Phantom Writer Lyrics
When the gravel turns to oil
Was it your intention
To be part of it all
Or to never take part at all?
And now you won't be bothered
But it was never my intention to push you away
Away
So light the torches
And turn the ringer off
Let's get back, yeah we gotta get back
To where we once belonged
Be what may
Be what may
So light the torches
And turn the ringer off
Let's get back, yeah we gotta get back
To where we once belonged
This hunt for something worthwhile
To make us stick
Well our goal is getting fuzzy
And our hopes are running dry
It's all a matter of finding the other half of your brain
And the whole of your heart
So these optimistic songs we hear
They mean nothing at all
Because things will never be okay this way
They will never be okay
This way
Be What may
So scrimp and save
And blow your fingernails dry
And some of the guilt away
But you know that he's coming
You know that he's coming
Be what may
Was it your intention
To be part of it all
Or to never take part at all?
And now you won't be bothered
But it was never my intention to push you away
Away
And turn the ringer off
Let's get back, yeah we gotta get back
To where we once belonged
Be what may
And turn the ringer off
Let's get back, yeah we gotta get back
To where we once belonged
To make us stick
Well our goal is getting fuzzy
And our hopes are running dry
It's all a matter of finding the other half of your brain
And the whole of your heart
So these optimistic songs we hear
They mean nothing at all
Because things will never be okay this way
They will never be okay
Be What may
And blow your fingernails dry
And some of the guilt away
But you know that he's coming
You know that he's coming
Be what may

i love the acoustic version of this song. this song, i believe, was written about stella's sister. i don't remember the story behind it, though. it used to say on their website.
