Name: Knew a Girl
Duration: P00H03M46S
Description: This song started as a simple slow acoustic guitar and vocal tune, then sat in storage for 6 years. I liked the riff so occasionally I went back to it and tried all different instrumentation and sounds. I could never get it to work, though, until this summer, when I sped up the tempo, re-recorded the vocals, and added the heavy guitars. Enjoy!

lyrics

Knew a girl who talked so sweet
Arm in arm down the street
Tripping on the way home
Wishing on a skipping stone

Waiting to be
I’m still waiting for me
And I know

Knew a girl who talked so cool
Skipping classes, skipping school
Carpet on the basement wall
Kissing in the closet hall

I will, I will, steal her soul for me
I will I will steal her soul for me

There’s something about the water in the well
There’s something about the secrets she won’t tell

Loved her so to such degree
Vowed my life and her to me
Together we fell down that well
Rode that fever clear to hell

I will, I will steal her soul for me
I will, I will be her victory
