lyrics
She cut her long hair off to her ears
She said, “I’m ready for change.”
I took the long way driving her home
Hoping to buy myself some time beside her
“I need a real man, honey. Make some real plans.”
Echoing in my head
I wanna know what’s dragging her down
I hope to God she doesn’t change her mind
Honey, you’re worth it
Looking for a heartbeat, caught up in a whirlwind
Baby, I’m nervous
Looking in your wide eyes, you’re one in a million
I grew my short hair down to my lips;
the way she likes it
Hoping appearance is enough to keep the wheels turning
Makes me wonder, “Is just my beating heart enough?”
I came out swinging like I’m trying to start a fire
With some branches and some gasoline
Hope like a phoenix in the night, we’ll arise
Lighting up what we could be
I’m feeling like a smoking gun
You tell me everything is fine
But don’t you try and save face, love
We both know I can read your mind
And with the embers slowly burning down
I’m reminded that love is blind
And in my favorite t-shirt, you kiss me like the first time
If you can believe me
Struggle through the riptide, fight my way to your side
Chasing that feeling
Looking in your bright eyes
Make me wanna change; I wanna be worth it
‘Cause, honey, you’re worth it
She said, “I’m ready for change.”
I took the long way driving her home
Hoping to buy myself some time beside her
“I need a real man, honey. Make some real plans.”
Echoing in my head
I wanna know what’s dragging her down
I hope to God she doesn’t change her mind
Honey, you’re worth it
Looking for a heartbeat, caught up in a whirlwind
Baby, I’m nervous
Looking in your wide eyes, you’re one in a million
I grew my short hair down to my lips;
the way she likes it
Hoping appearance is enough to keep the wheels turning
Makes me wonder, “Is just my beating heart enough?”
I came out swinging like I’m trying to start a fire
With some branches and some gasoline
Hope like a phoenix in the night, we’ll arise
Lighting up what we could be
I’m feeling like a smoking gun
You tell me everything is fine
But don’t you try and save face, love
We both know I can read your mind
And with the embers slowly burning down
I’m reminded that love is blind
And in my favorite t-shirt, you kiss me like the first time
If you can believe me
Struggle through the riptide, fight my way to your side
Chasing that feeling
Looking in your bright eyes
Make me wanna change; I wanna be worth it
‘Cause, honey, you’re worth it

Patterns in the Static
by The Classic Crimesupported by 4 fans who also own “Worth It”
Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack!
