Say Ave. (ACRN radio​/​demo)

from Say Ave. EP by Dave Buker and the Historians

/

  • Streaming + Download

    This track was originally recorded in October 2011 during an on-air session at ACRN Radio in Athens, OH. At the time, I had just finished the bridge and was excited to play the song in its entirety. Months later, I decided to add addition guitar, vocal, and percussion parts and offer it as a bonus track from the Say Ave EP.

lyrics

Would you still want me
If I lost my voice and couldn't sing for ?
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
