I used to think that Love was something you taught to me, But now I know the truth was never all that hard to see, You taught me something real, you taught me something raw, Breaking up with you was never something I foresaw, And now you’re telling me there’s no way around, And there’s nothing left, there’s nothing left for us, And now I know there’s something real (just what you mean), But I never knew it ‘til our time had come, oh yeah (But it’s time to say goodbye, and I know, yeah) I used to think that Love was something I got from you, But now I know that you could never, never do, You taught me something real, you taught me something raw, Now I know what I have to do

Taking Over 03:49
I was swimming in the sea of regrets taking over me, yeah Oo, you gotta live for yourself, You can’t live for no one else, Taking over, (taking over), you’re taking over, Taking over me, yeah You’re taking over, (taking over), you’re taking over, Taking over me, yeah
3.
Oh, let the sun return its rays, In a state of restlessness I call you back home, Let the wind fall over all that's taking over, In love, yeah, I reach out to your arms and I fall back To your heart, and let it fall around, I'm mistaken, it is not you who is my god, I rest my weary bones and I turn my face to you, My Lord and savior everything, Looking down I see your eyes, they're turned to face away, I've never felt this restless in my soul, and I can feel it's time to say goodbye, and I know, I never meant to hurt you, Never meant to cause you any pain, It's hard to say goodbye when I know that you and I were meant to be, It's hard to see the way you look at me, It’s hard to say goodbye when I know you and I were meant to be, My Lord and savior everything.
4.
I knew that you were no good for me, I know that you would end up leaving me, I should have run the second I saw you, But something about you I couldn’t resist, Oh, mama, why do they all do this to me? I’m just trying to be good, I said mama, why do they all do this to me? I’m just trying to be good in this world of woes, Mama, why do they all do this to me? I’m just trying to be good in this world of woes, Mama, why do they all just run away Once they see how much I really love? Mama, I wish I had never met this man, I didn’t know what I was thinking, I should have run, And now I don’t know how I’ll get over all the pain, Maybe you

Rob: How many nights I’ve thought of you, How did I think this could be true? Where did you go and leave me here? I wish you’d stayed, I want you near, I think that we could have made it work, (x2) Adrienne (Alexandra, Rob): How many nights I’ve thought of you (there you are), How did I think this could be true? (there you are), Where did you go and leave me here? (there you are), Oh how I wish you could be here with me, What did I think would happen in the end? Rob: Was it easy to leave when I asked you to stay? I never thought you’d run away, Adrienne: It wasn’t easy to leave when you asked me to stay, I never thought you’d hurt me this way, Adrienne, Alexandra, Rob: How many nights I’ve thought of you, How did I think this could be true?

about

"Spirit Level is Boston's own all-star power pop band and this is their debut album. Pop vocal prowess followed by shredding back-to-back guitar and synth solos supported by virtuosically grid-like rhythm section playing; familiar lyrics with familiar themes that manage to leave you surprised; Anthemic future-past pop musings; this is the stuff of "Dinner with the Devil" by Spirit Level. What year is it?" - Jonathan Nankof, founder and owner of Erased! Tapes

Available for order on tape, and out on Erased! Tapes (Boston) at erased-tapes.bandcamp.com/album/dinner-with-the-devil !
