  • If there's anything you want
    Come on back cause it's all still here
    I'll be in the back room drinking my half of the beer
    And if you and me is so right
    Why's it the same thing every night

    It's just a matter of time
    It's almost measurable
    Imagination ain't kind on us tonight

    You're at your best when you got the guns turned a hundred
    Eighty degrees
    And finding out if it adds all up right
    We go through all the same lines or sell out to appease
    But go to sleep in a bed of lies
    I made my own more than once or twice

    And now time is my time time is my own
    And I feel so alive yet feel so alone
    'Cause you know you're the one and that that hasn't changed
    Since you were nineteen and still in school waiting on a light
    On the corner by sound exchange Writer/s: DANIEL BRITT

  • Joe from Washington DcSome people call this song Sound Exchange. Britt told a crowd at The Parish he didn't mind that at all. I hope this song never falls off their live playlist. Such a perfect sentiment and tone for struggling through a relationship or looking back at one.
