lyrics

Well my heart, oh it is storm-tossed.
I should've warned you when our stars crossed
of this tempest in my chest.
Yea, cause I get lost. I go capsized and shipwrecked.
I'll give you the best of me but, trust me, you don't want the rest.
And though the odds are stacked against me, still you're willing to place your bet.
Cause I can't give you all of me, oh but please take what you can get.
Lady, you should know. There's a shadow that follows me.
I'm afraid that one day I'll hang from my own family tree.
Yea, cause I always thought that I chose my cards wisely.
Oh, but maybe they were dealt to me
by some other desperate heart.
And I admire how hard you're trying but I'm afraid my course is set.
Cause I can't give you all of me, oh but please take what you can get.
So batten down the hatches cause there's no way that you'll stay dry.
Can I believe you'll journey with me when the winds and waters rise?
Consider this your final warning. Yea when all of this goes adrift
and you get to see the worst in me, please don't abandon ship.
For now we'll set out through the shallows
but maybe one day we'll brave the depths
and I'll surrender all of me until there's nothing left to give.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
