lyrics

careful conversations
i sort of lose face
and you don’t seem too well today
you’re always on guard
waiting for a confident change
while i just do my best to behave
and i’m waking up
coffee’s on
and you’re making up reasons for why you’re not
the sun is out
grab the grocery bag from your arm
the kids run inside
am i missing out?
i guess, yeah.

“forget yourself,”
you said,
“i’m running out of reasons to care.”
while i arrange my thoughts again
to get in line.
begin your day.
you’re afraid to try.

i was riding the train
somewhere to another state
i thought of you
thought about god
and what you said one time
i realized then
i haven’t found it yet
fully charged
without destination or purpose
just the longing to be sometimes

i feel alone and i drive for hours on end
why couldn’t you be stronger, more direct back then?
we could settle like dust on the ceiling fan
we’ll rise up just to get pulled back down again

begin your day.
i’m not afraid to try.
