V1
If I have one, I might as well have two
If I have two, I might as well have ten
Now, I don't need to count the rest
I think we both no how the story ends
I'm on your front porch
I need a place to sleep
Oh, love's gonna be the death of me
The death of me
Love's gonna be the death of me
(The death of me, yeah...)
V2
I tried hard to play my cards just right
Beginner's luck usually gets me through the night
But after one kiss it hits the fan
A flush of bleeding hearts in my hand
I grab a band-aid, but what's the rush?
Oh, love's gonna be the death of us
The death of us
Love's gonna be the death of us
(The death of us)
BRIDGE
Here we rest eternal, here we rest in peace, we
Say a little prayer for the love deceased, we
Bury our desire, burning all the lust, till it's
Ash to ashes
Dust to dust
V3
Now you will never speak to me again
It's all my fault and I cannot pretend
There was a sign post I did not see
Drivin' the wrong way down
A one way street
And now the car's wrapped
Around a bus
Oh, love's gonna be the death of us
The death of us
Aaron Lee Tasjan is one my favorite artists. I feel a kindred spirit to his songwriting, and lyrically he is right up there with all the greats. This cat makes me cry and laugh in the same song. Theo Katzman

I was initially drawn toward Vulfpeck's earlier instrumental tracks. This album effectively earned my respect for their vocal works. Listening to "Running Away" and "Baby I Don't Know" is like uncovering buried gems from the 1970's. "Hero Town" sounds like an instrumental outtake from Three Dog Night's "Hard Labor" album with deeper bass, earning my respect for Jack Stratton's mixing skills. I would love to see him do a masterclass for mixing in the Vulf Conservatory. t0cktock
