This is a song we wrote together. Stick around till the end to watch all silly stuff that goes on while we write songs together.

The sound of you and me
coming back from the night we wasted,
we're moving quickly towards the ground
And we both know that it's just an echo,
it isn't the same as the ones we made
the first time around.

I am not the one you loved,
we got lost out there in the summer air
and salvation's never come.
I am not the one you loved,
cause the girl you knew never made it through
back where she was from.

you tell me nothing's wrong
but I can see it when you're sleeping.
I hate to say it's no surprise.
The bed is breaking from all the stories we've been keeping,
the you and me, how we used to be, that we can't revise.

I am not the one you loved,
we got lost out there in the summer air
and salvation's never come.
I am not the one you loved,
cause the girl you knew never made it through
back where she was from.

Spoke so softly
you couldn't hear me over the sound
words that we spoke
but now we misquote,
slowly unwound.

I am not the one you loved,
we got lost out there in the summer air
and salvation's never come.
I am not the one you loved,
cause the girl you knew never made it through
back where she was from.

Awesome harmonies on "we both know it's just an echo".

You have an Iron and Wine-like ability to cut right to the heart with simplicity and a gorgeous melody. The extra mandolin track was a nice touch, though.  ;-)

The back and forth vocals at the end are stellar. I wish you had done even a bit more there.

Wow. I just love this. The more I listen, the more I like it...Just such a beautiful sound - the two guitars + mandolin? And your voices are so fantastic together. Such a fan of you Hannah and also together with Maggie.
