Only Losing Me (acoustic)

from Between The X's & The O's by Willie Wisely

/

lyrics

Somewhere in my parallel you lie a little
To what’s left of my middle, that’s your right

Somewhere in four directions
I could fly on a riddle
In your arms, but they’re brittle and I fall

The tricks you got away with make me cringe
That I’m okay with your massive passing fancy finding free
That’s OK, you’re only losing me
Hey, if change is meant to be
And losing was okay
We’d give in and agree
True, we’ll let blame be the sign
That you were never really mine
The way you’d want to see
You’re only losing me

Somewhere by the bedside
I feign that I’m little
When you play noncommittal

When someone so peripheral
Can’t sustain even bliss
Pull, shoot and miss
Then we kiss
All we wish for
Goodbye

The one’s you played a game with
Stitched and staid
I walk away with
A birthdays half-forgotten memory
Puzzle piece,
You’re only losing me
Hey, if change is meant to be
And losing was okay
We’d give in then agree
True, we’ll let blame be the sign
That you were never really mine
The way you’d want to see
You’re only losing me

Hey, hey
True, well love does not unwind
And you were never really mine
The way you’d want to see
You’re only losing me

Hey, if change is meant to be
And losing was okay
You’re only losing me

Willie Wisely Saint Paul, Minnesota

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto. ... more
