Johnny Viola Lyrics

To me...it's about a person who's letting love slip by willingly. They don't live, they just go through life passively, ignoring love, pushing it away, or just hiding their feelings. Lifeless, heartless...

I know/knew a person like that...

Palo Santo is an amazing record, but this is probably one of the standout tracks. Beautiful music...
