Nothing I Can Do About It - Idlewild

When you get older and that novelty goes

And all you can see is just a burned out candle

Where there used to be flames

There’s only absence smoking away

All that art was made to be made

And not to be kept by no one

Not even the one who made it

It’s full of the things that you said

And forgotten that you could still say

Every time by time

I think I know what I’m talking about

There are a million suns

Not just the one you’re sitting under

And there’s

Nothing I can do about it

There’s nothing I can do or say

There’s nothing I can do about it

Even if I could

I’d only walk away

When you get older and that novelty goes

Of mixing up myths with music that uses hope

To keep within despair

You can make sure the bookshelves are alphabetical

Poetical, non political

Over a glass of Ricard at the Grey Cat Cafe

Every time by time

I think I know what I’m talking about

Taking a breath was the only thing certain

But even now that’s not so certain

And there’s

Nothing I can do about it

There’s nothing I can do or say

There’s nothing I can do about it

Even if I could

I’d only walk away

And there’s

Nothing I can do about it

There’s nothing I can do or say

There’s nothing I can do about it

Even if I could

I’d only walk away

I’d only walk away
