Mat Kearney-Everyone I Know

(↓Lyrics↓)

We pulled out on 65

To Birmingham on a Tuesday night

With your broken leg and favorite song

‘Julie, Julie’ we sang along

And our tired eyes pulled up the drive

Could hear the phone ring on the other side

Of your front door that your hands made

She was so surprised we came

And we talked about babies names 

Halloween in the pouring rain 

I fell asleep on the couch

Through the walls you kissed a mouth

And I know what it’s like

Because everyone that I know

Every place that I go

Every story that I’m told

Its love

Its love

It’s love that we’re looking for

There’s an outcry in the streets 

Where the outcasts walk the beats

And all the widows and black sheep lay their souls down low to sleep

And I can hardly find the means 

For all the words I mean to speak

But still this fire inside of me

Seems too much for me alone to keep

But now the writing’s on the wall

Forgotten Krylon cans

Will you send a prayer for me?

Will you help me to stand?

Because I know what it’s like

Because everyone that I know

Every place that I go

Every story that I’m told

Its love

Its love

It’s love that we’re looking for

Da da da da da da da da…
