statue in the park
Through snowdrifts up over our knees
And every street sign written in French
We sat by the statue
You looked in my eyes
Then said, "I'm so sorry"
Later, laying on your bed
Wondering what's going wrong
Every time I'd ask you'd start crying
And whisper, "I don't know why
I only know what I feel
What a voice says to me"
I may be here now
But I've never left Montreal
Where I began to feel inside
The gray sadness of winter
When you told me that this isn't it
And I drove away
Through snowdrifts up over our knees
And every street sign written in French
We sat by the statue
You looked in my eyes
Then said, "I'm so sorry"
Wondering what's going wrong
Every time I'd ask you'd start crying
And whisper, "I don't know why
I only know what I feel
What a voice says to me"
But I've never left Montreal
oh. i don't think he's ever sounded this heartbroken, and it just gets you down so much. You just wanna hold him and tell him everything will be ok.
I completely agree. This song is so sad, without being whiny. It's amazing, and it breaks my heart every time.
I wish I could love Kevin Barnes. Well, in person.
this is possibly the most beautiful song Kevin Barnes has written. It's so sad, and it really moves me. I really like it.
I'm pretty sure it's about his failed relationship with his girlfriend from Montreal, which of course led to the name of the band.
