Substitute Lyrics by Peggy Sue

Choir of Echoes

2014

[Verse 1]
The light won't last, the seasons pass
And trees, they lose their leaves
Like I shed that dress for you
And the fading blue
Now I'm killing time with someone new
It rains each moment of you
[Chorus]
Cause you won't let me go where you go
So I head where you don't want me to
If you won't see me off with a smile
The harsh burns of sweetest substitute
[Verse 2]
The days grow vain, the lines all fade
A turning page, the edges haze
A burning photograph
A burning photograph
A letter, so many times redrafted
I don't remember where I even started
[Chorus]
'Cause you won't let me go where you go
So I head where you won't want me to
If you won't see me off with a smile
Oh harsh burns or sweetest substitute
[Outro]
'Cause I could love you, I could love you, i could love you
Yeah i could love you if i wanted to
(I could love you, I could love you)
You said I was cool, always was cool, always was cool
I could be, you always fell in love too
