Name: Thief
Duration: P00H04M00S
Description: I wrote this song for my girlfriend one day when it seemed like she was having a hard time coping with her return to life off-the-road. It's always hard coming home and Sao Paulo was being unkind to her. Because of the distance, we existed for each other only in the stories we told each other. I don't normally write these kind of songs, so I probably sound like an idiot. Forgive me.

about

I wrote this song for my girlfriend one day when it seemed like she was having a hard time coping with her return to life off-the-road. It's always hard coming home and Sao Paulo was being unkind to her. Because of the distance, we existed for each other only in the stories we told each other. I don't normally write these kind of songs, so I probably sound like an idiot. Forgive me.

lyrics

I got so many stories floating around in my head, you're the heroine in most of them. There's villages and oceans and cityscapes, they all fade to black when I catch a glimpse of you in one of the pictures that I stole while you were minding your own business. Can't say I regret it. My heart screams into a pillow and I just try to stay calm. I just try. Four more months without you, I've been drinking way too much. So now I'm in the lunchroom and I can't seem to pay attention. All these nice people mean nothing. I'm lost in you. I want to get lost in you, tangled in your memories, deep down the river, further than anyone's been, Until then all I've got are these stolen pictures and a neverending dream.
