Splinters Songtext
von Austin Lucas

She said that too many people
Know nothing about the world
They ain′t been in love and they ain't seen enough
They all wanna sing along
It′s easy to do
When there ain't a damn bit of heart in a song
It ain't got no soul
Honey, that ain′t rock and roll
So we lit out like two bats out of hell
We were young and we were full of life
Singing along to "I′d do anything for love
Find paradise by the dashboard light"
She said, "Jesus was a carpenter
And you're a semi-known singer of songs
You feed the spirit, he′ll house the soul"
Honey, I'm just a wrecker of homes
They say that it′s a splinter
And sap from evergreen
A bruise on your elbow
A little skin off your knee


But if it's only blood and a busted lip
Just a crack in your perfect teeth
Tell me, why does it hurt so bad?
Tell me why
When I slam the door and leave
So I said, "What′s with all this talk of the savior?
I know he's yours, but he sure ain't mine"
She said, "You ain′t gotta be a believer
To hold a place in his grand design"
Well, she looked so cute wrapped up in her faith
So I kissed her where she stood
I was filled up with bad intentions
Oh, but Lord, those intentions felt good
They say that it′s a splinter
And sap from evergreen
A bruise on your elbow
A little skin off your knee
But if it's only blood and a busted lip
Just a crack in your perfect teeth
Tell me, why does it hurt so bad?
Tell me why
When I slam the door and leave
They say that it′s a splinter
And sap from evergreen
A bruise on your elbow
A little skin off your knee
But if it's only blood and a busted lip
Just a crack in your perfect teeth
Tell me, why does it hurt so bad?
Tell me why
When I slam the door and leave
