Third Eye Blind

Songwriter: Stephan Jenkins

[Verse 1]
I never played blues 'til Stevie Ray Vaughan
I never felt you 'til you were gone
And all of our shadows grow taller than trees
And all of my good means nothing to me

[Post-Verse]
Don't let go
Never say I told you so, yeah

[Verse 2]
If there was a word for what I did to myself
And all the longing and nothing else
If there was a word for longing and peace
Until you give me some sweet release

[Post-Verse]
Oh, I'd let go
I'd let go, yeah

[Chorus]
We can't say we didn't get it
We can't say wе didn't try
We can't say we didn't get it
All thе way
We can't say we didn't sing it
Every single night
We can't say we didn't get it
All the way

[Post-Chorus]
I finally let her go

[Verse 3]
And our statues look into the pond
If there's a laugh for after dawn
And all the bullies say you just want one day
I didn't know they threw it all away

[Chorus]
We can't say we didn't get it
We can't say we didn't try
We can't say we didn't get it
All the way
We can't say we didn't sing it
Every single night
We can't say we didn't get it
All the way

[Verse 4]
I never liked blues 'til Stevie Ray Vaughan
I never felt you 'til you were gone
And all of our shadows grow taller than trees
And all of my good means nothing to me

[Bridge]
Woo, yeah
Woo

[Chorus]
We can't say we didn't get it
We can't say we didn't try
We can't say we didn't get it
All the way
We can't say we didn't live it
Every single night
We can't say we didn't sing it
All the way

[Outro]
I finally let her go
I finally let her go
I finally let her go

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
