lyrics

Sepia tone

I didn’t know what I wanted to be
I didn’t know what I wanted to do
I didn’t know what I wanted to say
I didn’t know if what I said was true
I didn’t know if I understood
I didn’t know if I could see it clear
I didn’t know if I could leave it behind
I didn’t know how to get from there to here

Epigrams and parables, mountains of stones
You coloured my world in sepia tone
I knew it then, I know it’s true
So many things I could’ve told you
You wouldn’t believe it

I didn’t know what you wanted from me
I didn’t know the boy in the frame
I didn’t know the revisions and re-imaginings
I didn’t know the rules of the game
I didn’t know how to begin to change
I didn’t know how to stay the same

Dark rooms and stage lights, I’m standing alone
Colouring my world in sepia tone
I knew it then, I still know it’s true
So many things I could’ve told you
You wouldn’t believe it

Who’s that boy in that car - the gear box, the wheels squealing
How fast will he go, and how far ‘til he stops speeding?
Who’s the boy with that guitar? Where’d he get it? What was he thinking?
How fast will he drift and how far ‘til he stops dreaming?

Sunday after church, she was in the car with me alone
Colouring my world in sepia tone
You were tapping on the window, I was driving away
Thinking of all the words I should say

I knew it then and I still know it’s true
So many things I should’ve told you
You wouldn’t believe it, you wouldn’t believe
I knew it then it still strikes me as true
So many things I could’ve told you
You wouldn’t believe, you wouldn’t believe it
You wouldn’t believe, you wouldn’t believe it
You wouldn’t believe
