lyrics

When it comes right down to the bottom of it,
There's not much else to say,
Except that when I'm down to the bottom of it,
I seem less every day.
And now my words seem worthless,
Yet I'll follow your way,
Because I feel more and more like shit,
But you love me anyway.

I'm not saying I'd fuck this up, no that's just not me.
But I'll put everything I have into this.
If this vessel sails into some stormy sea's,
We can rely on each others faithfulness.
As I get fat and old and break out at the seams,
I know we'd lay awake in all our bliss.
I'm hollowed out in self esteem,
You've done it too, it's not a low we feel when we kiss.

I soaked it all in cheaper things, but you know life's too short,
I'll be sterilizing every knife.
For every wound that breaks my skin will leave a little more,
Then a scar embracing feeling alive.
Life's too short for the cheaper things, still standing at the port,
Watching slowly, around me, and leaping from me, life.
Life's too short for the cheaper things, we'll drink imports,
And feel the realness soak our tongues in life.

I'm sorry I'm just me and nothing more,
But that's all you ever get, and all you'll ever see.
I'm complete in being incomplete,
And still feeling swept off your feet,
And something satisfying,
In knowing you could find better.

But you're choosing to love the real me.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
