lyrics
All my lovers tend to leave me
Hanging by a thread with not much to hold
But that's been okay for me
The nights I get lonely
As sad as it may seem
The sun's been waking up much sooner
Shining that light right into my eyes
I think maybe it's all a lie
And everything's just fine
Yeah I think that I'm alright
So help me put something together
A piece of art that truly matters
And you can find your own meaning
To me, it don't mean anything
I found a brand new way to move
Bust out my tie and my best suit
And brown leather dancing shoes
And that gave me much more room to breathe
I wrote a song and I did sing
A tune
I gave my sleeping to a tall girl
And I admit I still sing some songs for her
She was warm just like the summer
And God knows that I loved her
In spite of all her spite
And now I'm living for this new one
She loves me day by day, and that's how I progress
I swear she'll bear my name
But I'll never love the same way I did last July
I built my castle in the sand
'Cause I swear that's all I had
Lying on the beach
So help me put something together
A piece of art that truly matters
And you can find your own meaning
To me, it don't mean anything
God I miss those good days
When spring was warm, and summer wasn't far away
And I just told her "Don't be afraid"
But those days have come and gone
it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
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. ladyoforion
