Healing

I'm not gonna be the one to tell you
That everything takes time
I know the thought is overwhelming
With something heavy on your mind
No one's got a secret or any good advice
That’ll help to pull you through
Healing's just the hardest thing to do
I won't tell you not to think about it
Cause I might as well say just don't think at all
I can tell your head is overcrowded
And you've been staring at the wall
There's no room for excuses
When you've only got yourself to answer to
Healing's just the hardest thing to do
Someday this could all seem
Like such a waste of time
A toothache from an old dream
That stole away your prime
But you can't pick up your pace in a standstill
Or clean up your act in a landfill
You can only roll stones so far up a hill
'Fore they all roll right back over you
Someday this could all seem
Like such a waste of time
A toothache from an old dream
That stole away your prime
You might have to pick up your pace from a stand still
Or clean up your act in a landfill
It's pretty wild what you could get used to
Healing's just the hardest thing to do

Going Gone

Wish me luck, I know you think I’m runnin
Maybe I am
Send your love, I know I’m in a hurry
So pack up the truck
Did you hear me when I raised my voice
Louder, louder
Did you hear me when I made my choice
Going, going gone
Lookin back is hard when you are changing
And strainin’ your neck
Hold them close, these ghosts who seem
To haunt you, when you’re at your best
Did you hear me when I raised my voice
Louder, louder
Did you hear me when I made my choice
Going, going gone
And oh I’ve known, oh yes I always knew
Oh cause lovin’ all these ghosts won’t do
Oh some things a heart just cannot do
Oh some places ghosts just can’t fit through
Did you hear me when I raised my voice
Louder, louder
Did you hear me when I made my choice
Going, going
Did you hear me when I raised my voice
Louder, louder
Did you hear me? I made my choice
Going, going gone

Weekend
02:47
|

We could just stay in
Do the same old thing
Be just by ourselves
Don't need no one else
Just go on through the week
I just wanna take you out on the weekend, if I can
I just wanna hold your hand on the weekend
Well I just wanna take you out on the weekend
That’s my plan but I gotta go to work in the morning
We could just stay in
Do the same old thing
Be just by ourselves
Don't need no one else
Just go on through the week
I just wanna take you out on the weekend, if I can
I just wanna hold your hand on the weekend
Well I just wanna take you out on the weekend
That’s my plan but I gotta go to work in the morning
We could just stay in
Live our lives in sin
We could touch ourselves
Or be touched by someone else
Go on through the week (goin on through the week)
I just wanna take you out on the weekend, if I can
I just wanna hold your hand on the weekend
Well I just wanna take you out on the weekend
That’s my plan but I gotta go to work in the morning
I just wanna take you out on the weekend, if I can
I just wanna hold your hand on the weekend
Well I just wanna take you out on the weekend
That’s my plan but I gotta go to work in the mornin’

I’m attracted to your passion
And I gotta let you know
And if you don’t know that I care so
I might never let this go
Yea I’m attracted to your eyes
Shades of blue and of green and of gold
And in your glance is there a chance
You’ll let me in just let me know
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you’ll be fine
Finally the rain is comin’ down
Upon the desert of my life
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you’ll be fine
Finally the sun is shinin’ bright
We can shake away the strife
I’m attracted to your compassion
And I wanna let you in
And when your empathy runs wild
I yearn to dance with ya dome to chin
Yea I’m attracted to your hands
They’re callused up from your genius flow
Don't ever think of letting go
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you’ll be fine
Finally the rain is comin’ down
Upon the desert of my life
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you’ll be fine
Finally the sun is shinin’ bright
We can shake away the strife
I’m attracted to you
And I’ve run straight out of words
And if you do not know by now
Open up your ears and listen to the birds
Don’t get me started on that smile
I hope that gap never ever closes
And with those crows feet you’ll never lose me
You gimme a buzz from my head to my toeses
So, so, so take a...
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you’ll be fine
Finally the rain is comin’ down
Upon the desert of my life
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you’ll be fine
Finally the sun is shinin’ bright
We can shake away the strife
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you’ll be fine
Finally the rain is comin’ down
Upon the desert of my life
Take a ride inside my mind
Take a trip I swear you’ll be fine
Finally the sun is shinin’ bright
We can shake away the strife

I'll Be Fine
03:50
|
|||
Can’t quite get it off my mind
All this wasted wasting time
If ya need me I’ll be fine
Running races and I’m behind
I’ve got nothing to do
‘Cept waiting round waiting for somethin’ new
Nothing to say
‘Cept saying that I’ll save it for another day
And I’ve forgotten how to try
Watch the hours passin’ by
Can’t quite figure how to sleep
Got a job cause rent ain’t cheap
I’ve got nothing to do
‘Cept waiting round waiting for something new
Nothing to say
‘Cept saying that I’ll save it for another..
In my head, so many shades of blue
In my head I go dancing with a younger you
I’ve got nothing to do
‘Cept waiting round waiting for something new
Nothing to say
‘Cept saying that I’ll save it for another
I’ve got nothing to do
‘Cept waiting round waiting for someone new
Nothing to say
‘Cept saying that I’ll save it for a rainy day

