Ellis Paul

Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey; January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. more »

Picture my face at your kitchen table,
We're both fifteen years old.
Your parents are sleeping upstairs in their bedroom, 
The house is quiet, but cold. 
Did I tell you then? 
These are moments whole lifetimes are built on. 

You're my best friend, 
And if it's tonight will these walls hold our secret? 
Don't breathe out loud  
It's like breaking glass, 
And the walls must hold the moments fast

Picture my face in the space of your garage. 
We're still fifteen years old. 
Naked in blankets, 
The angels would thank us 
If they knew how the future was told. 

Did I tell you then? 
These are moments whole lifetimes are built on. 

You're my best friend 
And now we're skin to skin 
Only sweat runs between us. 
Don't breathe out loud
Don't breathe out loud
Don't breathe

Hold these pieces, pictures in tatters. 
Fade the colors, still a fortune to hold. 

Picture my face in frame in a picture 
Of when we were fifteen years old. 
Fumbling for answers, 
Two out of step dancers 
Content in darkness to hold. 

Did I tell you then? 
These are moments my whole life is built on. 
You're my best friend.
Did I tell you then? 
Did I tell you then? 
Did I tell you?
