How It Got Started Lyrics - Singles - Abbott Hayes

I want to take photographs of things that are real 

But science does not come to my aid 

It brings forth these questions and theories I feel 

It opposes and challenges my faith 

Like why does the grass grow? 

The leaves turn and fall? 

The moon that draws back all those waves? 

And how'd it get started? We couldn't recall 

That's knowledge too great to be retained 

She told me that she never liked my opinions 

Call them askew and a waste of her time 

Instead of writing each song with some meaning 

All you do is lie boy, you lie boy you lie 

So what if I've got my convictions 

When the day is done I can say i tried 

Because I can't stop the world from spinning 

But what I can do is take her out of my life 

I must choose wisely the next note that I play 

It determines the rest of the strain 

The rhythm, the arrangement and melodies made 

It's the only thing keeping me sane 

That's why I absorb myself deep in each song 

In hopes that it whisks me away 

But the parts never last long enough and the chords growing faint 

And eventually the band leaves the stage 

She told me that she never loved me for my music 

Called it abrasive and tasteless and trite 

Instead of singing each song with some feeling 

All you do it whine boy, you whine, boy you whine 

Watch me as I won't accept her position 

Turned calloused and biased over night (over time) 

I tip my head to the side just grinning 

Singing darling I never loved you for your mind
