If Love Was More

ObedientWavesc/oMillionKids-TheStarDust1
We're still in the studio recording Obedient Waves's next ep, Rumble Fish, and, really, we're all freaking out about it. It's gonna be awesome. You'll see. And I know we're usually all punk rock & heavy duty rah rah rah, but there's a ballad of sorts on this one & we're debuting it at Bordello tonight. I still haven't memorized the lyrics, even though I wrote em (duh), so I'm doing that now. Here's a lil peak, but you'll have to make it out tonight to hear what they sound like set to music...

(p.s. It's call & answer, thus the "B" for Billy & "J" for Jo before each line.)

IF LOVE WAS MORE

J- If love was more like getting high
Than falling down
Well, I might try
B- If love was more like Hollywood
Than my home town
Maybe I could
J- I would fall in love with you
B- I would fall in love with you

I would fall in love with you

B- If love felt more like being young
Than getting old
Hell, I'd get sprung
J- If love would just stop playing games
Acting so cold
I'd be in flames
B- I would fall in love with you
J- I would fall in love with you

I would fall in love with you!

But it aint'
so I won't
And you c'aint
So let's don't
go there
go there
it's just not
sorry hun
thanks a lot
it was fun
oh well
oh well

J- If love hurt more like growing pains
Than cracking bones
I'd break these chains
B- If love looked more like happiness
I'd get the jones
And worry less
J- I would fall in love with you
B- I would fall in love with you

I would fall in love with you

B- If love worked more like having fun
Than going mad
You'd be the one
J- If love could just stop placing blame
I'd want you bad
And without shame
B- I would fall in love with you
J- I would fall in love with you

I would fall in love with you!

But it aint'
so I won't
And you c'aint
So let's don't
go there
go there
it's just not
sorry hun
thanks a lot
it was fun
oh well
oh well
mmmm