Sarah

Sarah moved down to Harlan county
Found no work and found no bounty
Took her share to feed her kin
And kept em clear of medicine
What rotten shape they keep us in
When mama couldn't live alone
Sarah brought her family home
With Emma’s baby due in June
Four generations, two bedrooms
And not one goddamn thing to do
Can't this world get its use outta me
I'm just like a daisy underneath a canopy
With sunlight always out of reach
The years had slowed the foundry down
So Sarah tended bar in town
It was such a fight to pry the doors
Gettin’ women workin’ on the floors
No they don't make nothin’ anymore
Can't this world get its use outta me
I'm just like a daisy underneath a canopy
With sunlight always out of reach
There's not a dream left in my head
Except to give more than I take
But these walls are painted lead
And my spirit's shak(en/in)
Mama passed in '93
Tommy got his GED
Emma left and married young
A man content to raise her son
But Sarah had nowhere to run
So with nothing left to make her stay
Sarah thought she’d move away
But as she combed through locks of greying hair
The mirror seemed to catch her stare
No there's no sense going anywhere
Can't this world get its use outta me
I'm just like a daisy underneath a canopy
With sunlight always out of reach
She wondered
Can't this world get its use outta me
I'm just a like baby left to swing under a tree
The sunlight never gets to me

Do I, do I do I
Wanna be something different
Then who I am today
Do I have regrets, yes I do
Do I, do I, do I
It’s hard to imagine when I was young
Wishing to be older so I could run anywhere
Get away somewhere
Different from where I came
where it seemed all the same
But running wouldn’t get me any place further
From my negative thoughts and neither
Would I understand all at hand
All that I had to be
to know it wasn’t alright
Do I, do I do I
Wanna be something different
Then who I am today
Do I have regrets, yes I do
Do I, do I, do I
Thinking that I knew what was good for me
Pushing all the people that were my company
To the side, try to hide, that I lied
To myself but it don’t help, okay
But all this time spent thinkin’ and wonderin’
If it were the right way
took away the time to myself, for myself
Time to myself, for myself
Do I, do I do I
Wanna be something different
Then who I am today
Do I have regrets, yes I do
Do I, do I, do I
Wanna be something different
Then who I am today
Do I have regrets, I do
Do I, do I, do I

Mother

I got it from my mother
To focus on the cruel
To freeze when winter chills me
And quickly lose my cool
I got it from my mother
To spend all of my dough
On things that make me happy
On things that make me whole
I got it from my mother
To keep the fear at bay
But a handsome man once told me
Gotta blow the clouds away
I got it from my mother
My lungs my hips my chin
I keep my circle shut tight
I need to need to win
I might feel good for a moment
but good for a moment don’t last
I’m lookin’ for joy whatever that is
I heard it can kick happy’s ass
I might feel good for a moment
But good for a moment don’t last
Laughter in the darkness
Can lighten the past
I got it from my mother
Underestimate myself
I could lose my backbone
And will my wishes to the shelf
I got it from my mother
To drink away the pain
Sometimes I lose my balance
While poisoning my brain
My mother she read a book to me
Stand up to him hunny, it’ll set you free

Who Knows
04:41

I guess I’ll pack up my shit and go
I guess I don’t have much to say I don’t know
I don’t know
Am I terrified of the truth that’s in front of me?
Am I petrified like a stone inside?
Am I a stone inside?
Who knows if I’ll ever see the day?
Who knows if I’ll ever see the day?
I’m okay if I never see the day
Or am I telling myself that everyday, everyday?
If I’m terrified I’ll spend my days alone
If I’m petrified I’ll sink like a stone
If I’m ossified will I crumble to the bone?
Who knows if I’ll ever see the day?
Who knows if I’ll ever see the day?
I’m okay if I never see the day
Or am I telling myself that everyday, everyday?

Marietta

I got your postcard from St. Louis
it was nice of you to send
I love the way you signed it,
“Dear old friend”
Hope you're thinkin’ of me fondly
When you make it to LA
Remember how we joked about
Us living there someday
Don't ya go and write me a letter from
Marietta, Georgia where you don’t sleep alone
I made peace with your travels,
my composure unravels
Staring at that postal code
I'm here and you're gone
And I believe that's for the better
And I’m content to be your pawn
With each sweet half-hearted gesture
But I don’t need to know
the weather down in Marietta
Dear, I don't need to know
the weather down in Marietta
I expect a call from Eugene
With a case about the clouds
And an echo ‘cross the country
When you shout my name out loud
And my, my, when you’re in Telluride
I’ll be waitin’ on a snowy card
That mountain air, it can't keep ya long
Well, you got my sincerest regards
Don't ya go and write me a letter from
Marietta, Georgia where you don’t sleep alone
I made peace with your travels,
my composure unravels
Staring at that postal code
I'm here and you're gone
And I believe that's for the better
And I’m content to be your pawn
With each sweet half-hearted gesture
But I don’t need to know
the weather down in Marietta
Dear, I don't need to know
the weather down in Marietta
And now I’m thinkin’ you don’t like me
and that’s fine, I’m happy here
I prefer New England seasons
and my vision's getting clear
Forget me and my troubles
Don’t pretend you miss this face
This is the last time I’ll be writin’
Please don’t talk about that place
Don't ya go and write me a letter from
Marietta, Georgia where you don’t sleep alone
I made peace with your travels,
my composure unravels
Staring at that postal code
I'm here and you're gone
And I believe that's for the better
I’m not content to be your pawn
With each sweet empty-hearted gesture
And I don’t care to know
the weather down in Marietta
Dear, I don't care to know
the weather down in Marietta
Ooooo yea
Oh yeah

Crawl In

Crawl in my bed tonight
Hold me close and cuddle me to sleep
It's been a long, long day but I'm tryin’
To make it through and stop fussin’ and fightin’
Crawl in my head tonight
Read my thoughts so I don't have to speak
It's been a long, long week but I'm tryin’
To make do and stop fussin’ and fightin’
Crawl in my heart tonight
Listen close so to know what I really mean
It's been a long, long year but I'm tryin’
To make it through and stop fussin’ and fightin’ with you
Please know that I love you
Through all these days, these hours, these blues
Oh all these days, these hours, these blues
