lyrics

The night was cold
Her cheeks were freezing
Our voices low
Childish and teasing

And I drove home
Feeling that feeling
By now I know
The trouble in opening up

The trouble in opening up

It’s enough
I’m spilling my guts
It’s so dangerous
When a boy’s good at bleeding
It hurts just to touch

Scared as hell
That she gives me reasons
To feel so right
Yet so defeated

It pissed me off
She kissed it off
And that’s the trouble in opening up

The trouble in opening up

It’s enough
I’m spilling my guts
It’s so dangerous
When a boy’s good at bleeding
It hurts just to touch

I’m done being tough
I’m filling my cup
When a boy’s good at drinking
He drinks way too much

Transparency’s the enemy
And love you can’t pretend to be
A brick wall when you’re just a (sheet?)
Or heartless when you where it on your sleeve…

It’s enough
I’m spilling my guts
It’s so dangerous
When a boy’s good at bleeding
It hurts just to touch

I’m done being tough
I’m filling my cup
When a boy’s good at drinking

He drinks way too much.

about

The Blakes Asbury Park, New Jersey

We led a pretty short but exciting life as a band. We formed in the fall of 2001 under the premise of making unapologetic, over-the-top power pop music. It started as more of an outlet for our guilty pleasures than an actual band, but as we began working together, writing, recording, and eventually performing we realized that we really had something special.
