elder brother - the champion of the east bay lyrics
[verse 1]
i painted the wings on a b+tterfly
i painted a portrait based on your design
began with the eyes and some measured grace
tried keeping the colors within her constraints
[verse 2]
just as i was done, they whisked her away
like she was the champion of the east bay
to see her again, i’d do anything
if she had a song, i’d sing it every day
[chorus]
and i don’t know why i feel so bold
chasing down a thing that i can’t hold
as if it would somehow make me whole
i caught you like a cold
[verse 3]
if i wrote a song, brittle and brave
with so many words i don’t know how to say
i finished a draft and threw it away
if this is the end it seems like such a waste
[chorus]
and i don’t know why i feel so bold
chasing down a thing that i can’t hold
as if it would somehow make me whole
i caught you like a cold
[chorus]
and i don’t know why i feel so bold
chasing down a thing that i can’t hold
as if it would somehow make me whole
i caught you like a cold
