All About You

The sad ones never hurt the most
The happy ones are hard
They used to make you glow and I miss your dancing

The way your limp left hand would shake
At every instrumental break
You looked just like a little girl on Christmas

They were all about you
They were all about you
I hope that you knew that all along

When I’d expose my heart aloud
And you were standing in the crowd
You’d hush em down and drown out all thier laughter

When you’re not where you ought to be
And no one else is listening
I wonder who you’re looking at and after

They were all about you
They were all about you
But I like to think you knew that all the time
Every accidental imperfected rhyme

I had to leave where we had lived
The street still wore your locket
And the driveway thinks you’re coming home to see him
The clubs where I had cut my teeth
Are filled with only empty seats
And the drinks are not enough to keep me singing

They were all about you
They were all about you
They’re still all about you
But I know that you knew that all a long
Every night and day
And every simple song
