about

A song I used to play at open mics. This version was recorded on October 30th, 2011.

lyrics

She said I miss it.
I used to kiss it.
Now she burns it off,
And she won't listen.

Told her, "I love her".
She said, "recover".
Now our lives have split right off
From one another.

The money's gone,
But I'll move on.
It's pickin' tunes
and moonshine all night long

But I can't complain
'Cuz no heavy rain
Can drown what's left
Of this young reckless brain

And where are the answers?
I search and curse the Earth and find only cancer
And how did I go nowhere?
I circle first my hurt 'til I just don't care.

I circle first my hurt, and now I've come right back around to you.

Said this is it,
Cross it off the list,
Things from here on out are gonna be different.
But then night fell,
And I could just smell
Those sins slither up
From those dark wells

I play the fool,
Break my own rules,
Tomorrow's sorrows always come too soon.
What can I say?
There's just no way
To feed your needs and please your higher brain.

So I am back up on that ride,
Even if I did not decide.
I just can't wait to arrive,
Air so fair when you're up that high.

To look around upon the ground,
From up above is such a rush.
To not know how you'll make it down
Is somewhat ugly, but you must.

And where are the answers?
I search and curse the Earth and find only cancer.
And how did I go nowhere?
I circle first my hurt 'til I just don't care.

I circle first my hurt, and I've come right back around to you.
