lyrics

I kept all my limbs crossed
Talking to a god I don't believe in
But it's worth the shot if he's listening
You've been gone a lot
And I got good at playing twister
Oh my hands are getting blistered

But I don't know how to say it
And you don't want to talk about it
I know we're gonna dance around it

'til I'm walking down the aisle
And you're sat there like I'm
Stumbling up to trial
Ih you're watching burning holes
Into the back of my skull
I'll shrink down like a child
As you say it's been a while
It's been a while

Boxed you up in my head
Like an old friend sitting in the corner
Sipping small talk, how's your brother?
But you know you know my skin too well
My bones the things I couldn't tell
To dress up like acquaintances
Oh lord knows it's too late for this

Cause I'm walking down the aisle
And you're sat there like I'm
Stumbling up to trial
Oh you're watching burning holes
Into the back of my skull
I'll shrink down like a child
As you say it's been a while
It's been a while

It's been a while
It's been a while
It's been a while

It's been a while
It's been a while
It's been a while

It's been a while
It's been a while
It's been a while

It's been a while

And oh I know in the back of my skull
I'll shrink down like a child
As you say it's been a while
It's been a while

Time Ain't Accidental
by Jess Williamson

supported by 8 fans who also own “it's been a while”

This is a record about that most important and yet most difficult thing: faith. It is spellbinding in its emotional honesty and heartbreaking in its invitation to intimacy. Don't pass it by. narvikwinter

I can sadly only choose between anything and dragon eyes for my favorite track, but then I realized it probably is anything. The rest of the album and its instrumental sister album are both amazing and imo her best release thus far. 9/10 angrypizza98
