lyrics
You wore my favorite dress today
And all that you had to say
Is how you use to wear it only for me
But now you’re bearing your shoulders
For the sake of feeling free
All the time that we wasted
Changing our places
And finding the roles we’d play
Well if I’m the villain
That makes you Salome and like you say
There were two of us here
And two of us left to blame
For every heartbreak and star up in the sky
You get a little explanation
For the beauty lost before it hits your eyes
And every memory you dreamed of in the night
Should simply serve as a reminder
Of who you were, who you are and why you fight
Even if there are things you can’t make right
I was the one that wouldn’t learn
You were the pictures I couldn’t burn
And keep safely locked away should you return
For what it’s worth
There will always be a little proof of who we were
With every ending and all that couldn’t start
You should take comfort in the feeling
That none of them could pull you all apart
Maybe it’s true that we each have just one true love
A single person you are meant to call your own
Sleep beside and take care of
If you’re getting closer all the time then that’s enough
Every glance I stole
Every song I wrote
All of the lines I toed
Were for you
Every time I’d shot
All of the crippling doubt
Even the taste still in my mouth
Is from you
For every heartbreak and star up in the sky
You get a little explanation
For the beauty lost before it hits your eyes
And every memory you dreamed of in the night
Should simply serve as a reminder
Of who you were, who you are and why you fight
Even if there are things you can’t make right
With every ending and all that couldn’t start
You should take comfort in the feeling
That none of them could pull you all apart
Maybe it’s true that we each have just one true love
A single person you are meant to call your own
Sleep beside and take care of
If you’re getting closer all the time then that’s enough
And you can tell that to your broken heart
When it gives up
And all that you had to say
Is how you use to wear it only for me
But now you’re bearing your shoulders
For the sake of feeling free
All the time that we wasted
Changing our places
And finding the roles we’d play
Well if I’m the villain
That makes you Salome and like you say
There were two of us here
And two of us left to blame
For every heartbreak and star up in the sky
You get a little explanation
For the beauty lost before it hits your eyes
And every memory you dreamed of in the night
Should simply serve as a reminder
Of who you were, who you are and why you fight
Even if there are things you can’t make right
I was the one that wouldn’t learn
You were the pictures I couldn’t burn
And keep safely locked away should you return
For what it’s worth
There will always be a little proof of who we were
With every ending and all that couldn’t start
You should take comfort in the feeling
That none of them could pull you all apart
Maybe it’s true that we each have just one true love
A single person you are meant to call your own

about
Dave Buker and the Historians Columbus, Ohio
Based in Columbus, OH, Dave Buker and the Historians have been spreading their brand of Americana since 2010. As was true for many musicians, the COVID-19 pandemic slowed the band’s momentum, and they chose to focus on writing and recording new music. The result is Heirlooms, the band’s first album of original music since 2019’s It Moves in the Dark. ... more
