lyrics
I can’t be everything and more
The blood beneath your skin
And what you’d die for
I’m just the thoughts racing fast through your head
In the middle of the night
And the sun pouring in when you wake
That just feels right
Feels like someone I could never be
Despite your love
I can’t be everything and more
The breath that you take in
And what you live for you
I’m just the glue holding pieces of you
Stable and tight
And the touch that you crave on your lips
That just feels right
Feels like someone I could never be
Despite your love
I can’t be everything and more
I don’t know what to say
The blood beneath your skin
And what you’d die for
I’m just the thoughts racing fast through your head
In the middle of the night
And the sun pouring in when you wake
That just feels right
Feels like someone I could never be
Despite your love
I can’t be everything and more
The breath that you take in
And what you live for you
I’m just the glue holding pieces of you
Stable and tight
And the touch that you crave on your lips
That just feels right
Feels like someone I could never be
Despite your love
I can’t be everything and more
I don’t know what to say

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
