lyrics

When I heard about the things that were said
I tucked them away in the back of my head
It was not my job to put you into your place
I should've been better
I should've had grace

Now I'm alone, mom, at 33
Am I the man you envisioned your baby boy to be
Everywhere I go I feel so out of place
But I can survive
If I have grace

Grace

I'm feeling so disgusted with the things I've done
If I am a winner, then what is it that I have won?
Thought I could find a virtue in saving face
I got my way
But I lost my grace

When I wake I wonder
Is it possible to be
As beautiful as the starlit sky
As expansive as the sea
Like the sun, she also rises
But can she light my way
Through the darkness of this coldest place
That I must face everyday

I don't know
Where will I find her
I don't know
Where can she be
I want a girl like the ones on my TV
Just one I want who wants me

Pretty and smart
She'll love wrestling and art
The Perfect Girl
In an imperfect world
I don't know where
If she's somewhere out there
With some other man
Who's not half what I am

The Perfect Girl

Is it really fair
To hold out in despair
For this ridiculous notion
That perfection is there
Time to throw out my list
She can't even exist
The Perfect Girl
From my fantasy world

The Perfect Girl

You can never go back
You can never give in
You can never reveal
What you believe in

Don't talk trash or politics
Or about anything that makes them sick

If I could go back and forget them all
You were the only one I noticed walking down the hall

And if I had one wish
I just might
Wish you were here
With me tonight

But if we can't let go
We can't move on
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong

If we can't let go
We can't move on
It doesn't really matter who's right or wrong

If we can't let go
We can't move on

If we can't let go
We can't move on

Yeah, Folk Legend
Play another folk song for me
Are you still the Legend?

Yes, he's still a Folk Legend
He'll always be a Folk Legend
Forevermore a Folk Legend

Fourtitude Indianapolis, Indiana

David Spencer and Ryan Farrar met at Saint Joseph's College in Indiana, and it wasn't long before they formed Fourtitude. Years later, in the summer of 2013, the two of them decided to get back together to write and record an album based on their time and experiences at St. Joe. They recruited their friend Michael Garrity to play bass, and the rest, as they say, is history. ... more
