Five Years Coming lyrics
by Eric Anderson
It’s been five years coming
And one thing i can attest
Is the simple songs of hope i wrote
Have always been my best
It’s been five years coming
I can say i always knew
I had sixty months of stale air
Shoot through my lungs
When i fell in bed with you
(my fingers)
Trace your back’s outline
(no tattoos)
Just clean skin on which i can write
(thick letters)
An x you don’t have to sign
(if you’ve got one more year)
I will be yours my dear
I would be yours my dear
It’s been five years coming
Just a-tickin’ to the day
You would corner me in kitchens
Mumble words i thought you’d say
For five years coming
So f*ck no, i won’t resist
We lay quietly, an artifact
Observable now that we’re chest to chest
(my fingers)
Trace your back’s outline
(no tattoos)
Just clean skin on which i can write
(thick letters)
An x you don’t have to sign
(if you’ve got one more year)
I will be yours my dear
I would be yours my dear
