Discover the story of the song > Liars – Gregory Alan Isakov

The protagonist and his partner are planning something together, but he needs to hurry because he's late for work. The lyrics then talk about their memories of when they were young and how the protagonist had to sell his baseball cards to buy clothes. He keeps thinking about moving to the city and meeting new people, but the hills and clouds around him keep calling him back. He sold some clothes to buy land, but now realizes that he's happy most of the time. He mentions riding trains and wondering why his partner gets to talk to everyone while he watches from his window. The protagonist also mentions his partner pointing out his flaws and how he sold his dreams to buy the land. The song ends with the lyrics "Now we're just liars" being repeated.
