Let Him Lie - Chumped

I put your record on

I sing the song you wrote

And you’re a world away

But I feel closer to home

I know I left behind

Things I’ve loved before

But I give you my heart

Dearest Eleanor

Eleanor, remember when you used to drive me home?

After I played you the first song I wrote

You said you thought it had potential

Eleanor, remember when we used to sit alone?

We wouldn’t speak over the stereo

Because we knew we didn’t have to

Eleanor, I know it’s been a long time

Since we were young and full of longing

But I never let you go

I put your record on

I sing the song you wrote

And you’re a world away

But I feel closer to home

I know I left behind

Things I’ve loved before

But I give you my heart

Dearest Eleanor

Eleanor, remember when we used to hate the kids

Who didn’t understand our politics?

We didn’t care, we were self-righteous

Eleanor, we were all so full of suffering

We had a catalog of songs to sing

That would help us to forget

Eleanor, I know it’s been a long time

Since we were young and full of longing

But I never let you go

I put your record on

I sing the song you wrote

And you’re a world away

But I feel closer to home

I know I left behind

Things I’ve loved before

But I give you my heart

Dearest Eleanor
