2011. I put this song on a compilation for Start Something NJ called "Live Fast, Get Folked" with a ton of amazing artists.
lyrics
I've been holding out for better
I'm not gonna let this ever
Find a way back to me
Seen as the hungriest these days
until I see a familiar face
and they cut right through
and it's sweet.
So what if just for tonight
I hold my insides inside
I now know you by the letter
am I gonna know you forever?
Probably, get used to it
It's so ridiculous we say
everything that we don't convey
that was never there in the first place
So what if just for tonight
I hold my insides
Where did you go?
