Emerson Woolf & the Wishbones - Georgetown 1999 Lyrics

Babies in the yard
Screen door slamming
I had an older brother back then
None of it felt too hard
Bruised knees and scraped hands
I know I couldn't make it through again
Still stronger now that I'm older
I wanna stay that way

Don't you think it's strange
For all these things we
Share between us still got nothing to say?
Great grandmother's first and middle names
My blood running inside your veins
I look less like you now I'm older
I wanna stay that way

Mmhmm

I wish you'd let it rest
Sometimes all that's left to give is only all that's left
Why won't you let it rest?
Sometimes all that's left to give is only all that's left

Babies in the yard
Early evening
I was a little sister back then
If I knew you now
Maybe I'd call you
But you'll be drinking till she loves you again
It's easier now I'm older
Why won't it stay that way?

Mmhmm

I believed those things you said to me about myself
You had me convinced that I was really somebody else

Mmhmm

I wish you'd let it rest
Sometimes all that's left to give is only all that's left
Why won't you let it rest?
Sometimes all that's left to give is only all that's left
I wish I'd let it rest
Sometimes all that's left to give is only all that's left
Why won't I let it rest?
Sometimes all that's left to give is only all that's left
