Taylor Blackwell - Never Could Lyrics

      

Never Could
by Taylor Blackwell

Verse 1
You said "it’s good to be a muse"
Like Marianne and Leonard, I’ll write my songs for you
And if you stick out your hand, you might almost reach mine
I believe in the stars, but they don’t always align

Chorus
I lit a candle for every lost cat
In my neighborhood
I made a shrine, under the sign
Where the dance hall stood
I took a vow, this I stay true
Always and always choose good
These things I gave my heart to, but for you
I never could

Verse 2
You don’t like sand in your shoes
But you chase me on the beach like there’s nothing to losе
You quote your favorite poets, and you spеak of them as saints
I believe in free will, but also in fate
And, darling of mine, you’re a little too late

Chorus
I lit a candle for every lost cat
In my neighborhood
I made a shrine, under the sign
Where the dance hall stood
I took a vow, this I stay true
Always and always choose good
These things I gave my heart to, but for you
I never could

Verse 3
You hold me in your arms, it’s like you know it’s the last time
God feeds the ravens that appear to us as signs
Every psychic says you're for me as they chase me down the street
You give your heart so fully, but your love
I just can’t meet

Chorus
I lit a candle for every lost cat
In my neighborhood
I made a shrine, under the sign
Where the dance hall stood
I took a vow, this I stay true
Always and always choose good
These things I gave my heart to, but for you
I never could
I never could
I never could
I never could
I never
