Houston Calls – Behind the Gun

15Jan09

Houston Calls is a pop-punk band based in New Jersey.

They have this one song I really like, called Behind the Gun. It’s from their October 2008 album, The End of an Error. I was trying to look for its lyrics so I could sync it using MiniLyrics, but I couldn’t find them. This surprised me, because since the song’s so catchy, I thought for sure it was mainstream already. So, I made these. I hope they’re right. I mishear lyrics a lot, so.

Anyway, link will be up as soon as Mediafire stops being stupid.

Title: Behind the Gun

It’s like we know the words and melodies
but we’re singing them in half-time
I lean in closer
feel you breathing
your eyes look away
and I stop on a dime

But I believe
in the in the life that we seek
can far outweigh
the risk we take

Could this be everything that I wanted?
Could I be the one you were waiting for?
A different time and place
we can’t erase these footsteps anymore

A second glance,
a sight of smile,
we snuggled knowingly in hindsight.

We traffic nuances and sophistry
We steal our escapes making use of sleights

And damn the states
of our hearts and minds
as our resolve slowly unwinds

Could this be everything that I wanted?
Could I be the one you were waiting for?
A different time and place
we can’t erase these footsteps anymore

My eyes wide open
It’s poetry in motion
how our minds could let us pretend

My heart’s not in it
My mind goes by the minute
whether I wanna see how this ends
yeah, see how this ends

Could this be everything that I wanted?
Could I be the one you were waiting for?
A different time and place
we can’t erase these footsteps anymore

If we could start again
would we want to?
Then why are we always behind the gun?
If you’re only out for answers,
greener pastures
you’re not the only one

not the only one
You’re not the only one
