This song originally appeared as a simple acoustic song on Culture & Consequence. The version here is a vast improvement, complete with an added bridge and guitar solo. The 12 string guitar really chimes on this one.
lyrics
Hope can be the honest answer to the faction
We're leading up to all the action
of open minds and big attraction
Where credit cards can never do you wrong
And high is low, and fast can turn to achingly slow
The vision that you saw last night is
soft and darkly in disguises
Where nothing ever wanted them to be
And love is all a question that we both can answer
So lay it on me quickly as I count the stars that lead me tonight
and hold me close as ever what you see
And trust is just a consequence
of nature's own admonishment
I wish you'd take the time to see
We hold our hands
The placecard saves the page from turning
A thousand trees are never burning
and gentlemen are always learning
About the one you never really knew
