lyrics

Music and lyrics by Robby Lester

Sam came from the back of a freight train
with a backpack on his back
Emily came from Maine
in a station-wagon-spaceship
Or something like that

In between conversations
on that porch
where Justin and I have smoked
so many cigarettes
We're trying to make sense
of love and life
Life and love and loss

Devon came from the forests
of northern Wisconsin
Jannelle came from the Peg
Two-thousand K away

In between conversations
on that porch
where Sam and I have drank
so many home-brewed bottles of beer
We're trying to make sense
of love and life
Life and love and loss
And I never want to hurt
another kindred spirit
for as long as I live
but I know I will

And Emily talked about her friends
who exchanged hands
in ceromony
They shared a couple vows
"Will you hurt this person?"
"Yes, I will"
"Is that your intention?"
"No, it's not"

Building a world inside a world
doesn't always develop as planned
Building a world inside a world
doesn't always end in a story-book fashion
But they couldn't stop us if we tried
They couldn't stop us if they tried
