lyrics

I know how to quit the mountains
I know how to quit the sun
I know how to quit the need I have
To win over everyone

I can hold me down in valley
I can black out all the light
I can tell myself I don’t need to be perfect to be right

But I wish I knew how to quit you
Oh I wish I knew how to quit you

I know how to love another
I know how to make her smile
I know how to hold her baby as if I recognise the child

But my heart is with you lover
And her lips are in denial
And your empty hands are beckoning for a life so infantile

But I wish I knew how to quit you
Oh I wish I knew how to quit you

I know how to quit the mountains
I know how to quit the sun
I know how to quit the need I have
To win over everyone

I can hold me down in valley
I can black out all the light
I can tell myself I don’t need to be perfect to be right

But I wish I knew how to quit you
Oh I wish, I wish I knew
How to quit, how to quit you
Oh I wish I knew how to quit you

His music is undeniably pop, but drawn from an era when pop music had a brain, a soul, and a heart. ... more
