It Ain't Why, It Just Is

from an extended play. by Quinn Devlin

lyrics

Well, Tori came up the block
With her portable stereo.
We’d sit upon the driveway
And listen to Brother Jack blow.

She said, “turn it up.”
She said, “soak it in.
Let it ride you on down, child
When the walls they cave in.”

You know it used to be so simple
When you dig just what you dig.
Nobody asks you questions,
It ain’t why, it just is.

We’d take that train
Up to Asbury Park.
“Bring your camera along, girl.
And a flash for when it gets dark.”

We would talk inspiration,
The kind that comes from the unkown.
“Have you ever transcended,
When you’re strung out on the floor?”

You know it used to be so simple
When you dig just what you dig.
Nobody asks you questions,
It ain’t why, it just is.

We’ll go walking down by the river.
I will tell you all my dreams and my fears.
Have you ever felt so alone,
Since we came around here?

Well, Tori came from the block
With her portable stereo.
We would sit upon that driveway
And listen to Ray Charles’ “I Believe To My Soul.”

Well, I wanna tell her, “turn it up.”
And she would tell me, “soak it in.
She said, “let it ride you on down
When the walls they cave in.”

You know it used to be so simple
When you dig just what you dig.
Nobody asks you questions,
It ain’t why, it just is.
