lyrics

Bigger Than The Two Of Us.
Lyrics and Music by Dave Wright
©2016

Drive about an hour from here, to the place where it all ended,
By the side of that long hard road.
She would say we were never happy, I get that she’s forgetting,
We could never be just friends.

This is not the time or the place to go
Holding on to tragedy,
There’s not enough liquor in this place.

I remember a long hot summer, spent at her father’s cabin,
By the side of that dark mountain range.
Did it go with the loss of the first child, that day in the terrible bush fires?
Did it go when I couldn’t speak my truths?

This is not the time or the place to go
Holding on to tragedy,
There’s not enough liquor in this place.
It was the first I felt the hurt of something
Bigger than the two of us,
Something only time and distance can erase.

But now the night- time crowds on in,
I’m left here with just my thoughts and demons,
Knowing how things would’ve been so different,
Had I stayed.

Drive about an hour from here, to the place where it all started,
Where she couldn’t speak those truths.
And I guess I know now, all of her cards they were marked,
But sometimes the best hands don’t pay out.

This is not the time or the place to go
Holding on to tragedy,
There’s not enough liquor in this place.
It was the first I felt the hurt of something
Bigger than the two of us,
Something only time and distance can erase,
Something only time and distance can erase,
Something only time and distance can erase.

about

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric image

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric Melbourne, Australia

Singer/songwriter/bandleader Dave Wright is after one thing: A perfect 4-minute pop song.
When he puts pen to paper and pick to guitar strings, however, the Melburnian-by-way-of-Colac knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons … and death. Lots of death. ... more
