lyrics
if I knew you I’d make you the best thing I can with my hands
if I knew you I’d write you a song with fewer words
and if I was alone, if I was free, I’d give you the time that I have
but I’ll leave it and leave it and leave it
and I’ll see you around sometime
will you know that there’s something on my side?
I need you to know but I can’t say
I’ve settled with someone above me and god damn I’m trying to be good
the love that I thought I would never deserve
cause I’m too difficult
he knows I have problems and I can’t sit still without
crashing and burning
and crying and turning our world upside down
cause I’m scared, I’m so scared
so I’m sitting here thinking about you
and I feel like a sinner
cause I love what I have but I want it all
in my greed and my childishness
and he’ll stick by me but I’ll hurt him
and I’ll hold both my hands to his chest
and I won’t let you know, I’ll be safe and go home
and I won’t lose a thing and I’ll sleep without dreams
he will cry in the night, we’ll let time make it right
and we’ll go on,
we’ll go on
if I knew you I’d write you a song with fewer words
and if I was alone, if I was free, I’d give you the time that I have
but I’ll leave it and leave it and leave it
and I’ll see you around sometime
will you know that there’s something on my side?
I need you to know but I can’t say
I’ve settled with someone above me and god damn I’m trying to be good
the love that I thought I would never deserve
cause I’m too difficult
he knows I have problems and I can’t sit still without
crashing and burning
and crying and turning our world upside down
cause I’m scared, I’m so scared
so I’m sitting here thinking about you
and I feel like a sinner
cause I love what I have but I want it all
in my greed and my childishness
and he’ll stick by me but I’ll hurt him
and I’ll hold both my hands to his chest
and I won’t let you know, I’ll be safe and go home
and I won’t lose a thing and I’ll sleep without dreams
he will cry in the night, we’ll let time make it right
and we’ll go on,
we’ll go on

There's Always Glimmer
by Gia Margaretsupported by 10 fans who also own “Sinner”
This is thoughtful and melancholy, but not morose -- there is hope in its sheer beauty. Her sensitivity as an arranger and producer is as impressive as her songwriting and singing; the whole album has a lovely sense of texture and space.
