lyrics

Would you still want me
If I lost my voice and couldn't sing for you?
Or if we blew all of our money
On a pyramid scheme?
Or if we stayed up late one night
Locked in conversation
And you realized
I don't always say the right thing?

Because I know it's been hard
For the two of us
And I understand
You don't quite know ow you feel
But I just can't switch my eyes off
Even when you show those wounds
So I'm waiting for you to let me
Help them heal

Well let's buy the yellow house on Say Ave.
And we'll dream all day and pretend that it's real
And our friends will shake us hard to wake our sleep heads
But if you don't wake, I hope I never will

Well I've had days in a daze
That left me empty
I've spend weeks, made me weak
And want to give up
But I'll spend years
And despite all of my fears
I'll take the time, fix that door
Be the man I was before
And after it's done
And there's a "for sale" sign
We'll still be making time

Well let's buy the yellow house on Say Ave.
And we'll dream all day And pretend that it's real
And our friends will shake us hard to wake our sleep heads
But if you don't wake, I hope I never will
Even if you stop dreaming of us, I think I still will

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
